moyino Picture Tricks.

Some OF the most thrilling scenes In
the moving picture dramas are taken
with the aid of small models, which
are considerably less than life size.
It is much cheaper, Of course, TO burn
up toy building or to sink a NINA
t,lre ship than to destroy an original
to make a moving picture holiday. The
models used for this work are carried
out with great attention to detail, and
the pictures are taken with the cam
era very close to the ground to get
the proper perspective. The moving
picture audiences, even when paying
the closest attention, are completely

WHAT CAUSES COLDS?

This question and "How to Prevent
Colds" is asked a thousand times
every day. A cold is really fever,
not always caused by the weather but
due to a disordered condition of the
blood or lack of important food
elements. In changing seasons fat
foods are essential because they dis
tribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the body better able
to withstand the varying elements.
This is the underlying reason why
the medicinal fats in SCOTS Emulsion
quickly overcome colds and build
strength to prevent more serious sick
ness. alt contains natures medicinal
fats, so skillfully prepared that the
blood profits from every drop, and 1t is
free from harmful drugs or alcohol. :

4. A. Wilcox Seeks Reinstate-

Anthony Lawyer Has Been Dis
barred More Than Two Years.
IN FAMOUS GILLETT CASE
He Was Charged With Unpro-
fessional Conduct.
reinstatement Petition Is Filed
With Court Today.
N FAMOUS GILLETT CASE

After having been disbarred for
more than two and a half years, E.
A. Wilcox, of Anthony, today filed q
petition with the state supreme court
ordered disbarred by the state su-
preme court following investigation
of charges and evidence in the crimi-
nal libel suits prosecuted against Will
Preston B. Gillett of Kingman.
The Wilcox case was one of the most
sensational legal battles in Harper
county in recent years. Hundreds OF
persons took issue in the libel suits
and diSbarment case and the fight was
a political issue in Harper county
during two campaigns. Wilcox was
disbarred in June, 1913.
In Libel Case.
II was while the disbarment case
was pending that criminal suits were
instituted in Topeka by the late Pres
ton B. Gillett. Wilcox, then county at
torney of Harper county. was arrested
on charge of criminel libel, as was
Corey Black, a Council Grove mer-
chant; Mrs. II. c. MedlOck, wife of a
banker, and H. c. Eric
son and A. E. Medlock, Topeka detec-
tives.
The criminal libel concerned the cir
of alleged false and malicious
affidavits, concerning Judge Gillett'S
relations with 16-year-old Summer
field girl The crime was alleged to
have been committed in the NationaI
hotel while Judge Gi1lett was in To-
peka as a guest at the annual meeting
of the State Bar association and Kan
sas Day club in January, 1912.
All of the defendants except Wilcox
were convicted. He was acquitted
following a sensational trial in the
Shawnee county district court. A year
later, the supreme court ordered the
lawyers disbarment. UnprofesSional
conduct and his association with the
criminal libel were held as grounds
for the courts action in refusing to
permit wilcox to practice in state
courts.
The petition today will be presented
to the supreme court in January.

PORTER FINDS A way
Solves Problem of How to Raise Sal

studying over his proposal to raise the
salaries of persons employed in hisaof-
flee: Es
If under the city ordinances an Of
fetal cannot raise the salary of an EN-
pIoyee during the term of office for
which he is appointed, and if, under
the civil service rules, the employee
serves continuously without reappoint-
ment, how is that employee ever going
to get a raise in wases?'
Then Porter caught a glimpse of a
ray of light and answered himself.
Il know" ne said, when the new
ordinance books are printed it is going
to be necessary TO reappOint all en-
pIoyees in order to conform with the
ordinances. Between the time. they so

With the opening of the Mexican

At $50 this morning Mrs. Schmitz

She spoke quietly as though she was
telling her husband his breakfast was

peating the phrase over and over, so
he ran down tstairS to the bed room
where Gertie slept. He found her in

The mother followed him into the
room and stood by the bed.
II did it, George. 1t was the only

NO LAW FOR 1T.
The state Cannot Bring Back an Es-
capped Insane Patient From An
other State.

Kansas cannot bring an escaped in
sane patient from another state, ac-
cording to a statement today by H. c.
Bowman, of the state board of control.
Bowman secured an opinion from 5.
NJ Brewster, attorney general, when
Riley county officials sought to force
the state to return an escaped insane
patient from Oklahoma.
Recently a Riley county man, COM
mitted to the Topeka state hospital, es-
capped from the hospital guards. The
man is now in Oklahoma. Relatives
want the man returned to the hospital.
They also want the state to pay the
expenses. An investigation of the mat
ter today showed that no law existed
for such action.

In the governors office, however,
there was doubt concerning the giving
of a temporary parole to Salisbury. He
is re garded as a professional crook and
confidence man and is wanted in sew
eral states. Judge c. w. Smith, exec
utive clerk, was disposed to oppose
temporary clemency for Salisbury and
even the hope that the man may be
cured of crime mania may not be suf-
ficient to win him a few days parole.
For more than year DR.. Pratt has
taken a deep interest in salisbury 5
case. He claimed that the pressure OF
the mans skull against certain nerve
cells created the desire to violate the
law and that an operation would cure
the man. Several months ago DR..
Pratt came to Kansas and an oper-
ton was performed on Salisbury in
the state penitentiary. At the time
DIR. Pratt told prison officials that the
second operation would be necessary
No State Fund.
Recently DR.. Pratt wrote to Cover
nor Capper. urging that the prisoner
be sent to Chicago for the operation
There was no state fund available for
sueh-a trip. the governor replied. Now
DR.. Pratt has written thai he will be
unable TO return to Lansing to per-
form the second operation. So he
sent n draft for S25 to pay Salisbury's
expenses No charges will be made
for the operation
Salisbury was sent to the peniten-
tiary from Marshall county, where he
was convicted on a charge Of OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
1t was also charged that he married
a Marshall county girl under an as
sumed name and that he has violated
laws in a number of states. DR..
Pratt declares that Salisbury's GRIM
inal tendencies may be cured through
an operation. 1t was following a
lengthy correspondence that the Chi
cago specialist was permitted to OPP
crate on Salisbury in the state peni-
Tertiary. Now the governor has been
asked to let the man go to Chicago
that he NAV be ultimately cured.
