The Rainbow Monkey.

You have all seen black monkeys
and gray monkeys and brown mon
keys, but how many of you have seen
rainbow monkey? -''1'-'
The rainbow monkeys name Is the
mandril and he lives in the hilly parts
Of Africa. He is, indeed, a weird
looking creature. His snout is bright
scarlet, and on either side of his long
hideous face are deep grooves of pur-
pie and scarlet and blue. His eyes
are tiny and glow like ugly sparks Of
FIRE. l.ssts ss ...sFi' 7sl = -
The mandril has funny, stubby ears
and a tail that is only a sawed-off
stump. His hind legs are a deep vio-
let color. -.---oarr'I ~ -. - .
In fact, II you ever see a rainbow
monkey, you probably will exclaim;
There amt no such ANIMAL"

TOO QUICK WITH HIS ANSWER
Response Of Court Witness Put Him
Unnecessarily in Somewhat IN
favorable Light.

At a session OF county court in an
outlying country, a village merchant
was prosecuted for arson" 1t de-
veloped that the business men Of
the town had retained a special
prosecutor" to assist in the case. The
attorney for the defendant invariably
asked each witness II he had ever con.
tributed anything toward the support
of the special prosecutor" One old
man was very jealous in his efforts
to convict the defendant The attor-
ney started to ask him the regular
contribution" question, but the wit
ness interrupted him and gave his
answer in the middle Of the question,
with the following result:
20. Have you ever contributed any
thing toward the support
"a. No, sir; never did-not a
cent!N"
of your family?"
The witness was excused amid the
laughter Of the court, jury and audi
ence He left the room, mad as a

INCUBATOR OF QUEER DESIGN
Chinese Device Does the Work Of
Matching, but Its Defects Are
Easy to Perceive.

Certain OF the Chinese in the inte-
rior districts adjacent to Annoy en-
ploy a unique method for Matching
both hens and ducks eggs In this
connection it may be of interest to
note that some years ago a missionary
living near Annoy suggested to the
natives that the patent American in
cubator might be Of great service to
the local Chinese-only to learn OF
their own process, which is very eco
nonical. Usually a large percentage
OF the eggs produce live chicks.
The breeder first takes a quantity
OF unhusked rice and roasts it, cooling
II down by tanning or by allowing the
wind to blow through until 1t is luke
warm. He then spreads a three-inch
layer of the rice in a wooden tub and
places about 100 eggs thereon; anoth-
er layer OF rice, this second and sub
sequent layers being but two inches
In thickness, is spread over the eggs.
Each tub will have six layers of rice
and FIVE layers of eggs, so that there
will be 500 eggs in each tub. The
rice should be heated once every "a
hours. the eggs being taken out at
such times. When the eggs are again
put in the rice the bottom layer is
placed on top and each of the other
layers one row lower down, while the
eggs previously in the center of the
tub are placed at the edge. The en-
tire tub is covered with a cotton mat
tress. The chicks and ducklings are
produced in 20 to 80 days.
One Of the great difficulties with
this method is the inability to tell
Just when the eggs will hatch, which
OF course renders the smothering OF
the young very possible.

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Stronq

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach or stuffing II
with greasy foods: rubbing on useless
flesh creams" or following some foolish
physical culture stunt, while the real
cause OF thinness goes untouched. You
cannot get Tat until your digestive tract
ass1milates the food you eat.
ThankS to a remarkable new scientific
discovery, 1t is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements needed
by the digestive organs to help them con-
vert food into rich, fat-laden blood. This
master-stroke OF modern chemistry Is
called Sargol and has been termed the
greatest OF flesh-b uilders. Sargol aims
through its re-generative, reconstructive
powers to coax the stomach and intes-
tines to literally soak up the fattening
clements OF your food and pass them into
tne blood, where they are carried to every
starved, broken-down cell and tissue Of
your BODY You can readily picture the
result when this amazing transformation
has taken place and you notice how your
cheeks I'LL out, hollows about your neck
shoulders and bust disappear and YOU
take on from 10 to 20 pounds OF aoIid
healthy flesh. Sargol is absolutely harm
less, inexpensive, efficient. Arnold Drug
Co., 52S Kansas ave-, and other Ieadin1
druggists OF Topeka and vicinity have Il
and will refund your money II you are not
satisfied, as per the guarantee found in
every package.
CAUTION Sargol has given OK
cellent results IN overcoming nervous
dyspepsia and general stomach troubles
It should not be taken by those who do
not wish to gain ten pounds or more-Ady.

Howe scored State Superintendent Ross
for his alleged neglect in looking into
rural schools and the former board OF
control for the inefilcient management
of the charitable institutions while he
was chairman of that board.
Mr. Ross. the speaker said, has criti.
cised the Kansas schools and has sent
out the report that Kansas is twenty
ninth in the educational standard OF
the United States and this is being
used by other states to show how KAN
sas is behind the times.
superintendent Ross and his party
have had control for Is years." the
speaker said. Why did they not RENE
dy this low standard? Principally be-
cause Mr.. Ross and his crowd have
used the office and many Of the teach
ers as well as an annex to the party
rather than as parts Of the educational
equipment Of the state"
Senator Howe continued by saying
that Ross was responsible for the lack
Of censorship of moving picture Aims
and said that Mr.. Ross told him IN
person that he had the money he had
asked for.

That the demand for life insurance
