ILL HEALTH COST
American Workers Lose Three
quarters Billion Yearly.
Gigantic Tax Falls on Workers
Who Can't Stand 1t.

Washington, June 4.-Three quar-
tiers of a billion dollars, at a very con-
sentative estimate, is the annual
money tax levied by ill-health upon
wageworkers in the United States in
the form of lost wages and expenses of
sickness. The greater part of this
gigantic tax falls upon those workers
who are least able to afford it, since
sickness has been found to be much
more prevalent among low-paid work
ers than among those whose incomes
are sufficient to provide sanitary
housing, adequate food and favorable
surroundings in the home and in the
place of work.
These conclusions are among those
given in report on sickness insurance
to the federal commission on indus
trial relations which was prepared in
cooperation with the United States
public health service. The report was
prepared by Surgeon B. S. Warren of
the public health service, who was
detailed sanitary adviser to the
commission, and Edgar Sydenstricker,
a memb of the commissions staff.
The estimate given above is based
on a careful examination of the sick
recordS of nearly a million workers in
this country and is found to CORE
Spond very closely to the figures af-
forded by the sick records for a long
period of years of about twenty-six
million workers in Germany and Great
Britain. 1t includes, the report points
out, merely the loss of wages during
illness and the expenses of medical at
sideration the impairment of the
workers efficiency and vigor, or the
cost of illness of members of his
family

FLY DOES DAMAGE.
Republic County Farmer Reports
Wheat Crop Badly Injured.

In a letter to the State Journal, c.
E. Hunter, Republic county farmer,
says that the Hessian fly is doing
great damage to the wheat in his part
of the country. Mr.. Hunter says that
the crop reports are exaggerated, and
ports merely go through on the train
and do not examine the fields closely
they cannot give a true report of the
condition of the grain. The only way
to get a true report of the damage is
to go into the field and examine the
stalks, he says
Mr.. Hunter says in part: Il have
just gone through field of wheat
that looked fine from the road, where
most of the reports come from. In
this field the owner and went
through, and we found the fly in num-
bers from one to three to the stalk.
have talked to a man in town who
has large field of wheat. This
farmer says that his crop looks as fine
as any he had ever seen. But he Of
fered it for II bushels to the acre de-
livered.
MANY of the farmers in this dis
trict are blowing up their wheat and
others will do so soon.
THE reports have Republics aver
This is at least one-third too high.
These reports are the biggest curse
the farmer has, as they are accepted
as true in the cities and the price of
wheat is showed down by the mislead-
ing statements of the men who go
through on the train and do not know
the extent of the damage.
The most of the early corn will
have to be replanted on account of
the cut worm. Each farmer in this
county has from o to rs acres of corn
which was damaged by this pest"

DON'T USE SOAP
ON YOUR HAIR

When you WASH your nair. don't
use soap. Most soaps and prepared
shampooS contain too much alkall,
which is very injurious, as 1t dries
the scalp and makes the hair brit
tie.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for 1t is
pure and entirely greaSeleSs. It's
very cheap, and beats soaps or any
thing else all to pieces. You can
get this at any drug store, and a
few ounces will last the whole fam
lily for months
Simply moisten the hair with wa
ter and rub it in, about a tea
spoonful is all that is required. 1t

FLOOD DOES BIG DAMAGE.
Sixteen Bridges and CulvertS Washed
Out in LcaVenwOrth.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 4.-Flood
damages to bridges and culverts in the
city of LeavenwOrth will run into the
thousands of dollars and will call for
an increased levy in August to make
the necessary repairs.
Harry Perkins, city engineer, was
instructed to prepare a rough esti-
and turn it in at the next meeting of
the city commissioners. Matt Malone,
street commissioner, told the board
that sixteen structures had been
washed out. From the discussion it
was evident that the city commits
sioners will put in concrete structures

Collections Above Normal.

THE retail and wholesale trade is
not quite up to normal" he said.
However, collections are slightly bet
ter than normal. except such slight
bills as depend upon wages. Build
ing operations are not as extensive as
a year ago and as a consequence labor
is not as fully employed. The har-

probably give employment to many
who are now ;dle and conditions will
undoubtedly improve"

X. q. REPORTS EARTHQUAKE.
SeiSmOgraph Records a Disturbance
Probably in Japan

Seismograph Records a Disturbance
Probably in Japan.
Lawrence, Kan, June 4.-The seis-
mOgraph at the University of Kansas
recorded an earthquake disturbance
Wednesday morning, bearing the fol-
lowing time records: Primary wave,
9:54:08; secondary wave, 10:05:49;
main wave, about 1911; end of dis
turbance, about 10:48.
The main wave was very prominent,
but the record at the beginning of the
disturbance was somewhat c1Ogged,
probably because of a series of dis
turbances at the place where the rec
ord was made.
The estimated distance of the dis
turbance from Lawrence is 1000
miles, and while the direction is I'M
certain, it seems probable that it may
have been in Japan.

SHIP CRUSHED BY ICE;
ALL ON BOARD SAFE

Chicago, Feb. 5.-The steamer Iowa
of the Goodrich Transit company was
caught in the ice about three miles off
the Chicago harbor and sank.
The crew and passengers, number
ing seventy-one, took to the ice. City
tugs and the lifesaying crew started
to their rescue.
The steward of the Iowa, Charles
Pinsoneault, reached shore and re-
ported that all aboard the vessel had
taken to the ice and were struggling
in. He said he believed all would
reach shore safely. There was one
passenger aboard the vessel.
Messages by wireless from the
steamer were received shortly before
the Iowa sank asking for help. Two
hours before city employees on the
north shore thought they say two men
struggling toward the shore over the
ice hummocks. The lifesavers going
to the rescue saw the ship sink.
