No young woman, IN the joy OF
coming motherhood, should neglect
to prepare her system for the physi.
cal ordeal she In to undergo. The
health of both herself and the coming
child depends largely upon the care
she bestows upon herself during the
waiting months. Mothers Friend
prepares the expectant mothers sys-
tenn for the coming event, and its use
makes her comfortable during all the
term. It works with and for nature,
and by gradually expanding all It's
sues, muscles and tendons, involved,
and keeping the breasts in good con-
dition, brings the woman to the crisis
In splendid physical condition. The

Former Congressman May Be Publicity
Manager Taft Campaign.

That Charles F. Scott of lola has
been offered the position of publicity
manager for the Taft campaign, was
verified today by D. V. Mulvane,
manager of the western branch of the
Taft headquarters. Scott has not
stated whether he will accept the ap-
pointment and while in Topeka last
night discussed the matter with Mr.
Mulvane.
The appointment of Scott followed
his work for the cause in the Second
district. AS publisher of the lola Reg
lister. Scott has been power for the
Republican forces in his district and
state. When announcement was made
that western headquarters would be
opened in Chicago by the Taft follow
ers. d. w. Mulvane of Topeka was
named as manager. Then began a
search for lieutenants, who have been
named from a half dozen western
states. Headquarters will be opened
in the Auditorium hotel about August
2 and publicity manager is yet to be
named From among the list of sew
eral dozen widely known publishers
Scott was selected as the man to direct
the news end of the campaign. When
Scott left Topeka this morning, he
stated that he had not decided what
action he would take concerning his
appointment.

The Topeka Motorcycle club has taken
official action condemning the cannon
era cker skyrocket system of riding
their machines. The club held its meet
ing in the Commercial club rooms
where the ell >vator travels only one
story a minute and where the chairs
are fastened to the fioor-therefore they
were in a perfectly rational mood When
adopting their resolutions.
The Topeka Motorcycle club? You
never have heard of it? You have
missed a link in Topeka's civic pride
chain.
Listen:
The Topeka Motorcycle club in a re-
cent national contest held by the Fed
Grafton of American Motorcyclists, won
the first prize in a contest for new
members The Topeka organization
procured more new members in four
months than any other club in the
United States

The Topeka club has been chosen TO
relay message one-fourth the way
across the state of Kansas in an ocean

soon. The motorcycles will start at Los
Angeles and relay across the country to
New York City. An attempt will be
made to cover the distance in 10 days.
The best riders in the country have

A funny combination for such dis

But the Topeka Motorcycle club is
doing good work. 1t is heading
to tame the speediacs
Searching on the Topeka streets will
be discouraged. An effort will be made
to sign up every one of the $50 riders
in the city. The town is advertised
through the good work of the club. The
members are clean young fellows who
are wrapped up in the sport. There
IS something to them besides noise,

The regular Saturday evening suf-
frage meeting will be held tonight at
City park. There will be a program
of speeches and music.
Mrs. Lucia o. Case has returned
from a weeks lecture trip in the
southern part of the state. She at
tended the old settlers picnic at
Wheaton and made two suffrage ad-
dresses. She was told that the SEN
timent of the people in and about
Wheaton was strong for the amend
ment. She went to Havensville and
spoke at combined concert AMI
Eastern Star picnic, and there, Also
she was assured of a good majority
for the Acknowledgement amendment.
At the meeting in Winfield, Pinchcc
lectured on the conservation of the
forests, and Mrs Lister of Winfield
and Mrs. Case of Topeka were also on
the program for suffrage speeches.
The Good Governme nt club has ap-
pointed the last week in August as
"self-lenial' week but already many
of the women have begun to practice
the remuneration of little luXuries and

Home Journal, and will give the price
of the magazine to the suffrage
cause. Another woman will sell her
handsome new japanese kimono. The
first week in September the club will
meet and the members will tell, III
rhyme how their money was saved.
The literature that the Good Govern
ment club printed lately, is being
asked for in different towns over the
state. The leaflets are interesting and
new, and suffrage workers in the state
are making good use of them.
The cIub win have a 1arCa font Of

Fifty thousand persons in Topeka
the entire population including the

rider is a speed maniac. They will in
sist that his ambition in life is to split
huge cracks in the atmosphere-not the

crash through Topeka's quiet streets
like Ichabod Crane.
They will go on the witness stand and
with their right hand pointing to the
court house tower, swear that a motor
cyclist has no such attachment as a
muff1er to his machine. They will de-
clare that the speediacs would rather
snap a chunk off your coat tail while
crossing the street than drink
gasoline. They will describe pop-pop
rider as human being who goes sput-
tering, banging and sizzling through
life like a skyrocket on the Fourth of

conclude that as far-S the state OF
Massachusetts is concerned typhoid
could not be said to be rural dis

1908, but was on the contrary dis
tinctIy more prevalent in urban
communities. In Conhecticut a sim

Hampshire it appeared that there

groups. Before 1890. as these au-
thors point out, typhoid deaths in
both Massachusetts and Con1ecti-
cu+ were more prevailed improper
ton to the population in the coun-
try than in the city districts.
1t is not difficult to understand
these results. The death rate fro32
tphoid fever depends more on other
factors than on city and country
conditions as such a large city
with polluted water supply may
maintain a constantly higher ty-
phoid fever rate than the adjacent
country towns and rural districts
On the other hand a city with
good water supply, a pasteurlzeo

Dhofd for the year 1912 as Chicago
and Cleveland.
Improper methods of disposing OF
excreta in the country, with the at

would seem to favor the spread OF
tvphoid fever in rural districts, Out
