SENATE NOTES
Items of Interest From Upper
House of Legislature.

A number of Kansas senators who
voted against inviting the visiting edi-
tors to the senate chamber have ex-
cuses for their action. One said it
would esta blish a precedent that would
cause trouble when other conventions
the visiting editors could be taken
care of by passes. Senator Malone
probably would call these lame
duck" excuses.
Now that the governor has gotten
behind his trust investigation measure.
Senator Montee is optimistic over it's
prospects of passage. The governors
message relating to combinations and
unlawful restraint of trade and urging
the hasty passage of the Montee bill
has been referred to the judiciary
committee that now has the Montee
bill under consideration.
The determination of the house to
go it alone and refuse to work with
the senate has again been shown.
Senator Anspaugh, chairman of the
fees. salaries and mileage committee,
has been informed that the house COM
mittee will not work with the senate
organization. Wilson of the ways and
means committee was told the same
thing. The impression seems to be
that the house is a little swelled up

to some of its committees.
Senator Carroll. of Alma, wants
Kansas to take over and operate the
fire insurance rating bureau, a private
institution that is now selling its serv-
ices to insurance companies. A bill
providing for this will be introduced.
he says. Carroll is of the opinion that
there will be less trouble over insur-
ance rates if the whole ma tier is han
died by state officials.
There is a good chance that the
hated poll tax will be abolished in
Kansas, it seems. A bill by Senator
Hickey providing for this has been re-
ported and recommended for passage
by the committee on assessments and
taxation. The present poll tax law re-
quires that every male between 81 and
55 years of age pay three dollars a
year except in cities of the first class.
robably one of the most trying COM
mittee chairmanships in the senate is
that held by A. o. Delaney, of Leona.
AS head of the committee on assess
ments and taXations he is compelled
to think and talk in figures almost ex-
clusively. But if there is a member
OF the senate capable of doing this it
is the gentleman who gets his mail at
Leona.

ture of the league. He spoke at a
conference of journalists in answer to
a query based upon speculation by the
press on features of the new society
of nations.
In speaking of the admission of neu-
trails into the league on the same ba-
sis as other nations, Lord Robert said
that it was his conception that there
should be no classificat ton, but that all
sovereign independent states should
have equal rights. In the general dis
cussion which followed this remark
he said it would be a disaster if no
South American nations were i luded
in the orga nization. The question was
raised as to whether if a big indem-
nifty is assessed against Germany she
b. kept out of the league until pay
ment was completed. Lord Robert re-
piled she should not be barred merely
because of her, inability. in case the
indemnities should run over a large
period. In discussing means for en-
forcing the rulings of the league, Lord
Robert said:
IF you are going to try to force
peace by the mechanical perfection of
your machinery. the attempt will be
a failure. You must have behind you
public opinion. Machinery is impor-
tant, but without a favorable atmos

highly important, since through the

CUT THIS OUT
OLD ENGLISH RECIPE FOR CATARRH
CATARRHAL DEAFNESS AND
HEAD NOISES.

If YOU know of some one who is troubled
with Catarrhal Deafness, head noises or
ordinary catarFh cut out this formula and
hand it to them and you may have been
the means of saving some poor sufferer.
perhaps from total deafness. In England
scientists for long time past have recog-
nized that catarrh is n constitutional dis
ease and necessarily requires constitutional
treatment.
Sprays, inhalers and nose douches are
liable to irritate the delicate air passages
and force the disease into the middle
ear which frequently means total deafness.
or else the disease may be driven down the
air passages towards the lungs which is
equally as dangerous. The following form
ula which is used extensively IN the damp
English climate is a constitutional treat
men and should prove especially efficac-
ious to sufferers here who live under more
favorable climate conditions
Parmint Double strength. Take this
and little graduated sugar; stir until
dissolved Take one tablespoonful four
times a day. This will often bring quick
relief from distressing head noises.
Clogged nostrils should open, breathing
become easy and hearing improve as the
Inflammation in the eustachian tubes Is
reduced. Parmint used in this way acts
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system and has a tonic action
that helps to obtain the desired results.
The preparation is easy to make. costs
little and is pleasant to take. Every per-
son who has catarrh or head noises or is
hard of hearing should give this treat

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like plain B'trO- phosphate to
Put on Firm Healthy Flesh and

and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually irg
advertised f,r the purpose of making thin
people fleshy. developing 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
'Chinness 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 we'll as

gists as bitro- phosphate. which is mex

by supplying the body cells with the neces-
sary phosphoric food elements, bitro- phos-
phate quickly produces a welcome trans
formation in the appearance; the increase

This increase in weight also carries
with it a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en-

IN THE OIL SHALES
Wa-Pcka Drilling Has Reached the
Interesting Stage.

The Wa-Peka Oil and Gas company.
Dear Sirs: Complying with your re-
quest for my opinion of your property
at Wakarusa on which I am drilling
well for you. the structure is good
and the formations we have passed
thru are very good and similar to the
formations in Butler county.
We are now in the oil bearing
shales and find them very thick and
with a great amount of the residue
in them, commonly known as farm
ers' OIL" and which oil men like to-
find in these shales, as it is a we'll
known fact that the oil is made in
the shales and leaves this residue after
the oil has drained out and passed
into the underlying sands, which act as
reservoir to hold the oil, and if the
structure of the field is right there is
where you get the oil, and the thicker
your shales are where the residue is
found the larger wells are found.
1 think yours as good as or better
in this well than in any wildcat ven
ture in Kansas, and it will mean a
lot, If you find oil, to Shawnee county
and Topeka and Kansas generally.
Your enterprise in testing this county
should receive the support of every
business man in the county and espe-
cially Topeka.
If the weather keeps good hope to
be able to report good oil well be-
fore very long now, and if there is
anything in formations and structure
it looks to me as if your venture will
meet with success.
Ny men will be pleased to have any
interested persons call at the well and
see how operations are conducted All
are welcome. Yours respectfully,

'Tanlac Is a Blessing" Says
Mrs. Hoyle.
Says She Has Never Found
Its Equal.

IF I could speak with everybody

them to take Tanlac, for 1 have tried
it myself and have never found any
thing to equal it. 1 have suffered
with rheumatism during the past ten
years until 1 thought 1 would go dis
tracted. The pain would extend from
my hips down to my ankles, the mus
cles and leaders felt like they were
drawn. my knees were so stiff 1 could
hardly bend over, and many a night
the pain was so severe that 1 could
hardly keep from crying. My appe-
tite was very poor and my stomach
was SO out of order that what little L
did eat made me miserable. 1 suf-
fered terribly from indigestion and
would bloat up so badly from the gas
on my stomach that 1 could scarcely
breathe, and there was also a dull
aching pain in the pit of my stomach.
My complexion was very bad-salIow
and yellow looking-and 1 just felt
badly all the time.
But Tanlac has been a wonderful
blessing to me and no one could see
the change that has taken place in
me during the past few weeks and
doubt it being a great medicine. All
my rheuma tic pain and stiffness is
gone now, and you may know 1 feel
like new person. My appetite is
splendid, and I an never bothered
with indigestion or gas any more, no
matter what l eat, and my color is
fine. Not only have 1 been relieved
of rheumatism and stomach trouble,
but I have also gained thirty pounds
in weight besides. Now, these are my
reasons for thinking SO well of Tan
lac, and L will gladly tell anyone who
cares to call on me what have found
out by experience about it,
