TEN MILLIONS ANNUALLY.
Will Be Required to Meet Conditions
Of New Nine Hour Law.

Until the conditions which have
been brought about by the new nine
hour law can be changed by the rail-
roads, they will have to spend between
$S,000,00O and $10,000,0O0 annually in
CARRYING out the provisions pertaining
solely to telegraph operators. In
obeying the law railroads have been
compelled to close thousands of sta
lions as telegraph stations throughout
the country, to substitute the tele-
phone for the telegpha in many other
stations and to close stations parts or
the day, usually six hours, which were
open formerly day and night, and TO
employ three men instead or TWO at
stations which are open day and night.
The act which has necessltated so
great a change in the method of opera
ton on the railroads of the United
States is entitled IAN act to promote
the safety of employees and travellers
upon railroads by limiting the hours
Of service or employees thereon" There
are only three clauses to the act, one
defining the term railroads" "hours
of service and employees" second
fixing the hours of continuous LABOR,
and the third prescribing the penalty
for violation of the provisions of the
act.
The new law applies to employees in
the train and in telegraph service.
Generally speaking the act prohlblts
any emp1oye in the train service from
remaining on duty continuously longer
than sixteen hours. In cases where
employees do remain in service con-
tinuously for the limit Of time ten
hours rest is prescribed before they
are again permitted to go to work. If
an employee has been at work an ag-
gregate Of sixteen hours during the
twenty-four he must then have at least
eight hours rest before again going
to work. This Is the law. provided"
however no operator, train dispatcher
or other employe engaged in taking
train orders shall be permitted to
remain on duty longer than nine hours

that physicians have decided that a
degeneration Of the brain tissue ac-
companies moral obliquity. To restore
the normal condition the specific
glycero-phosphates is now prescribed.
This announcement was made today
by DR.. John D. Quackenbos, a former
professor of psychology at Columbia
university.
DR.. Quackenbos stated that observa-
ton of hundreds Of moral and mental
deflcients has convinced him that a
physical impairment invariably ac-
companied moral and mental delin-
quency.
Psyche therapeutics have so far
advanced that psychologists believe
that there is physical cause for
moral impairment. Stealing is a symp-
tom of deficient mental tissue. The
deficiency is degeneration of the
lecithin of the brain; that is, the pro-
toplasm of the cell is imperfect" said
the doctor.
'In treating a thief by suggestive
therapeutics I have found it necessary
to repair the physical weakness, and
have been giving for some time guam
titles of glycero-phosphates to improve
the quality of the lecfthin. Such phos-
pilates are found in meat.

The Recent Business Depression
Charged to the East.

An investigation undertaken by the
Santa Fee road to ascertain the center
of the business depression has result

in the movement of manufactured
articles and general merchandise. This
conclusion has been reached from
careful analysis of the frelgnt TON m

In the course of the investigation it
was found that during the first ten

1t takes sunshine to produce a

comfort, sunshine, and will cling to
the man who has it. who radiates

Some people have genius for
seeking out the disagreeable, the

are the destroyers; they travel in

IN VAUDEVILLE HOUSES.
At the Novelty.

Master Helm, a diminutive youngster,
eight or nine years old, Is the hit on
the bill at the Novelty theater for this
week, notwithstanding the fact that
there are many other entertaining fea-
lures to the show. This lad is a born
comedian. And although he is scarcely
knee high to a grasshopper" and OF
tender years he makes the average
vaudeville funny man look like the pro-
verbal thirty cents. He puts on sing
ing act interspersed with a variety OF
good fun with his sister, who is a
clever little miss few years his SEN
ior, that is a scream from start to fin
ish. His antics with his feet. his GEES
lures and his grimaces are wonderfully
funny. He kept the large audiences at
both the performances yesterday in
roars of laughter and if his health is
spared him he is bound to develop into
a truly great comedian.
But. then young Helm and his sister
are not the only fun producers on this
weeks bill at the Novelty. All of the
acts are on the comedy order and make
up show that is most enjoyable. Van
Cleve, Miss Denton and their mule Pete
are among the contributors to the fun.
Pete has something of a stubborn dis
position and is as free with his kicks
and bites as the average unframed
mule. Most of the time he refuses eth
er to be led or pushed, but he finally
in a ring while Van Cleve does some
bareback riding that is laughable. La
Ear and La Ear, a couple of clever
musicians on many instruments, add to
the fun with some good comedy besides
some excellent playing and they have
with them dog who sits up and sings
a real dog solo. Bush and Elliott, a
couple of knockout aorobats, keep the
ball of fun a rolling with lots of good
work in their line and one OF them is
particularly clever on the horizontal
bar. Kretore, who styles himself as
the mad musical furnishes the other
act on the bill. He does nothing to en-
thuse over until the conclusion of his
act when he plays some tunes on
dozen common ordinary pint glass
TASKS. And these efforts Of his are well
worth hearing as they are novel. They
are so good that number Of encores
were demanded by yesterdays au
diences.
Two good illustrated songs are on the
bill, Mr.. Irwin singing II Wish 1 Had a
Girr' and Miss Parfltt rendering IVA
ter LOU The show is completed with
three series of interesting moving pic
lures.

She is neat in appearance and her work

At the Majestic.

Two acts shine out as being oon-
spicuo uSly good among those which
go to make up the show at the Ma
jestic for this week, show that will
average up well with the good ones
that have been at this house. And
these two acts are out OF the ordi-
nary. One of them is presented by
three Japanese children, who are
acrobats of the first water and the
other is given by a collection of dogs
that are put through their PAGES by
Professor Miett.
1t is not remembered that there
has ever been Japanese acrobat
act in Topeka that could be called
poor one. Some of them. of course,
are better than others, but all of them
Otura children, they are really in a
class by themselves. and they nego-
tate some acrobatic stunts with ease
that grown men would hesitate to at
tempt. They are certainly wonderful
acrobats, not only for their years, but
bends and postures they stand in, it
would seem that their backbones
must be made Of rubber.
Professor Mietts dogs are just
about as good canine performers as
have been seen in Topeka and there
dogs perform all Of the regular tricks
done by dogs with great skill and then
they do a number of uncommon tricks
in equally clever fashion. They are
bound to prove big drawing card for
the Majestic.
ceptable acts on the bill One Of them
Is furnished by Tom Heron, 1.-THE
Man With a Crutch." Hefron has
been seen In Topeka before but that
does not prevent his work from be-
ing entertaining. He does lot Of

kicking that are really marvellous
for a one-legged man to accomplish.
Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien put on comedy
talking act and the show is finished
out with Clark and Duncan in a
clever little travesty.
Mr.. Karl Hummel makes his usual
great hit with an illustrated song,
Sweetheart Days" and at the even
ing performances during the week he
will be helped out in the choruses of
the song with a male quartette.
There's something real exciting In the
way Of moving pictures. They depict
sure enough prize fight in which
there is sure enough knockout. And
as a moving picture prize fight is
about the only kind that can be seen
in Kansas there is no doubt that it
will prove popular with those who
are admirers of the manly art.
At the Olympic.
The Mansfield Brothers, who compose
q team of unique sharpshooters, held
the bill at the Olympic for this week.
They are by far the best team Of sharp
shooters seen in Topeka this season and
their work brings out volumes of APP

are of the hair raising variety. One
