Woman Is Restored To
Perfect Health.

Tanlac has not on!y helped me but

rat I did not suffer from stomach
rouble and from time to time l would
et down with bilious spells. ! al

ug. and the gas from my undigested
iood caused my heart to f1utter and
: so.netimes would gasp for breath.
My left side hurt me almost all the
time and some days I would go almost
distracted from sick headaches. ] used
to dread to see the nights come, for
they meant hours of misery to me.
Most of the time ! would spend over
half the night walking the floor.
1T is almost unbelievable. but 1t is
true and the members of my family
will vouch for it, that by the time I
had finished one bottle of Tanlac I
was entirely relieved of stomach
trouble. An of the old disagreeable
symptoms after eating have passed
away and / never have a headache
now. In fact I haven't had any kind
of trouble in over a month and am

fore it found it's way to third reading
badly battered and bruised. The law
to increase the high cost of dying via
the inheritance tax act is in a pre-
carious condition. Opponents of the
law claim they will defeat daministra-
ton plans to lower exemptions under
the law.
Two Tax Bills Left.
Two big tax bills are yet to be con-
sidered in the legislature. Both orig
mated in the house and are on the cal
endar under general orders. One pro-
vides for an individual state income
tax. The second fixes a per cent
gross production tax on all minerals
produced in this state.
When the sessions opened this morn
ing, 1866 bills had been introduced in
the two houses-713 in the house and
652 in the senate. There are but 112
bills remaining in the committees.
Most of these bills will die there. There
is slight chance for bills which made
the trip to the committee rooms and
have failed to receive action. There
is also an equally slim chance for the
new legislative proposals which came
to the hopper in the late hours.
Total OF 146 New Laws.
To date the legislature has enacted
146 new laws. The house, tho, has
passed 179 original bills and the SEN
ate mas dCleO IdVOrdDly on lou original
measures. OF the new laws passed IS
originated IN the house and 20 in the
senate. The house has killed 20 bills
messaged from the senate and the SEN
ate has slain IL bills which originated
in the house.
Slaughter rtcords continue high in
both houses. OF the 1866 bills intro
duced, $50 have been killed. Thirty
two met death at opposite ends of the
hall, while legislative committees killed
SIS measures originally referred to
them and 80 were slain on the floor.
House committees have killed 315 bills
while 209 met death at hands of SEN
ate committees.

Shippers of Country Refuse to
Pay Freight Charges.
Car Shortage Replaced With
Big Car Surplus.
TOO MUCH INEQUALITY
Livestock Down to Pre- War
Levels, Rates Up 20 Per Cent.
Transportation Chiefs Point to
High Operation Costs.

Chicago, March 5.-Shippers of the
country are on strike against high
rates charged by carriers. The strike
is aimed to obtain lower freight rates,
just as the buyers strike of last year
forced down commodity prices. fs
A conference of shippers of the
country has been called in Chicago on
March IA to discuss the shipping and
transportation situation. 1.-The present
high level of freight rates has helped
to demoralfze business of the country"
the call for the meeting said.
All shippers, including farmers or
CARNATIONS, manufacturers and con-
sumers' associations were invited to
send representatives to the meeting
antagonistic to the carriers, it was
pointed out by those who issued the
call for the meeting.
Car Surplus Too Big.
In explaining the seriousness of the
situation, shippers organizations today
declared that shipping had dropped off
to sucn an extent that where there was
a shortage of 100000 cars a week at
this time last year, there is now an
excess of approximately 100000 cars
weekly.
Shippers have quit sending goods
because rates are too high, it was
stated by Clifford Thorne, representing
some shippers organizations. 1.-THE in
crease of rates granted August was
planned to net the railroads $1,7OO,-
900, 900 annually" said Thorne. This
has proven higher tax than the ship
pers will pay and they have quit send
ing goods, and the carriers are up
against it for revenue. Instead or IN
creasing the income of the railroads.
the increase in rates has really resulted
in decreased revenue"
and RafeS TTnPOnal
Prices of livestock are on practical
" a pre-war level, livestock shippers
pointed out, while freight rates are
approximately 20 per cent higher than
before the war Shippers of sheep
often get no more than 81 a head for
their animals, they claimed, after
paying freight charges. They cited
some instances where sheep shippers
realized only 80 cents head after
paying heavy freight charges.
Grain shippers declared that II a
farmer shipped corn from the Mis-
souri, river to New York at present
prices, he would realize only about 2
cents a bushel after paying freight
charges.
Railroad executives here declared
their operating costs, such as labor,
had not decreased and until there was
a decrease, they could not lower
rates.
Among those who Joined in the call
for the shippers meeting were farm
ers and grain shippers organizations
and attorney generals of midwest
states fighting in the supreme court
the last increase granted railroads by
the interstate commerce commission
as applied to intrastate shipments.

Woman Deserves Recognition.
Topeka has a grocer who deserves a
medal. a 'Croix-de-Grocer," SO to
speak, for his patience, courtesy and
good nature.
: The other evening a little woman
f1uttered into his store and order ed
some candy. After the bill was writ
ten she decided she would have an
other quarters worth. HE wouldn't
mind changing the bill?" "Oh, my,
no." he assured her.
AS the last piece was dropped in the
sack the woman reached in for sam
ple.' "Oh, dear, that candy is too
hard--it is for party you know" she
protested. at is toe hard to chew"
The grocer 1oked surprised but
agreed very pleasantly to give her
candy from another jar. As he was
pouring the candy into another sack
from another jar the woman spied a
jar of green sweets.
"Oh, that green candy would look
So pretty!" she exclaimed.
The grocer obligingly picked up the
third jar with the green candy and
started pouring 1t into sack. After
he had completed his task. weighing
and all, the woman said:
ssI wonder If you wouldn't take out
| some of the green and substitute white

SCHOOL CENSUS COMPL
Total of 522,457 Students in Schools
of Kansas, Report Shows.

The 1929 Kansas school census just
tabulated by Miss Lorraine E. WooS-
ter, state superintendent of public in
struction, shows a total of 522. 457. OF
this number 406,S83, or IT'S per cent,
were enrolled in school. The total ele-
mentary school enrolment was 34S,-
1874, and the high school enrolment,
5S.729. The average daily attendance
was 309,505, or 1873 per cent of en-
rollment.
To instruct these children required
an army of 1902 teachers, 592 su-
perintendents and $50 principals
total of 1884 teachers and supervis-
ors.
In 1920 Kansas had s.7o7 school
districts with 1924 one-teacher
schools. 996 two or more teacher
schools, n second class cities. and ten
first class cities. In addition there
were twenty-seven county high
schools.
OF one-teacher schools, 1880 had
seven months terms, 2,419 eight
month terms and 825 nine month
terms. The legislature has killed a
bill to make the minimum term eight
months on the ground that such law
might work hardship on the farmer
who needs the help of his boys for
the spring farm work. The average
term of schools having two or more
teachers and city schools ranged from
eight and one-ha1f to nine months.

Harding VIII Leave Appoint
ments to Official Family.
Legion Organizer Considered
for Big War Dept. Job.
ARE $4,000 PLACES TO FILL
Be No Big Shake Up in the
Diplomatic Staff.
Gives Time Today to Clark
Funeral and Golf.

Washington, March 5.-President
Harding settled down for work at his
desk in the executive office adjoining
the White House today.
One big job facing him was that of
passing out jobs-some $4,000 of
which will ultimately be filled from a
list of applicants several times as
large. But only few of the most i'm
portant received attention today.
Harding expected to consult cabinet
members further today regarding the
assistant secretaryships of the various
departments. Theodore Roosevelt has
already been named assistant secre-
tary of the navy. Ex-CongresSman
Thomas w. Miller of Delaware is men
toned as a possible assistant secre-
tary of war. He saw service in France
and was active in organizing the
American legion.
Henry P. Fletcher, former ambas-
sador to Mexico, has been chosen I'M
der secretary of state. but there are
three assistant secretaryships to be
filled
q Are Many Vacancies.
Two vacancies on the interstate
state commission, the entire seven
places on the shipping board; five
on the federal reserve board, three on
the United States tariff commission.
two on the federal trade commission,
four on the federal farm loan board
and several on the railway labor
board, are to be filled in the near fu-
ture.
, J. ]. Esch, defeated for reelection
20 congress from Wisconsin last No
vember, will be offered a place on the
Interstate commerce commission.
y Howard Warrington of Columbus,
Ohio, long interested in public utility
questions, may be offered the other
vacant spot.
/; Judson Welliver, journalist and stu
dent of economic problems. who was
associated with Harding during the
campaign is expected to be offered
position on either the federal trade
commission or the tariff board.
Ex-senator George Chamberlain,
Oregan. a Democrat, is certain to re-
ceive a minority appointment to the
shipping board.
Cabinet Must Fill Most. g.
Harding will leave the filling Of
thousands of postmasterships and mi
nor appointiVe positions to cabinet
members.
The big diplomatic appointments are
expected within a short time. Many
of the lesser diplomatic appointees will
be allowed to remain at their posts. 1t
is understood, it being Harding's pur-
pose to recognize ability in the Dip
lomatic staff.
Meanwhile, the White House today
with its gates open for the first time
Since war was declared, presented an
eld-time picture. Hundreds roamed
over the lawn and thru the corridors.

Wall St., New York, March 5.-STOCKS-
Today's session of the stock exchange was
extremely dull, dealings dwindling to the
smallest total Of any week end session so
far this year. There was a moderate in
quiry for American Wooden and Steel

Chemical preferred stocks. Rails were firm
under lead of Reading and some of the
railway equipments also strengthened. The
closing was steady despite reactions IN
General Asphalt and few other favorites.
Sales Appropriated $50 600 shares.
Price movements were narrow and uncer-

ASK ST PER DAY
Senate Also Favors Legislative
Session of 100 Days.
Upper House Kills COmpensa-
ton Bill.

The senate, Friday afternoon, took
only short time to assure the adj
ministration forces that it meant what
it said when it killed the compensa-
ton bill Wednesday. and meant the
bill to stay dead. The vote against
reconsideration of the bill was 81 to
IL. t
The senate also voted down the
resolution providing for the submis-
sion of an amendment to the state
constitution which would have made a
three-fourths vote of a jury, legal
decision. Much of the responsibility
for the death Of the resolution was
due to the address made by Senator
Finley, a former probate judge, who
believes heartily in the unanimous
verdict system.
But the senators decided that they
would favor the submission of an
amendment which would give them ST
a day as pay, and which would extend
the legislative session to 100 days in
stead of fifty. The senate wasn't
unanimous in favoring the higher pay
however. Senator Coleman, among
others, declared that he believed that
a better class of men could be secured
for the state legislature at So day
than at 81 day, and urged the dan
ger of making the legislative job at
tractive from a financial point of view,
to any class of men.
Amendments were proposed to the
resolution, and discussed, which would
have operated to give the legislators
the same pay for a shorter session, the
same pay for a longer session, and
higher pay for a shorter session. Sem
ator Fisher, of Shawnee county, was
one of the ardent advocates, of a short
er session than the present one of
fifty days.
Senate Favors Higher Pay.
But the resolution finally passed the
senate in its original form, and will
be n,essaged today to the house.
The FrizeI anti-gamb1ing bill, pro-
vicing against trading in futures On
farm products, was reported out fo:'
passage by the senate committee on
agriculture, in whose hands it has been
while the senate waited to see what
would happend to the Capper measure
in the national congress.
The annual appropriation for the
Kansas Free Fair at Topeka-$15,0 900
was recommended for passage by the
senate ways and means committee dur
ing the afternoon session.
The senate, at its night session, voted
to concur in the house amendments to
the dormitory bill, which makes a di-
rect appropriation of 100000 for the
building of dormitories for girls at the
state institutions, instead of a bond
issue of S1,000,000, which had been
proposed in the original bill.
