OUTSIDER FOR KANSAS PLACE,

Witt as Its Engineer.
The state board of railroad com
missioners have employed Chrl G.
Witt as engineer. He will begin APP
prasement work and making physical
valuations of railroads and public util'
tiles at once. He will be the engineer
of the new public utilities commission,
which becomes operative when the
statutes are published. His salary is
to be $4,000 a year.
Frank Ryan, member Of the COM
mission, objected strenuously to go
ing outside the state for an engineer.
Mr.. Witt was the engineer for the
railroad commission of South Dakota
four years and appraised all the rail
roads in that state.
Il believe" said Mr.. Ryan, that we
should engage an engineer from Kan
sas We have fine engineering schools
at Lawrence and Manhattan, and
am sure We can find men in Kansas
who can do this work. | think it a
reflection on Kansas to go outside the
state for an engineer. | am not saying
anything against Mr. Witt. He Is q
good man, but l think we should have
found one in Kansas"
John T. White, another member of
the commission, stated that there were
no applications from Kansas engineers
for the place. Il would have liked a
Kansas man myself" he said, "but
none applied"

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
juring Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
Il suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my housework, | did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
cause, the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
/ was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that l wanted to insure
my life.
Fortunately for me, happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from man who had been
affected in the same way that l was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
MY health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and soon all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out OF my mouth!
Then again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble In
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago that 1 be
gan to use Postum and l am using 1t
still, and shall continue to DO so, as l
find it a guarantee Of good health

Old offenses Don't Count.

Old offenders against the prohibit
tory law need worry no more over the
new law making the second violation
a penitentiary offense, than the new
offenders. There seems to be a gen.
eral misunderstanding about this new
law, according to letters received by
Attorney General John S. Dawson.
The first and second offenses must be
committed after the law goes into eff
feet. The last offense before the law
went into effect cannot be counted.
