basin for large lake. Topeka has no
lake worthy of the NAME" said DR..
Harding, "and honestly believe that
II lake was made here along the lines
proposed by Mr.. Roof, that it would
prove one of the best investments this
city ever made. With such body Of
water at the city limits fine houses
would be built here, and summer
hotels. Small steamers could ply on
lake of the depth this one would be.
a park could be built just south Of the
dam and the place would be thronged
with visitors all summer long. 1t would
be grand. And what is more. it would
be practical"
Mr.. Roof has estimated the cost of
the lake to be about $4,000 Superin-
tendent Reinisch declared that the plan
was very practical, and he thoughtfully
added: TT seems to me that the last
ambition of David Overmyer was to
build a dam at this place for a lake. He
was working on the plan and talking
about it up to the time of his DEATH"
Oh the way back to town Mr.. Roof
declared that if he lived long enough
he would see a lake at this place.
There is not the slightest doubt that a
big and deep lake here would be a fine
thing for Topeka. 1t would bring thou
sands of visitors here during the sum-
mer, and would ultimately result in
the east limits of the city being one
of the most popular resorts in the
state. AS Mr.. Roof had said, it would
be hard to find a place for a lake where
nature had done more to make mans
task easier. About the only real work
for the lake would be the building of
the dam. The basin Of the lake has
already been fashioned and the first
rainy spell would furnish all the water
needed,

Utilize Old Santa Fe Lumber Yard.
The next proposed park site visited
was Santa Fe park. This comprises
the track lying east of the Santa Fe
depot and west of Shunganunga
creek and between Sixth and Fourth
streets. It is now occupied by the
Santa Fe for a junk yard and is COW
cred with tracks and old wornout
cars and trucks and old iron. DR..
Harding was very enthusiastic over
the possibilities of making this site
into a very beautiful park. Now
when the stranger alights in Topeka
from the Santa Fe he looks to the
east at a junk yard and wilderness
of broken down box cars and thus
forms his first impression of the city
before coming up town. A beauti-
full park at this place would start all
strangers and visitors up town with
a pleasing and favorable opinion of
the capital city. 1t is understood
that the Santa Fe will sell this tract
at a reasonable price. A park is
needed here worse than any other
place In the city and the site de-
cided upon could not very well lay
better for park purposes.
The next place on the drive was
Kline grove, a tract of twenty acres
located at the eastern limits of Third
street, and lying just east of the
Third Christian church The new

on the East Side.
The East Side Improvement asso-
citation is the name of the new park
organization, and its members have
plans well under way to create a
benefit district of the East Side and
buy the land for three parks. The
total cost of the land for these parks
will be in the neighborhood of $780,
900, and petitions are now being cir
culated which will ask the council to
issue bonds to pay for this land. These
bonds will run ten years and can be
paid for each year by the property
owners in the shape of improvement
taxes. The proposed park district
will embrace all that section of the
city lying east of Kansas avenue and
between First and Twelfth streets.
The cost will be very light for each
individual tax payer. A dozen petit
tons are being circulated and they
are being numerously signed. When
the land is bought the sites will be
turned over to the park board for i'm
provement and maintenance.
G. H. Roof, one of the prive movers
in this East Side park project, drove
superintendent F. F. A. Reinisch and
DR.. Eva Harding Of the board of
park commissioners and a State Jour
nal man out on the East Side Wednes-
day afternoon on a tour of inspection
of the proposed parks in order to get
an OPINION OF their pract1caD1Ilty ana
availa bility for good park sites.
The accompanying illustration will
give the reader a better idea of the
location of these parks than any word
description.
The first place visited was East
Side park. This site lies between
Eighth and Tenth avenues and Bran
ner and Lawrence streets, being just
two blocks in width and depth. One
of the most significant things in
connection with the turning of these
four blocks into a park is the fact
that of the score of buildings located
on this site, all OF them are I'M
slightly. They are an eyesore to the
East Side. The only nice building
on the site is the former Parkdale
school building. The East Side I'm
provement association now occupy
this building as a place of meeting.
In the event that g. park is made of
this place they would keep this
building there and use it as a head

GROWING STRONGER
Apparently, With Advancing Age.

I'm 1896 at the age of SO years, I
collapsed from excessive coffee drink
ing" writes a man in Mo. For four
years I shambled about with the aid
of crutches Or cane, most of the time
unable to dress myself without help.
my feet were greatly swollen, my
right arm was shrunken and twisted
inward, the fingers Of my right hand
were clenched and could not be ex-
tended except with great effort and
pain Nothing seemed to give me
more than temporary relief.
Now, during all this time and for
about 80 years previously, I drank
daily an average of cups of strong
coffee-rarely missing a meal.
my wife at last took my case into
her own hands and bought some Post
UNI. She made it according to diree-
lions and liked it fully as well as the
best high-grade coffee.
Improvement set in at once. In
about 6 months I began to work a
little, and in less than a year 1 was
very much better, improving rapidly
better health than most men of my
er with advancing age.
''I am busy every day at some kind
of work and am able to keep up with
the procession without a cane. The
arm and hand that were once almost
useless, now keep far ahead in rapid
ity of movement and beauty of pen
manship.'
