Telephones and Government

We country folks up here in Cal.
cdona county are far more vitality in
tercstcd in the government contro
of the telephone and telegraph sys'
TENS of the country, than the average
man would imagine.
The telephone hearing here this
past week before the Public Service
Commission demonstrated this.
We thought for Il long time, wher
the rates were first proposed, that VIC
couldn't do anything about it because
it was a war ruling of the govern
mcnt. And the interest taken when
it was discovered that the Public
Service Commission still maintained
it's prc-war authority goes to show
that we are not at all satisfied with
the high-handed manner in which in
some instances, the government has
cxerted it's authority in a more or less
autocratic manner.
Nearly every administration at
Washington has some one special
target for public criticism, and in
the present Government Postmaster
General Burleson now seems to be
drawing volleys such as previous
ly fell to the lot of Secretary Dan
iels and Secretary McAdoo.
Even after the elimination of what
he himself calls "the mouthings of
irresponsible blatherskites," there re-
mains a notable body of public critic
ism directed against the official ac-
tions of Mr.. Burleson-criticism
which has eliminated in the fight of

sponsi5ilities" to the Post-officc Dc

petcnt from the head down"
In the matter of the cables and
telegraph systems a Minnesota Con-
gresham affirmed that Mr.. Burlcson
was "guilty of embezzlemcnt of pow
Ell" and the Macon Telegraph
Ocm), protesting against the telc-
phonc-rate order, eXclaims:
"Already this amazing maladminis-
TRAITOR is mailing telcgrams to us
when we pay for delivery. The tcle-
graph service of the country has been
so slowed up that it is almost intol-
crablc-and now this. And some peo-
pie wonder what makes Bolshcvil;i

In the case of telcphone-ratcs, it
is pointed out that the Postmaster
General is imposing a new and ma
tion-widc schedule despite the fao'
that the House Committee on Post
Offices has voted in favor of the Gov
crnmcnt relinquishing control of tel
cphonc, telegraph, and cables lines
not later than December 81, 1919. A
new schedule, moreover, was officially
announced as "a sweeping reduction"
in rates, but this reduction, according
to the New York Tribune (Rep.), has
proved "illusory"; and the Chicago
Daily News Und.) finds that there
is actually "a very substantial in
crease" In the New York Evening
Sun we real:
"The new rates were promulgated
by the Postmaster General with the
statement that they brought about a
decrease in charges. but analysis by
the Public Service Commission gives
the same results as those made by the
commissions in Illinois, Ohio, Nebras-
ka, New Jersey, Indiana, Missouri,
and other states; that is, that the in
crease in rates varies from 20 to 100
per cent.

Under his reign, the postal service
has become by-word for inefficiency,
and the bureaucratic despotism which
employees endure is a national scan

that met his disfavor during the war
he was notoriously whimsical.
"One of his crowning achievements
was to get a system of second-class

THIN, FRAIL
FOLKS NEED
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
being advertised for 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 keenly feel their
excessive thinness.
Thinness 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 we'll as
tie organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bitro-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-
phosphate quickly produces welcome
transformation in the appearance: the In
crease in weight frequently being astonish-
ing.
This increase in weight also carries with
1t general improvement in the health.
Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of
energy. which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear. dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glow
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION Although bitro- phosphate Is
unsurpassed for relieving nervousness.
sleeplessness and general weakness, it
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
| who does not desire to put on flesh.-Adv.

SUFFERED is YEARS
Nothing Ever Helped Him Until
He Tried Tanlac.
Terry Now Feels Well and
Strong Again..

after suffering for sixteen long
years, and failing completely to find
a medicine that would overcome my
troubles, / came across this Tanlac
and now l am as well and hearty Is l
ever was in my life said J. l.. Terry.
a well known organ builder who lives
at 926 North Third street, Springfield.
Ill, the other day.
II had about come to the conclu-
sion that there wasn't a thing in the
world that would ever overcome my
troubles" continued Mr.. Terry, for
all the medicines 1 had taken up to
the time L commenced taking Tanlac
didn't do me any more good than
that much water. My kidneys both
cred me a good deal, and 1 had suf-
fered so much with pains in my back
that 1 was actually afraid to straight
en- up when 1 walked, and just had to
go stopped over all the time. This
trouble just seemed to get worse all
the time in spite of everything l did
to check it. Then my stomach went
back on me, and after meals L would
have terrible cramping spells on &C
count of my food not digesting prop
erly. Sometimes my heart would pal
pitate terribly on account of gas
forming in my stomach and pressing
up into my chest, and when L would
have these spells l would simply have
to fight for breath. 1 would often
have dizzy spells, too, and would just
have to go to bed and stay there I'M
til they passed off. All these troubles
finally affected my entire nervous
system and 1 got to where L never
got a good nights sleep, and I just
got so weak and run down that l had
to give up my work altogether.
LAS 1 said before, 1 was very much
discouraged over my condition, and
the day that 1 bought my first bottle
of Tanlac, the future looked pretty
dark for me so far as health is icon-
cerned. L want to say, however. that
everything is quite different now, and
the change started very soon after 1
commenced taking Tanlac. My appe-
tite came back, and now, it just looks
like l can't get enough to eat, and
there isn't anything in the way of
food that L am afraid to eat, and 1
never suffer a particle from indiges-
ton afterwards. L have also gotten
completely over all that nervousness,
and I sleep as sound as I ever did in
my life. 1 never have those awful
pains in my back like 1 did, and my
kidneys seem to be in perfect condi-
ton. In fact 1 have regained my
health completely since 1 began TAX
strong in every way as 1 did when 1
was not more than twenty years old.
1 have had several of my friends
tell me that 1 look ten years younger
than I did a short time ago, and I
know it must be true, for 1 certainly
feel that way.
Tanlac is sold in Topeka by Tully-
Mcfarland Drug Co.-Adv.

TO GET LOWER RATE
Poultry and Dairy Product Shippers
Win in Long Fight.

Beginning August 1, 1919. the poul-
try and dairy products shippers of
Kansas and other middle western
states will be the benefciaries under
the new rates issued on carlot skip
ments of the mentioned commodities
to points east.
Under the present rate, the middle
west shippers are at a big disadvan-
tage in competing with the shippers of
the same products located farther to
the east. The new rate will mean a
saving of ASH cents a hundred for
carlot shipments of poultry from st.
Louis and points west to Boston and
points on the Atlantic seaboard.
The new butter and egg rate means
a saving Of % cents a hundred under
the same conditions.
The poultry rate after August / will
be SO cents a hundred as against
$1.3SA at present. The new butter
and egg rate will be IS cents as
against the present s1.16. Both rates
are figured on shipments between st.
Louis and Boston forming the basic
rate for shipments originating at all
points in the middle west.

BOY LIFE SAVERS
Topeka Scouts Would Guard All
Swimming Places.
Demonstration of Work Put On
Before Policemen.

The headquarters troop of twenty
Boy Scout life saving corps gave a
demonstration to the mayor, chief of
police and all the police force of the
city Thursday night at evening roll
call, of what is known as the ''Shaefer
method" of resuscitation for drowning
or smothering with gas or smoke. This
demonstration was made in all cities
having Boy Scout organizations. all
over the United States. in an effort to
help prevent the 10000 deaths which
occur yearly from these causes. Just
at this time the large number of re-
ports in the papers of drownings en-
phasize the importance of protective
and preventive activity.
The scout executive. Mr.. j. H. Fa
eel, in a brief talk explained the OBJ
ject of the demonstration, and made
an offer on behalf of the more than
400 Boy Scouts in the city. that If the
city would furnish equipment, such as
life belts, dredge hooks and rope. boats
and danger signs with directions what
to do in case of accident, and establish
life saving stations at all the lakes and
swimming places in or near Topeka.
