WANTS NAME CHANGED
Albin Gustafson Files His Application
in the District Court.

And what is your name, please ?"
Years ago. out at Clay Center Kan,
a touseled haired boy of five summers
fumbled a bright new slate and pulled
at the string that attached a pencil to
the frame. 1t was the first day of
school.
As the boy hesitated the teacher
smiled encouragement. Albin west
ling" he answered and the teacher
wrote it down in the roll book. For
a Topeka man that answer has proven
bothersome. He has two names and is
known by some of his friends by one
and by other friends under the other.
May "a, 1882, there was born to Mar
garet and Axel Gustafson a boy. He
was given the name of Albin A. A
year later the father died and five
years later the mother married c. w.
Westling. 1t was under the name of
Westling that he grew up.
Then in 1904 the young man mar
ried Miss Stella Spurrier. of Clay Cen
ter. Although he was generally known
by the name of Westling he was mar
ried under the name of Gustafson, as
he was advised that Gustafson was his
legal name.
Today he filed application in the
district court with Charles Bowers,
clerk, to legally change the name
from Gustafson to Westling. The man
lives in Topeka now. The application
is filed through s. L. Lashbrook, a
local attorney.

"A man can't have too many hand
kerchiefs," he said. 4 know 1 can
always use them, so l never hesitate to
purchase supply when those on hand
become unfit for immediate use AS
soon as they get soiled I toss them
back OF the sofa"
A year ago that pile protruded so
far over the top of the sofa that he
had to send a few to the washwoman.
Eighteen hundred were Numbered that

About 1000 furnished handkerchiefs

furniture, is WOrralls offhand con-

ming to become evident again.
Soiled collars only fill two bushel
baskets, so Professor Worrall is not
worrying about them yet And he still
has a drawer full of hose that are in
pretty fair shape.
The whole difficulty arises from the
fact that when Professor Worrall out
lined schedule for his days work
several years ago he forgot to include
time to look after his linen
But he is now rearranging his work
with view of remedying that over
sight. And it is highly probable, since
the professor is a man of unusual at
tainments, that while he is bordering
over the situation it will one day dawn
on him to call up some laundry that
possesses a telephone

flee" the professor sadly told a visitor
this afternoon, and he pointed to a
huge stack of neatly wrapped bundles
each containing five dress shirts that
show the marks of wear.
"A man who becomes absorbed in
his work can't give his wardrobe the
attention it deserves" Professor Wor-
rail- admitted. When you are wrap
ped up in your business you can not
possibly spare time to invoice your
sOiled linen and consequently it soon
piles up on you"
The professor dropped into a remi-
niscent pose.
That pile there has grown in just
year or two. l had a lot of stuff
washed then. And I've just got to ar
range my time so that 1 can send some
more of it to a washwoman who looks
after this for me-"
The visitor noticed a few handker-
chiefs protruding from behind a sofa
in a corner of the room. The profess
sor saw them also and hastily con-
fessed that they too would soon find
their way into a washtub.

they WANT PROBE
Citizens Urge Commissioner tc
Investigate Public Utilities
To See if They Owe the City
Any Money.

Letters are being sent to city COM
missiOners urging them to assert the
citys rights and demand an investi-
cation of the books of the Topeka
Edison company. the Topeka Street
Railway company and other local
public utilities The purpose is to
find out whether these utilities owe
the city any money. Three of the COM
missioners admitted today that there
was such an agitation on. None of
them was enthusiastic about the plan
and Mayor ]. E. House is unalterably
opposed to it.
The franchises granted the two util-
tiles mentioned provide that they shall
Fay to the city each year ten per cent
of the annual net earnings over and
above ten per cent earned upon the
actual value of the investment. The
utilities either pay or do not pay each
year, depending upon the showing
they find upon their books. One year
the Edison company paid the city
S1,1OO.
The city must accept what is given
it or investigate and demand, by legal
action, what they find is due. Mayor

order the kind of an investigation

SAYS HOT WATER
EACH DAY KEEPS
THE DOCTOR AWAY
Drink glass of hot water before
breakfast to wash out
the poisons.

Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. What
glorious condition to attain, and yet
how very easy it is if one will only
adopt the morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath. acid stom-
ach can, instead. feel as fresh as
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter.
Everyone. whether ailing, sick or
well, should, each morning, before
breakfast. drink a glass of real hot
water with a teaspoonful of lime
stone phosphate in it to wash from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels
the previous days indigestible waste,
sour bile and poisonous toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast. While
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and phosphate is quietly ex-
tracing large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells, stomach trouble, rheumatism
others who have sallow skins, blood
disorders and sickly compilations are
urged to get a quarter pound of lime
stone phosphate from the drug store
which will cost very little, but is suf-
ficient to make anyone a pronounced
crank on the subject of internal sanf-
tation.-AdvertiSem

New York, Jan. 6.-The United

to increase the wages of virtually all of
its unskilled employees about ten per

of present prosperous conditions. 1t
added that in addition to the new
wages for common laborers employees
in practically all departments of the
corporation will receive proportionate
increases. Adjustments in the wage
rates of the various mining companies
controlled by the corporation are also
under consideration.

WILL TRY IT AGAIN
Patrick Mckinley Announces Candi-
dacy for Phil Campbelfs Job.

Patrick Mckinley, Frontenac bank
er, will again try to defeat Phil P.
Campbell for congress in the Third
district. The announcement was made
public today when the Crawford coun-
ty man told Topeka friends that he
would be a congressional candidate in
the August primaries.
In 1914, Mckinley was the Demo-
cratic congressional nominee in the
Third district. He polled 21,400 votes,
or about 5000 less than did Campbell.
Now Mckinley figures that the Pro-
gressives will not present a candidate
against Campbell and he hopes for
most of the 1900 Progressive votes in
the district. All of which will give
him a good running chance-provided
further that he can pull a few votes
from the Socialist candidate.
