TODAY'S BURDEN on YOUTH.

Commencement bears heavily upon
the youth of today, and reminds him
of the heavy burden which his time
places on him. How he wishes often
that he could change with dad" or
"grandpap." Then he would have had
to worry about committing to men,
ory his valedictory of the Rome
Was Not Burnt in a Day" species,
brush up his Sunday suit for the ex-
ercises and his troubles would be
over.
Now. however, he must spend here
and throw money there. Clothes,
dances, receptions, presents chase
him. He must not only buy her a
suitable present. but he must send
flowers; not common flowers either,
but blossoms which will match her
gown. Then there comes the string
of invitations from the high school
girl graduates, all of which must be
provided for.
All this reminds him of the COM
pleXity of his every day life. He can
not, father did, wait until Sunday
afternoon for the one ice-cream par
lor to open and then go there to or
der a dish of the only kind of cream
sold Rather, he must choose one of
many refreshment places and then
worry through a long menu only to
order something which he really does
not want 1t is also necessary to
wear out taxis instead of shoe leather:
and he must decide whether he would
rather have an afternoon date when
the movies will cost a nickel, or
whether to wait until night when the
lt-ceuJ SHOW lDuSl De dtteHueu. III
addition, he must spend much time
studying tobacco advertisements in
order to be sure he is up to snuff. The
decision of such questions as wheth-
er he must buy a popular brand or
roll his own add to his responsible
tiles.
And so il goes. The complexities
Of life today make youths burden a
heavy one.

There is more catarrh in this sec
ton of the country than all other de-
seases put together; and until the
last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For a great many years
doctors pronounced it a local desease
and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly failing TO cure with
local treatment pronounced it incur
able. Science has proven catarrh to
be constitutional desease, and there
fore requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-

Never for moment does John
Barleycorn let up his efforts TO keep
courts busy even in Kansas. A youth
who has had chance to do better
has just been arrested on a liquor
charge in Russell. At the February
term of court at Hays there would
have hardly been anything to do in
Grim nal matters instead of trying
i've felonies and five lesser offenses, if
intoxicants had not been used. There
was row In which three men were
implicated, the defilement of young
girl of about Is years where the man
began under the infiunnce of liquor,
the making of a false affdavit in a
runaway marriage where both the
young man and the l6 year old girl
had been aroused at dance where
whiskey flowed; a white slavery con-
vic: ion where liquor was in evidence
in the abhorrent details; and assault
of sleeping married woman by a
Deighbor, drunken widowere.
While these cases were trying at Hays,
. man was struck over the head al
Collyer so that an operation was nee.
esssary on his skull; drink was in evil
dence. At nearly the same time, a
felonious assault on a woman in Wa
Keeney was charged, with perhaps
the same cause. In Wallace county
