Bees and a Whistle in
Stories for Children

ONN41@O M - AAAANAA - -
IF one must become as a child to enter
l. the Kingdom Of Heaven, what Of
the task before writers who would enter
the heart of the modern child and eapti-
vate imagination to the moulding Of char
acterf
The continuous rain of printed matter
labelled Juvenile" eneased in jackets
without taste or art, makes it look as If
writing for children were easy as rolling
off log. But publishers say that ten
writers fail where one lands book in
print, SO large is the army of those who
would write "books for children"
Alice in BeslaEd, Lillian Elizabeth ROy's
"last born of growing family OF brain
children to quote its author, is an exam
pie of good material, no little fancy and
fair technique, with lack of something
that catches and holds the child mind In
the worlds master fairy tales. Its defect
is largely of the problem play and novel
Story and entertainment are sacrificed to
propaganda. In this instance It is an at
tempt to put over what Maeterlinek has
done in so mastery way for grownups
in The Life Of the Bee.
Alice drinks deep of the nectar of wild
rose, dwindles to the size Of bee, flies
away to their haunts and becomes a meIn-
Der of their fascinating family. In her
half human, half bee disguise, which the
illustrator, Julia Greene, happily depicts,
Alice unearths much interesting bee lore
Ineligible only to a juvenile. highbrowl
Written in simpler English it would make
a nature story that would appeal to the
average child.
From Chicago comes HHldy's Whistle.
Despite its cover slogan, putin Glory

the ''frst book of an unknown author"
Mrs Anne Arehbold Miller may be proad
of live story. Freckle-faced, awkward,
busting Whistle Is the hero. The phil
osophy of Hubby, the Swedish servant
girl, is as homely and persuasive as that
of Mrs. Wigs of the Cabbage Patch, and
fully as quotable.
Love" says Hubby, us just like the
sunshine. 1t never spots no one person
and holds him out and forgets the rest
it helps every one it lights upon" And:
"Ye'n never git no pleasure out of no
squeezed out secrets" she warns Whistle,
whom she Overhears trying to extract a
secret from a playmate. "Why, it's jest

LABOR FOR TANDYI
Unions Favor City Commission
er for Next Mayor.
Entire Ticket Chosen by Labor
Union League.

Delegates from each of the forty
eight unions in Topeka, composing the
Labor Union league, endorsed w. G.
Tandy for mayor, in a meeting held
Sunday afternoon. Tandy received
1913 votes. Herbert J. Corwine, the
ceived SO votes. Thus Corwine is
eliminated from the support of the
unions.
According to the ticket chosen Sum-
day the following men will receive the
labor vote:
w. G. Tandy, for mayor.
Clyde o. Tresner, commissioner of
parks and public property.
T. B. Garrett, street commissioner.
W. H. WATSON, commissioner of
finance.
WILDER A. Stanfield, water commits
sioner.
Tandy never has announced his in
tentions publicly as to what he intend
ed to do in the coming campaign. He
has neither affirmed or denied. How
ever, Tandy appeared before the exec
utive committee of the Labor Union
league Saturday night and endorsed
the platform adopted.
In nominating him for endorsement,
Tandy's friends declared that he was
the best equipped man in Topeka for
the office. They feel that an expert
enced man will be needed during the
next two years.
Tandy is director of the Chamber
of Commerce, and has wide acquain-
lance. He has been regarded as the
balance wheel of the administration
upon which he has served. Altho he
has not stood for all the things de-
manded by labor, they recognize him
as fair.
Jack Mercer, who has been talked
of as a candidate for the position OF
water commissioner, announced that
he would not be a candidate, and
asked that the support be given WILDER
A. Stanfield, the labor candidate for
the position. Stanfield and Mercer
are business partners.
W. H. WATSON was given the unani-
NOUS endorsement of the Labor
league. WATSON announced his can
didacy in the State Journal Saturday
night
The unions pledged their entire sup
port. The election fight will be car
ried to a finish. Every man carrying
a union card will be induced to regis
ter before March 10. They will at
tempt an organized effort to get every
man to go to the polls with the voting
strength of his family to vote the labor
! ticket.

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULD TAKE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like plain Bitro-PhOsphate to
Put on Firm, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, VigOr
and Nerve Force.

Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually f. :;
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 keeDly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinuess 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 well as
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as Ditro-phosphate.- which is mex
pensive and is sold by most all druggists
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly and
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
in weight frequently being astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general Improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of en-
ergy, which nearly always accompany ex-
cessive thinness, soon disappear, dull eyes
become bright. and pale cheeks glow with
the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION-Although bftro-phosphate is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessness and general weakness. 1t
should not. owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties. be used by anyone who
does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

MORE FARM WORK
Profits Increase as Projects Are
Made More Numerous.
Kansas Stations Show the
Farmer How To Work.

Manhattan, Kan, Feb. 17.-Farm
profits increase with the number of
farm projects or activities on the
farm.
Farm profits increase with the in
crease in land until the acreage is suf
ficient to handle the number of pro-
jects that the manager is capable of
organizing. This does not apply to
specialized agriculture, such as truck
farming. !
Farm profits are increased by divid-
ing the projects about equally between
crops and livestock.
These facts are pointed out by
Charles r. Weeks, superintendent of
the Fort Hays Experiment station,
who shows, further, that these mean
Civersification of farming. In Kan
sas, he states, the so.ghums are a
great help in this direction, different
varieties being adapted to different
sections.
Farmer Sure of Feed.
In western central Kansas, Mr..
Weeks shows, any farm can be sure
of feed always by planting a sufficient
acreage of sorghums. During the cold
spell of month or so ago, many
cattle died in western Kansas. but not
on farms where there was a silo or
sufficient sorghum fodder.
"Also, the fact that sorghums re-

nenleO MT. weeks, gives the FARMER
more time to put up his silage and

During recent years a. cash market

grain sorghums, and no farmer now
