FUEL CONFERENCE
Danner and Carey to Meet Citizens
Wednesday Evening.

At an informal meeting of mer-
chants today, discussing the closing
hours given for various stores and par
ticularly the order to close stores Sat
urday night, the request was made for
a conference with Mr.. Danner. the
fuel administrator for Topeka, and
also with Emerson Carey, fuel admin
istrator for Kansas.
The merchants wished it especially
understood that they were not fight
ing any order, but believed in follow
ing the wishes of the government, but
they wanted a conference to talk over
the matter with the fuel administra-
tor to see if certain adjustments could
not be made that would conserve fuel
and not cause unnecessary loss or in
convenience to merchants or their GUS
toners.
Mr.. Banner in person. and Mr.. Carey
over the telephone. agreed to this con-
ference, which has been set for 8
O'Clock Wednesday evening at the
Chamber of Commerce.
At this meeting all merchants, the
atrical people, ministers and citizens
generally are requested to attend.
Mr. Danner said today: Il had re-
quested suggestions from merchants
and others but only three or four took
the interest or trouble to make sug-
gestions to me until after the orders
were issued. 1 am certainly glad to
have this conference"

ON HAND
PrOvident Association Secre.
tary Makes Annual Report.
Disbursements for the Year
1917 Were $9,51S.9S.

The report of Mrs. Myrtle Callahan.
secretary of the Topeka Provident as
ISOLATION, at the meeting of the board
of directors at the Chamber of Com
merce this noon showed that the dis
bursements of the association for the
year 1917 were S9,51S.98; the receipts
for the same period being 10,502.57.
Cash on hand at the first of the year
1917 was S1,027.7S. The cash on hand
Oh January 1, 1918. was s2,011.37, an
increase of nearly $1,000 over 1917.
One feature of the report was the
falling off in the amount of relief
called for by unemployed men. In
1917 the number of appeals from this
class of men was in excess of ninety,
and in 1918 the appeals were only
twenty-five.
Young Men Have Work.
In all previous years the percentage
of young men among the unemployed
appeals has been heavy, but this year
Uncle Sam is furnishing an unusual
amount of employment for men be-
tween 81 and 81 years old, so the calls
have dropped off appreciably.
New directors elected today to the
board OF directors of the Provident
association are: : Mrs. T.. D. Alden,
Boyd Pollom, ]. C. Waters and Waiter
Ashton Smith. These directors were
elected for a term of three years.

TODAY'S AID TO BEAUTY

Hair is by far the most conspicuous
thing about US and is probably the
most easily damaged by bad or care
less treatment. If we are very care
full in hair washing. we will have vir-
tually no hair troubles. An especially
fine shampoo for this weather. one
that brings out all the natural beauty
of the hair; that dissolves and en-
tirely removes all dandruff, excess oil
and dirt; can easily be used at trifling
expense by simply dissolving a tea
spoonful of Canthrox (Which you can
get at any druggist's) in a cup of
hot water. This makes a full cup of
shampoo lquid-enough so it is easy
to apply it to all the hair instead of
just the top of the head. This chem
ically dissolves all impurities and
creates a soothing. cooling lather.
Rinsing leaves the scalp spotlessly
clean. soft and plant, while the hair
takes on the glossy richness of nat
ural color, also a fiuffiness which
makes il seem much heavier than it
is. After Canthrox shampoo, arrang-
ing the hair is pleasure.-Adv.

TOO GENEROUS TO R. R.
Plan to Reimburse Railroads Will Sap
War Funds, Is Warning.

Washington. Jan. 22.-Warning that
the war bond market will be seriously
affected if the railroads are compen-
stated on the three-year average basis,
was given the senate interstate COM
merce committee today by Clifford
Thorne, former chairman of the Iowa
railroad commission, who appeared
for half dozen western shippers Or
CARNATIONS.
If the bill as it stands is passed
17,OOO,OOO.0OO of railroad stocks and
bonds with the government behind
them will come in direct competition
with future war bonds, Thorne de-
clared.
He said the three years compensa-
ton plan guaranteed United States
railroads is proportionately 100000
600 more than the English govern
ment guaranteed its roads when it
took them.
Charges Bad Faith.
IF the roads demand this compen-
sation. l charge them with bad faith ~
he said. Thorne urged that the gov
eminent guarantee interest on debt
and dividends up to five per cent
THE surplus should be divided be-
tween the government and the rail-
roads," said Thorne. He vigorously
assailed the vesting of rate fixing pow
ers with the president.
IF you do that, we might as we'll
abolish all courts and tribunals and
establish an absolute monarchy" he
declared.
1.-The rate fixing power should be
left to the interstate commerce COM

BRING IN ENGINES
Southern Roads To Lend Loco
motives to Middle West.
Big Effort Being Made To Clean
Up Congestion.

A monster effort by southern and
western railroads to relieve the trans
portation congestion and lack of
worked out, it was learned here today.
Southern railroads, under the plan
being perfected, will send to central
western roads hundreds of locomotives
and possibly freight cars.
The step will be taken under ap-
proval of w. G. McAdoo, national rail-
road director, and will be a result of
conditions wherein the loss of the
corn crop is threatened because of
lack of transportation and empty cars
are standing idle because there are
no locomotives to move them.
Kansas to Get Aid.
The idle cars are mostly in the east
ern terminals of the western roads.
Hundreds, however, are scattered
alon~ the lines in ones, twos, threes
and half dozens and dozens. The
""oan" o. locomotives by southern
roads to western roads will also tend
to relieve the coal shortage and expe-
dite movement from the mines, rail-
way officials in Topeka assert
1t is planned that the loan" pro-
vide several hundred locomotives. The
Kansas division of one road alone will
be allotted ten of the southern engines.
A division of another road will get
dozen. Still another Kansas division
will get between fifteen and twenty.
The intended loan of the locomotives
from the southern roads is made pos
sible by the moderate amount of trans
portation needed in the south because
of the season.
