PUBLISHERS WHO
 VIOLATE RULES
 TO BE PUNISHED
Secretary of Navy and Post master General Call At
 tention to Censorship.

Postmaster Charles F. Greene has received the following official com munication relating to the conduct of newspapers and furnished to each newspaper office by him:
 The following instructions from the Post Office Department are published for your information:
 According to the provisions of par agraph 1 (f), Section 419, Postal Laws and Regulations, only one copy of each issue of a publication contain ing the advertisement of a person or concern, and of such issues only, may be mailed at the publishers second class pound rates of postage to such advertiser on account of and in proof of the insertion of his advertisement.
 Your attention is also called to the following statement of the Secretary of the Navy, published in the +'Oficial Bulletin" of the Committee on Public Information on July 6, 1918:
 'To the Press in America:
 'The appearance of submarines on the Atlantic coast makes it impera- tive that no mention should be made in any newspapers, either in the ad- Vertising or news columns, of the sailing or departure, or location, or supposed location of any ship in American waters.
 This information conveyed by ad- vertising is as dangerous as in the news columns, and I am making this request to all the newspapers in the country in the assurance that they will cooperate with the government in it's effort to prevent any informa- tion about ships reaching submarines which may be off the American coast.
 "Josephus Daniels,
 Secretary of the Navy"
 In comment on the above the post master general states as follows:
 My attention f2as been called to the fact that the above request of the Secretary of the Navy is being ignor- ed by a number of publishers, and from information received from sev- eral sources I am convinced that the publication of this class of news and advertisements is actually being used to promote the cause of the enemies of the United States in the present war You are, therefore, directed to promptly advise all publishers within the delivery of your office that this department will, after notice of these instructions, regard the publication of such shipping news as giving aid and comfort to the enemy and that such matter is non-mailable under the Asptenage Act"
 All publishers are, therefore, re- euested to comply with the above re- quest of the Secretary of the Navy,

Making Pleasing Scents.

The magnolia has a pleasing per fume, but the odor is initiated to per lection without using the flower at all, because 1t is too large to macerate with success. So the magnolia per fume is furnished by a mixture of orange flower, rose, tuberose and vfo- let essences. which make a fine tex tract of magnolia" Indian lemon grass likewise gives "extract of ver- bena." With the rose as founda- tion and dash of verbena, the per fume of the delicate and fieeting "sweet-brier" is obtained.

Exercise That Rests the Mind.

Perhaps the best way to rest your thought mechanism is to indulge in muscular exercise, by which means you concentrate your anatomical move- ments and indirectly rest your mind. To focus the attention upon muscular movements or upon some phase of phy- sical activity is to relax the muscles which are concerned in the generation of thought and ideas. Relaxation is a better word for some sorts of rest,

records of the faint stars were very incomplete.
 Another thing which is, of course, possible, is that a dark" G.e cold) star bursts into light again, for we know that such bodies exist in space. But what is 1t that can cause this sudden increase in the radiation of light? We must look for some pos sible source for a tremendous in crease in temperature. Two ex- plantations have been brought for ward; both are satisfactory to agcer- tain degree only.
 We know that all stars are in mo- tion through space and that this mo- tion is very rapid. Suppose that in its course a star suddenly runs into d portion of space occupied by a nebula or some sort of attenuated matter. The friction which it encounters wi 1 sharply arrest it's speed, and the lost energy of motion will be changed to heat. It is an explanation similar to that given for the sudden appeac- ance of a meteor in the upper atmos- phere of the earth.
 
 collision theory. In accordance with this theory nova is the result of T collision of two stars as they hurtle through space with. their enormous speeds. We can readily picture to ourselves that the heat engendered by such collision would be sufficient to vaporize the material of both stars and raise it to the highest tempera- tures The present difficulty with this theory is the rapidity with which the new stars light dies away. Also apart to account in this way for even the rare nova phenomena.
 The Planets.
 Mars is the only one of the brighter planets which finds a place on this months map and even he is far down on the western horizon, and will set soon after map time. Uranus is in the constellation Capricornus, but is not an object for naked-eye observa- ton. Venus and Jupiter are morn ing stars. Mercury, however, will give us a chance to observe him this month, for on August he will be in greatest eastern elongation from the Sun. For several days befora and after that date, we shall be able to see him low down on the eastern horizon, near the place where the Sun has set.
 The Fixed Stars. Vega is almost directly overhead at map time, and those who are not already familiar with the con- stellation of the Tyre can fix it ill their memories now. Vega and the two next brightest stars of the group Beta and Gamma Lyrae, make a trio which is unique. Between the latter two lies the famous ring, nebula, an exceedingly interesting object of ob- servation for those who ar efortunate enough to possess a telescope. In the East the Great Square of Pegasus is well above the horizon; it consists of three stars of the constellation Pega- sus and one star borrowed from the l neighboring Andromeda.

Marbles Candidacy for Senate
Has No Alibi Now.
His Sacrifice for M. A. Water
man Proves a Boomerang.
He Didn't Try To Sidetrack
Waterman From Politics.
Now What VIII Fort Scott Edi-
tor Find for LifebOat?

George w. Marbles United States
senatorial alibi was filled with bird
shot today when Myron A. waterman's
friends rather unkindIy made public
letter which Waterman sent to the
Fort Scott editor under date of July
5. Marble declared he entered the
senatorial contest to avenge the politi-
cal injustice to Waterman when Sena-
tor W. H. Thompson was reported to
have opposed Waterman's congress
siona1 candidacy. For some reason
Waterman seems to have failed to en-
thuse over Marbles mission of ven
geance.
When Marble suddenly filed for the
Democrat senatorial nomination, he
said that he entered the race against
Senator Thompson to avenge the IN
justice against Waterman whom
Thompson was declared to have push
ed out of the Second district congress
sional fight. As the next friend and
protector of Waterman Thompson
appointee in the federal farm loan bu-
reau-Marble offered himself as sac
rifice in the senatorial contest. His
statement bitterly took Senator
Thompson to task for directing the
sending of Waterman into other states
and districts at such a time and in
such a manner that Waterman was
unable to file for the congressional
contest.
Stories of the political treason and
treachery of Senator Thompson were
also endorsed by Hubert Lardner,
chairman of the state committee.
Statements sent broacast this month
by Marble and Lardner, are now de-
clared to have been circulated after
receipt of Waterman's letter. In the
letter to Marble, Waterman stated that
his transfers were independent of pol
itics or the activities or interests of
the Bourbons' senator from Kansas
There is an unalterable rule in the
treasury department, under which
Waterman is employed, which provides
that when an employee becomes a can
didate for political office, he Is consid-
cred to have resigned. In view of his
employment and the long established
rule of the federal department, Water
man could not have entered the Sec
ond district congressional contest,
ment of Senator Thompson and his fol-
lowers. In short, under the federal
rules, Watermans candidacy would
have forced his withdrawal from the
service and it is doubtful if the entire
Kansas delegation could have pre-
vented his automatic removal
Waterman merely wrote to Marble
to mention some of these matters in
the most gentle and Christian spirited
manner. He sought to display the
same love of justice that the Fort
| Scott editor displayed for Waterman
or leader in his party, Marble jumped
into the senatorial race to avenge the
crime against Waterman.
Waterman's Letter.
Following is Waterman's letter to
Marble:

past is too near our heels to give us a
feeling of remoteness. We are like all
youth in that we look forward, not
backward.
There are too many living who par
ticipated in our Civil war to remem-
Der its fashions with anything but
a thrill of pain and sadness. and even
for our Colonial wars we have no
especial awe. This is because we are
not touching upon remote and gilt
tering period of which we know moth
ing but what we can CLEAN from ro-
mantle tales and folk lore.
But it is quite noticeable, even
against this array of evidence that we
do not particularly care for the last,
that our dressmakers are going into
a fashion of dressing that was in
dulged in by American women when
they did not care much for the Orient.
We wore bustles in those days, and
the pull-back skirt, which tilted up
ward in the back and wrapped itself
so closely around the ankles that we
could hardly step.
OF course, the modern rendition of

criticism, simply because men, who

they know SO little of the study of
clothes, that they vent their anger
easily upon all seeming discrepancies
in dress with the vehemence of the
ignorant. Let them pass.
Skirt That Tits Up at Back.
Now, the modern rendition of this
skirt :. hich has hustle below the

back across the knees and tilted up
ward in the back, is so different from
its progenitor that it recalls little 10
the average mind. Yet, the designers
took it from that period of dress
which students have considered espe-
cially and peculiarly ungraceful But
there is nothing ungraceful about the
modern rendition. You can see that

that is a one-piece frock of black

the back is slightly held in below
the waistline by satin bow, and as
this panel drops downward toward the

another at the discretion of the bureau.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain BitrO- Phosphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, Vigor
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless prepare
lions and treatments which are continu-
ally being advertised for the purpose of
making thin people fleshy, developin &
arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly
hOllows and angles by the soft curved lines
of health and beauty, there are evidently
thousands of men and women who keenly
feel their excessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need more
phosphate than is contained in modern
foods Physicians claim there is nothing
that will supply this deficiency SO well as
the organic phosphate ,-nown among
druggists as bitro- phosphate, which is in
expensive and is sold by most all drug
gists under a guarantee of satisfaction or
money back. By feeding the nerves
directly and by supplying the body cells
with the necessary phosphoric food ele-
ments, bitro phosphate quickly produces
a welcome transformation in the appear
ance; the increase in weight frequently
being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries with
1t a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro- phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness, 1t
should MT, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

we ought to be at great pains to use
every bit of available wooden yarn
that we can lay hands on next winter.
If you do Red Cross knitting carefully
conserve every little end of the sock
yarn. If it does not match the kind
you are now using you can make
heels or toes out of a different kind
of yarn. 1t is also permissible to
