FACTS ARE SUPPRESSED.
Is the Charge Made Against the Post
office Department.

Washington. Jan. 24.-Charges that
the postmaster general and other pos
tai officials suppress facts and misin-
form congress as to the safety of the
lives of clerks in the railway mail ser
vice were made before the house c@m-
mittee on postoffices today by Urbana
Walter of Denver, formerly a railway
mail clerk and editor of a postal jour
nal
Specific regulations of the postoffice
service, he said. forbid clerks to dis
cuss wrecks. He charged that "the
postmaster general has not stopped
short of misinforming the committee
and the public as to conditions under
which clerks work. 3"
Mr.. Walter exhibited a letter file in
which he said he had five hundred
letters from mail clerks reporting I'M
safe and unsanitary mail cars and said
positions of the authors would be jeop-
ardized if the names were published
1T is a remarkable situation that
this gag law of the department should
keep congress from getting at the
facts" said Chairman Moon. I'VE can
subpoena these men, but we can not
protect their jobs if they testify

ESTATE MEN WAIT
Not sure They Will Unite With Com
mercial Club.

The question of making the Topeka
Real Estate Dealers association a de-
partment of the Commercial club was dis
cussed today at a meeting of the aSSocla-
ton, but no decision was reached. A
committee composed of G. G. Blakely,
George Clearinghouse and N. Coover was
appointed to investigate the proposition
and report at the next meeting two weeks
from today There was some objection to
the plan on the ground that the associa-
ton would lose all individuality.
George Clearinghouse was asked to pre-
pare a paper on the vacant lot garden
proposition to read at the next meeting.
Inc idea advanced by Mr.. Clearinghouse
is to transform the city weed cutting
gang into bunch Of farmers, with some
man in charge to make the vacant lots
in the city blossom forth with produce
which could be sold and nice profits
realized
President N. B. Burge, who attended
the meeting of the executive committee
of the National Association, of Real
state Exchanges in Kansas City Tues
day, made a report. After hearing talks
by men representing about 35 different
localities" he said Il came to the con-
clusion that we are leading them all in
ideas. The organizations in the larger
cities are formed purely for selfish pur-
poses. I told them the national assoeia-
on should have some definite object
such as the educating of the people to-
wards getting back to the soil and to-
wards the identifying of the farm homes,
for whenever you get people moving you
get new business"

PLANS FOR The DUKE
How Connaught Will Be Entertained
on His Washington Visit.

Washington, Jan. 24.-After con-
ferences lasting many hours, White
House and state department officials
We're sufficiently brushed up on pre-
cedents today to announce some of
the details for the reception of the
Duke of Connaught by President Taft
tomorrow afternoon. Although striv-
ing for informaIity the White House
determined it best to receive the duke
like a new am bassador.
Major A. w. Butt, as the presidents
personal aide, will meet the duke at
the Union station and will act as his
official guide when he is not on the
acre or two of British territory COW
cred by the EN- bassy.
No soldiery will accompany the
duke from the station to the embassy,
but from the embassy to the White
House a troop of cavalry will form an
escort of honor President Taft will
receive the duke probably in the blue
room and Major Butt will be the only
person present. Later the British am
bassador and the dukes aide, Colonel
Lowther, will be presented. Third AS
sistant Secretary Chandler Hale will
Secretary Knox and other cabinet
m embers may meet the duke also.
Following the formal reception, Mrs
Taft will serve tea probably in the
state dining room. Wives of the cabi-
net members and possibly few
friends of Mrs. Taft may be invited
to this part of the reception. From
the White House Major Butt and the
cavalry will take the royal visitor back
to the British embassy, where he will
be a dinner guest of the ambassador.

PROPER CHEWING OF FOOD.
Teach Children to Masticate Thorough
BY and Give the Saliva a Chance.


AT recent dental meeting. held in
Indiana, a speaker made this state
ment: 1.-The education of the average
man, woman and child has been sadly
neglected. They have been taught to
eat but have not been taught to use
their teeth. When We bolt our food
we ignore one of the most important
ferments, ptyalin, in our saliva, that
has much to do in the process of d.
gestion But the American habit is to
spit, and the Americans are the great
est Spitters in the world. Between
meals they spit out the invaluable sa-
Iva; then when they chew, they wash
down every unchewed mouthful of food
with copious draughts of water, coffee
or, in summer, iced tea What fool
ish, disgusting habit it is, and more
than foolish, more than disgusting, it is
killing in it's hurtfulness. A habitual
splitter at middle age will have the
broken down digestive apparatus of an
old man at rs. Men who bolt their
food, who put their saliva out of bust
ness, are drug shop chasers and slow
suicides"
In answer to inquiries addressed to
$50 leading physicians in this country,
SO per cent of these physicians said
that chewing Of food was an important
factor towards good health, and that
the boiling of food frequently caused
cancer, catarrh of the stomach and
gastric ulcers. If food is not thorough
" chewed and is permitted to reach
there is no question that it must in
jure the soft lining of that organ, pro-
ducing many of the cases of ulcer and
catarrh that need careful and conSiS-
tent medical attention.
It has been said that fully rs per
cent of the people of this country bolt
their food This habit is usually ac-
quired during the early years of child
hood and carried on during ones
whole life In many of the homes the
early morning hours are given. to pre-
parfng the children for school. Very
frequently they are permitted to sleep
late and then in the hurry and hustle
to get them to school on time. the
breakfast is bolted. These same con-
ditions of hurried meals apply to the
lunch hour and at supper time. From
dav to day this is permitted until the
habit is firmly established, carried up
to manhood and then down through
old age We have q lesson every day
of the boiling of food. Walk into the
quick lunch room of the cities and see
these 'hust1ers'' at work. Look down
the long row of tables. see the rapid
movement of the eating contest. for
that gets through first. Many of these
, lunch rooms advertise how quickly you
NAV be filled from their larder and
take pride in the number that can be
filled in a given time.
It should be the duty of all parents
to make their children eat slowly. and
chew their food properly. Nature has
placed the teeth in our mouth for
ver. valuable purpose. IF we neglect
to keep them in shape and to properly
use them, we are inviting conditions
that seriously threaten our health and

EXPRESSES HIS REGRET
italian Minister Is Sorry That France
Is DispIeased.

Rome, jan 24.-The Marquis di san
Giuiano, the Italian foreign minister,
and Camille Barrere, the French am
bassador to Italy. had an interview to-
day in which the question of the cap
tlzre Of the Turkish doctors and nurses
from the French steamer Manouba was
fully discussed. The Italian foreign
minister expressed his regret that the
incident should even have threatened
the cordial relations that existed be-
tween France and italy.
But 1t Lacks Confirmation.
Paris, Jan. PA dispatch from
Rome says that the Italian govern
ment has given orders that the Turks
taken from the French steamer Ma
nouba shall be released No conflr-
nation of this has been received in Of

Insurine Against War.
London, Jan. 24.-The activity of
italian war vessels in the Mediter-
rene an and Red seas is causing In
creasing uneasiness in shipping insur-
ance circles. Several large assurances
have been effected during the last two
days at Lloyds in this connection A
premium Of per cent was accepted
to cover the risk of an outbreak of hos
fiIitieS between France and Italy IN
the course of the next four months and,
although there is no apparent reason
for such al occurrence, a premium oil
6 per cent was paid on the risk OF the
outbreak Of war between Great Britain
and France and Germany within the
next six months.
The italian action in stopping steam
ers irrespective of their nationality
and searching them for Turkish officers
and contraband is believed to be an
evidence Of determination of the Italian
government to put an end to Turkish
resistance in Tripoli as speedily as pcs
sfble. It is thought, however, that the
Italian activity may give rise to COM
pltcations with those European pow
ers whose shipping is put to incon-
veniece.
So far no action has been announc-
ed by the British government N re
gard to the seizure by the Italians of
q number of Turkish officers, including
the famous Colonel Ria Bey from the
British steamer Africa in the Red sea.
As, however, the declaration Of Lon
don. which would permit such seizure,
has not been ratified by Great Britain
a move may be made at any time. The
stoppage of the Austrian Lloyd steam
er Pregenz in the Red sea is regard
ed here as likely to lead to an ex-
change of views between Austria and
italy.

MEEK IS OUSTED
Two Wyandotte Judges Must Agree on
County Attorney.

The supreme court today ousted James
Meek from the office of county attorney
OF wyandotte county. The custer suit
was brought by Attorney General Dawson
on the grounds that it was necessary that
the judges of both divisions of the Wyan-
dotte district court concur in the ap-
pointment of a county attorney. The
court also granted the petition of the
attorney general to compel the two judges
to agree on an appOintee for this office
When Joseph Taggart was elected to
congress from the Second district he re-
signed the office of county attorney for
Wyandotte. Judge Fischer of the first
division of the Wyandotte district court
appoirSed James Meek, assistant to Tag
CART, to his place. Judge Hutchins of
the second division Of the court refused
to concur in the Meek appointment The
judges tried in vain to get together.
Fischer held out for Meek against a half
dozen names proposed by Hutchins
Then the state took han and brought
suit of custer against Meek and asked
for a mandamus to compel the judges
to agree on a man for the place. The
state won on both points and it IS now
up to the two judges to get together on
a man for county attorney Of Wyandotte
county.
