KANSAS TOP les
Two Youths Meet Death.

Abilene.-The bodies of two young
men, apparently about eighteen years
of age, were found near the crossing

northern part of Marion county. The
bodies Of both were badly mangled

Several other Kansas City addresses
are also in the book. Further than
this there were no marks of identifi-

were killed but who claims he knows
nothing about how they met their
death.

CAN'T SNAG FISH WITH POLES.
Game Law Protects Finny Tribe From
This Mode of Capture.

Emporia-State Deputy Fish and
Game Warden Dan MCGOWAN was
looking things over on the Cotton
wood, and near Soden's bridge found
a number of fishermen who were u.s.
ing snag poles to get fish.
These poles consist of heavy tim
Der on which a line with number
of hooks is fastened. The hooks are
dragged through the water to snag
fish. Deputy MCGOWAN informed the
men that they were breaking the law,
and they said if they were they
would quit.
Warden MCGOWAN consulted a
number of lawyers and they agreed
with him that they thought the law
covered snag poles. Accordingly,
Deputy MCGOWAN is going after any
fishermen he finds who insist on US
ing these instruments.

HOME TESTING
A Sure and Easy Test on Coffee.

To decide the all important ques-
tion of coffee, whether or not it is
really the hidden cause of physical
ails and approaching fixed diseases,
one should make test of ten days by
leaving off coffee entirely and using
well-made Postum.
If relief follows you Eldy know to
a certainty that coffee has been
your vicious enemy. OF course you
can take it back to your heart again,
if you like to keep sick.

like a different person. The headache
and nervousness disappeared and

81 had been using Postum three

Teachers in Riley County.

Manhattan.-The results of the
county teachers examinations showed
II successful applicants for certifi-
Gates out of a total of 81. OF these,
for were professional certificates, five
first grade, and thirty-one each of sec

age was "a 5-14 per cent, made by
Frank A. Rahe. Miss Anna Pickett
made the second best grade or

With the seventeen certificates
now in force in addition to the II
inst issued it is not believed that there
will be a dearth of teachers in Riley
county this fall unless a larger per
cent than usual should go out OF the

Foul Breath
Made Pure and Sweet by the Use of
Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges
Trial Package Sent Free

Do not go among your friends with

presence distasteful. Foul breath is

take a little time to overcome it. Gen
orally foul breath comes from one OF
two causes, impure gases or foul di-
geStive fluids.
of foul gases known. 1t positively at
tracts poisons and neutralizes their evil
effects.
A noted French physician swallowed
strychnine enough to kill three men
and with a teaspoonful of charcoal re-
moved the bad effects of this terribly
swift poison.
A little charcoal in a bedroom OF
cellar will make foul air pure. Pure
willow charcoal mixed with honey are
the component parts of Stuart's Char
coal Lozenges and pure breath is the
result of their use after meals. Simply
dissolve two or three after meals and
at bedtime and foul breath fees at
once. No matter how you cause these
gases, whether by bad food, alcohol or
abuse Of the stomach, Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenges will stop gas making and
sweeten the breath.
They are perfectly harmless and the
eating of a box would cause you no
inconvenience whatever.
Charcoal is hard to prepare for the
stomach because it must be strong and
pure and most people will not take it
unless made palatable. Stuart's mimi
table process presents charcoal to the
taste and system in all the nicely de-
sired.
Choice virgin willow is burnt into
desirable charcoal; this is mixed with
pure honey and the combination is COM
pressed under tremendous power into a
lozenge of great pleasantness and eff
ficiency.
Don't let your bad breath make peo-
pie cross the street to avoid you; go
to the nearest drug store and buy q
box of Stuarts Charcoal Lozenges to-
day and eat what you will. Two or
three after the meal will sweeten your
breath at once. If you want proof of
this fact send us your name and ad-
dress and we will send you a trial

Some time ago a law was passed
establishing chair of music at the

has been making an effort to discover
why this law has been honored, so far,
in the breach rather than in the OBJ
Servance. He inquired of the chair
man of the music committee and claims
he was met with remarks that We're
almost insulting. He persevered in his
efforts, despite this fact, and eventually
seems to have arrived at this solution
of the problem: We have no state mu-

persons who have state authority for

1t is now suggested by Mr. Metzger's

strongly urged by musicians throughout
