State superintendent.s Opinion.

The opinion of Frank Stah1, super
intendent of tie State Temperance
Union, is that as soon as the curtain
is rung down upon the drug store and
the new prohibition law goes into eff
feet, the number of bootlegeers and
jointists will double if not treble. He
says that the prohibitory law is OILY
effective VIXEN effectively enforced,
and that it takes more than laws to
prevent drinking. As a whole, he is
very well satisfied with the prohibition
laws PASSED by tie 1909 session of the
legislature

Journey Across Uganda.
Leaving Nairobi in October, the
party will proceed by the Uganda
railway to Port Florence. on the
shores OF Lake Victoria Nyanza, where
a short stop will be made; then a
steamer will be taken to Entebbe, $50
miles away. There a caravan will be
formed and the journey across
Uganda to the Nile will be begun. 1t
is expected that the White Nile will
be reached about the first of the year
1910. Lake Albert Nyanza will be
touched at Kibira
In a general way TIE course of the
Nile will be followed to Gondokoro,
MI Roosevelt and Kermit will be
joined by Mrs. Roosevelt and they will
continue down the Nile slowly to
Cairo, visiting many points of interest
on the way.
To Speak in European Capitals.
Plans for the remainder of the ex-
presidents two years tour have not
been decided upon definitely, but the
time will be spent in Europe, and sew
eral matters of Importance have been
announced. He will visit Berlin at the
invitation of Emperor William and
while there will deliver an address
upon the one hundredth anniversary
of the founding of the University of
Berlin.
From Germany he will go to France
and deliver an address at the Sor-
bonnie. 1t has not been learned how
long Mr.. Roosevelt intends to stay in
Berlin and Paris. After his visit in
France, Mr.. Roosevelt will go to Eng
land, where a reception of great
warmth undoubtedly will be accorded

to him. He has accepted an invitation
to deliver the Romanes lecture at Ok
ford university and in all probability
the honorary degree of D. c. L., which
Oxford has bestowed on Emperor Will
lam, will be conferred on Mr.. Roose-
welt
The versatility of Mr.. Roosevelt will
be shown by the fact that he will
speak German in his address before
the students of the University of Ber-
lin, French in his lecture at the Sor-
bonnie, and English in delivering the
Romanes lecture at Oxford.
Pays His Own Expenses.
Mr.. Roosevelt will defray the ex-
penses of himself and his son on the
African trip, but those of the scien-
lists and the cost of preparing the
specimens and shipping them to Amer
lea will be paid out of fund secured
for the purpose by the Smithsonian
institution.
One of the objects of Mr.. Roosevelt
in taking this trip is for the purpose
of collecting material for writing sew
eral books regarding his experiences.
During last summer he contracted with
Charles Scribner's Sons, of New York,
giving that firm all the rights for the
serial and bOok-form publication of
whatever he might write on his visit
to Africa. 1t is said that the contract
price agreed upon is 81 per word,
but this never has been verified.
No Slaughter of Animals.
Even if the British colonial govern
ment should offer to throw open to Mr..
Roosevelt and his companions the At
rican game preserves under its con-
troll, the ex-president will refuse to
take advantage of this opportunity.
Like other true sportsmen, he believes
that the utmost protection should be
given to wild animals on reservations
and that permission to kill them
should not be given or accepted under
any circumstances unless, possibly,
when predatory animals are becoming
too numerous.
Moreover, the killing of animals fer
sport is not the main1object of his trip.
Mr.. Roosevelt hopes to send back to
the Smithsonian institution two adult
specimens, one of each sex, and
specimen of their young, OF animals
he meets with on the Dark Continent
Beyond this the killing will be lin
tied to the demands of the commits
sary.

To Mombasa Via Naples.
Mr. Roosevelt will go via Gibraltar
to Naples, where he will board a
steamer of the German East African
line for Kilindini harbor, the port of
Mombasa. At the latter place the
party will be joined by r. j. Cum
ninghame, an Englishman of long ex-
perience in Africa, who has been en-
gagged as general manager and guide
The party will spend short time in
Mombasa and then proceed by train
on the Uganda railway to Nairobi

On MacMiIIan's Ranch.
William Northrup Macmillan, for
formerly of st. Louis, owns a large
estate near Nairobi and his big, lux
urious farmhouse will be headquarters
for about six months while the hunt
ers and scientists make trips of vary
ing length in all directions. 1t is in
this section that Mr.. Roosevelt hopes
to obtain most of his specimens, for
it abounds with animals of all kinds.
The smaller mammals will be trapped
The supplies of the party are packed
in tin-lined boxes. These boxes when
they have been emptied will be used
as packing cases for the various speci-
mems. Many valuable natural history
specimens have been spoiled by ants
and other insects, it has been found
from experience on other expeditions,
and it is to guard against this that
the tin-lined boxes are being taken
along.
Caring for Specimens.
When the specimens have been pre-
pared they will be carefully packed in
the boxes and shipped to Nairobi
where they will be forwarded to the
United States. One of the taxider-
mists will always be with Mr.. Roose-
welt, and as soon as any big game is
shot by him it will be skinned and
prepared on the spot.
Mr.. Roosevelt will be greatly dir
appointed If he fails to kill several

LESS MEAT
Advice Of Family Physician.

Formerly people thought meat nee
essa-y for strength and muscular
vigor.
The man who worked hard was sup
posed to require meat two or three
times a day. Science has found out
differently.
1t is new a common thing for fam
lily physician to order less meat, as in
the following letter from N Y man.

pepsia and nervousness. My physician
advised me to eat less meat and
greasy foods generally. tried several
things to take the place of my usual
breakfast of chops, fried potatoes, etc.,
but got no relief until I tried Grape
Nuts food.

Too late to Fight Scale.

At meeting of the state entomolo-
gical commission in Topeka to con-
slider a plan for carrying out the in
structions of the legislature to exter-
inmate the San Jose scale, for which
the sum of $4,000 was appropriated,
it was decided that it was too late
now to buy and receive machinery
with which to spray the fruit trees
and thus protect them from the raw
ages of this dreaded scale this year.
In order to be effective the trees must
be sprayed before the buds burst in
the spring and the leaves come out.
The commission will at once take
steps to survey the fruit tree districts
and locate the trees infected and burn
them. Next winter. after the leaves
have fallen from the trees, the com
mission will begin the work of spray
ing them and thus hopes to in a large
measure exterminate the scale.
