and clog you must relieve them, like

the body's urinous waste, else you have
backache, sick headache. dizzy spells;

rheumatic twinges. The urine II

obliged to seek relief two or three times
during the night.

DECLARE PRINCIPLES.
The Women Did, but Took No Line
of Definite Action.

After an all afternoon conference,
Kansas club women who met at the
Y. w. c. A. to discuss political issues.
adjourned without taking definite &C
ton regarding their future stand in
politics. although they adopted a
declaration Of principles favoring ma
tfOnal suffrage, equal property rights
for man and wife, tax exemption for
householders and increasing the ma
tority age Of girls to p years. About
$50 women attended the meeting. OF
this number, perhaps IS were non
residents of Topeka.
When the women's meeting adj
journed, it was with the determine
ton to hold another state wide con-
ference this winter. They also pro-
posed to take up the plan adopted by
sional district conferences and will
call district meetings soon. Mrs.
Nettie Mason of Kansas City presided
at the Topeka meeting.
Two of the officers Of the state wide
organization are Topeka women. Mrs.
Frank Doster Of Topeka was elected
as president, while Mrs. Lila Day
Monroe, also of Topeka. was chosen
as secretary. Miss Flo Robinson of
Ottawa is vice president of the or
ganization, while Mrs. T. HI. Grisham
Of Cottonwood Falls is treasurer. The
new organization was gwen the OmclaA
title OF the Kansas Women's Legis-
lative club and was forthwith de-
clared to be free from party or fac
tional afiliation in state politics.
Women who went to the meeting
expecting a row were sadly disap-
pointed. Where there was the slight
est indication of serious debate, the
women sang swan songs and muir
INJURED words of fond endearment in
a manner that made the Republican
harmony meetings look like race riots
on a levee. For three hours the ESQ
women talked over the initiative and
referendum, the welfare laws for
women and children and other mod
ern and needed reforms. Then they
adjourned and declared the meeting a
complete and unrivalled success.
Dates for later meetings of the leg
islative club have not been deter
mined

wear and IL rapidly increasing In MEM
bership, Prior to this movement IN
this state, there were just as many
sta ndards of high school athletics aS
there were counties in the state nav
ing high schools. 1t was Impossible
for the various colleges OF the state
which held invitation meets to get to-
rether on any standard for the high
schools. as the higher institutions
were always looking out for the big
Rest scheme to beat the other Fellow
to advertise that particular schoot so
as to pull the greatest number OF
strong athletes.
As a consequence, the high school
men of the state decided to organ
ize and run their own athletics. AS
result, high school athletics has
been standardized throughout the
state. The state is divided into dis
tricts for basketball and and track
work. This brings tournaments and
meets within easy reach of every
school in the state. When there were
only a few high schools in Kansas.
and those in the larger towns in the
eastern part Of the state, the invi-
tation meets met the need fairly well,
but those good old days are gone for
ever This is the day of the small
town high school in Kansas, and
hence athletics must be worked from
the bottom rather than dominated
from the top.
By means OF this district organfza-
ton every high school is within easy
reach OF a tournament or meet. II a
team is strong enough to win, they
may enter the state meet, where they
compete with worthy rivals rather
than scrubs.

LAST ADDITIONS ARE
 MADE TO TAX ROLL
(From Fridays Daily)


 The Board of Supervisors has put the finishing touches on the assess ment roll of this county, and yester- day, under orders of the State Tax Commission, added the additional sum of S79,700 to the valuations of the United Verde Copper Company shelter and appurtenances thereto. This increased assessment was orig inally imposed by the County As sessor, and reduced by the County Board of Equalization.
 A mandatory order to reinstate the first assessment was received a few days ago by the Yavapai Supervisors Another cause for the swelling of the tax roll of the county was the placing of a valuation of S2o,000 on the property of the Verde Tunnel and Shelter Railroad Company, now under construction, a subsidiary con cern of the United Verde. These raises complete the tax roll of this county for the current year and the final meeting to equalize valuations takes place in Phoenix beginning August 1. when the State Board of Equalization convenes, which body will be composed of the State Tax Commis sion, the various Assessors of the counties and the Supervisors of the State at large.

ANOTHER LAND
 OFFICE FOR ARIZONA

BISBEE, Ariz.. July 16-Senator Mark Smith of Arizona has secured the passage of a bill through the Senate which creates an additional land office for Arizona, and estab- fishes the office at Tucson.
 This will be welcome news for Arizona as it has long been urged that 1t was unjust to the people of southern Arizona to compel them to travel to Phoenix when they have public land business to attend to-. For many years two land offices were maintained in Arizona, one at Prescott and one at Tucson, but during a temporary dearth in public land activity the Prescott office was discontinued and the Tucson office moved to Phoenix
 During the last four or five years there has been continual increase in the demand for public land and homestead and desert land entries have been filed by the hundreds every year until now it is impossi ble to get any land business through the one office promptly
 Now this new land office must go through the House. Congressman Hayden will do his best to prevent any delay in this measure of so much importance to Arizona. It would be the proper thing now for the cities and towns in Arizona to make known the necessity for this additional land office and their de- sire for its establishment in Wash ington.

PITIFUL PLIGHT OF
 TUBUCULAR INVALIDS.
CFrom Sundays DaiIy)


 The pitiful plight of three tuber- cular invalids who are seeking to slave off the ravages of the awful plague in this vicinity, is brought to light through an interesting com munication submitted by Miss Rose Shannon of the Associated Charities of this city. The three unfortuate youths who have wandered hefe in last desperate effort have been camping half mile byond the pines. Just how the three are getting along as regards the recovery of their health Is not made known and is only of secondary importance to the conditions of their environments and the character of their utensils in their health fight The tents are neatly furnished but sadly lacking in the amount of necessities. There are no floors to the tents
 During the recent storm two of the youths fled to this city for safety while the third stuck behind to watch after the equipment.
 According to Miss Shannon. this is only one of the many similar cases which have been brought to the attention of the local Associated Charities Board.

 WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16-- As the Summer progresses without heavy fire losses on the national forests, the forest service is having hopes for small fire damage during 1913. Not only has the fire loss on national forests to date been gratifyingly small. but conditions everywhere except in the Southwest, according to the officials of the forest service, are more than or dinarily favorable. They point out, however, that the situation may change almost over night, and that a comparatively short period of general dry weather and high winds may bring disaster The appropria- tions for fire fighting are not yet large enough to insure immunity from heavy losses.
 A system of telegraphic reports from the field keep the chief forester at Washington informed as to con ditions on the 163 forests under Fed eral supervision. During the past week general rains in the far western States, with the exception of Ari- zona and New Mexico, have reduced the present fire danger to a mini mum. But in the latter two States the weather is reported very dry, with occasional electrical storms that bring chances for fires set by Four fires are bur hing on the Coconino forest in Arizona, and during the past week there have been fifty-eight fires all told in the two southwestern States. The acre age burned is reported at 2OoO acres, as against only 20 acres re- ported burned on national forests in all the other western States.
 Thus far this season there have been 30,7oS acres burned over on the national forests, or only sixteen of one per cent of the acreage which the forests include.

FIELD MEET ID BE GIVEN BY
 SOLDIERS
Baseball Grounds Will Be Scene of Contest
 On Saturday.
(From Tuesdays Daily)

Arrangements now under way will probably succeed in terminating the 1913 First Arizona Regiment en- campment at Prescott in blaze of glorious fun for the campers. Actuated by the splendid spirit of hospitality which has nredominated since they first pitched camp on the historic Fort Whipple grounds, the soldier boys are going to give Pres colt people an opportunity to wit ness the athletic as well as the camp side of an encampment.
 With that end in view, the officers of the regiment have requested the use of the baseball grounds in East Prescott and will there conduct field meet on Saturday which will be participated in by large number of entries.
 But that isn't all Secretary Fraser of the Chamber of Commerce Is satisfied that the limit of Prescott hospitality has not been reached as yet. Accordingly, he, together with several other members of the directors, are perfecting plans for a mammoth smoker and entertain ment to be given the entire regiment either tomorrow night or Friday night
 The program for the night has been arranged in part, a few num- bers depending upon the date of the 'blow-out"
 In addition, members of the regi- ment are already discussing a prize fight between two of the crack iistic artists of the regiment to be held on Friday night
 While announcing the field day, officers of the encampment take the opportunity to hurl a challenge at any Prescott team desiring to stack up against the First Arizona Regi- ment nine at the local grounds any day this week or even Saturday, in conjunction with the meet.
