Latest Kansas Events.
The eiqqest Fish Farm.

The plans which will make the
state fish hatchery of Kansas the larg-
est in the United States are being
drawn up in the engineering depart
ment of the university. Prof. L. l.
Dyche, fish and game warden was in
Lawrence recently inspecting the
progress of the work. The plans are
formulating under the direction of
Prof. Hood of the engineering school,
and when completed will provide for
a hatchery covering 100 acres of
lakes, varying from II inches to seven
feet in depth, and protected by en-
bankments five feet wide on the top.
A dozen species of fish are to be bred
in these lakes, although the principal
demand is confined to three or four
kinds. For the so or IS separate lakes
required for the hatchery, privately
owned land will have to be acquired
before work commences. Prof, Hood
has done practically all the surveying
for the proposed increased facilities
and the plans are being scaled by
senior X U. engineers.

HIS INVOCATION A SUCCESS
Actor Finally Got the Gas Man Awake
ened and Attending to His
Duties.

Years ago." says Guy Bates Post,
the actor, Il appeared in an amateur
performance of a play that had a dis
tinct religious flavor. The leading
player had studied for the ministry
and had a deep and sonorous voice. In
one of the scenes the lights were sup
posed to be turned down and a raging
storm simulated. The accompanying
lines were:
"'Oh, Lord, deliver us from the poy
ers of darkness
The leading man spoke the lines,
but darkness didn't follow. He spoke
them again, and still the stage was
Interestingly light. Finally he roared:
"'Oh, Lord, deliver us from the pow
er Of darkness, and also give that fool
gas man sense enough to turn down
the lights
"The gas lights went down and the
audience roared. "-Pittsburg Chront-

SCORES CITY GIRL TEACHER
Joseph Chapman, Jr., Of Minneapolis,
Declares Her to Be Menace to
Agricultural Prosperity.

Chicago.-"The city girl who goes
into rural communities to teach is a
menace to the agricultural future of
the nation. She strikes at the back
bone of the country's prosperity.
From her position on the rostrum
of the little red schoolhouse the
teacher from the city turns the
thoughts of her boy pupils into other
channels than those leading to the
raising of cattle and corn. The soil
will be remedied by the passage of
the consolidated rural school bill now
before the Minnesota legislature"
Joseph Chapman Jr., vice-president
of the Northwestern National bank of
Minneapolis, pictured the city girl in
this new role in a talk. His views
were expressed in a discussion of the
subject of Agricultural Education
and Vocational Training" at the week
ly luncheon of the ways and means
committee of the Chicago Association
of Commerce in the La Sale hotel
1.-The present system of education
trains boys away from the farm
said the speaker. CAS- a result of this
influence on his mind at a critical Pc
Rod, the boy fails to see later the
possibilities that lie in the scientific
development of farm land, and, believ-
ing his future lies in the city, soon
deserts the life of dlling the SOIL"
In the Enlistment of agricultural
high schools Mr.. Chapman sees the
only hope of overcoming the preju-
dice against the farm and in getting
out of the soil what it really owes to
the country. He advised Illinoisans
to take heed of the situation
Ten agricultural high schools
were provided for in Minnesota two
years ago." he said. 1In canvass of
the state we could not find enough
teachers to man the schools We had
to go to Iowa, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and other states, six states in all, to
get teachers. Ten more schools will
now be established
I've must turn back to the soil
keep close to the drift we are to
continue as a prosperous nation. In
the rural consolidated schools agricul-
ture is going to have its place"

their cause was not recognized. At

TONS Lack of rigid laws for the in
spection of foods has permitted un-
scrupulous dealers to put on the mar,
ket foods not fit for consumption, but
which, on account of their cheapness
or attractive appearance, have been
bought in large quantities by the poor
er classes. This desire to buy things
cheaply also causes people to Purchase
partly decayed fruits and vegetables.
In the warm weather too much
care cannot be exercised in the care
of food material, especially meat and
milk Many cases of poisoning are
traced to warmed-over meats which
had been kept too long, or to careless
~ kept chicken salad, or contaminated
fish.
The symptoms of poisoning are
nausea and vomiting. with sharp,
gripping intestinal pains Headache,
chilliness and dizziness often are
present. There also may be consider
able fever
The treatment is, first to clean out
the intestinal tract with a good laxa-
tive as castor oil or One-tenth grain
of calomel, taken every half hour for
ten doses, followed an hour later with
a dose of epson salts. This must be
done even though the bowels have
moved several times, for it is neces-
sary that all the irritating material be
gotten rid of. The patient should be
kept warm, heat being applied to the
feet and abdomen. Hot drinks, as
ginger tea, tend to reduce the pain
and also provide the necessary stimu-
lation. Never give pain believers"
except on the advice of a physician,
as these are usually very depressing
to the heart and may be the last
straw more than the already de-
pressed heart can stand. Do not delay
too long in sending for a physician.
as there is danger of collapse and it
may be necessary to give powerful
stimulants to tide over the crisis.

HOME
NURSING
Disorders of Children.


Diarrhoea is a disorder very com
mon among children during the au-
tumn months. 1t is attended by a
high death rate, especially with chill
dren under two years of age.
The cause is usually improper feed
ing. The common practise among
certain classes of people of feeding
young babies various articles of food
nine months baby needs nothing but
milk and is able to digest very little
else. Yet how often we see people
feeding babies coffee, potatoes, meat
and even things that are hard for a
grown person to digesti Babies fed
entirely upon milk often become sick
because proper attention has not been
given to the care of the milk and bot
ties. Cleanliness is certainly a neces-
sIty here. With older children the
diarrhoea is often caused by eating
unripe or over-ripe fruit or vegetables
The symptoms are an increased
number of bowel movements, attend
ed by gripping pains in the abdomen
They sometimes are accompanied by
vomiting, headache and fever
The treatment is first to stop all
food, and clean out the intestinal
tract. This can be done by giving an
enema or injection of warm water or
by giving a dose of castor oil. Some
people are unable to understand why
this should be done when there al
ready have been numerous bowel
movements. The diarrhoea is caused
by some food that is remaining in the
intestine and setting up an irritation
The irritating material must be re-
moved before we can overcome the
diarrhoea and we do this by means
of an enema or dose of laxative. The
child then should be kept quiet and
warm. Heat applied to the feet and
abdomen often will relieve the pain
A little peppermint water may be
given to aid in expelling the gases,
but nothing else should be given ex-
cept on the advice of physician.
Paregoric and various pain believers
should not be given as they may be
very injurious. Many deaths are at
trfbuted to various soothing syrups
which contain harmful drugs. After
the attack is over care should be taken
with the diet. At first give only lit
tie rice water or barley water.
In young babies, collie and diarrhoea
often are caused by giving sugar in

the same as an older person. Milk
does not quench this thirst, so it
should be give- - little warm water
several times a day Many mothers
are not content to let well enough
alone and put little sugar in the wa
ter. This forms gas and causes collie
and diarrhoea. In giving peppermint
water to young babies it is not neces-
sary to add sugar. Of course the pep
permint water should be very weak,
In the proportion of one or two drops
of the essence to cup of warm wa
ter. The baby will take only about d
teaspoonful of this mixture in drop
doses. The majority of deaths from
summer diarrhoea might have been
prevented by a little care with the
diet

Hog Ate His Money.

Kansas hog that, ION the hoof,"
was worth upwards of $2,7O0, but
dressed was worth only the compare
lively insignificant amount repre-
sented by upwards brought about
the visit to Washington of JeI emiah
Quinn, farmer living near Coffey-
vile. Quinn brought with him a mass
that one might mistake for a handful
of breakfast food. 1t is, he says. as
matter of fact, the -'unearned in
crement' that was represented in the
value of his hog ION the hoof'' Quinn
has his eye fixed on the Washington
pork barrel but, according to his
story, with far more right than can
be said of many who view that recep-
tacle for the public funds. He says
he can prove that his hog bounced
upon and devoured his $1,000 bank
roll when he dropped it in the pen
while feeding the animal. If he can
prove this to the satisfaction of the
treasury department he doubtless will
be reimbursed.

Plans to Raise Endowment.

Following closely upon the decision
to abandon plans for the amalgama-

College of Emporia came a message
from the National Congregational
Education society offering Paramount
an endowment of $4,000, paying So
900 each year toward the running ex-
penses of the college, provided that
the college raised it's other endow-
ment to $4,000 and pay all debts. At
a meeting of the board of trustees H.
W. Darling. who has done much for
the school in time past, donated $1O,-
