COUNTRY FOLKS HEAR
CONCERTS OVER TELEPHONE

Emporia, March 19.-The music
department of the state normal at
Emporia, with the cooperation OF
the Emporia telephone company, has
lust performed a new feat in the
way of community service. A large
horn has been installed in the mu-
sic studio. This is attached to the
telephone wire and when the rural
lines have been connected, concerts
given in the music hall can be en-
joyed by several score of rural sub
scribers. There is no financial con-
sideration in the plan and is purely
one of community service.
The first test was made when
several members of the state nor
NAL school department Of music
gave selections, vocal, piano and
violin, which were clearly heard at
Hartford, Kansas, a distance OF
about twenty miles. The idea was
originated by F. A. Beach, director
of the music department at the
Kansas state normal sihool. A num-
Der of musicals have been planned.

independence was chosen over
Leavenworth as the 1916 meeting

districts which deserved the utmost
consideration.

church members at the start of the

the matter Of church support on o
business-like basis, much better re-

Invasion
RAIDERS ESCAPE IN A MIST

Paris, March 22.-Zeppelin air
ships raided Paris Sunday and drop
ped a dozen bombs, but the dam
age done was unimportant. Seven
or eight persons were injured, but
only one seriously. Four of the air
craft started for the capital, fol-
lowing the valley of the Disc, but
only two reached their goal.
The Zeppelins travelled at a great
height, estimated at considerably
more than a mile. This, and the
light haze in the upper air levels,
enabled the raiders to escape.
In all, half a hundred bombs, it
is estimated, were dropped ON Paris
and surrounding villages and towns.
Paris remained calm while the
aerial invasion was in progress and
residents of the city exhibited more
curiosity than fear as to the re-
suits. Trumpets gave the signal that
all lights must be extinguished as
soon as warning was received OF
the Zeppelin's approach. Search
lights were turned upon the clouds.
anti-aircraft guns opened fire and
aeroplanes rose to attack the Ger
mans but their operations were ham
pered by a heavy mist.

Topeka, March 20.-Efforts are

accept the cattle for shipment, I'M
less the neutrality-suspicious. law is re-
Taxed. If the federal government
will give assurances that 1t will not
apply the twenty-eight1hour law In
this emergency about 100 cars OF
cattle will be moved right away.
Governor Capper received a tele'
gram from the agricultural depart
ment at Washington stating that
the department there could not alb
rogate the twenty-eight-hour ship
ping law. However" said the tele-
gram, existing conditions are al
ways given consideration when vio-
lations are reported" The various
railways will likely begin shipping
cattle from Butler county to the
Chicago market right away and
take their chances.
Ten days of sunshine will do
more to eradicate the foot and
mouth disease in Kansas than anv
other element, according to DR.. U.
G. Houck of the federal bureau of
animal industry, who came to To-
peka to confer with Governor Cap
per concerning the live stock situa-
ton in southern Kansas. There have
been no fresh outbreaks of the dis
ease in eight days, DR.. Houck de-
clared.
At present Walnut river is being
patroled by a squad of special po-
lice. Feed lots and pastures, where
the disease was discovered. will b.
quarantined for at least a year.

: THE SECRET OF SUCCESS
Genuine Merit Required to Win the

Have you ever stopped to reason
why it is that so many products
that are extensively advertised, all
at once drop out of sight and are
soon forgotten? The reason is plain
the article did not fulfil the
promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a med
icine. A medicinal preparation that
has real curative value almost sells
itself, as like an endless chain sys-
tenn the remedy is recommended by
those who have been benefited, to
those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says Take
for example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, a preparation l have sold for
many years and never hesitate to
recommend, for in almost every
case 1t shows excellent results, as
many Of my customers testify. No
other kidney remedy that I know of
has so large a sale"
According to sworn statements
and verified testimony of thousands
who have used the preparation, the
success OF DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root
is due to the fact that it fulfils al
most every wish in overcoming kid
ney, liver and bladder diseases.
