Handling Raw Deals.

n It'll infamous attack OH Isaac
IEoston consisted in showing the pub

Coston.s candidacy on the deception
that the water and sewerage board
was bankrupt. The real attack was
that by the Exponent on men who
have conducted the water and sewer

have the same on fine financial iba-

Before the Exponent made that at
tack on members OF the water and

minded itself that the race is shat
tered and torn by. militant powers
and half the Christian world is in
the deadly grasp OF strife and conflict
and we should turn aside from any
thing which will initiate against a
friendly feeling Of good will" It
should also recall at this time that
the Telegram said nothing whatever
about the candidacy OF Coston until
after the Exponent had made
its unwarranted attack on the
members. OF the water works

Salina, Kan, Dec. 23.-Delays in
the office of the state automobile de-
partment at Topeka is causing the Sa-
lima police force all sorts of trouble
in their efforts to enforce the speed
laws. Six weeks ago Marshal Burke
sent request for a list of automobile
numbers and owners for Saline coun-
ty. The cash accompanied the order,
but the list has never shown up. Sew
eral times the Officers have had i'm
mediate need of it.
I'VE are probably being blamed
right now for not enforcing the law
when citizens stand ready to testify"
said Policeman A. F. Gibson this
morning land unless they know the
situation you can't blame them much.
On two or three occasions citizens
have telephoned the numbers of GER
tain cars with the information that If
we will arrest the drivers that they
will appear in police court and fur
nfsh the evidence of excessive speed
ing. We have no list and have not
been able to find the cars We had
thrown out the challenge for the pub
lice to furnish the evidence and that
we would do the rest You see where
the delay at Topeka is placing us. If
the thing ever arrives it will give us

NOT IN GOOD SHAPE.
ment Indicates That Affairs Some
Topeka Concerns Need Adjustment.

Special reports concerning the con-
dition of three Topeka insurance COM
panies, are being gathered by the
state insurance department. The
companies include the Topeka Mutual
Livestock, the Topeka National Live
stock and the Central National Hail
Insurance company.
Reports which have been in the
hands of the insurance department
for several months have indicated that
some of the affairs of the companies
were not in the best of condition. On
several occasions within the last year,
the state department has called on
representatives of one or more of the
condition. Recently. a number of hail
insurance companies in the state
failed to pay dollar for dollar on
their crop losses. Included in the list
were several of the insurance COM
panieS now involved in the trouble
with the state department.
All of the three companies are con-
trolled by ]. H. White, of Kansas
City, Mo. Recently NJ. A. Isaacs,
representing the Topeka National
Livestock company, left Topeka. 1t
was reported that he had gone to
New York. Now it is stated that he
is in Oklahoma His testimony is
wanted by he state department. Not
until reporcs are filed by the special
accountants, will the state insurance
commissioner be able to make a state
ment as to the exact condition of the
companies under Whites control.

Merrtck Tells This ono.

When R. G. Merrick, of Topeka,
assistant general freight agent of the
Santa Fee railway, was in the Ozark
country East summer, he tried an ex-
pertinent with a fish he had caught.
Mr.. Merrick conceived the idea of
training the fresh water animal so
he would not need to be IN water all
of the time. Twice a day the railroad
man took the fish out of the water
and laid him on the grass, increas-
ing the amount of this exercise daily
until finally the fish didn't need any
water at all.
Then Mr. Merrick brought his treas
ure to his Topeka home and he was
made a household pet. The fish would
be put on the carpet and would wrig-
gle around through the house with
great delight. One day a catastrophe
happened to Freddie, the fish. Fred
die was placed out in the yard and
was enjoying himself in great fashion.
A hose had been running on the lawn
and at one place it made a small pool
of water. Freddie wandered into the
DOoI and was drowned.

Girls and women with sallow skins,

coated tongue, bad taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with head
aches, bilious spells, acid stomach or

one or two weeks.
A quarter pound of limestone phos-

that just soap and hot water

skin on the outside, so hot water and

internal sanitation is vastly more i'm

pores do.
Women who desire to enhance the
beauty of their complexion should just

ICE ON GALVESTON BAY.
Judge Smith Recounts Wonders of
Gulf Port Winter.

w. r. Smith, Santa Fe solicitor for
Kansas, has just returned from trip
to Texas and he says that Galveston
bay is frozen over. That is remark
able for the gulf port
THE most wonderful feature of
this" Judge Smith told visitor to-
day, sis the fatalities it causes among
pelicans. A pelican, as everyone
knows, is a bird which hovers over
the water until he spies a fish. Then
he dives down into the water and gets
the fish.
Most of the birds had never seen
ice before. When the pelicans gazed
down through the transparent ice,
they spied fish and dived for them.
But the heads of the birds struck the
hard zee and necks were broken"
Judge Smith says that the muni-
cipality and the county appropriated
money to hire a large force of men to
carry away the dead pelicans and
bury them. When Smith was there
thousands could be seen as far as the
human eve could reach.

To look ones best and feel ones
best is to enjoy an inside bath each
morning to flush from the system the
previous days waste, sour fermenta-

coal, when it burns, leaves behind
certain amount of incombustible ma

and drink taken each day leave in the
alimentary organs a certain amount of
indigestible material, which if not
eliminated, form toxins and poisons
which are then sucked into the blood
through the very ducts which are in
tended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of
healthy bloom in your cheeks, to see
your skin get clearer and clearer, you
are told to drink every morning upon

RAIL ROADS
new STREET CARS
Topeka Railway Company Is
Building One-Man Vehicles.
Other Items of General Interest
in the Traffic World.

The Topeka Railway company is
building some one-man street cars to
be used on the Country club-Loop line.
According to A. M. Patten, assistant
general manager of the Illinois Trac-
ton company. one of these cars will
be ready for service early in January.
Since the railway company first put
on the one-man system on the Coun-
try club line, it has been operating
regular cars with the rear doors
locked.
This has proved rather incon-
Venient. The new cars will have a
large platform in front, sliding doors
operated from the motorman's COM
partment and will be otherwise irf line
with one-man cars used elsewhere.
The company promises that the new
ones will be a great deal better than
those used now.
