Aid to Perfect Health.

That the body may be in a per-

is necessary that the various organs
perform their natural functions in
the regular manner,
This is particularly true OF the
liver, the principal work of which
is the separation of various poison
Gus materials from the blood. I'm
less these are withdrawn and dis
posed Of, they are re-absorbed into
the system, resulting in gradual

BERT HOCKENSMITH WON
RACE WITH BROKEN SULkY

Riding in an aeroplane is sensa-
tional enough, but when it comes
to balancing a sulky on one wheel
and winning race, 1t goes 1t one bet
ter. At the races at Salina this
week Mr.. Hockensmith's horse, Belle
of Diamond Creek won the 2:1S
trot purse of $500, the fastest heat
being 2:16A. During the third heat
of the race another horse in the
race made break near the three
quarter post and put one Of its front
feet through one Of the wheels Of
Mr.. Hockensmith's sulky. Bert went
the remainder of the heat with one
wheel and won it, too.
Ray Star got a half of first and
second money in a $500 purse. Bert
takes Belle of Diamond Creek to lola
next week and Ray Star goes to Nc

YOU MUST DRY YOURSELF
ON PAPER TOWELS NOW.

Along with your private drinking
cup you would better add a towel
for yesterday the ban went on the
roller towel in public places. The
public, which has been accustomed
to the use of the roller towel on
trains, in hotels and other public
places, must now resort to the use
of paper towels.
The Abilene hotels have not done
away with their roller towels. They
think it a foolish idea and are going
to take a few days of grace to see
If DR.. Crumbine is in earnest. How
ever, they believe that the individual
towel is satisfactory but mighty
expensive luxury.
Inquiries at the offices of the local
railroads, today, revealed the fact
that some of the railroads abandoned
the public towel some time ago, while
all others discontinued the towel
yesterday.
In some of the cars Individual tow
els are used as in Pullmans. In
others the paper towels are used >
Railroad officials said today that the
paper towels were far from salts

bonus to any one who can invent
satisfactory paper towel.
