The Subscribers Give n Program at
Assembly Today.

High links ruled today in a special
assembly at the high school. A pro-
gram was given by the sub-seniors.
Miss Marie Gibbons and Lyman King
starred in a spontaneous dramatiza-
ton of the story of Cinderella. The
scenery and costumes consisted of
cardboard labels attached to the per-
sons or things representing characters
or scenery of the story. The farce
was unroariously applauded by the
students.
Following this there was a pep

Speeches were made by Curtis Net

Why Tolerate Catarrh?

You have noticed, no doubt, that any
cold aggravates nasal Catarrh, and the
flow of mucous amazes you that such
Objectionable matter could find lodg-
ment in your head. To ignore this
catarrh when the cold subsidies is
wrong because it continues to slowly
injure the delicate Innings of the nasal
passages and clog them up.
To correct catarrh, cleanse the nos
trils frequently with a solution of warm
water and salt, insert vaseline on re-
firing, and take spoonful of SCOTS
Emulsion after meals for one month.
SCOTS acts through the blood to feed
the tissues, and contains soothing
glyCerine to check the Inflammation
and heal the sensitive membranes.

TO TALK 1T OVER
Good Roads Boosters vii
Make Trip to Lawrence
To Discuss Improved Highway
at a Joint Meeting.

Fully seventy-five good roads boost
ers will go to Lawrence Thursday
evening to attend the Topeka-kansas
City rock-concrete-or-br good
roads meeting. This is looked upon
as the initial move in the 1916 good
roads movement in Shawnee county.
A meeting of the Topeka Automo-
bile association was held at the Com
mercial club this noon to talk over the
good roads situation and decide upon
plans for the Lawrence meeting. The
boosters will leave at 5 o'clock in the
afternoon, arrive in Lawrence in time
for supper and return at 13:30 o'clock.
On just one subject did all agree
good road must be built between
Kansas City and Topeka. On which
side of the river to build it, how to
build it and what materials to use III
perplo~ good roads boosters from here
to Kansas City.
w. W. Webb insisted that the To-
peka men go to Lawrence with some
concrete plan in mind to lay before
the Lawrence boosters. Earl Akers,
state treasurer, volunteered to get
plats and estimates on the cost of
roads and take them to Lawrence
with him.
Law Is Explained.
w. p. Montgomery explained the
tecnnicalities of the Hodges good
road law. He told the boosters that
Shawnee county would be obliged to
dig down into it's pockets and extract
enough money to pay for IL miles of
the so miles of road lying between
mere and Kansas City, which, as yet,
has not been made into an A No. l
highway. The greater part of the
burden, however, must fall on Doug
las county, there being about thirty
miles to build there. and the remain
der in johnson county.
1t is possible that the county COM
missioners will take about one-fourth
of the sum needed out of the genera
fund, benefited property owne1s; one
half and the township the other one
fourth. If a rock road is decided
upon it was stated that about $4,000
must be expended for each mile con-
structed- Commissioner Tandy de-
clared that building such a highway
would not be a paying proposition in
the long run and it seemed to be the
opinion of those present that a brick
road would be the better in the Ions
run.
constitutional amendment that
would permit Kansas to receive por-
ton of the big good roads appropria-
ton promised by the government, the
membership campaign now in full
swing and a dozen other matters fac
ing good roads advocates in Kansas
were discussed. Another meeting will
be held Tuesday noon. Although
President Webb is the busiest man in
the Commercial club, probably 1t was
reported that he had obtained more
new members for the automobile as
ISOLATION than any other member, up
to-date.
w. F. Schoch proposed that camp.
ing place for auto tourists possibly
two, be tablished in Topeka duriae

At any reliable druggists get a jar
of resinol ointment and cake of resi-
mol soap. These are not at all expen-
sive. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer of the
resinol ointment, and cover with
light bandage, if necessary, to protect
the clothing. This should be done
twice 4 day. Usually the distressing

SUES The COUNTY
Topeka Firm Seeks to EniOin
Board of Commissioners.
Case Grows Out of the Letting
of Bridge Contracts.

Suit to enjoin the county commits
sioners and Noller and Roark, a con-
tracing firm, from proceeding with
the construction of the Butcher creek
and North Fork creek bridges, two
large county spans. under the con-
tract let by the commissioners to the
construction firm February IA, was
filed today with Charles Bowers. clerk
of the district court. The suit is filed
by the Topeka Bridge & Iron works.
a local construction firm which bid
for the contract on the bridges.
Irregularities alleged on the part of
the commissioners by the plaintiff in
the suit are many. 1t is claimed, for
first cause of action, that the con-
tracts were not let as required by law
Also, the suit raises the question as
to what is legally steel bridge. The
suit alleges the bridges were specified
in the plans and specifications as steel
structures. In turn the county COM
missioners say that the bridges are
concrete and point out that the allega-
ton is really a technical point made
possible under a Kansas statute.
County Engineer Arnold backs up the
commissioners in their contention.
The plans and specifications in the
contract let to the firm call for steel
and reinforced concrete bridges while
the Topeka Bridge & Iron works
claim that a concrete bridge must be
of solid concrete, was the way Arnold
explained it this morning. The con-
struction firm claiming the strCc-
lures are steel, cites that the law spe-
cities that concrete bridges be built
in Kansas provided they can be con-
structed for less than 80 per cent
more than the cost of steel structures,
The plaintiff in the suit also raises
the allegation that the plans and spe-
cifications were not filed with the
county clerk in such manner as to
comply with the law. Mulvane and
Gault and D. r. Hite are attorneys
representing the bridge and iron

ROOT WANTS JOB
Not President, However, but
Secretary of State.
And That With Roosevelt at
the Helm Again.

Washington. Feb. 1S.-Elihu Root
does not want to be a candidate for
the presidency: he wants to be secre-
tary of state again. He wants to be
Roosevelt's secretary of state, a ma
honaliy prominent politician declared
here today on his return from New
York, where he has been pow-wowing
with political leaders.
Furthermore, he said, VIM. Barnes
Is not looking for Root delegates but
for anti Roosevelt delegates. They
will be Root delegates only in case
Root agrees to oppose Roosevelt,
which Barnes thinks Root may do,
when he sees a nice COLLECTION of dele
gates willing 20 wear his coIors, ac-
cording 10 the politician quoted.
The information fits we'll with re-
cent statements of George W. Perkins.
Perkins said he would like to see Root
in Roosevelt's cabinet as secretary of
state and expressed the belief Root
would like it
Root Would BE Good"
How about T. r? He would make
Root his secretary of state after that
Chicago steamroller affair, would
he:" Perkins was asked.
Roosevelt has always though Root
served him well in his administra-
ton" Perkins said. He thought Root
made an excellent secretary of state.
1t was only after he left the cabinet
and became a senator that he became
reactionary, Roosevelt thinks Ii
was the same way with Taft. Roose-
welt thought Taft served tbs
people we'll while he was secre-
