PROTECTION AGAINST sHARPERs.

Kansas has good reason to congratu-
late itself over the excellent results
which have been attained by the oper-
atoms of its ''blue sky" law, when, ac-
corling to the report from the bank
commissioners office it is disclosed
that the annual toll to get-rich- quick
concerns in that state has been re-
duced during the year from $4,000, 900
20 less than 500, 900. It was just such
an accomplishment that was aimed at
by the legislation and that it has sue
ceeded so admirably is not only cause
for qualification upon the part of the
people Of Kansas, but a demonstra-
ton which must be needed by every
other state where the practice of sep
arating the people from their hard
earned money through questionable
representations exists.
Kansas has shown that it has q law
which operates to the benefit OF the
people regardless of the many objec-
tons which were made in that and
other states against the law when
proposed. It is a piece of legislation
which is on q par with that which re-
Quires conformity to a standard OF
weights and measures. In the past
Kansas has been a rich field for those
who looked to the gullible for steady
contributions to an easy living. They
have now met the resistance which
they deserve and the people, are get
ting the. protection to which they are
entitled. In view Of the amount which
has been saved to the residents Of
that state the expense which is at
tached to the enforcement of the law
is insignificant. The swindlers who
3ound they could work inside the. Law
are getting the greatest encourage
nent to confine themselves to legitt-
mate business.

Stories of the War
Allies Charged With Using Pirate

Allies Charged With Using Pirate
Force Near Smyrna.
The following details are reported
concerning the landing of a hostile
band on the coast Of the district about
Smyrna, says a ConstantonopIe dis
patch to the Berlin North German
Gazette:
Recently the British and French
landed 300 pirates in twenty boats on
the coast near Milas under the protec-
ton of one cruiser and three torpedo
boat destroyers- The band surrounded
the village of Kasikli. situated two
and one fourth hours away from the
coast.
The robbers carried away a large
quantity Of cattle and were about to
make their escape when the village in
habitants and soldiers attacked and
compelled them to relinquish their
booty and to return to their boats.
Fourteen members of the gang were
killed and two were captured.
\ party of the band hid in a neigh
boring woods, which were at once sur
rounded. so that their capture was ex-
pected. The soldiers lost four wound
ed and captured many arms and much
ammunition
The conduct OF the enemy, which al
lied itself with pirates in order to
plumber, caused much indignation here.

IF MOTHS IN THE CARPET.

If you fear moths in carpets or rugs
scrub the floor with strong hot salt
and water. and when sweeping the
rugs each week, or the carpet, sprinkle
1t first with salt. This salt and water
treatment could hardly be applied to
a nicely finished floor, but moths sell
dom get in rugs laid on q shellacked
the rugs can simply be taken into the
air and thoroughly cleaned, with salt
sprinkled on them before the sweeping
or beating, and then they can be held
over steaming water. The steam kills
the moths.
