MANY BOYS ARE KILLED
Majority of Dead British Officers Are
Under so Years.

London, Oct. 30.-The toll of young
officers is especially heavy Just now,
as the subalterns, of Kitchener's army,
which is at last in action, are in great
part lads out of the upper schools and
colleges. Recent casualty lists show,
to take one example, that out of 1872
officers killed in action, 102 were
under thirty years of age and of these
eighty were under twenty-six years.
There were five aged eighteen years,
ten aged nineteen, thirteen aged twenty
and fifteen aged Jwenty-oue years.
They included the sons of lawyers,
clergymen, military officers, doctors
and members of parliament Thirty
one of the lost were only sons.

ject will prove a valuable asset to thu

DR.. c. c. Lull. Republican.

Will the Democrats funk when they
attempt to put a full party ticket in
the field for the next county election
That they will, is the prophecy made
with unholy glee by old line Repub-
hcans- And the self-same Repub-
licans are jubilant over the forest OF
political timber that they are exhibit
ing
The Democrats, it is known, are just
little bit worried over the situation
themselves. But they say that a full
ticket will be put in the field. In
the meantime they are looking for i
David to maneuver against the prac-
tlcally solid county Republicans and
break up their formation. The court
house will be solid Republican after
the next election, say Republican wire
pullers. Maybe, is the sarcastic retort
hurled back by the Democratic ele-
ment, despite the fact that there is
only one Democratic county official,
W. E. Atchison, county attorney, at
present.
Plurality of 1000.
The Republicans cite a plurality of
1000 votes at the last election. So
far, the Republicans have from one
to a half dozen candidates lined up for
every office at the court house. The
Democrats-well, they say it's early
yet.
Despite the fact that the primary
election is long time off-nearly
eight months-the Republican scram-
a rush that is fast developing into a
landslide. Fences are being built and
handshaking is again coming into its
own. Results in a county campaign
uonal and state. The personal ele-
ment enters into the scramble and the
innocent voter will be amply reminde
that there is a primary election COM
ing off before next August.
Two county commissioners chairs
are going to be open for the choice nf
the Shawnee county voter. Fred Nipps
who occupies the office for the Second
district probably will run again but
has made no definite decision. ]. c.
Sinner, commissioner from the Third
district, will not run for reelection
Already there has been mad scram-
BILE to get in the line for Sinners Of
flee.
Candidates I'm the Field.
Candidates who are in the field are:
]. T Duncan, Henry McAfee, Ed Buck
man and John Troutman. Duncan
lives at Wakarusa and is secretary of
the Republican central committee. He
Is a farmer and stockman. Henry
McAfee is a prominent stockman aud
agriculturiSt living a short distance
west of Topeka. Ed buchanan is a
Mission county farmer, while Trout
man is at present trustee of the To-
peka township board.
And the taxpayers are going to de-
vote little more interest than usual
to those county commissioners jobs.
Just at present, there is $4,000
deficit in the county finances. In the
last six months the commission room
has been, figuratively speaking, in the
Imelight. and subject to sundry mutt
terings and rumbles growing out of
financial questions.
And when primary time-the time
for the survival of the fittest-rolls
around-what? The widest prophet
in the game refuses to attempt to pick
the winners Meanwhile the sun shines
fxrFf a
at the election-maybe, say the De,-a-
ocrats.

COUNT GOLD BY WEIGHT
England Saves $4,000 on Shipments
to United States

London. Oct. 30.-The Bank of
England's system of valuing gold coins
by weight as against the United States
treasury's face value computation has
saved the former 100000 on only two
shipments to America
The first shipment on reaching
New York was counted coin for coin
and found to contain $4,000 too
much The last consignment of 49,
100000 was $4,000 heavy. These
amounts were turned over to the
financial agents of Great Britain in
New York and will be properly ap-
piled on future shipments.
The American system of computing
gold coins is for face value, it was
pointed out here, unless more than
one-hah of one per cent has worn
away.

GLASS Of SALTS If
YOUR KIDNEYS HURT
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
have Bladder trouble-Salts
fine for Kidneys.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their efforts
to filter it from the system. Regular eat

siona1ly. You must relieve them like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
acids, waste and poison, else you feel
dull misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache, diz.
illness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad you
have rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to get
up two or three times during the. night.
TO neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from airy pharmacy; take. a table
spoonful in q glass of water before break
fast for few days and your kidneys will
then act fine and bladder disorders dis
appear. : lis famous salts is made from
the acid Of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate slug
gish kidneys and stop bladder irritation.
Jad Salts is inexpensive; harmless and
makes delightful effervescent lithia-
water drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

RECOGNIZE YOUR FRIENDS.

Federal Bird Warden Jos. Eheim
says the longer he is on his Job the
better he likes it. He feels that it
may afford him a chance to do prac-
tical work in educating public senti-
ment for the protection of our birds,
some species of which are in danger of
becoming extinct.
If birds are protected and encouraged
to nest about the farm and garden"
says Mr.. Eheim, 'they will render
valuable service in destroying noxious
weeds and insects. A few hours spent
putting up boxes for blue birds, martins
and wrens will prove good investment.
Zone of the worst foes of our native
birds is the house cat. If cats are to
find place in the home every effort
should be made by generously feeding
them and by watching them to insure
the safety of the birds, and cat without
home should be put out of the way.
"a few, but not all, hawks are de-
structive of birds and chickens. The
cooper and sharp Skinned hawk, are
the worst. We should learn to know
these daring robbers by sight so as to
kill them whenever possible.
'sBird houses should be put out
early so they may become weather
beaten. For some weeks before the
birds are ready to begin nesting they
are flying around searching for sites
