Strange idiosyncrasies and
opinions of some y-haired
people and those affected
with scalp and hair trouble.

New York City sends out more
statesmen, twice over, in all probab-
ility, than any other city in the world.
At an annual banquet given by a big
firm to its statesmen there were pres
ent some two hundred gray-haired
and bald-headed statesmen. 1t was a.
subject of mournful discussion among
them that the firm was commencing
to prefer younger men. One old pat
riarch, grown gray in the service, re-
marked to several gathered around
him: Here ] am doing as good if
not better work than 1 ever did in INV
life; yet, because 1 am commencing to
show my age, am slated for the has
beck division. 1 wish knew of some
thing that would turn my hair to the

VIII Decide What to Do About In
specfing Hotels.

The state board of health is hold
ing it's quarterly meeting at the state
house this afternoon and will continue
the sessions until tomorrow. The
board has number of important
matters up for consideration at this
meeting, among them the act for the
inspection of hotels passed by the last
legislature which gives the board adj
ditionaI powers as regards sanitation
and cleanliness. The board will also
select an additional food and drug
inspector from the six successful APP
plicants who passed the civil service
examination last week for the places.
]. F. Tilford of Olathe, the only
drug Inspector now at the disposal of
the board, came in to attend the
meeting. Mr.. Tilford has held his
present place for two years and has
been on the go all the time. He has
the entire state for his territory and
during his two years of service has
covered his territory just once, which
emphasizes the need of an additional
drug inspector He has visited every
town in the state of Kansas in the per-
formance of his duty and has inspect
ed about eighteen hundred drug
stores.

all of the paving he would have none.
This made it necessary for the COM
mittee to decide that it was either up
to Richie or Gilmore, because if part
Of the contract was given to one the
other would not work on any of it.
The third bidder, Ramsey, was so
high above these two that it was USE
less to consider him in the game.
Therefore it was necessary for the
committee in conference with the city
engineer and the mayor to figure out
the square yards, 1ineal feet, ETC., of
every bit of the paving, gutter rolling,
grading, etc. This was a mammoth
task. 1t resulted that Richie received
the contract bidding just $300 less
than Gilmore. Gilmore was $500 less
than Ritchie on the guttering, ETC.,
and Richie was 5000 less than Gill
more on the paving. This made the
difference. 1t developed that, at the
present writing there will be 3,077
square yards of alley paving of the
No. quality, 1916 square yards of
street paving of the No. class. 1O,964
of the No. 2 and 1881 Of the No. 1.
But the No. 1 petitions are coming in
all the time-thus making the No. 2
figures dwindle to a small figure.
Mayor Green has received a letter
from the National Peace Congress of
Chicago which will be held from May
to May 5, appointing him an hon
orary member of the congress. This
is an honor only bestowed upon men
of high position and influence.

DOWNS WILL GO.
Smooths Out Differences With Min
neapolis Management.

Jerome Downs, or RED as he is
better known to the Topeka baseball
public will leave Topeka tonight with
the Washington team for Omaha, and
from there will go to Des Moines to-
morrow night to join, the Minneapolis
team with which he will play during
the coming season.
Just what Red would do during the
coming season has been a perplexing
problem to all the fans and more es-
pecially to Red himself. Last fall it
was known that he would not be with
Detroit again this season. Detroit tried
to work trade by which Red would
go to Newark in the Eastern league,
but Manager Jennings was unable to
secure waivers on the former Topekan.
At the annual meeting of the Amer
lean league which was held in Chicago
in early February, the sale of Red to
the Chicago White SoX was negotiated
On the last day of February Red re-
ceived contract from Comiskey
which was satisfactory in every way
and he promptly signed it and return
ed it to Chicago.
Chicago decided to farm Red to the
Minneapolis team in the American
association. A few days later Mike
Cantillon, manager of the MINNEAPOLIS
team forwarded another contract to
Red which called for $500 less than
his Chicago contract. 1t is gener-
ally understood in baseball that when
one club loans player to another
club the club which uses the player
shall live up to the contract with the
club owning the player. Red did not
like the cut and consequently sent his
contract back to Cantillon unsigned.
And this was Reds status until this
morning when everything was smooth
ed over.

although it is unlikely that either will

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
Bad Stomach Causes Unsiehtly Com plexions-lovett Drug Go.

Bad stomachs mean bad blood; bad blood means sallow, unattractive skin.
 Why? The stomach in a healthy condition separates the nutritious matter from the food and gives it to the blood to supply the entire body with nOurishment
 If the stomach is not in a healthy condition it does not separate from the food the nutritious matter and it passes off with the waste.
 Thus the blood is impoverished and has not sufficient nourishment to sup ply the muscles. skin and body gen erally.
 If you have belching of gas, dis tress after eating, nausea. biliousness. nervousness or foul breath, then your stomach is wrong and you want the best prescription for stomach troubles the world has ever known.

CHILDHOOD AND NATURE.

Childhood easily blends with na- ture. not for a study of it. but meet ing it on genial terms. A gracious culture comes spontaneously of free and open companionship with natu- ral things. and especially with liv- ing things. Grace is the child's na- tive virtue, seeming at first like that of animals. but, in suspicious hu- man comradeship, quickly translated into a spiritual charm. The child's word is, and should be. one of i'm pressions. These are vivid and in
 delible. The child readily, avidly. gives attention to outward things, to the concrete presentment; only the abstract concept baffles it. What ever takes a dramatic form arrests and holds it-all the more if the play has rhythmic allurement. Hence it leans tO rite and convention, which. whether we approve or not. we may be glad that it follows. Let it be

chief work will be in arranging lec- lures before organizations willing to be instructed on the subject. The work will be chiefly for the benefit of women. We wcmen of the Amer ican Medical association" said Dr. Hamilton, have been delegated by the association to go among our own sex and instruct mothers and girls in simple truths of preventive medicine. This really will be a multiplied bless inS, for mothers will carry the knuwl- edge to their children. The work also will prove of great benefit to the next generation. as often pre- ventive treatment for a young child means all the difference between a lifetime of illness and a lifetime of health" Already many women's clubs have requested that lecturers be sent to them. and Dr. Hamilton believes the work eventually will be spread to embrace the entire coun- try.-New York Press

FRISCO ID PHOENIX
 IN AN AUTOMOBILE
Pleasure Excursion of Father and Son
 With Baby Rec.

A D. Hayden and his 11-yeIr-oil son. Lester. arrived here Wednesday night having made the trip from San Francisco to Phoenix in eighteen days in a single barreled" ten-horse power automobile, and that after rest ing a couple of days at Agua Cali ente. waiting for more fuel. MT. Hayden's home is in Dallas, Tex, but he has been living in San Francisco for the last three years. When he got ready to go home he found him. self with the machine on hand and decided that he would travel back across country for the novelty of it, going as far as he liked and shipping the machine the rest of the way. He has grown a bit weary of the desert and will ship the machine tonight to Dallas.
 But the trip has been a delightful one and he is glad he made it. He had no bad luck except one incident above Fresno, where the auto came suddenly around a curve and skidded in the sand, off a little bridge over an irrigataing ditch on the Miller & Lux ranch. The boy was driving at the time. but it was no fault of either the driver or the machine. It was only a bad place in the road that they did not know about and that is to be remedied- The ranch people told him they had to pull somebody out of the ditch every few days at that point. The only damage the machine suffered was the Tpringing of an axle and the slight bending in of the front The latter remains as then, needing no repairs, but looking a little bruised. while the axle was straight ened at a country blacksmith shop nearby and the journey proceeded with after a very short delay.
 The machine is a Baby Rec, a one cylinder ten-horse power construction,
Arizona republican., 1909-10-01

and was seen by many yesterday at the Ceilings agency. Though a small
 one, the Haydens carried their blank cts along and a small supply of provisions so they could camp out when necessary or preferable. but usually they reached a hotel at night fall The trip was just jaunt; it was not undertaken on any wager or for any prize or against time.
 It will be of interest to local au- tOmobilists to know that from Los Angeles to Yuma the Haydens fol- lowed the railroad track. The route has been discussed more or less with the view of having it fixed up for general automobile thoroughfare. Most of the drivers have contended that it was not a desirable route. Its most appealing advantage is that it is so near the railroad that one could get assistance from passing trains if out of water, or other need fuls in case of an emergency that might prove very disagreeable if not dangerous to life in case of a break down miles away from anywhere on a desert road. Another recommenda-
 tion of the road is that a stranger could not get lost. All he would have to do would be to follow the track.
 Mir. Hayden says his machine made the trip nicely but the conditions were more than usually favorable Owing to recent track troubles, wash outs, etc, the railroad is doing l2ts of work along the line there ;Ad gangs of men with plenty of water were encountered every few miles. The road has had no working and is therefore not in the best of condition, nevertheless his little ma chine went over it nicely. It is true there are many places where the sand is deep, but his little wagon covered them nicely. They might have stalled a heavy machine, but he says there is no place that there is not a good supply of gravel within a reasonable distance and he believes the expense of graveling the sandy places to make a good road for almost any machine would not be great. As for water. whatever places might be nee essary could certainly be provided more easily than on the big desert to the west Without a little work and expense it is quite like the desert road the drivers have been using is the best, but he believes the track road could be made into a still better one. He only gives the information for what it may be worth, as he is
Arizona republican., 1909-10-01

in no way interested in any road having got himself through without one.
 From Yuma his route was via Castle Dome to the North Star mines, and thence to Midway Wells. From that point he cut across the country to Palomas, saving several miles, and then to Agua Caliente
 At Agua Caliente he ran out of gasoline and sent to the nearest sup ply point for a five gallon can, as there was none in Agua CaIiente. After waiting two days it did not arrive and he got tired and came on without it. How he got along with out it may be an old story to the wise chauffeur. but it is repeated for the benefit of some who may not know and who, when caught in a similar predicament, would like to know. He got a five gallon can of coal oil and half a gallon of ben zine that someone at the springs fortunately had, and mixed them. The concoction, he said, made a very de- cent grade of gasoline The mixture did not feed very well and required frequent priming, but it did well enough. so he did not bother to re- adjust the machinery.
 In this connection MT. Hayden makes another suggestion which is that an eighth of a pint of alcohol in a five-gallon can of coal oil will make a 55-proOf gasoline that will work very satisfactorily in an emer- gency. It is not as good as gasoline. but it is better than hanging up on the desert. Wood alcohol, he says, is preferable, but any alcohol will do He says that every chauffeur should put small bottle of alcohol in his tool box and forget about it until he meets an emergency. when it may save him lot of trouble, for one can get coal oil almost anywhere.
 From Agua Caliente the Haydens went to Woolsey tank, where they rested the next night, and logged into Phoenix Wednesday. evening. Their experience teaches them that had they been well supplied with fuel, and had there been any reason for it, they could have made the trip between Frisco and Phoenix in two, weeks very nicely, and that with a Baby Rec.
