WHEAT DROPPED
ON HEAVY PRESSURE
Restricted Export Situation and
Good Precipitation Over
Winter Belt Factors

cHfcAGo, Jan g. - Heavy pressure
,sused pronounced weakness in the wheat
vnarket here today, owing to the restricted
sxport situation, Increasing stocks and
.ood precipitation over large part of the
u,nter belt on Saturday and Sunday. The
nrssttled foreign outlook also tended to
rsstrain confidence on the bull side
The liduidatlon in May was particu-
,.riv active. and that option suffered the
,nost extensive loss. Last Fridays break
dlslodged a lot of wheat, with the result
.hst many longs unloaded. There was
sslr support at times, but renewed selling
an fractional rallies that resulted kept
the market down.
The interest and the extent of the busi-
ness was not as great as usual, the an
rtial election occupying the attention of
traders. A dispatch from Winnipeg said
that the demand for the cash article
there was tame and that stop-loss or
aers had been uncovered. The market at
Minneapolis closed at noon out OF respect

Sentiment was much unsettled by the
sinking of additional vessels In the Med
uerrpnean IL was also surmised that
ihe wheat sold had not passed into strong
hands. A gain of 5.S33,0oO bushels in the
visible supply In the United States for
the week to 67,3ll,OOo bushels was re-
ported.
Corn also was wek. Many paper profits

BOARD OF HEALTH RULE
State Requests Cleanup Owing to In-
fantiIe Paralysis Scare.

In an effort to do all that is possi-
Bile to prevent the spread of infantiIe
paralysis in Kansas the state board
of health. through DIR. S. ]. Crumbine,
secretary. today issued the following
resolution to be passed by county
boards of health:
IAN appalling epidemic is sweeping
New York City and adjacent territory
and slowly spreading along the chan
nels of transportation of other cities
and states. 1t behooves Kansas to
mobilize her resources of defense to
stay the epidemic should it reach her
borders.
THE state board of health. cooper
ating with the school of medicine of
the University of Kansas, is prepared
to use her experts in the service of
the state should the disease appear in
epidemic form. But what is most de-
sired is to take such steps as may, in
a measure. prevent the disease from
spreading. Therefore the state board
of health urgently requests that each
county board of health pass and en-
force the following resolutions:
Whereas. it has been shown that
human discharges may contain the
organisms that produce epidemic pol
iomyelitis (infanti1y paralysss) and
Whereas, human fecal matter and
urine may contain the organisms that
produce typhoid fever and other in
testinal diseases, and
Whereas. the outside toilet that is
open to the house-fly furnishes the
necessary link between this dangerous
human filth and the food and drink
that may be polluted by flies, and
thus spread these diseases,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
county board of health. that
all outside toilets shall be, and are
hereby ordered to be, made fIy-proof
Immediately, and that all breeding
places for flies, such as Accommodations
of stable manure and decaying vege-
tation, be scattered upon the fields.
burned or buried.
BE it further resolved. that our
county health officer be and he is
hereby instructed to see that this or
der is enforced, and that all outside
toilets be flyproofed and put in SAN
itary condition on or before August 1.

Doctors Were Called Out ON
Scores of "Cases" Sunday.
JUST LITTLE SUMMER TROUBLE
No Cause for Calls in Majority
of Days Alarms.
No Infantile Disease Yet Re.
ported in This City.

In fear and dread lest their own
babies be seized with infantile paraly-
sis. hundreds of Topeka mothers are
spending sleepless nights. And To-
peka doctors are the victims OF the
gnawing fear that causes anxious
mothers to look in baby's eyes. study
symptoms from a reading of the daily
press dispatches and rush frantfcaily
to telephone and call the doctor.
Following faithful vigils through the
long hours of a hot summer night.
many Topeka mothers have suddenly
been seized with the conviction that
baby has been grasped by the disease
that is just now causing nation-wide
concern. Almost every physician in
Topeka has answered from a half
dozen to a half hundred calls to deter
mine whether infantile paralysis had
really reached out to claim a baby
lie. And always the doctor has re-
turned to his office or his home after
his record dash and waited for the
next call he knew would come.
Power of Suggestion.
Maybe the heat has combined with
the power of suggestion in news
stories and has caused a season of gem
eraI unrest in all homes where baby
has been feverish or coliclxy or fretfui.
In any event baby's diet and surround-
ings are watched by hundreds of in
tensely nervous and anxious Topeka
mothers-mothers who watch the flies
from baby's crib as they read bulletins
from the board of health and sugges-
tions from specialists. Then as they
read, suddenly some action on baby's
part drives home to mother the con
viction that infantile paralysis had
entered the home. Away off in a re-
mote end of the city, perhaps. the
telephone jingles. stops and starts
again. To a tired man on a sleeping
porch runaway milk wagons are pass
ing his house.
Hello. hello--h-e-l-l-o-w-w Yes.
Yes. Yes. This is he. Yes. you have
the right number. What is it ?''
That's the doctor. Most any ordi~

And then that telephone. He holds

U. S, AT THROTTLE
Government to Seize Railroads
if Strike Is Called.
Threat Is Made by Head of De-
partment of Labor.

St. Louis July 17.-Declaring that
the United States government was
better prepared now than ever before
to operate the railroads of the coun-
try, J. ]. Keegan, commissioner of the
department of labor. predicted the
government would take over the roads
should the four great railroad broth
erhoods call a strike of their MEM
bers. Keegan said that once the gcv-
ernment took charge of the roads the
men would &c to work Immediately
He based this assertion on the fact
that the government had long since
recognized the eight-hour day, one
of the bones of contention in the
present controversy.
Would Act in "a Hours.
He would not say that plans had
been formulated to take over the
roads However, he expressed the
opinion that this step could not he
work.
But I cannot conceive that either
the railroads or the brotherhoods will
let a break occur" he said. "A COM
promise seems more than probable.
However. should the break occur and
nearly a half million men leave their
work, paralyzing transportation and
threatening starvation of the nation,
the government would act in "a hours.
1T could do nothing else. Every
railroad in the country would be
seized. and once the roads pass into
the control of the government they
would never again be returned to
their former private owT 'rship."
