With Results Produced

STRENGH is RENEWED
Anyone Suffering From Similar
Ailments Can Be Benefited
People Are Beginning to Realize
Great Value of Tonic

Mrs. Cora Bowers, of 200 Madison
street, is among the many Topekans
who have tested the new tonic, Tona
Vita" which is making such a re-
markable record here.
In spea king of her experience with
the medicine Mrs. Bowers said: FOR
about two years 1 have been in bad
health and could not find anything
that helped me. L was in a general
rundown condition. My stomach both
cred me a great deal, as 1 seldom ate
a meal that agreed with me. My nerves
were on edge continually.
when 1 went to bed / would wake
UP continually, and did not get good
nights rest once a month.
After reading of @Tona Vita 1 de-
cided to try it. After taking it regu-
larly, 1 began sleeping better right
away and at the end of one week, was
eating better and my stomach did not
bother me. I have been improving
right along and am now in as GOOD
health as 1 ever was in my life. I can
now do a hard days work and do not
feel completely worn out at night !
believe it is the best stomach and
blood medicine sold in Topeka, would
advise anyone with rundown system
to give iona Vita a fair trial and
am sure they will be benefited by it in
a few days time"
The sale of the new tonic has in
creased SO rapidly that the specialists
who are introducing the medicine have
not been able to get an adequate sup
ply In speaking of this one Of the
specialists said: 1--WE are sorry to dis
appoint the people, as we were forced
to do part of last week, but we could
not get the medicine here fast enough.
The demand is just as great in other
cities as it is in Topeka, and the man
ufacturing department has been
swamped with orders. We received q

will not be without the medicine again
during our stay. We will be at the

NAVAL ROMANCE ENDS
Engineer Feigns Sleep and Traps His
Wife.

Chicago, MAJ PA naval romance
ended yesterday when Matthias H.
Thormahlen was granted a divorce
from Mrs. Agnes Winifred Thormahlen
in Judge BrentaEo'5 court.
Thormahlen, who is a naval en-
gineer, testified that DR.. Joseph ".
Howard, a surgeon. and shipmate on
the U. S. S. Supply, had been too
friendly with his wife. While the ship
was in the harbor at Nagasaki, Japan,
said Thormahlen he suspected his
wife of encouraging the attentions of
the surgeon. The engineer told how
he feigned sleep one afternoon and
thus was enabled a few minutes later
to find the surgeon and Mrs. Thor
mahlen together in her room. The
husband drew his revolver but he did
not shoot, he said.

WASHINGTON. Nov. S0.-The War
Department is making plans to care
for the feeding and shelter of the
Army of Veterans, Confederates as
well as Federal, who are to attend
the encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic on the battlefield of
Gettysburg next July, when the
fiftieth anniversary of the great bat
tie will be celebrated Orders today
assigned Captaia Harry F. Dalton,
quartermaster corps, as assistant to
Major Normoyle, the depot quarter
master here, who is charged with the
military arrangements. Both officers
have been authorized to proceed to
the battlefield.
1t is roughly estimated that 10000
veterans must be placed under can
vas and fed next July, so that great
deal of work must be done to pre-.
pare quarters and secure proper wa.
ter supply.

TRAINING costs
UNCLE SANE VAST
SUMS OF MONEY "
By C. S. ALBERT
Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence

WASHINGTON. d. c.. Nov. IS.
The poor taxpayer must always pay
the freight. This applies equally to
matters political and other features
OF Governmental maintenance. The
sport of bosses in this country Is
something akin to that of Kings in
other nations. The taxpayer foots the
bills no matter who the sportsman
may be.
Ii cost the humble taxpayer $780,
900 for distributing political docu-
ments through the mails during the
recent national campaign and the e>u-
.cationai period that preceded it. This
modest sum of money was represented
by the enormous mass of literature
sent under franks. The net effect was
to create deficit of $1,7S1 900 in
the postal service. IL the political
matter had paid the usual rate of
POSTAGE there would have been no
deficit but surplus in excess of
1000, 900. .--
Figures prepared by Postmaster
General Hitchcock demonstrate that
for the fiscal year ending June 80.
1912, total of 80, 245,000 pieces OF
franked matter, weighing 61,377, 900
pounds, was sent through the mails.
The most of this vast volume of
franked matter consisted of govern
ment documents, but between 7,000,-
900 and 100000 pounds of it was
made up of political documents. In
one case complete political cam
paign book was sent out under frank,
the material composing the book hav
ing been made frankable by being in
serted in the Congressional Record.
The total amount of franked mat
was 3.8 per cent of the entire do
nestle mail.
Commenting upon these figures,
Postmaster General Hitchcock said:
THE unusual expense entained up.
on the postal service through the
transmission by mail of the great
amount of political matter during the
primary campaign created a temper
airy deficit for the first time in two
years, the total expenditures for the
fiscal year of 1912 aggregating $248,-.
525, 900, while the total revenues
amounted to $246,744e00. Had it not
been for the cost of carrying ranked
political mail, the postal account
would have shown surplus of more
than 81 .0O0, 900 instead sof a deficit of
| 81, 7S1 900. And this surplus / have
! indicated would have been developed,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
compensation of postal employees was
increased during thei year by an ag-
gregate of $6,0oo,0eQ

# BREAKFAST

Can anyone imagine anything more
likely TO give one go" for the du-
ties Of the day than an electrical
breakfast. First get your glow from
the porcelain tub, then sit down TO a
meal of crisp viands cooked by cleo
tricity After that no fear of losing
your trolley no matter what you bump
against in the course of the day.
You can make a nice breakfast for
three or four persons with two of
these machines" said James J. Crock
EFT, manager of the machinery depart
ment of the Won Hamm-Young CO..
Ltd, referring to the hotpoint goods
that concern is specializing for the
Christmas trade. ..
I'VE are putting out a lot of this
hotpoint stuff, all attractively finish
ed in nickel" Mr.. Crockett replied Il
a question on what was doing with
the firm for the holidays. They are
about the right price, too, for people
to pay who want Christmas presents.
All of these goods make nice Christ
mas gifts and none of them are ex-
pensive." ... '.s." r. II. - =
Mr.. Crockett enumerated electrical
culinary utensils in stock as follows:
"Percolator, toaster. grill, grilling
tongs, stove. oven, tea machine-all
for breakfast and tea-table use-also
the ordinary family sad iron for
home laundering. This is the princi-
pal line we are making the run for
Christmas"
Stepping across the floor the re-
porter asked William l.. Harvey, sales
man of the auto department, what
that branch Was doing toward filling
the Christmas stocking. while the
holiday season doesn't usually affect
us very mHch.r was the reply, I'VE
note that this year there seems to be
considerable increase in the sale OF
auto accessories which are probably
going to be used as Christmas pres
ents."
