LUCY PACE is OUT
Anti Cigaret Leader Leaves
Chicago National League.
Reorganization Can Now Go I'm
hampered," Officers State.

Chicago. Aug. 26.-Miss Lucy Page
CASTOR rendered her resignation today
as head of the Anti-Cigaret League,
an organization fighting for the abol-
ishme nt of cigarets.
1.-The work of the organization can
now go forward unhampered by indi-
vidual influences and leave Miss Gas
ton free to carry out her more drastic
and prohibitory methods" said the
board of directors, in announcing the
resignation.
Lucy Page CASTOR is the recognized
! Carrie Nation of the anti-cigaret cru
sade. She spent several months in
Kansas last winter and aroused con-
siderable interest in her crusade to
stamp out use of the pill. She came
into the state as the authorized and
salaried crusader for the Anti igaret
league, but. explained her financial re-
lations with the league by stating that
she donated a part of her pay check
to the organization.
The Lucy Page CASTOR campaign IN
this state aroused the interest and en-
thusiasm of legislative agents whose
endeavors were restricted with adop-
ton of the eighteenth amendment.
Representative w nllS OI Odlln6 COun-
ty, suspected of entertaining a fine
line of political ambitions, cham
pioned the CASTOR platform in the
legislature He introduced a bill IN
the house which made Illegal either
the sale, smoking or possession of the
vile weed
During her stay in the state Miss
CASTOR made Topeka her headquar-
tiers. She was a frequent legislative
visitor and sought to raise funds for
her cause by marketing a large sup
ply of clean life buttons among
kindergarten children and pupils in
the lower grades of the public schools
These free will offerings supplement-
ed the more generous contributions OF
down east anti-cigaret fans, who were
declared to have paid literally to
keep Miss CASTOR in the field.
Last year Miss CASTOR sought nomi-
nation for the presidency on a no
cigaret platform. She asked nominal
ton at the hands of the Republicans,
but in the excitement surrounding the
development of Harding as a dark
horse, the delegate who was to nomi-
nate Miss CASTOR became confused
and her name didn't go before the
convention.

Had Close Shave

my wife and children thought I
was dying when. after an attack of
acute pains in my stomach, 1 became
unconscious. 1t was right after our
Sunday dinner. They say 1 looked like
dead and guess 1 had a pretty close
shave. I had been having more or
less stomach trouble and bloating with
gas for past two years and could get
no permanent help. Talking with
friend about my attack. he advised me
to try Mayr's Wonderful Remedy. I
have not had any gas or stomach
trouble since taking it eighteen months
ago." 1t is a simple, harmless prepar-
alton that removes the catarrhal
mucus from the intestinal tract and
allays the inflammation which causes
practically all stomach, liver and in
festival ailments. including appendi-
citis. One dose will convince or money
refunded. At all druggists.-Adv.

SOUTH TOPEKA PAVING DONE.
Four Blocks Adjoining Fair Grounds
Completed Ahead of Time.

The four blocks of paving on To-
peka avenue from Euclid avenue to
the Shunganunga have been COM
pleted, Commissioner w. S. Hancock
said today.
Free Fair boosters were concerned
over the possibility that the paving
would not be completed before the
fair opening, September IL, and the
work was hurried faster than usual
to prevent any complication of trans
portation problems in Free Fair week.
Sewers were constructed in connec-
ton with the paving to solve the drain
age problem in that district. The
approximate cost of the entire work
was $4,000, Hancock said.

bullish and buying from that quarter gave
the market its strength early in the day
1t soon became apparent, however, that

took on a weak appearance. AS usual, the
news of q bullish sort, including a
semi official estimate that 90 per cent of
the Kansas crop had been marketed
against 20 per cent Il year ago. The export
demand was quite active with sales up to
the close, placed at 100000. Vessel room
was chartered here for 100000 bushels for
immediate loading to Buffalo. Bradstreet
clearances for the week were in excess of
lions could be construed as very bullish,
but for the fact that the spring wheat
movement is hanging over the market,
while the necessary speculative support is
lacking. For this reason we don't con-
slider it advisable to take position on the
buying side.
GORNABuying by seaboard interests,

this market its strength during the fore
noon. Late in the day the market declined
under the pressure of selling by cash
houses, and by early buyers. The cash de-
mand was quite good and receipts of 80
ears were taken at yesterdays prices. 1t
is practically certain that the movement
from the interior will continue large for
some time and If present prices are to be
maintained the cash demand must likewise
keep up TO the supply.
OATS-This market showed somewhat
stronger tone than other grains, due more
to absence of selling pressure than to any
particular demand. Cash prices were frac-
tfonally higher and the basis was strong.
showing further decrease. We don't LOOK
for any permanent strength at present.
