ed to observe the feast by his own
fireside. If two knights live within
twenty miles of each other. they must
meet and celebrate the banquet to-
gether.
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday
before Easter. The feast in celebra-
ton of the occasion exemplifies the
great doctrine of the fatherhood of
God and the brotherhood of men. The
ceremonies will be under the auspices
of Knights of Rose Croix, No. 1. All
the knights of the valley of Topeka are
invited to join in the ceremonies.
The Banquet Menu.
The obligatory banquet consists of
lamb and Jewish bread, and anything

NOW RETALIATE
Democrats of South See Chance to
Even Up on DRY" Democrats.

Washington, March 26.-Many rep
resentatives here for the special ses-
sion of congress beginning next Mon
day believed today both Democrats
and Republicans of the house may
face serious discord within their re-
spective ranks over the house organ
ization. So-called wet" Democrats
threaten retaliation for passage of pro-
hibition legislation at the last session
and northern Democrats are opposed
to the retention of such a large pro-
portion of southern Democrats at the
heads of important committees. Pro-
gressive Republicans also are known
to be hostile to many regular Re-
publicans who would succeed to COM
mittee chairmanships under the SEN
iority rule, if their party develops Suf-
ficient strength to organize the house.
Many observers thought the disaf-
lection in the ranks of both parties
might cause abolition of the seniority
rule. Democrats will caucus Friday
and Republicans Saturday to consider
organization plans.
The five Independent members also
will meet some time this week.

DOESN'T FEAR u. S.
Prussian War Minister Sees No Need
of Fear From America.

London, March 26-The possibility
of American participation in the war
with the allies was dismissed as
minor matter by General Won Stein,
Prussian minister of war, in an in
terview with the Berlin correspondent
of the Budapest newspaper, A. Zest,
according to a Berlin dispatch by way
of Amsterdam. General Won Stein
said he did not know whether the
American fleet would support the Brit
ish fleet but that there could be no
question of an American continental
army in the near future. He added:
Our military situation on all fronts
is good and justifies our best hopes
1T appears that the enemy is pre-
pairing an offensive but we shall resist
even a stronger attack not only at
the front but also at home. What
may happen then we do not know
but come what may we shall confront
everything imperturbably. Our suf-
ferings are great and our sacrifices
gigantic but it is just in these things
that the greatness of a nation finds its
expression"
In discussing the battle of the
Somme, the minister said that the
Germans had no lack of supplies but
that their guns, as compared with
those of the enemy. were insufficient

BILLIARD TO FRANCE?
Topeka Aviator Will Join Tri- Color
Unless Uncic Sam Needs Him.

Capt. Phil Billiard of Topeka, an
nounces his intention of joining the
French aviation corps, providing the
United States doesn't go to war. He
has been communicating with the
French minister of war and has volun-
teered his services as an aviator. As
yet, Billiard has received no acceptance
of his voluntary offer.
Captain Billiard has been endeavor-
ing to recruit a Kansas aviation corps
for a year. With the assistance of the
adjutant generals office he received
an appropriation of a few thousand
dollars from the recent legislature for
maintaining an aeroplane built at his
own expense. thousand, or more,
dollars is necessary in donations to
upkeep his machine awaiting the re-
cruiting of a corps. its inspection, and
then at the end of that time four ma
chimes will be maintained here by the
government and Topeka would truly
be unit in the military map of the
country.
But Captain Billiard apparently is
not having any success in raising the
necessary thousand, or two. The OPP
portunity for the establishment of an
aviation post in Topeka appears to be
disarI earring in a horizon made dark
on account of the money needed to
establish the station.
For this reason, coupled with his
belief that the interest in aeronautics
in this country at present is negligible
Captain Billiard has offered his SerV-
fathers.
II believe" said Captain Billiard,
that the experience which would be
gained as a member of the French
aviation corps would be an invaluable
aid to the United States in the event
we TO war;

ADVICE FOR WOMEN ONLY
(BY DIR. n, b. COOKl

A)AN- ~. d. AOOh.J
1t has been said by the late DR.. S.
Weir Mitchell, in his book, entitled
Wear and Tear, or Hints for the
OVerworked," that muItitudes of our
young girls are merely pretty to look
at or not that; that their DESTINY is
the shawl and the sofa, neuralgia,
weak backs. and the varied forms of
hysteria,-that domestic demon which
has produced untold discomfort in
many household, and, 1 am almost
ready to say, as much unhappiness as
the husbands dram"
How is it best to maintain the
health of the young girl just growing
into womanhood, or to prepare the
young mother for the advent of a new
member in the household ? In the first
place, girls as a rule do not get enough
fresh air, and should be taught to take
vigorous exercise daily in the outdoor
air. They should take a cold shower
or a tepid bath every day to keep the
pores OF the skin open, SO that their
skin will breathe as well as their
lungs and sleep we'll covered up in
bed with the window open, winter and
summer.
To build up and invigorate their wo-
manly organs, l know of nothing bet
ter than that old tried remedy made
up of roots which the first Americans
used years before our race inha bited
this country, extracted from Lady Slip
per root, Cohosh and Unicorn root;
Golden Seal and Oregon Grape root,
with glyeerine. 1t was first intro
duced in ready-to-use form by DR..
Pierce nearly fifty years ago, and has
since been sold in larger quantities
every year all over the United States.
1t is known as Doctor Pierce's Favor
lite Prescription and can be obtained at
almost all drug stores If the tablets
are not obtainable at the nearest store
you can easily obtain them thru the
mail by sending 800 to the Invalids'
Hotel, Buffalo, n. Y, and you can get
free medical advice as well from a
specialist by addressing Doctor Pierce.
