AduIterated Foodstuffs.

The chemist in charge of the labora-
tory Of the department of agriculture
at Chicago has been paying careful
attention to the purity of foods. Re-
Gently he made statement that one
great spice company annually ground
up 600 tons of cocoanut shells and fla
yored the same with essential oils and
then sold the powdered stuff for pure
spices. He related about another con-
Germ which sold 100000 worth OF
spices annually, only five per cent. of
which were pure. The common arti-
Giles used for adulteration of spices
are sawdust. brick dust burnt grains,
cocoanut shells and other Kinds of
shells and barks. 1t is the aim of the
United States government to put an
end to this adulteration of foods.
Since the government has become
active in tracing down such frauds a
number of INSCRIPTIONS grocery
houses have been compelled to go out
OF business.

farmers EDUCATIONAL
AND
COOPERATIVE UNION
or AMERICA -
or AMERICA

Some foolish people have pretended
to understand by the advice to diver
sify that some one advocated the
abandonment of time-tried and SER
vice-tested crops. Nothing could be
further from the truth. Diversification
means the diyersifcation of crops to
the end that everything that farmer
uses should, if practicable, be raised
at home, and that his surplus crops
should be of the sort that will make
him the greatest amount of money
possible at the least possible cost.
That is common sense. II the Unions
do their duty, they will help the farm
ers in method of cooperation to the
end that this very thing will be done.
The one-crop idea has long since prov
en- failure? In the days of slave la
Dor, it was all right, because such a
plan required little thought, and little
care needed be used to make slave la
Dor profitable, but that was another
day. and another sort of times.

KANSAS TO TAKE A HAND.
Doesn't Want the Old Parity Grain
Rates Restored.

The state board of railroad commits
sioners has decided to take a hand in
a case filed before the interstate COM
merce commission by the two Kansas
Citys to bring about a restoration of
the old parity on gulf rates from the
Kansas wheat belt.
Not long ago the interstate COM
merce commission ruled that railroads
must not charge as much to haul
grain to the gulf by way of Kansas
City as they would to haul it direct
southwark through Wichita and Okla
homa. SO they ordered a reduction ON
the through rate from Kansas to the
gulf. The result has been that much
grain has been moving direct to the
gulf, and Kansas City has been losing
a lot of business Handling the said
grain.
However, the Kansas railroad COM
mission does not want the old rates
restored, and have ordered G. F. Graf
tan, attorney for the board to inter-
vene in the case and defeat, if pos
'sible, the desire of the two Kansas
Citys to restore the old parity
wichita is of course interested in re-
tanning present condition, and A. E.
Helm has been retained as attorney for
Wichita in the case. 1t is a good thing
for the Kansas grain shippers to have
the present condition continued, but it
hurts the Kansas City grain business.
Kansas City has been in the habit of
taking toll'' from all the grain ship
ped out of Kansas.

OVER 200 MILLION.
Valuation of Railroads Under the New
Tax Law,

One of the state house officials said
today:
1T is my guess that the railroad
assessment will be fixed by the tax
commission at not less than $23O,OOo,-
OOO- 1t may run as high as 100000
600. I base this opinion on the fact
that the general run of property IN the
state will be increased about five or
six times in value, and think that the
tax commission will not increase the
railroads less than four times over last
years assessed value
Another state house official made his
estimate $3.50, 100000. That would be
an increase Of about !. times the last
years assessed valuation.
Last year the total value of all
property in the state was fixed at
$436, 500, 1000, of which $70,O00,0OO was
railroad property. This year it is esti-
mated that the total value of all prop
erty will be from 2 " to 3 billions. If
would bring the total to 9,0O0,-
900. This. will probably be about the
total If railroad valuations should be
increased in this same ratio. it would
make them assessed at $420,000,00O.
But the general belief is that railroads
have been assessed in past years near
er to their true value than has other
property. If other property mas peen
assessed at one-sixth of its true value.
railroads have probably been assessed
at one-fourth. On this basis it would
bring the railroad valuation this year
up to $2s0,000.O00.
The railroads themselves have this
year turned in their own property as
worth about 100000. The tax
commission is likely to add at least a
hundred millions to this figure.

TOOK OUT HER WINDPIPE
Negro Woman Recovering From a
Remarkable Operation.

Just because your windpipe has been
cut in two by some sharp instrument
need not cause you to worry or think
about making your will. Mrs. Frank
Austin, a negro woman, is at Christ
hospital sitting up in a chair and feel
ing pretty well. yet she had an opera
ton performed a couple of weeks ago
in which a section of her windpipe
three inches long was removed. She
breatheS through this aperture by
means of little glass tube. instead of
using her nose or mouth. She can only
speak in whisper, but the surgeons
hope to remedy that by means of a
little rubber speaking box with
which they will replace the glass tube.
There was cancerous growth in this
woman's windpipe, which would have
soon choked her to death, but for this
wonderful operation. The windpipe
was cut at point just above and just
below the place popularity called the
Adams apple This successful re-
moval of the larynx is one of the mir
acles Of modern surgery.

Sealey L. Brown, gas inspector of
Montgomery county, Kansas, came
over to Topeka and is here from Kan

were 3S5 delegates present at the
meeting of the gas producers and
they came from the fields of Kansas,
Oklahoma, West Virginia, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Indiana.
Mr. Brown is the only official coun-
ty gas inspector in the western gas
field. His duties are to prevent the
waste of the gas or injury to the wells
by taking over so per cent of their
natural flow into a pipe line. He also
makes out a detailed report of the

JOSEPH SHEA is DROPPED.
More RetrencEment by Rock Island Is
Announced Today.

That the Rock Island road has not
yet completed its policy of retrench-
ment is shown by the fact that Joseph
Shea. who has been superintendent of
the water service department for the
Rock Island for the past five years,
was relieved of further duty. Mr.. Shea
had jurisdiction over the southwestern,
Choctaw and southern districts of the
Rock Island.
With the abolition of this office
comes the letting out of employees Of
the engineering department who sur
v1ved reduction a couple of months
ago. These reductions in force take
effect Saturday night. Those who lose
out under the present reduction orders
are: M. R. McKeefe, assistant en-
gineer of the Kansas division; w. T.
Taylor, and L. R. Cole, assistant en-
gineers. The officials of the same
standing at Trenton, Mo-, and Armour
dale, Kan, are also let ou-.
This same reduction extends over
the entire system and it is estimated
that it will affect at least forty en-
cheering officials. The circulars
which announce the reduction read
until July 1, but it is not known def
nitely that there will be any increase
in the reduced forces at that time.

force comprised twenty men Today

Kansas City now get their gas from
this field and the inspectors work OF
prolonging the life of this field will
be of interest Mr.. Brown has brought
and won many suits in the Montgom-
cry county district court against gas
producers who have violated the law
by either wasting the gas or drawing
the life out of their wells.
In speaking of the new pumping
plant now being built by the Kansas
Natural at Graham Corners, a point
located about the center of Montgom-
cry county. Mr. Brown. who visited
the place last week, said that this
plant is located in the midst of the
richest gas field in the world. He
tested thirteen, wells in the vicinity
Of this plant last month and found
that their combined flow totaled 1856
million feet of gas per day, and these
wells were all located on one section
Of land. South Of the plant lies the
Deering field where the gas company
has wells aggregating flow of over
200 million feet per day. The Kansas
Natural is making an investment of
s1,5oo.ooo on this pumping plant
alone, just for the purpose of furnish
ing gas to the Topeka and Kansas
City pipe line. 1t will be the largest
pumping plant in the world, as it's
engines will develop over 5000 horse
power. Fifty teams are now at work
on the site for this plant and a small
army of men are camped there. The
gas company is building a big hotel
at this place for it's employees.
An idea Of the pressure of these
big gas wells in the vicinity of the
new pumping plant may be gained
from the statement that the gas COM
pany has furnished gas for Joplin,
Mo-, and Wichita depending entirely
on the natural pressure of the gas
to carry itself through the line to
these cities. The Topeka line has
small wells in the northern part of
the field, but is now connected with
the monster wells in the Montgomery
county field. A great many of these
wells have each flow of over 20
million feet per day and the majority
of them average close to ten million
feet. With all this gas at hand and
the aid of this pumping plant there
should be no excuse for not furnish
ing plenty of gas for Topeka next
winter.
Mr.. Brown has had charge of the
Montgomery county field for the past
three years, and he is optimistic as
regards the life of the field "The
field is still increasing in the total
volume of its gas he said today, I'm
stead of decreasing. Not nearly all
the good gas territory has been drill
ed or developed. When first tested
the field three years ago there was
not a billion feet per day flow in the
half per day and 1 look for a greater
total next year. The gas company evil
IDENTIFY have every confidence in the
long life of the field or they would
not invest a million and a half in
this pumping plant alone"
