Guardsmen Arriving Rapidly.
General Scales told reporters that
until he investigated further he could
not say just when the troops could
all be in camp.
The opinion of officers, however, is
that the entire strength of the Ma
tional Guard will be here by the mid
die of next week at the very latest.
The guardsmen are making every
effort to raise recruits and NJ. A. Pill

PLEA FOR A HORSE
Public Health Nursing Association
Needs Animal.

The Public Health Nursing associa-
tion this morning sounded a plea for q
horse. It makes little difference what
kind of d horse they get so long as the
beast is able to carry a passenger or
two over the three quarters of mile
that separates the tuberculosis SAM
tarium from the end of the street car
line.
Under present conditions, patients
or visitors who travel between the
sanitarium and the street car nne mus
do so on foot. Even the crudest kind
of a transportation system between
the two points to displace present
conditions will be highly appreciated,
members of the association announced
this morning.
The association is not looking Tor
pedigreed animal. A horse that mas
outlived it's usefulness for active serv-
ice probably will just meet the needs
of the sanitarium. The animal Will
be accorded every courtesy that 1t Is
possible to show horse that has
behind him long and honorable rec
ord. Persons having a beast that they
would care to donate to the hospital
can get in touch with the nursing asso-
citation by calling telephone number
iii.
City water Thursday afternoon dis
placed the wells at the tuberculosis
sanitarium. Water pipes and other
equipment were placed in the :nstitu-
ton just as the lone well on the
grounds dried out. For a day before
city water was available water was
carried to the hospital from neigh
boring farm.
All walls in the sanitarium are be-
ing calsomined today. The work prob
ably will be completed tomorrow
Other recent improvements include
nlacinz of awnings over windows on
the west side of the building, where
ward rooms are located.
Books and magazines are needed at
the hospital, it was stated today.
Practically the only recreation the
twelve natients at the institution OBJ
tain is through reading. And the sup
ply of reading material is running low.
Persons who have occasion to drive
past the hospital are earnestly urged
to leave worth while books OF an
kind at the sanitarium. A supply OF
fruits and iellies for next winter
consumption also is being collected

SHE DIDN'T KNOW
DR.. Eva Harding Spent $500 for Her
2,4oS Votes.

H. J. Corwine, who won the Demo-
cratic nomination fo~ congress in the
First district, spent $3.50 in campaign
expenses while Dr.. Eva Harding. his
opponent, spent 800 and was beaten.
The expense accounts of the two can
didates have been filed with the Sec
rotary of state.
Complete returns from over the
district gave Corwine 2,T35 votes, as
against 2,4OS for Doctor Harding.
Commenting on her defeat Doctor
Harding said she was glad she had
been spared the expense of cam
paign for the election. In reality. she
said, she was blazing the WY for wo-
H.en who in later years would desire
to go to congress from Kansas dis
tricts.
Doctor Harding declared she was
ashamed of her expense account But
there were no bargain days in STAMPS
for me. I didn't have a job at the pie
counter and didn't have public paid
stenographer to do my work. So I
simply paid my own expenses and IT
would have drained the treasury, I
suppose, had I been nominated"

new STYLE COPY BOOK
Writing viii Be Done on Paper Sepa-
rate From Text.

The old fashioned copy book is a
thing of the past in Kansas, according
to statement made by w. r. Smith,
state printer, at the Topeka CONNER
cial club today. The copy for the
pupils to initiate in their writing this
year will be found in a separate book
furnished by the state.
The copy paper will be supplied sep
arate from the copy book. 1t will
come, in envelopes sold by the state to
the book dealers. The copy book will
contain nothing but copy. 1t is the
theory that when a child purchases a
copy book he will purchase an en-
velope of copy paper. The state claims
that by pursuing this method the pu-
pills will get more copy paper for their
money. The plan was adopted at a
recent meeting of the school book
commission.
