90 Per Cent of All Diseases the Result
of Undigested PURIFYING Foods.

Men of affairs, women of society
and children with active brains are
too often sendentary in their habits,
giving little time to exercise. To this
evil is added that of high and irregu-
lar living-as a result, the stomach
cannot stand the demands made upon
it. The abused and overtaxed stom-
ach does not properly do the work of
digestion, food taken in ferments and
the poison permeates the whole sys-
tenn. The body loses in weight and be-
comes a prey for the attack of what
ever disease it may encounter
Did it every occur to you how busy
that stomach of yours is? 1t only holds
three pints, but in one year you force
it to take in 400 pounds of material,
digest it and prepare it for assimilati On
into the blood. No wonder it rebels
when overworked. We crowd it with
steaks and pastry, irritate its juices
with spices and acids, and expect the
stomach to do its work. 1t can't do ii.
CHI are glands which secrete the juices

oe food into the stomach is the signal
for these glands to do their work The

from the government service. Leland
was appointed inspector Decem Der s.,

GILES WILL SELL OUT.
We'll known Dealers in Teas, CoRees
and Oriental Ware to Quit

E. D. Giles and brother Nelson
Giles, jr., who recently sold their bust
ness property at No. 533 Kansas ave-
nue., are planning to sell out their en-
tire stock of teas and coffees, oriental
ware, curios, china and glassware, etc,
at cost.
The building has to be vacated by
May list, in order to permit the con-
struction of new modern business
block on the corner of Sixth and Kan
sas avenues by the Bank of Topeka.
A cut of one-third will be made on
the prices of all the wares in Giles
stock. The stock is above the grade
ordinarily found in a city the size of
Topeka. The Giles brothers have had
a buyer who went to China and Japan
and bought goods for importation to
the Topeka store direct, and the stock
includes about everything that may be
found in the best shops OF this char
acter in the large eastern cities.
The Giles brothers will retire from
business after closing out this stock
of goods. Nelson Giles, jr-, will re-
main in Topeka, but E. D. Giles will
locate at Denver, Col, where he has
purchased. an income producing bust
ness property. <-eF
The Giles boys first located in To-
peka in 1872 E. d. Giles was then
about 20 years of age. They engaged
later sold out to go to California. They
returned shortly after and reentered
business in Topeka. Again they sold
out, and later purchased what was
known as the Fish stock. This was
fourteen years ago. The business was
then located in the Crawford opera
house block. Later the business was
removed to No. 100 East Sixth avenue
to a property owned by Mr.. Giles.
About two years ago the stock was
moved to the building at No. 533 Kan
Sas avenue, also owned by Mr.. Giles.
It gave them more floor space and
better opportunity of displaying the
goods.
Recently this building was pur-
chased by John r. Mulvane for the
Bank of Topeka, and Mr.. Giles dec1d-
ed upon retiring permanently from
business. For this reason he an
nounces that he will close out the en-
tire stock of goods at cost. or just one-

GIVE ALL A CHANCE.
House Passes Bill to Assure Western
Counties Representation.

There is a likelihood that there will
pe reapportionment of the state rela-
tive to representative districts this ses-
sion. The house passed the Miller re-
apportionment bill yesterday afternoon
by a vote of Sc to % and the bill is
now in the senate and its existence

county having $50 population is entl-
tied to a representative and that the

Rochester of Scott county introduced
a reapportionment bill earlier in the
session but the members from the east

gentleman from Brown is attempting
the same tactics used to kill a similar
bill earlier in the session and he has
no reason for such action and it is not
justified for there is no justification

sentative from this county.
Beeson of Ford said. These west

THE INJURIOUS HABIT
Of CROSSING YOUR LEGS
THE CONSTANT INDULGENCE IN
THIS COMFORTABLE POSI-
TON PRODUCES MANY

A most Injurious habit, common
alike to men and women, is that Of
sitting with one leg swung over the
knee Of the other. Headaches, cold
feet, yarlcose veins, ulcers and many
other llscomforts attendant on an i'm.
perfect circulation Of the blood are d.
rectly taceable to this nabit, says the
September De1ineator.
when the right leg is swung over
the left knee the whole weight is sus'
.tained by this knee placing all the
pressure against the under part Of the
right leg between the calf and the
Ikneecap. At this very place are a
great number of large veins, arteries
and nerves; the pressure on them
crowds all the tissues together and ma
terially Interferes with the circulation
Of the blood, and the disturbance Of
natures processes manifests itself IN
many bodily evils and Inconvenience.
Many who would not be guilty Of cross
ing the legs in public often surrender
to the temporary comfort Of the posi-.
ton in lie secluslon Of their own
rooms. It is wrong and injurious be-
cause it defes nature, whose laws
are more imperative than those Of SO,
ciety.
