PAPER MARKET WORSE
Country Offices Soon Must Take What
ever They Can Get.

Uniformity in size of Kansas news
papers will be a thing of the past in a
short time, according to a prediction
made this morning by W. r. Smith,
state printer, after returning from the
paper market at Kansas City Mr.
Smith found the market in a worse
condition yesterday than he did a few
weeks ago.
at won't be long until the country
newspapers must be content to re-
ceive any kind of news print paper
tho paper houses have on hand" said
Mr.. Smith. "An edition will be one
size one week and another the next
noted this week that the independence
Reporter was obliged to change the
size of its paper
Conditions are worse than l ever
saw them and don't believe the av-
erage country newspaper man realizes
yet the troubles he is going to have
in a short time. Take for instance
the Rhinelander mills in Wisconsin
which in past years have supplied half
of the Kansas papers with news print
ture of news print paper altogether"
Continuing, Mr.. Smith predicted
that the advance on print paper will
be doubl by fall The cheaper black
inks have increased 10 cents a pound
as have all other printing materials
Does this mean that the price of
school books will advance?' he was
asked.
mo: we were fortunate in purchas-
ing sufficient stock in advance and
the rise will not affect the state books
this year and they will sell at the old
price"

BUD, HE'S A SLICkER!
Did You Notice How Mutt and Jeff
Dropped the Gar?

Yep. Buds a sicker. The way he
got out of that scrape with the Rus
sian embassy was certainly easy ana
shows that Bud has the faculty of TAX
ing unto himself the virtues of his ia
nous cartoon characters, Mutt and
Jeff. The most striking feature of the
affair was the way he slid from under
and escaped the wrath of Russia
The fact that Mutt and Jeff APP
peared in the State Journal with the
car for some time and subjected that
royal parsonage to many indignities
finally came to the attention of Rus
sian diplomats in the United States
and they sent up cry that carried to
the gods of the newspaper world. IL
the next cartoon appearing in the
State Journal last night the objection
was exploded when the embryo car
disappeared from the home of Mutt
and Jeff and left a note to the effect
that he was only valet to the car
in masquerade.

Too much regulation, supervision
and control has taken privileges from
the plain, common citizen on foot, &C
cording to a letter sent to the State
Journal today by Sam Carroll of To-
peka. Carroll complains most bitter
ly of the inspection of picture films
by select classes while the average
citizen with just one vote and a limit
ed influence in his own household is
denied an equal right.
Carroll read the stories of the re-
view of deleted films by Topeka and
Kansas City newspaper men at a din
ner this week by the Topeka Press
club. The naughty, suggestive films
AS the censors saw them-were
dragged from closets and displayed
before the newspaper men. No one
even considered that some innocent
newspaper man might be led astray
or fail to register at the family roof
tree at the accustomed hour. But the
public was different. 1t couldn't be
trusted Now Carroll arises to inquire
about the discrimination.
There is another thing rankles in
CARROTS. heart. He recalls that 500
or 400 newspaper men and state house
officials, their wives, relatives and
friends, were guests at a display of the
Birth of Nation" None of the
persons in attendance at the display
started a race riot, but Carroll recalls
most VlVldly that the state censors de-
clded his race passions for him in ad-
vance. Carroll is a compositor for the
Capper publications, according to the
city directory. In his letter to the

YOUNG MEMS GUARDS
Anti-Cigarette Organization Formed
With Membership of 700.

Seven hundred grade school boys
have formed an anti-cigaret organiza-
ton known as the Young Mems
Guards" The organization is for the
purpose of maintaining the highest
moral standard for its members and
to crusade particularly against the
cigaret evil. The membership pledge
provides that they take the best of
care of their physical and mental re
sources. Only those who have never
trafficked with Madame Nicotine are
eligible to membership and the first
fnhaIe of tobacco smoke automatically
Gusts them from participation in the
organization. The membership is also
confined to boys in the fourth and
fifth grades.
The emblem of ''The Guards is a
gold star. The motto is Strength,
Courage and Patriotism" There are
four degrees of membership. First
year members wear one gold star, sec
ond year, two stars, and third year,
three. The fourth and final annual
degree provides one large gold star.
The new organization is to be under
the guidance of VIM P. Mclean, di-
rector of athletics in Topeka schools.

MANURIGl"
THE NEWEST
DISCOVERY in CHEMISTRY

This is a recent discovery of Doctor
Pierce, who is head of the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Doctor Pierce's
Hospital for several years proved that
there is no other eliminator of uric acid
that can be compared to it. For those
easily recognized symptoms of inham-
nation as backache, scalding urine
and frequent urination, as well as sedi-
ment in the urine, or if uric acid in the
blood has caused rheumatism, it is
simply wonderful how surely NAnuric"
acts. The best of results are always
obtained in cases of acute rheumatism
in the joints, in gravel and govt, and
invariably the pains and stiffness which
SO frequently and persistently accom-
pany the disease rapidly disappear.
Go to your nearest drug store and
simply ask for a 50-cent package of
cAnuric," manufactured by DR.. Pierce,
or even write Doctor Pierce for a free
sample. If you suspect kidney or blad-
der trouble, send him a sample of your
water and describe symptoms. Doctor
Pierce's chemist will examine it, then
DR.. Pierce will report to you, without
fee or charge.
NOTE :-French scientists affirm that
cAnuric" is thirty seven times more
active than ithia in eliminating uric
acid, and is harmless but reliable
chemical compound that may be safely
given to children, but should be used
only by grown-ups who actually wish to
restore their kidneys to perfect health,
by conscientiously using one box or
more in extreme cases as oAnuric"
thanks to Doctor Pierce's achievement)
is by far the most perfect kidney and
bladder corrector obtainable.

CLOSES NORTH PORTS
Russian Decree Indicates Extensive
Troop Shipments to Aid France.

New York, April 21.-The Russian
governments decree closing the port
of Archangel to all ship cargoes ex-
cept those exclusively for use by the
government has been broadened to in
clude all White Sea and Arctic ports,
it was made known today at the office
of the Russian commercial attache
here.
No official explanation has been re-
ceived in New York as to the reason
for the decree. One Interpretation
advanced in marine circles is that the
order has to do with the movement
of Russian troops to France.
1t was said here today that the Rus
sian embassy in Washington will soon
issue a statement indicating just what
ship movements to Russia are to be
permitted, under the decree.

1t is said that while thin people eat
