A I" KNOCKER"
Found on Many Tables.

People will Slug themselves with
coffee and then hunt around for medi-
cine to cure them of the trouble coffee
produces. but they keep on drinking
coffee and making new trouble right
along That is, some people do. There
are thoughtful people, however, and
their number is increasing every month,
who prefer good. sturdy health TO sick

it contains a rug-caffeine-that pro-
duces disease.
Many people have to learn by hard
knocks that this is true and they get
the knocks all right if they stick to cof-

LAW A PUzzLER.
Attorney General Answers Many Ques-
tons About High School Statute.

About four opinions a day on the
Barnes high school law is the general
average which is being maintained
nowadays by the state superintendent
of education, in conjunction with John
Dawson assistant attorney general The
people of Kansas seem to be more puz-
zIed by the Interpretation OF the Barnes
law than by any other law enacted of
recent years
The great difficulty is that the Barnes
law makes no provision OF any kind for
taking care of what are known as
Joint school districts which lap over
into one or more counties.
Joint school districts which include
territory in more than one county are
under the supervision OF the county
superintendent of the county which has
the most territory in the joint district.
It happens that under the optional pro-
visions of the Barnes high school law,
one of the joint school districts may be
located partly in a county which adopt
ed the Barnes law, and has high
school, and partly in county which
rejected the law and has no high school.
Or it may be partly in county which
has high school under the general
county high school law, and partly in
a county which operates under the
Barnes law. There are half dozen or
more such combinations, each a little
different from the other, each of which
has to be decided on its own merits.
The question of which county superin-
tendent is authorized to supervise the
joint district may be controlling fea-
ture or the question of population of
the Joint district may have to be taken
into consideration
I'VE decide some of them one way
and some the other said Mr.. Dawson
in speak king of the situation.
One state official intimated that the
Barnes law could probably be knocked
out entirely on the ground of constitu-
tionality. if anybody had disposition
to test it.
1.-THE fact of the matter is said this
official the state ought to have law

time, we compel people to support pub
