discussion among the medical frater-

lowing formula is effective: ITO one
half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce of Toris Compound and one
ounce of Syrup Sarsapari1la Compound.
Take in tablespoonful doses before
each meal and before retiring"
Toris compound is a product of the
laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co, Chicago, but it as well as

Kansas may expect to have almost
100000 to put into a good roads fund
or into tree planting if it should so
desire if congress acts in accordance
with the ruling of the auditor for the
war department. The amount $425,-
O65, is the interest and discount on
money borrowed from Kansas to sup
press Indian raids in the SOS. The
principal has been returned by the
government, but the interest claim
was not allowed. John c. Nicholson
of Newton, state claim agent, came
TO Washington this winter and, with
Senator Long, Senator Curtis and
representative Madison, pressed the
case before the auditor. The secre-
tary of the treasury must now certify
the amount to congress, which will
then make the necessary appropri-
alton.
