Y0AKUM- HAWLEY SPLIT
President of Frisco Resigns as Direc-
tor of Katy.

New York, April 3.-Benjamin F.
Yoakum, chairman of the board of the
st. Louis & San Francisco Railroad
company, has resigned as a director
and member of the executive committee
of the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Rail
way company, with which he has been
prominently identified since the latter
part of 1909. At his office it was SAID
that his retirement was due to his de-
sire to have more time to devote to
the management of the Frisco, and
was without significance and the same
explanation was given by associates of
his in the boards of both roads.
In the financial district, however
there was a disposition to see in his
action a severance of the relations be-
tween the Yoakum and Hawley intek
ests, which have been closely allie,
for the last few years.
At the annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Missouri Kansas d
Texas, to be held today at Parsons,
Kan, Charles E. Schaff who recently
resigned as vice president of the New
York Central lines west of Buffalo will
be elected a director in place of Mr..
Yoakum, and the other directors will
be reelected.
The new board will organize at a
meeting in this city tomorrow when
Mr.. Schaff will be elected president to
succeed A. A. Allen whose coming re-
tirement was announced about a week
ago.

STOPS THE ITCH,
THEN KILLS THE CAUSE

Medical authorities and noted skin spe-
ciaIists unite in the opinion that Eczema
and Skin Diseases of similar nature
should be treated by local application.
The cause of Ecoema is parasite which
has entered the blood and found lodging in
the skin where the blood passes nearest
the surface. To effect a cure of Eczema
+he parasite must be destroyed 1t is
plain to the thinking person that this
can not be done by internal treatment. a
remedy which Is of sufficient strength to
kill the parasite would do terrible havoc
TO the delicate membrane in the mouth
and throat and to the lining of the

Brinkley's 'Sanador'' is a proven rem

are necessary to effect a cure. While 1t

"To Them That Hath"
A SHORT SERMON TO
FAT FOLKS

ITO them that hath shall be given is a
sentence that applies to fat people very
neatly. 1t is common knowledge that
once human being begins to fatten I'D
to what they have already is added more
than they want until finally a stage is
reached where reduction must be made or
decided disadvantage results.
Then comes forward the ages-old query
''Reduce-but how?' To the uninformed
nothing suggests itself but the Ito therl)
twin evils-less eating-more activity
They contemplate more or less lengthy
siege of dieting and exercising So it may
be said safely that every man or woman
in the land now undergoing the fattening-
up process has his her mental eye
fixed obviously that not far distant
day when he or she will have to don the
ashes and sackcloth of reduction
This is not enliVening prospect, and
so 1t is with considerable satisfaction that
we announce the emancipation of the fat.
Nowadays one may reduce much or little
a pound a day if desired, or hold their fat
in check absolutely stationary, without
doing a tap of exercise, missing a single
meal doing particle of harm or causing
a solitary wrinkle. All that's required
as hundreds testify, is the taking after.

WATER NUTS IN CHINA.
They Have Horns and Natives Are
Fond of Them.

The term water chestnut" in
China is unfortunately applied to
several varieties of nut fruit of plants
growing in water, which form q con-
siderable portion of the food supply
of many natives. They are so well
liked by Chinese that large quanti-
ties of the nuts are exported to vari-
Gus parts of the world, particularly
to Chinese in the United States and
the Philippines.
Perhaps the more widely scattered
species is that known by the Chinese
in the Yangste valley country as
ling and in the Canton country as
ling kok." This nut is shaped much
like the two horns of a water buffalo
or Texas steer, including a portion
of the skull. The shell is so hard as
to require cracking, and the kernel
is comparatively small and consists of
almost pure starch.
The ling or ling kok" is the va
riety most generally noticed by tray
elers along the canals and ponds of
central China. On the canal system

ANSWERS HIS CRITICS
Secretary Wilson Textiles Regarding
the Florida Everglades Matter.

Washington, April 3.-Secretary Will
son testified before the house commit
tee on expenditures in the agricultural
department today in answer to critics,
his conduct in connection with reports
on the drainage of the Florida Ever
glades. Mr.. Wilson had been attacked,
first for permitting to be published de-
partmental reports which doomed the
Everglades lands and then because he
suppressed the information.
Mr.. Wilson denied that the original
excerpt of the report of Major J. o.
Wright on the Everglades was given
out with his consent. This excerpt was
used for advertising purposes in
Florida.
1t was obtained in the department by
Henry Clay Hall. Later, Mr.. Wilson
christ, of Florida, and authorized the
publication of parts of his letter in re-
lation to the Everglades.
Mr.. Wilson expressed the opinion
that the department had not made a
complete investigation of the Ever
glades project on any of the features
covered in the reports in controversy.
The secretary explained that the
function of publishing bulletins was re-
garded as important in the department
1--WE take pride in these publications
and try to make them as nearly accu-
rate as possible said the secretary
The secretary denied any personal
knowledge about land sharks but he
was unable to say to what extent
stories of their operation had influenced
him.
Mr.. Wilson was asked to repudiate
the excerpt of the Everglades report
said it was still valuable as far as it
is useful"

connected with the Grand canal in
Che-kiang province and in that canal
itself the cultivation reaches it's
greatest extent. The nuts are plant
ed merely by dropping year-old nuts
at intervals of a few feet in ponds or
along the edge of a canal where the
plants can be fenced in by bamboo
poles and a network of bamboo.
They are planted annually in the
of water. The nuts take root quick
ly and send a shoot to the surface in
an incredibly short time. The nuts
are formed among the leaves of the
plant on the surface and are gathered
in boats. A water chestnut field of
this sort resembles in appearance a
field of water hyacinth in the rivers
of the southern United States. The
nut plant, in fact, grows under SINH
lar conditions to the water hyacinth.
and it is probable that the nut could
be cultivated in the United States
where the hyacinth plant now grows.
The Chinese people use these nuts
in various ways. They are to be had
roasted of street vendors in central
China cities; they are eaten boiled
tasting somewhat like a Jerusalem
artichoke; they are made into various
pastries and buildings, some of the
latter being quite popular among for
eigners in China."Daily Consular and

''LittIe Russia" People Go to
Colorado Fields.
Begin Spring Work on Sugar
Beet Farms.
RETURN WITH MONEY IN FALL
For They Are a Thrifty, Saw
ing, Industrious Class.
Reception for Rev. Mr.. Wal
drOn Was Well Attended.

The migration of the people of
Little Russia" to the Colorado sugar
beet fields has begun. The families
of John Kloberdanz Alois Lechmon
and Conrad Mitzrig have packed their
belongings in the big family shawls
and have taken the smoking car for
Delta. Colo. Others will likely fol-
low soon. And it is more than likely
that they will return in the fall with
over $500 per family, to say nothing
of plenty of tobacco which will be
smoked in long stemmed pipes of the
''Vaterland.'
For the people of Little Russia
can live on nothing and return with
plenty. 1t has been born in them for
generations, these people from the
land of the car. Give a Russian IS
on Monday and by Saturday he will
have bought a farm. Meanwhile he
and his "'vrow' and kinder have
lived principally on soup. But they
Russians few have that lean and
hungry look which made the spare
fleshed Cassius unpopular with Julius
Caesar, who wrote about the Gallo
war and thus likewise became unpop-
ular with the American school boy.
Seriously, it must be donated to the
Russians that they are thrifty, al
though some jealous people speak
slightingly of them because they save
''das geld instead of investing it in
the new stylish English derbies.
The shawl head gear and costume
of the Russian women are more use
full and comfortable than stylish any
way. Speaking seriously again, as is
possible beautiful spring weather like
today, the Russians of Little Russia
own many of their own homes east
of the Santa Fe tracks. 1t is said that
they are rarely in debt and help those
of their number who are. Also raise
money from their earnings in the
Santa F'e shops and loan passage mon
ey to those who wish to come to
America from Russia.
Rev. J. w. Waldron, pastor of the
Kansas avenue Methodist church, is a
popular man on the North side. This
is indicated by the fact that a capa-
city house greeted him at the recep-
ton held in his honor at the Kansas
avenue Methodist church last night.
He has been returned to the fold by
the Kansas conference recently held
at Kansas City, Kan, partly because
the North side people sent in a long
petition asking that the pastor be re-
both a good fellow and pastor, can
discuss crops, civic improYem or
theology equally as well.
The program included the follow
ing: Piano solo by Miss Irene Winner;
address by Rev. 7. J. Ream, district
superintendent of the Kansas confer
ence, Fred Voiland and W. A. Neff.
Mrs. Howard, representing the ladies'
of the church. presented him with a
beautiful bouquet of flowery language
and real flowers.
