The guayule rubber industry had .r

tious. Some of these factories Will
have TO be rebuilt
During the five years that the man
ufacture of guayule rubber has been
greatly curtailcd on account Of tho
revolutionary disturbances, the cut
over lands have grown a new supply
of the shrubs, and the raw material
is now in greater abundance than r
was at the beginning Of the industry
This Is due also to the fact that large
tracts of land that were seeded with
puayule when it was found that the
shrub was valuable now, are covered
with a hountiful crop Of the raw ma
terial. Rotanists and others have
given considerable study TO tho

paratively recent thing. 1t is ap-
proximateIy one-third of century
ago that we saw the first electric arc
fight swung out in front of a CONNER
cial institution, on the streets of the
city of st. Louis for street lighting
purposes. The streets were filled with
humanity for block in both direc-
tions, and the optimist predicted that
in less than twenty-five years every
village and hamlet in the country
simist was likewise there, insisting
that this could never be done be-
cause of the expense entailed in such
service and the loss resulting from
transporting the current.
In the state of Kansas today, there
are hundreds of small towns that are
aVaili1g themselves of this wonderful
thing called electricity for lighting
and power purposes, and 1t is not an
unreasonable statement to make, that
the full development of its use has
not yet, by any means, reached its
final end.
1.-The telephone business is one of
comparatively recent origin and de-
veIopment. 1t is one of the great con-
veniences OF the day and without
which both commercial ard social af-
fairs would be largely curtailed.
Therefore, in view of these very i'm
portant facts, it is but the statement
OF a truism to observe that the rela-
tionship existing between the public
and public utilities should be one of
candor and fair treatment This must
come to pass"

At the Iris.

Today and tonight affords Topeka
people the last opportunity to see a
very interesting screen version of the
Mummy and the Humming Bird"
with the distinguished actor, Charles
Cherry, supported by Lillian Tucker,
Arthur Hoops and William Sore1le in
the chief roles
The delightful acting of Lillian
Tucker, the self-effacing art of Arthur
Hoops in his wonderful Interpretation
of the thankless role of D'OrelI, and
the powerful though sympathetic in
depreciation of Giuseppe by William
Sorelle render complete the enjoyment
of the excellent work of Mr.. Cherry.
The art of the star, revealed in his
consummately clever depicting of the
part of Lord Lumley. the charming
though absent-minded scientist who
neglects his beautiful wife for his
chemistry, will be a revelation to those
few who have not had the pleasure of
seeing his remarkable work on the
stage in support of such eminent
actresses as Henrietta Crosman, Max
inc Elliott, Mary Mannering and Ethel
Barrymore, with all of whom he has
appeared at various times.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone. should drink
hot water with phosphate
In II before breakfast.

Headache of any kind, is caused by
auto-intoxication-w means self
poisoning Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins, sucked into the blood,
through the lymph ducts, excite the
heart which pumps the blood so fast
that it congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing vio-
lent throbbing pain and distress
called headache. You become ner-
vous, Respondent, sick, feverish and
miserable, your meals sour and al
most nauseate you Then you resort
to acetanilide, aspirin or the bromides
which temporarily relieve but do not
rid the blood of these irritating tox-
ms.
A glass of hot water with a tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it,
drank before breakfast for awhile
will not only wash these poisons from
your system and cure you of head
ache but will cleanse, purify and
freshen the entire alimentary canal
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate. 1t is
inexpensive, tasteless except for a
sourish twinge which is not unpIeas-
ant.
If you aren't feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
indigestion, bi1iousneSS, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure to rid your
systems of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and it is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver and bowels every
morning never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.-Adver-
tisement.
