GIRLS WANT HUSBANDS.
They Must Be Good Hearted, Kind
and Affecfionate.

Chicago, April 26.-More than one
hundred Chicago girls, pretty, viva
cious and fairly we'll to do. want hus-
bands-that is. if they can find the
right ones. The responses of these
young women, describing their ideal
man, We're read last night at the Hal
sted street Institutional church by the
Rev D. D. Vaughn, during the course
of sermon on 1.-THE Model Husband"
A majority of the young women,
writer's, surprised both the pastor and
audience by stating positively that
they wanted their husband to be the
real boss" They also declared it
was not necessary that he be hand
some, wealthy, talented, or a swell
dresser. But it was insisted in every
case that he be a man who was ca
pable of real love- The world love"
was underscored in most of the let
tiers.
The feminine candidates were prac-
t1cally agreed that their future bet
kind and affectionate. Business or
professional men were not preferred
by most, but "clean, honest men who
make clean money were desired.
Dr. Vaughn secured the opinions of
the young women by sending out a
letter in which he propounded the fol-
lowing questions regarding the model
husband:
First-Do you want him to be the
head of the house?
Second-Do you want him to always
follow your bidding?
Third-Do you want him to give his
| time to succeed in business or to his
home?
Fourth-Do you care whether he
loves you or do you merely want a
! home?
Fifth-Do you prefer business or
a professional MANI
Sixth-Must he be wealthy?
Seventh-Must he be handsome?
Eighth-Must he be a swell dresser
Nfnth-Must he be educated or tall
ented?
Next Sunday night will be devoted
| to the model wife,
The following questions have been
| sent out
First-Must she be pretty?
Second-Must she be a good cook
and a good housekeeper?
Third-Must she be vivacious or
quiet?
Fourth-Must she be stylish?
Fifth-Must she be a society or a
home girl?
sixth-Must she be a college grad
uate?
Seventh-Must she be talented?
Eighth-Do you prefer new wo-
| man" or the old fashioned kind?
Ninth-Must she have a good dis
position?
Tenth-May she be a club woman.
reformer or interested in politics?
E1eventh-Do you want clinging

THE CAUSE OF COLDS
Good Advice Regarding the Proven
ton of Coughs and Colds.

II people would only properly fortify
and strengthen their system, about IS
per cent of coughs colds and pneu-
monia might be avoided. These trou-
pies are simply the result of weakness,
which produces a catarrhal condition
of the mucous membrane, which is as
an Internal skin of the body. When
this skin is weakened, it becomes in
fected with germs which are carried
through the system by the blood. These
parasites attack and break these deli
cate tissues and set up a soreness
which produce what is in reality an ex-
ternal ScrOfula.
The only thing that will cure coughs
and colds and prevent pneumonia is
medication which is absorbed and car
rled by the blood SO that the diseased
membrane is disinfected, cleaned,
soOthed and healed.
We have a remedy which we honest
| ly believe invaluable and indispensable
| for the prevention and cure of coughs,
colds and all catarrhal conditions. 1t
| is the prescription of famous physi-
clan, who has an enviable reputation
of 80 years of cures gained through the
| use of this medicine. We promise to
either effect a cure in every case or
make no charge for the medicine. We
| urge everybody in Topeka who has
need of such medicine to try Rexall
Mucu-Tone.
1t stands to reason that we could not
afford to make such statements and
give our own personal guarantee to this
remedy if we were not absolutely posi-
| tive that we could subStantiate our
claim in every particular. and we see
no reason why anyone should hesitate
to accept our offer and try it. We have
| two sizes Of Rexa1l Mucu-Tone. Prices
| Soc and $1.00. Sometimes a soc. bottle
] is sufficient for cure. AS a general
thing, the most chronic case is cured
| with an average of three large bottles.
Remember, the medicine will cost you
nothing If you are not satisfied IN every
| particular. Fred A. Snow, druggist, 523

this connection Prof. Hunter said:

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE
OF Painting Requirements Will Save
Much Expense.

When n sees the surface Of a
house or other building scaling, or
peeling, or spotted or blistered, or
showing other symptoms of paint dis
ease" 1t is evident that a poor painter
has been on the job, and that poor
paint was used-or possibly that a
good painter had been dominated by
a property-owner who knew nothing
about paint.
1t is an easy matter to be informed
on paint and painting. A complete
painting guide, including a book of
color schemes, either for exterior or
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. for all kinds
of painting,-and an instrument for
detecting adulteration in paint ma
%terial, with directions for using it,
may be had free by writing National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, and asking for House
owners Painting Outfit No. 40.
Then, every houseowner should
make 1t a point to get only we'll
known reliable brands in buying his
materials. Pure white lead is espe-
cially important, or the paint will
not prove satisfactory. The famous
Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of
National Lead Company, the largest
makers of pure white lead, is an abb
solute guarantee of the purity and
quality Of the white lead sold under
It,. That trademark is a safeguard
against paint trouble.

Referred TO Commission.

Jefferson City.-That Gov. HALEY
has not abandoned his fight for the
railroads to continue the 2.cent pas.
senger rate until a decision 10 had
from the United States supreme court
on appeal in the rate cases was evil
denced when he directed the states
experts to lay the figures on the earn
ings Of railroads operating in Mis-
souri, before the interstate
commission at Washington.
T. f. Wharton, one of the states
experts, is here and is getting the fig.
ures in shape, and they will be for
warded to Washington at once. The
governor hopes that the commission
will discover that the methods EN-.
ployed by the railroads in the division
of their interstate and state earnings
and expenditures for operation are not
fair ones and will move against the
railroads for charging excessive rates
in Missouri.
The railroads secured their i%njunc.
ton against the state in the cases by
establishing their claim in the mind
of the court that their state traffic was
not sufficiently profitable to operate
successfully under the 2-cent passen-
ger rate law. In doing this it is con-
tended they added too much profit to
their interstate business, and the rail
roads are confronted with the diem
ma of showing to the commission
when it begins its investigation that
its Interstate rates on passenger and
freight business is not excessive and
therefore Illegal.
h testimony of passenger traffic
officials in the rate cases was to the
effect that it costs much more to do
state than interstate business. In
freight business, some of them claimed
it cost three times as much to do state
as interstate business. The court
scaled down their figures to 20 per
cent more for passenger traffic and
about twice as much for freight. The
division of earnings of railroads into
interstate and state earnings and
costs of operation is an intricate mat
ter, and this was one of the difficult
ties that handicapped the state in the
production of testimony along this
line.
If the Missouri earnings, in proper
ton to the cost of operation, are
deemed too low by the commission,
when compared with states around
Missouri, the railroads are liable to
find themselves in the delicate posi-
ton of defending their figures on Mis-
souri, matters before the commission
or OF defending rates deemed KEGS
sively high in proportion to cost in
other states.

Legislature Out of Rate Affair.

Jefferson City.-A hands off"
policy was agreed upon by the
senate and house committees on rail
roads at the conference Friday on the
rate situation for the state. This
leaves the legislature free to act as
it may deem proper on rate regula.
ton.
The house took this position early
in the morning and the senate agreed
on a similar method after an hours
executive session.
Meanwhile a committee of railroad
men were waiting Tor the decision of
the legislature, many Of the officials
having gone home during the morn
ing.
The senate put it's decision in the
form of a resolution, but the house
came to virtually the same conclusion
| verbally.
The senate resolution reads:
THAT the senate Of Missouri believes
its functions are legislative, and that
it would not be proper to express its
opinion as to the merits of any nego-
tiations now on or hereafter pending
between the executive officers Of this
state and the railroads as an adjust
ment of railroad rates, except when
brought before this body as legislative
matter"
Five senator's voted against the
proposition.
II looks less like an agreement than
at any time in the proceedings. AS a
result of the failure to come TO some
conclusion the legislature probably
will pass the Cross bill, giving a .
cent rate on mileage in 500-mile books.
Thus is the state, in its fight for a
lower rate than 3 cents, which the
railroads are threatening to make eff
fective on April 10.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Major
is maintaining that he a accept
nothing less than the 2-cent fat rate,
The house committee unanimously
decided to stand out against any con
cession to the railroad companies
They believe a rate somewhat better
than 2k cents, with 10 per cent of
for round trips, which was suggested
by Gov. Hadley, can be secured
through legislation.
