EGG DOCTORS ARE KEPT BUSY
Kansas Is the Chief Patient in Ma
tion-Wide Campaign.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The active
campaign for the improvement of
farm eggs in the middle west, under
taken last summer by the bureau of
animal industry of the United States
department of agriculture, is to be
continued. This work was preceded
by general survey of the field in the
spring of 1908, which showed that an
enormous loss was being sustained an
nually as the result of spoiled and
deteriofated eggs. This loss results.
from the ignorance, carelesSness or in :
diference of the farmer and from the.
dliatory and unsatisfactory methods
of marketing in vogue. The actual
money loss is suffered mainly by the
farmer, while the loss in quality is
borne by the consumer.
The campaign of the last summer
had for its ultimate end the improve
ment of conditions surrounding the
handling and MARKETING of eggs. and
consequently the improvement of the
quality of the egg itself as it reaches
the consumer.
The efforts have so far been direct
ed mainly to education in better meth
DDS, cooperation with egg buyers and
state authorities and experimentation.
The actual work has been done mostly
in Kansas by department field men
going among the farmers and impress
ing upon them the necessity of keeping
eggs intended for market in a cool
dry place and of marketing them ire
Quently.
Incidentally, they have given the
FARMERS help whenever possible in the
practical management and breeding
of poultry and have urged the keeping
of pure bred poultry.
The bureau sought and obtained the
cooperation of the egg buyers of
Kansas and as a result the 'loss off,
or quality system of buying was
brought into use. BY this system bad
eggs are rejected and only good eggs
paid for. The state food authorities
also co-operated by prosecuting under
existing state law cases where bad
eggs were sold. On account of the
material Improvement effected in the
Kansas eggs the movement has spread
to adjacent states and efforts are be-
ing made to obtain uniform legisla-
ton. 1t is proposed to continue the
work in Kansas the coming summer.

STUDENT GAMBLERS SCARED.
May Be Suspended or Expelled From
University at Lawrence.

Lawrence, Kan, Feb. 2S.-The fac
u1ty of the University of Kansas is
greatly scandalized by the discovery
that several of the students have been
spending unusual amounts of money
and that the money was acquired by
skill at playing poker.
An investigation was begun and
Prof. Carl Becker, head of the discip-
1inary committee of the faculty, now
has the names of more than thirty-five
that he has not yet obtained the names
of all the players, but is adding a
name or two to the list every day.
AS a result, the devotees of the
great American game among the stu
dents are exhibiting alarm and the
purring of the f1gurative kitty is no
longer heard in the quarters where the
poker players used to corgregate
Just what action Professor Becker
plans to take is not known. He has
refused to tell. 1t is limited, however,
that the evidence the professor has
gathered is, in some cases, deemed
sufficient to warrant the expulsion of
some Of the sharks" 1t is likely that
some of them will be suspended.
Gossip among the students is that
some of the students who were ad-
mitted to the poker sessions were poor
losers and through them the faculty
has obtained the names of most of the
players.
The gossip is that the games started
out with penny ante, but the pots
with that ante were too small to work
up much excitement over and the ante
was raised in some games to anywhere
from five cents to a dollar, according
to the means of the players. 1t was
some of the players who lost all their
spending money in the big games who
told about the poker playing. it is said.
rive purpose to stamp out this card
playing evil" Professor Becker said
this morning. when the students be-
gin to neglect their studies to gamble
at poker and when some of the players
lose considerable sums of money it is
time for action. We purpose to put an
immediate stop to it and we do not
purpose to permit it TO be started
again"

WILL BRING a THIRD SUIT.
Burton Woman Wants Damages
From Former Mayor.

Burton, Kan, Feb. 2S.-A motion
for q new trial has been filed in the
long drawn out legal battle of Mrs.
Grace Michael against former Mayor
o. e. Matson of Burton. This will be
the third trial of the case should the
court grant the motion. While mayor
of Burton Mr.. Matson felt he had
reason to suspect Mrs. Michael of the
illegal selling of liquor and employed
Judge f. L. Martin of Hutchinson to
prosecute her.
Later the county attorney dismiss
ed the liquor case Then she sued
T-atson and because the county attor-
ney had been elevated to the bench
of the district court of Harvey county
and thereby disqualified to preside in
the case, lit was removed to Sedgwick
county and tried in the October term
of court.
Judge Wilson instructed the jury if
they returned verdict For Mrs.
Michael at all it should be sufficient
to cover attorney fees.
The jury, ignoring the Instructions
of the court, returned a verdict for
81, which Judge Wilson set aside as
a compromise verdict and ordered a
new trial.
The second trial took place last
week and the jury returned for the
defendant, Mr.. Matson, and now at
torneys for Mrs. Michael file motion
for the third trial, asking $500 dam
ages.

ORDER STEEL LINED WAR CARS
Mexico Orders 100 Army Cruisers
Unique Construction.

Mexico City, Feb. 2S.-Steel lined
war cars are to be made a part of the
permanent equipment of the war de-
partment. The government recently
placed an order with the Consolidated
Iron &c Equipment company of this
city for the immediate construction of
100 of these cars, and a large force
of men are working day and night in
the shops of the company in the
PeralviIlo suburb building the cars, in
accordance with the plans and speci-
fications of General Manuel Mondra-
gon, military engineer and chief of
artillery. A number of these cars
have already been finished and sent
north to the disturbed districts in the
states of Chihuahua and Durango,
where they will serve as moving for
tresses for the federal troops.
Each of these cars is provided with
seventy-six port holes upon its two
broadsides for the use of the inside
gunners, and at each end are port
holes for rapid fire guns. The exterior
of the cars is painted in alternate
stripes of white and black. The port
holes are in the black stripes and are
hard to distinguish. at a distance. The
cars are lined with heavy sheet steel,
and between this metal and the out
side wooden wall is inches of sand.
Demonstrations showed that the bull
lets of modern army rifles can not
penetrate the walls of these cars.

ROCK ISLAND EARNINGS GAIN
Gain of 40 Per Cent Or $25O,OOO in
January

January
Gross earnings of the Chicago, Rock
Island & Pacific in January were ap-
proximatel~ $25O,0O0, or 40 per cent
better than last year, and as a result
of better operating conditions, despite
the higher wages and fuel costs, oper-
ating expenses were kept down to
about the level of 1910 producing an
Improvement in net operating income
of about $250,000 or 33 per cent.
Results for the seven months were
a gain of over $4,000. 900 or about 5
per cent in gross, and approximately
1918, 900, or 2 per cent. in operating
income.
Returns for the first two weeks in
February show no improvements in
gross over 1910, owing to heavy falling
off in movement of coal all other
classes of traffic, excepting live stock,
which was practically unchanged,
showing a highly satisfactory improve
mert over last year. The heavy decline
in coal shipments, it is explained, is
due to the fact that at this season last
ticipation of the strike inaugurated in
the middle west and western coal fields
on April 1 caused an abnormal move
ment in that commodity. while, as a
result of the mild winter this year
shipments have been unusually light.
From April until early in September,
however, which will correspond with
the periods during which the mines
were closed down in 1910, a substan-
tiaI increase may be witnessed.

A CONDITION
THAT CALLS FOR
A GOOD TONIC
An Oklahoma Woman Tells How
She Was Cured of a De-
biIity That Ba@ed 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 a severe sickness, lack
of nourishment from a 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 in which the patient
sinks lower and lower despite changes of
medicine and similar experiments.
That DIR. 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. f. B. Bailey, of No $40
South Hudson street, Oklahoma City,
Okla. She says:
Several months ago I was in a 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. I kept
losing flesh and was unable to get any
refreshing sleep. Although | was up
and about the house, l was not able
to do much work
1.-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, I decided to try
DIR. Williams Pink Pills l 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.

all druggists, or will be sent, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
nix boxes for $3.50, by the DR.. Will

pluses and Shortages, issued by the
American Railway association, bring
ing the figures down to February Is.
There is further increase in the sur
plus of cars, amounting to 1924 cars,
which makes the total of surplus
freight equipment now 1860. There
was practically no change in the box
car surplus, the increase being entire
ly in coal and miscellaneous equip
ment.
The surplus at present is about
three times as large as for the same
period last year, the greatest differ
ence being in coal cars, of which
class. says the report, there was a very
small excess in February, 1910. 1t is
probable that the difference is due less
to a reduced traffic than to the COM
parative freedom from congestion
which has been the result of favor
able weather conditions existing dur
ing the present winter.

LOSS IN GROSS EARNINGS IN U. S.
Early February Returns Shows De-
crease of o. Per Cent.

For the first time in many months
loss is shown by the early February
gross earnings of all roads in the
United States, compared with the year
before Aggregate gross earnings of
all United States roads reporting for
the first week in the month amount
to $7,612,837, a loss of GA per cent
as compared with the earnings of the
same roads for the corresponding
period a year ago, according to Dun's
Review. While the decrease is very
small, and possibly to some extent due
to adverse climatic conditions in diff
ferent parts of the country, it is
shared in by number of roads that
for a considerable period have been
steadily reporting gains. On the other
hand number of important systems
continue to make satisfactory returns,
