Why Not Go After This?

We notice in the Topeka dis
patches that Superintendent
Charles, in his biennial report re-
commends the appropriation Of
$4,000 by the coming legislature
for the purpose of purchasing a
farm in some western county and
moving the boys industrial school
onto it. Now why would it not
be a good iGea for our CONNER
cial Club and Business Mems AS
ssociation to take this matter up,
and if this institution is to be
moved to the central or western
portion of the state, try to get it
located at Great Bend. Certainly
if the superintendent wants to get
the boys out into..a farming com
munity this is the place to get it.
There is no doubt but what the
effort would be worth trying for
and we hope to see it taken up.
At present, aside from the
Soldiers home at Dodge City,
there is no state institution in the
south west part of the state, or in
all that part of the state west
of Hutchinson, and south of line
drawn east west on the south side
of Ellis county. Surely the
claims of this most excellent and
growing portion of the state is
entitled to and doubtless would
secure recognition. and while it is
getting that, why can't Great
Bend be the spot. Push it along.

Do NOT DOSE The STOMACH.
Cure Catarfh by Breathing HyOmei-
Sold Under Guarantee.

The only scientific and common
sense way to treat catarrh of the
nose and throat is by a local ap.

have no good effect, and often
leads to serious arrangement Of
the digestive organs.

four times daily through the neat
pocket inhaler that comes with
every outfit, its medicated, heal

remote parts of the nose, throat,
