Liver.

The liver is a blood purifier.

their liver becomes black because
of impurities in the blood due to
bad physical states, causing Bill

GARDNER PRESIDENT.
Won Langen, Delegate; r.. S. Smith,
Alternate; Gribbin, Secretary.

One of the notable features of the
annual election of Topeka Topographic
cal union No. 121 at it's election
Wednesday was the use of a voting
machine, which was first put into
practical use by members of this or
ganization in the election of its Off
GERS. The machine was donated by
the Kansas Voting Machine company.
Out of membership of 1856, there
were Fl out-of-town members who
were unable to vote at this election.
One hundred and ffty-two braved one
of the toughest storms since 1903 to
try the novelty of mechanical voting
at the Auditorium. Considering the
1nclemency of the weather, the compli-
Gated ticket and inexperience of the
voters, results were remarkably
prompt.
Polls were closed at s D. m. and at
S:O2 complete results we're announced
to the waiting members. Just two
minutes elapsed between the time
when polls were closed and results
were announced.
The results of the election were as
follows:
President-M. H. Gardner. SO; F.
B. Brown, Sc; r. L. McConn, II.

A QUEER CATCH.

Last summer Ned Outland had j
queer present sent to him from Il
friend up in Wisconsin. You would
never in the world guess what it wasl
A box of turtles! Yes, they came all
carefully packed in moss and they
stood the journey splendidly.
Ned was very proud of them and
was quite the most envied boy in the
neighborhood for many day. He
dug a little pool in the back yard,
lined it with stones; surrounded 1t
with wire netting and filled it daily
with fresh water. There he put the
turtles and there they lived in peace
and luxury all the long summer.
Around that same turtle pool, the
boys played every day and they
trained those turtle prisoners till they
really seemed very clever.
But when winter came, turtles were
quite a problem. They couldn't be
left out of doors, they would freeze.
They couldn't live in the house, and
Ned refused to let his pets wander
away and look after themselves as
father suggested. So, finally, when
the first freeze of the season made a
quick decision necessary, mother sug-
gested they be put in a wire covered
box down cellar. You can feed them
and keep an eye on them there" she
said to Ned, land the wire will keep
them from getting in any ones way"
So the turtles went into winter quar-
tiers down cellar.
Now in that same house lived little
sister Mary and her pet cat, the hand
some big Queen. Quee was always
getting into scrapes-and ny good luck
getting out again-so Neo should have
been more careful to keep his wire
over the turtles cagei But Ned, like
everybody else, was sometimes care
less, And he occasionally forgot to
replace the wire after he put fresh
water in the cage; but that did no
special harm, it only meant that ono
or two turtles would wander over the
cellar and be found and put back
In the late winter. Queen presented
her mistress with four beautiful little
kittens. Mother and mistress were
both very proud of them and, as soon
as they grew big enough to teach, they
began lessons. Mary taught them
neatness and order and Queen taught
them how to eat, where to eat and

BALLOTING BEGINS.
Diocesan Convention Proceeds to Elec
ton of Bishop Coadjutor.

The business of electing a bishop
coadjutor was taken up when the
diocesan convention of the Protestant
Episcopal church began today's ses-
sion at $50 a. m. at Grace Cathedral.
AT the outset 1t was announced that
the Office of coadjutor would involve
the diocese in an additional annual ex-
pense of $1,000 or more. This an
nouncement brought forth a motion
that the election of coadjutor be de-
ferred to future convention. The
motion was lost
After a discussion of cOnSidera BILE
length and spirit, motion was passed,
that the portion of the yearly revenues
of all the parishes, demanded for
diocesan expenses be increased from
the present six per cent, to ten per
cent. or more if necessary. Bishop
Millspaugh has voluntarily consented
to very considerable reduction of his
salary in favor of the bishop coadjutor.
The following were put in nominal
ton: Rt. Rev. Nathaniel Thomas, mis-
sionary bishop of Wyoming; Rev.
Percy Fem, of Wichita, Kansas, and
Rev. Francis White, of Atchison, Kan
saS
Four ballots without an election had
been taken when the convention adj
journed for luncheon at one o'clock
Dr. Fem seems to have the lead in
the house of clergymen. while Bishop
Thomas appears to be the favorite of
the laity.

HE WANTED IT BLANK
Applicant for Marriage License Was
Not Sure of the Girl

L want a blank marriage license"
announced a youth from Potta Watomie
county, as he approached the marriage
license counter in the probate court
this morning.
The cupid clerk recovered from her
shock and demanded to know why he
wanted it blank.
We'll, you see, I'm not just sure
can get the girl 1 am thinking about,
but 1 believe if I had the license to
show her, L could make her come
across with her answer" he explained.
He was advised that before q license
could be issued, the court must be sat
isfied as to the eligibility of both con-
tracing parties, which couldn't be
done if blank license were given.
With some reluctance he furnished the
name of a Jackson county girl and
SWOre that she was old enough to mar
~ if she wanted to and that she was
subject to none of the disa bilities de-
fined by the law
Don't you ever te1l,'' he warned the
marriage license clerk. 81 won't be
able to use this for a month and she'll
be awful sore if it gets out before she
knows I've got the license
Having received some assurance
that his girls name wouldn't get into
the public prints too soon, he started
for the train to spring the marriage
license on her.

FLY MARKET OPEN
Price Quotation for June Is
so Cents a Quart.
Future Figures Will Be Gov
erned by the Supply.

Anybody got any flies to sell! -
J. A. Ramsey, city sanitary SER
geant, will pay fifty cents per quart
for the first ten quarts brought TO
him during the month of June. he
has been offering one dollar per quart
this month, but flies are so scarce
none has been brought to him.. Flles
should be more plentiful in June,
hence the provision that only the first
ten quarts will be paid for.
Il will buy flies all summer, said
Ramsey, but 1 am fixing the price
now for the first ten quarts only. II
flies are too plentiful, l cannot afford
to pay that price for all of them, but
it is my guess that the two years in
which Topeka has been swatting flies
has reduced the number to such an
extent that flies will be very scarce
this year"
Ten cents a quart was the price
three years ago and flies were so plen-
tiful that boys found 1t profitable TO
trap them for that figure. Last year
the price was doubled and yet less
than one-tentE as many as the year
before were captured.
Three years ago there were swarms
of flies in May. They are SO scarce
now, that many persons have remark
ed to me about it. In another cam
paign 1 believe we can make Iopeka
a flyless town." says Ramsey.
The sanitary sergeant is making a
study of flies-the different Varletles
and their habits. He says there are
eight varieties, six of which are In
need of municipal Swatting.

EDUCATION BY ADVERTISING.

Education is becoming more and
more largely recognized as a function
of advertising, says the Kansas In
dustrialist. Most people want to be
educated if they can be entertained
at the same time, and the advertising
which accompanies the education is
received almost unconSciouSly-wh
makes it even more effective. OF edu-
cative advertising there are two gen.
eral types-one appealing to the adult,
the other to the child. An educative
example of each type has been recent
ly received by this paper. One gives
a history of Hereford cattle, together
with a score card and a number of
statements by cattle breeders. This
advertising, intended for the adult
reader, does not aim to bring business
to any particular individual or cor
poration but to Hereford breeders in
general The other example is pre-
pared by an eastern talking machine
company and. while the booklet itself
is not intended for children, the use
of the suggestions that it contains is
bound to make, a lasting impression
on the school boy or girl. 1t endeavors
to show how the machine manufac-
tured by the company can be effec-
lively used in the school in correla-
ton with practically all the subjects
taught. The booklet is far more at
tractively prepared and far more in
teresting,, than the average book.
Large corporations are spending mill
lions of dollars each year to educate
the children to an interest in manu-
featured articles. 1t matters very lit
tie what the article is. Talking ma
chimes and tooth brushes and silos are
all being brought to the attention of
the children because the children will
be the buyers of tomorrow. This is
the most interesting as we'll as even
tually the most valuable type of ad-
Vertising in existence
