WEBB ON MEMORIAL SITE.
Says Building at Tenth and jackson
Will Complete Picture.

The site now proposed for the cree
ton of the Memorial building at the
corner of Tenth and Jackson streets,
where the old stone school house
stands, has an enthusiastic champion in
W. w Webb.
Mr.. Webb says: This location will
complete the row of large and hand
some buildings facing the entire state
house grounds on the east side. No
where else facing capitol square can
such location be secured Most of the
people who visit the capitol enter from
the east side of the grounds where the
view consists chiefly of the east front
of the capitol building and the row
of buildings on Jackson street which
would be greatly enhanced by the re-
moval of the old stone shack at the
corner mentioned and replaced by the
handsome new Memorial. The site
available there is the largest available
within the Limitations made by the
legislature furnishing a lot 100 by 225
feet The city has offered to vacate
the alley between this site and the
Santa Fe office building which would
leave possible 80 feet of space for a
grass plot
The street cars from all the depots
of Topeka pass the site proposed which
is true of no other available lots. hence
the building would be placed so as to
attract the admiration of the throngs
of Topeka visitors to the many con-
ventions and other assemblies giving
them first Topeka impression of
magnifcence."

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New discovery Has Revolufionized the
Treatment OF skin Diseases.


Treatment OF skin Diseases.
Nothing in the history of medicine
has ever approached the success of the
marvellous skin remedy kown as pos
lam, which. it is safe to say, has cured
more cases of eczema and skin dis
eases than any remedy ever offered for
these ills
The success. of poslam is not at all
surprising when it is considered that
even a very small quantity applied to
the skin stops itching Immediately and
cures chronic cases in two weeks. The
very worst cases of eczema, as well
as acne, herpes, letter. piles, salt
rheum, rash, crusted humors, scaly
scalp and every form of itch, yield to
it readily. Blenishes such as pimples,
red noses, muddy and inf1amed skin
disappear almost Immediately when
poslam is applied, the complexion be-
Ing cleared overnight.
Every druggist keeps both the So
cent size (for minor troubles) and the
81 jar, and either of these may be OBJ
tanned in Topeka at Fred A. Shows
as well as other reliable drug stores.
But no one is even asked to pur-
chase poslam without first obtafnin g
an experimental package which will
be sent by mail, free of charge, upon
request, by the Emergency Labora-
tories, 30 West Twenty-fifth street.

THOSE FREIGHT CARS.
Efforts Making to Remove Yards from
State House Square.

AT an informal discussion at the
Commercial club rooms today noon
ways and means were discussed to Sc
cure, if possible, the abandonment of
jackson street between Eighth and
Tenth avenues as a yard for freight
cars. 1t is common for from two to
three cars loaded with coal and other
freight to stand during the entire day
along the east front of the state house
square. This was the case during the
big Sunday school convention of last
week. Freight and freight cars on
the city railway are prohibited except
at night. On Sunday five freight cars
stood on Jackson street, neither as
useful nor ornamental distractions.
Remedy: Enforce the ordinance
which says: said railway company is
also authorized to transport coal and
other freight between the hours of IL
o'clock midnight and o'clock a. m,
and no cars, when not in actual use
for passenger travel shall be kept
standing in any street"

the wagon road from Jefferson county
along Calhoun Bluffs to North Topeka.
They say that on account of the pres
ent condition of the road, many far
meFs are doing their trading away
from North Topeka so that the mer-
chants are consequently losing mon
ey. 1t is understood that the atten-
ton of the county commissioners will
be called to the matter.
Several years ago, through the COM
bined efforts Of the North Topeka
business men and the township as a
whole, subscriptions were raised and
the road in question was made one of
the best in the county. The township
also granted the Union Pacific the
right to cut into Calhoun Bluffs in
order to make room when the double
tracks of the road were built between
here and Kansas City. At that time it
is said that railroad promised to cut
a road for the use of wagons, but 1t
seems that this was never done.

his observation of the bikes along the

engaged in railroad work Nearly all
of the embankments along the stream,
which are made to keep the water
back were merely put up about ten
feet with scraper and were about six
feet across. However, these COM
paratively small earth works held the
waters of the great river from flood

of the stream would be much higher
than the adjacent fields there would
be no water on them and no seepage

A loaf of Weston Bread is not quite as heavy

If we made Weston Bread in ordinary size
loaves, we couldn't afford to sell it at the

ton material costs us more. The little we
gain in time by making one ten cent loaf
instead of two five cent ones, also goes into
the strengthening of Weston quality. In
