TURN REFUSE INTO CASH
Experts Find Enormous Wealth in BY.
Products

Not many people realize the enor-
nous wealth that lies in what are
known as by-products. Take Sleeps
Tool, for example.
The grease and dirt which are
washed out of it are full OF potash
and potash salts, and in the wool
securing factories of France and Bel.
GUM these by-products are extracted
IRON the water in which the wool is
washed, and produce profits running
into thousands OF pounds of sterling.
AS for slaughterhouses they are
perfect gold mines OF wealth in the
matter of by-products. Blood, bones,
grease, horns, hair, everything is
saved and transformed into thou
sands of useful articles by chemical
and other processes. Taking gold
mines, one OF the most important of
the chemical by-products of the
slaughterhouse is employed in gold

GERMANY'S NEW PLEDGE
ABOUT SUBMARINE WAR

Germany gives our Government
a new assurance that American lives
will not be destroyed in the Mediter-
ranean-but omits to promise as to
the waters about the British Isles.
The assurance came in the form of
instructions given to the German Am
bassador at Washington, and by him
communicated to Secretary Lansing.
1t is in these words:
German submarines in the Medi-
terranean had, from the beginning,
orders to conduct cruiser warfare
against enemy merchant vessels only
in accordance with general principles
of international law. In particular
measures of reprisal as applied in the
war zone around the British Isles,
were to be excluded.
German submarines are therefore
permitted to destroy enemy merchant
vessels in the Mediterranean-i. e.,
passenger as well as freight ships as
far as they do not try to escape or Of
fer resistance-only after passengers
and crews have been accorded safe
ty....
"If commanders of German sub
marines should not have obeyed the
orders given to them they will be
punished. Furthermore, the German
Government will make reparation for
damage caused by death of or injur-
les to American citizens"

Topeka and Meriden appeared before
the county commissioners today in
an effort to have the routing of

ALL ARE GOOD THROWERS
Baseball Practice Valuable to Future
American Bomb Hurlers.

Washington, Sept. 11.-"Don't take
your boy behind the woodshed if he
throws a baseball thru the window
but encourage him in his efforts to
learn to throw" said an officer of the
United States marine corps today.
Americans would be the best bomb
and hand grenade throwers in the
world and therefore the best fitted to
fight under modern conditions, such
as those in Europe today.
1.-The average American youth early
learns to throw a baseball accurate
ly and with speed, and that is the rea-
son we are as a nation especially fit
ted for trench warfare. Baseball is
encouraged in the marine corps, and
the skill displayed by marines-even
unframed recruits-in the bomb and
hand grenade drill is nothing short of
remarkable"

Faithful Dog Leaves Jail with
His Mistress.
For Weeks He Has Touched
Her With His Cold Nose.
TOOK UP TRAIL OF THE POLICE
For Days He Tried to Kun
Blockade of Side Swipes.
Now Mrs. Katharine Tassell is
Out-And So Is Hickory.

"Hickory'' is just a common ordl-
nary dog most days, but today he is
the happiest member of the canine
family in Topeka Today is his big
day His mistress was released from
the county Jail and "Hickorys' sixty
days of grief are over. Hickory be
longs to Mrs. Katherine Tassel. That $
the way the dog-book over in the CITY
hall reads But if Hickory could talk
he would have it that Katherine Tas-
sell belongs to him.
When Mrs TasselI was sent to Jail
last July for violating the prohobltory
law Hickory watched the arrest from
behind a door. When she went to jail
he waited around home for While
but when his mistress did not come
back he took up the trail Only dog
would know how he managed to reach
the Jail door hours later. He walked
into the office boldly and started to
march on through to the stairway that
leads to the women's ward.
The jailer and the TRUSTEES saw only
dog. They couldn't see what it was
that was driving him. So they ran
him out. Hickory sat down outside
on the top step. He waited until
things quoted down, then he tried to
run the blockade again. He failed,
and barely beat a broom through the
door Time after time he tried, and
finally lodged through. He found
the stairway and found Mrs. TaSSell
There was a happy reunion, for his
mistress thinks much of Hickory
Therefore he made regular trips to
the Jail Officials found it was use
less to try to keep him out, and they
quit trying.
He has not yet stayed at the Jail all
the time, but when he left he in
variab bly, walked up to Mrs. Tassell,
touched her hand with his cold nose
and walked away
Today the county commissioners
allowed Mrs. Tassell to pay the costs
in her case-S71. leave the
Jail on a parole. She served her time
but has not paid her fine of 5000.
Mrs. Tassell was undoubtedly pleased
over the parole, but her attitude was
one of deep sorrow as compared with
that of Hickory"
