New Tonic Changes a Despair
Into Hope in Short Order.
Local Man Discusses His Recent
Distressing Trouble.
AFFLICTED FOR YEARS.
Symptoms of Trouble Disappear
ed After Using Tona Vita"
Scores of People Are Being
Benefited Daily.

Great crowds continue to consult
| the specialists at the Arnold Drug
company, who are here for the pur-
pose of introducing in Topeka a re-
markable new tonic, called e'Tona
| Vita"
A similar preparation to "Tona
Vita" created a tremendous sensa-
| ton abroad a few years ago on ac-
count of its wonderful curative power,
and judging from the various state
ments of those taking "Tona Vita"
| in Topeka, it looks as If IL would do
! likewise here.
A vast number of Topeka people
have come out with statements of
what the new tonic has done for them.
| One man said: II have been afflict-
ed for years with a continuous dizzi-
ness and weakness. 1 slept poorly and
the little sleep 1 did get did not seem
to rest me. 1 was dreadfully tired
most of the time and was always nerv-
Gus and felt as if something was go
ing to happen. My appetite was poor
and what L did eat did not agree
with me. Besides I always had a
pain over the pit of my stomach. The
doctors 1 saw did not seem to know
what was the matter with me and
simply stopped going to them.
About two weeks ago a friend who
has been taking 'Tona Vita advised
me to try it. am now on my second
bottle and my despair has changed
to hope. If less than two bottles will
bring such results as they have so
far, 1 feel safe in saying that in "a
very short time I will be completely
cured. Right now I feel like an en-
enjoy what 1 eat. My nights are now
one of solid rest and 1 get up in the
mornings feeling fine. The pain over
my stomach has disappeared. 1 want
to say that 1 think .Tona Vita is the
greatest medicine have ever seen or
heard Of
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
that the above case was not an I'M
common one. why, it is possible that
some one in nearly every family in
Topeka is suffering with an attack of
nervous debility. The public does not
realize what a large number of people
among those who live in the larger
cities are afflicted with this modern
plague in a more or less aggravated
form. Most of the so-called kidney
trouble, nearly all indigestion and fu1-
ly half of the headaches in Topeka
can be attributed to nervous debility,
superinduced by the strain of modern
city life. Anyone who has been half
sick all the time, with no vitality or
energy, a constant sufferer with des-
po1fdencyg r stomach trouble weak
back, headaches and a dozen other
complaints, caused by debility, is sure
to talk about it when they find some
thing that gives them back buoyant
spirits, sound digestion and general
good health"

Rev. Robert Gordon Says Mayors ST.
lence Is Confession of Guilt.

According to the Rev. Robert Cor
don, the "unholy silence of Mayor
Billiard relative to the accusations
made a week ago Sunday evening by
the reverend gentleman is confess
sion of guilt.
s'I have denounced the chief execu-
tive of this city as a. slanderer, hypo-
crite a perjuror," said Mr.. Gordon.
His unholy silence has been accepted
by the people of this city and state as
a confession of guilty as charged. In
the light of a situation like that no
one of you can afford to remain ST.
lent He has gone over to the enemy,
who does not take his stand for right
and truth.
"I have, at serious cost of myself,
uncovered lawlessness and denounced
the same. 1 have called your atten-
ton to the fact that moral lepers are
given the task of safeguarding the
morals of our children; that ex-joint-
lists are uniformed and entrusted with
enforcement of our prohibitory law;
that Infamous crooks are paid out of
your money and mine to guard your
property and life and mine"

HER TAX is LARGE.
Belle j. Ward Must Pay State $10S.69
for Inheritance.

For the property which she recefv-
ed from the Esther A. Youngs estate,
Belle J. Ward, a sister, must pay
$10s.69 under the provisions of the IN
heritance tax law. Notice of the
states claim was received today by the
probate court.
When Esther A. YoungS died recent
Iy. she left an estate valued at $4,000.
Under the provisions of her will, all
of the property was bequeathed to her
sister, Belle j. Ward. 1t was stipu-
lated that the sister should pay the
indebtedness of the estate. After de-
Quoting this Indebtedness, the state
tax commission finds that the woman
must pay per cent on her inherit
ance, or $108.69.

Location at Sixth and Kansas

TAILORS' union APPROVES
National Association Behind
the New Plan.
Agencies to Be Established
Over Kansas.

A tailoring institution that will cater
| to the needs of the entire state OF Kan
saS and will establish agencies In moSt
of the leading towns in the state VIII
be organized in Topeka soon. Ike Gil
berg, a Topeka tailor, Is behind the
new company. Today. he has been
over the city hunting a location Ior
the shop which will at the beginning
employ eighty persons. Later II is ex-
pected that the firm will give employ
ment to two hundred tailors
1t is probable that the third floor
of the Capitol Building & Loan assoc
citation building at Sixth and Kansas
avenues will be the first home OF the
tailoring establishment. Later 1t Is
the intention of the manager 10 move
into larger quarters-in all probapllIty
a new building will be constructed
1t is Gilberg's theory that hundreds
of suits of mems clothing are sold in
Topeka every week that bring only d
slight profit to the dealer--the rest OF
state Gilbergs believes that clothes
can be made in Kansas, with Kansas
workmen, and with Kansas capital
and wear with Kansas determination.
Gilberg has taken up the matter
with the national and local headquar-
tiers of the Journeymen Tailors Union
of America and they have supported
him in his scheme. The national or
ganization believes that the company
in Topeka would be success and they
have given considerable encourage
ment to the plan. The local union has
promised to stand behind Gilberg In
his factory organization.
1t is the belief Of the Topeka tailor
that a ready market can be found In
Topeka and Kansas for a tailoring
establishment of this kind. Travelling
statesmen will be sent out of Topeka
and agencies will be established In
many of the larger towns in Kansas.
The work and factory, however, Will
be maintained in Topeka.
SCI have been in the large clothing
houses in the east and am acquaint-
ed with their methods and their profits
and their goods said Ike Gilberg this
afternoon. ST know that we can turn
out a high class quality of goods in our
Topeka factory and we can andersen
anything. Furthermore, I know that
we will receive the patronage OF To-
pekans and Kansans.
81 see no reason why thousands OF
dollars a year should leave Kansas for
clothing when 1t can be done right
here in the state-and the money Will
STAY in circulation here. The fact that
big firms make hundreds of suits
week makes no difference-we can do
the work with a profit.
s'I have taken up the matter with
the Commercial club and Secretary
Kelley promises to assist in hunting a
good location. If I do not meet with
announcement in this city 1 know of
at least two other Kansas cities where
the establishment will be welcomed.

E. M. Jolley of the Jolley Grain Co.,
thinks Mr.. Coburn's estimate of this

The average farmer who desires to

differs from most farmers in this re-
spect, for he asserts and has actually
proved by practical results that there
is relatively greater profit in feeding
heifers for the central market than In
adhering to the old plan Of finishing
grass fed steers. He watched the
market offerings very closely, and
whenever good heifers were put up
for sale, II the price was right, he
bought and sent them to the feed lot
on his farm.
On his 400 acre farm he produces
all the grain and roughage that he
feeds and buys only oilmeal. This he
uses in large amounts in the ration,
for he considers it one Of the best Of

GOOD THINGS TO KNOW.
How to Keep Cabbage

How to Keep cabbasss.
One Of the difficulties that cabbage
presents is that 1t must be carefully
stored to prevent decay. In cold eli
mates the best plan is to place the cab
bages in long narrow piles out Of doors,
cover with old hay, leaves or other dry
litter and allow the piles to freeze. II
they remain frozen no decay will oc-
cur, and when the cabbage Is wanted
for use a small quantity may be
brought into a cellar or warm room
and allowed to thaw before using. An
other good plan where SHOWS are light
and the ground does not freeze deeply
is to plow a double furrow in a dry
soil and place the cabbage therein in
two lines with the heads as close to-
gether as possible, roots downward.
Then plow the soil back over the heads.
The whole line should now be cover
ed with dry litter of some kind to keep
out the frost. The cabbage can be
dug as wanted throughout the winter,
and when a small quantity Of the out
side leaves is removed 1t will be found
in good condition for use. = Country

Spraying With Arssnats Of Lead and
Destruction at Time Of Winter

The tent caterpillars, one Of the COM
mon species, scientifically known as
Malacosoma erosa, have made forays
on various parts of the country at DIFF
ferent intervals, sometimes causing
more than temporary inconvenience
and loss, says the Oregon Agricultural
college. At one time during the sum-
mer Of 1911 they were so thick on the
railroad tracks between California and
Oregon In the mountains as to delay
trains by making the rails slippery on
grades. They swept over suburban
portions of Portland and other cities.

numbers of shade and ornamental
trees. They have also ravaged many
orchards in different sections of the
country, so that much interest and i'm
portance attach to the different means
Of DISCRIMINATING them.
There are, Of course. natural enc
mics. as Brewers blackbird. which Is

that bore into the caterpillars, feed on
their tissues and thus eventually kill
them, and a fungous disease which In
warm wet weather causes the cater

In fruit orchards ordinary spraying
with arsenate of lead. as for the cod

noueoo.
Much has been written about the
subtle influence of the big four pound
catalogues sent broadcast over the land
by the houses located in the big cities
which, strange to say, refuse to sell
goods to the residents of the cities In
which they are located.
There Is no mysterious element in
these bulky paper books, writes d. NJ.
Carr. From cover to cover they are
filed with pictures and with prices and
descriptions Of goods. The power Of
printers ink is the only magnet, and
this magnet can be used by merchants
everywhere. The publishers of these
great catalogues do business running

ink they use and the way they use 1t.
Because these concerns receive pat
ronage that should go to the home
merchant II is the home merchants
fault, Mr.. Carr argues. The home mer-
chant neglects to do just what the
houses which publish the big cata-
logues do. He may not have the mon
ey to get out such great list, neither
the means Of carrying great stocks of
goods. Yet he possesses all the means
necessary to gain the trade that goes
to these great concerns. He can buy
goods just rs low, has less expense,
and, while the big catalogue goes to a
customer only once in year or two,
through the medium Of the local news
