A Blow to BoOtlecrery.


Disaster for bOotleggers is spell
ed in a change in the rulings of
the internal revenue department,
notice of which has been received
by Governor Stubs. Another i'm
portant concession-one which it
is believed will completely break
the backbone of bOOtlegging in
Kansas-has been obtained from
the President, the Attorney Gen.
eral and Secretary of the Treas
ury by Governor Stubs. Boot
leggers are not to come in the
class known as unintentiOnal viO-
lators of the law, and they will
be reported and arrested even
though their revenue tax is paid
within the calendar month. The
bootlegger must have a stamp, he
must have a regular place of bus
mess and he must display his
stamp in his place of business be-
fore he begins to sell. He will be
looked upon as a willful violator
Of the law even though he has a
fixed place Of business unless his
stamp is displayed before bushes.

Governor Stubs is of the opin-
ION that this ruling will strike the
death blow to bOotlegging in Kan

IMPROVED HORSE FEED BAG
NAL Perfect Freedom Of

An improved type Of feed bag for
horses has been designed by an ILL
nois man. Instead of being hung over
the head, as the old style bag, it Is at
tached to the collar and held in place
under the horses nose. A bar, hinged
in two parts, has one part adaptable
to fastening to the collar and the
other part with an attachment for the
canvas bag. When this Is adjusted the
horse has perfect freedom to move
his head and does not have to go
through contortions to get the feed
which remains in the bottom of the
bag after that within easy reach has
been eaten. lin the old style bag, after
the horse had eaten the top feed, he
was obliged to press the bottom of the
receptacle against something to get
his nose down to the remainder. Or,
as was more often the case, he would
loss his head to fling up the oats and
the result would be that large por'

A Convenient Dryer.

AS great boon as women know a
vacuum cleaner to be, comparatively
few have learned to put it to personal
use. When they buy one for their
home use they revel over the clean
house they will keep, with never a
thought as to clean clothes and clean
scalp.
Instead Of laboriously brushing your
tailor suit with whisk, stand in front
of the vacuum cleaner and every par
ticle of dust and dirt is lifted out in
a few minutes. Nothing remains to do
but wash off grease spots and press
ing.
Shampoos are simplified by using
the cleaner as dryer. Put on the
blower, sit in front of it, and the hair
is dry in a surprisingly short time.
