What CAUSES COLDS?

This question IS asked every day.
A cold is really a fever, not always
caused by the weather but often due to
disordered blood or lack of important
food-elements. In changing seasons
fat-foods are essential because they
distribute heat by enriching the blood
and so render the system better
able to withstand the varying elements.
This is the important reason why

WORK in SECRET
Two Men Who Spy on the Pur-

No One Who Buys on Credit

Don't Watch Out.
BY THE CARD INDEX SYSTEM

Tucked away in a box like room on
the sixth floor of the New England
building two men can be found daily
working Ike beavers asserting cards
and answering hundreds of telephone
calls. Probably not one hundred peo-
pie in Topeka know either of them by
sight or name for their place of bust
ness does not appear on the door nor
in the telephone directory nor in che
city directory. Yet they know more
about the honesty of the people of To-
peka than any two men in the city.
They're the secretary and his assistant
of the Topeka Credit House associa-
ton.
AS secret as the work done by the
association was an annual meeting of
its members held at the Commercial
club last night. Some of the wealth
! lest bankers, merchants, druggists and
representative mon of other lines of
business were present and proclaimed
the three year old organization one
of the most essential in the business
life of Topeka
Credit Men Directors.
Directors were elected for the sec
ond time and it was decided that the
success of the association warranted
the election of officers and they will
be selected at a later meeting. The
directors include ]. Ernest Jones as
sistant cashier of the Merchants Ma
tional bank; Cyrus L. f. Edwards,
credit man Tor CROSBY Bros, w lllldIn
Jacobs, jr. credit man for Emahizer

$4,000 Ask for Credit.
Reports made by the secretary in
dictated that $4,000 people in Topeka
and vicinity call for credit and a card
index of the credit transa ctions of
every one of the SO, 900 in every store
of the association is maintained by
the secretary. A man may pay
clothier promptly, a druggist gets his
money after much difficulty and the
hardware man can't get a cent out of
him He goes to a dry goods store and
asks for credit. The credit man calls
the secretary and from the card index
full history of the mans transac-
tions is given to the inquirer and he
governs his extension of credit to the
customer accordingly. The father, son
and daughters in a family are all in
! dexed separately. From March, 1915,
| to March, 1916, the association has
answered 1889 inquiries from mer-
] chants In March. 1915, 379 in
quiries were made. while in March,
1916, the secretary answered 1856.

And gasoline yapor is one OF the
most deadly explosives known. It is
as powerful as gunpowder and far
more likely to be set off.
An explosion Of mixture Of 10 per
cent Of gasoline vapor with air has
been known to wreck a small house
completely The sides OF the house
were blown out. the roof collapsed;
the wreckage was set on fire and
the whole thing destroyed
Gasoline vapor is heavier than air

that intimacy has bred contempt. But
sooner or later the careless user Of
gasoline comes to grief, and if he is
not killed he stands a good show Of
losing all his possessions.
Gasoline should never be used in a
room where there is a fire. It should
never be used at night. and never
in the house if it is possible to go
out Of doors.
In cleaning silk. great care should
be taken. The tendency of silk to
generate static electricity is wei
known. and when it is rubbed yio-
lently this is increased. The dis
charge OF this electricity may take
the form Of an invisible spark. hut
the spark is hot enough to ignite
the gasoline vapor
There is no excuse for keeping
gasoline in the house in anything
except one of the modern safety cans.
These cans are so ingeniously con
trived that it is impossible for a spark
to enter the can. The mouth Of the
can Is protected by a fine mesh screen

lamp, prevents the entrance Of FIRE

is necessary to keep on hand a gal
Ion or more. it should be placed as
far from the house as possible. Where
It is stored in larger quantities it
should be contained in an underground
tank and raised by a pump. The
farther away from the house the tank
Is kept the better.
These rules, which apply 70 the
use of gasoline. should also be fol- .
lowed in handling kerosene. Denz!ne .
and the other highly volatile oils.
It is not so many years ago that .
the starting OF a fire in the stove
with kerosene oil was one of the
,tandard jokes Of the comic papers.

lt was no joke, however to the per
