Why We Should Be Fat.

A liberal allowance of fat is needfu!
for perfecting the shape of the body.
Fat gives form and %roundness to the
body. Fat is needed TO help maintain
and regulate the body heat. Fat peo.
pie do not feel uncomfortable from
the chilling blasts of winter as 90
their less favored lean and lank broth

which the body can draw upon for
nutrition In case of emergency, too.
If one is inclined to grumble about his
weight let him think what it would
lean to him to be deprived of his use
full protective covering Of fat. De-
t%erioration in health usually results
when there is a marked loss of fat
from the body.

LIBERTY LOAN TO SIS
Smaller Denominations Asked by Gen.
eral Committee Soon.

New York, May 19.-The general
liberty loan committee is considering
an appeal to the secretary of the
treasury to issue loan certificates in
denominations of So, $40 and $40, it
was announced today. Louis Stewart.
chairman of the committee said that
small denomination certificates would
be more attractive to department
store patrons and to small investors in
general than depositing an amount on
account making other deposits until
the total would purchase a bond.
Subscriptions to the loan came in
faster and in larger volume yester-
day than on any previous day. The
largest single subscription announced
was that of the National Bank of
Commerce, which is taking 100000
600 for itself, besides a large block
for customers. The Prudential Insur-
ance company doubled it's initial sub
scription of S2.500,0O0 and the West
ern Union Telegraph company and the
Anaconda Copper Mining company
filed subscriptions for So, 500, 600 each.

OIL Under GROUND
Gasoline and Kerosene Should
Be Kept in Buried Tanks.
Hussey Has New Plans to Re-
duce Losses by Fire.

UNDERGROUND gasoline and kerosene
tanks and a practical ban on all fire.
crackers and fireworks are orders
which may soon come from the office
of L. T. Hussey state fire marshal, and
affect hundreds of Kansas merchants.
The orders are to be issued under an
act of the 1917 legislature authorizing
the state marshal to make such regu-
lations and rulings as he deems neces-
sary in protecting property against loss
by fire.
Ordinances similar to the orders to
come from the state fire marshaPs de-
partment have been adopted in num-
Der of towns in the state. Not until
this time, however, has the state faced
a blanket order against exposed kero-
sene cans or the handling or sale Of
firecrackers or fireworks. The Mer-
chants Trade Journal of Topeka, the
official publication of Kansas mer-
chants, is authority for the statement
that action is to be taken by the state
fire marshal.
Losses Are Big.
Records for 1915 showed IS fires
in this state caused by gasoline and
las fires caused by kerosene. Losses
from these fires totaled S14O,19S. OF
might not have been prevented thru
enforcement of the underground tank
order, but in the main Hussey believes
the loss would have been overcome.
Many of the fires. he has declared,
were due to improper methods of stor-
ing and handling gasoline and kero-
sene. Recently the state fire marshal
has solicited suggestions from promi-
nent Kansas merchants relative to
methods of handling explosive fuels.
Orders suchas are now considered
would affect the country town and
rural merchants. In the larger towns
and cities conditions are regulated at
this time by city ordinance. For sew
era1 years the cities and big towns
have held the f1recracker under the
ban and gasoline tanks have been
buried or properly housed, as the ordi-
nance required. Now some of this
regulation and supervision is to go
to the small town merchants.
Fight on Fireworks.
In the fight on the firecracker and
fireworks, the state fire marshal may
provide methods for storing and
handling the explosives. While it is
improbable that a fiat order may be
issued against the noise sticks, the
marshal may provide regulations so
expensive to the merchant that he
will gladly waive any profit to be
made from the handling of crackers
and skyroekets.

on wooden industry show that the av-
erage yield of United States is 30O,-
900. 900 pounds a year. To give each
soldier two suits, an overcoat and two
blankets each year would demand
more than half the total supply, with
out figuring in the home consump-
ton. Imports estimated by the gov
eminent prophesy that nearly 300.-
600, 900 pounds of wool will be import
de during each year of the war, at a
cost of millions of dollars.
Clash in Industry.
A real gloom spreads over the sheep
industry when the price of mutton is
taken into consideration. To raise
sheep for. mutton or for wool, has
truly become a problem to the west
erners. Mutton has nearly doubled in
price during the last few years and
wool growing has been only secondary
in the business. And now in the face
of a skyrocket wool market, the whole
industry must change. To do this
would take more than three years
and in the meantime, the price will
have scared to unbelievable heights,
according to the eastern clothing
cturers.
Another explanation takes this in
creased demand as evident and pre-
diets that WOODEN clothes will increase
in price out of all proportion to other
commodities, of a steadier demand.

TOURISTS TO KANSAS
Good Roads Official Would Advertise
for Them-Hit at Thieves.

Advertising as a means of attract
ing automobile tourists thru Kansas
was advocated by ]. Frank Smith,
president of the Kansas Good Roads
association in a talk before the Topeka
Automobile club at the Chamber of
Commerce. He pointed to the fact
that more than 1.178 miles of hard
surfaced road are now being promoted
in Kansas and pointed to the excellent
advertising feature this would make in
attracting transcontinental auto tour
lists to go thru Kansas.
The Automobile club at its meeting
decided to offer $50 for the apprehen-
sion of each motor car thief who is
convicted. In addition, the club will
use it's influence to see that thieves are
not given paroles.

WOOL SUPPLY is SHORT
Army viii Need Whole COun-
try's Output This Winter.
Even the Richest May Have to
Wear Cotton Suits.

Mems suits are due for a real boost
in price within the next three months,
and women's wooden suit clothes, too,
according to local dealers. Their opin-
ions. they state. are based on quota
lions made by eastern wooden houses
to the big tailoring institutions of the
country. Mems suits will sell for more
than $35 this fall that formerly sold
for less than S25.
The first explanation offered for
this jump in value is the war. With
government demands for enough wool
to clothe 100000 soldiers within the
next few years, and foreign demands
for the same purpose. it is only natur-
al that the present market should do
little sky-rocketing. Not only are
clothes. suits and overcoats included
in these demands but also the large
double army blanket Each suit will
take three and one-half yards of wool
cloth and an overcoat as much more
and each blanket nearly four yards.
making a total of yards of wool
cloth per soldier. With 2.0O0,O 900 men
to clothe, the demand for wool cloth
will reach 22,O0O.0O0 yards or. more
than 100000. 900 ounces of raw wool.

Try This for
Fat Reductions
Take Seven Deep Breaths
Twice Daily and Follow
Other Simple Rules

If your weight is increasing, or if
you are already too stout, you will be
interested in learning that there is a
method of fat reduction, said by many
to be very wonderful and yet not re-
curing severe rules of starvation diet
or strenuous exercises.
One of the essential features of
this easier, saner, safer plan is deep
breathing in the outdoor air. This
helps supply the needed oxygen to the
blood-for purifying the blood and
improving circulation and assimila-
ton. Another part of the treatment
is the taking of a small dose of oil
of korein after each meal mad before
retiring at night; also in following
the simple directions that come with
the box.
1t is a pleasant. simple system of
fat reduction purposed to improve tffe
figure, add to vivacity and general eff
ficiency and to prolong life. OIL of
korein comes in capsules, very easy
and pleasant to taket Get it at the
druggists and begin its use today. Or

will come to you in a plain envelopel

reduce ten to sixty pounds, if you

ment. 1t reduces weight often where
all other remedies fail.-Adv.

In war times. history proves that a
dollar will buy less than in peace
times.
Dollars will become less valuable
in terms of purchasing power and
wool Will be more scarce than ever
and at the same time England and
France will be in the same condition.
There will be no commercial relief
from ~foreign countries unless South

a big boost is inevitable.
Wear Cotton Clothes.
One dealer went SO far as to pre-
dict cotton clothes for even the rich
est Within three years after the gov
eminent lets the clothing contracts

forgotten in civilian life. 1t will be
patriotic duty to allow every ounce of
wool to be used for the soldiers who
will be exposed to the coolest of
weather.
