Is Like Ohio Corporation Tax Law.


Secretary of State Charles Sessions.
who has returned from recent visit
to Ohio, declares that the new Kansas
corporation tax law is in every respect
in accordance with the Ohio law,
which has withstcod the test of the
courts. The new corporation tax law
will go into effect in Kansas January
1, 1914 Under its provisions, it is
claimed that 100000 a year will be
added to the general revenue fund of
the state.
Fully three-fourths of the corpora
lions in Kansas are also engaged in
business in Ohio. Because the Kansas
law is similar in every essential re-
spect to the Ohio law, it's provisions
are thoroughly understood by these
corporations. Consequently the same
method of procedure will be followed
inn Kansas as has been adopted in
Ohio, and Secretary of State Sessions
believes there will be little or no trou-
BILE in the successful enforceme nt of
the act. Last year Ohio realized two
million dollars from the provisions of
her corporation tax law. In Kansas
about 100000 year will be raised.

NeoIioence Called MansIauuhter.

The case of Stehr VS.. State before
the supreme court Of Nebraska in
volved the sentence of a father for
from one to ten years in the peniten-
tiary for criminal negligence, because
during a blizzard in Nebraska, when
the weather was bitter cold, he per-
mitted the fire to go out, snow drifted
through a crack in the door and a
broken windowpane. and the bedding
of all the members of the family was
frozen stiff. The feet of one of the
children were frozen, and although
such fact was apparent to the father
no physician was called in for sixteen
days, when a%mputation was found to
be necessary and the child died Of
blood poisoning. The defendant was
convicted of manslaughter for GRIM
inal negligence in failing to provide
medical care after he discovered the
frozen condition of the child's feet.
in affirming the conviction the court
hold that for q parent having special
charge of an infant child culpably to
neglect 1t so that death ensues as a
consequence is m~anslaughter, al
though death or g~rievous bodily harm
was not intended, and IL the parent
has not the means for the child's nur-

cLouDED BRAIN
Clears Up On Change to Proper Food.

The brain cannot work with clear
ness and accuracy, IL the food taken is
not fully digested, but is retained In
the stomach to ferment and form
poisonous gases, etc. A dull, clouded
brain is likely to be the result.
A Mich. lady relates her experience
in changing her food habits, and re-
suits are very interesting:
"A steady diet of rich, greasy foods
such as sausage, buckwheat cakes and
so on, finally broke down a stomach
and nerves that. by inheritance, were
sound and strong, and medicine did
no apparent good in the way of relief.

CH|LDREN.S FETE
IS GREAT SUCCESS
Seven Thousand Unite in
Pageant Of Physical Exer-

Before school this morning and again
at recess excited grade school children
talked and shouted of the play fete
and field day which 1000 of their num-
Der staged at the American League

promptu races are being run in the
school yards today. small heads are
planning for next years field festival
and those who took part In the first
field day and those who did not are
equally determined to be participants
in 1914. For the first pageant Of this
department Of the Public Schools OF
the District was an unqualified success
enjoyed by those who looked on and
by those who danced, raced or drilled.

The southwest, however. was better
than third by two places In two events.
When 1t comes to leapfrogging the boys
from the river side of the Mall are the
best in the city. and the southwest little
girls relay team won the shuttle race.
which was one Of the widest and most
exciting events Of the day.
The field day program was given with
out hitch, tug. jar. jerk, or strain. The
lowering skies. which grew steadily
more threatening throughout the after
noon. almost. but not quite, wrecked the
dumb-b bell drill by 600 eighth graders.
Anxious mothers sitting in the grand
stand decided that Mary. Harry. AL
gernon, and Ethelberta were likely to
be rained on IL they were not rescued
from the open and taken home. One or
two Of the most anxious mothers went
out on the field bent on rescuing their
progeny from the impending wetting.
Other anxious mothers. fired by the
example, followed. But the day was
saved.
Captain Doyle. of the Eighth pre-
cinct. thinking the while 1t was like a
militant demonstration in London, mar
shaled his men and coaxed and ordered
the anxious mothers back into the
stand. Then the drill went on to sue
cessful conclusion.
After this all the 1000 assembled on
the field. and, facing the box where

Glen Echo Parks management Is
hoping that the trial opening last night
of the resort is not a sample Of what to
expect Saturday, when the season Is
formally inaugurated. Shortly after the
lights were turned on and the amuse-
ments started in order to see that all
was ready for the start Of the season.
a heavy thunder shower struck the
park and the downpour lasted for half
an hour. Heavy wind and lightning did
some damage and today an additional
force was put to work making repairs
The greatest havoc was done on the
new gyroplane, which was struck by
lightning. and there is a possibility that
1t will not be in running order by Satur-
day.
1t is expected, however. that by quick
work it will be put into commission on
time and everything else will be ready
for the big opening day. Should the
weather be favorable a record-breaking
crowd is looked for Saturday.
Sunday, the first Of the series Of con-
certs by the Soldiers Home Band, will
be given. Free admission. which in
cludes two films Of the newest motion
pictures. and many other features. will
be the rule as in the past. Charles o.
