Will the newspapers in the eastern
section of the country please note that
the tornado insurance companies are
TO make material reductions in their
rates for Kansas? This is the best
possible proof that Kansas is not open
to the charge of being a Cyclone
state But the eastern papers are
not likely to be DESTROYS of any such
proof 1t would spoil too many a SEN
sational story for them

HAIIrs CURSE OF GENERALS

Reports have it that the outlook for
peace in Haiti is growing brighter.
But how long will the coming peace
prevail? That's the question. If it
continues for six months, all recent
records will be broken. The trouble
in Haiti is that there are SO many gen.
erals that there isn't enough govern
ment swag to make the rounds and
provide all of them and their entour-
ages with the easy living to which
they think they're entitled.

Kansas Comment
PAVED KoADs.

1t may sound like a dream, to
talk about paved roads through the
country, but the time is coming when
the main highways through this
country will be properly graded and
built of concrete. The time is COM
ing when the people will find that 1t
will cost less to construct concrete
roads through the country than to
drive and haul roads over dirt roads.
The day is coming when the people
will discover that the saving in horse
flesh, the saving in wear and tear or
vehicles, the saving in gasoline for
cars, she saving in time on drives, the
increased load made possible and the
advantages to be gained by having
roads good under all weather condi-
TONS will more than offset the cost of
grading and concreting the main high
ways.-Mankato Western Advocate

depending somewhat on the point OF
beginning. Either way it looks like a
hard winter for the men, who are pa
tient and long-suffering, particularly
the married men, to whom the new
burden will return. OF course the
women may insist a married man
should provide maid to attend to
such little chores, but the high cost
of living wont permit it, and he
might as we'll steel himself for the
worst. The Fashion Art League OF
America has issued it's decree con-
corning the fall fashions, and it is
along the line or spinal column set
forth above. And what fashion de-
crees, woman adopts as a necessity
or a blessed privilege, and mere man
must aid and abet her if the occasion
seems to demand it, as in the case
of the gown with rear entrance. And
throughout the bracing fall and on
through a hard winter, he shall play
his part patiently, and hear that his
fingers are all thumbs, and that he is
an impatient brute, and ought to be
ashamed to use such language in the
presence of the children, and other
sings and arrows of an outraged wife.
which shall be as solacing as salt to
his wounded feelings. But the women
won't worry about a little matter like
that, and they needn't, for the men
are rabbits, and, whatever fashion de-
crees, man will pay the bills the best
he may, and even act as milady's maid
without resort to open rebellion. He
may act the brute, and beef bit, and
hate the fashion dictators, but he
wants the woman of his choice as
fashionable as circumstances permit,
lest he be led to regret that choice,
and devote too much attention to the
street parade, and other attractions

Talk about cold weather, car
penter not long ago dropped his
hammer while shingling the roof of
building and not wishing to de-
scend the ladder to get it he took a
pail containing water that he had on
the building and poured it over the
roof. Owing to the frigidity of the
atmosphere the water froze as soon
as it commenced to drop from the
caves and formed a solid column of
ice from the edge of the roof to the
ground, the lower end coming in con-
tact with the steel hammer; then by
merely detaching the upper end of the
icicle from the caves he was able to
lift it and the hammer to the roof
with perfect ease.-A. j. N.

An Inside Bath
Makes You Look
and Feel Fresh
Says = glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
keeps Illness away.
This excellent, eommon-sense
health measure being
adopted by millions.

Physicians the world over recon-
mend the inside bath, claiming this is
of vastly more importance than out
side cleanliness, because the skin
pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing Ill health, while the
pores in the ten yards of bowels do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teaspoonful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a
harmless means of helping to wash
from the stomach, liver, kidneys and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material poisons. sour bile and tox-
ms; thus cleansing, sweetening and
purifying the entire alimentary canal
before putting more food into the
stomach.
Just as soap and hot water cleanse
and freshen the skin, so hot water ana
limestone phosphate act on the elm
inative organs.
Those who wake up with bad
breath, coated tongue, nasty taste or
have dull aching head, sallow COM
plexion, acid stomach; others who are
subject to bilious attacks or consti-
patton, should obtain a quarter
pound of limestone phosphate at the
drug store. This will cost very little
but is sufficient to demonstrate the
value of inside bathing. Those who
continue 1t each morning are assured
of pronounced results, both In regard

tisement.

tween two knolls swings a company
returning from route march. They
might be at Aldershot. They turn out
to pass q hollow where half O. dozen
men are cursing earnestly over the
vagaries of four sheet iron boxes cum
ningly put together in a compact
square to form a very successful stove,

butchers tent. a line of new-killed
hogs hung up by the heels are drip

From time to time smart officers,
with red tabs on their collars to indi-
cate that they belong to the staff.
plunge over the edge of q miniature
cliff toward the camp stables. where
the horses are picketed in the open.
AS they ride off toward the outlying
hills they pass through q cloud of
acrid smoke coming from a sort of
cairn in which the camp refuse is
burning.
Atop of one hill is a f1agpole with
the flag of the Red Cross--the camp
hospital, presided over by a gray med
ical colonel of gentle manners and an
air of wonder and bewilderment at
finding himself so far away from Eng
land in so strange a land. His baili-
wick is marked out by line of stones
in rows on the hillside. as children
playing at housekeeping mark the
walls of the rooms. Within these
bounds are medical tents, hospital
tents, dispensary, operating tents-all
the paraphernalia of caring for the
sick and wounded.
Soldiers Pouring In
On the opposite hill are the staff
tents, with a stamp on the canvas that
shows them to be from India. If
there are not enough benches for Off
GERS and guests, someone sits on one
upturned box. The food is largely
tinned-the Greeks have scarcely
enough to supply their own soldiers,
much less the foreigner on their soil.
Every day more transports arrive,
pouring out their soldiers-Greek,
Fench. British Horses, kicking help
lessly, are lifted bodily from the en-
trails of the ship. Wagons, cannon,
ammunition cases. stores-all clutter
the quais. Silently the French slip up
the railway line to the front, scarcely
arrived. This camp does not grow
much. But the British camp for all
the departures in the direction of Dol
ran and the Bulgarian frontier is still
populous, the men still training
keeping the beggars fit." For COM
panies, regiments and divisions have
to be reformed, brought up to strength
by the injection of new blood.
Between the French and the British
there is the completest working CO.
operation. The French have the pre-
dominant force and they have taken
the major burden of the expedition.

S. P. c. A. Notes

A telephone call came to a we'll
known fruit and produce company the
other day that is puzzling them and
the Harrisburg S. p. C. A The mes
sage was that unless the company
blanketed its horses by afternoon the
s. P. C. a. would prosecute them. At
once the Society Headquarters was
called up for an explanation. None
could be given. No one had called
from the office. nor had the agent nor
any of the members given any such
notice. The company finally decided
II was a piece of petty spite work,
rloaking itself in legitimate guise.
The company-which takes good
care of its horses-was appeased but
the S. p. c. "A. was not. Theirs is not
an underhand, anonymous way of do
ing business. When there is COM
plant of cruelty to be made it is made
openly-nor does threat come first.
The invariable rule of the society is
to try every other means of achieving
humane treatment of animals before
going to law. Any other impression
hurts the influence of a society which
Is an acknowledged power for good

in this community and in neighboring
counties.
The Worcester S. p. c. A. last win
ter did a splendid work in bird protec-
ton that Harrisburgers might well
copy. Boy Scouts distributed bird
food in the outskirts of the city as
far as ten miles, also placed grain in
the bird houses which the society has
set up in different sections. Many
hundreds of pounds of grain were
given free by the merchants, VINO
were rendered a vote of thanks for
their hearty cooperation with the
humane work.
A practical winter work of s. p. c.
A. in different cities where the Win
ters are severe Is to station watchers
at the foot of steep and slippery grades
to warn drivers. In many instances
the roads, where particularly bad,
were sanded, and in certain very dan
gerous spots the watchers were To-
Gated at a point where teams could be
directed to safer side streets. Har-

the town between the high walls of
twin burial grounds-one Jewish, the
other Greek. A little farther on is the
old Turkish cemetery. But the Turks
are no longer masters of Macedonia.
The headstones of their graves are
scattered and broken; the graves
themselves 40 longer marked. The
cemetery has become the corral of
hundreds of Greek army mules-the
dusty, unwatered expresses shade the
mule drivers rather than the tombs of
the Mussulman dead. their faces
toward the East. Close by q long
series of barracks built of brick shell
ters tens of thousands of refugees from
Macedonia and Thracc and from Ser
bia, the derelicts of war.
The road in the open country be-
comes an incredible succession of mud
holes along which swing columns of
broad-shouldered. blue-clad French
men making their way to their own
camp lying to the south Of the British
compound. Trains of supply wagons,
officers automobiles. motor trucks, or
'lorries." as the English call them,
force Tommies and "poilus" alike into
the soggy fields. Two huge tractors
draw each a gray-painted French
4-inch long-range gun, on whose muz-
zles are painted their names. One is
"Boche Chaser" the other is Death
Splitter"
Along the road hundreds of itinerant
vendors of everything portable set up
improvised stands in the fields.

writing paper, raw shrimps, socks,

Enterprising Semitic merchants have
even installed barrels of beer in the
fields as stations of refuge for the
thirsty soldier too long on the way.
Beggars, of course-cripples, little
girls in tattered, hollow-cheeked mis-
cry, the old of every race and kind.
Finally the tent city appears, SEEM
ing to cover unending acres of hill
tops. The road and a stream separate
the French from the British. Along
the stream the British TonImies kneel,

The Tapping of their flags in the sharp
wind can be heard in the valley like
volley of far-away rifle shots. Below
them a company is lined up for inspec-
ton, each mans roll spread out on
the grass while the sergeant goes
through the equipment to see that all
