TIE SLEEPING SICKNESS
 WHICH MEANS DEATH

How many readers have heard of this terrible disease? It prevails in that far-away country-Africa-e the Congo district. It is caused sby the bite of the tsetse fly. When it bites a person, the sleeping symptoms begin and finally the sufferer sleeps until death occurs.
 Contrast this with the peaceful, balrny sleep of health Is there any, thing more wearing than to lie awake at night. tossing about, nervous, with cold feet, hot head ard mercy knows what else? Short of letting the tsetse fly bite us we would do almost any thing for relief. How can we p:e- vent it? MT. George Hayes, of Union City, Pa, writes: q had lost my appetite, was all rundown, could not sleep nights I had tried every thing without relief. Vinol was rec commended, and to my surprise, it helped me at once; gave me splendid appetite, and now sleep soundly."

Baseball Today--Maybe-

If the weather man is willing, base ball will be played at School hill park this afternoon, with the Globe Inde- pendents lined up against the Knights of Columbus. For the past several days both teams have been issuing a large line of talk about what they ex- pected to do to the opposing faction when they met to settle the question of supremacy and the game ought to be interesting. The K. C's have not done any heavy work as yet, but they are a likely looking bunch and may make things warm for the so far victorious Independents.

WAR on VICIOUS DRUGS.

One of the activities of the federal
department of state which should he
encouraged in every possible way is lis
plan to secure legislation which, if en-
acted by congress, will place the manu-
facture and interstate traffic In opium,
cocaine and other habit-forming drugs
under the inspection, at least, of the
bureau of internal revenue. It is right
ly believed that from the enforcement
of such legislation by the general gov
eminent the various states of the union
will have available information which
will make it easy for them to admins
ter more successfully their laws
against the indiscriminate sale and use
of such drugs.
Surely is there a no more nefarious
or harmful trade than the traffic in
habit-f forming drugs. Their users are
among the particularly unfortunate
people of the world. Much moral de-
generacy, crime and the most distress
ing sort of poverty can be traced to
these enemies of mankind. Any and all
steps that are possible should be taken
by the federal and state governments
to place these drugs under the ban.
For if they are not easily available to
those who are addicted to them. the
desires for them will be. curbed event :
ually.
There will be those who will dispute
this statement. They will contend that
once a person has become the victim of
a drug-habit, he will always be one or
he will go insane or even die unless he
can get the drugs he desires. AS a
matter of fact this 1e not so. The ex-
perience of jaiiers will furnish the in
formation to the contrary. They Will
state that the most inveterate drug
fiends, after a longer or shorter period
of Imprisonment when they are de-
prived of their favorite drugs, lose their
cravings for them and are not slow to
regain their normal conditions of mind
and body. This is not so in all cases
but it is the rule.
1t will be seen, therefore, that if it
is made well-nigh impossible for in
dividuals to secure such drugs, they
will soon become weaned from the
habits that are dragging them slowly
but surely down to the depths of de-
praVity and misery

pay considerable share of the ex-
penses of their department
The efficiency of a police force is
not marked by the number of arrests
it makes. Rather is it the result of a
police activity which enforces all of
the laws with an energy that keeps
places of evil resort out of business
so that the possibility of persons
violating the laws are reduced to a
minimum, and arrests are, therefore,
few in number. A police force which
works in this wise soon gets a reputa-
ton for efficiency, and it is recognized
first of all by the very persons who
are prone to law-breaking. The
knowledge that they will be brought
up with sharp turn as soon as they
commit an overt act has a deterrent
effect upon their inclinations to do
wrong Then, too, the professional
criminals of the itinerant type pass
by the city which has a police. force
with such a reputation.
From the excellent conditions pre-
vailing in Topeka these days it is no
more than right TO assume that this
city's police force is working along
just such lines. Its officials need not
worry because it is far from
being seIf-supporting. The taxpayers
should not, and probably do not, ex-
pect that their police force should
pay it's way through fines. 1t will be

SHOULD NOT PAY IRIS wAv

Something of a vail of distress has
been going UP of late in local police
circles because that department
stands a poor chance nowadays of
paying it's way" In other words,
regrets are being INDUCED in by the
head officials in it that it is not near
ly as self supporting as it used to be:
that the fines which are assessed
against and collected from the I'M
fortunates who get within its
clutches do not come anywhere near
paying the expenses of the depart
ment. It is stated that the fines
which will be collected during the
summer will not pay more than one
eighth of the salaries and mis-
cellaneous expenses of the depart
ment. The new prohibitory law is
blamed for this, because most of
the income of the city from police
fines in the past has come from
DRINKS The police have hard work
finding any of them since the law
went into effect which prohibited
druggists. as well as other people,
from. selling liquor and beer for any
purpose whatsoever.
Instead of regret over a condition
of affairs where a police force does
not collect fines to, pay the expenses
of its conduct there should be
qualification. It is mistaken idea
for any one to think that a police
force should be self-sustaining in this
manner. In fact. the holding of such
opinions by its officials is almost GER
tain to work out with injustice to
many persons. In their zeal to gather
in rich harvest of fines the police
are apt to make many arrests and
prosecutions which are improper and
for which there is no excuse. This
has not been done to any noticeable
extent in Topeka of late but there is
ever q chance for it if police officials
hold to the idea that they should
make enough money out OF hnes to
