WANT ANOTHER TRAIN
Union Pacific Patrons Ask Better Ser
vice, Salina to Ellis.

More than 500 individuals and firms
in towns on the Union Pacific between

train from Salina to Ellis or Oakley in

the evening.
At present the Union Pacific oper-

leave Salina in the evening and returns
the following morning. This service is
not satisfactory to number of patrons
of the road and they have petitioned
for additional service. An investiga-

NO DISEASE IN CLOTHES
Measles, Chiclenpox and Whooping
Cough Spread by Personal Contact.

Measles, chickenpox and whooping
cough cannot be communicated
through the medium of clothing. This
is the contention of DR.. Harold B.
Wood, city health officer. He. said
today:
''Laundrymen have complained to
me that they are experiencing diff
Guilty in collecting clothing from pa
irons whose homes are in quarantine.
There is no danger of these three dis
eases being spread by clothing and
people whose homes are under quar-
antine for these diseases are at liberty
to patrOnize the laundries.''
DR.. Wood contends that these dis
eases are rarely spread except by per-
sonal contact. Quarantine, rather
than fumigation, he holds most effect
i've in suppressing disease.
THE principal reason for fumigat-
ing is because the state laws require
it, said DR.. Wood. He says that he
believes fumigation does little or no
good. He has statistics to support
this belief.

as in the recent instance of the
speech delivered by Lord ST. Oavids
in the House of Lords, in which he
attacked the British headquarter
staff, the Earl of Derby, in charge of
British recruiting, speaking before
the stock exchange today, declared
that the house of lords needed a CEN

The man who gives information to
the enemy" said Lord Derby, goes

nation for the enemy"
After stating that mo gentleman"
would have made, and no gentleman
would believe, Lord st. Davids' ac-
cusations and subjecting Lord Rib
blesdale recent utterances to a like
denuncia ton, Lord Derby spoke of re-
cruiting. He said he had not come to
enlist recruits in the stock exchange,
but to ask the loyal cooperation of
its members in the scheme he had
undertaken.

Charles S. Elliott, president of the

commercial prosperity and the condi-
ton of business in Topeka he said:
we have been out for the last two
days getting memberships for the club
and L believe 1 can safely say that
business was never better in the city.
All the business men we have talked
to say that their trade is excellent"
In this column Monday night it was
stated that E. L. Overton's was the
first car to reach Topeka on the re-
turn trip from Burlingame, Kan, last
Saturday afternoon. A lack of COM
plate information caused the writer to
be in grievous error Mr.. Overton's
car was not the first car to reach
Topeka. There were at least a dozen
other cars that reached the city first
according to information received to-
day. A petit jury would be unable to
determine just which car did strike
the city limits first This is no re-

Because he could think of nothing

thought he was being crucified and
that the crowd of onlookers were a

How to Clean Your spat..

Linen spats have largely superseded
the vogue of cloth, as is quite proper
for warm weather wear. They may be
laundered without endangering their
shapeliness by too great shrinkage IL
ordinary care is taken. Some women
have discovered that the best way is
to put them over a shoe form and to
scrub them with white sOapsuds APP
piled with a stiff hand brush.
Naphtha Is all right for the first or
second cleaning, but water and soap
will be found eventually to improve
the color and be the easiest way of
f~reshening up the spats. Even the
white cloth overgaiters yield to the
clearly influence Of water and soap,
and a good laundress will be able to
launder them well.
Spats of tan and checked lines are
among the novelties, but as summer
approaches we shall likely find the
hosiery of color taking the place of the
%overgaiter. Nevertheless for the smart
tailleur completion women will cling
to the shoe accessories which original
ly anne to us by way of England and
were formerly associated only with
mems footwear.
