STUDENTS RAISE GRAIN
Then Liquor Men Spend Their Time
Making 1t Into Intoxicants.

Lawrence, Kan, May 14.-An army
of one-half of a million men now is
engaged in the liquor business in the
United States and that they may carry
on their business, the University of
Kansas is daily releasing students to
go back to the farm to raise grain,
a part of which would go into brew
ers' watts. About 500 University of
Kansas students already have been re-
leased for this work and to enlist, and
other schools thruout the country are
following this plan.
These facts are being pointed out by
DIN Templin, dean of the college of
liberal arts and sciences of the uni
versity, in the fight to stop the use of
foodstuffs in the manufacture of in
toxicating liquor. There were 49S,906
men engaged in all phases of the
liquor business in this country in
1907 the Brewers Year Book for 1914
says, quoting the United States census
1T is for this army Kansas boys are
sacrificing opportunity for an educa-
tion," said Dean Templin. The
liquor men always have pleaded that
SO many men would be thrown out of
work prohibiting the manufac ture of
liquor would be a terrible hardship.
That plea is not true today. There. is
work for every brewery or distillery
helper. Let them go to the farms, the
factory, or the army. There's a big
need for them in legitimate business
If there were 49S,906 men in the
liquor business in 1909, as the liquor
men say there were, there must be
more than 100000 now"
Dean Templin has sent a letter to
each member of congress urging that
the proposal to tax liquor almost
double for war purposes is merely a
ruse to guarantee existence to LIQUOR.
Every president and dean of college
or university in the United States is
being urged to join this fight against
liquor.

DELIVERING EXPLAINS 1T
CONGRESSMAN Tells Why Selective Draft
Is Best Army Plan.

CLAW Center, Kan, May 1.-THE
following is what Congressman Hell
yering has to say regarding the select
i've CONSUMPTION law in a letter to one
of his constituents:
straight volunteering would mean
that we would have an army out or
balance. Men would be in the army
who would be able to do better service
for the army if they were in field or
factory and men would be in field and
factory who are useless there and
could well be spared in the army. A
selective draft means the scientific use
of our available man power resources
and those who oppose it would evil
IDENTIFY prefer to see all of the patriots
in the army while the men of wealth,
the sons of rich fathers and the slack
ers of all kinds could stay back and
cheer George while he is doing it and
they are exempt.
1.-The first judgment of the country
was against any kind of draft, but the
people have stopped and given thought
to the matter and where they have
done that the idea of universal service
"a service where all will do what they
can and in the way in which they can
best serve-appeals."

NO MEN IN THE DRAFT
Cimarron and Gray County Have Al
ready Furnished Quota of Men.

Cimarron, Kan, May 14.-Cimarron
and Gray county will not be called
upon to furnish men for the universal
service army as now passed by con-
gress, in the consumption bill, accord
ing to a letter received today from
Representative Dan Anthony to c. c..
Isely, secretary of the Gray county de-
Tense board. Cimarron and the sur
rounding country have already sent
more than their quota as called for in
the first draft, and will therefore be
exempted.
Representative Anthony writes:
1.-The conferees on the army bill have
agreed on provision which will give
every state and it's local subdivisions
proper credit for the proportionate
number of men it furnishes for enlist
ment. Gray county will undoubtedly
receive credit for these men in figur-
ing out its pro rata to be furnished I'M
der the selective draft
Forty-Seven men from Gray county
have joined either the army or navy
since President Wilson's call for volun-
teers.

PUT UP RHUBARB NOW
Kansas Defense Council Urges Can
ming of Plant for Winter.

Rhubarb for winter use should be
canned now, according to bulletin
issued by the Kansas Defense Coun-
ellis committee on gardening and can
ming. The stalks produced in early
spring and summer are the most de-
sirable for the purpose as they are
tender.
Fresh, medium sized stalks should
be used" says the bulletin.
They should be thoroly washed
and cut into small sized pieces that
will pack closely in the jars Two
inches is a convenient length. Some
receipts call for the removal of the
skin but that is not necessary
IA method in general use for can
ming this vegetable is to place the
pieces in boiling water for from one to
two minutes, then to plunge them into
cold water and pack them tightly in
glass jars. Tin cans must never be
used for rhubarb. After the pieces
are packed in the jars hot water or
hot sugar syrup of the thickness de-
sired should be added to within one
half inch of the tops of the containers
The lids are then put in place but not
frightened. Those of the screw type
should be turned as much IS can cas-
lily be done with the thumb and little
finger. The jars are then ready for
sterilization.
IF a hot water hath is used, the
jars should be placed in boiling water
IOI 10 minutes WIFI Sledi.l pressure
outfits, five pounds pressure for five
minutes is sufficient AS soon as the
sterilization process is completed the
lids should be frightened and the jars
should gradually be cooled by plac-
ing them in tepid water followed by
cold water. Care should be taken not
to reduce the temperature too rap
idly, as this may result in cracking the
glass
Another method of storing rhubarb
is to pack the pieces in sterilized Jars
without cooking. The jars are then
filled full of cold water and allowed to
stand 10 minutes. The water is pour
ed off and the jars again cilled with
cold water and sealed. When requir-
ed for use rhubarb prepared in this
manner may be treated in the same
way as the fresh article

BIG LIQUOR POURING"
While Thirsty Crowd Looked on WITCH.
tia Police Murdered j. BarIeycorn.

Wichita, Kan, May 14.-While L
crowd of thirsty bone dry Kansans
looked on, two police officers, aided
by city Jail prisoners demolished and
destroyed two huge vans of heer, whis-
ky, and other intoxicating liquor, con-
fiscated by the Wichita police in raids
during the last few months. At the
Arkansas river near Maple street a
small amber colored lake formed, and
tiny streams dubbed and gurgled as
they trickled down the banks into the
river.
Beer kegs, cases, refrigerators, tubs,
and various devices used for conceal
ing the liquor, were piled high and
burned. The liquors alone represent
ed an expenditure of more than IS, 00e
and several of the spectators declared
that they would gladly pay three times
this much for the privilege of harbor-
ing the alleged demons for a few
weeks

CREAM PITHY RADISHES
Much Waste May Be Avoided Now by
New Methods.

Lawrence, Kansas, May 14.-In
working out new ways of avoiding

PERFECT HEALTH
HOW GAINED?
(By DIR. L. w Bowers.)

The late S. Weir Mitchell NJ. D., in
his book entitled Wear and Tear
has we'll said, ITO insure perfect
don or muscle should take from the
blood certain materials and return to
it certain others. . o.. This process in
perfect health is a system of mutual
assurance, and is probably essential to
condition of entire vigor of both
mind and body"
Man ir a millionaire many times
over in the possession of blood cells.
Woman is not quite so rich, for scien-
fists have proved that the normal
number of red blood cells in adult
men is five million: in women four
millimeter.
The normal cell is not absolutely
round in health but in disease be-
comes extremely irregular in shape.
Every one can be in perfect health and
possess the millions Of rich red blood
corpuscles if he only knows how to
go about it. D.. Pierce, of the Surgi-
cal Institute, Buffalo, N. Y, advises
every man and woman to purify the
blood by observing natures laws. In
the first place, If your digestion is
faulty, and the food you eat is not
properly assimilated and taken up by
the blood, you need a tonic and diges-
tive corrector. something that will in
crease the red blood corpuscles; he
believes in going about this in natures
own way. Years ago. in his active
practice, DIR. Pierce found that an
alternative extract of certain herbs and
roots put up without alcohol or in
tablet form. would put the liver, lungs
and heart into more complete action.
This medicine he called DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. BY pro-
noting assimilation ii nourishes the
blood. and instead of the i1I-shaped
corpuscles, the persons blood takes on
a rich red color and the corpuscles
are more nearly round.-Adyertise-

CARTOONIsTS GOOD MIRRORS.

Lawrence, Kan, May 1.-THE car
toon is result of necessity" said Will
liam S. Kicking. professor of drawing
and painting in the University of Kan
sas, in a talk on war cartoons before
the woman's forum of the University
In France, he said, where the war
struck most terribly, the cartoons por-
tray the pathos and awfulness of the
war. But in Germany the cartoons
show contempt for other nations,
while in England, where the war was
not taken in complete seriousness for
some time, the cartoons express ridi-
Guile. The United States has no war
cartoon that reflects the nations
thought, as have the other belligerents.

Then, too, Improvements in the
lighting system in the park has been
proposed. The groves around the east
part of the park will be rewired and
a better lighting system installed The
toilets in the park, too, will have bet

Improvements in the park will cost
nearly $2.5O0-$2, for the lake and
$500 or. $500 for the lighting improve

IN FIGHT FOR PAPERS
Attorneys in Castor b. Means Case
Go to Federal Court Today.

Concord, N. c., Sept. 26.-The fight
for papers seized by New York de-
tectives in the apartments of Castor
B. Means, alleged murderer of Mrs.
Maude A. King, was carried to the
federal court today. Attorney P. C.
McDuffie for Mrs Kings mother,
went to Greensboro to file with Fed
era1 Judge Boyd, his answer to
Means action before Superior Judge
Webb for a restraining order to re
cover the papers.
These documents are believed to
throw a strong light on the plots
whereby Mrs. Kings vast fortune was
squandered by those posing as her
friends. Means wants to recover them
on the ground that they are neces-
sary in an accounting of the King
estate. Detective Jones of New York
has made an affidavit, to be filed with
Federal Judge Boyd, declaring there
is nothing in the documents that could
possibly be of assistance in making
such an accounting.
McDuffie will also push proceedings
before Judge Boyd for recovering of
jewels, automobiles and considera BILE
cash which Means is said to be holding
and which is claimed by Mrs. Kings
mother.
Assistant District Attorney Dooling
of New York reiterated this afternoon
that further arrests were being consid-
