WOULD RUN [. & T.
Osborne Expert Has Plan to Bond and
Operate Railroad.

Fifteen thousand dollars is the
amount still needed by the organiza-
ton committee of the L. &, T. railroad
to complete the hundred thousand
necessary to start operation of the
road. The purchase price of the road
as set by Judge Pollock to the citi-
zens is $4,000; and the $4,000 diff
ference is needed to purchase equip
ment and to repair the roadbed and
the bridges on the line. Reports com
ing in from the towns along the line
indicate that there will be no diff
Guilty in raising the last SIS, 900.
Hal w. Neiswanger of Osborne, an
experienced short line railway oper-
ator, has made an offer to the COM
mittee to operate the L. & T. Neis-
wanger's offer is that he will take over
the road and operate it at his own ex-
pense. First, however. the entire
amount of stock sold in connection
with the saving of the road must be
bonded at 5 per cent. By setting aside
100000 of the bonds a sinking fund
would be created that would pay off
the Indebtedness of the road in thirty
years. At the end of this time, ac-
cording to the offer. Neiswanger
would receive so per cent of the stock
of the road as his compensation for
operation.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
full what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali. which Is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil. for this is pure
and entirely greaseless- It's very
cheap, and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all TO pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and a few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. about a teaspoonful is
all that is required. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. creamy lather.
cleanses thoroughly. and rinses out
easily. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and is soft, fresh looking,
bright, fluffy. wavy and easy TO han
die. Besides. it loosens and takes
out every particle of dust, dirt and
dandruff.- Advertisement-

FOR GARDEN ARMY
Governor Capper Wants 4OO,-
900 Children To Work.
Appeal Is Sent Today to Every
School Teacher.

In letters read in all public schools
Of the state today, Governor Capper
urged 100000 Kansas boys and girls
to join the garden and farm army.
The appeal to the school children was
made in a letter sent to every school
teacher in the state. The governor
urged that of the SOS, 600 school chill
dren in Kansas, 100000 volunteer for
some service in garden work or in
helping with some branch of ithe
farm activities.
Every boy and girl in the public
and grade schools of the state was
urged by the governor to grow a gar
den, raise a pig, a flock of chickens,
grow an acre of corn or sorghum,
can fruit or in some manner assist in
filling the ranks of the men called to
the military service of their country.
OF the 200 school children, 1885,
600 are probably too young or physi-
cally unable to join the work. But
the governors appeal is directed to
every able-bodied boy and girl in the
state.

Says Backache is a sign you have
been eating too much
meat.

When you wake up with backache
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been eat
ing too much meat, says well-known
authority. Meat forms uric acid which
overworks the kidneys in their effort
to filter it from the blood and they
become sort of paralyzed and loggy.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog you must relieve them, like you
relieve your bowels; removing all the
body's urinous waste, else you have
backache. sick headache, dizzy spells;
your stomach Sours, tongue is coated,
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, channels Oft
en- get sore. water scalds and you are
obliged to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
Either consult good. reliable ply
stefan at once or get from your phar-
macist about four ounces of Jad Salts:
take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa
ter before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, COM
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize
acids in the urine so it no longer irri-
tates, thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is a life saver for regular
meat eaters 1t is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, effer-
vescent Whitewater drink.-Adv.

MUST STRIP FOR ACTION
Official Warning to U. S. From Chief
of Staff March Today.

Washington, March 2S-''We must
strip for action" was the official
warning of Acting Chief of Staff
E1arch today in the light of pressing
appeals from Britain. France, General
Pershing and elsewhere for more ship
space for troops and army freight.
In a statement explaining an order
cutting down parcel shipments to SOL
diers, March explained that "a most
urgent war necessity required limi-
tatior of such shipments. AT present
they take up $50 tons shipping space
a week. Hereafter parcels will be
sent only on the soldiers request.
This limitation of ship space, an
nounced recently and further ex-
planned today, is in line with March's
policy of getting every possible man
to France in the shortest possible
time. 1t also complies with Lloyd
Georges appeal last night for hurry
ing reinforcements to the beleaguered
west front
This restriction and other econo-
mics are being effected. Hurrying of
national army units across ahead of
the national guard is one of the
means for furnishing quick and able
backing to our allies

SHY
Fuel Shortage Is Germany's
Greatest Economic Grief.
Commander Even Coins To
Make War Munitions.

Washington, March 2S.-Germany' s
desperate gamble on the west front is
actuated, in part, by the grim fact that
her industrial structure, as well as her
food supply, is running down.
Official information in possession Of
this government today proves this. and
indicates that she is making her Of
fensive now in the hope of a victory
before Americas human and economic
power is finally mustered.
The information does not indicate
Germany is going to pieces right away
by any means, and it is recognized she
has new eastern economic reserves.
But the reports do show that Ger
many is:
Running short of coal.
Having serious transportation diff
ficulties.
About out of cotton and has a bad
situation as to clothing.
Lacking in leather, fats and oils.
Forced to Close Industries.
Outstanding among Germany's
trouble is the coal shortage. Many
works have been stopped by lack of
fuel Due chiefly to transportation
difficulties, the shortage is developing
into positive famine, official advices
declare
Re-opening of schools had been
postponed in some sections. In Mann
helm every day is heatless day. Thea
tiers, churches, movies and halls are
forbidden coal.
The shortage is hampering war
work turnout the upper Rhine dis
tricts. In Austria, conditions are even
worse. Reserves of fuel are being ex-
hausted. ConsignmentS are being
confiscated in the south German mar
ket to keep essential war work run
ming. Rheinisch Westphalia, the seat
of many of Germanys biggest war in
dustries, suffers from fuel shortage.
Stop Making Coins.
Lack of certain metals is forcing
drastic action. Banks are ordered not
to reissue nickel coins and all ten and
five pfennig pieces are being called
in to increase the supply of nickel.
Coinage has been stopped. Church
bells have been requisitioned in some
places to be melted for gun castings.
Soldiers going home on leave are
forbidden to ride on fast trains. En-
bargoes and ruthless slasf1ing of the
list of preferred consumers have been
ordered to tighten the burden of the
overtaxed rail system, once the pride
of Germany.
Leather shortage is making diff
cult repairs of shoes and use of GER
tain grades in shoe making is prohib-
tied.
Clothing scarcity has sent out
squads of rag pickers to comb every
alley. Police are ordered to prevent
civilians wearing clothing of military
value.
Restricted distribution of textiles
among the poorer classes is sharply
reduced.

BRAKES ON OPTIMISM
Checking German Rush Doesn't Mean
They Are Turned Back.

London. March 2S.-Undue optim-
ism regarding the immediate checking
of the German rush must be guarded
against.
The first'crisis is past, but the battle
is far from ended.
The character of the next phase de-
ponds upon whether the Germans are
able to replace the exhausted divisions
and bring up the vast material and
supplies needed for a further push
before the allied reserves can be pre-
pared for gigantic counter blow.
