When the springs Of an automatic
valve become weak they may be
strengthened by inserting thin strips
of brass. or other metal. between the
spring and the spider of the valve cage.
A spring thus strengthened may be
tested against another spring known to

stems together and pressing the cages
toward each other. The metal liners
can then be put in place until the valves
both unseat equally. indicating that the

Charity Institutes Given State Aid.

The Kansas State Board of Control
today distributed $1,000 to fifty-five
charitable institutions of the state.
This is the first annual distribution or
charity funds to various hospitals,
homes for orphans and friendless, and
rescue homes.
In years gone by the appropriations
for charity work were made by the leg
islature for each institution directly
but the 1911 legislature appropriated
$4,000 a year for this purpose and d.
rected the state board Of control to
distribute it,
The board requires a showing from
every institution as to the charity
work It does before state aid is grant
ed. Most of the institutions were also
visited by members or representatives
of the board.

Uraes Small Mesh Screens.

If you are afraid of sand-flies, the
supposed distributors of pellagra, put
small-meshed screens on your homes.
That is the advice which DR.. 5. j.
Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas
state board of health gave in response
to a question as to what he suggests
should be done to protect against the
insects. But" said the doctor, Il
don't want it understood that this de-
partment recognizes finally that the
sandy Is the cause of pellagra. Sew
eral prominent scientists thank that
pellagra is distributed by this little
insect, and the matter is being stud
led carefully. The best scientific
thought now inclines to the belief that
pellagra is carried by sand-flies. That
being the theory now, my advice Is
that in communities near which sand
flies have been found, the people
tightly screen their houses, using a
smaller mesh than in ordinary screens.
This will keep sand-flies out OF the
house, and will stop other insects as
we'll.

K. s. A. c. Helps Farmers.

Farmers who have been having
trouble finding markets for their pro-
duce should write to the Kansas State
Agricultural college for help. That in
stitution has sort of clearing house
for the buyers and sellers of farm pro-
duce. The clearing house" at the ag-
ricultural college was planned and put
in operation last year by c. V. Hois-
niger, horticulturist with the extension
department, and it is a success.
This department will be glad to tell
you where you can market your goods
at the least expense to you. 1t makes
no difference where you live, whether
it is on the Rock Island, the Union
Pacific, the Central Branch or wher'
ever it Is, list of the most reputable
buyers along all railroads in Kansas
has been compiled for your benefit
and it is free for the asking. This
clearing house" will tell you which
markets are the most convenient for
YOU and which can be reached the
quickest. And it will gladly answer
questions about picking, packing and
shipping.
Much valuable farm produce is vast
ed every year in Kansas for want of
convenient market. Some producers
know no other market than the home
town and when it becomes glutted
with a certain kind of produce, mar
keting stops. 1t was to help in the
distribution of this produce that the
AGRICULTURAL college last year institute
ed this clearing house"

was held Tuesday, September IL.
Each governor had been requested to
talk upon some subject of general inn

the workingman's compensation act
passed by the last legislature. Tho
governor believes this is an excellent

Her husband must not know. Annie
