BEST IN AMERICA.
Says Higgins OF Kansas Criminal Pro-
cedure Law.

THE Kansas criminal procedure
law is the best in the United States, -
said William E. Higgins of Lawrence
this noon. He is chairman of the
committee which has been investigat-
ing criminal procedure for the last
two years at the instigation of the
Kansas State Bar association meeting
here this week.
THAT the defendant does not get
justice may be due to other causEs
but not to the methods of criminal
procedure" continued Mr.. Higgins.
''The attention of the citizens of
Kansas is called to the fact that what
ever other mistakes from the conse-
quences of the omission of the word
the from the Indictment, which word
omission threw out a Missouri case,
and the omission of Contrary to the
peace and dignity of the state is not
fatal in Kansas as in Missouri.
However, do not believe that this
procedure may not be improved. Con-
ditions in this state are such to
avoid a severe test of our procedure
owing to the comparative small num-
Der of criminal offenders. This pos
sibly is due to the lack of congested
centers of population and the charac-
ter and education of our people"
These ideas were also expressed in
the report read at the meeting this
morning. other members of this COM
mittee were J. c. Rupenthal, Russell,
and William Osmond. Great Bend.

A CONDITION
THAT CALLS FOR
A GOOD TONIC
An Oklahoma Woman Tells How
She Was Cured of a De-
bility That Bamed the
Doctors.

General debility is generally due to
impure blood. It's causes are worry,
oyerwork, failure of the body to regain
its health after severe sickness, lack
of nourishment from disordered di-
gestion, or some drain upon the system,
all of which result in thinning the
blood, preventing it from carrying
health and nourishment to the tissues
of the body.
There is no more perplexing trouble
than debility cases in which there is no
acute disease but iii which the patient
sinks lower and lower despite changes of
medicine and similar experiments.
That DR.. Williams Pink Pills will re-
store health under these conditions is
no speculation but the fact has been
proved in hundreds of cases similar to
that of Mrs. E. B. Bailey, of No 819
South Hudson street, Oklahoma City,
Okla. She says:
Several months ago was in gen.
eral rundown condition as the result of
a severe fall The muscles of my back
seemed to be weak and there were dull
pains through them. Ihad severe head
aches and was very nervous. kept
losing flesh and was unable to get any
refreshing sleep. Although I was up
and about the house, I was not able
to do much work.
'The doctors advised the use of lini-
ments but these gave me only temper
airy relief. AS l failed to get strong
under their treatment, decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills. could see
benefit in short time and used the
pills until cured. have been well and
have had no trouble with my back
since, so DIR. Williams Pink Pills must
surely have cured me"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are guaran-
teed to be safe and harmless to the
most delicate constitution. They do
not act on the bowels but they actually
make new blood and strengthen the
nerves. If you want good health you
must have good blood.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
ak boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Viii
Iiams Medicine Company, Schenectady,
y. Y. A booklet, Diseases of the
Blood" will be sent free upon request.

II cannot understand why so many
men have spoken Of theatrical condi-
tions as being in a bad shape. The
clientele of the better theaterS are as
ready to extend the welcoming hand to
the meritoriouS stars as it ever was
1t is the unworthy actor and actress
who are aware that change has come
Tor them.
1.-The public is taking a greater in
terest than ever in the doings of the
theater and knows the difference be-
tween the real and the unreal. In plain
language it is alive to the worthy and
the unworthy and the old condition no
longer prevails, where anyone pretend
ing to be an actor will be accepted as
Such unless that individual actually is
possessed of genius.
Unknown playwrightS have better
Opportunity today than ever before. The
comedy of romance that 1 am appearing
in this season was written by George
Bracket Seitz- Have you ever heard
of him? Possibly, you have not. Yet
he has written The Kings Came and
within fortnight after the manuscript
was read it was in rehearsal. Would
that be true if the public were not anx-
I ious to get the best and if it was not
alive to the novel?
Il expect to hear Mr.. Seitzs name
speaks of Augustus Thomas or Eugene
Walter When you see the play you
Twill understand why 1 am so enthusi-
astic. It deals in a new way with ma
teria1 that is ever of interest. I con-
slider The Kings Game as worthy Of
it's kind as was The Walls of Jericho
