1t is a matter of common knowl-

tied the institutions, and the resolu-
ton is intended to smoke him out and
force an admission that he has no
personal knowledge of the needs of
the institutions.
The following is Senator Waggener's
resolution:
Whereas, the state auditor in his
nineteenth biennial report has made
recommendations as to the necessities
of each of the state institutions for the
years 1916 and 1917, and
Whereas, it is important that the
senate has the best and most reliable
information obtainable on the subject

An Easy Way to Get
Fat and Be Strong

The trouble with most thin folks who
wish to gain weight is that they insist
on drugging their stomach stuffing 1t

cause of thinness goes untouched You
cannot get fat until your digestive tract
assimilates the food you eat.
Thanks to a remarkable scientific
discovery, it is now possible to combine
into simple form the very elements
needed by the digestive organs to help
them convert food into rich. fat-laden
blood. This master stroke of modern
chemistry is called Sargol and has been
termed the greatest of flesh builders.

WATCHFUL WAITING.
Topeka PostOffice Cannot Be Moved
Until Washington Gives Word.

The reason that the postoffice did
not open on scheduled time Saturday
was the awaiting the arrival of a gov
eminent inspector from Washington.
All of the work in remodeling the fed
eral building and everything is COM
pleted, but until the agent of Uncle
Sam puts his stamp of approval On the
alteration, the postoffice cannot be
moved.
1t is hoped that the inspector will
arrive in Topeka this week for open
ing Saturday. Postmaster Rigby,
however, says he has received no def
mite word from Washington, but is
hiding his time patiently. Until the
slow moving wheels of the govern
ment get into action, the Kel1am
building will serve as the poStoffice. 1t
may be only a few days, it may be a
month or two before the office is firm

The present system which obtains in
our town is probably about as bad
a system as could be well devised for

to secure satisfactory results, a road
commissioner should be selected who
has sufficient knowledge and eXper-

modern problems of road building.
The Office should be permanent. dur

the Commissioner. and under such a

conditions which prevail in our part
OF the country with reasonable cost
for maintenance. In such cases
there is very little use of undertaking
to build a road, unless the community

This kind of work cannot be econom-

reason that it requires large amounts
of crushed stone and the application
of some kind of binder in the shape
of heavy asphalt oil, TO properly
construct such road requires
large amount of special equipment
such as crushing plant, steam roller
and various devices for properly
spreading the binder together with
gasoline trucks or traction engines
