 This volume of Experiences and Ob servations of an American Consular Of ficer During the Recent Mexican Revo- lutions' is told by the authority. Will B.

To keep her in- formed of the progress of affairs in Mexico-in which she had become con- siderly interested-he wrote to her from time to time, giving accounts of events as they happened down there. SOn his own return to this country. finding that his letters had been well preserved, and that they were helpful in refreshing his memory about particulars. he decided to make liberal use of them in compiling these chronicles. Therefore the reader is to understand that all unaddressed and rnsingned letters, or parts of letters, made use Of in the preparation of these chronicles, were written by the author to his daughter. Mrs, w. c. Darlington, Of Pueblo. Colo. Such other letters as may appear in these pages, whether copied from those of the author to other persons, or from letters of others to the author will explain themselves.
 ''The publication of these letters is not intended as q contribution to history, nor even as pretense at giving full account of the revolutions to which they largely refer. but it is done merely to gratify personal whn, and afford to any one who may care to do so, the opportunity of living over with the author. in retrospect. experiences which he and some other Americans had during the most turbulent times of the recent revolutions in Mexico

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of dam
druff is to dissolve it. then lou destroy
it entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub it in
gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morning.
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve
and entirely destroy every single sign
and trace of it, no matter how much
dandruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous,. glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store 1t is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.-Adv.

ducer to reap the profit? At the same time,
there are important items for the farmers
to consider in storing wheat as interest,
shrink, waste possible depreciation in
quality, and damage from weather and
insects. -
To Help Producer.
This effort of the farmer hurts no
legitimate interests and is merely calcu-
lated to help the producer. The wheat
farmer has but one turnover in the year
He planted and produced and harvested
this years wheat crop at a time when
wages and other prices were at their peak
and these facts. together with the worlds
wheat crop and demand, should warrant
a peak price for wheat If prices on artf-
cles that he must purchase were reduced in
the same ratio as the wheat price has
slumped, conditions would be different
trade letter just received says there
has been no adequate decline in bakers
bread and flour as compared with the
very consequential decline in wheat Which
might indicate that the trade believes wheat
Is TOO low and is likely to increase.
I'VE have no advice to offer the farmers
for we have no way of knowing what future
prices may be, or whether the efforts of
the farmers in holding wheat will be of
such unity and scope as to succeed in their
objects. If the wheat is held in sufficient
quantities TO affect the price. it will be
not thru obedience to any iron-clad organ
tzatton, for, TO succeed the cooperation
of farmers not affiliated with any organ
ization must be had.

Society Ladies Adopt
NewHair Curling Method

Since the introduction of the silmerine
method in this country, it has become quite
'the proper thing among society women,
who have readily adopted it in place of
the destructive curling iron. The waves
and curls acquired by the new method are
far more natural in appearance, anu the
hair of course is glossier and prettier thah
could be if the life were cooked out of it.
The liquid is pleasant to use, being
neither greasy nor sticky. 1t is n simple
thing to apply with n clean tooth brush
before doing up the hair. The lovely wavy
effect in evidence in about three hours is
all that one could wish for. 1t costs little
to use liquid silmerine, as a few ounces

EXTEND PUBLIC HEALTH WORK.
Prevention of Disease Campaign in
Every Rural District,

Extension of public health work in
rural districts of Kansas will be I'M
dertaken by c. B. Warren, a represen-
tative of the national health board and
specialist in rural sanitation. Work
ing in cooperation with county health
boards in various parts of the state his
efforts will be directed principally to
prevention of disease, rather than at
lacking the disease after it has ap-
peared.
Warren will work first in Geary and
Marion counties. Until recently he
has been working only in the south,
assisting in the fight against the hook
worm, and Kansas is the first state
north of the Mason-Dixon line to re-
ceive his aid. He will proceed entire
ly on the advice of local health
boards. His work is fostered by the
Rockefeller foundation. DIR. S. J.
Crumbine, secretary of the state board
of health, was instrumental in secur-
ing the services of Warren.

one-third rate fare, which has been
granted by the state court, and for
which the rate is effective from all
points in the state.
Both rates are granted on the GER
tificate plan, which means that a one
way fare is paid from the home point
to the reunion point, where d certifi-
cate of attendance is issued which en-
titles the holder to reduction of two
thirds on his homeward trip. The
minimum attendance at the 117th re-

TO CHURCHES WITH S. a. DRIVE.
Contributions To BE Asked From Pull
pit Sunday Morning.


Hard luck pursued the Salvation
Army drive officials in the matter of
securing enough canvassers. R. c. Ell
lis. campaign director. said this morn
ing. In order to give the people who
were not called upon by canvassers
during the drive a chance to contri-
butte, Ellis this morning sent out let
tiers to all the ministers in Topeka
asking them to take up a contribution
at their church services next Sunday
morning, for the benefit of the drive.
1T is not only the easiest way. but
the only practical way we have dis
covered, for getting to the people who
really want to contribute, but who have
not been called on said Ellis this
morning. 1T isn't a church affair any
more than in the fact that we are ask
ing the churches to be our means of
getting to the people. We have been
receiving many calls from the resi-
dence districts from people who have
not been visited, and who want to con-
tribute.
IF these people get the chance they
really want, we'll go over the top on
that $4,000, good and strong"
There are move than fifty ministers
in the city who will be asked to assist
the drive in this way, next Sunday.
With the returns from these sources,
and the reports yet to be received from
the county rural districts and the in
dustrial committee, Ellis feels sure
that the goal will be passed easily.
