Board of Control Turns Back SS4.S3O
of Appropriations.

1t was shown by the annual report of
the state auditor printed in the State
journal yesterday that the state board
of control had left over as an unex-
pended balance of the appropriation for
the fiscal year of 1909 an amount of
S31 1882 which money was saved from
the running expenses of the nine state
charitable institutions.
AS an addition to this report. the
board of control has given it out today
that they not only saved this amour:
Of money from the amount appro-
priated by the legislature but they col
lected in fees and on sale products
$50, 666.S6. This makes a total of $S4,
S30.68 handed back to the state treas
urer by the board of control for the last
fiscal year.
Compared with last year the velvet
of the state this year in unexpended
funds amounts to ST, 54S more. In 9TH
er words, the board of control has been
able to save this amount over the
amount spent for the fiscal year 1905
It might be interesting to mention that
$7,579.90 was saved in salaries from the
state hospital at Topeka and IS, 533 46
from the Winfield institution. This was
saved because the buildings were not
finished in time for the additional

EACH IN HIS OWN SPHERE.
This Is Text of Reply of Secretary
JuStis to Kilmasurs King.

Willing to have his say and desist.
Guy T. Justis, genera al secretary OF
the Provident association this morn
ing issued the following statement
with regard to the differences between
himself and Kilmaurs King, humane
officer:
Possibly the discussion between
Mr.. King and myself might develop
into proportions similar to the Stubbs-
Curtis affair, but the question is too
important to let drop without one
more word of explanation of lily stand
il. the matter.
L he occasion for me saying any
thing at all to reporter abot-t the
asked him to make thu correction
which 1 thought in justice to the
Provident association. ought to be
made, refused sayiEg that he knew
nothing about our business and for
me to make it myself if 1 wanted tt
made. I see that he afterwards did
make it but it must have been an af-
terthought.
1T believe in the principles of HUI
name society and think every city the
size of Topeka ought to support such
an organization. I still believe, how
ever, with all due respect to Webster's
dictionary which Mr.. King quotes as
his guide and authority, that the HUI
name society is not organized to give
relief except in cases of inhumane
treatment Oh cnl.uTeu hoI Siiouiu II
do so in Topeka where TIE county
peer fund and the Provident associa-
ton are maintained by the taxpayers
ard the benevolent public for this
very purpose. 1t makes confusion and
inefficient work with every case they
try to handle and always have to
drop because of lack of funds.
I'VE expect in the future as in the
past to report all cases OF inhumane
treatment, whether Of children or
dumb animals, to the Humane society
and only hope that they will report all
cases of restitution that may come to
their notice to the Provsdent associa-
ton where they will receive proper
and efficient care not for ten days only
but as long as relief is needed.
Respectfully,
Guy t. JUSTIS."

NO MORE "wATEREDv OYSTERS
Government Will Follow Kansas Lead
in This Matter

The state board of health has re-
ceived pamphlet from the board of

ture in which campaign against the
adulteration, the unsanitary packing
and the floating of oysters is ad-
vocated.
just two and half years ago DIR.
S. J. Crumbine of the Kansas state
board of health started a like cam
paign in this state which was soon
followed by other states in the Union.
Ever since the Crumbine campaign
the oysters coming to Kansas have
been perfect and the effect has been
noticeable.
1t is estimated by DIR. Crumbine,
in very modest manner, that the
state board of health has saved Kan
sas, $4,000 annually on this oyster
crusade. The oysters that used to
come to Kansas were watered to an
| extent of at least 20 per cent and
sometimes so per cent On the basis
of fifty cents quart and the fact
that the people of Kansas consume
the amount above is quoted. Other
state authorities have stated that DR..
Crumbine is entirely wrong in his fig
ures They say that the board of
health save the citizens 100000 an
nually.
| All of these things go to show that
even the government is gradually fall
| ing into line after the good of the
Kansas laws Kansas has made many
! laws which have been followed as well
| as many that could not be followed
nationally, and it is with satisfaction
| that this government oyster crusade
] is witnessed by the present board.

was surrounded by Il crowd Of admir-
Ing men. women and children who had
heard ensauonal reports concerning
his "cleverness as scholar" Carlyle
seemed to like this hero worship until
these admirers clustered round him
while he was in the midst Of his sen
bath one day. Then he assailed them
in language much more emphatic than
elegant. which soon made them take
to their heels and scamper Off with all

Ant Hills and Flies,

A recent traveller In central Africa
describes an interesting use Of the soil
of ant hills. 1t appears that 1t makes
excellent bricks, of which houses are
built. The natives tread 1t with water
into a doughlike substance. which Is
shaped in rough wooden molds. 1t is
then dried in the sun and afterward
baked In native kilns. The same sub.
stance Is found to make excellent ten
mis- courts. 1t Is mixed with water
into a thick paste. spread on the
ground and smoothed over with the
hands. The same traveller tells us how
the natives In the neighborhOod OF
Lake Nyassa esteem a species Of fly
as an excellent article Of diet. It is
known as the "kungu" and appears to
be peculiar to the lake. At certain sea-
sons Of the year these flies appear In
enormous numbers and are sometimes
blown in myriads over the land. II
