FIGHT THE DISEASE
tContinued from Page One

nation. Kansas City physicians ex-
pressed their belief that the disease
was a recurrence of the influenza of
a year ago.
One local doctor said today he be-
lieved atmospheric, conditions were
responsible for the epidemic and that
the disease had first entered this
country from southern ports.
Ailment Increases Steadily.
Physicians all reported cases of the
disease in increasing numbers today.
The sickness was found even among
nursing babies, where sterilized milk
was fed. Schools and business houses
again were hard hit by absence of
their students and employees on ac-
count of the sickness.
Cases of sickness similar to the
winter cholera reported here have
been reported in other Kansas cities,
notably Atchison and Pittsburg. The
former city has twelve cases, but the
disease has not reached the epidemic
of it's propinquity to Oklahoma,
where the disease was first noted, is
taking precautions against an cpl
delnic there, and many cases have
been quarantined in Idaho, where the
disease is fatty listed as influenza.
The Oklahoma state board of health
applies the same name to the disease
as that given by members of the Kan
sas board, winter cholera" An Okla
homa City dispatch says there was an
epidemic of a similar malady in 1915,
just as was noticed here at tile same
time. The Oklahoma authorities ex-
pect a typhoid epidemic to follow the
present one, as was the case in 1915.

TIE Best Cough Syrup
is Homemade.
81 Here's an easy why to save -, and
yet have the hest cough remedy
you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this we'll
known plan of making cough syrup at
home. But have you ever used it
When you do, you win understand why
thousands of families, the world over,
feel that they could hardly. keep house
without it. It's simple and cheap, but
the way it takes hold of cough will
quickly earn it a permanent place IN
your home.
Into pint bottle, pour 21a ounces OF
Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar
syrup to fill up the pint Or, If desired,
use clarified molasses, honey. or corn
syrup instead of sugar syrup. Either
way, it tastes good, never spells, and
gives you full pint of better cough
remedy than you could buy ready-made
for three times its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers a
cough-usually in "a hours or less. It
seems to penetrate through every air
passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or tight
cough, lifts the phlegm, heals the MEM
branes, and gives almost immediate re-
lief. Splendid for throat tickle, hoarse.
ness, Group, bronchitis and bronchial
asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM

and has been used for generations for
throat and chest ailments.

SWEET CIDER UNDER BAN
Federal Revenue Collector Issues Edict
Forbidding Apple Juice.

Kansas City, Jan. 14.-Sweet cider,
too, is to become one of those drinks
which soon will exist only in memory.
George F. Crutchley, collector of in
ternal revenue here, announced today
that in accordance with his interpre-
tation of the national prohibition act
sweet cider will be classed as pro-
hibited beverage at midnight January
16. AS he interprets the law. cider
and fruit juices, sweet and hard, will
be in the same class as alcoholic bev-
erages. He pointed out today that
section 20 of the act provides that
cider and fruit juices are to be sold
only to persons having permits to
manufacture vinegar.

MAY LOSE VOTES
10000 Il. @. Citizens Minus
Ballot Under Registration Law.
New One Also Urged to Weed
Out Aliens Here.

Ten thousand Kansas City. Kan,
voters will be denied the right to vote
under the existing registration law
giverning the Wyandotte county city.
the senate was told this morning by
Sen. Walter Wilson, of Washington.
when he quoted letter written to him
by Mayor Mendenhall of Kansas City.
Wilson asked the senate for instant
consideration of a bill introduced in
the upper house demanding a. new
registration in Kansas City and re-
registration every four years. He read
a TELEGRAM from Sen. James f. Getty,
of Wyandotte, written from his sick
bed, asking for speedy action on the
relief measure. The senate promised
to consider the bill tomorrow.
Under the present registration law
governing Kansas City no one can
register during the ten months prior
to a presidential election, Wilson
stated. He pointed to the ever shift
ing population of the city and the
hundreds who become of age during
the ten months to prove the mayors
statement that 10000 persons fit to
vote are denied the right under the
existing law.
Then, Wilson pointed to the same
handicap which has induced Topeka
officials to call for a new registration
in this city-the registration of hun
dreds of aliens who under an old law
could register after taking out their
first naturalization papers. Whether
they have ever taken out their full
naturalization papers and are citizens
or whether they are still aliens cannot
be determined, Wilson stated. until a
new registration of all voters is Or
dered.
with a re-registration every four
years." said Wilson. kansas City can
see to it that American citizens and
not aliens are voting on national, city
and state policies and officers"

TO SEE WORLD AFLAME'
Legislators Invited to Private Show
ing Great ..Public Servant" Picture.


Members of the state legislature will
be given a private showing of The
World Aflame'' Friday afternoon at
O'Clock at the Orpheum theater, G.
L. Hooper. manager. announced to-
day.
The drama was written and pro-
duced by Frank Keenan, after deep
study of present day social conditions
and the Industrial unrest. Underneath
the story is the message pointing the
way to industrial peace. 1t portrays
the tongues of alien hatred striking
at the foundation stone of American
liberty, striving to stir up a revolution
and TO disrupt the government. The
idea of cooperation, which is touched
upon by every prominent speaker as
a solution to disrupted conditions. is
developed in the drama.
1t was Hooper's idea that the trend
of thought developed in the late drama
might be of benefit to the members OF
the legislature. strengthening the ideas
! on some subjects and probably caus-
ling them to think of other phases that
had not occurred to them before.
Hooper took the proposition up with
Governor Allen this morning The in
vitation to attend this private showing
will be extended to both houses or the
Legislature.
