DISCOVERS DYE SECRET
Philadelphian Comes to Rescue of
American Hose Manufacturers.

Philadelphia, July S.-The black
dye famine due to the war is about
over. it is believed, through the dis
covery of w. Aims, Philadelphia
chemist.
In the midst of prosperity numerous
hosiery mills throughout the country
have been facing the possibility of
being forced to close because of the
scarcity of dyes. A test of the new
dye made secretly in laboratories of
Philadelphia dye houses showed, it is
announced, that the dye is one with
which the average hosiery manufac-
turer will be perfectly satisfied.
This means, if true, that American
textile manufacturers will be from now
on independent of the German dye
makers and will be able to produce
their own fast blacks

URGES BETTER SCHOOLS
Oklahoma Editor Says State Must
Keep Farmers in Country.

Chicago, ILL.,, July S.-That better
educational facilities in the rural dis
tricts should be established by the
state to prevent prosperous farmers
from moving with their children to
the cities for the advantage of better
schools there, was the suggestion of
John Fields, editor of the Oklahoma
Farm Journal, who addressed the
Bankers-FarmerS conference today.
IF you would build the whole COM
munity,'' said Fields, begin with the
country schools. Develop them until
there is no reason whatever for the
moving TO town to send the children
to school.
Build the whole of your COM
munity by making all of the condi
lions of life as desirable on farms as
in city lots. Less than this will not
work for permanent agricultural and
community betterment.'
J. r. Moorehead of Kansas City also
spoke today.

Many Prominent Kansans EX-
pected at Fridays Convention.
Several Plans Already Have
Been Suggested.

Many prominent Kansans will be in
Topeka Friday to attend the flood
congress, recently called by Governor
Capper. Plans for the prevention of
floods through the building of dikes
and reservoirs will be considered and
it is probable that definite flood pre-
VentiOn program will be checked up to
the next legislature.
Following the recent floods in the
haW Marias des Cygne, NeoshO, Re-
publican and Verdegris valleys Gov
ernor Capper urged state action to pre-
vent future destruction of property,
through the building of bikes or
storage of flood waters. One plan
presented to the governor proposes
the building of &c large reservoirs in
the kaw river watershed. These
reservoirs would store much of the
flood water and would be available for
use during the dry season. An ex-
penSe of about twelve million dollars
would be necessary to carry out the
plan which has been urged by Union
Pacific officials.
State officers, members of the legis-
lature and even several memb ers of
congress are expected to participate
in the meeting. A number. of munich
pal. county and drainage district Of
ficia1s are also expected.
One of the real issues before the
counties in the flood district is the re-
building of bridges lost during the re
cent overflow In many counties the
bridge levy has reached the maximum
and thousands of dollars worth of
bonds must be issued to combat the
present situation and repair the losses.
Recently bridge losses in the state as
a result of the 1915 high water, were
estimated at more than a million dol
lars.
Estimates of the expense of flood
prevention to the individual farmer
will probably be MADE by members of
the state tax commission. A half
dozen plans for meeting the flood sit
uati% in the big watersheds of the
state have been advanced. While it
is hardly probable that a definite pro-
gram will be outlined at the Friday
all plans will be considered
and a permanent committee named
with instructions to make recommen-
dations to the 1917 legislature.

Summer-Spoiled Skin
Removed by Absorption

As undue summer exposure usually
leaves an undesirable surface of tan, red
ness rOughness, often freckles. too, the
sensible thing to do is to remove such sur
face. There's nothing better for this than
ordinary mercoliZed wax, which actually
absorbs an unwholesome complexion. The
thin layer of surface skin is itself alb
sorbed, gently. gradually. so there's no in
convenience, no detention indoors. Spread
the wax lightly over the entire face at
with warm water. If you will get one
ounce of mercolized wax at the drugstore,
use it for a week or so, you may expect

complexion will be a marvel of spotless

MORE WORK; LESS help
Court of Topeka Compared With That
of Wichita.

Although situated in a larger city
and county and having jurisdiction in
cases involving larger sums than can
be litigated In the court of Topeka,
there is a smaller amount of business
in the court of the city of Wichita,
according to Judge L. P. PierpOnt, who
was a visitor at the court house here
Wednesday. Judge Pierpont's duties
correspond to those assigned to Judge
Hugh Fisher-the trial of civil ac-
lions covering amounts smaller than
those handled in the district court, the
hearing of preliminary examinations
and the trial of miSdemeanor cases.
While handling a smaller number
of cases, the Wichita court is oper-
ated with more help, a matter of no
little envy on the part of Douglas Ora
ham. clerk of the court of Topeka,
and George Frost, its marshal. If they
were serving in Sedgwick county era
ham would have assistant and
Frost would have another deputy.
