The health campaign is now on in
Adair county conducted by DR.. j. S.
Locke and his assistants This cam
paign is under the supervision of DIR.
Taylor and the local boards of health,
and the physicians of Adair county.
They will visit the folio wing schools
at the time and place given below.
DR.. Taylor or DR.. Locke will make
talks at each of these places on pre-
ventive medicines. They will tell the
people the cause of, and how to pre-
vent consumption, typhoid fever,
whooping cough and many other dis
eases that are preventable, and that
the people should not have. They
will talk of hook worm and ether in
testinal parasites. Every school
teacher in the county is supplied with
containers, and any one wishing to be
examined can secure these containers
free. Your family physician also can
supply them. Every one is urged TO
secure these containers at once and
prepare the specimens and bring or
send them to the nearest school at
the time of meeting. All that are
submitted at that time will be exam
ined before the doctors leave that
school. Any one having any sort Of
worms will be given treatment absO-
lutely free. Be sure to fix the spec
linens as that is the only way by
which the examination can be made.
Every one is urged to come to the
nearest point and bring his neighbor
and hear these talks. They are of
vital interest to every citizen of the
county. If for any reason any one
cannot reach one of these places with
the specimens. they may be left with
DR.. Taylor or Superintendent Huffa-
ker or any of the physicians of the
town, and they will be examined and
treatment can be gotten from DIR.
Taylor at any time afterwards. 1t is
important to remember that all this
examination and treatment comes to
the people absolutely free during this
campaign. The teachers or your doc
tor will explain how to prepare the
specimens if necessary.

TOPEKA, Kans., Dec. 30.-One Of
the great achievements OF Kansas Is
the conservation Of its baby crop. &C
cording to Governor Hodges. Kansas
does this by enforcing her prohibitory
law. The chief executive told the del
egates OF the intercollegiate Prohibi-
ton conference In session here today
that while other states were conserv-
ing their natural resources, Kansas
was conserving the baby crop.
1T is not the thoughtless. indiscreet
fellow out for good time" said the
governor. who suffers beyond the
physical morning after, but that pa
.tient, loyal self-sacri1cing wife who
suffers the tortures Of the damned and
bears the sentence OF his shame and
folly. That wifely devotion has made
Kansas prohibition state. We know
but little of the saloons and their per-
nicious, Misunderstanding influence.
Other states lay great stress upon the
conservation OF their natural re-
sources. We conserve the baby crop
in Kansas and there is no better con-
servatfon than keeping temptation out
OF their way until they are clothed
with the strength Of maturity"

Talking About Il, But Was

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service. ]
DIES MONIES. Iowa, Dec. 30.-Des
Moines lost long fight to buy the
city water works for $4,000 22 to-
day when Federal Judge Van valken.
burgh OF Kansas City held that the
city could not be given an extension
OF the years time to take over the
plant set by Federal Judge McPher-
son December 8. 1918 and that as the
time had expired, the city had lost its
rights granted by special election
under the state law.
This leaves the case where 1t
started over twenty years ago with
the exception that the water works
attorneys claim that the city having
once exercised its right Of eminent
domain to condemn and take over
the plant on an appraised valuation
fixed by the supreme court OF the
state, cannot exercise tbs right
again.
Three special elections to buy the
plant have been held following hot
campaigns. The first two had a ma
jority OF votes in favor of the plant
to buy, but not enough under the law
which required a majority cast at the
last general election. The third cleo
ton showed an apparent legal vic
tory for the municipal ownership
advocates, but there was delay in TAX
ing over the plant caused by the fail
ure to sell the bonds voted by the
