the solid 'peg-leg," Moreover it is
perfectly hinged at the knee and arti-
culated at the foot. The cost of such
a leg is about 500, but it is guaran-

must fit perfectly, cannot be turned
out like shoes by the million; each one
must be particularly, personally fitted.

making, there is much exact hand

The United States government al
lows its legless and armless veterans,

since European governments will
doubtless carry out a similar policy, 1t
seems unfortunately true that arti-

of busy times for many long years to
come.

in small way.

TRAVIS WANTS A JOB
Who Dodges Roll Call
Would Be Insurance Superintendent.

Frank L. Travis. Allen county's rep
resentative in the house, has an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub-
lican nomination for state superin-
teAdent of insurance in the 1918 pri-
maries. Travis is serving his second
term as a member of the house and
was in the state senate during the ses-
sions of 1909-11.
Few men who have come to the
legislature have been able to win and
maintain a greater record for dodg-
ing roll calls and slipping jokers into
bills than the Allen county member.
Travis has probably found more bust
ness elsewhere when a record was
needed on legislative measure than
any member of either house. When
a doubtful measure came before the
legislature, Travis established a record
for pleasing both sides by bravely
running to cover. On such matters
as the Stone resolution, the bone dry
bill and half dozen other measures
before the 1917 session, Travis has
courageously fought for principle and
the interests of the people by seeking
a committee room until the roll call
was completed.
Travis is a successful insurance man
in lola. He has harbored an ambition
to be state superintendent of linsur-
ance since some eight or ten years ago.
On one or two former occasions Travis
courageously ran for the job by proxy

TRAPPED RAIDER
German Sea Rover DecOyed
and Sunk by British.
Used Freighter for Bait; Hot
Battle Followed.

Buenos Aires, Feb. "a Pernam-
buco dispatch today quotes a Bel
gian consular clerk as declaring that
the British cruisers Glasgow, Anne
thyst and Kent sunk the German raid
er in a forty minute naval engage
ment.
The story is unconfirmed from 9TH
er sources.
According to the Pernambuco re-
port the three British cruisers laid a
clever trap for the raider. Her where
abouts being rumored in a certain To-
cality, off the Brazilian coast, a Brit
iSh freight ship was used as a bait
with which to draw the sea rover on.
The warshipS kept just out of sight of
the bait. which steamed slowly into
the locality where the raider was sup
posed to be. The German sighted the
freighter, ordered her to stop and for
mally took possession.
But by this time the freighter had
wirelessed a coded message and with
in a short time the three powerful
cruisers were within range of the cap
tor. A running engagement ensued.
According to the Belgian clerk the
cruiser Amethyst was greatly dam
aged in the fight, but the raider was
sunk with her entire crew.

BROKE ALL RULES
Canton Physician Still Practic-
ing at Age of s..
Four Meals, Ten Cigars and
Pipe Every Day.

Canton, Kan, Feb. 3.-For seven
ty-two years DR.. Charles Hedinger, a
Canton physician, has been practicing
medicine, and today at the age of 95
regular duties as a practitioner.
BY all the rules of the games of life
the doctor should have died in his
coy bed many years ago, but some
how he has hung on and the break"
that sends men into helplessness and
death in the end is not yet in sight
The years have passed lightly by. His
inquire is erect and he has no COM
plants to make. Only once in his life,
at the time of the Civil war, was he
ill. Then he had typhoid Never be-
fore or after had>he taken medicine
not even his own.
His home is in Canton, but his
practice extends many miles in all di-
rectiops from the town. 1t is difficult
to catch him in his office, because
he fits about the countryside by day
and night attending to his patients
About town he is as spry as anyone
else, and his interest in human affairs
never lags. He has been mayor and
head of the school board
Goettingen, Germany, is his birth
place The last twenty-five years he
has lived in Canton When he was
46 he was married. Five children
and twenty-five grandchildren are liv-
and his decentralization, he
has lost track of the number, but he
says it takes hundreds of dollars at
Christmas time to remember them all.
Abreast of the Times.
Il keep up with the times" he said
I'm not narrow minded. 1 read them
all, and l try to keep my mind abreast
with the best practice of the times. 1
don't know why it is that 1 am so
strong when 1 am so old. 1 guess I'm
just that kind of a man.
Il use glasses to read with, but
can take them off and see two miles.
l eat good and sleep good-and I can
kiss good, too. Every two months 1
order six hundred cigars. Every day
l smoke ten cigars or more and be-
tween times 1 use a pipe. 1 like my
lager beer, but whisky doesn't seem
to do me any good. Four times a day
eat-meat and vegetables, but no
rich food. 1 never go to bed without
a lunch because it makes me restless
if 1 am hungry. Four to six hours
sleep a night does me. When 1 am
tired 1 take plenty of rest and 1 take
exercise, too; all 1 can get"
On his body are the scars of seven
teen wounds. from the Civil war and
from the Indian wars He was a sur
geon on the Federal side in the big
struggle and he remained in the Serv-
ice for the Indian campaigns in the
west that followed, making a total of
thirteen years in the army.
II don't like a fight, but I'll fight
now if anyone starts one with me-" he
