BOYS RAN AWAY
When They Returned Parents
Had Left Their Home.
Lads Picked Up Here Trying
To Go to Joplin.

A story of runaway parents was
told to the Topeka police today by
Wesley Harrison, 10, and Arthur Har-
rison, IL, two youths travelling, via
box cars, from Marysville, Kan, to
Joplin. Mo. They were picked up at
the Santa Fe depot by officers.
The youths told the police that they
had tired of going to school at Marys-
Vile and from the stories told in the
corner grocery became convinced that
they could make good money on a
farm. So they Slipped away from
home and went to the country, call
ing at one farmers house after an
other asking for work. Finally, they
say, they found work, shocking corn.
They lasted one day at that job and
received so cents each for their work
We went back to MarysVilie," they
told the police. Our folks had left
We didn't know where they had gone.
So we started for Joplin, where an
uncle, named Tom Overton, lives"
The police turned the lads over to
Miss Eva Corning, juvenile court of
fcer. She placed them in the county
detention home and they will remain
there until their story is investigated
and it is ascertained if a home can be
found for them with their parents or
relatives. The lads had only a few
pennies in their pockets.

To Get Rid of Wrinkles
and Bad Compilations

1t is more important now than during
the period of profuse perspiration, to keep
the pores clean. All cosmetics clog the
pores. In cool weather this interferes
greatly with elimination of waste material,
injuring instead of aiding the complexion.
Ordinary mercolized wax serves all the
purposes of creams, powders and rouges,
giving far better results. 1t actually peels
off an offensive skin, at the same time I'M
clogging the pores. Minute particles of
scarf skin come off day by day, causing
not the least discomfort. Gradually the
healthy, younger skin beneath peeps out
and in less than fortnight you have a
lovelier complexion than you ever dreamed
of acquiring. Mercolized wax, obtainable at
any drug store, is spread on nightly like
cold cream and washed off mornings One
ounce usually suffices.
For removing wrinkles, without stop
ping the pores with pasty stuff. here's Il
never failing formula: One ounce pow
dered saxolite, dissolved in one-half pint
witch hazel. Battle the face in this daily
for awhile every line will venish COM
pletely. Even the first application gives
surprising NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Man Who Sold Tom Adams Bay
Rum Violated Law?
DIR. Crumbine and DIR. Clark
May File Charges.

e. F. Smith, man ger of he Topeka
Barber Supply company, III East
Fifth street, is liable to prosecution
on a charge OF mansla liter, accord
ing to DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, of the state
board of health.
e. F. Smith sold Tom Adams three
bottles of bay rum Thursday, accord
ing to DR.. c. H. Clark, city physician.
Adams drank the bay rum and died a
short time later.
Smith has violated a state law, ac-
cording to Doctor Crumbine, in sell
ing medicine containing wood alcohol.
The state law says that a person or
company shall not sell medicine for
wood alcohol in the state of Kansas.
If death results form the sale of such
medicine, the salesman shall be guilty
of manSlaughter.
The matter of charging Smith with
manslaughter was taken up in a con-
sultation this morning between DR.. C.
H. Clark, city physician; DR.. s. j.
Crumbine, of the state board of
health, and Bob Carver, county at
torney. Crumbine and Clark both
agreed that prosecution should be
started against Smith on the grounds
of violating the state law. Carver,
however, is in doubt as to whether
the law applied to the case.
Sold Three Bottles.
E. H Smith sold Adams three bot
ties of bay rum Thursday, one bottle
about o'clock in the evening, and
two bottles early in the afternoon, it
is asserted. The bay rum, according
to the label contained $50 Columbian
spirits, which is another name for
wood alcohol, according to DR.. Clark.
Adams drank the bay rum and died
at nine o'clock in his room at the
Old Santa F'e House, Fourth and Madi-
son street. His death, DR.. Clark
stated this morning is the third to be
registered on account of wood a1co-
hol poisoning. The other two deaths
were reported this summer. one a
soldier attached to the Ammunition
train, stationed in Topeka, the other,
a barber.
Prosecution of the case will be
pushed as far as it is possible, &C
cording to DR.. Crumbine and DR..
Clark. The sale of medicines contain
ing wood alcohol has gone on long
enough and should be stopped.
No. papers have yet been filed in
the case, but a rigid investigation of
the law and the power of the state to
enforce the law will be held, DR..
Clark declared today.

company with St. Louis and Wichita
capital. The new oil company is ad

principal offices in Independence, was
chartered with a capitalization of one

provisional government relied failed
to support it. The reason is said to
have been that the government could
