ENDORSEMENT GIVEN
Mrs. A. ID. Jones Suffered From
Nervous Prostitution.
Treated With Large Number of
Doctors Without Results.
TESTED NEW METHOD.

Among the hundreds of statements
being made in connection with the re-
markable new tonic, "Tona Vita"
none is more interesting than that
given out recently by Mrs. A. D. Jones,
who resides at No. 1901 Jackson
street, Topeka.
Mrs. Jones said: ct have been trou-
bIed with nervous prostration, heart
trouble, and a terrible run down con-
dition for some time past. l scarce
ly ever got a good nights rest, my vi
tally was low, and 1 suffered intense
ly with headaches.
II tried any number of doctors and
all seemed to fail to produce any no
ticeable improvement. I also tried
numerous kinds of medicines without
any results.
"A short time ago L heard of the
good results being accomplished by
the new tonic 'Tona Vita and decided
to give it trial. While I have only
taken one bottle it has surely helped
me wonderfully and L intend to keep
on using this medicine as feel con-
fident it will produce a complete cure.

This preparation acts like true

source of benefit and relief. When
buoyant spirits return and depression
gives way to cheerfulness, it is hard
to recognize some of the former vic

Democrats to Win Here This

Washington, March 14-Judge
William H. Thompson of Garden City,
Kansas, Democratic candidate for the
United States senate, who is at the
Ebbitt house. is a great advocate of
his state, politically and otherwise. He
said:
81 have lived in Kansas nearly all
my life, and if I had had anything to
do with it, would have been born there.
Kansas raises enough to feed the en-
tire United States. We have led all
other states in the production of corn,
wheat and live stock for the last
decade. We have 100000 acres of
wheat planted this year, which will
produce over 100,0O0,0OO bushels. The
Arkansas valley where 1 live is the ir-
rigated section of the state, and al
falfa and sugar beetS are raised in
great abundance. The Garden City
district this year expects to produce
over 100000 tons of beets, which will
bring the farmers more than 100000.
Garden City is the principal alfalfa
seed shipment point in the United
States, seed being shipped out by the
carloads all over the world.
Plenty of Clark Sentiment.
Besides raising crops. we have
plenty of time for politics, and are
blessed with every brand known to the
political world. The Democrats will
carry the state this year, not only be-
cause they are right in the issues, but
are united and the Republicans are
hopelessly divided.
1--WE who live together on the great
western plains pay little attention to
imaginary state lines. We are all
friends and neighbors, and work to
each others interest. We are natural
~ for Champ Clark for president, be-
cause, first. he is our friend and
neighbor, and answered our call when
in need. And also because we believe
him to be one of the greatest living
Americans, of the plain people, and
possessing the ability and practical
characteristics of the immortal Lin
coln.''
May Lose Riding School.
The war department is now consid-
erlng the suggestion that the army
school, known as the Mounted Service
school, now located at Fort Riley,
Kansas, be moved to some place in the
east. Several places have been men
toned as suitable for the school,
among them Be1voir, Va, near Mount
Vernon, and the remount depot at
Front Royal, Va, where a large tract
of government land is available
Some cavalry officers are DESTROYS
that the change be made, believing
that it would be in the interest of the
army to have the student officers in a
section of a country where there is
much interest and participation in
riding, and where they would be near
er the competitions in which it is de-
sirable to have the army represented.

MOST X. U. MEN PASS.
Only Twenty-Six in 1000 Fail in Their
Examinations.

University of Kansas, March IL
A report from Registrar Foster to
Chancellor Strong today shows a re-
markabIe record of scholarship for
University of Kansas students in 1911
1912. Only twenty-six students out of
a possible 1000 failed in their years
work.
OF the twenty-six failures, six of
these were fraternity men, while TWEEN
ty were not members of Greek letter
societies. Not a sorority lost a mem
Der during the year by poor scholar
ship.
The records show little difference in
scholarship between fraternity and nom
fraternity students. The young wom-
en- in clubs outstripped the non-sorori-
ty women, while the non-fraternity
men have a tri1e the advantage of
their Greek classmates, a fraction of
1 per cent.
survey of the vital statistics of
twenty other universities shows that
the average per cent of failures is four
times that at Kansas last year.
1.-The excellent showing" says
Chancellor Strong, SIS due mainly to
the fact that the new system worked
out by the deans checks up the stu
dents work week by week instead of
leaving him &C take his medicine at
the end of the sem ester when the final
examinations come.
