Weather Retreat

Il began to think that it might be
possible to apply the bucket principle
to at least one room in my Washington
home, and thus secure q place Of re-
treat in the summer time 1t seemed
to be advisable to close up all OPENINGS
near the bottom of the room 10 pre-
vent the escape of cold air and open
the windows at the top to let out the
heated air of the room.
"Now, it so happens that | have in
the basement of my house swimming
tank, and it occurred to me that since
this tank holds water, it should GER
tainly hold cold air; so 1 turned the
water out to study the situation. The
tank seemed to be damp and the sides
felt wet and Shiny
81 reflected, however, that the con-
densation of moisture resulted from
I tHe IdcL lhat the SIDES OF the tank
were cooler than the air admitted.
Water vapor will not condense on any
thing that is warmer than itself, and
1t occurred to me that if | introduced
air that was very much colder than |
wanted to use, then it would be warm
I ng up in the tank and becoming DRYER
all the time. 1t would not deposit
moisture on the sides and would act
ually absorb the moisture there.
Il therefore provided a refrigerator.
IN which were placed large blocks Of
ice, covered with salt This was placed
IN another room at higher elevation
than the tank, and a pipe, covered with
asbestos paper, was employed to lead
the cold air into the tank.

This idea occurred TO

II have found one radical defect in
the construction of our houses that alb
solutely precludes the possibility of

will readily understand the difficulty,

heavier than warm air. You can take

carry it about in the summer time and
not spill drop; but if you make a
hole in the bottom of your bucket, then,
of course, the cold air would ran out.

ASK HAYS TO CITY
Republicans Plan To Invite
Chairman To Banquet.
Address VIII Officially Open
Campaign in Kansas.

VIII H. Hays. chairman of the Re
publican national committee. may be
the guest of honor of Kansas Repub-
icanS at their annual dinner in To-
peka January %. Plans to bring Hays
to Topeka were being discussed this
afternoon at a meeting of the execu-
tive committee of the Kansas Day
club.
Official opening of the 1920 cam
paign in this state is expected to occur
when Kansas Republicans hold17t their
annual love feast here next month. It
is the plan of officers of the banquet
club to start the campaign, with a top
line attraction who would display IA
voritism toward none of the probable
presidential candidates. Recently Re-
publican leaders have urged speeches
by Gen. Leonard Wood, Governor
Lowden of Illinois and other possibili-
ties before the Republican national
convention Kansas, tho, would bet
ter maintain her present neutrality to
the field by speech from Chairman n
Hays. In view of this fact officers of
the club are expected to invite Hays to
attend the banquet.
Five Kansas speakers will probably
be given places on the program next
| month. AT least one of these speakers
will be a woman. Should Chairma II
Hays be able to come to Kansas, he
| will be the guest of honor of the Re
| publican dinner club and will be allot-
| ed such, time as desired for his dis
| cuSsion of national issues.
In view of the fact that 1920 is a
| presidential year a capacity crowd is
| expected to attend the banquet Jan.

probably be in session at that time
and that the bar association meets the
following day insures a large at

surrendering the roads or announce q
change in his plans. Some admins
alton officials believe the fate of the
railroad legislation in congress will be
a determining factor in whatever Is
done. Many officials think it will be
disastrous industrially to surrender
the roads without adequate egislauon
to meet their changed status.
Meantime. however, preparations
are going forward at the railroad ad-
ministration for turning the roads
back in accordance with the decision
announced by President Wilson in his
message to congress last May.
Surrender of the roads would make
very little difference in actual opera
ton. in the opinion of officials. as the
lines now are being operated by their
own employees.

BUSINESS COLLEGE MEET
School Heads in Conference at State
House Wednesday.

Heads of Kansas business colleges
will meet in a conference in the state
house Wednesday. The conference
has been called by Miss Lorraine E.
Wooster, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction.
1t is Miss Wooster's purpose to de-
termine the extent of work handled by
the various schools and their manner
of graduating students. Facts as to
enrollments in the various schools will
also be determined. At present there
is no state record as to the enrolment
course of study or number of gradu-
ates in the business colleges of this
state, Neither is there a definite rec
ord as to the number of schools or a
positive requirement as to qualifica-
tions in securing state recognition.
These matters will be discussed at the
Wednesday meeting.

EvADE THE LAWS
Railways of U. S. Careless
Charge by Safety Bureau.
Declares Managers Have Given
Sanction Careless Practices.

Washington. Dec 16.-Evasion of
laws to promote the safety of passen-
gers and employees was charged to the
railroads of the United States today
of safety of the I. c. c. in his annual
report. In the case of the hours of
service laws, which prohibits train
operatives from remaining on duty
more than sixteen hours except in eX-
traordinary circumstances, Mr.. Bor-
lands report declared mana ging Off
GERS apparently had given their sane
ton to evasions Ito such an extent as
to defeat the purposes of the lAw."
He charged that safety had been sac
rificed to expediency.
Railroad companies were said to
have paid Comparatively little atten-
ton to the maximum requirement of
the law regarding safety appliances
They were said to have contented
themselves with meeting the mini
mum, which orders that 85 per cent
of the cars in any trains shall be equip
ped with power brakes, disregarding
the maximum requirement that all
cars so equipped must be connected
and the brakes in operation. Hand
brakes also were alleged still to be in
use on some railroads for controlling
trains on mountain grades, altho the
law specifies that trains must be con-
trolled by power brakes.
On some roads employing the man
ual block signal system, it was said
dangerous practices are followed and
rules violated to such an extent as to
render the block signal system entire
ly useless.
Log trains which are exempted
from safety appliance regulations are
being operated over main lines in
Georgia and Florida without any
brakes except on engines and. ca

MRS. WALTER GAINS
Twenty Pounds in Weight After
Taking Tanlac.
AS Well and Strong Now AS
Ever in Her Life.

BY the help of Tanlac I am rid of
a case of stomach trouble that made
life miserable for five years, and I
have gained twenty pounds in weight" >"
said Mrs. W. Walter. who resides at
20S West Mulberry St. Bloomington,
ILL., Continuing. she said:
Y had am extremely poor appetite
and would have 20 force down what
little 1 did manage to, eat, and even
this would cause me intense misery. l
would bloat something awful and my
heart would palpitate so badly it,would
frighten me-, and l also had great diff
ficulty in breathing at times. l would
also have such cramping pains in my
stomach could hardly stand them l
was troubled g. great deal with my
kidneys and / would just almost
scream with pain that would Sstart in
the small of my back and seem to
work up under my shoulder blades. l
could get but little sleep as 1 could lie
in no position in which l would not be
in misery. Loss of sleep and pain and
lack of nourishment soon caused me
to lose weight until I was scarcely
more than a frame and I was so weak
I could do hardly any of my house
work. I would also have terrible
splitting headaches and would become
so dizzy at times L would have to catch
hold of something or sit down to keep
from falling. Well, l just dragged out
year after year in this terrible condi-
ton without being able to find any
thing to help me, altho l had tried
every kind of treatment and medicine
] could hear of. and had become very
much discouraged, when one day L
met a friend of mine I had not seen
before in six months and who the last
time / saw her was in an awful bad
condition and suffering terribly, but
who now was a perfect picture of
health and looked at least twenty
years younger. She declared she was
we'll and that she owed it all to Tan
lac. and advised me to try it.
Il took her advice and began taking
Tanlac. and 1 want to say right here
it is the erandest medicine on earth in
my opinion. l soon had a fine appe-
tite and could eat anything I wanted
without suffering any bad after eff
fects, and l was never troubled with
gas OF palpitation of the heart. I con-
timed taking it until I am healthy
woman again NV kidneys never
bother me at all and the pains in my
back have entirely left me, and L have
sot had the headache or those dizzy
spells since 1 started taking Tanlac.
] am as strong as 1 ever was in my life
and can do all my housework with the
greatest ease. If l could get Tanlac
l wouldn't care whether there was any
other medicine in the world, for 1
have such faith in 10 don't believe 1
would ever need anything else" N
