Taft told the Columbia university in

Mr. Taft said that while he was

he was under surveillance rather than
under protection.
Mr. Taft suggested that the in1u-

German Shipment Eagerly Awaited
by Cotton Manufacturers.

New York, Oct. I4.-With fifty
tons of German coal tar dyes in her
cargo the steamship st. Louis arrived
today from Liverpool.
This is the largest shipment of Ger
man dye stuffs received in this coun-
try since last winter. The consign-
ment was directed to William Red
field secretary of commerce, but is
intended for William A. Mitchell, of
Lowell, Mass, acting for the National

months and the British government
permitted their transfer to America

shall be re-exported to an enemy
country It is understood that they
will be parceled out in small lots to
New England cotton manufacturers
and that other industries will have to
await further shipments.

MAKE INSPECTION "TRIP.
IIrigators See Methods of Farmers
Near Garden City.

Garden City, kan, Oct. 14.-Dele-
gates to the Kansas State Irrigation
Congress today were shown the Car
den City way of irrigating on an in
spection trip made to a number of
practical plants in this section
Demonstration was made of the actual
operation of several of the successful
plants and of their use of water.
FL. E. Walker, of Manhattan, secre-
tary of the congress, pointed out that
one of the necessities for successful
irrigation is the correct handling of
the water.
Garden City was the pioneer in irri-
cation in Kansas, it was asserted. In
1880 bitches were constructed from
the Arkansas river, but after the wet
years when. irrigation was again
necessary, it was discovered that
Colorado had most of the available
supply of river water. In 1896 irriga-
ton was begun near here with centri-
fugal pumps, the first used for the
purpose In the state.
J. w. Tough, of Scott City, state
irrigation commissioner. and one of
the most successful alfalfa producers
using irrigation in the state, described
his methods of irrigating the crop to
get the greatest tonnage.

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condi-
ton is perfectly natural. It is just as
natural as it is for old people, to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the
bowels into activity. But lash can't
be used every day. What the bowels
of the old need is a gentle and natural
tonic. One that can be constantly
used without harm. The only such
tonic is Cascarets, and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug store

SAVE The BABIES.
DIR. De Vilbiss Addresses City
League Convention.
Health Problems Take Time of
Meeting Today.

Hutchinson, KAN, Oct. 14.-Public
health nurses and child hygiene sta
tons as means of saving the llVes u
babies needlessly lost each year, were
advocated by DR.. Lydia A. DeVilb1ss,
Kansas state board of health, in an ad-
dress before the seventh annual con-
cipalitieS, this morning. Dr. DeVn-
bliss is chief of the division of child
hygiene of the Kansas state health
board.
That the problem of child mortality
is no longer an individual one, but a
social and public question, was en-
phasized by the speaker. Disease and
filth, bad milk and water, affect not
individuals only, but entire cemmunl-
ties.
Nurses employed by public auth
ority to safeguard the health of schooI
children were urged by DR.. DeVilbiss-
Winfield and other Kansas cites nave
already approved the plan and are
putting it in operation, she declared.
What does it profit a parent if his
child gains the whole school curr1-
culum and loses his health, was a
question the Kansas authority on
child-saving asked the city Officials.
She told this story:

Collection of Literature by w. lei. Kerr
at EmDOria Normal.

1D NIhhEUHhII TUT 1alEta'
Emporia, Kan, Oct. 14.-What will
be the largest library of educational
documents IN Kansas is being formed
by w. H. Kerr, librarian of the Kan
sas State Normal school at Emporia.
Mr.. Kerr has organized a system for
collecting educational documents in
Kansas and the United States, which
will enlarge the present educational
library at the normal one-third.
Letters have been sent to all the
cities of Kansas, and all the county
superintendents of Kansas, requesting
copies of all educational documents
published in the district, and offering
in exchange the normal school educa-
tional journal Teaching. Four hum
dred cities outside of Kansas will re-
ceive like requests. Mr.. Kerr'S plan
is to make the normal library a CEN
ter for research among educational
documents
