Editor Gibbs on Boys.
Editor Ernest Gibbs, for a long
time connected with the newspapers
Of Hickman, is now at East Prai-
rie, Mo-, and is giving the people Of
that little town good paper. But
few days before Christmas some
Of Gibbs foreign friends sent him a
small vial as new-years gift, and
here's what appeared in his paper a
few days later:
Somebody has figured out that
the averages boy who IS dependent
upon his parents for a livelihood un
til he reaches the age Of twenty one
years. costs them four thousand
dollars. On this basis of calcula-
ton brood, tor instance, of six
would represent an outlay of TWEEN
ty.tour thousand dollars by the
time they get away from the home
roost. The question arises does it
pay to raise boys and are there no
other crops that would prove more
profitable? If a boy turns out to
be cigarette fiend with a breath
like turkey buzzard and a laugh
L. fto Rfs.f
donkey feel perfectly at home in his
society with an untrammeled and
unconquerable desire to avoid work,
il is safe to say that his parents
might have invested the four thou
sand dollars at much better advan-
tage. But if the boy grows up to
manhood with the lesson we'll learn
d1ihat wealth and success grow
OF. on bushes watered by the
sweatsgf ones brow, the parents
need not begrudge whatever they
have spent ~ t1;~, for he will be
source Of increasing nride and Joy
to their hearts, and wHn itheyS grow
old and their hands trefnbleN and
their legs wabble and their step Is
slow and faltering, they have two
strong arms to lean upon and help
them over all the rough places that
lie in their twilight path.

DON'T USE BANANAS.
Mayor Davis Corrects Impression
About F1avoring Extracts.

There is not a banana havoring ex-
tract sold on the market which is not
made artihcially," said Mayor W. H
Davis with regard to the criticism
which the state board of health made
IN report upon the investigation in
the interests of pure food. The state
board Of health stated that the "Prim-
rose brand of banana extract should
be labeled artificial banana f1avoring
because it was not made from the
fruit.
All of the banana favoring extracts
are made from compound of ethyl.
an organic compound, . said the mayor
whose firm, the Parkhurst-DaVis Gro
Gerry company, makes the primrose"
brand. 1T is understood, universally
so, that it is a chemical preparation
AS far as that is concerned there is not
a fruit fiavOring extract sold on the
market with the one exception of
lemon, which is made directly from the
fruit. There is no need therefore in
labelling it an artificial f1aVOring. In
addition there is nothing harmful
about it."

TO SETTLE BIG SUIT.
Million Dollar zinc Roasting Kiln
Case at lola to End.

lola, Kas., Feb. 8.=The Brown
Lanyon patent infringement lawsuit
VIII be settled out of court. At least
that is the statement of an attorney
high in the councils Of the parties.
The Brown-Lanyon case is one OF
the largest ever brought in the
courts Of the west. especially as a
patent infringement case. Mr.. Brown,
OF Chicago, claims that the Lanyon
people infringed on some patent
rights he held on an ore roasting de-
vice Brown sold his right to d zinc
company in Illinois, and they are
joint eomplainants in the case. They
claimed that the Lanyon people had
been using this right for several years
and asked $1,000. 600 damages at first.
They however decided to come down
a little, and when last heard from
were only asking $500. 600. It is prob
able that they have lowered this.
The Lanyon people claim that the
machine they use is the work of one
of their men and that they have every
purchased right to its use. They also
claim that their invention is not like
the Brown patent and have gone to
great expense to bring expert patent
attorneys here from New York and
Boston to uphold this claim.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY
CANDIDATES OBJECT TO IT.
Aspirants for state Offices Don't Want
Primary System.

The Stubs plan to have a state pri-
mary held for the nomination of a state
ticket as announced last week by The
State Journal. is not making much of A
hit with the candidates for state offices.
They say it would cost too much, and, be-
sides, would not be a fair way for choOs-
ing state officers. Said one of the lead
ing candidates today:
1T is absolutely impossible for can
didate for a state office to be known to
the voters of the state. No calIdidate
can afford to make a campaisn among
the voters of sufficient extent - really
give the voters an intelligent ieca Of
who he is, or what his qualifications are.
For a. county or congressional dis
trict, primary election is all right be
cause people eaH Know what they are
doing. But for a whole state, the scheme
is entirely impractical. and would result
in the selection of ticket which would
be lacking in strength
There are 1900 voting precincts in the
state 1t would take at least $40 to the
precinct to pay judges and clerks. The
expense of printing ballots and other
incidental expenses would aggregate
fully 81. 000 So state primaries would
cost at least $4,000 The only way this
could be raised would be to assess the
candidates, and many of them couldn't
stand it. 1t would make rich mans
ticket, and such a ticket wouldn't get
far in Kansas.

A Boys BREAKFAST
There's a Natural Food That Makes
It's Own Way.

There's a boy up in HoOsick Falls,
n. Y, who is growing into sturdy man
hood on Grape-Nuts breakfasts. It
might have been different with him,
as his mother explains:
MY 11-year-old boy is large, well
developed and active, and has been
made so by his fondness for Grape
Nuts food. At Eve years he was a
very nervous child and was subject to
frequent attacks Of indigestion which
used to rob him of his strength and
were very troublesome to deal with.
He never seemed to care for anything
for his breakfast until I tried Grape
Nuts. and I have never had to change
from that. He makes his entire break
fast of Grape-Nuts food. 1t is always
relished by him and he says that it
satisfies him better than the ordinary
kind of a meal
Better than all he is no longer trou-
bled with Indigestion or nervousness,
and has got to be a splendidly de-
veloped fellow since he began to use
Grape-Nuts food Name given by

STORING COAL.
Chicago Dealers Are Preparing for the
Impending Strike.

Chicago. Feb. S.=The greatest sup
ply of coal in the history of Chicago
is being gathered here in anticipation
of the coal miners strike April i.
Within the next sixty days, if the
preparations that have been made are
carried put, dit is.estimated that nearly
a millipn tons efacoaI will have been
stored away in Chicago.
There are $50, 900 tons of hard coal
now stored IN Chicago" said c. L.
Deering, western coal manager for the
Lackawanna railroad. This means
that one-fourth of the total amount
consumed in Chicago in a year is on
hand. In addition to this, hundreds Of
carloads are being rushed here daily.
It is the intention to keep the coal
moving westward as rapidly as pos
sible so that in case there is a strike
of the miners a scarcity Of fuel can be
avoided"

HE BLIND, SHE roo YOUNG.
Why a Marriage License Was Refused
a Couple.

Pittsburg. Kan, Feb. s.-Probate
Judge Wilson refused to issue a mar
rage license to a blind man and young
girl, both of Pittsburg last week on the
grounds that the girl was too young
and that the blind man was unable to
show that he was capable of support
ing a wife. The blind man is among
the familiar figures on the streets OF
Pittsburg where he has resided for a
number of years. He owns some pro-
perty but the judge failed to see the
advisability of granting the license. The
young lady is only IS years of age
which was another reason that the IL
cense was refused. The same couple
had asked for a license from Probate
Judge Jones at Girard only several
weeks ago and were refused it by the
Judge.

RUNNING SORES
COVERED LIMBS
Lille Girls Obstinate Case Of
Eczema = instantaneous Relief
By Cuticura-Little Boys Hands

Of Torturing Sores - Grateful
Mother Saysi
" CUTICURA REMEDIES
4 HOUSEHOLD STANDBY"

In reply to your letter I write you
my experience, and you are privileged
TO use It as you see fit. Last wear.
after having my little girl treated by
very prominent physician for an obsti-
nate case Of eczema, 1 resorted to the
Cutlcura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous
relief afforded that we discarded the
physicians prescription and relied en-
tirely on the Cutieura Soap, Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Pills. When
we commenced with the Cuticura Rem
edies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six weeks
we had her completely well, and there
has been no recurrence of the trouble.
In July Of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and arms
with poison oak, and in twenty-four
hours his hands and arms were a mass
of torturing sores. We used only the
Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands
and arms with the Cutieura SOAP. and
anointed them with the Cuticura ONT
ment, and then gave him the Cutie1ra
Re5olvent. In about three weeks his
hands and arms healed up; so we have
lots Of cause for feeling grateful for the
Cuticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do
twelve miles from a doctor, and where
It costs from twenty to twenty-five dol
lars to come up on the mountain.

UNCLE SAM COMPANY GROWS.
January Report Shows Big Increase in
Business.

The Uncle Sam Oil refinery at Cherry
vale has filed its January report with the
state auditor, showing the biggest
months business in the history of that
concern The company manufactured and
sold 2.523 barrels of kerosene, 1S2 barrels
of gasoline and 102 barrels of fuel oil The
total amount of gasoline and kerosene
manufactured in December was 500 bar
rels, which shows an increase of coo bar
rels in the production of the Uncle Sam
company in a month.
Tt seems that the Independent refiners
are getting a good hold in the state of
Kansas. few more reineries the size
of the Uncle Sam, and the whole state of
Kansas can be supplied by independent
ref1neries. The only question now seems
to be whether the Independents can ind
a market for their oil. It may be hard
for them 20 dislodge the Standard with
out cutting prices
