Have the Thirsty Eat the Wrapper.

Officer Coyne does not wish to impose
any hardship upon anybody, but he in
sists that hereafter these drinkers in
the byways and alleys shall first swal-
low the paper wrappings around their
bottle and then wash the paper down
with the beer-a meal and drink at
the same time and for same price, and
the law in the shape of sanitary OFF,
Ger satisfied in the bargain. Mr. Coyne
did not give out any specifications of
the material that a bottle of beer be
wrapped in hereafter. whether it must
be in tissue paper, ordinary manila
wrapping or silk. but he has issued a
decree, backed by emphatic declara-
tions, that the question of using
whole newspaper around one lonesome
bottle of beer must cease in the city
of Torelza.
For the dispensers and consumers of
beer there is doubtless a haven some
where in this weary world. but it is
not in Topeka. The raids of the po-
lice, the manifestos of prosecutors and
the cog wheels of the courts. these were
had enough. but the traffic has flourish
ed here in spite of all of them. Now

How the Alleys Are Uttered Up.

Officer Coyne declares that the habit
of drug stores in wrapping UP bottles
of beer in full sheet newspapers and
selling of the same to thirsty custom
ers must cease. The purchasers of the
nut brown brew carry their prizes to
the alleys behind the stores and remove
the wrappings and drink the beer on
the spot. Result The alleys to the
east and to the west of Kansas avenue
are becoming clogged with newspapers,
traffic is at a standstill and the sani-
tary officer is overwhelmed with the
task of removing all this paper.
According to Mr.. Coyne the product
of 80 paper mills is found by him every
day in the alleys'of this city of prohi-
bition and blue laws, and General
Jackson, and Governor Hoch, and
County Attorney Schenck, and Mayor
Eaton and City Attorney Dreaming.
'Tis impossible, but true. And every
half pound of paper represents a bot
tie of beer consumed y some disciple
of Bacchus. The sanitary officer has
not gone very deeply into the matter
of figures on this proposition but at the
rate of 1000 bottles of beer to the ton
of paper this would show an average
consumption of beer in Topeka daily of
something less than 100000 bottles.

TAX ON MASONS.
Question Whether Property of the
Order Is Exempt Submitted.

Judge Dana, of the district court, has
taken under advisement, the suit
brought by Henry F. Mason. grand
master A. F. and A. NJ. against the
state tax commission and the county
clerk of Shawnee county. This suit
was for the purpose of restraining the
defendants from including property of
the Masonic lodges in the 1908 tax as
eessments. The petition was filed when
the assessments were first made. dur
tng the spring. The state tax commits
sion ordered the county clerk to in
ciude property of sthe Masonic and
other secret orders in the tax list. JUS
tice Mason, as grand master. brought
suit to restrain the officers, on the
grounds that the property in question
was used for charitable institutions,
and nontaxable under the law.
The property under controversy in
Shawnee county. is as follows: Lots 122.

The same kind of a case is before
the Sedgwick county district court. the
state Masonic home is located at Wich-
tia. and was assessed by the county
authorities under instructions from the
state tax commission A suit exactly
like the Shawnee county suit was
brought in that court.
This is the first year that an attempt
has been made by the state commits
sion or the local officials to tax Ma
sonic personal property.
In the hearing before Judge Dana
Tuesday. Justice Mason. grand master.
and A K. Wilson, grand secretary OF
the order. made the point that the
funds of the Masonic order were never
used for investment for gain. but ex-
clusively for charitable purposes. They
testified that while the Masonic order
had 1896 lodges in Kansas, and In many
instances owned the buildings wherein
the lodges were located. 1t held no 9TH
er property. outside of it's regular char
liable institutions, and conducted no
business or enterprise for the purpose
of gain. 1t was also shown, that While
the Masonic order was secret society,
persons other than members were ire

sums of money frequently being ex-
pended for general charities, regard

TOrturing Animals
To Assist Science
Is A Cruel Method to Follow. But
Has Saved Many Human Lives.

Prof. Pawlow, of Russia, was en-
gagged for many years in experimental
work. trying to learn the workings of
digestion, especially the digestive
glands.
He, with able assistants, operated
upon dogs, cats, guinea pigs and other
animals.
His methods were seemingly painful.
but he gave to science a work which
won the Nobel prize and made for him
an undying fame.
Science penetrated the secrets of ma
ture. Prof. Pawlow saw animals di-
gest food. He analysed juices from ev-
cry part of the digestive canal and
stomach under all conditions of diges-
ton. He spent years of ceaseless study
amid the bowling and dying beasts. but
he won, and science today looks upon
him as a great man.
ITO do a great right do a little
wrong" Shakespeare said. and Prof
Pawlow obeyed this trite saying.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pre-
pared by the most scientific process.
They are produced by modern appli-
ances, and meet the demand of goth
century chemistry.
They give man the means to correct
his infirmities of stomach and digestive
organs.
They enrich the blood. give nature
the juices and fluids she lacks. stop
the formation of noXious gases and the
fermentation of food. They neutralize
powerful acids and alkalies, which irri-
tate and devour the stomach. They
prevent and relieve bowel and intesti-
nal trouble and soothe the nerves.
They should be used after every
meal whether one has dyspepsia and
stomach trouble or the stomach be nat
urally healthy. BY their use one may
eat at all hours and whatever one de-
