was in Topeka today and conferred
with w. G. Tandy, city commissioners
OF streets, and A. r. Young, city en-
gineer.
Before a city can build sewer. the
plans must first be approved by the
state board of health. The taxpayers
living north Of Sixth street and Shun-
ganunga creek, and west OF Lawrence
street, and south of the Santa Fe
right of way and east Of the Santa Fe
tracks, have petitioned the city for a
sewer. 1t had been proposed to con-
meet this sewer with the jefferson
street main.
1t was the opinion of Engineer Has
kins that the Jefferson street sewer
is already loaded to it's full capacity
and that the new district, instead OF
OF the expense Of a sewer district COW
ering all the East side and having q
new outlet to the Kaw river.
The general impression is that a
large majority of the people living in
East Topeka are opposed to the con-
struction of a sewer.
The only other alternative is that
the state board of health may compel
all the property owners in the district
to construct a sewer regardless OF
their wishes in the matter. Commits
sioner Tandy was not certain the state
board had such authority. Mr.. Has
kins has not yet informed the city
what his position in the matter will be

Thin men and women who would like

their meals for while and note results.
Here is a good test worth trying. First
weigh yourself and measure yourself.
Then take Sargol-one tablet with every
meal-for two weeks. Then weigh and
measure again. 1t isn't q question OF
how you look or feel or what your
friends say and think. Tho scales and
the tape measure will tell their own
story. and most any thin man or woman
can easily add from five to eight pounds
In the first fourteen days by following
this simple direction. And best OF all.
the new flesh stays put.
Sargol does not of itself make fat but
mixing with your food, 1t turns the fats.

eaten. into rich, ripe fat producing nour-
ishment for the tissues and bl0od-pre-
pares it in an easily assimilated from
which the blood can readily accept. All
this nourishment now passes from your
body as waste. But Sargol stops the
| waste and does 1t quickly and makes
the fat producing contents of the very
same meals you are eating now develop

tween your skin ana bones. Sargol is
safe. pleasant, efficient and inexpensive.

women will deliver the opening du
dresses at the big state schools
Women will this year address the
students at the official opening OF
Kansas university at Lawrence, and
the state normal at Empor1a.
The plan for a change in the poucy
of permitting men only to deliver the
opening speeches at the big state
schools was worked out by MIS- Cora
G. Lewis, member of the educational
administration board. She suomltteo
her plan to E. w. Hoch and Ed Hack
ney, the remaining members OF the
board and they approved the policy
of naming women to deliver at least a
portion of the speeches. And so II Is
that the official opening addresses IN
two big schools will this year be de-
1ivered by women-Kansas women
too.
When the state university opens
next week, Mrs. w. D. Atkinson OF
Parsons, one of the most prominent
and widely known clubwomen In
southern Kansas. will be the principal
speaker. Mrs. Atkinson has accepted
the invitation to deliver the opening
address at Lawrence, and she Will pc
the first Kansas woman to address a
student body in an official capacity on
the first day of a school term.
When the state normal opens its
doors to the students. Mrs. Margaret
Hill McCarter the well-known Topeka
author and writer, will deliver the Of
fetal address. Both Mrs. McCarter
and Mrs. Atkinson were selected by
the state educational administration
board and have accepted the invita-
tons.

their selection will meet with general
