FOURTEEN DEATHS FROM
WHOOPING COUGH IN YEAR

Next to pneumonia and prema-
turity, whooping cough has been
the most costly disease in Topeka,
according to records in the city
health office. During the first six
months of this year more deaths oc-
Cured among children from whoop-
ing cough than from any other dis
ease.
There are three or four localities
in the city where whooping cough
epidemics are flourishing. Only two
cases. however, have been volun-
tarily reported to the city health Of
flee. Harlod B. Wood, city health
officer, made an investigation. Near
the two cases reported he located
eleven others, making the total
known cases thirteen. Doctor Wood
believes there are many more in the
city.
"Whooping cough is very dan
gerous disease, especially among
children" said Doctor Wood yester-
day. "it is contagious and should be
carefully quarantined. Children
afflicted should be kept from other
children until the cough has entire
" disappeared. People generally
have not recognized the seriousness
Of the disease and do not know the
high per cent Of cases which result
fatally. During the last three years
there have been fourteen deaths
from whooping cough in Topeka.
Only pneumonia and prematurity
nave a higher death rate among

Conference at Boston Ends With
Strong Appeal
DEFENSE PLANS DIsCU
Standing Army Should BE Increased
and Trained Reserve of ESQ.,
900 Men Ready for Ser
vice

Boston, Mass, Aug. 2S.-After
discussion of the naval and military
resources of the country in which
it was generally agreed that the
United States Is not adequately
prepared against foreign invasion,
the conference of governors ended
its annual sessions yesterday. No
resolutions on the subject were
proposed, but several of the eXeCu-
tives said they felt certain all the
governors would return to their
states with the intention of de.
manding from their congressman
support I'm any programme for
strengthening the force of defense.
The governors chose Salt Lake
City as the place for next years
meeting and elected the governor
of Utah, William Spry, as chairman
OF the executive committee. Other
committeeman were: Governor
Stuart OF Virginia and Governor
Camper of Kansas. Former Gov.
ernor John Franklin Fort Of New
Jersey again was chosen treasurer
and Miles G. Riley of Madison, Wis.,,
was reelected secretary.
The discussion Of the governors
was prefaced by remarks from Sec.
rotary of Commerce William C..
.Redfield, who urged restraint Of
speech and sOberness of thought in
what he termed these trying times.
Redfield Urges Defense
with that spirit of restraint"
he added, "shOuld we not be ready
for any kind Of emergency that may
arise? Should we not at least have
the tools ready, not for offense but
for defense of our natiOn?'
Gov. James F. Fielder Of New Jer-
sey told the governors that every
state in the Union should he pre-
pared at all times to furnish the
government with its part of an army
of 100000 trained and equipped
citizen soldiers. 1.-THE burden of pre-
pairing does, or should, rest to
large extent on the state. Personal
Nv, / do not believe in a great stand
ing army, but most heartily be-
lieve that there should be force
Of men in this country who would
be called on in emergency who
would know how to handle a rifle.
Most business men believe in in
surance. Then why not insure this
country against the unexpected?'

DIET FOR THE WAR HORSES
Quantity Of Oats Is Restricted to Make
the German Supply
Go Further.

The German government has re.
stricted the quantity of oats which
may be given to horse to 215 to 319
pounds daily, and German horse own
ers are afraid that this restriction will,
injuriously affect the health and use
fulness of their animals. In recent
issue of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger
Doctor Klinger, city veterinary, shows
that these fears are groundless. His
experiments, carried on during many
years with large numbers of horses
convinced him that maize forms {
very satisfactory substitute for oats
At present, however, maize is al
scarce as oats, so that some other sub
stitute must be found. The most oh
vious one is potatoes, which are yer.
abundant and have been stored il
great quantities by all German com
munities.
Potatoes differ from maize, chief.
In containing little less starch an
considerably less digestible albumer
The deficiency in starch can be met b.
increasing the ration, and the def
cheney in albumen can be compensate
by adding a small quantity of som
food that is rich in albumen.

Most Primitive Race Of Men.

The North pole natives alluded to
by Captain Amundsen in recent lee
ture were discovered by him while he
was navigating his little craft, the
Gjoa, through the Northwest Passage
in 1903-1907. He christened them
Nechilli, and considered them to be
the most primitive race on earth. No
white man had ever before invaded
their icy fastnesses. Consequently they
were ignorant of the use of iron. Their
fishing implements were long spears,
fashioned out of reindeer horn. They
knew no other method of procuring
fire than that of rubbing two pieces of
wood together. They were, in short,
still in the stage of civilization reached
by our ancestors of the stone age So
cut off were they from others of their
kind that they imagined their tribe
was the only one in the world and dis
played the utmost astonishment when
told of populous countries far to the
south, where neither ice nor snow was
The Gjoa and her crew they thought
to have dropped from the moon,- and
the first Nechilli to come aboard fell
the deck, masts, boats, oars, all the
while whispering to one another il
amazement: How much wood tier,
| is in the moon-how very much!"

Hinh ExnlosIve Shells.

One of the surprises of the war has
oeen the great relative demand for
high explosive shells as compared
with the demand for shrapnel. The
consumption of both has exceeded all
estimates, but it is shell that the new
conditions have most strikingly af-
fected. There was time when it was
considered more noisy than dangerous
and in field operations more useful to
shake the enemy's nerve than to in
fiict damage; while as to the deadli-
ness of shrapnel against an enemy that
1t could reach there has never been
question. But in the elaborate
trenches employed in this war the men
are fairly we'll sheltered from shrap-
mel, and for the special purpose of pre-
pairing the way for an attack high ex-
plosive shell in prodigious quantities
! is required. That the British are still
short is indicated by the complaint of
! the Times correspondent that the ad-
vance attempted near Fremelles was
weakened by forced economy in the
use of ammunition. The French seem
to be better off, and if the Germans
have felt any scarcity on either front
| they have succeeded in keeping it a
secret, which is the next best thing
| to having plenty.
