CRYING FOR HELP.

The kidneys often cry for help. No
other organ in the whole body is more
delicately constructed. No one more
important to health. The kidneys are
the filters of the blood. When they
fail to act the blood becomes foul and
poisonous. There can be no health
where there is poisoned blood. Back
ache is one of the frequent indica,
tions of kidney trouble. 1t is often

Ten Prisoners in Topeka Want
Cream Shirts Instead of Blue.

Members of the I. W. w. who have
been confined for several weeks in the
Shawnee county Jail and who will be
taken to Wichita tomorrow to stand
trial in federal court. complained Wig
orously this morning when numerous
articles of clothing were furnished
them to be worn in making the trip.
The f'wobblies'' objected to the color
of shirts, the weight of shoes and the
color and weight of socks furnished to
them by a local clothing store upon
order of federal officers here. Ac-
cording to Charles Hizon, jailer and
deputy sheriff, the complaints resulted
in some of the clothing being changed.
One of the men, according to jailers,
objected to wearing a blue shirt, pre-
ferring instead a cream colored one.
Another complained vigorously be-
cause his shoes were heavy and mite
too broad across the toe. Others
wanted lighter socks than the wooden
ones furnished.
According to Hixon, the ten I. w
w. who are being held here have
been constant source of grief for
officials ever since they were confined.
They have objected, officials say, to
the kind of food served, and at times
have insisted that TRUSTEES search all
over town for certain brands of malt
ed milk and other things that are
commonly regarded as luxuries on the
Jail menu.
The ten men were are a part of the
l. w. w. agitators rounded up some
time ago in the Kansas oil fields, Of
ficials say. They gave their names as
Albert Barr, Glenn Godfrey, Sam
Forbes. Morris Hecht, Frank Patton,
Robert Poe, Leo Stark, Michael Safer,
John Walbert and Harry McCarl
The clothing furnished the men by
the government today included shoes
shirts. socks. underwear, overalls and
jumpers and other articles, and was
furnished, officials say, under the gov
eminent policy of keeping all prison
erS comfortably dressed

FIRST LINK In ROAD
Stretch From Topeka Initial
FOrt-tO-Fort Highway.
Many Petitions Are Being Cir
culated Near This City.

The first link Of the fort-to-fort
highway, west of Topeka. to start pro-
ceedings for a hard surfaced road. is
an eight-mile stretch northwest from
Topeka to Kiro, known as the upper
Silver Lake road. The petition for
the construction of this new highway
recently has been filed with the coun-
ty clerk of Shawnee county. Only re-
Gently Shawnee county let contracts
for the construction of a concrete
highway on the fort-to-fort project,
extending east from the city to the
county line.
Petitions are now being circulated
for a paved highway south of Topeka
for eleven miles, with a spur of half
mile west to Wakarusa. A new
benefit district is being organized I'M
der the auspices of J. Frank Smith,
general manager of the Kansas Good
Roads association, for extension of
two highways north of Topeka. the
Central avenue road north and east
to connect with the Southwest Trail
at Meriden and an east and west road
thru Elmont to connect with the Capt.
tai highway, which runs straight
| north thru Holton, on a line a mile
west of Topeka. Delegations repre-
senting three roads extending north
from the city met with Mr.. Smith re-
Gently and agreed on the plan.
Altho the building of highways in
Kansas IS 10 OepenQ largely on what
action the present legislature takes
; in regard to new road measures de-
signed to extend state aid to counties,
many counties are working on high
way projects with the intention of be-
ing ready to build them when the
legislature gets it's work done. AL
ready the state is able to distribute rs
per cent federal aid with the posi-
bility that thru legislative enactment
the state will at least duplicate that
amount on county contracts. The
state highway commission is informed
that the following counties are among
the latest to get good roads petitions

Ter, Greenwood. Sumner, Ottawa. Mar

of counties already have petitions for
cross county highways fully signed up.

r. II. P. writes: I am rebuilding
an engine of obsolete model and
the only pistons I can obtain for it
are Is inch shorter than they should
be, from wrist pin to head. Using
these will, of course, reduce the
compression. How much If any will
the power be diminished?
Answer: You do not mention
what the stroke is. The effect upon
compression of this eighth-inch diff
ference will be less in proportion as
the stroke is long and vice versa.
If the stroke is fairly long and the
engine was built sometime ago, when
high compression ratios were in
vogue, these pistons may prove sat
isfactory. If the f1anges at the bot
tom of the cylinders are thick
enough to possess some excess
strength you can perhaps have them
accurately milled off slightly, which
will tend to raise the piston travel
In some engines having fiat piston
heads, plates have been riveted on
them to decrease the compression
space. but this method has some OBJ
iections. Why don't you try these

BLOCK THE TEUTONS
General Wood Says Hun Propaganda
Our Worst Enemy.

Junction City, March Stun prop
uganda is still one of the greatest
menaces with which America has to
ard Wood. In an address to the over
seas convalescents at Fort Riley, the
former Camp Funston commander
pleaded with the members of his audi
ence not to become victims of the in
sidiuus Teuton schemes.
"Germany'S chief aim" the general
declared, sis to arouse jeaIousies and
misunderstanding between the United
States and the allies, and in this way
win, after the war. Her one hope is
to divide the United States from Eng
land, France and italy, and the effect
of her lies is manifesting itself in some
of our larger cities l ask you SOL
diers not to become unconscious car
rierS of these stories. Tell the truth
as you saw it and there will be no dan
ger of Germany spelling the fruits of
our victory"
The, wounded men received great
encoura cement from that portion of
General Woods address devoted to the
government reconstruction program
and plans for free education to COM
pensatory cases. He expressed the
hope that every soldier would take the
governments efforts seriously.
THE government is putting this
thing over honestly" he said. There
is a little delay and mixup now, but
we are promised that all will be ready
soon. The delay is easily explained
when we think of the work connected
with stopping great war machine
and returning quickly to normal pur-
suits.
THE big fight in Europe has been
nobly won. but the greatest fight of
all, the battle for life, now is faced by
the men who have been handicapped
by wounds. To win this fight one
must have character. It will be hard
for some of you, but you will be sur
prised at the results which are being
obtained 1t is not for you to be dis
couraged. even if you must undergo
complete change of occupation. The
| government will educate you for the
new work free and the whole country
| is back of you. Go over the top in
! this thing and I can assure you that
the government will send you back in
the best possible shape. Good luck
to you"

These have to be changed frequently,
