FREE TYPHOID SHOTS
Nearly Fifty Persons Have Been I'm
munized by DIR. Clark at City Hall.

MANY persons continue to present
themselves at the city health depart
ment to be immunized against typhoid
fever in response to the offer made by
the city and state health departments
a few weeks ago. At present nearly
fifty persons are being immunided or
''vaccinated" against typhoid Most
of these are residents of Topeka. but
there is a considerable number of
Shawnee county residents among
them. Among them are a number of
local dairymen and their families. who
are being made immune to typhoid in
response to letters sent them by Miss
Annetta Nicoll, chief food and milk
inspector, and DIR. H. L. Clark, city
health officer.
1.-THE vaccine or serum we are US
ing in these free immunizations of To-
peka and Shawnee county people is
the same kind or strain employed by
the United States army in immunizing
its soldiers" said Doctor Clark yester-
day. 1.-The immunity against typhoid
obtained by vaccination is not as last
ing as that secured against smallpox
by anti-srpallpox vaccination. but all
recent Investigations show that the
typhoid immunity protects one for at
least two to two and one-half years.
The city. in cooperation with the
state board of health. will continue to
give these anti-typhoid treatments
free of cost

BLIND LEADING BLIND
Two Sightless Men Visitors at Provi-
dent Association Today.

IAN actual case of the ''blind leading
the blind" was witnessed at the Provi-
dent association building, when two
sightless men came wandering into the
office, guiding one another and pick
ing out their way with their canes.
The two men strayed down to To-
peka from Camp Funston, where they
had met one another. and are travel
ing now together, doing team work as
pool hall music makers. Both men.
one of whom is about 81 and the other
in his late twenties, have been blind
from birth, and since they have been
grown, they have been making a liv-
ing playing in pool halls. One plays
the piano and the other the mandolin
many men out of the pool halls, that
the music business for that trade has
had severe jolt. Moreover, these
men cannot stay long in one place
because all the music they know is
learned by ear, and their repertoire is
necessarily not large enough to keep
them playing in one hall for a great
length of time. They have, for that
reason, moved about all over the coun-
try. Their last venture was at Camp
Funston, where they hoped to do well.
But troops were moved about the time
they got themselves established. and
they moved on from there.
In Topeka the men were looked
after by the Provident association for
a few days, while their alleged con-
nections in Wichita were being looked
up. Before a report from that city
was received, however, they had made
the rounds of the local pool halls;
played a few. times, and collected
enough cash to pay their way to their
next stop, which Will probably be

RECORD IS BROKEN
Uncle Joe Cannon Has Served
in House Longest.
One More Term VIII Make II
Equal Any in Congress.

Washington, Aug. 13.-If the voters
of the Eighteenth Illinois district
elect Uncle Joe" Cannon for a twen-
ty-second term in congress next No
vember, he will have equaled rec
ord achieved by only one, other in
poirt of congressional service. Al
served all other. present and former
ice in that body. The late William
Boyd Allison, former representative
and later senator from Iowa, held a
record in congress with forty-four
years service in both houses.
Longest in House Alone.
Mr. Cannon's record is for service in
the house alone. One more term
would complete a service of forty
four years. Were it not for an affair
in 1890, when the Democrats took
control of the house, following pas
another incident of 1912, when the
Progressives split the Republican
vote, Mr.. Cannon's service would have
been for twenty-four terms continu-
GUS fforty-eight years.. AS it is he
began his service in 1873 and has
served since with the exception of the
two terms mentioned.
Allison Equal in Both Houses.
Besides Mr.. Cannon and the late
Senator Allison, Justin Morrill, of YER
mont late representative and sena-
tor, is among the former members
who saw long service in congress. Mr..
Nc rriil served forty-three years con-
tinuously as representative and later
al Il senator.
Mr.. Cannon's first term was in the
forty-third congress. He was first
elected speaker in the fifty-eighth
congress and reelected in the fifty
ninth. sixtieth and sixty-first sessions.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Gassing of
an American light house by German
submarine confirmed expectations of
naval officers here today that the Ger
mans sooner or later would do some
spectacular work on the coast Ne
military advantage can result from
such attacks as those against the
Smith Island light off the North Caro-
lima coast Saturday, but the Germans
evidently hope to terrorize by such
methods. Sinking of fishing ships off
the New England coast is part of this
campaign of frightfulness.
In making their gas attack on the
Smith Island light house which injured
six men. none fatally. the Germans are
said to have used a new form of mus
tard gas. Official reports to the navy
department state that three large oil
spots, each over an acre in extent,
were observed and 1t is believed the
gas was generated from this oil. The
attack lasted nearly an hour.
Washington, Aug. 1a.-Using poi
sored gas. a German submarine at
tackled the coast guard station and
lighthouse on Smith Island, off the
North Carolina coast. Saturday night
the navy department announced. Six
men were overcome by the gas.
. Gas Came From Oil on Water.
The gas was released from oil sprea j
over the surface of the water by the
submarine. the navy department an
nouncement said. Three large areas
of the oil. each larger than an acre
grounded near the island. The gas
which appeared similar to mustard
gas. used in fighting on the western
front, was effective about forty min
utes. None of the men overcome by
the fnmeS died
Destroyer Sank U-Boat?
The navy department also an.
nounced that one submarine had prob
ably been sunk by a destroyer, which
dropped seventeen depth bombs at a
point where the undersea raider sub.

bombs hit their mark.
The announcement. made by the
navy department concerning the gas
attack said:
THE navy department has received
dispatch from the commandant OF

While the reports from the COM

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

: If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaii. This dries the
scalp. makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful Just plain mulsified
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless). is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else You can use for shampooing. as
this can't possibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
will make an abundance of rich,
creamy lather, and cleanses the hair
and scalp thoroughly. The lather
rinses out easily. and removes every
particle of dust. dirt, dandruff and ex-
cessive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly. and it leaves 1t fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
