American Milk Bottles to Britain.

In reference to our recent paragraph
on the shortage in milk bottles due to
the supply having in the past been
drawn from Austria, we are informed
by a firm in the trade that this diff
Guilty is now being overcome. 1t is
possible to secure bottles from Amer
lea, of equal quality and at the same
price as the Austrian product. We are
glad to hear that the Austrian source
of supply can be dispensed with with
out inconvenience, but we should be
still more glad to hear that the de-
mand could be met by British makers.
In this connection we are informed
that English bottles are to be obtained.

HADE NEW WEATHER RECORD
The Past Winter Was Decidedly Alb
normal in Several Respects
Fifty-fiVe Inches of Snow.

Kansas has been making some new
weather records during the past win
ter. There has been more snow this
winter than in any winter for So years
and perhaps longer The weather
records for the past Sc years show
that only once, in 1912, has there been
an approach to the snowfall record
made this winter. In the months of
December, January, February and
March the snowfall at Manhattan was
more than 50 inches. In 1912 the near
est approach to this record reached
"a inches. The normal snowfall for
these months is 1863 inches.
Another 56-year-old record was also
broken. The total amount of rain and
melted snow for the past four months
was 1888 inches, the nearest approach
being found in 1892 with 9.39 inches.
The normal precipitation for these
months, based on the average for Sc
years, as 4.0S inches
For some reason or other the sun
decided to stay out of Kansas during
March more than he has ever done be-
fore since 1867. The sun shone but Sc
per cent of the time during March and
the only record which beats it was
made in 1867 when 6S per cent of the
time the sun was missing.

Two Views Of 1t

Some one has advanced the opin-
ion that the letter "e'' is the most
unfortunate letter in the English
alphabet, because it is always out
of cash, forever in debt, never out
of danger and in hell all the time,
Fer some reason he overlooked the
fortunates of the letter, so we call
his attention to the fact sc" is
never in war and always in peace.
It is the beginning of existence,
the commencement of ease and the
end of trouble. Without it there
would be no meat, no life and no
heaven. 1t is the center of hon
esty, makes love perfect, and with
out it there could be no editors,
devils or news.

DEATH OF "COLONEL"
Leaves Estate To K. A. Boys

Leaves LSlotS " iN' l. Ivy .
George Washington Hall, color
ed, for a number of years mana
ger of the Kappa Alpha fraternity
house, died in a Philadelphia hos
pital last Friday. Hall was an un-
usual character, who has many
times proved his devotion to the
bows of the fraternity. Colonel"
as they fondly called him, was
raised in Dover by the late Alden
B. Richardson and wife, parents
of ex-United States Senator Harry
A. Richardson, and was a trusted
servant of the family. He remain
ed in Dover for several years after
the death of Mr.. and Mrs. Rich
ardson, before coming to the New
ark fraternity.
Hall left full directions about
his funeral, which was held from
the undertaking rooms Of W. L..
Pritchett. Dover, on Tuesday
afternoon at 1.30 o'clock. All col
ored people were barred, white
people only being admitted. Rev.
BENJAMIN Fish Thompson, rector
of Christ P. E. Church, Dover, had
charge of the services, and inter-
rent was made in Croker's ceme-
terry. in the northern part of the
town. According to the wish and
will of the deceased the body will
not lie under ground, but will be
placed in a slate vault, weighing
several hundred pounds, which
will be buried in the ground suth-
ciently to cover the casket IN
which his body will be encased.
Members of the college frater-
nifty will attend the funeral and
will act as pallbearers.
Having accumulated some little
wealth, about $4,000, Hall willed
the same to a member of the
fraternity, who has practically
made all the arrangements for the
funeral.
Mr.. and Mrs. Alden B. Richard
son each left a small bequest to

faithful services to the family.

Hundreds of the best druggists who
have been in the drug business long
enough to have their own opinion of
the best way of selling medicines say
the plan adopted by Mi-o-na, the great
dyspepsia remedy, is the fairest they
ever heard of. The Mi-o-na people
don't believe that a medicine ought to
be paid for unless it does the user
some good. And so Mt-o-na is always
sold under a positive guarantee to re-
neVe dyspepsia or to refund the money.
You simply leave SO cents on deposit
with your druggist and if. after YOU
have used the box of Mi-o-na, you de-
eide that 1t has done you no good, all
you have to do is to tell him so and
he Will return your money.
Hundreds of people can tell how they
have been relieved of stomach agonies
by using this remarkable remedy. II
is not simply a food digester; 1t is a
medicine that puts all of the digestive
ruddy, glowing, vigorous health A
change for the better will be seen after
the first few doses of Mi-o-na, and its
continued use will soon give the power
to eat most anything at any time and
not suffer distress afterward
Mi-o-na is sold under a positive guar
antee to refund the money if ii does
not stop all stomach distress. This is
the strongest proof that can be offered
as to the merit OF the medicine
Nothing lessons n mans success in
