K. U. HAS GROWN
Gain of 1886 in Ten Years
Makes Problem.
Dean Temple Asks Funds to
Meet Condition.

Lawrence, Kan, July 12.-Ffgures
on the growth of the College at the
University of Kansas were submitted
by Dean DIN Temp1in to the board
of administration in connection with
the annual estimate of the college
budget for the coming year. The in
crease of 1875 per cent in the past
ten years presents numerous problems
which are discussed by the dean in his
report to the board.
On account of the increase in en-
rollment, the recommendation is made
that an assistant dean be appointed
so that the individual needs of the
students of the college may receive
ment has been found necessary in
many other institutions where SINH
lar problems to those prevailing at K.
U. have been faced.
The end of the system in which a
single person Is head of a depart
merit is foreshadowed by the report
Much better results have been gained
through the committee system, IN
which the affairs of department are
administered by committee OF the
fe Guilty members in that department..
1t is probable that as vacancies N
the headshipS of departments occur
in the future they will be filled by the
substitution of cha1rmen as proV1ded
by the constitution
In order that desirable candidates
may be induced to apply for vacan-
cies that may occur on the hill, and
to make the salary schedule at the
University of Kansas compare more
favorably with other schools, the ie-
pert suggests new salary scale as
fC lows:
Assistant instructors, up to $500;
Instructors, $1,000 to $1,400; assist
ant professors, $500 to $1,000; asso-
ciate professors, $4,000 to $4,000; pro-
lessor, $4,000 to $4,000.
The need of university commons,
where wholesome food could be served
at a reasonable cost is emphasized py
tbe deans report.

How Thin People
Can Put On Flesh

Thin men and women-that big, hearty,
filling dinner you ate last night. What
became of all the fat-producing, nourish-
ment it contained? You haven't gained
in weight ounce. That food passed
from your body like unburned coal through
an open crate. The material there,
but your food doesn't work and stick, and
the plain truth is you hardly get enough
nourishment from your meals to pay for
the cost of cooking. This is true of thin
folks the world over. Your nutritive
gans, your functions of assimilation, are
probably sadly out of gear and need re-
construction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawduSt diets Cut out everything but
the meals you are eating and eat with
every one of those a single Sargol tablet.
the scales be the judge. Five to eight
good solid pounds Of healthy, stay there"
fat may be the Let result. Sargol aims
to charge weak, stagnant blood with mil
lions of fresh new red blood corpuscles-
to give the blood the carrying power to
deliver every ounce of fat-making material
in your food to every part of your body.
Sargol, too, mixes with your food, to pre-
pare it for the blood in easily assfrIi
lated form. Thin people tell how they
have gained all the way from 10 to %
pounds month while taking Sargol and
say that the new flesh stays put. Sargol
tablets are a careful combination of six of
the best assimilative elements known to
chemistry. They come 40 tablets to a
pensive, and Arnold Drug Co and all
other good druggists in this vicinity sell
them subject to absolute guarantee
of weight increase or money back as
found in every large package.-Advertise

Alkali Makes Soap
Bad For Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. which is very
injurious, as it dries the scalp and
makes the hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely greaseless. It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces
You can get this at any drug store
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in, about a teaspoonfulvis
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich, creamy lather
cIeanses thoroughly, and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy, wavy and easy to han
die. Besides, it loosens and takes out
every particle of dust, dirt and dam

Funston Concentrating Forces
for Brigands' Attack.

San Antonio, Tex, July 12.-When
the Mexican bandits reported march
ing toward the Big Bend country
reach American territory, if they ever
do, they will find the United States
army waiting for them.
General Funston is concentrating
large bodies of cavalry in that district,
particularly in the vicinity of Preside,
Tex. Officers of the southern depart
ment said that not many men could
march to Bouquillas from the direc-
ton of Corralitos, owing to lack of
water, but that about a thousand could
find food and water on the road to
Ojinaga, opposite Preside.
All available national guard cavalry
at Ell Paso and other border sections
are preparing to begin patroling the
Rio Grande. They are handicapped
by lack of horses, but these are being
issued rapidly.
A large bandit column was reported
early today to be marching toward
Bouquillas and Ojinaga. but these
could not be expected to reach the
border for three or four days.

them in wheat and alfalfa stacks.
From Hoisington, where he investi-
gated the stack fires of last week, he
brought home two of the bombs
which will be sent to Lawrence for
phosphorus but to make sure they will
be analysed.
Clever men engineered that DEAL"
said Mr.. Studebaker, yesterday" The
bombs were placed in the stacks at
night when there was no danger of
ignition. By daybreak the men were
miles away and chances of detection
were SLIM
Made of Phosphorus.
The bombs arr made of pure
phosphorus wrapped in a rag. The
rag is wet when placed in the stack.
This prevents the phosphorus from
igniting. Enough of the rag is left
out of the stack so that it will dry.
When the rag dries the phosphorus
burns. The bombs were placed on the
south side of the stacks, the hottest
part of them. A few hours after
sunrise will dry the rag and the stack
will be on fire before the owners
know 1t.
Another type of firebrand is a
wooden rag soaked in linseed oil.

ignite within few hours.
I'VE found that eighteen stacks
had been treated to one of these two
methods" said Mr. Studebaker.
Mine stacks were burned before the
fife. The work was done with system

PRICE OF WHEAT GOING UP.
Reports From Columbus Indicate
Farmers Will Hold Grain.

Columbus, July 12.-Wheat sold on
the local market last week brought
from "a to 80 cents. Most of it went
for SO cents. Now local dealers have
announced that the price had jumped

Considerable wheat was marketed
in Columbus last week and if no rain
comes, much threshing will be done
this week. While no No. 2 wheat has
been marketed here this season, it is
known that some of this grade has
already been threshed and the farm

CAN PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT.
Experiments show Efficiency Fornla-
lin Solution.

Manhattan, Kan, July 12.-That
smut in wheat and oats can be pre-
vented with little expense or trouble
is being shown in farm bureau dem
onstrations in a number of counties
this summer.
P. H. Ross, county agent in Leaven-
worth county, reports that on the farm
of w. w. English in High Prairie
township is found one of the best
demonstrations in control of sinking
smut of wheat that has ever been seen.
Smutty wheat was planted last fall.
Half of it was treated with a formalin
solution. Twenty-Five per cent of the
wheat of the 1916 crop, grown from
untreated seed, is affected by smut,
while the wheat grown from treated
seed shows no trace of it
In another demonstration of the
same kind, 81 per cent of the untreat-
ed wheat was smutted while no smut
was found in wheat from treated seed.
Smut demonstrations for the preven-
ton of smut in oats have been equal
ly effective.
