of the whole and acted favorably on
several measures, including a bill
which would allow the marshal OF
the court of Topeka salary of 81 $40
a year, and give him $1,000 year tor
each deputy. The measure would also
permit the marshall or his deputies to
serve papers outside of Shawnee coun-
ty and would allow expenses for the
work.
Favorable action was also taken on
the house bill which would give hon
orabIy discharged soldiers preference
in making appointments to public OF
fees. Considerable care was taken
by several senators to see to it that
conscientious DIRECTORS were not in
Guided.

city governments be given the power

was also favorably reported
Passed Some in Roll Call.
Before going into a committee of
the whole the senate also passed sew
eraI bills on roll call. One of these

amendment to include the Red Cross
societies was offered. Several men,
bers of the senate objected to the
amendment on grounds that it would
take. on too big IA territory. Senator
Ferreu and others asserted that the
Red Cross workers did not desire such
action and that it would open up the
proposition of taking such action on
scores of other organizations just as
worthy as the state guard.
The concurrent resolution to probe
the governors mansion" and state
house grounds relative to general con-
ditions, was passed by the senate. The

SHUTS OFF BILLS
All New Measures Must Be in
House Next Monday.
Senate Expected To Concur, In
surfing Early Adjournment.

The house today adopted the reso
luton by Campbell of Sedgwick county
providing that all original bills-ex-
cept committee bills and appropriation
measures-must be in the hopper
when the closing hour comes next
Monday. If the senate concurs in the
resolution. the introduction of bills for
the present session will cease Monday
night.
1t is possible that the senate may
amend the resolution and extend the
time for introduction few days.
Usually. tho, the sem is far ahead
of the house. and in former years has
originated the resolution fixing time
for final introduction of bills. For
this reason the senate, which this year
is running smoothly Under thoro
organization. may save all further de-
bate by adopting the resolution as APP
proved by house members
Campbelrs resolutio was presented
: -urday. but was not called up for
consideration until today. 1t was
promptly adopted
Under the action of the house today
it is apparent that the legislature will
adjourn with the Introduction of less
than 1000 bills-the minimum record
for Kansas legislative sessions during
the last ten years.

HAS BROAD FIELD
Workers VIII Preach Practical
Reasons for the Buying.
Guide Book Is Out for the
Sellers To Follow. 49,,

Washington, Feb. IA broader
field for thrift propa ganda this year
than the mere selling of stamps has
been chosen by the National War Saw
ings organ ization. and its, district and
state branches. Thousands of work
ers are instructed. it was announced
today, to preach practical reasons Tor

operation with libraries in encourag-
ing reading Of thrift material. and
with industries to promote saving,
among employees.
Practical thrift, says a guide book
issued for war savings workers, con-
sists in these four practices:
First, wise spending, preceded by
thought to make certain that the pur--
chaser gets his moneys worth in COM
modify, comfort, service, recreation or
Advancement. 1t implies the balance
| ing of all needs present and future,
and of means of meeting those needs,
and then spending in such way as to
meet the most urgent needs.
Second. intelligent saving, which
consists largely of foregoing ill-consid-
cred or foolish present expenditures in
order to be able to secure in the future
either necessities or even more sub
stantial luxuries. Such saving is the
! opposite of miserliness.
Third, safe investment. With war
/ saving stamps an absolutely solid and
attractive investment and also the
most effective mechanism for saving
small sums regularly, stress naturally
will be placed upon investment and
! other government securities.
Fourth, avoidance of waste. which
| is as important to the nation in peace
as in war;
The first step to inculcate these
four principles, says the guide book,
is to encourage people to think be-
fore they spend" 1t adds: The
thoughtful spender gets more for his
| wages and therefore really gets more
less purchaser
Here are some of the notices sug-
gested for thrift promotion:
Debts are the poorest specta cIes

self behind Benjamin Franklin
Intelligent savings looks to future
wise spending and is, therefore, post
poned enjoyment.

WILL THE INFLUENZA RETURN
Public Health Authorities Predict Its
Recurrence.
Guard Against it by Building up the
Blood.
Pepto-Mangan Creates Rich Red
Blood and Increases Strength.

Surgeon General Blue, of the Unit
ed States Public Health Service, In a
recent statement from Washington,
warns the public that the much dred-
ed influenza epidemic will probably
return this falle and winter. All med
ical authorities agree that the weak
bloodless, run down individual is
more likely to contract this (as well
as any other infectious disease) than
is the strong, robust, red blooded
man or woman. In view of these facts
it is wise to use every effort to build
up the blood and thus increase the
bodily resistance to the invasion OF
the germs of the disease. GUIDES Pep
to-Mangan is an absolutely dependa-
BILE red blood builder in all conditions
of lowered vitality not due to serious
disease of the vital organs. 1t i'm
proves the appetite, imparts color to
the cheeks. and creates new hope and
ambition in those who have become
pale, weak, and listless Physicians
recommend GUIDES Pepto-Mangan.
When you order be sure the word
"Gude's" is on the package. Without
"Gude's" it is not Pepto-Mangan.

MUCH FAVORABLE ATTENTION

Truck handled by the Carolina Motor
Company, Of Statesville, N. G.
This aggressive firm put out the

lumber job among the lumbermen o.
this state led the Indiana Truck Cor
poration to design and build the In

Recognizing that the great major
ity of trucks are built for city traf-

Truck and the Farm Truck are both
designed to meet the jolts and jars
