NEW WAR SHOCK!
PRICE OF BABIES
NOW $1OO MORE

London, Aug. lit is estimated
that the all-around expenditure on a
baby born this year is probably from
800 to $125 higher than in 1914.
Food alone adds about SIS to the
years cost of the war-baby- Milk has
gone up 4 cents a quart and it is said
that the average baby consumes from
400 to $50 pints a year. Baby foods
are up about 10 per cent Feeding
bottles cost a third more, and the
methylated spirit for heating the
nights feed has advanced from 10
cents to 25 cents pint.
Baby garments cost more also.
Everything made of wool has risen 33
per cent in price; all the cotton and
vol mixture materials and garments
are 25 per cent higher. and the wholly
cotton ones. owing to the rise in raw
materials and labor, must be paid for
at the rate of about Is per cent more.
Even Baby's Bath Costs More
Even a babys bath costs about one
third more; soap is a third dearer,
the bath thermometer is up about rs
per cent, toilet powder-chiefly be-
cause of the rise in the price OF the
boric acid it contains-is Zoe per cent
dearer
Nearly all medicines cost much
more.
Perambulators are about one-fourth
dearer What formerly was sold for
SIS is now $50 and SO on. A cot that
could be bought before the war fol SIS
IS now $3.50; the fleecy WOO; mattress,
baby's basket and baby's high chair
are all up proportionately.
Nurses wages have advanced SIS or
more and her keep is costing at lea st
one-third more-an increase of 500 or
more a year.

ANYTHING TO GET HOME
Texas Guardsnen Shoot OF Fingers
and Toes for Dismissal.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 17.-National
guardsbnen are being driven to des-
peration by their enforced idleness on
the border and are choosing the two
most precarious methods to get home
-desertion and self inflicted wounds.
This was the statement today of Roy
Gambrell. former city fireman and
now connected with the hospital corps
Of the Texas National Guard. He vas
in Dallas to take a deserter back to
camp.
There are between sixteen and
twenty men in the Texas National
Guard hospital at Maria with bullet
wounds in their legs, feet and hands,
as result of their trying to get their
release from border duty" said Gam
brell. "Since have been down there
a large number of men have been sent
to the hospital who shot a finger or
toe off, but none of them have been
released. The officers decided in most
of the cases that the shooting was not
accidental We have had large num-
Der of desertions lately. L know of
one man having deserted four times

FIRE
Bass Plant Destroyed at a Loss
of $4,000.
Telephone Service Fails and
Flames Spread.

The Ed Bass greenhouse, opposite
League park on East Fifteenth street,
is a total loss as a result of fire Which
early this morning swept over the
plant A two story residence occu-
pied by the proprietor and his fam
lily and nine small buildings connected
with the greenhouse were totally de-
stroyed. Damage is estimated at Sl0,-
600.
When wagons from headquarters
fire station and station No. 8 reached
the greenhouse flames had completely
engulfed the residence and conserva-
tory Immediately behind it. Efforts of
fremen to save buildings burning
when they arrived were futile. They
directed their energies to saving sew
eral other greenhouses south of the
residence
The fire is believed to have started
in the boiler house shortly after
o'clock. Mrs. Bass was awakened by
smoke and aroused her husband. Eff
forts to call the fire department were
unavailing when the telephone serv-
ice failed. An alarm was not sounded
until 5:13 o'clock. Flames spread rap
idly over the dry buildings. From the
boiler houses they Tapped their way
to the residence. In a few minutes
the building resembled bonfire. Ef-
forts to save furniture were headed
off by the fire and only a sidebcard
and sewing machine were saved.
Flames had covered the front part
of the house when Mrs. Bass recalled
that a young son, William was asleep
in an upstairs bedroom. Reaching the
child, Mrs. Bass carried him over the
roof, from which she jumped to
greenhouse which was built adjoining
the residence.
Besides the house and furniture, a
propagating house, the conservatory,
a buggy shed, a garage, pumping sta
ton, boiler house, south annex and
show room were destroyed by the fire.
The plant which was probably the
best equipped in the county, was val
ued at $4,000. Less than half the
amount of the damage is covered by
insurance
Hose which Mr.. Bass connected to
a water faucet in an effort to fight
the flames before help arrived melted
Neighbors arriving found him in his
night shirt attempting to move part
of his furniture out of reach of the
fire. Following the first excitement,
it was discovered that even Bass trou-
sers were destroyed. Clothing was
loaned him by neighbors this morning.

CALL FOR PEACE
German People Would End
War at Any Cost.
Strong Measures Fail to Sup
press the Agitation.

Rotterdam, Aug. 17.-Thruout Ger
many the authorities have their hands
full confiscating and trying to trace
the source of pamphlets advocating
peace at any price. This symptom of
revolt among a large section of the
people recently assumed alarming
proportions. A few days ago there
was a house-to-house search in Ber-
lin, resulting in the arrest of an edi-
tor and printer associated with the
socialist organization.
Strongest measures, however, failed
to suppress this form of agitation
against war, which is so widespread as
to BATTLE the efforts of the military
and police. 1t is proof of the exist
ence of a great undercurrent of dis
content approaching rebellion among
the working classes of Germany.

Minimum Gas Question Could
Have Been Settled.
Bill in Legislature in 1915 But
Capper Gave No Heed.
IT DIED ON HOUSE CALENDAR
Nothing in Governors Message
to Indicate Support.
Act Provided That No Minimum
Whatever Be Charged.

Governor Capper's zeal in con-
demning the minimum rate. in the
gas controversy, is the result of a re-
cent conviction, according to persons
who are in touch with some of the
governors official acts of the last 18
months Today it was pointed out
that Governor Capper failed to pro-
test when the legislature went home
without passing the anti minimum
charge bill.
In both the 1913 and 1915 legisla
tive sessions a bill was before the
state legislature which would have
provided just the relief the state
seems to seek at this time. The mat
ter of a minimum charge for such
commodities as electricity, gas, water
and other service would have been
impossible under the proposed law.
Several Messages.
During the time the measure was
pending in the legislature, Governor
Capper sent several special messages
to the law makers. On one occasion
ne regarded pending appropriation
bills of such importance that he per
sonally went before both houses with
his message. None of the messages.
however, mentioned the anti minimum
charge bill.
Legislative records show that in
production of the anti minimum
charge bill was made early in the
session and that after the bill had
been amended by the house utilities
committee, it was permitted to die on
the calendar. The house bill was in
troduced by Representative Holbrook
in 1913, while the senate bill came
from Senator Kinkle in 1915. Nothing
in the governors messages or in the
efforts of the governors leaders in
the two houses indicated that the ad-
nfnistration favored the bill which
would have provided relief in the
present gas controversy

row BURN
Fire Destroys Oldest Structure
at the Poor Farm.
Main Building Was Saved Ow-
ing to Favorable Wind.

Smoky Row the oldest structure
on the county poor farm, north Of the
city, burned 20 the ground shortly
after noon today. Fire is believed to
have started from spark which
dropped on the roof of the building
from a chimney at the south end of
the structure.
Six invalids who were quartered in
Smoky Row" were carried from the
building when fire was discovered. In
mates at the home exhibited little ex-
citement, and those able to do so
joined bucket brigade organized to
fight the flames. A chemical wagon
was rushed to the farm from North
Topeka station but arrived too late to
save the building.
Favorable wind which blew from
the south saved the main building
south of Smoky Row" A row of
chicken houses and several other
structures north of the burned build
ing were saved by the bucket brigade.
The fire lasted more than an hour.
