Early This Morning Groceries
Ordered for Reserve Supply.
NOT AS HEAVY AS LAST FALL
General Feeling. Is Something
Will Be Done to Avoid Crisis.
Business Men in the East and
Travellers Hurrying Home.

Early this morning Topeka house
wives took an invoice of the pantry
capacity and ordered canned goods
and staples in anticipation of a coun-
try wide railway strike. Grocers all
over the city report an impetus in
telephone orders and unless the public
is assured that the supplies on hand
are sufficient a general run" on the
stores will be the result.
Late in August last summer when it
was evident that a strike would catch
the country unawareS the stores were
unable to take care of the unheralded
demand. That was at the time of the
year when vegetables would soon be
out of the question as far as local
growth was concerned and when the
grocers had not laid in their seasons
goods.
Little Danger of Shortage.
If a strike must come this is a
good time of the year. Goods have
been purchased and delivered for the
entire season and the vegetable grow
little need for the boarding of food
supplies even if a strike is called and
traffic is tied up in the west as well
as the east.
Topeka business men and travelling
representatives now in the east are
hurrying home today With Saturday
set as strike day in the east and with
Tuesday warning in the west, the
westbound trains are crowded. Many
Topekans in California and Florida for
the winter are making every effort to
return to their homes before trains are
tied up permanently or temporarily.
If the local trains are operated on
fair schedules out of Topeka, there is
little fear of a business upheaval
among Topeka wholesale and manu-
featuring institutions.

BURN POLICE RECORDS
Mob Storms Pctrograd Secret Service
Office.-Search German Spies.

London, March 16.-Practically the
entire archives of the Russian secret
police were burned by the revolution
lists according to a Times dispatch
from Petrograd. When the building
in which the notorious third section
had its headquarters was captured
eager crowds sacked the offices, blast
ed open safes, wrecked strong boxes
and rushed into the streets, carrying
masses of documents which were
quickly converted into blazing bon
fires.
Not all the documents, however,
were destroyed. The new government
has obtained possession of lists of spies
and informers who are fast being run
to earth altho the populace is strongly
disposed to wreak summary vengeance
on those who incurred their hate dur
ing the old regime.
The prisoners are safe once they are
under the protection of the soldiers
and are marched thru the streets to
the duma to the district sections
of the provisional government The
strongest anti-German feeling ami
mates the population and all highly
placed personages who are suspected
of German proclivities or who bear
German names or titles are being sys-
tematically hunted down.

They Find 1t Better Than Internal Med.
icines For Group and Cold
Troubles.

In the South everyone uses Vick's
Vap-O-Rub Salve for all forms of cold
troubles. But when it was introduced
in st. Joseph, Mo-, for the first time,
last winter, the local druggists natu-
rally were skeptical. They did not
believe that Group could be relieved
in fifteen minutes just by rubbing
with Vap-ORub, or that colds COM
monty went in one night. So ar
engagements were made to present a
number of ladies' with complimentary
jars of Vap-O-Rub on the condition
that they give it a thorough trial.
Here are the reports from these ladies':
Mrs. c. l. Haden, 2309 S. 18th St,
says-'Last winter l had a dreadful
bad cold on my lungs, with a tight
bad cough. l rubbed Vap-O-Rub on
two nights, and the next morning my
cough was loose and lungs better.
relieved neuralgia with it in one night,
just by rubbing my jaw and putting a
little on the tooth, and ironing it in
with hot iron.'
Mrs. Sam House, 1906 Prospect Ave,
reports-"My little daughter had Dip
iberia last fall, and every little cold
she takes settles in her throat. Dur
ing one of her bad spells last winter
my druggist sent me jar of Vap-O-
Rub l used it four nights on her
throat with such good results that now

GEO. STANSFIELD BACK

The orange and lemon trees of
Florida look like they had gone thru

everglades. Frost has destroyed all
the fruit and vegetables in that state,
he said.
