STOMACH MISERY QUICKLY
NANISHES

Your money back if you want it is
the way in which Rhodes. the popular
druggist, is selling Mona, the great
dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-na
has so much merit and is so almost
invaribly successful in relieving all
forms Of indigestion that he runs but
little risk in selling under a guaran-
tee Of this kind.
DO not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspep-
STA. Mi-o-na will help you. If it
doesn't, tell Rhodes that you want
your money back and he will cheer
fully refund it.
A change for the better will be seen
from the first few doses of Mi-o-na
and its continued use will soon start
you on the road to perfect digestion
and enjoyment of food
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful that every box is sold under
a positive guarantee to refund the
money if it does not relieve. What
fairer proposition could be made?
Rhodes gives his personal guaran-
tee of money back if you want it"
with every box of Mi-o-na that he
sells. A guarantee like this speaks
volumes for the merit of the remedy.

Give Weight to Statement.

OF all the external ills that Michi-
gan horses can be subject TO, there are
few that a good liniment cannot heal.
For instance, IL. j. Gamlin of Orwell,
Ohio, says: "In the 20 years of my ex-
perience with horses. have cured col
lar boils, shoe boils, scratches, wire
cuts with a liniment which has never
failed TO heal any sore. This remedy
is Hansford's Balsam of Myrrh."

HE WAS ACQUITTED
Tim DurIkin Could Not Sleep With
Four Full Ones in Room.

Tim Durkin, owner of a Topeka pool
hall, was being tried on a charge
said charge being made by the city of
Topeka-Of running a nuisance. The
GODS had raided his place some time
previous and found a barrel or two of
empties. The only real evidence the
city had, however. was two bottles of
LIQUOR found on Durkin's person and
two more found in his room 1t was
upon the latter four bottles that the
city based it's prosecution and things
looked dark for the pool hall proprie-
tor when he was put on the stand in
his own defense.
I'll tell you how it was, judge,
began DurIin. me old friend Miller

Miller got drunk. 1 put him to bed
in my room"
But" snapped George Hayden, city
attorney, what were you doing with
these two bottles on your person."
"Takin' them downstairs" replied
Durlxin.
The city attorney stiffened. Under
the Kansas statute, liquor in place
of business is regarded as prima facie
evidence of prohibitory violations
AHA" said Hayden, why were you
taking that liquor down stairs?"
Because replied Durkin, 'T

HOLLAND STILL SAVES
War Does Not Affect Deposits in
Dutch Banks.

Thrift. which is regarded as one OF

over ore in three of the entire popu-

The war raging all around does not
appear to have diminished the saving

this year the total of the deposits in
the postoffice savings bank had been
reduced by only S2,217,S63 as COM

City Watching Cases-NO
ChickenpOx Danger.

A school boy who carried diphtheria
germs in his throat, and at the same
time showed no symptoms of the dis
ease, was discovered in one of the
schools of the city by DR.. Harold B.
Wood, city health officer, in a search
made by The doctor to locate the
source of the epidemic. Several
months ago a little sister of the boy
died of diphtheria. 1t is believed that
seven other children contracted the
disease from this apparently healthy
boy. He has been taken out of school
and is being given local treatment to
destroy the germs. Cases of this kind
are known to medical science, but are
considered rare.
DIR. Wood also believes that he pre-
vented an epidemic of scarlet fever
Thursday in ore of the schools he dis
covered a boy, who had been ill a
few days and had stayed out OF school.
but who had returned feeling well,
but carrying a typical scarlet fever
rash. This boy had been selected as
one of the singers to attend the re-
hearsal of all the sci DOL children held
in the auditorium Thur sday- By DR..
Woods discovery, the boy was prevent
ed from coming in contact with other
children. However, 1 have already
traced five cases of scarlet fever to
this boy. I think he contracted the
disease from a boy who came here
from Missouri" said DIR. Wood.
so far we have succeeded in con-
filming the chickenpox epidemic to
Potwin. 1t has not appeared in other
parts of the city. There were two new
cases this week, and three last week."

TOO MANY GRADERS.
Merchants at Pretty Prairie Get Or
derS Badly Mixed

Pretty Prairie, Kan. Nov 6-The COR
respondent from here, prompted by
Pennsylvania news story, sent the fol-
lowing to the Chicago Blade:
Having read of the ten Gunnett
families living in Stovertown, Pa, your
correspondent is prompted to state
that the village of Pretty Prairie,
Kan, can peat that record by twenty
five families having the same name
GRADER. The GRADER families are
mostly all large ones, some having as
many as fifteen members. Our post
master has time getting the mail to
the proper persons.
There are eight John GRADERS who
are heads of families, also ten Peter
GRADERS enjoying the same distinction.
Other GRADERS are Henry, Jacob, Ben,
Andrew, not forgettinc Joseph c., the
man that kissed Bryan at Kingman,
who lives here instead of at Murdoch,
as reported.
Three initials, such as Jacob c. H,
Ben P. o. and Peter D. A. are quite
common here, and they are thinking
of starting a four initial plan. Mer-
chants have to be very careful to get
the right initials when GRADERS are
customers, so that the right party
gets the goods or the wrong party is
not charged for them.

Union Pacific Official Predicts Great

New York, Nov. 6.-Judge R. S.

railroad, back from an extensive trip
over the system, said he found condi-
lions in the west much improved.
81 believe earnings of the western
railroad companies" said Mr.. Lovett,
will show substantial improvement
during the next three or four months,
because in addition to the war order
business they will be called upon to
move the large crops this year.
Throughout the west no one looks
for any great boom in business until
after the war. Business is being con-
Quoted along most conservative lines.
IT found conditions throughout the
west and northwest much improved
over those on my last trip"

MOST POPULAR STORY
1.-THE Man Without a Country" Leads
in Kansas Schools.

Edward Everett Hale's 1.-THE Man
Without a Country is the most popu-
lar story in their school books among
Kansas school children, according to
letters received by w. R. Smith, state
printer.
Cards asking the school children to
express themselves upon the books
published by the state have been con-
tanned in each book issued since July
1. Several hundred letters have been
received in reply. Most of these name
the story contained in the readers
which is the writer's favorite. THE
Man Without Country was men
toned many times more than any
other.
One Kansas City, Kan, boy said he
had read his book through several
times in vain attempt to discover an
error.
However" he added, there might
be some for am very poor in Eng

knowledge of Forge Work Needed by
Farmers.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 6.-Knowl-
edge of blacksmithing is one of the
requisites of a successful Kansas farm
er, according to professors in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college. A man
who has had practice in forging will
save many dollars in repair bills He
will weld a broken rod or shaft in a
few minutes and lose little time and
no money. His neighbor who cannot
forge will have to stop work and take
the broken piece to the town black
smith, losing much valuable time and
adding repair bill to his expense ac-
count.
The man who knows iron will
sharpen his own plowShareS on
rainy day. The man who does not
know iron will pay his wise neighbor
or the village smith twenty-five cents
for every one he has sharpened. Not
only can the trained man repair brok
en- parts but can with equal skill
shape new parts at price far under
that charged by the local repair man.

Chicago, Nov 6.-Congressman

candidate in favor of Elihu Root of
New York.
CONGRESSMAN Mann said today, in

$3.50 MOTORCYCLE NOW
Manufacturers Make Great Improve
ments on POp-Pop Machines.

One hundred and fifty dollars will
buy more motorcycle now than
ever before. The introduction of a
new principle in motorcycle motor
design has resulted in simpler, lighter
and cheaper machines, and there are
those who believe that the tendency
toward these less speedy mounts will
serve to bring many into motorcy-
cling's ranks who heretofore have
feared either the price the speed, or
the poundage of the heavyweight
twins.
The new type of motor is called a
''two-stroke,' because it has one pow
er impulse for every revolution of the
every two revolutions in the four
cycle motor. The two-cycle has been
aptly termed the single with the twin
impulse
Aside from this quite evident ad-
vantage which makes possible the
elimination of one cylinder without
impairing the smooth running of the
motor, the two-cycle has one other
feature that commendS it to the mo-
torcyclists. There is not a valve in
it; in fact, the crank shaft, the con-
Meeting rod, and tie piston are the
only movable parts. The parts for
the intake and exhaust of the gases
all are opened and closed by the pis-
duced weight and simplicity.
1t would seem that the motorcycle
manufacturers are on the right road
to produce a machine which is the
acme of simplicity, easily handled.
capable of going anywhere-for most
of them are provided with two and
three speed gears.

Committee Named to Solicit Aid

New York, Nov. 6.-Among the
thousands of Belgian soldiers now in
hospitals in England and in France,
detained in camps in Holland, and
spread need of good books, and a COM
mittee that has been formed to enlist
American aid in the matter announces
that books or money for their pur-

the Belgian minister at Washington,
Joseph H. Choate, Charles ]. Bona
parte, Rev. ]. F. Stillemans of the
Belgian relief fund, and Louis de Sad
elier, minister of state for Belgium,
who is in New York.
A statement given out by the COM
mittee reads:
1.-The heroism of the Belgian SOL
diers has won universal admiration.
Thousands of them are now in hos
pitfalls in England and in France, de-
tanned in camps in Holland, and pris-
oners in Germany.
Suffering and deprived of liberty
without news from their relatives now
somewhere in poverty or dead, the
anxiety of those brave men must be
most painful.
well educated as they are, and
without recreations any intelligent
person is looking for, nothing can do
more to alleviate their sufferings
than literature in their own language.
There is a real need among those
Belgian soldiers for books in French
and Flemish, and to a certain extent
in English Especially works of
travel and novels, history, books on
electricity, mechanics, motoring, ETC.,
and illustrated magazines of all kinds;
also grammars for the study of Eng

GIVE MANY SHORT COURSES.
Tradesmen and Farmers Have OppOr
tunfty at Agricultural College.

Manhattan, Kan, Nov. 6.-B1ack-
smiths, millwrights, automobile men,
surveyors, road overseers and county
commissioners, as well as farmers will
have an opportunity to get at the agri-
cultural college some practical work
along the line of the occupations.
Special short courses in traction en-
gines, concrete construction, shop
work, and road building have been an
nounced for the ten weeks in which
farm work is usually slack, from Jan
uary to March Is.
Courses are intended for men who
want practical knowledge but have not
the opportunity to take a technical
engineering course. With the extern
sive use of concrete and of traction
engines on the farm, it is expected that
a large number of farmers will take
the short courses.
Experts in the college will give to
the students in the short courses
series of general lectures on such
as rural architecture, water
supply, electricity, irrigation ana
drainage.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 6.-"Every-

which President Thos. w. Butcher of
the Kansas Normal school at Emporia
will begin next week statewide
movement against illiteracy.
There are approximately $4,000 il
iterates in Kansas" says President
Butcher. This is 20 per cent of the
population. OF these about one-half
are negroes and the other half for
eign born whites. 1t is not the rural
population but the illiterates of the
cities that raise our percentage"
The work, with the assistance of
State superintendent Ross, will be
carried out through the county and
city superintendents. A county and
township census OF Iliterates will first
be compiled.
Iowa, Nebraska, Oregon and Wash

says President Butcher. 1T is our
aim to reduce the number of Hitter
ates in Kansas to less than one hun

ter noisily at the approach of any
body, and especially small boys, when
Romeo was dosing.
But now the bird has lost her job
through the disgrace brought upon
her by a newly acquired family of
six little jay birds. Romeo says they
ought to be called Jail birds. They
saw their mother plucking her daily
allowance of six peanuts, and, learn
ing to fly, began to gather peanuts
on their own account
So today Romeo moved his stand
half a block from the jay bird tree,
covered the stock with a cloth and
hired a boy to shoe the birds away.
