National Prohibition to
Be in Effect Year
From Today.
ORDER OF PRESIDENT
GOES IN FORCE JULY l
Leaders in Movement Say Accom-
pishment Greatest Moral
Legislation in History.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January 16.-The United
States today completed the legislative
process of voting itself dry. When
word was flashed over the wires that
the thirty-sixth state-Nebraska-h
ratified the prohibition amendment,
prohibition leaders declared that the
accomplishment was the greatest piece
of moral legislation in the history OF
the world
The amendment to the federal Con-
stitution prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of intoxicating beverages
becomes effective one year after the
date of it's final ratification. Mean
while, the nation goes dry July l
next by presidential proclamation as
! a war measure unless the PRESIDENT
rcscinds it before that date.
! Congress Action on Amendment.
Congress passed the resolution sub
mitting the amendment to the va
rious state legislatures in the midst
of the seething preparation for war
in 1917. The Senate adopted the
resolution August 1 by vote OF 65
to 20, and the lower house on De-
cember II by 2S2 to 12s.
The legislature Of Mississippi was
the first to ratify, taking this acton
on January 8. 1918. Fourteen other
states took similar action during that
wear, the last of them being Louisiana,
which ratified on August 8.
In the fall elections the wet or
dry question was paramount in most
OF the remaining states. but the vote
left M doubt that the United States
was destined to be the first great
nation to veto liquor. The bansson
vodka in Russia was never completely
effectfve, nor did it interfere ma
teriaily with the consumption of more
expensive liquors by those VINO could
afford IL. Russian advices now state
that the bolshevists have restored the
vodka trafic.

KILL SMOKE BILL
Idea Meets Per-
manent Death in Senate.
Getty Measure for State Owner
ship of Wild Ducks.
ELEVENTH HOUR PROPOSALS
Total Bills for Session, How
ever, To Be Less Than 500.
Scheme for Sidewalks Along
Highways Is Approved.

1t looks very much like Kansas cpl
cures may be able to continue to en-
joy smoke with their meals and at the
same time feast occasionally on the
plump. white breast of butter soaked
partridges. 1t is very evident that the
Kansas senate is willing for them to
enjoy these Iuxuries.
The judiciary committee of the sem
ate has killed the last effort of the
smoke haters by recommending that
the toothless house bill be not passed.
And the senate fish and game commit
tee has killed the Nixon bill giving
further protection to the quail of the
state.
And this is not all. Epicures may
eat duck to their hearts content. SEN
ator Getty today had a bill ready to
introduce that would proclaim state
ownership in all game and migratory
birds and that would put an end to
the attempt of federal officers arrest
ing hunters under the greatly ques-
toned act passed by congress to pro-
tect wild ducks. Getty promises to
show the senate United States supreme
court decisions declaring that migra-
tory birds and game are the property
of the individual states when within
their boundaries and he is confident
the Kansas legislature can pass a law
that will keep the national government
from interfering Win the local nunl-
ers.
Today was the last day for the in
PRODUCTION of bills and from now on to
the end of the session all the senate
will have to do will be to clean up its
calendar and dispose of whatever leg
islation the house sees fit to send over.
Estimates today were that the total
number of senate bills introduced
when the hopper closed tonight would
be less than $50, a number much
smaller than any recent senate has
been able to boast.
Eleventh. Hour Bills In.
Among the eleventh-hour bills that
have gone in are the following of more
than local Importance:
A bill by Schoch of Shawnee pro-
viding that all factories and railroads
must report accidents Immediately to
1.-THE state factory inspector and that
the state factory inspector must be
permitted to attend and take part in
all inquests following fatal accidents.
A bill by Senator Nixon providing
that when a school teacher wins a
three-year certificate this may be
made equivalent to a life certificate,
provided it is used continuously during

Kidney disease is no respecter of per-

people today can be traced back to the
kidney trouble.
The kidneys are the most important
organs of the body. They are the I'll

which are swept from the tissues by the
blood are not eliminated through the
kidneys, disease of one form or another
will claim you as a victim.

WANTS GOVERNED IN

Packers. Stock Yards, Exchanges.

Packers, Stock Yards, Exchanges.
Hutchinson, Kan, Feb 2o.-Private
or corporation owned packing plants.
stock yards, livestock exchanges and
railroads, under strict government
supervision and control, were recon-
mended to the executive committee of
the Kansas Livestock association by
~. H. Mercer, Secretary of the associa-
ton and state livestock sanitary COM
missioner, in his annual report read
at a meeting of the committee held a.
u preliminary to the annual conven-
ton of the association which formally
opened here today. He recommended
that resolutions to that effect be
adopted by the convention.
Secretary MERGERS report went into
detail under separate heads, in discus
sion of the work of the association and
! it's committees and officers during the
past year, and related some of the
problems affecting the livestock in
dustry which have been occasioned di-
rectly and indirectly by the war. While
the livestock producers and shippers
| have been able to adjust some of the
| complications which have arisen, the
| secretary enumerated the following
three points on which the railroad ad-
| ministration and the livestock men are
| not yet agreed upon: Amount of feed
| for stock in transit; form of shipping
! contracts and bedding on cars for live
stock. He mentioned that the increase
in freight rates of rs per cent, and
331s increase on exchanges, had a
silent effect on shippers and that
| there was no immediate indication
that these rates are to be decreased.
! He spoke of the efficient services
rendered shippers by the National
Livestock Protective league in better
ing market, terminal conditions, de-
| claring that in the past it has been
| the custom of the railroads to place
the responsibility upon the stock yards
and vice versa, but that under the
activities of the league it has been
| possible to fix the blame definitely in
| cases that have arisen.
AS to the railroads, Secretary Mer-
Ger stated: 1.-The sooner they are turn
ed back to the original owners and
controlled by government regulations,
the better" He endorsed the same
idea as to packers and livestock yards
and exchanges, urging that congress
pass law which would put these
utilities under control of the bureau of
markets and marketing.

Bills Recommended Favorably.

During the Wednesday afternoon
session the senate spent practically all
of it's time on general orders. Among
the bills recommended for passage by
the committee of the whole were the
following:
Amos house bill permitting farmers
to build sidewalks along public high
ways.
Senate roads and highways COM
mittee bill requiring railroads to pave
between and on both sides of their
tracks when permanent highways are
built.
Senate livestock committee bill, pro-
viding for more stringent regulations
in making tubercular tests.
Price bill, limiting the bonded in
debtedness of boards of education of
cities of the second class.
One new duty that the senate has
taken on is that of trying to get to-
gether with the house on institutional
appropriations. Several measures that
were passed by the senate were
changed by the house without reduc-
ing them and the senate has refused
to concur in the changes, with the
result that Walter E. Wilson, chair
man of the senate ways and means
committee, has asked for conference
committee. 1t is asserted that after
making a change in practically every
item of the senate bills the house did
nothing more than to raise the total
appropriations of all the bills $780,

Are You a BOlshevik :?

Bolshevism is based upon
violence, relies upon force,
is deaf to right or reason.
To force the bowels to move
by taking castor oil, pills,
salts, mineral waters, etc,
is to outrage Nature and
"bolshevik" the body. Be-
cause drugs act by produ-
cling irritation.
Castor oil, for instance, is so
obnoxious that the bowels
make frantic effort to get rid
oft. Other medicines, from
SIENNA to salts, provoke ac-
ton by causing the bowels
to try desperately to expel
them first.
With such remedies there
fore the removal of bowel
waste is secondary and
wholly incidental. Hence,
the result is not to cure con-
stipation, but on the con-
trary, to make it worse,
more obstinate, harder to
overcome.
On the other hand, Nujol is
not a drug, does not act like
any drug, acts mechan-
ically, not incidentally; per-
saddes Nature instead of
forcing her.
