A BOOMERANG ARGUMENT

Il is an uncommon thing to hear
people who mean well, but are poorly
informed, argue that COCA-COLA,
the popular temperance drink, must
contain cocaine, whiskey or morphine
or some other narcotic drug, because
|, keeps them awake. Such people are
ignorant of the fact that narcotics do
not keep you awake; they put you to
sleep. Cocai.e. morphine, whiskey
and other narcotic drugs depress the
nerve cells of the brain and produce
sleep. In large doses they produce I'M
consciousness. On the other hand,
COCA-COLA, tea and coffee. all OF
which owe their refreshing property
to a substance called caffeine, are re-
freshing to the nerve cells OF the brain.
and therefore, Increase the activity OF
the mind. thus keeping you awake In.
stead OF putting YOU to sleep.
But why argue matter which has
already been settled by chemical anal
ysis? The Chief OF the Bureau OF
Chemistry OF the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington, has analysed this
temperance drink, and reports that Il
does not contain narcotics. The OFF,
cial State Chemists of Georgia, Vir-
glnia, Texas, Minnesota. Illinois. Penn
sylvania, Alabama and many other
states, give the same verdict. The
Professors Of Chemistry OF Alabama
Polytechnic Institute, Tulane Univer-
sity. University OF South Carolina.
Columbia University, University of IL
linois, and other leading educational
Institutions throughout, the United
States, give the same verdict. The
Chemists OF the City Board OF Health
Of numerous cities throughout the
country, as well as the leading Com
mercial Chemists, give the same YER
diet. All agree in giving COCA-COLA
clear bill of health. COCA-COIE
is not only not Injurious but Is much
superior to tea and coffee as a re.
freshing beverage, in that II is free
from fannie acid-the only material
which makes tea and coffee at all
objectionable. f

GUS lumber yards in Doniphan county,
or some other serious mistake he had
made, proved his undoing.
While, as you say, 1t would be very
desirable to have a business man of
this kind for governor, We are not sure
but the successful manner in which
Mr. Stubs has carried through a
number of business enterprises would
indicate that he has a capability that
would make him quite a success as a
lum Der dealer. He most certainly has
proved a very competent and satisfac-
tory governor.
We know it is irritating to hear so
much about the lumber trust. We very
often have had it put up to us in an
unpleasant way while we were trying
to take care of the trade of this town,
which is not large, and it must prove
much more serious for you, to control
ten lumber yards, and take care of a
whole county SO large as Johnson
county. But we try to take a cheerful
view of the matter, and invite investi-
cation, believing that with complete
information as to the really high plane
of integrity on which the lumber
trade is carried on, the public viii
grant us the regard and respect really
due us.
OF course Governor Stubs is rich,s
but the ordinary, prosperous. happy
1um herman who makes enough to pro-
vide comfortably for his family, can
forgive him for that. And we hope
that, with close attention, your bust
ness may prove more satisfactory and
remunerative in the future than you
say it has in the past, Yours truly,

been told of the execution of his son
and probably will not be, and since he
rarely reads it is not unlikely that the
old man may pass to his grave saved
of the pain which would come with the
knowledge of hanging.
Bert Taylor was a resident of lola
for several years prior to his removal
to Nebraska in 1908, where he COM
mitted the crime which resulted in his
death. After he left here, the senior

port and unable to work, was sent to
the poor farm.

in the town of Minden. Several years
before Taylor had married into the
family of the same name, though not
related. Following his wife's death
he made his home with her parents.

followed through Kansas, where later
he was apprehended, admitted his
identity and was brought back to Ne
braska. Feeling against him at Min
den was so bitter he was taken to the
penitentiary. His trial. however, was
held later at Minden and on June 3.
1909, he was found guilty of murder
and sentenced to be hanged.
Taylor continually persisted in say
ing that he was innocent of the crime
with which he was charged and said
that a man who was his double had
killed the young woman and charged
the guilt to him. After the killing, he
came to lola. but departed before Off
GERS discovered his presence and went
to California, where he said he was in

Missouri Pacific Italians Loyal to Their
Religion.

Salina, Kan, Nov. THAT a num-
Der of the Italian railroad employees,
maintained for some time by the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad at Smolan, were
religious, is evidenced by the long Sun
day walks they took to go to church
on Sundays.
These Italians were employed as bal
lasters while the work of preparing the
Missouri Pacific tracks was going on.
They were stationed at Smolan.
Every Sunday, early in the morning,
they would walk to SaIina, distance
of eleven miles, to attend services at
the Catholic church here. No matter
what was the condition of the weather,
they appeared as regularly as Sunday
came around. Sometimes the road
was dusty and the weather was hot and
it was a long, weary tramp. They
were always in time, nevertheless, and,
after mass, resumed their journey on
foot back to Smolan.
A few Sundays ago one of them
brought with him a tiny child 1t was
baptized in Salina and the proud faith
er carried it back to Smolan again
after the christening.

young woman. came here a few days
ago to scatter some sunshine among
the 1000 convicts confined in the fed
eral penitentiary. Of this number of
downcast and detected men there were
two whose hearts leaped for joy as
Miss Roslyn appeared in the prison
chapel to sing to the assembled con-
VictS.
In Canton, Ill, there are two banks,
one Immediately across the street from
the other. Six years ago two young
men who worked in one were chums
with Fred Roslyn, the young cashier
were together and at visits to young
Roslyn's home they became acquainted
with Marion Roslyn, Fred's younger
sister.
These two men saw Miss Roslyn, but
it was in different role She was on
the stage of the chapel of the fed
eral penitentiary, one of a team of
operate toreadors entertaining the
1,021 convicts of the prison. 1t was
not for all the convicts that Marion
Roslyn was singing, however. Some
where in that grave audience she
knew that there were two men, friends
once, and friends still. who now are
shut out from the world bitterly and
silently bearing their punishment for
something she does not understand.
But they were friends, once-almo st
playmates.
Miss Roslyn was accompanied to
Fort LeavenwOrth by several MEM
bers of a local theater She want
ed to see her old friends, but she
could not bear to have them presented
to her in their convict suits.
Finally, as per plans of the prison
mana cement, Pierce and Roslyn APP
peared. The men went wild. Through
some unaccountable means. the news
had spread over the great audience
that here was the woman who was
doing this for them. They applauded
every word she sang; she could not
fail to recognize why they were show
ing their appreciation, and never was
the young woman singing better. Miss
Roslyn recognized her two friends, and
as she was leaving she saw them wipe
the tears from their eyes and follow
her to the outer door.

say to himself, Well, I've got more cars
on today; I'll have to put on brakes
sooner in order to stop just right at the
station
'I once heard an engineer say that
an engine with a baggage car and two
passenger coaches travelling at the rate
of So miles an hour would require about
500 feet TO stop and travelling at 25
miles an hour would require 400 feet to
halt Now, he was just guessing, or
else he had a particular train and par
ticular conditions in mind, and most
likely particular times in mind. The
fact is you can't tell within what dis
lance train can be stopped.
why, take the same type of engine
and the same type of coaches and run
them over the same track and apply
the brakes in precisely the same man
ner and the two trains will not stop
in the same distance of track. Indeed,
take the same train over the very same
track at different times, run her at ex-
actly the same speed and apply the
brakes in the very same manner and
you can't stop in the same distance.
Engineers would like to stop at each
station at precisely the same spot that
they did the day before. Do they ever
do it? No. son, they don't, because it
can't be done.
1.-The stopping of a train depends on
conditions, just as l said before. En-
gineers who have Travelled over a par
ticular road for years can't do it. Some
times the conditions vary to such an
extent that the train is run past the
station. Everybody has seen that done
And then the engineer says things I'M
der his breath and backs up his train
to let the passengers on and to take
on baggage. Sonny, engineers never
know within yards where their trains
will stop.
Freight trains are more uncertain
than passengers. This is so because it
doesn't matter as much. An applica-
ton of ten pounds of air may produce
no braking at all, due to the wear of
the system, and, on the other hand, 10
pounds might put on more brake than
the engineer wanted. He may throw
on a small Quantity of air, and without
expecting it the emergency brakes get
into action as result. When the brakes
are already on the engineer may re-
lease them a little and by so doing re-
lease them entirely, so that the train
leaps forward. So. you see, you can't
always tell what the brakes are going
to do.
You wouldn't suppose that the tenn
perature of the rails would make any
difference about brakes, would you"
It's fact. A rule of thumb is that a
train will brake twice as quickly in
the winter as in the summer. The
wheels stick to the rails more when
they are cold. The scientific folk tell
you that the cohesion is greater. And,
another thing, the oil on the rail when
it is warm is more slippery. All the
steel rods, pipes, ETC., on a warm day
are expanded, and so they have to move
through greater distances to become eff
