FAVOR A STATE FLAG
Kansas House Fights Long and Hard
Over G. A. r. Banner Plan.

Kansas is just about due for state
flag-a state banner. the house state
affairs committee preferred to call it.
More tha.. an hour of red hot debate
was necessary. tho, to convince the
house members that the plan of the
D. A. r. to give the state a flag really
wasn't an infringement on the Stars
and Stripes.
ALI states except three-Kansas,
Iowa and Kentucky-have state flags.
But it took much hard work for Bar
rier. McWharf and a number of other
members to convince the opposition
that someone wasn't trying to hide
Old Glory behind wall. 1t was a
great opportunity for ardent debate
Brooks, White, Showalter and several
other members heard a call to service
and they said harsh things a bout any,
one who even thought ef a state flag.
1t was a great opportunity to wave
the flag and become patriotic and the
temptation was so great that the house
refused to adjourn on time and con-
sumed an extra half hour in discuss
ing the bill.
When the committee finally calmed
and a vote was taken, the bill was
recommended for passage. The flag
Officially the state banner-was
recommended by the D. A. r. and has
been supported by a strong lobby dur
ing the present session. The bill
passed the senate last week.

not see any action. The infantry of
the 91st division was in action, but
the artillery had just been moved up

INTO ACTION AT ONCE
Great Britain's Reconstruction Con-
gress VIII Get at Business.

London, Feb. 11.-Great Britain's
reconstruction parliament was expect
ed to swing Immediately into business
at the conclusion of the brief cere-
monial program when it was formally
opened by King George today.
Laborites who now form Ibis
majesty;s opposition" were scheduled
to move an amendment to the kings
speech in regard to the present indus
trial troubles. George N. Barnes, cab
met minister without portfolio, who
has been repudiated by the labor
party, probably will reply for the gov
ernment. The non-coalitionlist lib
erals also were to present an amend
ment to an important speech Premier
Lloyd George was to deliver late in the
afternoon. Their amendment was ex-
pected to be based on general labor
reconstruction problems and possibly
on peace questions. Andrew Bonar
Law, government leader in the house
of commons, was scheduled to speak
in behalf of the unionist wing. The
government probably will allow two
days for. debate on the amendment to
the kings speech before a vote is TAX
en- on it.
The kings speech dealt with the al
| lied victory and peace time reconstruc-
| ton. The usual brilliant scene attend
| ing the formal opening of parliament
was slightly dulled by the fact that
| the galleries were in mourning for the
death of Prince John.

caused me no end of suffering. This
trouble just seemed to gradually grow
worse all the time. and finally got so
bad that everything 1 ate would sour
and cause gas to form on my stomach,
and would be perfectly miserable for
hours after meals. 1 was badly con-
stipated all the time, and my nerves
got in such bad shape that I was hard

refreshing sleep. l finally lost my
appetite and began to lose in weight,

a very badly, rundown condition.
I'll am telling the boys all up and
down the line what Tanlac has done

needsany medicine not to pass Tanlac
up. IL can handle my train with as
much lease now as l did many years
ago and 1 don't have that tired, worn
out feeling any more. My nerves are
steady as a die, and 1 sleep like log

as it ever was and I can eat meat.

Issues Urgent Call Today.

Mothers. wives. fathers, and sweet
hearts of soldiers who have been en-
trusted with the care of decorations
won by their relatives in France, eth
er in the American army or in the ar
mics of the allies, are faced with an
urgent call to loan the medals for a
few weeks to be used as window dis
play. Tho idea is to surround the
Shawnee county thanks medal which
will be given to every Shawnee county
soldier with a showing of the various
medals won by Topeka boys in the
service. 1t is the desire of the COM
mittee that at least one of each of the
medals Cor military service or valor be
loaned for the occasion, as it is
thought that the medal display will
attract the attention of practically
every returned soldier more than a
bare display Of the Shawnee county
thanks decoration. The medals should
be taken to the Fullerton store and it
is promised that the best care will be
taken of the decorations
