ew of the famous physician who saved
the life of the great queen of Austria.
I'VE went from New York to Balti-
more, where we visited the tomb of
Edgar Allen Poe, novelist, of ia
nous Irish family. We also saw the
first Methodist church built in Ameri-
ca and the preacher was an Irish
man. By the way, both the first Meth
odist. and the first Presbyterian
churches in America were established
by Irishmen.
I'VE went to FIT. McHenry. named
after an Irishman who was Washing
toms military secretary, and where
Key, an Irishman, was inspired to
write The Star Spangled Banner
when he saw it floating on the ram
parts in the early dawn after the fort
had been hard pressed by the British
during the war of 1912.
cat Washington we saw on the
dome of the capitol. the statue of the
Goddess of Liberty, which was sculp-
tured by Crawford, an Irishman and
the rotunda of the building was the
statue of the late Senator ingalls,, of
Kansas, which was constructed by Cal

where extracts from the poem The
Bivouac of the Dead written by a son
of Theodore O'Hara, an Irish immi-

sat in the church where the immortal

I'VE stopped in Pittsburg, Pa,
where .Pigiron Kelly by his iron in
dustry has built up the city.
coming near home we visited at
ST. Louis where an Irishman named
Charles started the first paper in the
great west.
Then at Kansas City we rode in
the street cars operated by one Bar
ney Corrigan, and still nearer home
we were in Leavenworth the home of
Fred Funston, who was a grandson

burn ColIabOrate to Refute SANDER.

Maybe not since Mark Twain and
Warner elaborated to write 1.-THE
Gilded Age" has there been so impor-
tant a literary coalition formed as
this one by Secretary Coburn and DR..
Crumbine TO defend the name of Kan
sas from the calumny of pellagra in
stigated by McClure.s magazine. The
cassie written by these eminent gen.
tlemen is as follows:
Pellagra in Kansas?
The November issue of McClure's
magazine contains an article on pei
Iagra, the Medical Mystery of Today"
by Marion Hamilton Carter. The
article is, in the main, an able review
md America, with a digest of the
views held by the scientists as to its
cause, distribution and progress.
In the statistical tables Kansas is
credited with ten cases. but their To-
cation in the state is not given. We
desire to state that there are no
known cases in Kansas. at the present
time, within the knowledge of the
state department of health, nor has
inquiry from the reputed source of in
formation, from which these statistics
we're gathered, given US any clue of
their whereabouts, except the one sup
osed case that died at the state cpl
.eptic hospital at Parsons, in March of
this year, and which DR.. Perry. the
superintendent, now believes to have
t.een pellagra. But one case last
March is not ten cases now. and if
the remainder of the statistical tables
are as far from the facts, as in the
case of Kansas, they are certainly mis-
leading and of little value. AS Chaplin
facetiously remarked: statistics new
er lie, but statisticians often do
If spoiled corn" is the cause of this
disease, then it will never gain a foot
hold in Kansas. In no other spot on
the earth does Indian maize. or corn,
reach such perfection as it does in the
middle states, and particularly in Kan
sas: temperature, soil and moisture are
deal, and the seasons of sufficient
length to fully mature and cure the
crop, and the comparatively dry sunny
days of fall and winter assure con-
tinuance of its excellent conditions.
These, with the additional safeguard
CT a rigidly enforced pure food law,
under which the products of mills are
systematically inspected, give all rea-
sonable assurance that this dread dis
ease will remain unknown In Kansas.
Moreover, if the scientists are cor
rect in their suspicion that liquor
made from damaged or mouldy corn
may produce the disease, then the pro-
hibitory law of Kansas has justified
itself once more, in safeguarding the
public health, as well as the morals

this board and the carriers.
The interest of the makers of steel
rails were aroused several months ago
when it became known that the board,
acting under authority of the COM
mission and congress- had decided to
inquire into the extent which defec-
tive rails entered as a factor in rail-
road wrecks and accidents. AS re-
suit of it's investigation, the board has
decided that the trouble experienced
by the railroads with steel rails was
a apparently due to manufacturing
faults and not to the chemical COM

STATE OFFICIALS DOUBLE ROLE.
Railroad Commissioner Uses Official
Influence to Help His Town.

Leavenworth. Kan, Nov. 15.-Com-
missioner Frank Ryan has gone to
Washington to attend the National
Association of Railroad Commission
ers and with him he carried
grip full of booklets on Leav-
enworth recently published by the
Greater Leavenworth club. He will
distribute these booklets in eastern
cities where they will do the most
good.
In his office and out of it, Frank
Ryan is for Leavenworth. The Times
hopes that the booklets he takes with
him will fall upon fertile soil. Good
advertising, such as the booklet con-
tains, will mean new industry directed
toward Leavenworth when it becomes
known to business men in the east
that this city possesses the advantages
that it does. A few good advertisers
such as Frank Ryan, can create a
world of favorable sentiment among
those who appreciate the advantages
of live western town.

CABLE OUT is LATE RUMOR.
New Story Going Rounds That Rock
Island Official Has Quit.

Rock Island, ILL.,, Nov. 15.-It has been
rumored that H. S. Gable, general SUI
perintendent of the Rock Island line
between Chicago and Denver, with
headquarters in Rock Island and
known here, has resigned. Mr.. Gable
declares that there is no foundation to
the story, but it continues to live in
spite of his denial.
Should Mr.. Gable sever his connec-
ton with the Rock Island, that system
would lose one of it's most valuable Of :
ficials. He is the son of the late r. r.
Gable of Rock Island. former president
and later chairman of the board of di-
rectors of the road. Refusing to avail
himself of the advantages that his
heritage brought him, he began his
railroad career at the bottom and has
worked his way through the various de-
partments until he now holds an office
that is second only to that of general
manager of the entire system
Cables first important office with the
Rock Island was that of manager of
the Pixies Peak line. From that road
he went to Rock Island as manager Of
the old Rock Island & Peoria, which,
under his direction was practically re-
built. When the Rock Island & Peoria
was merged with c.. r. I. & P, Mr.
Gable became district superintendent
with headquarters at Cedar Rapids.
Then his territory was enlarged and he
was given the management of the Chi
cago-Denver district with headquarters
at Davenport.

an optimiSt, that he believed the
world was constantly growing better
and that his Message from Kansas
would be an optimistic one, and it
was. He opened the argument of the
address with the statement that
woman's suffrage was a thing of the
immediate future in this country;
also that the securing of the ballot by
the women of this country would re-
suit in clean sweeping victory for
Prohibition-that this would be the
greatest battle ever won by the Pro-
forces, because it would prac-
ticalIy mean final success of the ma

For Constipation
A Medicine That Does Not Cost
Anything Unless 1t Gives
Satisfactory Relief.

If you suffer from constipation in
any form whatever, acute or chronic,
we will guarantee to supply you medi-
cine that we honestly believe will eff
feet permanent relief if taken with
regularity and according to directions
for reasonable length of time.
Should the medicine fail to benefit
you to your entire satisfaction we
promise that it shall cost you nothing.
No other remedy can be compared
with Rexall Orderlies for the easy,
pleasant and successful treatment of
constipation. The active medicinal in
gredient of this remedy, which is odor-
less, tasteless and colorless, is an en-
tirely new discovery. Combined with
other valuable ingredients, it forms a
preparation which is Incompatible as
perfect bowel regulator, intestinal
invigorator and strengthened. Rexall
Orderlies are eaten like candy, aid
are notable for their gentle and agree
able action. They do not cause grip
ing or any disagreeable effect or in
convenience, and may be taken at any
time, day or night.
We particularly recommend RexalI
Orderlies for children and for delicate
or aged persons, because they do not
contain anything injurious. Unlike
other preparations. they do not create
a habit, but instead they overcome the
habits acquired through the use of
ordinary laxatives, cathartics, and
harsh physic, and remove the causes
of constipation or irregular bowel ac-
ton that are not of surgical variety.
We want you to try RexaI Orderlies
at our risk. We know of nothing that
will do you so much good. They are
prepared in tablet form in two sizes:
36 tablets 25 cents, and IL tablets 10
cents Remember you can obtain
Rexan Remedies in Topeka only at
our store,-The RexaU Store. The
Rosser Drug Co.

ROADS CONTROL WATER ROUTES
Congress VIII Be Asked to Intervene
and Investigate Situation.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-That the
steamship companies operating on the
coast, the rivers and the lakes of the
United States are under the complete
control of the railroads has been re-
vealed by the local traffic bureau. This
domination is so widespread that it has
practically nullified water competition.
The conditions to which this relation
ship has given rise are regarded as SO
grave and of such deep concern to the
national government that congress will
be asked to intervene.
The proposal that the rail carriers be
barred from the competitive watec
traffic has found ready acceptance. III
fact the matter has been deemed as of
such pressing Importance that it was
taken up by the National Industrial
