NEW PHONE SYSTEM.
Government Putting in an Up to Date
Plant at Fort Riley.

Junction City, Kan. June 6.-Work
has been begun at Fort Riley by the
signal corps on the installation of the
new government telephone system. This
system has been planned for a number
Of years but has never been ordered
put in. However, at the present time
it has been decided to put in the COM
plete system, and make it the most
up-to-date and modern possible. The
work will be done by the signal corps
Of the post service.
In installing this new system a de-
parture will be made from the regular
custom. All the lines will be run
through conduits under ground. Ditch
es are being dug over the grounds of
the post for these conduits, about two
feet in depth. There will be a tele-
phone in every building on the grounds
and in every separate set of quarters.
There win be several hundred tele-
phones in all, and the system will be
entirely separate from the Junction
City system, there being no connec-
ton between the two.

Hot Weather Troubles of
the Over-fat

The worst is that "smothering'' sensa-
ton. This is so suggestive of apoplexy,
last rites and undertakings that it gets
on ones nerves.
When this worriment is added to the
other hot weather troubles of the overfat,
the question of reducing gets some ser
fous consideration. Fat folks begin about
like this: Exercise overtaxes the heart
dieting Especially dieting the nquids) is
inpossible-and the so-called remedies
usually ruin the stomach. To adopt any
one of these would simply add to my
present distress" That is the way most
fat folks reason. Nothing comes Of it.
Still relief from ones excess flesh trou-
bles can be gained only by reducing. But
how?
Well, here is the information desired
and 1t is straight information, too. Do
you want to reduce pound a day-with-
out exercising, dieting. stomach distress,
or the formation Of wrinkles? Nothing
easier, believe 1t or not. Simply ask your
druggist Cor write tho Marmola Co, De-
troit) for q seventy 6ve-cent case OF Mar
mola Prescription Tablets.
He will give you enough tablets. for that
amount to last quite a while. Take them
as he directs daily and you will soon see
the fat begin to slip off. Then continue
until you are as slim as you want to be.
That's all. There is no harm in them
(they are made fdentically in accordance
with the famous Marmola Prescription)
and they cost less by halt than any
other remedy you could -44fs

ter than did the cars thar cost $500
ana even $4,000, our pride ana our
enthusiasm waxed mighty. It was
only delaped twice. first on account of

tenders and muff1er will be replaced
today and the winner of third pface

poses.
The Locomobile, nearly twice as ex-
pensive car as the Smith and with a
much higher rating, although given
second place was a sight to behold
and had the race not have been called
off before the ten laps were completed
the Smith would surely have passed
her, as it was in perfect condition and
able to make another ten laps had the
driver been able to endure it. The
Locomobile was simply burning up
and had to be stopped with increasing
frequency to be cooled off. An addi-
tional evidence of our repeated asser-
ton that the Smith was one of the
easiest cars in the market on tires, we
will say that with the exception of one
defective, the same tires were used
throughout the race and at the finish
showed practically no wear at all,
while the winning car was obliged to
change tires four times.
We feel mighty good over the out
come and the Smith company has
every reason to be proud Of their
splendid product.
With kind personal regards, we are
very truly yours.

The Socialists held a convention in
Topeka not long ago, and voted to cir
culate nomination petitions for a GER

the petitions was Systematically under
taken. 1t was figured that by getting
only IS names, properly distributed,
the party could comply with the law,
which says that the nomination petit
lions must contain at least one per
cent of the total party, vote. The total
party vote was about $500. However,
the Socialists sent their petitions out
from Topeka to the required number
of counties, and secured a total of
about 200 names on each. petition. The
candidates did not have to bother
about the matter at all. The petitions
were prepared, circulated and filed
from the Topeka headquarters.
Each Socialist who was asked to
circulate the petitions was given the
whole list, so that the signatures on
all of the petitions are very much
alike. Each Socialist to whom the
petitions were presented signed 26 diff
ferent petitions.
The persons who have been nomi-
mated by the Socialists are as follows:

again denies that he will be a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination for
governor. Mr. Atwood has done this
before, but Col. William F. Sapp OF
Galena says that Atwood will have to
go on the ticket, nevertheless. Mr..
Atwood says:
II have neither the time to run nor
inclination to seek the office of COVER
nor or any other. Mr.. Ryan or. Mr..
Botkin will make as good a governor
sonal preferences are for Mr.. Ryan,
without, however, any reflection on Mr..
Botkin. Mr.. Ryan is my person friend.
I greatly appreciate the kind thoughts
of those who have insisted upon my
candidacy, but it is impossible.
TT would mean sacrifice that I could
not make, the violation of business en-
gagements that I cannot honorably. dis
regard and I cannot believe that the
party's good requires it."
The Republicans out in Graham
county are said to be circulating
nomination petitions ror Alvin Law
for member of the legislature. Will
liam Wells, former member, has gone
into the state senatorial fight. Alvin
Law is said to be a compromise candi-
date between the Hanna and Null
laney factions. Mr.. Law is a former
member of the legislature and one of
the strongest and most popular men
in the county.
Incidentally. it is learned that Dave
Hanna has about decided not to move
away from Graham county after all.
He has sold his house and expected to
go into the loan business in connec-
ton with a Kansas City concern, but
is said to have changed his plans.
