the results speak for themselves and,

BOYS ARE STILL. SHORT
Working Reserve Campaign Lacks
S153 of City's 1888 Quota.

The Junior Chamber OF Commerce is
still short s153 of raising the Topeka
quota of 1888 for the boys working
reserve fund. Already $235 has been
raised by the three teams for the Ju-
Nor Chamber of Commerce in Tope-
ka, and now the boys are planning to
take the campaign into the country
school houses, churches and oranges
Jack Merriam, manager of the cam
paign for the Junior c. of c., indicated
that the boys would put on a num-
Der of amateur shows in the meeting
places in the country districts. It is
possible that the high school orches-
ira and quartet will be drafted into
service.
Young Merriam said this morning
that the campaign would go on until
the full quota has been subscribed.
Most of the money raised so far has
come in in nickels and dimes and
quarters-and it takes a lot of these
to make a total of $38S.

EYE ON DEPOSITS
National Banks May Have
Guarantee Plan Soon.
Congressman Shouse of Kansas
Offers Bill.

Bank depositors with balances of
average patron with a checking ac-
count-may have deposits guaranteed
under act of congress. A bill looking
to government guarantee of bank de-
posts has been offered in congress by
Congressman Jouett Shouse of the
Seventh Kansas district. The measure
would affect all national banks and
national bank patrons In Kansas
more than 500 state banks guarantee
anty act
The question of government guar
antee of national bank deposits has
Somehow, tho, the matter never quite
attracted the serious attention of con-
gress. Now Congressman Shouse,
Democrat, will seek to force the pas
sage of the bill providing for the guar
antee of the funds of patrons. In
many of the states laws have been
enacted providing for the guarantee
of deposits with state banks and trust
companies Kansas was one of the
states to pioneer the bank guaranty
law plan, and the state guaranty fund
now holds several million dollars
worth of securities and is participated
in by a majority of the banks of the
state.
One of the most novel provisions
in the Shouse bill is the restricted
guaranty clause. The guaranty provi-
sion applies only to sums not exceed
ing $1,000 and a man with $4,000 on
deposit would receive federal protec-
ton against bank failure fo- only one
half of the sum.

Kitchens Are To Be Taken on
Marches to Camps.

Camp Doniphan. Okla, Feb. 81
Soldiers to go thru strenuous cam
paign, particularly the kind being
waged now in France, must be physi-
cal1y perfect and accustomed not only
to working out of doors. but to long,
hard hikes and outdoor living. When
the Thirty-fifth division gets there
the men will be ready for any kind of
living or fighting that may come up.
Now that they are t-ained right up
to the minute in the various kinds of
fighting, they are going to be trained
further in living out of doors. Two
camps are to be established in the
Wichita mountains, about twenty-five
miles from Camp Doniphan, one at
Medicine Creek and the other at Pain
Springs These two camps will be
kept filled with men all the time from
now on.
Go Under Full Pack.
When they leave Camp Doniphan
they will go under full pack, carrying
blankets, shelter tents, entrenchlng
tools, mess kits and whatever else
they have. They will hike for two
days to the camps in the mountains
then spend two days in camp working
out tactical problems, and then hike
back Practically week will be con-
sumed on the hikes.
The kitchens will accompany the
troops in wagons. and all the food will
be cooked on the hikes. The men Will
sleep in their pup tents, with the
ground for a mattress. Each pup tent
is large enough to accommodate two
men when lying down, all except their
ears or their feet. Either one end or
the other must be exposed to the ele-
ments. But the life is similar to wha'
they will get overseas, and with plenty
| of training of that kind here they
will be in excellent condition to with

An Inside Bath

Says a glass of hot water with

Physicians the world over recon-

pores do not absorb impurities into
the blood, causing ill health. while
the pores in the ten yards of bowels
do.
Men and women are urged to drink
each morning, before breakfast a
glass of hot water with a teasponful
of limestone phosphate in it, as a

DON'T KEEP BOOSTERS
Every City Family, However. Should
Have a Hen Run.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 27.-The
city or town man who keeps a small
flock of hens not only is saving money
but is helping his country. Every
pound of poultry raised and every egg
laid releases just so much pork and
beef for our armies and allies, ac-
cording to L. w. Burby, poultry hus-
bandryman stationed at the agricul-
tural college by the United States de-
partment of agriculture.
Poultry will not prevent ones rails
ing a garden. Twelve hens confined
in a pen big enough for exercise and
provided with green feed will furnish
a goodly number of eggs for food. A
packing box and a little poultry net
ting are all that is necessary for
building a house and run.
For egg production, a rooster
should not be kept, as he is noisy and
has a large appetite, but has no in
f1uence on the number of eggs pro-
duced.
