W. B. JANSEN OUT
Vice President OF the Santa Fe
Resigns.
The Position Will Now BE
Abolished.

Word has been received in the To-
peka general offices of the Santa Fe
of the resignation of w. B. Jansen as
vice president of the road. Mr.. Jan
sen was vice president in charge of
the accounting. treasury, fuel and
timber departments, with headquar-
tiers in Chicago. Ill health is said to
have been the cause of his resigna-
tion.
Mr.. Jansen was well known in To-
peka. He started with the Santa Fe
in this city, working in a number of
the departments and climbing up
through the ranks in the offices here.
When he left Topeka to take the
vice presidency of the Santa Fe, Mr.
Jansen was assistant to general man
ager-a position similar to the one
held by Henry b. Lautz at this time
Mr.. Jansen served also as chief clerk
in the general managers office in
Topeka.
The position held by Mr.. Jansen
will be abolished by the Santa Fe.
The timber and fuel departments will
be given to w. E. Hodges, vice presi-
dent, and the other divisions of the
office will be distributed elsewhere.
With the announcement of the jan
sen resignation came the news that
f. ]. Engel has been appointed as
sistant to President Ripley. He start
ed with the Santa Fe as a stenogra-
pher in Mr.. Ripley's office and has
worked up to the position mentioned.

TYPHOID DANGER GREATER.
Preparation Made to Guard Public
Against Polluted Oysters.

New York, Aug. 31.-With the APP
proach of September, the first of the
''r'' months, and the beginning of the
open season for oysters, the New
York health authorities have begun
preparations to guard the public
against polluted bivalves.
THE danger from typhoid is great
er than usual" says Edward Hatch,
chairman of the state water pollution
committee, in a bulletin of warning.
1T has been a dry season, and conse-
quently the streams have not been
secured as well as usual. The people
therefore should be more careful than
ever about the oysters they eat.
New York harbor oysters have
been pronounced unfit for human
food because of the pollution in the
waters around the city. A special
watch will be kept this year on the
oyster beds of the state and any in
fraction of the law which prohibits
floating of oysters in sewage beds will
be severely prosecuted.
Consumers should insist upon see
ing the permits issued by the city for
the sale of oysters, as the dealer in
obtaining the permit must state the
place from which the bivalves come
and no one will get a license to sup
ply oysters from infected BEDS

DAILY GAIN in WEIGHT
Comes to Those Who Use Samose
says Druggist Geo. w Stansfield.

The poor. thin, emaciated person,
when he or she becomes plump, rosy
and robust by using Samose, forgets
that there is such a thing as weakness
and underweight.
Samose restores health to the whole
system so that the tissues assimilate
from the food all of those elements
which make solid bone firm muscle,
pure blood and sufficient fat to re-
store beautiful and symmetrical out
lines to the figure.
An increase in weight is seen from
the first weeks use of Samose, but II
it does not restore you to your proper
weight and give you full vigor and

Are Against Increase in Rates on the
Railroads.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Representatives of
lumber dealers associations of Michi-
gan. Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and I'LL
nols met here to formulate a protest
to be submitted to the Interstate COM
merce commission against an increase in
the lumber rates on railroads
In the past the trunk lines in the
southwest have paid portion of their
through rates to the originating lines,
but recently filed notice of cancellation
to become effective September a. The
lumber dealers believe that the cancel
lation should not be sanctioned unless
the trunk lines reduce their through
rates, as pocketing the division hither-
to made with the originating lines will
be equivalent to an increase in the av-
erage rates.
The lumber dealers say that the pres
ent rates on lumber are higher than on
crease would be an unjust burden on the
consuming public.
