Delegation of 1872 From the
Atchison Home Visits the
Legislature.
HEADED BY BALE WAGGENER
The Object of the Senator Was q
Final Effort to Get a $4,000
Appropriation for the States
Charges.

Topeka-An animated petition, con-
sisting of 1872 of the 1S9 orphans who
are inmates at the state home at
Atchison, was presented to the Kansas
legislature the other day by Senator
Bale Waggener, in a final effort to
influence the lawmakers to appropri-
ate $4,000 for a manual training and
domestic science building for the in
stitution. Headed by Waggener the
children marched from the senate to
the house. from the house to the treas
urer's office, and wound up with visit
to Governor Capper
4 am not asking much of this legis-
lature,' Waggener told the members
of the house. There is no political
preferment l want; no personal ambi-
tions left to satisfy. My race is al
most run The only ambition / have
left, is to have the state of Kansas
take care of these helpless little ones.'
Waggener spoke against the advice
of his physician, as he is not physical
ly strong. The personal appeal of the
children is the strongest argument
ever presented to the legislature for
any appropriation bill The orphans
may get the manual training building,
according to gossip in legislative cir

WILL FIGHT CATTLE DISEASE
House Puts Through Measure Appro-
priating 100000 to Help Farmers
in Work.

Topeka--Kansas has thousands of
dollars for sick cattle, but only PEN
MES for sick children. The Kansas
House of Representatives spent thir-
ty minutes recently appropriating
100000 for the sick calves of the
state But it fumes and fuses and
fights for hours and days over an al
lowance for the sick babies.
The house passed the bill appro-
priating $4,000 at once and authoriz-
ing the state to issue one-quarter mil
lion dollars in bonds for fighting the
foot and mouth disease The bill
came in from the ways and means
committee and was made an emergen-
cy and passed just as fast as the roll
could be called This makes 1910, 900
available for fighting the disease.
Thus far the Kansas House of Rep
resentatives has refused to appropri-
ate dollar for the child hygiene bu-
reau, asked for by nearly every moth
er in Kansas. to help new mothers
take care of their children. The house
ways and means committee has abso.
lutely cut out of the appropriation
bill any sum, however small, for some
additions and improvements at the
state hospital at Rosedale for the Grip
Pied children of the state. This hospi-
tai gives the crippled children a
chance to be made normal free of ex-
pense to them or to their parents.

BILLS HITTHE BRIDGE TRUST
Senate Adopts Measures Which Should
Be of Real Value in Road
Improvement.

Topeka.-The Kansas senate has
adopted two bridge and road laws that
ought to be of real value in improving
the roads and in kicking the tin
bridge" companies out of control of
the bridge work in the state. One bill
was that of Senator Bowman and pro-
vided for a definite tax each year in
each county for good roads work The
counties may levy not to exceed one
mill for road improvement. The peo-
pie of a county get to vote on the
proposition before the tax can be
levied.
The bridge bill was prepared by the
senate committee on roads and high
ways. Here's the section that applies
to the bridge companies:
That the plans for the construction
or repair of all highway bridges and
culverts shall be approved by the coun-
ty engineer, and such plans and esti-
mates before being finally adopted
shall be submitted to the engineering
department of the state agricultural
college at Manhattan, or the state uni
versity at Lawrence, or to a compel
ent engineer not employed or in the
employ of any bridge company.

IF BACK HURTS CLEAN
KIDNEYS WITH SALTS
Drink Lots of Water and Stop Eating
Meat for While II the Bladder
Bothers You.

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter 1t from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush the
kidneys occasionally. You must re-
lieve them like you relieve your bow
els; removing all the acids, waste and
poison, else you feel dull misery in
the kidney region, sharp pains in the
back or sick headache, dizziness, 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 any pharmacy; take a table
breakfast for a few days and your kid
neys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous salts
| is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to clean
| and stimulate sluggish kidneys and
| stop bladder irritation Jad Salts is
| inexpensive; harmless and makes a
delightful effervescent lithia-water
| drink which millions of men and
women take now and then, thus avoid
ing serious kidney and bladder dis
eases.-Adv.

NO CHANCE TO WIN GLORY

Drummer Boy.

The frreverent man had been
aroused by talk of the war to tell an
anecdote, and those about him really
thought that the gravity of the sub
ject would make him reverent this
time. He said:
AT the time of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war I was a boy at school. / was
fired with tremendous patriotic zeal
1 decided to steal away unbeknownst
to my parents and enlist as a drum
mer boy. You see, was old enough
for that, and / was a robust young
ster, so 1 expected no trouble at all
with the military authorities
$50, instead of going to school one
morning, l hurried to a recruiting sta
ton and told the officer in charge that
l wanted to be drummer boy
"Ah, me! Though years have
passed, it is still an awful memory"
He sighed Those listening were
much impressed.
Didn't they take you on as q
drummer boy?" they inquired.
NO." he groaned.

If HAIR is TURNING
GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old Try Grandmother's
Recipe to Darker and Beautify
Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect By asking at
any drug store for 'Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get
large bottle of this old-time recipe,
ready to use, for about so cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dam
druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A welIknown druggist says every
body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur,
because it darkens so naturally and
evenly that nobody can tell it has been
applied-it's so easy to use, too You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
the gray hair disappears; after an
other application or two, it is re-
stored to it's natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant. Adv.

TO MAKE MINERS WORK SAFE
Operators and Employees Sign Con-
tract to Adopt Arbitration Instead
of Legislation.

Observation-Disclosures instead of leg
islation will be resorted to by the coal
miners and operators of Kansas to es-
tablish a uniform and safe method of
shot-firing in the mines of the state
Several bills in the legislature to re-
quire the mines to establish certain
kinds of electrical shot-firing devices
were killed by the house and senate
committees.
Now the miners and operators have
signed formal contract for special
commission of five members to investi-
gate shot-dring devices and recon-
mend means which will stop the loss
of life in the mines through shot-fring
accidents, in which, during the last
ten years, sixty-seven miners have lost
their lives in Kansas. The commits
sion is to include two men selected
by the coal miners, two by the oper-
ators, while the fifth, an electrical en-
gineer, is to be appointed by the gov
ernor. The commission will have it's
headquarters at Pittsburg, and must
make it's report to the governor not
later than December 1, 1916.
