When You Feel Tired,
No Appetite, Headache
CBv w. M. GRANTIER, NJ. d.

If YOUR wife tells you that you are
"grouchy' ana out-of-sorts, be thank
full for the suggestion, and set to work
to get your liver busy for it is more
than likely that its inactivity is at the
bottom of your trouble. Don't blame
your liver for not doing its work, You
have undoubtedly been giving 1t too
much to do You may have occasional
headaches, feel tired, no appetite, and
coated tongue, and this condition may
lead up to other things. At such
times you are the easiest prey for
malaria, typhoid, the deadly phthisis,
or the many ills which carry off so
many of our citizens.
My advice is, give up alcohol, tea
and coffee. If you must drink some
thing with your meals let it be cup
of hot water. Begin in the morning
with a pint of hot water with half
lemon squeezed in it, if possible, and
drink it a half hour or less before
breakfast.
Take a few minutes of bending eX-
ercise and breathing in the morning.
Walk in the outdoor air. Occasionally,
say, once a week, take a good laxative,
one that is entirely vegetable. A good
one is that made up of the extract
of May-.pple, vegetable calomel and
jalap, and can be had at every drug
store for it has/been sold for nearly
fifty years as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets.
If you are occasionally troubled
with rheumatic pains or lumbago,
pain in the back, toes or muscles of
the body, this is due to uric acid
stored in the system. The liver and
kidneys do not act properly. For such
person, 1 advise taking Anuric
double strength) three times daily
for a week or two. This Anuric throws
J, Lot.
and if taken occasionally will prevent
or cure rheumatism and govt. There
is no difficulty in obtaining Anuric at
anv drug store.-A dva-tisarnans-

KAN. BANKERS TO AID
Floating Government War Bonds One
of Their War Bits

Kansas City Kan. April 13-Stand
by the president in his war policies.
To aid in the floating of all war
bonds without profit
To o all in their power to increase
the productiveness of the state and
give all financial aid possible to the
farmers to obtain large crops-Pro-
gram adopted by the Kansas state
bankers.
The bankers of Kansas will aid the
farmers in increasing crops to help
in ending the war. The bankers two
hundred of them, returned home from
the Kansas City side last night, each
to follow the suggestion of Governor
Capper that every inch of soil be
utilized.
The governor sent a letter in which
he said that lending money to a farm
er to purchase seed at this time was
IAN act of patriotism" The bankers
applauded the suggestions of the gov
ernOr that nothing was more impor-
tant than a record breaking cop for
Kansas this year
A letter was read from H. NJ. Balm
err. agricultural and industrial agent
of the Santa Fe, in which he urged
that every back yard be planted and
that every banker who owned a sub
urban residence see that there was
as large a garden on his grounds as
would supply the immediate needs of
families. and leave the real farm land
to be used for raising corn. wheat and
potatoes for foreign consumption.
Other conventions of bankers have
talked only of money, but at the ses-
sion that closed yesterday rates of
interest and discounts were seldom
mentioned. Instead the bankers
listened attentively to the discussions
of problems of agriculture.
1T was more like convention of
farmers than one of bankers T. j.
Sweeney. of Lawrence, said. 1T
sounded odd to hear the bankers talk
! ing about how much seed it would
require for an acre of ground and the
cost of seed potatoes, but the real
| problem today is raising foodstuffs,
and the banker must be an expert in
! this problem if he would serve his
! community
The association will meet in Law
renee next April. The following Off
| GERS have been chosen: T. J. Sweeney
Lawrence, president; E. L. Wickizer,
| Quinter, first vice-president; r. J.
| Grover, Arkansas City. secretary; B.
c. Bond. Buffalo. treasurer.

FLOUR UP 20 CTS.
Topeka Prices Follow the Big
Advance i'm Wheat.
Sugar Situation Is Easier Here
Today, Dealers Say.

Following a slight relief this morn
ing in the sugar panic, flour began to
follow the sensational advances in
wheat quotations and a total raise of
20 cents a hundred pounds was an
nounced today. This brings the job
bling price to $3.50 a hundred pounds
and the retail price up to $6.40 a hun
bred.
The relief in sugar was confined to
the fact that jobbers are succeeding
in obtaining slightly increased deliv-
cries. They expect this to continue
with an increase in the size of
amounts obtainable, and by keeping
restrictions on the amounts dealt out
to retailers they expect to gradually
overcome the shortage. Jobbers to-
day continued to refuse to deliver
more than five sacks to each retailer.
The retailers, in turn, are still allow
ing only eleven pounds on each Or
der.
Things grew slightly brighter today
for the consumer in Topeka when the
first fresh vegetables and fruits began
to arrive from the south
Green Beans Here.
William Green & Son, grocers today
received the first shipment here of
Florida beans. The commodity is re-
failing for 20 cents a pound. The
firm is also receiving first shipments
of new potatoes from Florida. They
command a price of ) cents a pound
on the retail market. AS the supply
increases the price is expected to droD.
Fresh Strawberries and many other
garden commodities are being received
in local stores as forerunners of a de-
crease in prices of many table arti-
Giles, especially fresh fruits and vege-
ia bleS
More increases i'll the prices of drugs
registered from time to time since the
United States entered the war added
several extensions to the cost of living
ladder. Turpentine, it was announced
by local drug firm, is increasing al
the rate of a cent a gallon and has
been doing so for the last ten DAYS
The price of castor oil has doubled
since Wilson's message to congress
Linseed oil has already doubled. Be
cause of the fact that it is used in the
making of munitions, glycerin has
been practically withdrawn from the
market by distributors
All Drugs Higher.
In short, all crude drugs have ad-
vanced from % TO 100 per cent in the
| last ten or fifteen days. Jobbers de-
| clare the raise is due to a shortage OF
labor. Employees of drug factories ara
quitting and going after higher wage
IN munit1on factories. Higher prices
are in effect on all medicinal COM
| modities mined or obtained from the
earth because of the labor shortage
| it is said.
| A famine in bottles, it is asserted
has also has its effect on distributing
drugs. Distributors are taking orders
for glassware at greatly increased
prices but are making no deliveries
| Grain alcohol has registered an in
crease of % per cent in the last ter
days, and is selling for 81 and s1.2E
a gallon. Wood alcohol is selling fol-
SLID a gallon, or thereabouts The
| price ranges because of differen,
qualities.
Rubber goods are up 20 to 80 pei
cent The glassware increase is about
| 10 per cent in the last two weeks

FAMILY is TOO BIG
William T. LawIess Says Mother-in-
Law Disrupts Homo.

William T. Lawless filed a petition
for divorce from Marie Lawless in the
district court today alleging too much
mother-in-law. He declares that his
wife insists upon having her mother
make her home with them and that
his wife is under her mothers influ-
ence. He also charges extreme ex-
travagance and an unbearable dispo-
sition.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lawless were married
October "a. 1914, according to the di-
vorce petition. 1t also recites that
there is a child, William Henry, elev-
en- years of age. Mr.. Law1ess states
that there is a prenuptial contract I'M
der which a division of their property
is arranged for in a manner satisfac-
tory to both.
