MANY physicians have come to rea-
lie that caffeine, as daily consumed
in coffee and tea has much to do
with the causation of many ANNOYING

diagnosed and vaguely treated. It
stands to reason that this alkaIoid.
when taken in daily doses of six or
more grains, must exert. a harmful acA

digestive systems. Its action must also
modify the action of other drugs pre-
scribed by the physicians.

KANSAS WEATHER REPORT.
Summary of Weather Conditions in
July Compiled in Topeka.

A summary of the daily weather OBJ
serVations taken at the 128 weather
bureau stations in Kansas shows that
the leather during July, 1912, was I'M
usually warm and in most parts of the
state the rain was nOticeably deficient.
About the usual amount of sunshine
was received and the wind velocity av-
eraged considerably higher than that
of any previous July on record, though
there were no violent wind storms re-
ported in the state.
But five previous Ju1ys in 26 years
have averaged warmer than this month,
taking the state as a whole. No June
on record has averaged as warm and
but three AugustS have been warmer.
Temperatures were above normal in
all parts of the state, except the ex-
IRENE southwestern corner. over the
eastern half of the state the excess in
temperature averaged from degrees
to legrees. The highest temperature
recorded was Ill degrees at Anthony.
There have been but three years dur
ing the past &c when a higher tempera-
ture than this has been recorded in
Kansas in July. Nearly all stations
exce-t those in The extreme eastern
counties experienced temperatures
higher than 100 degrees. In spite OF
this. however, there were comparative
" few days or nights that were I'M
comfortably warm. The excess in tenn
perature was practically continuous at
all stations, except from the 10Th &c
the goth when there was a period OF
abnormaEy cool weather.
The rainfall was deficient in all
counties, except a few in the western
portion. The average deficiency for
the state was LAG inches, which is sc
per cent of the normal amount. The
rains were fairly we'll distributed
through the month, but unequally dis
tributed over the state. Less than two
inches of rain was received in several
south-central counties and also in the
northern tier of counties between
Nemsha and Norton counties, while
over three inches of rain fell in the
northwestern counties, in the Kaw val
ley. and also in some counties in the
southeastern portion
The rainfall over the western half
of the state during the month averaged
about the same as that over the east
ern half.
No severe storms were reported, ex-
cept 4 hail storm in the northern part
of jackson county on the 18th which
destroyed all growing crops in a strip
about six miles wide and ten miles
long. 7. b. JENNINGS,

HIGHER FARES TO WEST.
Increase of So in COlonist Rates From
Topeka.

Announcement is made in Topeka
that the one-way colonist fare this fall
from Chicago to California and the
North Pacific coast will be $3S, or SIS
over the fare last year. The rate from
Missouri river points will be $35, also
an increase of SIS.
The selling period will be Septem-
Der 25 to October 10, a second reduc-
ton in two years of fifteen days in the
time allotted
The curtailment of selling time and
the increase in fares is due to Pacific
coast terminal lines, which have car
ried on a long campaign to obtain
more money from colonist travellers.
