CANNING COMPANY SELLS
 ENTIRE TOMATO OUTPUT

matoes will not be one-fourth of what the canning company hoped to secure for this year. However, a reasonably good start has been made, consider ing the enormous peach crop, and the canning company ex- poets to close the season with a profitable years business.
 The tomatoes put up by the company this season have been inspected and graded and will go on the market as choice high grade tomatoes. They were sold at a good price f. o.<b. Newark and will probably be loaded out and shipped within the next few days.
 Secretary Isgrig is negotiat- ing with other brokerage firms and wholesale dealers for tho sale of the company's entire output of peaches and it now seems probable that the entire product of the factory will be disposed of at a profitable fig ure within the next few weeks.
 The canning factory has pro- ven a profitable and helpful enterprise for Newark and the entire community this year, as it has furnished employment to a number of people and has afforded a ready cash market for the peach crop which was enormous and would have been almost a total loss had it not heen for the canning factory, as there was virtually no out side market for peaches owing to the enormous yield of fruit all over the entire country.
 The canning factory having .roven q XalHable' asset to the community, and with every evidence that it will pay a fair dividend this year, the com pany is planning to operate on a rLcn larger scale next year.

quent, particularly in hospitals for the
insane.
The colored woman came to the
State hospital about four years ago
from Leavenworth because of mental
arrangement. Her health was fairly
good until about a month ago when
she developed symptoms of pellagra-
Her case was not particularly acute,
according to superintendent T. c.
Biddle, but it was undoubtedly a case
of pellagra.s
Gases of pellagra are more or less
frequent in insane institutions, said
superintendent Biddle, for the reason
that mental trouble usually accom-
panies the disease. This woman may
have been suffering from pellagra
when she was brought to the hospital.
But it was only in the last thirty days
that the case began to develop. In the
South a majority of the insane hos
pitfalls are filled with pellagra patients
There have been several deaths from
the disease, in this institution

TRACK IS BLOCKED
Truck of Baggage Car
Breaks Near Granville.
Is Dragged Along the Ties a
Quarter of a Mile.

A serious accident to Rock Island
train No. II was averted by Engineer
Jones near Granville this morning.
The truck on the baggage car broke
and for a quarter of mile dragged
on the side of the train. A man in
side the baggage car was unable to
pull the bell cord as he was thrown
from one side to another by the rock
ing of the car.
The engineer finally heard the noise
and stopped the train to investigate.
Word Of the trouble was Immediately
wired to Topeka and Kansas City.
Rock Island No. 3, the Golden State
Limited. came along on the left track
and picked up the No / passengers
and brought them to Topeka
The Rock Island train was unable
to move. AS the accident occurred
-s5n Union Pacific tracks a wrecking
crew this afternoon was sent to the
scene. The track will be cleared be-
fore evening.
H. l. Reed of Herington, superiu-
tendent of the Kansas division of the
Rock Island. was in his special car
on the rear of No. II. He tele-
graphed from Granville for the
Golden State Limited to take the
other track and pick up the passen-
gers on The other train.
If the train had gone much far
ther it is likely that smashup would
have occurred, possibly causing a
great death and injury list.

STOP The SPITTERS
Complaints Are Pouring in to j. A.
Ramsey, Sanitary Sergeant.

Time was when only health authori-
ties in Topeka protested against the
custom of splitting on the sidewalks.
Now, the citizens themselves do the
protesting. Ever since the grip cpl
demic started individuals have been
calling up J. A. Ramsey, sanitary ser
geant, and asking that some action be
taken to put a stop to the practice.
Today q Topekan who is interested
in a cemetery association called up
Mr.. Ramsey and put in the hardest
kick that has been registered so far.
He admitted that the splitting custom
makes business for cemetery associa-
lions but he declared his association
did not want business that badly.
There is a city ordinance against
splitting on the Sidewalks said Mr..
Ramsey, land in a way it is enforced
don't believe a policeman would hes
itate to warn a person who spit on the
side walk. But the ordinance is not
vigorously enforced and that is the
cause for the complaint"
Physicians agree that the grip IS
an infectious and possibly a contag ious
disease. Consequently the expectora-
ton by grip patients on side walks IS
a menace to the public health. Be
sides that, the custom is nauseating
to most people.
All one needs to be convinced that
Topeka is inhabited by the spitters is
to walk down Kansas avenue any aft
ernoon. Apparently most of the spit
tiers make a weak effort to reach the
curb but they fall short Mr.. Ramsey
is without power to enforce the ord1-
nance although apparently it comes
under his department.. The enforce
ment must come through the police
