CONVICT LABOR LAW FAULTY.
Not Certain That Warden Can Use
County Prisoners.

Warden Codding, of the penitentiary
was very happy few days ago be-
cause he thought he would get a lot
of extra help in building roads and
working the farm and brick yard at
the state penitentiary A law was in
troduced in the legislature providing
for county commissioners to send coun-
ty prisoners to Lansing to be worked
under direction of the warden. But the
law was changed in the legislature and
the lawyers are not so sure about it
being possible to send the prisoners to
Lansing.
The law provides that prisoners may
be put to work on the roads or public
buildings or other public work under
the direction of state and county Off

MISS ROSA McAHAN OF BUTTE
How After Two Years She Found q
Remedy for Dandruff

Miss Rosa McAhan of 211 West
Quartz street, Butte, Mont, SAYS:
"Herpicide has thoroughly cleansed my
scalp Of dandruff, with which it was
entirely covered; and it has stopped
my falling hair. I have tried many
different preparations in the past two
years, but none took effect except
Newbro's Herpicide." Dandruff is a
germ disease and Herpicide Is an in
fallible destroyer of the germ. De-
stroy the cause, you remove the eff

your druggist for Herpicide. 1t ia a

loses any money IN the IrdnSdCClOn.
If I were asked the question how
much money the Kansas state inspec-
ton department has cost the elevator
men of the state of Kansas in the last
three years 1 would be forced to make
my estimate at from one-haf to one
million dollars: hence, you will see that
the sec, 664. SO which your inspection de-
partment has lost in the last four years
is really insignificant.
During the Grain Dealers convention
at Kansas City 1 talked to a great
many grain dealers-and with the ex-
ception of but one, 1 find that they are
very much dissatisfied with the inspec-
practically the same as 1 have stated
above. For your information viii
state that this one gentleman that did
not agree with us was a terminal ele-
vator man situated in Kansas.
1 don't believe that the grain dealers
of Kansas are unreasonable-and with
all that I have talked to say that the
inspection department has not been
giving the country shipper a fair deal.
We also note that you mention your
department has authority to enforce
inspections on grain that goes through
Kansas City, Kan. I really doubt If
your department has authority to in
spect grain that I ship to Kansas City,
Mo-, and order it delivered to the Mis-
souri, side, or grain that 1 ship to st.
Louis, or New York city, or Liverpool
have not done this, but must take is
sue with you on your statement. I
don't take issue with you on your au-
thority but I do take issue with you on
the fairness of that proposition
AS to the next to the last paragraph
in your letter in which you take shot
at Secretary Smiley believe it was en-
tirely uncalled for. I have talked TO
Mr.. Smiley personally concerning the
Kansas state inspection department
and have found him to be very fair IN
all of his statements concerning the de-
partment. I have not received any
written information or suggestions
from Mr.. Smiley concerning the depart
ment; and as stated before I believe
your statement written as it was is en-
tirely uncalled for.
Again as to the charges for inspection
will state I am perfectly willing to pay
you so cents a car or would be willing
to make it dollar a car or go to the
extremes and make it two dollars a car,
providing you will give the proper
grades on the whefk we ship to Kansas
City. This has not been done and has
cost the company I am in this season
no less than eight to ten thousand dol
lars.
Yours for adequate inspection fees
and better inspection,

new INSANE HOSPITAL.
Its Location May Be Determined Next
Week.

AS soon as Charles D. Shukers' as
sistant attorney general becomes
member of the state board of control
next Monday the board will be READY
to take up the propositions oftereo
by the different western Kansas towns
for the new insane hospital. The leg
islature appropriated one hundred
thousand dollars for the new hospltal
and there are eleven towns that want
to have the hospital located near
them.
Most of these towns have simply
notified the board Of control that they
wanted to be considered as applicants
for the new hospital site and have not
submitted any definite proposltlohss..
The board has announced that II
would consider only definite PROPOSE
lions as to what each city had TO OF
er in the way of land railroad IacIli-
ties and water Any western Kansas
city can fulfil the qualifications tor
climate. The following cities are in
the running: Ellsworth, scott Clty'
Great Bend, Spearville, Morton, wa
keeny, Hill City, Larned, Downs oak
ley. Ashland.
The present board did not want to
make the selection, as long as one
member was about to leave and 1t was
decided to receive all the propositions
and then after the new member cam
in the board would visit the different
sites proposed and make a decision as
to the location of the site and begin
the work of getting the plans for the
buildings.
There isn't any use for any city to
send a delegation down here to see
u.s." said Harry Bowman, chairman of
the board today what we want is
a proposition A lot of towns have
notified US that they want to get the
hospital but they haven't said what
they have to offer. The city that gets
the hospital must have excellent rail-
road facilities to begin with. Then
there must be from six hundred to one
thousand acres of land near that city
and also on the railroad so that a
switch track can be built to the hos
pital grounds. We are not particular
how far the land is from the city but
it must be on the railroad. The city
must arrange to either donate that
land, not less than a section to the
state or get an option so that it can be
purchased at a reasonable figure. 1t
must DO good land and we do not care
to pay any fancy prices if the city will
not donate it.
'"The city must show that there is
a good supply of first class water
available, an inexhaustfble supply in
fact. Any western Kansas city can
supply the climate. The board will not
go out to visit any city until they
have submitted a definite proposition
to us as to what they have to offer
Then we will visit every town and
make a choice"
