Location of the Santa Fe Trail Not to
Be Improved on by Engineers.

Present indications point to the
construction of several hundred miles
of suburban electric railroads in Kan
sas this year. The demand for inter
urban lines in the thickly settled
farming districts is SO urgent that in
many localities in the wheat belt the
farmers are subscribing for stock and
will raise practically enough money to
build the lines.
This is particularly true in Central
Kansas, where north and south lines
are needed to connect with the main
lines of railroads, which cross the
State from east to west. A network
of electric lines connecting Newton,
ON the Santa Fe, with Salina and Abb
lene, on the Union Pacific, will be
built as soon as spring weather comes.
This system will tap the greatest
wheat region Of Kansas, covering
nearly 200 miles.
With Kansas City as the starting
point, three lines are proposed to run
west to Topeka, and later into the
central part of the State. One of
them, the Strang line, will be pushed
in the spring out along the old Santa
Fe trail.
1t is remarkable how the old plains
men who laid out the Santa Fe trail
across Kansas and into New Mexico
were able to pick out the most favor
able grades and proceed on the most
advantageous lines simply by using
their eyes.
"We tried to beat their surveying
with our engineers" w. B. Strang
said, ''but we finally ended by follow
ing the old trail made by the wheels
of the wagon trains. Eleven. times
our engineers surveyed other lines
but they finally concluded that the
grades selected by the men without
the knowledge of mathematics fifty
years ago were the most practical
and hence we are keeping very neal
to the old Santa Fe trail in the
building of our line to the West from
Kansas City,"
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad generally follows the ole
Santa Fe trail in its $50 miles O
track across the State. From thu
east line of Kansas near the business
part of Kansas City all the way to The
western border this remarkable fea
ture of the old Santa Fe trail is ap
parent.
The same engineering skill is re
vealed in the trail which passes
through the vast stretch of sandhills
extending owe 200 miles or NOR
through the western half of the State
The same judgment and wisdom II
avoiding bad grades as was manifest
ed in Eastern Kansas is shown here
Invariably the old plainsmen fount
the path of least resistance and We
held down the distance, for the savin;
of a few miles in the great stretch o
desert country lying between indie
pendence Mo-, and Santa Fe, N. M.

tion.

Once again the conversation had
veered around to thrilling adventures.
"That reminds me of an experience
l had some time ago." remarked a
member. 81 was riding a brakeless
bicycle down a steep hill, when all of
a sudden the chain snapped and I ca
reened down the rest of the hill
quicker than creased lightning.
"The road down the hill took a
turn at direct right angles, and in
the corner of the angle stood a cot
tage. 1 was wondering what the yer.
dict would be at the inquest when l
saw a man rest a plank of wood
against the caves of the cottage.
Il went straight for the plank, ove1
the roof and down the other side
Luckily, the cottager's wife and
daughters were shaking carpets, and.
alighting on an outstretched carpet, ]
was gently lowered to the ground"
A dead, dull silence descended on
the company, which was broken by
the Kissing of a soda siphon.-Tit.

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonders.

The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble in this world. To
change the food Is the first duty OF
every person that is i'll, particularly
from stomach and nervous trouble.
AS an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her husband, been brought
around to health again by leaving off
coffee and some articles of food that
did not agree with them. They began
using Postum and Grape-Nuts food.
She says:
For a number of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble,
which kept getting worse, until was
very i'll most of the time. About four
years ago l left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowels improved right along, but
was so reduced in flesh and so ner-
vous that the least thing would over
come me.
Then I changed my food and be-
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two princi-
pally for about four months. Day by
day / gained in flesh and strength un-
til now the nervous trouble has en-
tirely disappeared and l feel that l
1--WE my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
Husband is 70 years old and he
was troubled, for a long time, with
occasional cramps, and slept badly.
Finally l prevailed upon him to leave
off coffee and take Postum. He had
stood out for a long time, but after he
tried Postum for a few days he found
that he could sleep and that his
cramps disappeared. He was salts
fed and has n~evergone back to coffee.
81 have a brother in California who
has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be-
cause they have had such good results
from It."

An EdihIe Flower.

An edible flower, the mhowad, Is to
be seen in one of Washington's bo-
tanical gardens. In India they make
of this flower a soup, a bread, a wine
and a brandy. !.
The mhowad grows on a mhowad
tree, as the tulip grows on the tulip
tree. 1t Is lemon-yellow in color,
bigger than a tulip, and its corallae
are PUPPY and thick.
Dried and pounded into a powder
the mhowad makes a sweet, rich,
wholesome bread. Fermented in
spring water, a very delicate wine is
yielded by the useful bloom, and dis
titled the mhowad renders up an
aromatic and perfumed brandy which
the Hindoos, despite their temper
ance, find it difficult to resist.-Phila-

President took occasion to remark:
"You are perhaps aware, Governor,
that my wife is a member of the Todd

their name with two DIS. How is it
that you use but one?" "Mr. Presi-
