on Wet Streets.
Two or three Topeka youths of the
moth variety. each one of them the
proud tho somewhat reckless possessor
Of a motor car of sorts. have dis
covered a new pastime wherewith to
while away the midnight hours.
Every night at midnight or there
abouts the main streets of Topeka are
given a thoro washing by the street
department. The washing of course
leaves a fine film of water on the sur
face of the pavement for a period of
an hour or more. The motor youths
take advantage of the film of water
on the asphalt pavement to change
that path of traffic into a sort of
motor skating rink. The object of the
sport is to see which one of the reck-
less ones can cause his car to reverse
ends by. skidding the most times.
1t is "whirlwind' pastime all right
but some day a wheel will hit the
rough cobblestone of the car tracks or
else a dry spot. When that happens a
wheel is very likely to be crumpled-
and then-well ding dong ambu-
lance"

DIR. COFFEE RESTORING SIGHT
TO BLIND PEOPLE,

It Is an unusual thing to see sight
restored to people who are perfect
ly blind in one or both eyes, with
out a surgical operation. In fact,
most people think it is impossible,
but the advancement of medical
science is doing many wonderful
things, giving encouragement to af-
fiicted people who had no hopes of
relief. These thoughts come to our
mind in the visit to the Office of DR..
W. o. Coffee, the oculist, meeting
people who were blind and deaf and
cross-eyed obtaining relief. He has
restored sight to several people who
were completely blind in the last
few months without a surgical op-
Grafton. Mrs Norah Waits of Hay
field, Mimi, almost completely blind
for 10 years, had suffered with her
eyes for 80 years, restored to good
sight. Miss Theodore Gill of Dav-

eyes; her sight was restored so
she can see to read Charles Rob-
erts was brought to Davenport from
Kentucky completely blind; sight
was restored in three weeks.
There is an article in another part
of this paper today about DR.. Coffee
and the splendid work he is doing
here. Read it. People afflicted
should go to his Office and meet the
people who are being cured See

MARKET QUOTATIONS
CORN FORCED DOWN
BY HEAVY SELLING

Chicago. Jan. 23.-Heavy liqui-
idation by holders forced sharp
breaks today in the corn market.
The fact that there lad been drop
of zoe a bushel in the last two
weeks led to some buying, but the
demand lacked volume. Bearish
sentiment was based largely on
statements current that corn prices
had to be considered in relation to
world industrial and economic con
ditions. Opening figures. which
varied from the same as yesterdays
finish to 1ssc lower with February
I.27A to 1.28, and May 1925 to
1-23 were followed by a temporary
general upturn, but then by a swift
descent all around much lower than
before.
All deliveries except January
touched the lowest prices yet this
season, but covering by shorts led
to rallies which were partly due to
the fact that country offerings re
manned light. The close was ner-
vous, Bc net lower to SAC ad-
vance with February 1884 to
1891 and May 1885 to 1899.
Oats traders took their cue from
corn. The market after opening
&c off to &c up with May SAC to
64Kc, scored a moderate advance
md then reacted.
Provisions were governed by the
same reasons as corn. Besides, the
supply of hogs here was excessive.
