BUY OIL STOVES!
j. w. Dana Says Gas Supply
VIII Be Short.
Little Chance Conditions Will
Be Improved Soon.

There isn't going to be any supply
of gas for Kansas this winter. any
more than in previous winters. accord
ing to J. w. Dana of Kansas City, at
torney for the distributing companies
in both Kansas Citys. Dana doesn't
think the gas companies ought to try
to bolster up the faith of the general
public by telling that there is going to
be plenty of gas.
IAN adequate supply of gas based
upon the showing made by Receiver
Landon. at Minneapolis, for this win
ter has the same foundation that a
sufficient supply has had for a period
of some nine years. said Dana. IAN
adequate supply of gas for Kansas
means about 10000. 600 feet per day.
The people can count sa fe1y l think on
between five and eight million. We
had around eight million as an aver
age last winter on exactly the same
showing made by Receiver Landon.
Tell your friends to get that oil stove
they were considering a week or two
ago and be on the safe side. There
isn't any chance in the world. in nv
opinion, that we will have even as
much gas as we had the winter of
1861 The Elk City field is the
only thing that may bring some relief
to the empty pipelines and it is safe to
say this supply will not be available
until February"

keep CLOSING ORDER IN FORCE
Little Chance for Schools To
Open Next Week.
Hospital Is Badly in Need Of
More Nurses.

1t becomes evident that there is no
abatement in the influenza epidemic
which threatens Topeka with the
gravest dangers. On the contrary II
would appear that the disease is
spreading rapidly.
Up to IL o'clock today seventy-siX
new cases, all of which were diagnosed
cases reported by attending physicians.
were turned in at the office of the
public health department. Wednesday
100 cases were turned in. One hun
dred and seventy-siX new cases in
one and one-half days is the alarming
report given out today. The totai
number of cases which have been re-
ported since the outbreak of the dis
ease now stands at 709. This morn
ings report is the largest that has been
made up since the outbreak of the
disease.
Two more deaths occurring Wednes-
day night bring the total number or
deaths from influenza up to nineteen.
Mrs. Elsie Day, of ass Freeman, and
Miss Doris Hanson, of 410 Clay street.
are the latest unfortunate victims OF
the disease. Neither of these women
were sick very long. But in the opin-
ion of authorities. their lives might
have been saved had care been given
tn am in time. Influenza works with
great rapid1ty, says Dr. ii. l.. clark,
and it is often the attention given in
the first days of the sickness which
determines whether or not the patient
will live. If the case is neglected until
a good start has been obtained recov-
cry is always doubtful.
Keep Closing Order in Force.
1t is practically a foregone conclu-
sion that the closing order will be in
force all of next week. The city au-
thorities could not lift the order un-
der any circumstances until the state
wide closing order is lifted. However
should conditions demand the contfn-
uation of the closing order in Topeka
even after the state order had been
lifted, it will be continued.

health officer. issued q new closing
order which is as follows:

LEAVES SANTA FE
II. NJ. Bainer VIII Manage Big
Scott County Farms.
He Has Been Agricultural
Agent of Road Eight Years.

H. NJ. Bainer, who has been con-
nected with the Santa Fe lines for
the last eight years as agricultural
and industrial agent has accepted a
position as manager of the Marks
farms located near Scott City, in Scott
county.
The Marks farms cover a territory
Of more than $4,000 acres. A feature
of Bafner's new position will be the
development of the shallow land in
which the larger part of the farms
are located by means of irrigation IA
cilities and improvements which will
be instituted in a large way.
Offices ut Scott City.
Scott City, where Bainer will have
his offices, is about thirty miles from
Garden City. The land in this terri
tory is some of the best in western
Kansas and with improvem added
in the way of irrigation, the land can
be made as good as any in the coun-
try.
Bainer has had years of experience
in agricultural and industrial fields
and is considered an authority ands 2
man of exceptional ability in this line
of work.
During his connection with the
Santa Fe, Bainer had offices at both
Amarillo and Topeka. However. he
has lived in Topeka only for the last
three or four years, at 1859 Western
avenue. He has a son in high school
who will graduate in the spring and
the family will remain here until the
son has completed his high school
course

CAIN TERRITORY
Americans Reach Champig-
neulle, North of st. Jurvin.
East of Meuse, They Also Took
Cote de ChatillOn.

With the American Army North
west of Verdun, Oct. 16.-In it's sue
cessful advance north of the Argonne
forest today, the American First army
reached Champigneulle, one mile
north of st. Juvin. A little further
east toward the Meuse they gained
possession of the Cote de Chatillon
East OF the Meuse the Americans
moved forward in the Boise de La
Grande Montague, the summit of
which they now hold.
After having captured Grand Pre-,
the Americans today advanced their
lines to the eastward and occupied
Moulin-Les-Pas. They surged forward
until they had taken control of Loges
wood, one and a half miles north of
Chevieres
The American advance was every
where desperately contested, especially
during the crossing of the Aire river,
but the Americans pressed on.
A part of todays work consisted in
the consolidation of positions on Hill
1872, just north of st. Juvin. The
American artillery was active all day
and the German guns responded free
ly. Infantry fighting. however. was
limited to the left flank of this sector.
Additional evidence has been received
from prisoners that the Germans are
putting in the best divisions they have
in the effort to check the American
advance

KEEP WINDOWS OPEN
Fresh Air Is Best Influenza Pre-
ventive, DIR. Clark Says.

Keep every window in Topeka
open"
This is the appeal made today by
DIR. H. L. Clark, city health officer, in
an effort to check the spread of in
f1uenza.
Fresh air is one of the best things
to keep a person from catching influ-
enza, or to cure it after it develops.
Pneumonia patients have a better
chance to recover if all windows and
doors of the sick room are kept wide
open, except when the patient is be-
ing bathed
THE health authorities in Massa-
chusetts, where influenza has been
causing nearly a thousand deaths
week for the last month or two," says
Doctor Clark, have found that NOV
ing their influenza pneumonia cases
out OF doors, into the open air and eX-
posing them to the direct rays of the
sun, reduces the mortality in these
pneumonia cases from forty per cent
under the indoor treatment, to thir-
teen per cent. This shows that a
pneumonia patient has three times as
good a chance to get we'll if placed
outdoors in the sun as he has if kept
in a room.- -

LONDON. OCt 1I.-Illle mas Deen
captured by the British.
Did Not Fire Lille.
British Headquarters in Flanders,
Oct. 1.-THE Germans on leaving
Lille, which was captured today by
British forces, did not set fire to the
buildings in the city or cause any ex-
plosions.
The fall of Lille to the allies takes
from the Germans the last of their
great sbastions which for four years
held up the enemy defensive system
from the North sea to Switzerland.
Cambria, Laon, and st. Quentin have
been given UP in the last few weeks
and now Lille completes the list.
One of Fortresses.
Lille, or Lisle, as the name of the
town is oeherwise spelled, is the larg-
est city of France gained by the Ger
mans and one of the great fortresses
guarding the French frontier. The
old forts and citadel, however, were
built SO many years ago that their
worth in modern warfare is doubtful.
The city was taken by the enemy in
his first rush into France and until
within the last four weeks it never had
been threatened greatly by the allies.
The allied advance in Flanders out
flanked Lille on the north.
Before the war, Lille was the CEN
ter of the great manufacturing dis
trict of northern France, and was
known thruout the world for its
manufactures of flax and textiles. II
had population of nearly 100000 and
sent its products to every corner OF
the earth. The famous Lisle thread
was manufactured there. With the
neighboring towns of Tourcoing and
RoubaiX, the city also manufactured
machinery and steel and iron products
of various kinds. Lille also is a great
railway center and in the midst of a
highly developed system OF canals II
is handy to the coal fields of France
and Belgium. Lille was founded early
in the fourteenth century. 1t formerly
was the capital of French Flanders
and now is the capital of the depart
ment of the Nord. Lille is eight miles
west of the Franco-Belgian frontier
and with Tourcoing and Roubaix oc-
cupies a little angle of French ter
ritory bordered on the east and north
by the Belgian Flanders
