YOU BETTER BE SHOT
That Is Pre-Typhoid Season Advice
Given by DIR. Clark.

With the typhoid season approach
ing, DR.. H. L. Clark, city health Of
ficer. issues a warning to consider the
typhoid incubation. NEGOTIATIONS
may be had at the clinic room at the
city hall free of charge. The inocu-
lation consists of a series of three
hypodermic injections, each a week
apart. Stay-at-homes are Just as liza
BILE to typhoid as travellers so it is a
good idea to get your typhoid insur-
ance carly
Three NEGOTIATIONS are absolutely
required in the army and navy. On
top of the three they had a super
charge injection known as the para
typhoid injection.
The efficiency and reliability of the
typhoid injections may be judged
from the fact that very little typhoid
has occurred in the army and navy.
while in the Spanish-American war
more soldiers were lost thru typhoid
in the concentration camps in this
country than were lost in the fight
ing.

WHEAT NOW HEADING
Flora Returns to Topeka With Good
Report on Crop.

. Wheat conditions in the kaw val
ley are splendid. is the report of :
d. Flora, who returned Sunday from
an inspecting trip to Clay Center.
Wheat that had fallen under the
constant rain is rising up under the
sunshine 1t is already heading in
the southeast part of the state and
will soon do so in the Kaw valley In
the central part of the state wheat
is jointing while in the west it has
just reached the jointing stage
In spite of all the talk of the i'm
probability of a good crop. Flora says,
it is going to come out fine. Grass
hoppers last fall in western Kansas,
grub worms in the central part Of the
state, and the lodging of wheat dur
ing the recent constant rains have all
added their weight to the voice of
pessimism. Still it looks like Kansas
is about to break out with a record
wheat crop.

REPLIES TO JANE adams
President Says Too Many Practical
Obstacles in Way of Lighter Terms.

Zurich. May 1S.-Miss Jane Ad-
dams of Chicago today read at the
Woman's International conference for
permanent peace, in session here, a
reply to an address sent to President
Wilson at Paris relative to modifica-
ton of the terms of peace. Mr. Will
son wrote:
Your message appeals both to my
intellect and heart and 1 sincerely de-
sire that means may be found to COM
ply with it, altho the prospects are far
from reassuring because of the i'm
mense practical difficulties"
Answering a suggestion by British
delegates that the American deIega-
ton secure her appointment as a
member of the council of the league
of nations, Miss Adams said:
such a scheme cannot be realized
for in America at the present day none
is more detested than the pacifist."
