Beware of Corporations.
Whereas, We, as individuals, would
not employ or trust our cases in law

to be under the influence of such cor

view of ascertaining their relations to
corporations who have been dominat-
ing the politics of Kansas.
Resolved, That we favor a primary
system which provides for a direct vote
for nomination of all delegates and Of

and would urge that all primaries be
held by all parties on the same day.
Resolved, That we favor a modifi-

to enlarge our markets and at the

Under TO circumstances should it be

more DESTROYS of retaining it than Of

But only a small number of the

Food
NOT MEDICINE.

IF all the treatments for
consumption were put in
book form it would make a
pretty big library. But after
all there has been little i'm
provement over the old treat
ment of rest, fresh air, sun
shine, plain, wholesome
food and SCOTS Emulsion.
The latter supplies nourish-
ment that cannot be secured
in any other way, and after
all, nourishment is what the
consumptive needs first.
A gain in weight, however
slight, is a long step toward
improvement. If there is the
least thing to build on SCOTS
Emulsion will enable the pa
tient to make that gain. Peo-
pie have gained a pound in
weight from a bottle of SCOTS
Emulsion-it's an exception
when they don't.
We have seen SCOTS
Emulsion take hold of a pa
tent and bring about a
change for the better inside
Of a week. It always helps
even the most stubborn cases.

TooTHPIcK LED TO FORTUNE.

From John w. Gates.

At the Waldorf the other night
Charles M. Schwab was seated with

for the moment to have his attention

in his hand, and remarked:

VIRTUES OF OLIVE OIL.
One Of the Most Valuable of All Toilet
Adjuncts.

The uses and virtues of olive oil are
many-not only from a culinary point
of view, but as a medicine and an ad.
junct to the toilet.
For internal use olive oil is extreme
ly valuable, in many cases being as
good If not better than cod liver oil,
and far more palatable, while as
beauty specific it is of more value
than many high-priced cosmetics and
skin foods, both of which last virtues
it unites in itself.
With respect to skin food and cos.
metics no animal fat, or any cream
having such as base, should ever be
used for the face, as it has a tendency
to encourage that most fatal foe to
woman's beauty-superfuou hairs.
Olive oil, however, being vegetable
product, has no such injurious effect
and can be used with safety by almost
anyone, except, perhaps, those with
greasy skins.
But particularly those who have ar
rived-or are arriving-at the much
talked-of and dreaded uncertain age"
should not neglect the regular use of
olive oil; 1t helps in wonderful way
to preserve the soft nothings of chin
and throat.
Some people advocate pure glycerin,
but this sticky stuff is absolutely ru-
nous to the skin and should never be
used alone; olive OIL, on the other
hand, is most beneficial.
AS to the method of its employment,
simply wash the face well and then
gently rub the oil in with finger tips,
using an upward motion for the
cheeks, till the skin has absorbed as
much as it can, then wipe off with
clean wadding, lint or piece of old
linen.

Telephone Hears Whispers Best.

The secrephone is the whispering
telephone. A message can be whis.
pered into it so that person standing
but yard away cannot hear what is
being said, while every word is cor.
rectly transmitted to the receiver at
the other end of the line a mile away
or more. For this to be done the mes
sage must be actually whispered. If
spoken more loudly, of course, the
speaker can be heard more than a
yard away from the transmitting in
strument. Properly used, however, a
message can be sent in privacy even
with people quite close.
AS present experience goes 1t re-
qulres some little practice to pitch the
voice correctly so as TO get the best re.
suits with the faintest whisper. But
the lesson is not difficult to learn.
PEOPLE with high-pitched voices will
undoubtedly make themselves heard
more distinctly at the other end of the
line with less noise at the transmit
ing end than is possible for those with
lower-pitched voices. The instrument
Is claimed to be practically imperisb.
able and cannot get out of order with

Unhappy Love Affairs.

A clergyman discussing unhappy
love affairs said:
Many love tragedy is caused by
a husbands promise to a dying wife
that he will not marry again. He
thinks when he makes this promise
that 1t will be easy to keep. Whether
1t is easy or hard to keep it is prom
ise rarely, if ever, broken.
Thine and again widowers have
sought me out for advice on this sub.
iect. They are in love, but they prom
ised their dead wives not to marry
again. Shall they break or keep this
promise? l can only advise them to
do as their conscience dictates.
AT the SAINT. time l think it is sell
fish for dying wives to extract such
promises from their broken-hearted
husbands. Such promises, by the way,
are rarely extracted by dying hus-
bands from broken-hearted wives. But
then when the dead husbands will is
read it is usually found that if the
widow marries again the money is all
taken from her. So it comes to the
same thing in the end, doesn't it,"

what degree of perfection those PEG.
pie over there have developed the fac

Let me give you an instance in
point, and it is only one of the many
which changed me from a skeptic to
a convert. Several years ago, when
was in active work as a civil engineer
with railroad construction as my
specially, went to India to assist in
building a line into the interior. We
came to a heading where the use of
rock drills, of the tripod style you see
in use here in New York in making
excavations, was absolutely neces.
sary. This had been foreseen in the
surveys made in advance of the con-
struction work, and we had ordered
battery of those steam drills. Finally
we worked RICH up to the place where
we needed them, and we could not
do much more effective work until
we got them.
81 was in the Office one day, Tuning
and fretting about those drills and
wondering whether the steamship
upon which they should have arrived
had reached Calcutta and whether
the drills were in her cargo. asked
one of my assistants If he had heard
anything from Calcutta, which was
many miles away. He replied in the
negative. He had not even received
advices that the steamship had ar
rived. I was turning away in discon-
tent when one of the East Indians
who had been assigned by the gov
eminent to assist us, stepped forward
He was educated highly and spoke
English fluently.
Excuse me-, he said were you
asking If the steamship had arrived?'
"'Yes-we are expecting several
steam drills on her and cannot do
much more work until we get them
I replied.
"'She arrived this morning and the
drills have been unloaded from her.
said the East Indian. "They are on
the pier now, but something seems to
be missing from them. Are they
funny-looking things that stand on
three legs?'
81 told him they were and showed
to him picture of one OF the drills.
