MAKING OF SOCIALISTS
Ray stannard Baker Says That Is Eff
feet of NIr. Rogers Attitude.


Ray Stannard Baker was i'm Law
renee yesterday interviewing w. Roscoe
Stubs about the freight rate situation.
Baker is associate editor of Mcclure
Magazine, and is getting up story
about the freight rate question He at
tended the recent freight rate conven-
ton at Wichita
In an interview Mr.. Baker saws:
Just such actions as those of Mr.
Rogers are making socialists in this
country every day. But the time is
past in this country when one man is
bigger than the law. There isn't any
use of man defying the law. I think
II was decidedly poor grace on the part
of Mr.. Rogers to joke of MI Hadley
and the investigation which ne is con-
Quoting. But I am an optimist I do
not know just how all these things are
going to be worked out, but I feel they
are coming. The people of this country
viii wake up some day and assert their
right to own this government
AT present the government is entire
" too largely controlled by the Standard
Oil and the railroads. The senate of
the United States ought to be brought
nearer the people. And I have said I
am hopeful.
Kansans know more about railroad
rates than most people in this country
I should say that Wisconsin is about
the only other state in which the people
are generally so well rested upon this
situation. But I looked on this Wichita
gathering and talked with number of
men out in that country. cattlemen and
others. They showed a good under
standing of the situation. Most OF all.
the business men of the state are in it.
1 believe that they are starting in the
right direction"
Mr.. Baker says that J. Ogden Armour
in his article in the Saturday Evening
Post Of recent date. virtually charged
commission mer with being dishonest.
He says that is only Mr. Arnour's side
of the story. The American people.
however, are pleased he believes. that
Mr. Armour should have vouchsafed
some information on the subject and
that the thing of which they are desir-
Gus is publicity.

SPREAD OF DIPHTHERIA.
Patron of Topeka Schools Calls Atten-
ton to Alarming Practice.

To the Editor of the State Journal:
Since reading an article published in
the State Journal some time ago, by
DR.. Crumbine of the state board of
health, relative to the epidemic of
dlphtheria in Yates Center and the
cause for which he attributes to the
wholesale use of lead pencils among
the pupils of the schools, has led me
TO inquire if such a rule existed in our
own city schools. and it developed that
the drawing pencils and penholders
are furnished by the school board and
are distributed among the pupils when
drawing and writing takes place.
This may seem to some a small mat
ter to question in our excellent school
system, but let all parents having
chlldren in the city schools consider
this matter in its true light. We would
spare no expense or pains to shield the
health of our children. Now it seems our
Watchful care counts for naught. when
our boys and girls are permitted or re-
CURED to use the same pen and pencil
that has perhaps been in the mouths
of a score or more of other children.
RMS. as Dr.. Crumbine has fifty said,
would be one of the surest and quick
est ways of transmitting disease" How
many children go into the school room
with uncOmbed hair. faces that seldom
see the wash rag, and whose noses are
stranger to a handkerchief, and yet
they have the privilege of chewing the
same lead pencil or penhOlder that
your little girl or boy may have tomor-
row.
There is hardly parent too poor to
/ furnish pens and pencils for their chill
dren. Death claimed five pupils from
one of our schools alone through the
dread diphtheria
I believe the school board would be
wise i'm giving this matter considera-
ton Sanitary drinking fountains. per
! feet system of ventilation and even
temperature are all grand and good.
! lngly unlmpOrtant that would knock
perfect sanitation into smithereens,
Even if disease were not transmitted
+ in this manner the very fact of the
promiscuous use Of pencils is revolving
/ to refined people.

Ia those good old-fashioned days it
was common for mothers to make their
own home medicines from roots and
herbs, natures own Notwithstanding
in a physician only in specially urgent
cases. BY tradition and experience
many of them gained a wonderful
knowledge of the curative properties Of
the various roots and herbs.
Mrs. Pinkham took a great interest
in the study of roots and herbs their
characteristics and power over disease.
She maintained that just as nature so
bountifully provides i'm the harvest fields
and orchards vegetable foods of all
kinds; so. if we but take the pains to
ind them. jim the roots and herbs of
the field there are remedies expressly
designed to cure the various ills and
weaknesses of the body, and it was her
pleasure to search these out. and pre-
pare simple and effective medicines for
her own family and friends.
Chief of these was a rare coplbina-
ton of the choicest medicinal roots and
herbs found best adapted for the cure
of the Ills and Weaknesses peculiar to
the female sex, and Lydia e. Pinkham's
friends and neighbors learned that her
compound relieved and cured and # be-

AT this point Lydia T. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound was made known
TO the world.
The three sons and the daughter. with
their mother combined forces to restore
the family fortune. They argued that
the medicine which was so good for
their woman friends and netshbors was
equally good for the women of the whole
world
The PiEkhans had no money. and lit

kitchen, where roots and herbs were

How to Fool asLazy Liver
with Artificial Exercise

ia VERY serious Sickness has
IL small beginning.
And. in nine cases out Of
LIZ ten that small beginning is
made in the Bowels.
Indigestion is the beginning Of most
diseases.
1t paves the way for all others.
Lack Of exercise. hasty eating, improper
food, are its first causes.
Laziness. and postponement, permits it
to grow into Chronic Constipation, which
means lifelong Discomfort.
It isn't necessary to be siok-a-bed, you
know. in order to be mighty uncon-
Portable.
Even slight indigestion affects the
merry sunshine of Life.
And, Indigestion once started, grows
fast, corrodes temperament, and discounts
happiness, good cheer. capacity.
It does that long before it puts you on
the Sick list.
Every thinking Doctor knows why.
Professor Rand knew it.
That's why he framed up for students
his famous formula for Happiness, viz:
Trust in God, and keep your Bowels
open"
The Bowels need adjustment from time
to time, just like q clock, or watch.
No Good time is humanity possible
without this.
And, the time to adjust the watch is
not when it has run down, nor when the
main spring is broken, but at the very
minute adjustments discovered necessary.
The time to adjust the Bowels is not
merely when your Head Aches, when your
Liver is Sick, your Stomach in Revolt. and
Natures Food Process retarded for a
hours or longer.
The proper time 10 adjust them is the
very minute you suspect they need adjust
