CITY PROBLEMS.
Officers of Kansas Towns Hold
ing Important Meeting.
Men of Large Caliber Overlook
Duties in City Affairs.

| Kansas City, Oct 9.-Cities have suf-
| fered very largely in the past because
men of ability have considered the ad-
ministration of municipal affairs un-
worthy of their efforts, according to
Professor Richard r. Price, director of
| the general extension division of the
| University of Minnesota, who address,
ed the League of Kansas Municipali-
ties at its convention at Kansas City,
: Kan, last night.
| 1T has been too much the rule in
| the past" Professor Price said, that
public spirited citizens of large infiu-
ence and ability have considered city
affairs beneath their notice. The re-
| suit has been that municipal problems
| and politics have often been settled
| by men of small attainments and linn
| tied vision The native tendency of men
| of this type is to do business small
and petty scale and without the states
mans view of the future. In how
many growing cities of this country
! things have to be done over again at
vast expense because they were not
properly planned with an eye to the
| city's growing possibilities in the first
| place"
Professor Price recommended the
municipality league as the best means
for avoiding mistakes in growing cities.
More than 40 Kansas towns were rep
resented at the opening of the conven-
tion. Mayor c. w. Green of Kansas
City, Kan, made the address of well
come. j. Dunkelberger, mayor of New
ton, and president of the league, re-
sponded- Progress in various cities of
the state was a subject discussed dur
ing the meeting by city officials pres
ent.
Among the speakers were: c. H.
Kerr, mayor of independence; George
Freeman, commissioner of finance of
lola; Walter F. Jones' Hutchinson; s.
J. Harmon, Cherryvale; H. w. Dale,
Coffeyville, and w. A. Lawler. En-
poria.
AT the night session, L. A Halbert,
superintendent of the board of public
welfare of Kansas City, Mo-, told Of
the work of that branch of city gov
ernment, and J. o. Stoutsman, super
intendent of the charities research bu-
reau of the board, gave an illustrated
lecture on the relation of housing con-
ditions in cities to the public welfare.
Mr.. Helbert dwelt particularly on the
value of parole work, the free legal
aid bureau and social welfare work
He urged the larger cities of Kansas to
take up work of this kind as a protec-
ton and as an aid to progressive city
building.
The convention will resume work this
morning with an address by r. E.
Mcdonnell, consulting engineer, on
permanent water supplies for the cities
of Kansas. Edgar Fessenden, mayor of
EmpOria, will talk on the collection and
disposal of garbage. Henderson S.
Martin, chairman of the states public
utilities commission will address the
meeting. on the municipal ownership of
public utilities. The feature of this
afternoons program will be treatise
of the natural gas situation by Profess
sor Erasmus Haworth, of the Univer-
sity of Kansas.

wards for evidence resulting in con-
victions for violation of the cigarette
and tobacco law by either the boys or
the tobacco merchants, and great
deal of sentiment has arisen here Tor
and against the enforcement of this
law However, very little tobacco is
sold to or consumed by minors here
at this time.
AS a result of no tobacco for sew
eral days, a number of boys gathered
last night and threw eggs at Mr.. Han
son as he was returning from the
court The eggs went wide of their
mark and the boys ran in the dark,
but later they returned and threw
eggs at the side of the building 81 in
which Mr.. Hanson has his office. The
mayor of the city is ordering the city
marshal to wash the egg blotches
from the side of the building, because
he was not on his job, and if he
doesn't do so, he will lose his job.
Hanson has served notice on the
city council and mayor that If they
don't find out who these boys were
and have them arrested and fined, or
if this happens again, he will sue the
city for damages for the insult.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. 1t is just
as natural as it is for old people to
walk slowly. For age is never so
active as youth. The muscles are less
elastic. And the bowels are muscles
So all old people need Cascarets
One might as well refuse to aid weak
eyes with glasses as to neglect this
gentle aid to weak bowels. The bow
els must be kept active. This is i'm
portant at all ages. but never so much
as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels of
the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used with harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store.
They work while you sleep.-Adv.

Sleen and Altitude

Some Swiss doctors maintain that
the amount of sleep should be regu-
lated by altitude. Too much sleep,
they say, is as harmful as too much
food or drink. In low lying districts
seven hours slumber may be enjoyed
with impunity, but up in the noun
tains five hours is enough. These sleep
specialists also ban the practice of
remaining in bed in the morning, half
awake, and insist on the necessity Of
rising as soon as sleep fails. AS a re-
suit Of their pronouncements endeav-
ors have been made to form sleeping
societies in Switzerland for the pur-
pose of regulating the amount OF sleep

RULES OF LIFE.

My method Is the freshest,
oldest, simplest and usefulest.
Forget the past. forget the fu-
ture. Life Is a habit as hard
or as eusy to acquire az any
other in life. I'm no genius. My
friends have found that out
But take no thought for the fu-
ture nor the past. When the
load Of tomorrow Is added to the
load Of yesterday many men fall
ter on the way. The first two
hours Of a day determine that
day. Quit tobacco and hqpor.
Bright eyes are the thing. The
control of the mind as q work
ing machine is the end Of all
education. This can be accom-
plished with dellberation. The
most striking thing about Amer
lea is its hurry. Europeans ac-
coinplisi just as much without
that everlasting rush.-Dr. VIII
