FARMS IN ALASKA.
Prof. Georgeson Predicts Agricultural
Future for the Territory.

Seattle, Oct. 30.-A1aska will be a
land not only of ice fields and noun
tains of. gold but of fair green pas
lures, wheat fields and pleasant gar
dens of fruits and flowers and
vegetables, according to Prof. c. c.
Georgeson, special agent of the de-
partment of agriculture.
Prof. Georgeson has been in charge
of Alaskan Investigations along agri-
cultural lines for eleven years and
his statement is based on his own ex-
periments. He is in Seattle on his
way to Sitka.
''The prospects today for success
full agriculture in Alaska are infinitely
better than they appeared to be IL
years ago, when I began work there"
he said. alaska will some day be-
come the home of prosperous and sue
cessful farmers. but the farmers will
probably come from the Scandinavian
peninsula and from Finland, because
they have been brought up under
similar climatic conditions and have
been reared in many instances under
conditions less favorable to agricul-
ture than Alaska affords.
1.-THE word agriculture is meant to
include the production of anything
useful which comes from the soil,
not only the growing of grain and the
rearing of live stock but also
vegetables, fruits and flowers and
dairying.

PETS FOR THE INSANE.
President of Cat Club Says Animals
Soothe Troubled Minds.

Chicago, Oct 30.-That the care of
animal pets. especially cats, has a
cuieting and beneficial effect on the
insane was the statement made yes
tcrday before the Beresford Cat club
by Mrs. Clinton Locke, president of
that organization and vice president of
The American Cat association.
81 firmly believe that the care of
animals, particularly decorative, lively
pets as cats, will soothe the troubled
minds of the insane" said Mrs. Locke.
For that reason. and because this
pinion is advanced by friends of mine
interested in the care of the insane. I
have sent one of my finest animals. a
beautiful white female. to an asylum
in Pennsylvania where a test is being
made of this use of pet animals and
birds.
Goats are better than dogs. They
will stay at home, and do not need con-
slant watching. They are more useful
and then they are so much quieter."

AVALON SHELL SHADES
For Electric and Gas Lights Are Being
Shown in Topeka.

On the coast of southern California,
there is stretch of sand and rocks
where beautiful sea shells are deposit

is known as Avalon Beach and from
one year to another shell hunters col
lect the freak specimen of shells to be
used in ornamental shades for lights.
The first merchant to show orna-
mental lights using the shells from
Avalon Beach is the H. B. Howard
Supply Co The Tungsten electric bulb
is shielded in the shade composed of
three of the pearly Avalon shells. Three
lights are arranged in a cluster and
suspended from a single chandelier
This light is possibly the most unique
design on the market new. The display

STATE GUARANTY FUND.
Admission of 3e5 Banks Swells Total
to Quarter Million.

There are 365 state banks in Kan
sas which now have the bank
guaranty law, according to state
ment issued by Bank Commissioner j.
N. Dolley. There is deposited in the
state treasury over $25O.OOO in the
Mr.. Dolley's statement in full as
follows:
.'There are s65 banks that have
their bonds. and assessments deposited
with the state treasurer at this date.
There is deposited in the state treas
urv s259,4922O in the bond account
There is deposited in the state treas
ury in the assessm ent account $15,-
S73.0S. The said sum being placed
to the credit of these 365 banks IN
der the guaranty law which permlts
five assessments per annum, there is
available at this time in cash $fs,-
3654O, the payment of which is
guaranteed by bond deposits with the
state treasurer to the amount OF $259,-
4922O as above stated
1.-THE records of the banking depart
ment show that during the last ten
years less than $4,000 per annum
has been lost to deDositorS through
failed state banks. On TINS OASIS
there is at this time enough IN the
assessment fund to pay the average
shown by the records during the past
10 years, and these losses during the
past 10 years comprise all OF, the
banks Of Kansas. which were doupie
the number of banks as are now In
the assessment fund. In other words
the ratio of losses for half OF the
banks would not be nearly $25,OoO
per annum. We have many other
applications for participation under
the guaranty law but they have not
as vet been examined and accepted
lone of the very strongest features
of the Kansas guaranty law is the
wise provision for much more money
than past history shows Will be
needed. This is as it should be. The

ODDS ON JOHNSON.
Cleveland Mayoralty Campaign Has
Reached Apathetic Stage.

Cleveland, O., Oct. 30.-Comparative
apathy has characterized the municipal
campaign which will draw to a close
tonight. Mayor Tom L. Johnson is the
Democratic candidate to succeed him
self for fifth consecutive term. He
is opposed by County Recorder Herman
c. Baehr, the Republican candidate.
There also is a Socialist candidate.
There is more or less of haze about
the issues. Mayor Johnson insisted
that the street railway question was
settled. Mr.. Baehr maintained that it
was not Practically every point in TIE
street railway situation which has been
an issue for nine years is in the hands
of an arbitrator, Federal Judge r. w
Tayler, who is officially binding the
city and the car company to things
they have already agreed to. There
will be three-cent fare to begin with.
In the betting on the election Baehr
was favorite at the outset. Later it be-
came an even bet. Now there are slight
odds on johnson.

Charcoal Lozenges
Powerful Absorbents
Offensive Breath and Stomach Gases
Cannot Exist When They Are Used.

Charcoal, by virtue of it's porous
nature, takes up gases mechanically
Just as a sponge takes up water. Its
capacity in this respect is in proper
ton to the number and fineness of it's
pores. Charcoal made from poplar,
beechWood, vegetable ivory, cocoa-nut
shells and willow-wood, is a compact,
heavy substance, having metallic
luster, the pores being quite invisible.
Chemical tests of various kinds per-
formed by expert chemists have re-
vealed the fact that charcoal made
from willow wood, is not only abso-
lutely harmless, but that it is by far
the most powerful absorbent of all
kinds of gases. Certain other woods,
mentioned above, are used by some
manufacturers in making charcoal,
and besides not being half as effective
in absorbing stomach gases, have al
so been found to be positively harmful
to the digestive system.
WilloW-wood charcoal is, then, the
very best for the purpose of absorb
ing excessive gas of the stomach, re-
moving intestinal flatus, and purifying
foul breath. Charcoal to be effective
against gastric, fiatulence must be in
trOduced among the gases of the Stom-
ach in the same state as when fresh
from the crucible. The means of eff
fecting this is to compress them into
soluble lozenges, so that after being
dissolved in the mouth and swallowed,
the CAldTCOdl Is SET Tree, anu at once
begins it's work of oxidizing and alb
sorbing foul gases, and also, through
It's antiseptic properties, of purifying
the entire alimentary tract.
1t is definitely known that the alb
sorbent and cleansing action of char
coal is protracted and continued
through the intestinal system as well
as in the stomach, and it proves be-
neficial there also.
In STUART'S CHARCOAL LOZ-
ENGES we have a gas-absorbing rem
edy which readily takes precedence
over all others. The charcoal used in
them is the very best that can be OBJ
tanned. They are composed of the fin
est young willow-wood, converted in
to charcoal by the special, carbonizing
Stuart Process, and before being COM
pressed into Lozenges, the powdered
charcoal is rendered sweet and thor
oughly agreeable to the taste by being
is product equally as palatable as
candy.
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges have at
tanned a wide popularity among the
people, millions of boxes being sold
every year. They have, over and over
again proven their efficiency as rapid
and powerful absorbents of foul stom-
ach-gases, relieving and curing fiatu-
lence, belching. or the eructation of
gases. and finally in the publication of
offensive breath.

enges from your druggist for rs cents

WAR BREAKS OUT.
Salvador Becomes Involved With Ze-
1aya's Government.

ST. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 30.-A cable
gram to the Globe Democrat from
Panama says:
Passengers arriving today from
Pacific coast points north of here re-
port that war has broken out between
Salvador and the Zelaya government
of Nicaragua. President Figuerca of
Salvador has issued an order mobiliz-
ing the Salvadorean army for the pur-
pose of repelling the invasion of Mic
araguan and Salvadorean exiles I'M
der the command of General Alfaro,
and with the view of aiding the Mic
araguan revolutionists in their fight
against Zelaya.
Salvadorean gunboats have been or
dered to patrol the coast of Nicaragua.
The Guatema1an government is max
ing warlike preparations, and Presi-
dent Cabrera is expected to join forces
with Salvador and the Nicaraguan in
surgents and assist them in crushing
the power of Zelaya.

TO INVADE THE HOMES.
Washington Police Will Photograph
the Poor in Their Beds.

Washington, Oct 3O.=An invasion
of the homes of the poor at night
when the inmates shall have retired. is
said to be one of the newest moves
designed for the religious, moral and
.anitary uplift of the national capital.
Nocturnal descents upon such homes
are to be made, it is said, by Rev.
Seed M. Copp, probation officer of the
District of Columbia. members of the
rOlice force and a, health officer.
Armed with f1ashlight camera the
probation officer, it is said, will secure
Photographic evidence of the condi-
lions that prevail when the mantle of
night has fallen upon homes. He will
have informed himself previously as
to the relationship and degrees of con-
sanguinity existing in the homes he will
select for his visits. Homes of whites
as well as those of negroes will, it is
said, be entered.
Upon these tours, it is even said
newspaper men will be taken. The
purpose apparently is to inform the
public of such conditions as may be
found to exist. Reports also will be
made to the judge of the juvenile
court.
The probation oacer is quoted as
follows regarding his proposed expedi-
tons:
This particular phase of the life of
the poor has been SO far overlooked
l.y the juvenile court. I don't believe
that as a general thing we will find
conditions very bad, but am confident
what we do discover will prove a valu-
able enlightenment to the general
public. Little thought is given at the
present time to the immortality engen-
7ered by insufficient or badly arranged
s'eeping quarters.
at do not think the manner in which
we approach them will be in any way
offensive. Our trip, while it may seem
bit unethical, is distinctly for the
common good"
