SALOON CRAFT
 OF $L,2OO,OOO
 TO POLICE RING

New York. Feb. 2s-Police life in New York is one graft scandal after another, according to developments, today. District Attorney Whitman, after touching the edges of the gannb- ling -disorderly house police alliance, struck a new lead when he called to his office John Mustard, president of one of the district organizations of the liquor dealers of Manhattan. Mustard is declared to know all about the Ievying of assessments on the memb bers of his organization whereby the total of $1, 200, 900 was extorted for the benefit of a police ring.
 This graft was paid to permit sa- looms to run their bedrooms and side doors wide open on Sunday. And this money, the district attorney be- Iieves, went directly through head quarters to a powerful clique of poll ticians whose source of income has always been a profouond mystery.
 The saloon graft is expected to lead to prosecutions that will force a real housekeeping among corrupt politi- clans.

AMAZING MURDER PLOT IN CASE
 OF STEINBERG

New York, Feb. 2s-Oficia1s of the Buttonho1e workers union, one of the organizations actively concerned in the existing strike of clothing work CTS. declared, today, that when the Killing of Abraham Steinberg, secre- tary of the organization, are revealed by the coroner's inquest, March B. an amazing murder plot will be uncover ed. According to these officials, the killing was planned months ago. They today took a new witness to Assistant his+rset aAkteraegp~Br to tell his-.a .atoEy-zEhieh will ase be repeated to the grand jury.
 Meanwhile the four clothing manu- facturers, accused in his confession by Harry Wagner, are in the Tombs. They will remain there until after the inquest, at least, their attorneys ha,v- ing failed to. gain their freedom on habeas corpus proceedings as planned
 The new witness is said to have have told the prosecutor that for a long time Steinberg had been ob- noEous to the clothing contractors. They blamed him for the activity of factory inspectors who finally forced them to make radical sanitary in- pwovernents.
 Long before the present strike, this witness told Breckenridge, the men 1xnder arrest discussed the advisabili- ty of hirine hugs to get Steinberg out of the r.sT Three witnesses have been secure Breckenridge to con- firm this

FIERCE RIOTS

Budapest, Feb. 28-The bitter feel ing between the Socialist and the Church elements in the Reichralth. which has been emouldering since the fierce rioting of last December, broke out unexpectedly, today.

 Dear Doctor: What is the cause of Sciatic Rheumatism, and how may it be cured? I have suffered from it at intervals for several years.
 Many cases of scia.tic pain are caus- ed by rectal troubles, constipation, piles, tumors of various kinds, and in gans. The removal of the cause, of course, effects a cure. The methods of dietetic treatment so often given in these columns for the home treat ment of all kinds of chronic rheu- matic troubles, and which are also Health Club books would be just as effective in these sciatic forms of rheumatism. Hydro therapeutic meas ures will prove relieving.
 Dear Doctor: I have been troubled very much with itching of my scalp. It itches so bad at times that can hardly stand it, and I sometimes wake up in the night scratching. The scalp is dry and full of dandruf, though I try to keep 1t off as much as I can by combing my hair with a fine tooth comb.
 E. A.
 The dry condition of the scalp is the result of the insufficient secretion by the sebaceous glands, Of the natu- raI oil of the scalp. therefore, to in crease this secretion the glands must be stimulated to greater activity. Wear no stiff hats, as these interfere with the blood supply of the scalp. Keep the hair cut rather short, and give the scalp a thoroughly dry sham poo morning and night for ten min utes at a time, using for the purpose 8, stiff brfstled- hair-brush. One of the Home Health Club books contains many valuable hints on the care of the scalp and hair. In addition to the above, equal parts of commercial acetic acid, glycerine and witch hazel, well mixed, can be used to great ad- vantage.

Eastern Kansas
Irrigation Experience.

Every year some one in Kansas
is demonstrating the value OF a
small irrigation pumping plant
in sections of the state where ir-
rigation is not generally sup
posed to be necessary for success
full farming. A little water by
irrigation to supplement the
deficient rainfall at critical per-
iods of plant growth makes a
big difference in the yield.
This is what Stuewe Brothers
of Alma, Kan, found out last
year. They grow potatoes.
When the hot, dry weather ar
rived last summer they could not
stand it to see their potatoes
wither up and die. Accordingly
they purchased centrifugal
pump and installed it on the
banks of Mill Creek, which runs
through the farm. A gasoline
engine furnished the power and
soon the water from Mill Creek
was flowing over the thirsty POI
tato field.
There was difference in the
yield, too, at harvest time. The
irrigated potatoes made an aver
ago OF 29S bushels to the acre.
Not all of the field was watered
because the panp came too late.
The average yield was apprxi-
mately go bushels an acre. That
part of the field which received
one extra" irrigation made an
increase yield of Al bushels an
acre. 1t is not hard matter to-
convince the StHewes that it pays
to irrisate.
H. 3. Walker, irrigation en-
gineer with tho Agricultural
College, was ia Alma last week
advising the Stnewes regarding
necessary changes in the plant
and methods of handling the
water for a larger area to be ir-,
rigated this season,
