WHEAT CROP MAY BE INJURED
Agricultural College Expert Sees Dan
ger in Ice and SIeet Which
Covers the State.

Severe winter killing of wheat and
young alfalfa may result from the ice
sheet that covers Kansas if it remains
long on the fields, L. E. Call, professor
of agronOmy in the Kansas Agricu1-
tural College, says Sleet fell recently
on frozen ground in Kansas, and wheat
plants, soil and snow have been frozen
together. Examination of the wheat
plants is being made by the college.
Professor Call advises the farmers
to either disc or roll their wheat and
alfalfa to break the ice and admit air
to the plants. Six years ago similar
conditions killed large acreages of
winter wheat and alfalfa, Professor
Call stated, and a continuance of pres
ent weather conditions may result in
considerable loss.

BEGIN HOT WATER
DRINKING IF YOU
DON'T FEEL RIGHT
Says glass Of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisone

If you wake up with bad taste, bad
breath and tongue is coated; If your
head is dull or aching; if what you eat
sours and forms gas and acid in stom-
ach, or you are bilious, constipated,
nervous, saIloW and can't get feeling
Just right, begin drinking phosphated
hot water. Drink before breakfast, q
glass OF real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will flush the poisons and toxins
from stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els and cleanse, SWeeten and purify
the entire alimentary tract. Do your
inside bathing Immediately upon aris-
ing in the morning to wash out Of the
system all the previous days poison
Gus waste, gases and sour bile before
putting more food into the stomach.
To feel like young folks feel; like
you felt before your blood. nerves and
muscles became loaded with body i'm
purities, get from your druggist or
storekeeper quarter pound Of lime
stone phosphate which is inexpensive
and almost tasteless, except for
sourish tinge which is not unpleasant.
Just as soap and hot water act on
the skin, cleansing, sweetening and
freshening, so hot water and lime
stone phosphate act on the stomach,
liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and
women who are usually constipated,
bilious, headachy or have any stomach
disorder should begin this inside bath
ing before breakfast. They are as
sured they will become real cranks on
the subject shortly.-AdV.

Blouses for the coming spring are
made of all the daintiest wash fabrics
in cotton and silk, and their creators
never before presented such varied
and beautiful assortments. Excellent
as the model waists have been hither-
to, those of today are better. The
American woman is welded to the
blouse: it answers her needs perfect
ly. It is made for utility, but not at
the sacrifice of beauty, and the sheer
cottons and lightweight silks used in
its construction are woven to last and
to Withstand washing. They will even
outwear heavier materials.
Two Of the best Of the new models
are shown here, for the benefit OF
those who wish to make early pur
chases or to make up their own
bIouses in advance OF the season
Each of them embOdies at least one Of
the new style features Of the spring
season.
The blouse at the left is made of
fine white wolfe and cut on the most
popular Of patterns. The back piece
is extended over the shoulder to form
q short yoke at the front, and the plain
surface of the material is relieved by
groups of the narrowest OF fat tucks.
The vogue for narrow landings, and
two colors in one garment, is reoog-

and appear on the points of the collar.
All this work is done. with amazing
cleverness, by machinery, and the
blouse may be bought for a moderate
price, something like four or five dol
lars. When the embroidery and sew
ing is done by hand the blouse will
bring more money in the shops, but
the needlewoman may make it at
home, introducing her own bandwork,
for less than the machine-made gar
ment must bring to be profitable to
the retailer.
At the right a blouse OF white
crepe de chine is shown, in which ma
chine stitching, in black, furnishes a
very elegant and graceful decoration.
This idea was brought out by a mo-
diste of Paris in the earliest costume
showings, and is proving very useful
to makers Of blouses- The blouse is
almost perfectly plain, with high col
lar and deep cuffs It is finished and
stitched with exquisite neatness. and
calculated to delight the eyes OF all
those women who appreciate the ele
gance Of tailOrmade styles.

WOLVES HARRY THE FARMS
Troops from Fort LeaVenworth May
Join in Big Hunt to Drive
Out Pests.

People living in Salt Creek valley
adjoining the timber on Sheridan's
drive north of Fort Leavenworth are
being annoyed of late by timber
wolves. Many of these large wolves
crossed the river on the ice from the
Missouri bluffs since the cold weather
set in and they are hungry and bold.
Since the ground became covered
with frozen sleet rabbits have left the
timber and taken to the corn fields to
get something to eat and now that the
wolves cannot live on them they have
begun killing chickens and small stock
of the valley farmers.
The wolves are becoming so bold
that the farmers living near the edge
of the timber are afraid to send their
children out alone.
There is talk of organizing a big
hunting party in which the soldiers of
Fort Leayenworth will be asked to
join to exterminate the pests.
