I'CALL OF OPEN FIELDS
Imri ZumwaIt Issues New Book of
Verse

THE Call of the Open Fields a
lite volume of verse just issued,
marks the debut of Imri Zumwalt, edi-
tor of the Bonner Springs Chieftain
into the scanty band of poets in Kan
sas. The verse in his little booklet,
issued attractively for the holiday.
sale, represents the best work of Zum-
walt doned during the past four years..
Some of it has seen print in Topeka
and Kansas City papers. The book is
illustrated by Abe Gordon, formerly
with the Topeka State Journal and
now a reporter on the Kansas City
Journal. His illustrations add greatly
to the charm of the book.
Many of the lyrics are inspired by
beauties of Kansas nature, but there
are others that touch with real dignity
the deep issues of life. Among these
are Death" and 1.-The Quest of Truth"
The title poem The Call of the Open
Fields is a true lyric, instinct with
in spring. Among the poems that
make fitting the sale of the volume in
the Christmas holidays are THE Naza-
rene and Manager and the Cross. I"
The war has also awakened some
strong expressions from the lyre of
the Bonner Springs poet.
Zumwalt is a Washburn graduate
of the elias of '03, and is a member OF
the Phi Delta Theta fraternity. In
addition to publishing the Chieftain he
is also employed in the state fire mar
shaIs office. The book is from his
own press

Nothing Fancy Wanted for

Chicken and cranberries? Huh,

man on the East side who was ap-
preached by an emissary of the Con-

wants for a Thanksgiving basket.

always been good enough for me, but

So one Thanksgiving basket will OBJ

For even a small amount of cram

sauce. And if the sauce is already
made the money that it takes to max :

food that is more nutritious and less

CUT OUT MEATS
IF KIDNEYS ARE

Uric Acid in meat excites Kidneys

Noted Authority says we must flush
Kidneys with Salts if
Back hurts.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well known authority, who warns US
to be constantly on guard against kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system

der is irritable. obliging you to seek

Jad Salts: take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in a few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice. combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, TO
neutralize the acids in urine so il is
no longer a source of irritation thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot

Doctor Van Horns speech is fol-
low-up of the firing of several stars
off the football squad last week for
smoking cigarettes. High school au-
thOritieS are making determined
campaign against the pills. Those in
terested in the anti-nicotine movement
in the high school assert that nearly
two-thirds of the boys use tobacco.
The high school bulletin board is
being plastered with the expressions
of noted men, adverse to the using of
cigarettes. High school students, not
in sympathy with the movement, deco
rated some of the posters by affixing
cigarettes and matches thereto.

PULMOTOR WAS USED
Baby Brought to Life, Only to Die

For two hours Sunday afternoon
three physicians and firemen in
charge of the pulmotor, worked des-
pefately to bring a new born babe to
life at 323 Jackson street. At the end
of that time the little boy was breath
ing naturally, but he died this morn
ing.
Heart beats could be detected when
the child was born. shortly after 5
o'clock in the afternoon. Artificial
respiration was tried without avail.
Finally the physicians called for the
pulmotor and the request was answer
ed by ] s. Blankenship of fire head
quarters. More than 60 litres of
oxygen were used before the child be-
gan to breath naturally. 1t is the sec
ond time since the pulmotor has been
received in Topeka that it has been
pressed into service, in the case Of a
