DISARMAMENT ONLY A DREAM
Major General Wood Takes No Stock
in World Peace and Wants
Army Reserve.

Washington.-"Di Disarmament of ma
lions is a dream" declared Major Gen
eral Wood, chief of staff of the United
States army, before the house com
mittee on military affairs. In oppos'
ing a change in the term of enlist
ment from three to five years General
Wood urged as an alternative his plan
for the establishment of a permanent
reserve corps of regular soldiers who
have been retired after three years of
service. He declared that the army
should be on stronger war basis not
withstanding the persistent movement
for disarmament and permanent peace
through arbitration.
With the establishment of a reserve
corps there would be within call of
the war department within seven
years 100000 men.

MADERO NAMES A CABINET
Now Complete-The Capture Of

dero.
Minister of War-Venustiano Car
rama.
Minister of Interior-F. Gonzales

In the capture of Juarez Madero Sc
cured about. 1000 Mauser rifles, 5OO,-
600 rounds of ammunition, two ma

and his military men figure that the
efficiency of the army, aside from the
advantage of holding Juarez has been

The REBEL ARMY IN JUAREz
1T IS NOW THE PROVISIONAL
CAPITAL OF MEXICO.
After a Battle Lasting Three Days
the Federal Garrison Surrendered
to Madero's Men.

Ciudad Juarez, MeXico-This lit
tie bulletriddled city is the provision
al capital of Mexico, and Francisco l.
Madero, Jr, provisional president, and
his staff have taken complete posses
sion after winning the bloodiest bat
tie of the Mexican revolution.
The actual surrender of the town by
Gen. Navarro took place at about l
O'Clock, Gen. Navarro givinC his
sword to Col. Garbaldi of the insur-
recto army, after the rebels had COM
pletely surrounded the barracks and
threatened to annihilate the garrison
within. His eyes dimmed as he sur
rendered but Col Garibaldi, with a
handshake that bespoke his sincere
admiration for the brave fight the fed
eral leader had made, assured him OF
the desire of the rebels to afford him
every courtesy
The capture of Juarez becomes not
only the most lustrous victory of the
insurrectos and the greatest battle of
lhC lCpClllOl, Dul III duuibiOh SA' VI
to the anti-government forces the
most important strategic point and
greatest port of entry on the border.
The capitulation of Juarez in fact,
gives to the rebels complete control
of the border, not an important port
of entry is missing, From this time
forward far more ambitious mill
tary program can be carried out than
was possible hitherto, indeed, the ad-
vance on Mexico City is no longer the
dream of the visionary and it is this
which now apparently menaces the
government of Diaz.
The insurrectos captured consider
able stores of provisions, field and ma
chine guns, rifles and ammunition.
Rebel soldiers could be seen every
where loaded down with the arms OF
the vanquished.

Would Render Kansas "Bone Dry"

John Marshall, attorney for the Kan
sas board of railroad commissioners,
has prepared, at the request of F. s.
Jackson, congressman from the Fourth
district, a bill by which the govern
ment would restrict the shipment OF
intoxicating liquor from one state to
another. Mr.. Jackson will introduce
the bill at the present session Of con-
gress.
Mr.. Marshall formerly was attorney
for the Kansas Temperance Union and
was assistant attorney general under
Mr.. Jackson. The measure, if 1t
should become law, would make Kan
sas "bone dry" even though the state
Is very arid right now 1t prohibits
any person, express company, railroad
or common carrier from receiving for
shipment, shipping or delivering, any
intoxicating liquors. A violation is
counted a misdemeanor and is made
punishable by fine of not less than
$500 nor more than $4,000.
However, shipments would not be
prohibited to states where saloons are
legal, neither is shipment or delivery
prohibited to physicians and surgeons,
nor to manufacturers engaged in pro-
ducing articles requiring alcohol in
their manufacture. But saloons are
not legal in Kansas, and the state law
absolutely forbids any doctor or drug
store selling intoxicating liquors.
In states where saloons ar legalized
it will, however, be impossible for any
express or railroad company to ship
or deliver intoxicating liquors to a pri-
vate citizen, on the ground that pri-
vate citizens has no authority from
the state to sell liquor, unless engaged
in that specific business.

Exceeded His Authority.

The state live stock sanitary COM
mission has no authority to appoint a
deputy commissioner in any county in
Kansas, under the decision of the SUI
preme court, in the suit of James B.
Moore against Charles w. Wilson and
John B. Baker in an appeal from Sher-
man county. Baker appointed Wilson
a deputy live stock commissioner and
Wilson put a quarantine on Moore's
cattle, declaring mango affected the
herd. After no mango was found
Moore brought suit to collect damages.
No damages were allowed in the lower
court, but the supreme court sent the
case back with instructions to tell the
jury in the new trial that Wilson had
no authority to order the quarantine.

Two Hospitals Get Certificates.

The state board Of control has IS
sued certificates to the Bethany hos
pital of Kansas City, Kan, and the st.
Vincent's hospital at Leavenworth,
granting authority to these hospitals
to solicit funds for their support out
side their own counties. The legisla-
ture passed law prohibiting any char
liable or benevolent institution solic-
iting funds in more than the home
county without a permit from the
board of control. The first two GER
tificates have just been granted the
two institutions.

FEED YOUNG GIRLS
Must Have Right Food While Growing.

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is
Just merging into womanhood that the
diet shall contain that which is up
building and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure Is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on the other hand un-
healthy cells may be built in and a.
sick condition slowly supervene which,
If not checked, may ripen into
chronic condition and cause lifelong
suffering.
A young lady says:
Coffee began to have such an effect
on my stomach a few years ago that
finally quit using it. 1t brought on
headaches, pains in my muscles, and
nervousness.
4 tried to use tea in it's stead, but
found its effects even worse than those
suffered from coffee. Then for long
time drank milk at my meals, but at
last it palled on me. A friend came to
the rescue with the suggestion that
try Postum.
81 did so, only to find at first, that
didn't fancy it. But had heard of so
many persons who had been benefited
by its use that persevered, and when
l had it made right-according to d.
rections on the package found 1t
grateful in favour and soothing and
Strengthening to my stomach. / can
find no words to express my feeling
of what owe to Postum!
I'm every respect it has worked a
wonderful improvement - the head
aches, nervousness, the pains in my
side and back, all the distressing
symptoms yielded to the magic power
of Postum. My brain seems also to
share in the betterment of my phys
ical condition.; it seems keener, more
alert and brighter. ! am, in short, In
better health now than for a long
while before, and l am sure / owe It

by a person who had previously
threatened his life, not only admitted

1t is probable that a test suit will
be brought shortly to test he law pass
ed by the 1911 legislature permitting
the bank commissioner and the state
charter board to determine when new
state banks can be started and when
there is a necessity for additional
state banks in any town. John S.
Dawson, attorney general, and ]. N.
Dolley, bank commissioner, had a
wordy controversy over the law at
the meeting of the charter board. The
attorney general held that the bank
commissioner had no authority to stop
the organization of banks. The bank
commissioner contended that the law
was good and that he had the author
ity.

To Organize Fly Swat Campaign.

An effort to divert the energy OF the
boy scouts all over Kansas to the bust
ness of "swatting the fly" is being
made. Dr. S. ]. Crumbine, secretary
Of the state board of health, and chief
fly-swatter in Kansas, has called to
Topeka Walter Burr, of Olathe, who
is a boy scout enthusiast. If the or
ganization of the boys of the state is
effected, Mr.. Burr is the man who
will do the job.
The idea started at Wier City when
the boy scouts organized to put the fly
out of business. They sent a latter
to DR.. Crumbine asking for the plan
of battle. That gave DR.. Crumbine an
idea and he has been looking around
for the right man to put his idea into
execution. Mr.. Burr appears to be the
man. Mr. Burr has organized the boys
of Olathe into a company of scouts
and has a membership of about fifty.
He has been remarkably successful
with the boys and the plan is to sick
the boys on the flies"

County Attorneys Interested in Custer

The county attorneys of the state
appear to be greatly interested in the
new custer law passed by the last
legislature Charles Sessions, secre-
tary of state, is being flooded with let
tiers asking for advance copies of the
law before the statute books are out.
This law gives the county attorney au-
thority to GUST county and township Of
ficials for negligence Of duty. But it
also gives the attorney general author
ity to GUST county attorneys for negli-
gence of duty. The question raised Is
whether the county attorneys want to
use the law on somebody else or
whether they want to see what they
must do to keep out from under it.
