most important reason for our teeth,
and their proper care, we would say,
first of all, that the teeth are organs
of mastication, and the mouth the
beginning of the digestive tract.
Digestion may be summed up as
a process whereby the food we eat
is converted into nourishing ma
terial which is carried by the blood
to all parts of the body to keep US
alive, therefore mastication, or the
proper chewing of our food, is the
first step in the great process of

have good health, and without good
health life ceases to be worth while.

FARMER SWINDLED
Playing Fake Races Cost Mis-
sourian $4,000.
One of Alleged Confidence Men
Caught by Police.

st. Joe, Mo-, Nov. Boone Fanch-
er, an aged farmer of Holt county,
Missouri. has appealed to the st. Joe
police to assist in experimenting four
men who, he said, swindled him out of
$4,000 last week 4. ]. Glover of ST.
Joe was arrested at Princeton. Mo-
charged with being one of the conf
dence men. No other arrests have
been made.
Fancher says the men obtained an
option on one of his farms in Holt
county and then told him they had a
sure tip on some horse races in the
east. They induced him to draw S.
I0c0 from his bank at Oregon, Mo-, at
two different times, all of which was
sacrificed.
Fancher's young wife was found
dead in the yard at their home at
Savannah, Mo-, two years ago, fol-
lowing a joy ride to st. Joseph and a
Savannah business man was prose-
cuted for her murder, but was acquit-
ted After that the aged widower re-
turned to a farm.

PAY AS YOU co
Topeka Merchants Are Going to
a Cash Basis.
Milkmen and Garage Owners
Join the Procession.

Many Topeka merchants are putting
thelr business on a strictly cash basis,
on account of the constantly increasing
prices of materials and a realization
that their customers must learn to cur
tail expenses.
In addition to the merchants, a
number of leading dairymen of the
city have discontinued selling milk
tickets to regular customers or any
one else, on the monthly settlement
plan, and now sell them only in SIS
lots, for cash.
The leading garages in Topeka have
posted notices in their est lishments
reading:
IAN Repair Work and Repair Parts
Are Cash.
Rich on Surface ONLY.
Garage men today stated that it
would surprise people to know the
number of supposedly wealthy persons
who are months and months in ar
rears in their bills for upkeep of cars
A few months ago, eleven of the
leading coal dealers in Topeka an
nounced thru the advertising columns
of the daily papers that they would
sell no coal excepting on a cash basis.
The situation has become so acute
that e. Montgomery, secretary of the
Topeka Grocers' association, has is
sued warning to the grocers as fol-
lows:
at is up to the credit grocer this
winter to teach his customers to live
within their means.
Too Much Ease.
1.-The coming winter is going to be
the most periIous for the grocers in
history, all as result of the ever-ih-
creasing price of grocery commodities.
The peril also is because the peo-
pie have, to a considerable extent, lost
the art of economizing. For a gen
Grafton we have been living in COM
parative luxury.
ST advise our merchants to tighten UP
on their credits. I advise them to col
lect up their accounts as closely as
possible. I advise them, if they have
customers who are spending too much
money on groceries, to put credit
limit on such customers. for their own
protection and the protection OF tbs

NEW KIND OF CASE
Ella Johnston Charges Former Hus-
band With Child Desertion.

Ella B. Johnston, who started the
officers looking for Robert N. John
ston in Russell county Thursday, does
not charge him with wife desertion,
FOR the simple reason that she was di-
vorced from him two years ago. She
charges him with child desertion and
that is the charge upon which he will
be tried if the officers locate him. She
did not make those points quite clear
to county officials Thursday and a
misunderstanding resulted
The case she has brought is q pecu-
liar one and brand new to this county.
Before it was brought the attorney
general was asked for an opinion.
According to Mrs. Johnston's state
ments she secured a divorce from
johnston two years ago, was given
custody of two minor children and ali
mony amounting to SIS month to
be used in the support of the children.
She states that he paid one months
alimony. then disappeared Now she
charges him with child desertion.
Heretofore it has been held locally. in
such cases, that a warrant could NOT
be issued charging child desertion. Tho
attorney general advised Douglas
Mote, Mrs. Johnstons attorney. that
II could be done and the present case
was started.
While Mrs. Johnston saws Johnston

clean, sweet and fresh
and avoid Illness.

Sanitary science has of late made
rapid strides with results that are of
untold blessing to humanity. The lat
est application of it's untiring research
is the recommendation that it is as
necessary to attend to internal SANTA

Those of us who are accumstomed
to feel dull and heavy when we arise,
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid stom-
ach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a
daisy by opening the sluices of the
system each morning and flushing out
the whole of the internal poisonous
stagnant matter
Everyone, whether ailing. sick or
well, should, each morning before

phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile and
poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire

must end in OBJ to indicate the male

Bible into the Mardia tongue in India,
found it necessary to resort to all
kinds of devices to obtain from the
Mardias the names of different OBJ

STAMPEDE FOR COAL
Consumer Further Handicapped by
Large Orders of Industries.

Washington, Nov. 3.-Fears that the
private consumer is going to pay heav-
lily for his coal this winter were ex-
pressed here today by government
agents investigating the threatened
fuel famine.
A rush of wholesale buying by large
industrial concerns in all sections, in
fear of a shortage, has injected an I'M
expected menace into the situation.
Reports of this raid on the market
poured into the federal trade commits
sion today. Prices were from SO to
100 per cent above normal.
Manufacturing concerns, it was
stated, were not only making large
spot purchases, but are tying up all
the fuel they can on long term con-
tracts.
Coupled with the rush in the mar
ket, the already unprecedented de-
mands the inability of coal distributors
to obtain transportation and other ag-
gravating features, a marked shortage
in labor to operate mines has devel-
Oned.
