Anv Kind of Wind Instrument


'I intended to write to you last week

poor little deformed baby In the coun-
try in great need of one, so 1t went there
instead. 1 could make good use of the
teachers Bible offered by II. j. S. and
will gladly send postage for 1t. If any
of your readers have any kind of a wind
instrument to give away suitable for n
boy of II years, it would be gratefully
accepted by family here who have more
than their share of sickness. Two boys

tions now Zone has already had two and
will have to be under medical care for
months. The doctor has advised them
to get the instrument for one of the
family to expand his chest but they
feel that with all the extra expense
which they will have they cannot afford
II. | have promised to write to the
Corner and to pay postage on it l. you
can get one. l only wish 1 could afford
to supply the need myself
MRS. w j."
Services already rendered the Corner
testify to your desire to supply the need
without reference to us. Expansion of a
weak chest by blowing into a horn or
bugle is common prescription in certain
cases. If there be a wind instrument
lying unused and not likely to be wanted
in the family, will not the owner write
for the address of our charitable member
who will pay parcel post? l am glad,
dear colleague, that the deformed baby
got the bed which we might otherwise
have received. The helpless and needy
everywhere are of the household of char
ity. therefore belong to our family. It

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Would fasting for a week be wise for
a woman who weighs 1870 pounds and has
occasional twinges of rheumatism? She
has a very hearty appetite.
Answer - IT depends upon her height
and her physical condition. We do not
advise such fasts. We think moderate
fasting better. such as cutting out meal
day for long time.

Meeting in Chicago May Bring About
End of Baseball War. Is

Chicago, ILL.,, April 23.-Conferences
seeking to esta blish peace between the
Federal League and organized base

B. B. Johnson, president of the Amer
lean League; Phil Ball, owner of the
ST. Louis Federals; Robert L. Hedges.
owner of the st. Louis Americans. and
Judge George H. Williams of st.

Robert B. Ward of the Brooklyn club,
both members of the Federal League
executive committee. 1t was said
that certain club owners in the Fed
eral League had been offered clubs in
the National League and there would
be ama1gamationS in at least five cities
which now have Federal and National
League baseball.
Phil Ball it was said had been Of
fered an option on the St Louis Ma

A Remedy
For All Pain

"The efficiency of any drug" says DR.: CP:
Robbins, lis known to US by the results we
obtain from its use. If we are able to con-
troll pain and disease by means OF any pre-
paration, we certainly are warranted in its
use. One of the principal symptoms Of all
diseases is pain, and this is what the patient
most often applies to us for, /. g. something
to relieve his pain. If we can arrest this
promptly, the patient is most liable to trust
In US for the other remedies which will effect
permanent cure. One remedy which I
have used largely in my practice is Anti
kamnta Tablets. Many and varied are their
uses. have put them to the test on many
occasions, and have never been dtsappoint-
ed. found them especially valuable for
headaches of ma1arfal origin, where Quinine
was being taken. They appear to prevent
the bad after-e1ects of the Qu1nfne. Anti
kamn1a Tablets are also excellent for the
headaches from Improper digestion; also
for headaches of q neuralgia origin, and es-
peciallyfor women subjectto pains at certain
times. Two Anti-kamnfa Tablets give
prompt relief, and in short time the patient
is able to go about as usual" These tablets
may be obtained at all druggists Ask for
AK Tablets. They are also unexcelled for
headaches, neuralgia and all pains.

Investigation of Kansas Bridge
Trust Monday.
A. Nj. Keene of Fort Scott
Named a Special Assistant.
PICKED OUT THEIR TERRITORY
Keene Says Methods Appeared
"Cut and. Dried"
"NO Honest and Fair Compete
ton for Contracts"

Investigation of the bridge trust in
Kansas will be under the direction of
A NJ Keene of Fort Scott, appointed
special assistant today by S. M. Brew
ster, attorney general. Keene is
spending the day in conference with
his investigation next Monday.
Hundreds of bits of evidence gath
cred by the attorney general were con-
sidered at today's conference. This
evidence concerning bridge contract
letting came from every section of the
state and almost every county. The
inquiry means that the state VIII call
several hundred witnesses, will in
quire into records of the various coun-
ties and even the bridge building COM
panies. Demands may be made dur
ing the hearing for correspondence
I'VE are going right to the bottom
comment today concerning the inves-
tigation. ASK Keene about the de-
tails"
"Keene declared that he was not at
this time prepared to make definite
statement.
1--WE will start Monday" said the
special assistant, who was chairman
of the house ways and means commit
tee during the recent legislative ses-
sion. 81 have not as yet had an OPP
portunity to examine the evidence
gathered by General Brewster. 1t
looks, though, that there has not been
an honest or fair competition in the
bids for bridge work. Territory seems
to have been allotted and each COM
pany enjoyed it's proportionate share
of cream, with the assurance that no
other company would underbid them
in their allotted district"
Keene stated that he did not know
the number of bridge companies
which might be affected by the inves-
tigation. The number might be as
high as 25 or 80, he thought.
In taking testimony, Keene will Wis
it all portions of the state. Several
months may be required to conclude
the inquiry. The work will be under
the personal direction of the attorney
general. 1t was stated this afternoon
that the place of holding the first in
quiry had not been determined.

is YOUR SKIN
TENDER? TRY
RESINOL SOAP

Any soap will CLEAN your skin-a
bar of laundry soap will do it if you do
not care what becomes of your COM
plexion. But you know that laundry
soap contains harsh, drying alkah
that would ruin your kin and hair, so
you never think of using it for your
toilet.
Many toilet soaps contain this same
injurious alkaH. Resinol Soap con-
tains absolutely no free alkali, and to
it is added that medication which has
made Resinol Ointment so successful
in the treatment of skin and scalp af
fections. This gives 1t soothing, heal
ing properties which clear the COM
pleXion, comfort tender skins and
keep the hair rich and lustrous. Res

Sex of the Insane.

OF approximately every 500 persons
in the United States in 1910, there
was one an inmate of an insane asy-
lum. The exact figures expressed IN
a recent report of the census bureau
state that in a typical community OF
200, 900 persons, equally divided as to
SEX EOS of the males and 200 of the
females would be found in the insane
asylums. In 1880 the total number
of inmates in insane asylums in the
United States included 20,635 males
and 20,3O7 females. Thirty years lat
er the number of male inmates had in
creased to 1886 and the number of
female inmates to S0,096- The ex-
cess of men among admissions in 1910
indicated a still further increase in
the proportion, namely 12S males to
100 females. An analysis of these adj
missions as to the specific forms of
insanity involved brings to light the
interesting fact that if alcoholic psy-
Ghosts and general paralysis are de-
Quoted, the proportion of the sexes is
practically the same--American Medi-
cal Journal.

A Message To Thin,
Weak, Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to 80 lbs. of Solid,
Healthy, Permanent Flesh.

Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to saw IT
can't understand why 1 do not get fat
eat plenty of good, nouFishing food .
The reason is just this: You cannot get
fat, no matter how much you eat unless
your digestive organs assimilate the fat
making elements of your food instead of
passing them out through the body as
waste.
What is needed is a means of gently
urging the assinilative functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the oils
and fats and hand them over to the
blood, where they may reach the starved,
shrunken, run down tissues and build
them up. The thin persons body is like
fatty materials of which 1t is being de-
prived by the failure of the alimentary
canal to take them from the food The
best way to overcome this sinful waste
of flesh building elements and to stop
the leakage. of fats is to use sargol.- the
that is recommended highly by ply
sicians here and abroad Take a little
Sargol tablet with every meal and notice
how quickly your cheeks fill out and
rolls of firm, healthy flesh deposited
over your body, covering each bony angle
and other good druggists have Sargol,
r can get it from their wholesaler, and
will refund your money If you are not
satisfied with the gain in weight it pro-
duces as stated on the guarantee in each
package. 1t is inexpensive, easy to take
