STATE BANKS OVERLOOKING
Loans Less and Deposits Greater Than
Ever Before During Harvest, Says
Commissioners Report.

The most remarkable financial con-
dition yet known in Kansas appeared
the other day when w. F. Benson gave
out the statement of the condition of
the 934 state banks and trust COM
panies. made June %, showing larger
deposits in the state banks than at
any previous time in the history Of
the state.
The really wonderful feature of the
report is that there should be any in
crease at all in deposits. The state
ment was called for just as Kansas
was entering the harvest fields In
the preceding twenty years the bank
statements showed deposits in June
to be the lowest of the year and the
loans and discounts the highest
The opening of the harvest always
has meant a hard pull on the banks,
forcing them to borrow money in the
East to finance the harvest. This
year the loans increased slightly, the
overdrafts went to the lowest amount
in many years and the deposits higher
than ever before.

EVER SAL|VATED By
CAL0MEL? HORRIBLE!
CALOMED is QUICKSILVER AND
ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE ON
YOUR LIVER.

Calomel loses you a dayl You
know what calomel is, It's mercury;
quicksilver Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramplng and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never
be put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large bot
tie of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is
entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and Is a perfect substitute for
eAlomel. 1t is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up
Inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel 1t makes you
sick the next day; It loses you a days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
tens you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because It Is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

Special Correspondence.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. 29..-
Can you imagine women and girls
hundreds Of them-pleadlng tearfully,
pleading with the blunt eloquence of
dire need, begging Historically. to be
allowed to go into the life of woman's
lowest estate because that seems 10
them 'the only way" rather than
"the easiest way?"
If you can, you may appreciate one
Of the gravest problems confronting
OF the 1916 exposition.
1t is the problem Of treating intel
ligently and constructively the case
of the women who have been thrown
out of their redlight dens by the
abatement law ratified in this state
at the recent election and made ef-
fective December 15. Their profess
sion, the oldest in the world. and long
tolerated and licensed in San Fran
cisco, has suddenly been outlawed.
What is going to become of them?
The aim of the law was primarily
at the property owners who fattened
off the shame of their tenants, but it
struck the women hardest
To say that the women deserve no
pity; that they must accept the lot
they have elected, an attitude taken
by many OF the good people here, Is
not solution. Rather, 1t is a STUN
bling block, assert the officials upon
whom devolves much OF the respon-
sbiity In the situation.
There are S37 registered denizens
OF the tenderloin here.
Beside these there are hundreds on
"the waiting list''--girls who have
begged Detective Thomas Furman,
head of the white slave department
Of police, to give them registry in the
underworld.
at is largely the unemployment or
precarious employment of many wom-
en- that is responsible" declared De-
tective Furman.
"They would come In here and beg
and cry and plead to be allowed to
register. l would try to reason with
them. / would tell them the terrible
consequences of such life. / would
paint 1t In all its horrors. But they
would only continue TO beg and plead.
MANY girl was down to her last
10scent piece"
The authorities are striving earnest
ly to impress the people Of this city
that the situation presented by these
women is one which can no longer be

The Kommandant was a most regal
persona regular "Graustark" hero
with long, sweeping military cape
of pale gray broadcloth swinging inn
periously about him and just grazing
the sparkling spurs fixed upon his
elegant riding boots.
He spoke most excellent English
and said he was very sorry that the
language of America wasn't different
from the language of England, as 1t
would "avoid confusion.
He handed me back my passport,
my letters and the other documents

tity and asked for Something else.

the minute l slammed my door the
train started. For an hour we rode
through the night and then we got
off at Wesel. The clock on the sta
tion platform said It was ten minutes

would pass at $3.50 in the morning.
Three hundred people trooped into
the tiny waiting room and began to
talk-the FIRST TALK these people,
practically, all of whom were return
ing to "the fatherland" from Eng
land, had freely had since the war
started.
The walters and the ticket agent
were concerned and made to tell "the
truth about the war;.
The German flew so thick and fast
that would have been left hopelessly
behind but for the slim blonde girl
who had been In the compartment
next to mine. She translated rapidly
for me. and then suddenly we dis
covered that all eyes were on us.

Those were the first words | heard
In Germany. The slim, blonde girl
whom | had noticed on the snorting
little channel steamer that brought
us across the most thickly mined sea
in the world, across from the south
shore of England to the north shore
OF Holland, leaned far out OF her
compartment window and called
them through the night to the hulk
ing guardsman who was coming
alongside our halted train.
The girl spoke them In clear, JOY,

The train had wound Its way
through Holland, past long dykes,

According to Architect and Engin,
eer, the highest street in the world is
Main street, Denver; the richest is
Fifth avenue, New York; the widest is
Market street, Philadelphia; the short
est is the Rue Bile, Paris; the dirtiest
is Tehankski, Nankin; the cleanest is
the Pia CASTLE, Seville; the most aris-
tocratic is Grosvenor Place, London;
the most beautiful is the Avenue des
Champs Elysees, Paris, and the mar
rowest is Via Sol, Havana, which has
width of no more than AZ inches.
Two things are impossible to man;
yea, there are three. One is to make
two watches which keep exactly the
same time; another is to construct a
kitchen big enough for two women,
and the third is to plan a piece of
work that can be done inside the orig
inal estimate. Aside from these tri-
fling matters, nothing is impossible to
a determined mind, except TO please
everybody and be worth shucks to
at one and the same time.

Along the entire route from En-.
NETT to Haley, we were impressed
with the remarkable nerve of the pio-
neer who settled this country. Any
man who had the hardihood to settle
down in the desert with the faith
that he could make it habitable it
seems to us would calmly and conf
IDENTIFY locate in the middle of the
internal regions and propose an irri-
cation scheme that would turn hell in
to a productive agricultural country.
George MCGOWAN, VINO lived for
many years on Camas Prairie, tells
us that seven years ago that country
was pasture 40 miles long and 20
miles wide. Today it is one vast
grain field. Ranch houses and cab
ms dot the level expanse on every
hand and flourishing towns have been
built. The entire area of 800 square
miles is as level as floor.

Our opinion is that in less than %
years from now it will be as common

Next morning drive of 20 miles
TO the fishing grounds ct the foot
of the Sawtooth, through the bracing
air, put new life into the party. Joy
now sat on the throttle, Pleasure
rode the radiator, and the soft purr
of the engine seemed TO sing song
of sweet anticipation. The roads are
matehless in that section, and auto
MODELLING is enjoyable. One thing is
noticeable to the traveller, and that
is the fact that automobiles are be-
coming more and more popular as
means or conveyance. We met very
few wagons or buggies on the road
either going or coming, but always
there was continual stream of au-
los day and night. 1t was a rare oc-
currence to be out of sight of them,
nearly all loaded with camping out
fits. II was estimated that between
5000 and 10000 people were camp
ing in the Wood river country, and
that 50 per cent of them travelled in
autos. For this exodus the good roads
are responsible.

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness
OF the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh You should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which is a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
