LODGE and Banks Differ.

Atchison, Kan.-E. c. Heck, field
man for the A. o. U. w. lodge, says
the head lodge will lose nothing
through the shortage of NJ. NJ. Mishler,
who committed suicide after his defal-
cations had been discovered. 'Mish-
lers shortage now amounts to about
$4,000 or $4,000" said Mr.. Heck,
land banks that cashed drafts on
which he wrote names of supposed
beneficiaries will have to stand the
losses" The First National Bank Of
Atchison cashed one $4,000 draft and
others were cashed in Kansas City
and Excelsior Springs. A suit has al
ready been started against Winfield
bank, one of the lodges repositories.
Local bankers say Jne lodge must
make good the fraudulent drafts, and
the banks involved may combine to
fight the matter in the courts.

Wants Hunters to Help.

Prof. Il. l.. Dyche state fish and
game warden, is anxious that the hunt
ers of Kansas should offer some sug-
gestions for increasing the game in
Kansas. Prof. Dyche Is planning to
present some sort of plan to the leg
islature for helping the hunters and
he wants to get as many SUGGESTIONS as
possible 81 have let the contracts for
all the work of the new fish hatchery
and will complete it and have money
to spare" said Prof. Dyche. When
took charge of this work and ever
since l have been receiving about 20
letters about fish to. one about game.
The fish hatchery work is going along
nicely and want to take up some prop.
osition to help the hunters next.
Game farms and game preserves have
been suggested. The game farms in
the eastern states were not successful.
The game preserves are a success, but
Kansas hasn't any wild and waste
lands available for game preserves. Al
most every foot of Kansas land Is Gull
tivated and all of it is under fence. A
state where all the land is cultivated
is not a good place for game. l want
to start some plan for increasing the
game in Kansas, but l want some ideas
of the hunters themselves before
complete any plans. 1t has been sug-
gested to set apart a township or two
in each county as game bird preserves
and prohibit hunting within the re-
serve for a certain number of years
and then open it and establish new
preserve in another township. The
birds would multiply rapidly in this
restricted area and thousands would
fly out of it each year. The birds
that left the preserve could be killed.
This might be one way of i easing
the game, but want oth' sgestions
and will work out my plans from
them"

MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND
REMEDIES HAVE BEEN SENT
Many Have Remedies and Cures Fol-
Horse Diseases That Has Infest-
The State.

More than one thousand alleged
remedies and cures for the horse
plague have been submitted to Cover
nor Stubs since he offered a reward
of one thousand dollars for cure
for the disease. The offer was made
September and ever since every mail
has brought dozens of the remedies
and eight or ten persons called in per-
son to explain the cure.
The whole bundle of prescriptions
and the medicines sent by the makers
were shipped to the state agricultural
college to be tried out. The veteri-
narians at the college will check over
the cures and see if any are really
worth while and will experiment with
them. The experience of the college
authorities has been that there is no
cure but there is a preventive. The
college has a vaccine which prevents
the disease and possibly some Of the
numerous cures may be useful in this
regard.
The cures varied from pouring a
mixture Of turpentine and water into
theee ears of the animals to giving a
mixture of a. dozen or so drugs. Many
of the drugs prescribed are poisons
and act just the opposite to what is
wanted in handling the plague Some
of. the drugs are very powerful. While
no particular attention was paid to
duplicates there are only three cures
duplicated in the thousand submitted.
Many prescriptions were almost the
same but there were little changes in
different ways of administering them.
About one-third of the cures sub
mitted were sent in by women. Very
few cures were submitted by veter-
inarians and only one or two by ply
sicians.

KANSAS TOPICS
HORSE PLAGUE PREVENTIVE
VACCINE is FREE TO ALL
The Kansas Agricultural College Max
ing 5000 to 5000 Doses Daily
Good Results Obtained.

Manhattan, Kan.-Vaccine 10 pre-
in several states will DE shipped into
the infected districts, free, by the Kan
sas Agricultural college. The field Sta
ton of the college at Hoxie, working
night and day, is making the VACCINE
at the rate of 5000 to 5000 doses every
twenty-four hours. of 5000 horses vac
cinated at this station with this vac
cine, only nineteen died. Two-fifths Of
the animals vaccihated were from
herds in which many animals had
died.
while we do not consider this con-
elusive proof that the bacterin W II
prevent the disease in all cases, we do
believe that it wilN,be valuable In
checking the disease" said DR.. F. S.
Schoenleber, state veterinarian at che
Agricultural college. DR.. Schoenleber,
with j. H. Mercer, state live stock
sanitary commissioner, has just re-
turned from Hoxie. Their decision to
distribute the vaccine as rapidly as
possible was reached after noting the
results with the 1000 animals at
HoXie.
To get the vaccine community
must select committee that will be
responsible for its proper distribution
and administration. This committee
must get the services of competent
veterinarian The committee also
must agree to send a full report of the
results obtained with the vaccine to
the state veterinarian at the college.
"In communities where there are no
graduate veterinarians Mr.. Mercer, at
Topeka will furnish a qualified man."
said Dr. Schoenleebr. ut is very i'm
portant that the vaccine be applied by
men who know their business. When
properly applied it cannot injure
horse, but if administered careless.y
it may do harm. 1t is necessary that
we make some restrictions as to
where we send the bacterin. If we
shouldn't, the ever-present CRATER
would try to make money from it. Or
ders should be sent either to the ag-
ricultural college at Manhattan or to
the state live stock sanitary commits
sioner at Topeka"

ARRESTING FLIGHT OF TIME
German Scientists Advise the Eating
, of Egg Shells by Those Who
Approach Old Age.

Two Germans, deep thinkers-Pro-
fessors Emmerich and Loewe-state
that egg shells eaten increase the
power of resistance against the with
ering blight of time" add weight to
the body, activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent inf1am-
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Philip
Hale writes in the Boston Herald, OF
the preparation advertised in London
thirty or more years ago as removing
superfiuous hair, being an excellent
substitute for table butter, none genu-
inc unless stamped on the blade.
Eustace Miles, the English court ten
mis- player and vegetarian. says he had
an old nurse who used to eat egg
shells and crunch them joyfully be-
between the teeth that happened to
meet, and she said she ate the shells
because they Shaved the hair off in
side of the throat" The discovery
Of the German scientist is peculiarly
welcome to jewellers by the ocean,
for 1t Is well-known fact that If you
do not break egg shells the witches
will put out to sea In them to wreck
vessels, and If you burn the shells
the hens will cease to lay. Further
more, as eggs are now absurdly high
even case eggs-in the neighbor-
hood 1t seems a pity to waste any
part of them.

Has Remedy for Horse Disease.

DR.. ]. c. Wise, a chemist of Kansas
City. has forwarded to Governor
Stubs sample of preparation he
has made to be used in curing the
horse epidemic in Kansas. He calls it
Pix Cresol and he has been using it
in this and other states where the dis
ease has been prevalent. Doctor Wise
has received many unsolicited testi'
monials from people who have used
the preparation. This preparation,
along with many others that have
been submitted to the governor, will
be thoroughly inspected and if it
meets the requirements the governor
fixed it will draw the reward of ST.
600 offered by Governor Stubs.

fair. One salesman declares he has
sold twenty Of the big engines, the
profits from one of which would en-
tirely pay his expenses and give him

made it necessary for farmers to look
elsewhere for means of doing their
field work. Traction engines seem to
be the only promising method.

EIack Must Face Trial.

Abilene, Kan.-The eleven addl-
tional charges, alleging fraudulent en-
tries in the books of the Abilene State
bank brought against John Flack
were upheld by the court and motion
to quash them overruled. Flack waived
examination at his preliminary hear
ing and was held in $1,000 for his APP
pearance at the January term of court.
Unable to get bondsmen he was forced
to remain in Jail, and his attorneys are
now trying to raise the amount neces-
sary to secure their clients release.
Flack had agreed to plead guilty to
forgery, the charge on which he was
eXtradited from New York, but on
having the new charges preferred, de-
cided to fight the case. This action,
it is predicted, will cause the state
to press the prosecution to the limit.
S. N. Hawks, assistant state attorney
general, has been assigned to assist
County Attorney Rush in the trial.

Checks Ravaaes of Horse Disease.

Talmo, Kan.-The recent rains and
cooler weather, it is believed, has 10
a great extent, put a check in the raw
ages of the horse disease. Reports
of new fatalities. over the country, II
appears, are coming in with much less
frequency than formerly. One Of the
principal reasons for the eradication
of the epidemic, it is thought, is that
farmers in every community were not
slow in obeying the warning to take
their horses out of the pastures, from
which the malady evidently originates.
