treatment for reducing the weight :?
1 weigh Is pounds more than 1 should
for my height and would like very
much to get rid of it. B. L. B.
Answer. 1t is not necessary to go
some place to take treatment to re-
duce your weight; the reduction of
weight is not a question of place or
sanitarium or yet of treatment. 1t is
fundamentally a question of the prop
er selection of and the reduction in
the. amount of food eaten daily. Of
course, if one has the money to spend,
one can with much more ease and
comfort go to a sanitarium and have
a daily menu all carefully prescribed
and prepared and in due course of
time be separated from their surplus
cash as well as surplus weight. The
real trial will come when you return
to your home and are confronted with
the usual routine and the usual temp
tations of diet and liberty of choice.
You see If you make the change in
diet and habit at home at the start
you will accomplish the same result,
and will not be so liable to relapse
as you will if you go away to re-
duce your weight.
Question. I cannot get or find any
remedy that will cure me. I have
dizziness, etc, etc, etc. Please try
to help me get cured, etc.
MRS. G. J. A.
Answer. 1 am very sorry, but this
column cannot undertake to treat or
prescribe for Individual cases. You
should see your family doctor.

Then You Won't Have To Pay
Tax on Ice Cream.
New Regulations May Change
Soft Drink Habits.
A LAXATIVE COSTS MORE NOW
Pluto, However, Comes at the
Same Old Price.
Chewing Gum by the Yard
Higher to Dealers.

Just think, girls, every time you buy
foot or SO of chewing gum you beat
the retailer out of a little honest prof
it to which he has been entitled here
tofore.
Under the new tax regulations the
manufacturer pays the tax. The gum
costs the retailer more but you get it
at the same old prices cents for
about fifteen inches of chewing gum.
So the popular indoor and outdoor
sport iof munching gum may continue.
A short time ago foreign officer was
in town. With the deepest interest he
watched the swiftly working jaws of
a pretty girl riding on the street car.
A friend said to him. Whats the
chew gum before?'' YES" replied
the soldier, but not by the yard
Eat Ice Cream on Street!
And here is another scheme to beat
the tax. Carry your ice cream out of
the shop to eat it. Sit on the curbing
lean up against a telephone pole or
something. It's a funny thing, If you
sit down and eat ice cream in a drug
store or ice cream parlor, you have to
hands, not in your stomach, and you
get by without paying a tax. You can
buy 10 cents worth of ice cream, have
them put it in a bag and go out on the
cuTDlnS 10 eat IL. buC IL you SIT uOWH
at a table, or stand up at the bar and
put it away you have to pay a tax for
the privilege of having a roof over
your head and the privacy of four
walls around you,
Another peculiar feature of the reg
ulation is that there is a manufactur-
ers' tax on laXatives, mineral waters,
ginger ale and grape juice But you
can sit in the store and drink all the
Pluto water your heart desires and
get by without being stuck for the tax.
But watch your step if you are in
clined to mix drinks. That is if you
mix Pluto water with grape juice.
Then the drink has been compounded
on the premises, and you pay the tax.
You can carry all the Pluto you want
home in bottles and never have to
pay tax. The point is stay off of
mixed drinks.
Tax ON Some Laxauves.
However. if you have a taste for
laxatives and don't believe in Cascar-
| cts, and order Sal-hepatica instead OF
| tax. The same thing is true of Bromo-
Settler. These drinks are compounded
on the premises.
| There is one drug store in towr
where all the local "buddies" should
| take their sweethearts to. buy then
''cokes." You save one cent on two
drinks. Most drug stores interpre
the law to mean that each five cent
| drink, a fractional part of ten cents
should be taxed one cent. but at this
| store they read the law one cent on
each ten cent transa ction. Hence
/ two doves. Nv o "cokes," ten cents plus
one cent-dingle of the cash register
and you walk out free, unless she is
still with you.

IN DANCER ZONE
Relatives Fear for Safety of
TOpekans in Cairo.
Miss BeuIah Chalmers Teacher
in American Mission.
FORECAST.

Reports Of unsettled conditions in
Egypt are causing many anxious hours
for relatives and friends of Miss Beu-
lah Chalmers, 1857 West street. who
is now in Cairo in the capacity of a
Bible teacher in the girls college. OF
the American mission. The last letter
received from her by her mother was
written April and stated that the
school, which had been closed a few
weeks before. had not yet been re-
opened. In a former letter she stated
that, in view of the unsettled condi-
tons there, all the missionaries in the
surrounding country had been brought
into Cairo for safety.
The closing of the school. it was
said. was due to the fact that the ma
jority of the pupils were Egyptian
girls who lived outside the city and
who were experiencing difficulty in
making the trip back and forth be-
cause of the disturbances. Miss Chal-
mers has now been in Egypt about
eighteen months. having left Topeka
October %, 1917.
Second Pilgrimage to East.
This is her second pilgrimage to the
far east. In 1911, just after finishing
Washburn, she went over as a United
Presbyterian missionary, but the eli
mate and work brought on a nervous
collapse and she returned to America
the next year. For two years after re-
covering her health, she taught at the
Kansas City university. where she was
dean of women, but the call of the
missionary's life proved too strong and
she again prepared to sail for Egypt.
The trip was made by way of the
Pacific. Owing to the perils and diff
ficulty of ocean travel at that time, the
voyage across occupied seventy-five
days, during which time the steamer
approached within one-half degree of
the equator.

LAUDS U. S. AID
King Peter, Serbia's Venerable
Ruler, Thanks Americans.
Praises Work Done by the Red
Cross Among His Subjects.
(By the Associated Press,

Athens, sunday, April Fixing
Peter of Serbia, who is living quietly
alone in a little suburban retreat over
looking tho Bay of Pireus, six miles
from here. expressed thru the As
ISOLATED Press today the profound
gratitude of the Serbian nation for the
Christian charity of the American
people so marvelously organized by
the Red Cross"
The venerable monarch, who will be
rs years old in June, spoke with great
feeling of the assistance given by
Americans to the population of Serbia
and to tens of thousar DIS of refugees.
repatriat~ prisoners and wounded
soldiers who since the armistice have
poured into the country over every
road and, mountain pass.
The Smiles which the American
Red Cross has brought to the faces
of my people," he said, ARE the best
expression of gratitude 1 can give the
American nation. for those smiles are
but the reflection of hearts and souls
touched by the kindness and charity
of a greater people"
King Peter, who has been living in
this part of Greece for more than a
year, fact which has been unknown
to the outside world, asked to be eX-
cused from commenting upon the
political situation. He said he was an
old man who has relinquished the
cares of state to younger hands and
was seeking the quietude of rest that
comes at the end of a long public
career. He is no longer participating
actively in the affairs of the Serbian
government, and is content to leave
them to his son, Prince Regent Alex
ander and the cabinet.
The aged rulers right side is para
lyzed and he spends most of the time
in bed, being able to walk only with
the aid of crutches. King Peter is
living in a simple, unpretentious six
room flat. The rental is less than s35
per month and the furniture and
equipment are plain to the point of
modesty. Everything about the place
suggests the utmost simplicity. The
king does not even enjoy the common
convenience of an automobile. When
he is able to go travelling he prefers
to use a motorcycle which is equipped
with a side car. This modest convey
ance, which is of American rnanufac-
ture, is driven by the kings faithful
sergeant and bodyguard who was as
signed to the king from the Serbian
army. Before his illness the king was
familiar sight on the roads in the
neighbOrhood of Athens, where every
body knew him by his motorcycle and
his simple, democratic manner. The
monarch is a great admirer of Presi-
dent Wilson, whose photograph may
be seen in the living room of the
kings aDartment.

WAKE UP PARADES!
Constant Reader Says Topeka Gives
Chilly Reception.
Editor State Journal,

Editor State journal:
Will you kindly tell me thru the
columns of your good paper, why the
people and citizens of this city gave
the engineer heroes of this war such
a chilly reception Wednesday evening
as they trudged YEARLY along Kansas
avenue? What is the matter. are the
people jealous of those grand and
glorious sons? Instead of there being
a volume of mirth and joy on the re-
turn of those brave lads. the whole
had the appearance of a funeral pro-
cession.
Why didn't the city-send Marshan's
band or all the bands we have here to
meet the boys? Wouldn't the city
pay for it, wouldn't you think every
one of them would have been man
enough to grab their drums and horns
and given them a welcome with music
instead of waiting for an invitation to
do so?
Try. won't you please, to awaken
the people of Topeka and see il they
cannot give the remainder of the re-
turning troops welcome worth while.
Tell the people not to be TOO
PROUD" to give them a hearty well
come.

when at sunrise, the villagers on their
way to the harvest fields passed that

were ever a mass of bloom. For love
of her, some of the roots were trans
