Esther Was Alarmed.

Esther, a five-year-old daughter OF
North side parents, heard much about
the dangers of diphtheria, and was
eager to observe every precaution TO
keep from coming into contact with
1t, that she and her two brothers
might not 'catch it,"
One day she insisted on going to
the grocery on the corner to spend
her penny, and was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with any
children she might meet on the way.
After having been gone only few
minutes, she rushed into the house
much excited, exclaiming as she en-
tered:
Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys
away from Mr.. AS house, cause they
have diphtheria and have a sign
up"
Her mother said: rs that so? What
does the sign say?"
1T says for SALE" said Esther

WILL VOTE AGAIN ON NEW RULE
Adoption of Commission Form to Be
Resubmitted to the People
of Burlington.

Burlington, Kansas - The question
of the adoption of the commission
form of government will be submitted
to the voters of Burlington again
this spring. 1t was defeated last
winter by very few votes, and many
of those opposed to it then are in
favor of it now.
Several of the women's clubs have
debated the subject during the win
ter, and the members practically are
unanimous in favor of it.
The movement was started AFTER
the annual meeting of the CONNER
cial club. The fifty business and pro-
fessional men each made one sug-
gestion as to what they would do II
boss of the town, and the suggestion
for commission government met such
an enthusiastic reception that when
a motion was made that it should be
adopted, practically every one pres
ent voted for it. Committees were
named to circulate petitions, and the
matter will be presented to the coun-
Gil at the next meeting.

TO STOP ACETANILIO SALES
DRUG HABIT FORMED BY MANY
kANSANS FROM ITS USE.
Board of Health Holds Special Meet
ing to Devise Ways to Check
Increase.

Topeka, Kansas.-The state board
acetanilid is so prevalent in Kansas
that many persons have formed the
drug habit from it. At special
meeting of the state board of health
a committee was appointed to make
an investigation and report plans to
stop the sale of this drug in Kansas
because of its habit-forming tenden-
cies.
For some time / have received re-
ports of the increasing use of acetani-
lid" DR.. S. j. Crumbine, secretary OF
the board, said. "All the drug in
spectors were instructed to make spe-
cial inquiry as to the sale of this
drug. Their reports were appalling,
Acetanilid is taken by habitual drug
users almost as much as morphine
and cocaine and it is as dangerous as
either. 1t is the chief component of
many headache remedies, and that is
the way the habit was contracted. 1t
does not cure, but numbs the pains.
"The drug reduces the number Of
red corpuscles in the blood and many
sudden deaths are due to it. We
have information now of many per-
sons who use the drug constantly,
and get a supply of it every two or
three days and they cannot get along
without it."
Prof. l.. E. Sayre, drug analyst, Dr..
Clay E. Coburn OF Kansas City and
DR.. C. w. Reynolds of Holton are
making the investigation.
