In q few years psychologists will

Every advertisement makes a GER

sensory impressions are vivid and

For the purpose of experiment in

of new cases has not been noticeably de-

cured.
Write to any sanitarium and ask them
TO refer you to even five or ten cured
cases-not those temporarily benefited;

today in perfect health. At the same time
write to the Eckman Laboratory, 9Th and

MED the advantages of an education
because they have to make their living
during regular school hours, and also
many foreigners who today can not get
even the rudiments of an English edu-
cation, and
Whereas, it is to the interests of the
working class and of the community as
a whole to extend to all of these the
opportunities Of our schools, which
would cost but little extra since the
equipment would otherwise remain
idle
Whereas, this is no experiment but
is being done successfully in Chicago
and many other cities, now therefore,

open the most suitable school building
in the city in the evenings, hire extra
teachers and do everything necessary
to conducting free public evening

EXPANSION THE WORD.
Topeka Milling Company Increases
Capital Stock.

In order that it may better take care
OF It's increasing business, the Doaro
of directors of the Topeka Milling
company, through the president, Mr.
Herbert Hackney, announce an in
crease in the capital stock of the COM
pany from $4,000 to 100000, and
kept at home, the company is allowing
local investors first opportunity of
purchase.
For the past sixteen years, during
which time the business has been I'M
der the present management, the con-
Germ has grown from a struggling in
stitution to one of importance both in
this country and abroad, their prod
ucts being now sold in every state in
the Union, and in many foreign coun-
tries. Last year the business done
lowered right around the $75O,0OO
mark.
So rapid has been the growth of the
business during the past few years
that it has outgrown its original CAPT
talization, and it is in order that they
may still further increase their bust
ness that this new issue of stock has
been decided upon. l. is the ambition
of the mana cement that the business
done during 1910 will reach the mill
lion dollar mark, and from the pres
ent outlook they will not be dfsap-
pointed.
Just at this time when Topekans
generally are interested in the adver-
Using of the city, it might be of con-
Germ to many to know that the Topeka
Milling company does more advertising
for the city than perhaps any other one
institution, for in addition to the world
wide sale of their products they are
conducting a national campaign of ad-
vertising in newspapers and other
mediums to further the sale of this
flour and RaIston Health Flours, every
package of which bears some refer
ence to Topeka.
Although the new issue of stock of
the company has just been announced
snapped up by local people, and from
the present Indications the entire issue
will be purchased by Topeka investors.
The increasing of the capital stock
of the Topeka Milling company is but
will be made by several Topeka insti-
tutions during the next few months,
eac hone of which will mean a greater
and better Topeka.

feet in breadth. She was unable to
pass through a door without turning
sideways. She was a little over five

Mrs. Fuqua had been abnormally
heavy since she was girl, but of late
years she had been gaining weight
rapidly. She was 80 years old at the
time of her death. 1t took seven men
to lift her on the cooling board last

Delay in holding the funeral will be
occasioned by the fact that a special
casket will have to be ordered for Mrs.
Fuqua, as there is no caSket in the
city large enough to contain her body.

cause know there are so many others
in the world like her who sometimes
ask themselves that question
Those people would probably have
said that they treated her well, gave
her what they ate themselves, and part
of their shelter.
And yet they left her hungry and
cold. For there is no hunger worse
than the hunger for love, and no suf-
fering worse than the cold of lone
illness.
Is there anyone in your home who
ever for a moment feels the least bit
as this woman does?
I hope not.

CHARACTER SKETCH OF SAMUEL.
Samuel is one of the most pleasing
types of early piety A mother with
simple-hearted faith gives her son 10
God, and arranges to have him trained
up to holy works amid sacred sur
roundings. He is reverent and faithful
and becomes a judge and prophet Of
jehovah He was a man of large
views. great meekness, patience and
forbearance. Though practically re-
jected by his people who demanded a
king, he prayed to God that they might
be spared the penalties which their
course Of action would bring upon
them. He devoted his life steadily 20
the highest good of the people, whom
he had loved always, and for whom he
was always glad to labor. Happy IS
the man who, like Samuel. is both
patriotic and godlyI' G. A. H.
