The Gospel Mission. pa and ZIG John

campaign to raise s1.75o, necessary to
! meet the yearly payment on the build
ing now occupied by the organization
which falls due early in May. Three
of these instal1ments have been sue
cessfully met in the past three years
and a satisfactory conclusion to the
present campaign will have the mission
free of debt save for comparatively
small mortage. Five hundred dollars
has already been raised. it is stated
and HerbertW. Kline, superintendent OF
the institution, has expressed conf
dence that the greatly increased scope
of the mission work during the past
year will recommend the organization
to the charitable people of the District
in this final effort to raise the neces-
sary sum and wipe out the debt which
has hitherto acted as an impeachment
to the efforts of those in charge to
accomplish the greatest good within
the neighborhood whose interests it
serves
To a Star reporter Supt. Kline recent
ly explained every phase of the work
undertaken and told of the twenty
seven different branches of activity in
those who come to it for aid. In this
list are the Boy Scouts, the Camp Fire

No Wonder He Changed 1t.

A peculiar contest arose over the
naturalization of Peter Pappas, the
Greek candy man, which came UP in
court this week at Independence,
says the Conservative. Following
the filing of Mr.. Pappas' petition OH
the l4th of last January, a federal
inspector investigated the matter as
is customary, and upon his report
Inspector NJ. r. Bevington for the
government filed a motion to dis
miss the Pappas petition for the rea-
son that his application had not
been made in his full and true name.
and that one Of his witnesses was
not in fact able to testify that he
had known applicant personally for
the required tenn of five years. Mr.
Pappas stated 10 the court that it
was true that the application had
not been made in his true name as
spelled in Greek; that his name real
ly is Panagilotes Papadopulos, but
that after coming to America PEG
pie here found his name so hard TO
pronounce that they shortened it
down to Pappas, and for convent
ence he, himself adopted that as his
name. He has since been known by
that name and conducts his business
in that name and was not aware that
| it was necessary for him in making
his application to give the original
Greek name. Upon hearing the full
particulars, Judge Mullan, after try
ing to pronounce Pappas' other
name, overruled the motion to dis
miss, and directed the clerk to issue
a certificate admitting Mr.. Pappas II
full citizenship.

such good results, feel it my duty to
write you about it, so that you may

My mother is living with me, and
she is 81 years old. For the last three
or four years, she has been troubled a
great deal with cramping spells, and
for days at a time, she would have a
severe headache.
She read Of how much Cardui has
helped other women who were sick
and ailing, and decided to give it a
trial. She began taking it three times
q day, and since then has been getting
along simply fine.
Mother only used four bottles of
Cardui, but she is no longer troubled
with the severe headaches, and her
stomach is so much stronger that she
can eat most anything.
We both feel that any lady who Is
not strong and we'll, would be greatly
benefited by the use Of Cardui."

KANSAS CITY MARKETS.
Reported by Our Correspondent on
Daily Live Stock Doings.

Kansas City Stock Yards, MAY 10,
1915.-More then 10000 stockers
and feeders were bought here last
week on the break of % to 80 cents
inaugurated first of the week. This
number cleaned up the supply, and
left the market free to register the
full amount of strength that devel-
oped this morning on receipts of T.
500 cattle which supply was quite
a reduction from recent Mondays.
Fat cattle are selling 10 to 10
higher today and stockers and
feeders are unevenly higher, the
better grades selling at S7.75, to
1925, medium grades $500 to ST.
rs. Some sugar beet pulp feeders
sold at S7.75 this morning, and
choice high bred Panhandle feeders
brought SS.25, the top. Kansas pas
lures are in fine condition, and are
lightly stocked, fewer cattle having
been brought up from Texas this
spring than usual, conditions that
make the Kansas men strong buyers.
They are taking good weight steers
as rule. A feature of the fat cat
tie market in the last week encour-
aging to stocker and feeder buyers
is the stronger prices being paid for
heavy steers, sales of cattle weigh
ing over 1,400 TBS. being made here
today at SIS to $3.50, considered 10
to 10 higher. J. E. Davidson, Of
Wapello, Iowa, who was here last
week buying stock steers, comment
ing on the general situation, remark
ed, I'VE need a good many cattle
and while these high prices stagger
US, there seems to he a feeling
abroad that this is going to be a
good corn year, and that grass will
be good. This may have something
to do with stimulating the market
for young cattle" Choice cows are
selling at Sc to $3.50, good heifer
calves $3.50 to $3.50, according to
weight, well bred, thin necked young
bulls that will look like steers in the
fall S5.75 to $685..

A simple method to soften hard

hour, pour it into an earthen jug,
add a quarter of an ounce of common
soda in each two gallons, stir, and
when cold carefully pour off the clear
water from the sediment.
