elimination of grade crossings, at

used.
Science has already demonstrated it's

longer any question about the ser
viceability of electric motors, the
safety that is in the use of them and
their capacity to be operated upon any

1t is a curious fact that just as
science has demonstrated the admir-
able availability of electricity for OPP
Grating trains and the kind of equip
ment by which the approaches to
great cities may be adequately electri-

ditions have made it impracticable for
railway managers to make heavy IN

George Westinghouse, who is one OF
those now convinced that the city OF
Washington will command the rail-
way companies to electrify their ap-
proaches to the Union station, and
who is also of the opinion that Phil
adelphia is to be electrified by the
Pennsylvania for it's system, is also
persuaded that the change from steam
energy to electric energy upon our
railways will be made gradually, sec
ton by section, instead of all at once
In that way the New Haven railroad
has progressed in the use of electric
energy So, else, the Harlem railroad
now operates exclusively its passenger
trains by electric energy to point
a bout 80 miles north of New York city.
Section by section, zone after zone, the
railways of the United States, at least
in the more thickly-settled portions of
the country, will electrify their sys-

very rapidly when financial conditions
are of a kind which will make it easy
for the railway companies to secure
the large capital needed for this work.

DISCUSSES TROUBLE
Local Man Tells of Recent Dis

Great Crowds Continue to In

HOPE GIVEN TO MANY.
J. C. Dennis, Jr., Afflicted With
Nervous Headaches.
Derived Excellent Results From
Use of New Discovery.

Great crowds continue to consult the
specialists at the Arnold Drug Com
pany. who are here for the purpose of
introducing in Topeka the remarkable
new tonic called .'Tona Vita"
A similar preparation to Tona Vita
created a tremendous sensation abroad
a few years ago on account of its won
derful curative powers, and judging
from the various statements of those
taking the tonic it looks as if it would
do likewise here
A vast number of Topeka people have
come out with statements of what the
new tonic has done for them J. G.
Dennis, Jr., residing at No. 412 Kansas
Ave. said: Il have been afflicted for
years with sick headaches and weak
ness I slept poorly and the little sleep
I did get did not seem to rest me. I
was dreadful1y tired most of the time
and was always nervous and felt as if
something was going to happen.
about two weeks ago a friend, who
has been taking tTona Vita advised me
to try it, I am now on my second bot
tie and my dispair has changed to hope.
If less than two bottles will bring such
results as they have SO far, / feel safe
in saying that in a very short time 1
will be entirely cured. Right now I
feel like an entirely different man. I
eat we'll and enjoy what I eat, my
nights are now one of solid rest and I
get up in the morning feeling fine. My

not in that run down condition any
more. 1 want to say that I think iona
Vita is the best tonic I have ever
taken"
Many testimonials of the same char
acter are being given the specialists
who are located here for a short time
One of these specialists said: "The
above case is not an uncommon one.
Why it is possible that someone in
nearly every family in Topeka is suf-
fering with an attack of nervous debil-
ity. The public does not realize what a
large number of people among those
who live in the larger cities are affi-
icted with this modern plague In
more or less aggravated form. Most

They may be concerned for her well

"One of my girl friends" writes a
distressed little girl, tells me my
sweetheart is tickle. She says he once
made love to her just as ardently as he
is making it to me- What shall I do,
for love him more than my life?"
What can she do? The mischief has
been done in giving to every girl she
knows the right to come to her with
warnings and advice.
If she attempts to let her many
friends select her lover, she will never
have one.
If she refuses to marry until she has
found man who receives the unquaH-
fed approval of Mary and Susie and
Jane, she will be a spinster all her
days.
Not an unhappy lot, If one is help
full. contented spnster But one can't
be that with the haunting regret Of
having refused a good man because
Lizzie didn't like his habits. or Mary
didn't like his hair, or Louise called him
a triher.
She will find, after she has grown
older and becomes a hopeless spinster
that she is lonesome. For Lizzie and
Mary and Louise, and all the other girls
who restrained her from marrying, have
married the men of their choice and
gone off and left her.
And it has happened many times, my
dear little friend hampered girl, that
these girls have married the very men
of whom they disapproved to you.
Il have not so many friends that I
shall grow confused among the number

This is the season when every girl
who has the inheritance nature
planned for her is interested in a
flower garden.
1t may be nothing more pretentious
than d window box. Or it may be
round, little bed in a corner of a tiny
yard. or it may be as much ground as
she likes.
But whatever the size Of her garden
am sure that nature the most de-
voted of all teachers. has taught her
that she must not attempt to grow too
many plants in a limited space.
If she makes that blunder she has
no flowers, for the fight for space be
comes a fight for life, and every plant
dies. If any survive. it is those of rank
growth, and for which she cares the
least.
The same wise little girl with her
flower bed is often not so wise in the
cultivation of friends.
She confuses number with popular
ity, and believes that she can be pop
uIar only by having a bosom friend in
every girl she meets.
She is crowding her little flower
garden. The result will be that she
has no friends at all.
A girl can not have a large number
of friends and be a good friend to all
Of them. The very difference in their
temperaments forbids it.
A few friends are a help. Many
friends become a hindrance. In trying
to be kind to so many she is not kind
to herself
With this friend pulling this way and
another friend pulling that way, she
gets the feeling that she is being pulled
to pieces. What she may prefer can
never be considered if her aim has been
popularity And I take it it has. or she
would not be the bosom friend of every
girl she meets.
What she does to please one friend is
the thing that dtspleases another.
In trying to be a friend to all she
gets the name of being a hypocrite
And to be a friend to all she has found
it necessary to so conduct herself that
the charge is not wholly without foun-
dation
When she falls in love, some of this
army of friends approve and some dis
approve. The former urge the match;
the latter come to her with tales and
gossip and discourage it.
Every few days I get distressing let
ters from girls who are in love
My parents approve writes one girl.
and her letter has a weekly duplicate.
