Much Talk Is Being Created by
the Great Good 1t Is Doing.

SO much talk is being created by the
great good Root Juice is doing at this
point that some people think it is good
for every ailment. The scientist said:
Root Juice is not a cure for all. There
are many troubles it will not benefit
1t will not cure organic heart and
lung troubles, cancer and other in
durable maladies, but If it is used for
any trouble of the stomach, bowels,
liver or kidneys that can be cured with
medicine, believe Root Juice will re-
move distractions and give nature a
chance to restore health. The COM
Dlnat1on of roots and other ingredients
in Root Juice has a remarkable sooth-
ing, healing and tonic action on the
kidneys" Numbers of local people
have reported rapid improvement un-
der the Root Juice treatment. A lady
who for various reasons does not wish
her name published, said: ST was so
bad before taking Root Juice with my
kidneys and stomach, that 1 could not
straighten up after STOPPING without
sharp pains shooting through my back;
had dizzy spells and was very nerv-
Gus. My eyesight was badly affected
Kidney secretions were very frequent
at night. My hands and feet were
cold, the circulation was very poor.
When I got up of mornings was just
as tired as when I went to bed. At
times there was a feeling in my stom-
ach like 1 had swallowed rocks. 1
often had severe pains in my side and
had frequent headaches. 1 was very
sallow with dark rings under my eyes.
I tried many medicines without ben
eft, but Root Juice is making a new
woman of me. My complexion is
clearing up. I have a good appetite
and digest my food, my kidneys no
longer give me trouble and am en-
tirely free from pain, although I have
only used the great remedy a short
while" Such praise is now being
heard every day at the Arnold drug
store, 523 Kansas avenue, Topeka
The juice is one dollar a bottle, or
three bottles two dollars and half.

DAINTY

Here's about the finest little deli
cacy ever concocted and you're sure
to like them immensely. To begin
with there are two delicious spongy
waters, a little larger than maca-
room and fat on one side. The low
er one is thickly spread with a rich,
smooth, velvety, marshmellow
cream. Then right in the center,
we place a big, sweet drop of
raspberry jam. Next, the top wafer
is clapped on and iced generously,
with rich chocolate icing. On the
whole the effect is most pleasing
and you're missing something fine
until you try them They sell at
15c a dozen.

Ship Subsidies.

iuG SOIJOIdtlou papers INV
TEEN with editorials and articles
in favor OF ship subsidy. Pa
pers that tor years have insisted
that the people should be taxed
through high tariff TO keep out
goods are now clamoring for a
tax upon the people to subsidize
ships to bring goods TO our ports.
There are three arguments
made in favor of subsidy. First
that IT will increase our foreign
trade; second, that it will furnish
a new employment for American
capital. and third. that it will en-
able our country TO train Ameri-
can seamen.
To answer the first argument it
need only be said that reduction
of the tariff will accomplish more
increase in trade than can be ac-
complished by substituting ships.
The subsidy plan imposes an sd-
ditiopal tax to overcome the tax
already collected; the democratic
plan reduces the present tax.
Can any one doubt which, plan is
best for taxpayers? Or Why not
encourage American shipping byi
giving a reduction of the tariff on
goods brought to our ports in
American bottoms1 This would
help the American ship owners
without increasing the burden of
the people. Our tariff on all that
enters into ships and our Law pro-
hibiting the purchase OF foreign
made ships-both of these have
operated against our shipping;
why not allow the purchase of
shipsf
The second reason tor the SUBJ
sidy is equally unsound. To turn
American capital into shipping
we must make shipping more
profitable than domestic industry.
The protective system has brought
such large profits to capitalists
that shipping has been left to
foreigners. The trusts have still
further Increased the profits OF
capital. How much of a subsidy
would il require to make shipping
as profitable to ship owners as the
iron business has been to Carnegie
or the oil business has been to
Rockefeller No subsidy that
ony one would dare propose
would bring the shipping industry
into competition with the trusts
as money maker.
And as to the third argument,
why waste money on subsidies
when the same end can be &C.
complished so much more cheaply
in another way3 Instead of put
ng so much money into battle
ships why not build few trans
ports and then use the transports
in time OF peace to establish
trade routesa The government
can borrow money at half the rate
charged to private individuals
and need not make any profit at
all. Its battleships are a contin-

1.-The Little Grew LADY,"

Five years ago when Charming Pol
locks pleasing little play The Little
Grey Lady was given it's original pro-
duction. Julia Dean created the title role
and the play was success. That play
with Julia Dean, the original Little
Grey Lady" again in the role which she
created, will be the offering at the Co.
lumbia Theater next week.
THE Little Grey Lady is essentially a
Washington play It's scenes are laid
here and it's characters will be readily
recognized as familiar figures of this
city. One of its scenes requires the re-
production on the stage of the redemption
division of the Treasury Department, and
another will likewise transplant the
"rear garden" of q Washington boarding
house, where the boarders, or some of
them, occasionally go to commune with
the moon.
The play is an entertaining comedy
with an undercurrent of dramatic serious
ness at times. Charming Pollock is a
we'll known dramatic writer of this city.
Another of his plays. Such a Little
Queen" was given it's first production the
past season. His dramatizations of THE
Pit" and I'm Bishops Carriage" have
been real successes. and most playgoers
are familiar with them.
A fine reproduction of THE Little Grey
Lady" is promised.
