HE INDORSES 1T
Prominent Fire Insurance Man
Praises Tanlac.
Did for Him What Other Medi.
cines Failed to Do.

"You may put me down as another
Bloomington man VINO VIII always
have a good word for Tanlac, for the
medicine has relieved me entirely OF
a case of stomach trouble and kidney
complaint from which l had suffered
for years" said r. l. johnson, the
well known fire insurance man, living
at 107 North Center street, Blooming
ton, Ill, while discussing the Premier
Preparation recently.
Mr.. johnson is not only popular
figure in business circles. but is also
a well-known citizen and prominent
in social affairs.
Il have been bothered more or less
for the past seven or eight years with
my stomach and kidneys" continued
Mr.. johnson, and during this time
had to be very careful about my eat
ing. If l happened to be some place
where 1 could not get certain kinds of
food, best suited to my stomach, and
ventured to eat something else
would have a bad case of cramps and
indigestion that would knock me out
for several days so that 1 could not
attend to business and, for this rea-
son, had to decline invitations to big
dinners and banquets. I was also in
very highly nervous condition and
days planning of business would so
upset me that I could not sleep at
night. In fact. I had gotten so thin
and rundown and so short of strength
and energy that I couldn't stand a
good days work. The small of my
back panied me a great deal and my
kidneys were a constant source of
worry to me. I would twist and
sQuirm about in my chair trying to
find some way to sit so that the pain
in my back would ease up. And at
would incrose, making it almost i'm
possible for me to get a good nights
rest. I would get up mornings all
tired out. with a horrible taste in my
mouth, and feeling unfit for anything
81 had taken all sorts of medicines.
but nothing help me, and my condi-
ton had reached the alarming stage
1 finally got Tanlac, as it was so highly
endorsed. and 1 can say that this
medicine has done for me in Just a
few weeks time what I have been
| trying for years to get other medicines
| to do. 1 certainly felt mighty well
pleased when. after taking Tanlac a
! few days. I began to develop a regu-
| lar harvest hand appetite, and still
/ better pleased when I found / could
eat what I wanted without the slight
est discomfort afterwards have
| taken five bottles of Tanlac now and
1 don't believe anyone has a better
4 digestion or gets more real pleasure
| out of eating than I do I am not a
! particle nervous any more. my kid

simply sleep every night like log. /
now get up in the mornings feeling
| like a different man and am able to
| attend to business with my old time
strength and energy. I can now get

HAD A GOOD PARADE
Topeka Dealers in Motor Truck
Freight Hauling Demonstration.

In an effort to increase the use of
the motor truck for short freight
hauls the truck dealers of Topeka
Joined with ,the two trans-contine entail
trucks Monday afternoon in putting
on the biggest truck parade in the his
tory of the state.
The parade was given in an attempt
to awaken local shippers to the econ
omy of using the motor truck for
short shipments. For instance, If a
shipper wished to ship to ST. Marys
or some such point, it would be both
more economical and speedier to use
the motor truck than to use the train.
In fact in some parts of the United
States, notably in the east and in the
mountain regions of the west, ship
by-truck" companies have been organ
lied and are doing business as rail-
roads without tracks"
1t is hoped in Topeka that farmers
and business men alike will realize
the value of the motor truck as a
short haul shipping agency and will
Join together in relieving the railroads
of the short haul traffic.

MRS. SCUDDER TO RUN
Deputy in District Clerks Office VIII
Seek Election.

Mrs. Ora L. Scudder, deputy clerk
on the district court, today announced
her candidacy for the office of clerk
of the district court. Mrs. Scudder
prepared the following statement in
announcing her candidacy:
when l took the position of dep
uty in the office of clerk of the dis
trict court, at the small salary at
tached thereto. 1 did SO with the hope
that 1 could thoroly familiarize my
self with all the details of the work
and some day be elected clerk.
My apprenticeship as deputy clerk,
together with my ambition to aspire
to the better position, prompts me to
announce my candidacy on the Re
publican ticket for the nomination of
clerk of the district court.
Il shall be grateful to those of my
friends, and more especially the law
yers, if they will speak a word in
my behalf. 1t is generally conceded
that the office of the clerk of the dis
trict court should go to a woman and
desire that honor. I promise to all
an impartial and faithful performance
of all the duties of the office"

KNOWLTON TO LEAVE
Social Disease Expert of Army VIII
Return to Washington.

Capt. Millard Knowlton, who has
been in Topeka for the last thirteen
months detailed by the United States
army on venereal and social disease
work, is going to leave Topeka next
Saturday.
Knowlton recently received his dis
charge from the army and is now con-
nected with the public health service
of the United States government. He
will leave here for a brief trip to
Montana on his line of work and will
then return to Washington for a con-
ference. He will work for the public
health service thereafter as a regional
consultant and will have charge of
the work in several states.
While in Topeka Captain Knowlton
worked in cooperation with Doctor
Crumbine, of the state board of
health. Recently Knowlton's work
has been more of a public health SER
vice nature. He worked on a large
number of examinations for the war
risk bureau.
The first real attack, the first steps
in the battle against venereal diseases
were begun shortly after Knowlton's
arrival in the city. 1t was part of
Captain Knowlton's work in this dis
trict, so close to Camp Funston. to
know about conditions in cities and
communities close to the camp. AL
one time conditions were very bad in
Topeka and had not rigorous methods
been adopted by the city public health
department Topeka would have been
made a barred zone for soldiers
During his stay in the city Captain
knowlton has made a large number
of friends who will hate to see him
60 altho he leaves for bigger work
in a bigger field.

WATER CLEARING UP
Mains Were Flushed Sunday Night
With Good Results.

The city water mains were cut off
Sunday night at about 1880 o'clock
and the job of flushing the big mains
was started. The work continued
until about 2 o'clock in the morning
During the flushing process the
pumps at the water plant were run
ming under full capacity. Water was
being forced into the greater water
mains at the rate of 1900, 600 gall
Ions of water per day. This high pres
sure was continued for some length
of time. One of the large mains was
opened at sixteen points to permit the
outflow of the dirty water and scum
and dirt that was being washed from
the mains.
In some parts of the city the water
is already perfectly clear. In the up
town district the water Is not so clear.
Owing to the fact that the Daily Cap
ital could not go to press without
water in their building. Painter had
to open up the pipes so water could
be obtained and the flushing process
was not continued long enough to
clear up this water He stated this
morning that barring unusual acci-
dents and breakages or damages
caused by repairing work. the water
would be clear from now on.

MUST REMEMBER SICK
Noisy Motorists Warned About Speed
ing Past Hospitals in City.

Following a talk with Father Pat
rick McInerney in which objections
were brought up to the practice of
motorists speeding by hospitals with
open cutouts. Mayor Corwine stated
Monday that measures would have to
be adopted to curb this practice.
On account of the location of st.
Francis hospital in Sixth avenue,
at the junction of several popu-
lar drives, there is consequently a good
deal of noise from the passing motors
and motor cycles. Much of this is un-
necessary and it is simply due to ex-
treme thoughtlessness and carelessness
that the drivers open up cutouts near
the hospital. Every driver should
have enough consideration for sick
persons in the hospitals to shut off the
noise in the block in which hospital
is located.
Regardless of the humanitarian
standpoint, there is a city ordinance
prohibiting the use of cutouts,. for
which there never was any excuse.
The mayor will doubtless push the en-
forcement of this ordinance as he has
announced he intends to do in the
light, speeding. and other ordinances.

BUILD BOYS HUTS
Topeka Churches Will Furnish Quar-
tcrs for Scout Lads.

A number of Topeka churches are
planning to build huts or otherwise set
aside certain rooms for their respec-
tive Boy Scout troops, which may be
used as a troop headquarters, club
room and Sunday school room. The
Central Congregational church erected
a hut for this purpose at a cost of $500
and it is used every Sunday by the
scouts for their Bible class.
At the Euclid avenue church the
scouts raised money and built hut
that will seat fifty persons. The Wal
nut Grove Methodist church has voted
to add $500 to the building fund to
erect a room especially for the boys
of the church. Four rooms in the
basement of the Westminster Presby-
terian will also be fitted up for the
exclusive use of the boys, it was said.

general refuses to pile up a further
railroad deficit by hauling the harvest
hands at a minimum rate. He sug-
gests to Governor Allen that the farm
er should follow the course of other
employers of labor. If labor will not
answer the call and pay transportation
expense, then the farmer should fur
nish transportation.

of "SIickers."
That an army of 'smoothed-tongued
slickers" will invade Kansas follow
ing the wheat harvest in an effort to
reap a rich reward from the farmers
who will collect huge sums of wheat
money, is the opinion of w. w. Bow
man, secretary of the Kansas Bank

he says
The bankers Of the state are going
to preach a gospel of thrift and urge
a continuance of the economy that

money will mean big things to the
institutions of the state and it is the
