WARNING TO PARENTS,

It is risky to feed raw milk and
cream to children or invalids un-
less you are sure that at the farm
which produces the milk the ut
most cleanliness is observed at all
times, particularly during milk
ing; that the employees are thor
oughly healthy and cleanly per-
sons; that the cows are free from
diseases: that the water used for
rinsing is OF undoubted purity, and
that the milk is quickly cooled
and kept cold and covered until
delivered to you.
Raw milk often produces Tuber-
culosis, Scarlet Fever, also Ty-
phoid and other intestinal dis
eases
We can guard against infection
by properly pasteurizing milk or
by home pasteurization-
Properly pasteurizing milk (and
cream) by keeping 1t at l4O deg. Il.
for twenty to thirty minutes does
not affect its nutritive value nor
its digestibility.
The best system iE to pasteur-
ize the milk after It has been
bottled.
You can home pasteurize raw
milk by heating IT to near boiling.
then cool, and keep cold and GOV.
cred until used.
Most indigestion In babies Is
caused by milk too rich in cream

COLD FEET HELP
Cattle Thieves Scared When
Leader Makes Confession.
Two More Arrests Likely to Be
Made Soon.

Medicine Lodge, Kan, Jan. "A bad
case of cold feet has ridded Barber
county Of the cattle stealing plague
which has caused thousands of dollars
loss to cattlemen in the past few years.
Sunday evening three men drove a
bunch of 25 steers into the Sun City
stock yards. 1t was after dark and
their identity not recognized. They
had secured cars on the early morning
freight and would have left town be-
fore sunrise had not Tom Taylor's rig
been noticed standing on the street.
The cattle bore Taylor's brand and
when the men recognized the rig they
left town in haste.
Early Monday morning e. T. Bow
man, a farmer of Sun City township,
went to Coats and employed Jan Skin
ner to drive him to this place, where
he confessed leadership of an organ
lied gang of cattle thieves. Up to that
time the steal of the previous day had
not been noticed and no member of
the gang had been suspected of connec-
ton with any of the numerous steals
perpetrated in the past few years.
Then Gilworth Nas Afraid.
Later in the week Harve Gilworth,
son of Jack Gilworth, a prominent
pioneer near heres came in and sur
rendered himself. This was another
surprise as Bowman had not disclosed
his accomplices names and Gilworth
has always been highly respected
The officials now have the names of
the two members of the gang who es-
capped. Detectives are hot on their

OPENS WITH KISS
Smack! Not the Gavel, but
Pretty Lips ResOund.
First Woman Senator Suggests
Lunch, Draws Cheers.

Denver, Colo, Jan. 4.-The nine
teenth general assembly. of Colorado
was opened with a kiss.
You dear girl" was the greeting OF
Mrs. Agnes Riddle. representative
from the First district, to the first
woman senator, Helen Ring Robinson
as she planted hearty kiss squarely
on her mouth. Then she offered. "A
nappy New Year, dearie."
"a happy New Year to you, dear,
said Senator Robinson, as she return
ed the greeting of Representative
Riddle with a rousing smack.
The incident took place in the SEN
ate chamber. Several of Senator
Robinson's men colleagues were
among the admiring spectators.
Mrs Robinson is the first woman
mas no intention of shatering estah-
lished customs of men in legislative
bodies. She has announced that all OF
them who desire to do so may smoke
and even Chew in her presence.

ton of Senator Blakey, the grand OLD
fighting man.
For her debut as a lawmaker Sena-
tor Robinson wore a handsome gowr
of dull primrose silk. She wore long
white gloves. Her hair was dressed
simply and unadorned.

honorable ladies' of the house, each

A "SALT" ON LAND
w. H. Essig Leaves Submarine
for Recruiting Station.
Pretty Wife Causes Change
After Dangerous "Dip."

When w. H. Essig, chief electrician
in Uncle Samuels navy. took unto
himself wife he had no notion that
within a year he would be stationed
among a lot of flatfooted Iubbers in
Topeka, where they haven't seen more
than a bucketful of water at a time
since 1903. But Essig was on one of
the submarines. This was all right
while her gallant sailor boy was WOO
ing Mrs. Essig. Once married, how
ever, and the cup of her happiness
filled to overlooking, she, womanlike,
began to hunt something to worry
about.
About this time the submarine to
which her husband was attached
broke the record for going farthest
towards the land known to seaman as
Davy Jones Locker. Mrs. Essig read
glowing account of this wonderful
accomplishment in a newspaper and
right then and there her hunt for
something TO worry about ended. 1t
was up to Mr.. Essig to find less haz-
ardouS occupation.
And that is why several months lat
er, we find Mr.. Essig in charge of a
recruiting station for Uncle Sans
navy here. The Topeka office is a
substation from the Kansas City Of
join the navy have formerly had to
go. Mr.. Essig can tell you all about
the navy, having served IL years with
that department of Uncle Sans fight
him talk of it without feeling a desire
to do few years yourself you haven't
spark OF patriotism within your
bosom.
The Topeka recruiting station will
occupy room &c of the federal build
ing, one of those recently vacated by
the pension department employees.
Mr.. Essigs assistant is r. A. Larson
and both men plan a determined eff
fort to entice some of Kansas husky
sons into the navy. It's only fair to
say that the navy isn't what it used
to be.
There's better chance for young
man in the navy than anywhere else
on EARTH said Mr.. Essig. "A man
gets good wages, an education, travel,
and those dear to him are insured
some protection against want in case
of his DEATH
So if you contemplate change
drop around and see Mr.. Essig. If he
doesn't have you on your way to salt
water in record time it will be be-
cause you are afraid to leave home.

SLOW DOWN IN TRADE
Is Less Than Usual at This Time of
Year.

New York, Jan. 4.-Bradstreet's
says: .--,
After travelling at a brisk pace.
business has slowed down though less
so than usual at this season. Conf
dence in the future is in evidence.
Retail dealers enjoyed an unex-
ampled holiday trade. In a host of
industries, consumption bids fair to
over-top production for some time and
the iron and steel industry probably
never entered on a new twelve-month
under more suspicious circumstances.
Money is in demand and rates re-
main firm, but signs lead to the belief
that more comfortable rates are not a
long way off.
Business failures for the week end
ing January 2, were 2s7, against 349
in the like week of 1912. There were
"a failures in Canada during the week.
Wheat, including flour, exports from
the United States and Canada for the
week ending January aggregate A.

Second Payment on Courthouse Bonds


A second payment on the court
house bonds has been made oy Coun-
ty Treasurer Matt Weightman at the
order of the county board The pay
ment amounted to $4,000, making a
total of $4,000 that has been paid,
and reducing the original indebted
ness to $4,000. The former payment
of 100000 was made about a year
ago. The original issue was for $149,-
900.
Including the fair grounds bonds
there now remains only 100000 of
bonded Indebtedness for which the
county is responsible The action of
the county board is in direct variance
to that of the board of education
which is making practically no pro-
vision for the redemption of outstand-
ing bonds.
Money is on hand also for the re-
demption of some of the fair grounds
bonds, provision having been made
for payments in the levy for last year.
Persons having these bonds and wish
ing to cash them in will be able to
do so to a limited extent.

SQUATTER CASE SET.
Island Homestead Controversy to Wait
on Legislature.

Wichita, Jan. 4.-Claimants for
one-fourth million dollars worth of
islands in the Arkansas river in this
city met with a setback today when
the district court set the hearings of
the claims of the WOuld-be home
steaders for some time after the next
meeting of the Kansas legislature.
This was done to give the legislature
opportunity to protect the rights of
owners of the islands if it wants to
do so.
The claimants are fighting for the
islands on the ground that they still
belong to the government and can be
homeSteaded.

The fact that the Liebler Co., one
of Americas foremost producers, who
staged 1.-The Garden of Allah" at the
Century theater in New York for a run
of over eight months, approve and en-
dorse these pictures, puts a stamp of
approval on the film which guarantees
