Der yer reckon Davell 60 fer him

den awakening in her voice, and her
cheeks in spite of herself beginning to
burn with a slow scarlet.
Looking around at her question
Adrian saw the color come into her
face and noted the interest in her tone,
and his manner grew suddenly cold.

words an intentional scorn. Instantly
anger leaped up in Ellen's face, and
she answered him like a flash.
"An' eff yer think, Adrian Blair, that

In a second Adrian's face was as
angry as her own.
Il know mighty we'll you don't think

back.
Ellen stopped still in the road and
faced him proudly and again, as in the
cornfeld, her shy self consciousness
was forgotten as she rose to her own
defense.

Kansas Vacationists lnocuIated.

Kansas board of health with the dan
ger Of typhoid among vacation seekers
thai a special warning has been sent
out to all the people of the state urg-
ing them to be %inoculated before leav-
ing on the annual holidays.
Many Kansans take their vacations
in the country districts, where there
is little attempt to enforce sanitation
or protect the water supply, and ty-
phoid fever cases appear when vaca-
ton trips are over.
"Observations show that the out
breaks Of typhoid fever among the city
dwellers who leave for their vacations
begin about the time they return from
their first trip. Often they are i'll on
the RETURN" said DR.. j. S. Crumbine,
secretary of the board. every one
who goes into the country to spend a
few days or weeks should be inoculat-
ed against typhoid. This disease is
almost entirely a country disease, and
those from the cities, where the water
is healthful, should be protected
against the bad water of the country.
1.-The cost is only a few dollars. The
patient is EVE prevented from work.
and the incubation is certain. Typhoid
has been driven entirely from the army
and navy by the incubation. 1t is an
absolute preventive for at least two
years. probably more, and the small
cost saves big doctor bills, much pain
and anguish and often life."

The Aero club named a large COM
mittee, of which Rear Admiral Peary
is chairman, to do this work of map
ping the air oceans. It is proposed
to spread a propaganda in favor Of
making air maps of the whole world,
until each country undertakes the task
for itself. Data can then be exchang-
ed between these countries and aerial
maps prepared for every part of the
world in which air men may desire to
travel.
The plan for making such a map has
been maturing in the Aero Club of

The National Geographical society also
has had it under discussion, and it is

THE OLD SOUTHWEST PASSING
tTulsa. Or. Democrat. }

(Tulsa, Or. Democrat)
The cattlemen have held their seq
sion at Oklahoma City. They stand
for the Improvement Of the south
west, but it cannot be denied that
the time when the great ranges will
be factors in the major sections of
the southwest is of the past The
farmer always producer of live
stock, has come to say. He will not
have the vast herds like unto the cat
tlemen of the past, for the very SIM
pie reason that the soil will be put to
use in a manner more profitable to
mankind than the mere grazing OF
the steer.
The range is passing out. 1t has
been a factor In the building of the
southwest-it must go as all pioneer
institutions must give place to mod
ernized business. In q few more
years the range men will have made
their last stand in the mountain
states. The great plains Of Oklahoma
and Texas will have farms on each
quarter section, as is now true Of the
tillable districts Of Kansas and Ne
braska. There will be as many cat
tie, but they will be produced by the
farmers, bringing better prices and
worth more to the land on which they
are reared.

plums, to pinch one or two, just to

Within ten minutes after an appli-

Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair, taking one small

abundance; an Incompatible luster,
softness and luxuriance.
Get rs cent bottle of Knowlton's
