Chicago. Jan. 27.-A sweeping ad-
vance in the salaries of public school
teachers in Chicago has been voted by

MEN ARE EDWARDS.
Desert Their Families When Hard
Times Come On.


Pittsburg, Pa. Jan. 27.-Deserted
wives in great numbers have appeared
at the central police station within
the past few days asking aid in the
location of their mates. Tuesday
eight weeping women told their stories
and one man reversed the tale by ask
ing the police to find his wife. Yes
terday five more women appealed to
the detectives and Captain William
Elmore is authority for the statement
that a wave of wife desertion is
sweeping over the city.
About half of the disrupted couples
are childless and the other half have
large families.
The childless couples. after an in
vestigation, were shown to be better
off, but those couples with large fami-
lies found the struggle of life was
hard. Captain Elmore believes that
the increased cost of living has some
thing to do with the assertions.

HOLD BIG BANQUET.
One Thousand Tickets for Laymen's

81 think it is simply great the way
the people of Topeka have. taken hold
of things was the statement of John
u. Moore. the executive secretary of
the laymen's missionary movement in
Topeka, at a dinner held last night in
Gemmell hall of the Y. M. c. A. which
was attended by rs of the most promi-
nent men of the city.
The dinner was held with the idea
of furthering the work of planning for
the big convention, which will be held
in Topeka February 22-24. Reports of
committees were heard and it is now
thought that the attendance will reach
the 1000 mark at the convention,
judging from the interest which is be-
ing taken in the outlying districts
Thirty hotel reservations have been
made for the out-of-town speakers
who will be here, and work has now
begun on the program which will be
carried out. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the convention will be between
$1,000 and $1.S00. and while $500 of
this amount has already been guaran-
teed by interested citizens at least the
greater portion of the necessary sum
will be obtained through a registra-
ton fee of a dollar.
1t looks as though the 1000 tickets
for the big banquet, which will be held
on the evening of February 22 in the
Auditorium, Will go like hot cakes. At
the start the sale in Topeka will be

man of the deputation committee and
he is arranging to send representa-

At the meeting last night, w. B.
Madden, who for nearly 5 years was
a missionary in Japan, gave an en-
thusiastic address on the work in the
orient.
"The question, Do missions pay? is
good one." said Mr.. Madden. ST
like to hear it answered. When we OBJ
serve as we go through Korea and
Japan signs everywhere advertising
Ivory soap and know that America is
washing the people of the countries,
we know it pays. When we see Stand
ard OIL wagons we know that we are
distributors of light and that it pays.
Instead of the saying that commerce
follows the flag, it should be commerce
follows the missionary.
OF course, we are particularly in
terested in knowing what the missions
are accomplishing in a spiritual way,
and that is much.'

KNAPP SAYS IRIS DIFFERENT.
Why He Opposes the Committee of
Fifty Plan.

Fred Knapp, secretary of the state
board of control, had the following 20
say today about the interview this
week given out by Secretary of State
Denton on the primary law
THE only difference between the
position of Secretary of State Denton
and myself is that he is in favor of the
committee of 5o,'' and against the pri-
mary election system and am in favor
of the primary election system and
against the committee of 50' The edi-
torial writer for the CapitaI tries to
justify the position that both are es-
sential by reference to Chicago, which
he admits is a convention and not a
primary election city, and which has a
greater population than the whole state
of Kansas and is infested with a vast
ignorant voting element as well as all
kinds of slums, dives, saloons and cor
ruption. not only resent the commit
tee of fifty idea but also to Topeka be-
ing compared in point of voting .inteln-
gence to such a city as Chicago"

Much sickness is of nervous
origin. It's the nerves that
make the heart force the blood
through the veins, the lungs
take in oxygen, the stomach di-
gest food, the liver secrete bile
and the kidneys filter the blood.
If any of these organs are weak,
it is the fault of the nerves
through which they get their
strength. DR.. Miles Nervine is
a specific for the nerves. 1t
soothes the irritation and assists
in the generation of nerve force.
Therefore you can hardly miss
it if you take DR.. Miles Nervine
when sick. Get bottle from
your druggist. Take it all ac-
cording to directions, and if it
does not benefit he will return
your money.
