That additional complaints are to be

to the effect that Felix Broker, for

bank
1t was known in Topeka today that
the attorney generals office had sent

asserted that a complaint for Brock

bank trouble would probably be. is
sued within "a hours. Broker is now
under bond in connection with finan-

year ago when more than a half mill

said to have been found in the bank.

The Kansas public utilities commits

at the gas controversy. 1t was appar-

would be given a chance to fix a rate
for distributing companies. Whether
the distributing companies will abide
by the decision is quite something else.
Judge John c. Pollock has indicated
that he will accept jurisdiction in the
gas case The state utilities commits
sion has asked an opportunity to hear
evidence as to expenses of distr. but

Suffered Since She Was Two Years Old-Gains Ten
 Pounds on CINOT.

Mrs. Emma Hale, of Tuscaloosa, Ala, a lady who Is well known throughout the entire country writes a very strong letter about her daugh- ter who is now ten years old, she says:
 Ever since Mildred was two years old she has been bothered with ston- ach trouble. Two three hours after eating, especially the evening meal she would begin to complain of severe pains in the stomach which would increase until she would go in to convulsions. These spells would on five or six times month and last about thirty minutes and she would be unconscious for an hour. Some said she had heart trouble and others said it was vertigo. Her condition kept her down to almost a skelton and 1t was pitiful to see how she suf- fered.
 T took her to Birmingham and many other places for treatment and spent thousands of dollars trying to find relief but with no avail.
 "But all this load of anxiety and worry is lifted. She is now well and a happy little girl and goes to school, and to think that few bottles of CINOT did it. She always complain ed of having to take other medicines put Sh6 seemed to Ike 1lNOI anu since taking six bottles is ten pounds heavier and does not look like the same girl. She eats all the time and can eat anything without hurting her. It sure makes us rejoice to see her so well and stout and enjoying life like other girls. We are not looking for notoriety, but for the sake of suf- fering humanity we are willing to give our unqualified endorsement to CNOT"

SAVINGS
 IN OIL STOCK

New York, May 2S-A French gov erness saved $6,800 during 13 years of steady employment in the United States. Her work was with children. In worldly affairs she was herself a child. Among her delusions was a belief that because Americans had been personally kind to her and had gone to the assistance of her country they were above deceit.
 She was going home this spring to see her mother for the first time in 13 years. She wanted to take suffi- cient money to carry the mother through her remaining years and thought her savings were not enough. Under the circumstances the gov
 erness was an easy mark for a smooth young gentleman who happened along with the opportunity of a life time in the form of stock In an oil company whose price was leaping heavenward even as he talked. He got her S6,S00, every cent of it, in- cluding a s1,000 Liberty bond. She then discovered that her oil stock was
 as dead as a last years tennis ball. Now this young Frenchwoman was more fortunate than most of the ! thousands and thousands of others who have fallen victim to the old tricksters. One of her employers had been a man who is a governor of the
