in a rational way" said Dr. Smith.
Chasing health fads is misdirected en-
ergy, and is usually fruitless, if not
often injurious. Women who follow
some particular health fad are likely to
become abnormal.
Work is a great influence in maxi
ing the beautiful and healthy woman.
An idle woman gets no healthy exer-
ure. Every woman should have some
kind Of work.
Exercise in Open Urged.
Exercise in the open Is most impor-
tant to health. Tbe farmers wife is
beginning to realize an ideal state Of
existence. To have good health and
retain good looks, a woman should get
at least eight to nine hours Of sleep.
IF she is able to take a nap late in
the afternoon, if only for few min
utes, so much the better. She should
have a sufficient amount Of outdoor
recreation or outdoor exercise every
day-at least a couple Of hours-and if
she has not a strong digestion she
should forego afternoon teas.
For people in moderate circum-
stances who lead normal lives the city
is not injurious 10 health"
Referring to women OF 90 who have
reared families and represent beauty
Of face and figure at this age, DR..
Smith said:
"A woman of 90 who has developed
character by unselhsh devotion to her

OF this Is far more beautiful tan the
unmarried woman at 80. who has not

Facts Worthy Of Careful Consideration

LAW
IS UPHELD BY
FIELDER
Constitutional, Says Attorney
General to Governor Brown,
Who Will Sign Warrants.

Attorney General Thomas s. Fielder
has rendered an opinion to Governor
Brown unfolding the constltutionality
of the new insurance law IN both points
cited to his attention by tile governor
The governor will accept the opinion
of the attorney general and sign the
warrants for salaries and expenses of
the department. which have been held
up for more than thirty days, await
ing the official opinion Of the states
legal advisor,
The constituuonality Of the new law
must now be attacked in the courts, il
anywhere, as the insurance depart
ment will proceed upon the theory that
the law is all right fundamentally.
Two Points Disputed.
The constitutionality Of the new law
bad been questioned before the gov
ernor on two points--first, that it VIC
lated the section OF the constitution
limiting to $4,000 the expenses Of the
department, and that 1t violated an
other section in permitting fees to Ger
tain officers effected.
Attorney General Fielder holds that
in neither particular is the new law
violative Of the constitution.
This decision will relieve the insur-
ance department of great embarrass-
rnent in the matter of operating the new
department, and all past due salaries
will now be paid up at once.
Governor Brown is greatly pleased
that the attorney general has found the
new law to be organically sound.

The interchangeable mileage book regulation re-
curing the exchange of coupons for tickets has been
arises because the exact facts and conditions are
not generally known
In order that the public may be correctly informed
the railway companies make the following state
ment, having full faith In the fairness of public
opinion when the matter is thoroughly understood.
An Interchangeable mileage book, as its name in
dcates, may be used for obtaining transportation
over any line party to the interchangeable book
ranqement. The coupons from these books
equivalent to cash, and to safeguard their transmits
sion to the Treasurer of each railroad company the
requirement is made for the exchange of the
Pons at ticket windows for transportation thus
causing the mileage coupons to be placed In the
hand of bonded ticket agents who must account
to the Auditing Department of each line for their
value.
No will claim that it is unreasonable for
railway company to require traveller to purchase
ticket instead of paying the money on the train.
The object of this requirement is have one man,
the ticket agent, handle the money and sell tickets
either for cash coupons from an INTERCHANGEABLE
mileage book, and thus make record of what the
Company has sold; another ma the conductor,
collect the tickets, and thus e a record Of their
use. and thereby have additional check against
the agent who must account for the purchase price
either in cash coupons
The coupons from interchangeable mileage books
represent cash. for the that they the only
evidence of claim against the railroad selling the
mileage book, and the Company accepting such cou-
pons for sale Of ticket is paid by the road selling
the mileage book only upon presentation of the &C
tual coupons. This is not always possible where the
conductor lifts the coupons the train, because
ne does not have the facilities for safeguarding
such coupons, and should they become lost, the
railroad honoring the mileage book would have no
means Of securing proper compensation for the
ice performed The necessity Of preserving each
coupon is therefore apparent.
Every we'll organized business concern adopts reg
ulatons to insure the safety of its cash.

cHEoKING UP SCHOOLS.
New Plan VIII Be Used by the Sup
erintendents.

A new plan will be used this year
by the county school superintend-
ents in Kansas for keeping a record
of each pupil in the county during
the year. BY this plan after the
records have been kept for a few
years it will be possible for each
school authority to tell at a glance
almost the record Of any pupil. But
a single page is required for each
scholar each year and the record
will not be cumbersome. but 1t has
been arranged so completely that
the superintendent will be able
to tell the progress that each child
in the county has been making dur
ing his work in all the grades.

FIRST WIFE wins
O. E. FILLY's LIFE INSURANCE
CASE ENDS.
es,-wnee yrAge Decides Thas His
Divorced Wife Takes the $4,000
Insurance Known
in Abilene. "a

When G. e. Fiily, q travelling man
man for many years and a resident
OF this city died here two years
| ago. much interest was taken in the
lsettlement Of his estate. Mrs.
Fiily known In Abilene was his sec
ond wife. His first wife was di-
vorced. The Topeka Capital tells
OF the litigation over the case;
A decision was made by Judge
A. w. Dana in Shawnee county dis
trict court Saturday whereby the
first wife of a man, from whom he
had been divorced ten years prior
to his death, was held to have a
better claim to his life insurance
than his second wife, surviving at
the time of his death.
An insurance policy of $4,000 held
in the Illinois Life Insurance COM
pany, has been in the hands of the
clerk of the district court of this
county since April II, 1911, wait
ing for decision as to whom II
belonged. The surviving wife and
the wife whom Clarence q. Filly
had divorced, each claimed his in
surance. He died in Abilene Aug
nst "a, 1910. After his death it was
discovered that Fannie E. Filly, who
had not been his wife for ten years,
was named in the policy as the bene-
ficiary of his insurance. Yesterday
Mrs. Fannie Filly was given the
money. The policy found among
Fflly's private papers, and the dupli-
cate in possession of the Illinois Life
Insurance company, both showed the
name of Fannie e. Filly as the per-
son to whom the money should be
paid.
Mrs. Clarence e. Filly, the sec.
ond, or Mrs. Mary S. Filly, filed suit
to obtain the $4,000. The first wife
of Filly made an interplea to obtain
the money, claiming to be the bene'
ficiary named. Pending decision o.

policy on which interest accumulat

Record In Heavy Trains.

Unique in the history of railroading
are the tremendous trains that have
within the past few days been made
up on the Lehigh Valley railroad. A
few days ago a train of lis cars of
coal, bound for the Bethlehem steel
works, created wonderment. Since
then the trains have constantly been
growing larger, until new record
was made when a train of 1873 coal
cars moved westward from the Perth
Anboy docks for the Mahoning yards,
for distribution to the mines. The
train was 1000 feet long, or more than
NILE and quarter and was drawn
by two locomotives, third pushing
1t is said the trains are so large be.
cause trainmen are scarce.

HOW They PROPOSE

Rosie asked. She glanced shyly at
her mother.
Mrs. Farnam looked up, a merry
twinkle dancing beneath her hazel
brows, which soon disappeared, to be
succeeded by a more steady, ques.

peared scarcely older than her daugh'
ter. In fact, the two had been mis-
taken for sisters on more occasions
than one. The widow was round
faced and plump.
The two had paused at their task
of busting and rearranging the furni
ture. In the dining-room, where they
had dropped into seats, was the con
fusion that one might expect where
an only daughter had celebrated heI

of her puckered lips and look of hur

AS the widow ceased speaking,
tear glistened in her eye. After ;

crept up to her mothers side an,
folded her arms gently about the LAT
ter's neck.
