MISS CAMERON HERE DEC. 9
Proceeds From Recital Go to Aid
Devastated France.

Dudith Cameron, who comes to the
auditorium on December 9 to give a
recital for the benefit of the American
Committee for Devastated France, Is
sent to Topeka by Mrs. Cora G. Lewis.
of Kinsley, Kan, who is chairman of
that committee.
Miss Cameron is an American girl
and one of the few Americans who
studied under Blanche Marchesi.
MisN Dameron's success abroad was
acclaimed by the press in many cities;
but it was in Milan that Miss Cameron
received such an ovation that Signor
GaIlassi, the conductor, had to lay
down his baton and wait until the
public had finished paying homage to
the impersonator of VioIetta, in
Verdi's La Traviata.
Shortly after this wonderful sue
cess came the war, and then Miss
Cameron gave up her operate career
and took up war work and as has
been told served as a nurse in the Ital-
ian hospitals and later going to France
and giving her services there.
During the month of December Miss
Cameron viii give her services to the
committee in order that funds might
be raised to continue the work of re-
building France, and not one cent is
Miss Cameron claiming for her
services.
There will be no charge for admis-

Thousands Now Using New
Scientific Cold Remedy
With Most Astonishing
and Gratifying Results.
RESULTS FROM USE
ALMOST IMMEDIATE
Druggists Instructed to Re-
fund Money In Every In

Results Are Not Obtained
After First Few Doses.

The next time you have a cough or
cold, go to your nearest drug store and
ask for a bottle of KurokOl. Have the
clerk open it on the spot. take a tea
spoonful, repeat the dose in an hour
and aga n the second hour. If you are
not surprised and delighted with the
results, then go back to your druggist
and he will refund your money with
out question. Kurokol is manufac-
tured by a million-dollar corporation,
composed of successful, level-headed
business men, and the fact that they
are willing to stand back of every
bottle sold is convincing evidence of
their absolute confidence in the prep
aration.

Slump in Freight and Passenger

Take Action.
OPERATING EXPENSES REDUCED
Revenues Much Smaller During
Last Several Weeks.
Low Markets Are Holding Back

A slackening Of business which be-

October and has continued since, is
causing some of the railroads to again

especially, had shown a notable in
crease between July l and October.
While reports state all of the rail-
roads are again being forced to re-
trench by cutting their payrolls, it was
stated at the office of General Man
ager Fred c. Fox, today, tnat no re-
duction order had been placed into
effect by the Santa Fe. Some reduc-
ton has been made in track mainte-
nance forces, it was admitted, but no
more than is natural ana customary
with the advent Of cold weather.
Rock Island Forces Reduced.
With the Rock Island, however, it
was officially stated, today, that a
reduction in both the maintenance
and clerical forces had been made by
that company, and the Union Pacific
announces a similar reduction The
reductions are general, it was said,
and have been felt locally by each of
these roads. Poor business, making 1t
necessary to reduce operating ex-
penses, was given as a reason for the
action.
A. Lusk. local Rock Island agent
said the latest reduction amounted to
approximately 10 per cent from nor
NAL when compared with the general
reduction in working forces of 20 per
cent on that line last February. Dur
ing the summer when business picked
up heavily for short time approxi-
mately three-fOurthS of the employees
dropped in February were taken
back, and now comes a cut which
agan eliminates about q third of the

KUROKOL NOW HAVING
ENORMOUS SALE HERE

gan the study of medicine have real
lied the great need of a more efficient
method of treating Colds, Bronchitis,
Group in children, and kindred dis
orders The trouble has been that
most people invariably treat the symp-
toms and not the cause. Most people
nowadays, when they have a cold sim
ply take Aspirin. Plain Aspirin never
did and never will cure a cold. 1t re-
lieVes the symptoms mOmentarily and
alleviates only. Others take nauseous
doses of quinine and violent purga-
tives, which often upset the system to
such an extent that the treatment is
worse than the disorder. Still others
use cough rem edies and expectorants,
which afford only temporary relief.
My new formula Kurokol, not
only relieves the symptoms. but the
cause as well. It is a combination
treatment, and acts as an antipyretic,
which reduces the fever and relieves
the feeling of distress and discomfort;
an expectorant which loosens the
phlegm, relieves congestion and stops
the cough; a laxative, which opens the
bowels. and an antiseptic, which re-
tardS germ growth and checks the
spread of the infection. Those who
have taken Kurokol find it difficult to
describe the wonderful feeling of re-
lief and exhilaration they experience.
The volatile parts of the solution
penetrate deep down into the air pas
sages. The head is unstopped, sneez-
ing. shifting and coughing usually
cease at once, and headache and other
distressing symptoms almost inVari-
ably disappear with the first few doses.

This new scientific discovery is rap
idly becoming the sensation of the
drug trade, thruout the United States
and Canada, and thousands are now
using it with the most astonishing and
gratifying results.-Adv.

DISTRICT COURT

The following cases were tried in
the district court Friday before
Judge Charles C. Hommann:.
A judgment of $40 was awarded
the PLAINTIFF in the case of Edward
Robertson VS.. A. V. Casner, on con-
tract. Robertson was represented
by Jacob S. Karkus.
In the case of Edward Bonham
vs.. Nellie Phillips, on contract. a
judgment in favor of the plaintiff
a made for $3.50.
The case of John and Julia 10th
VS.. Mary Dunda terminated in volu-
tary non-suit.
The frs attempt on the part of a
dog to bite a person is not construed
as ~viciousness, according to the re-
suit of the case of Frank Molnar vs.
John Pasco, which ended in non
suit.
1t was claimed by the plaintiff
that on March 81, he was walking
along Catherine street and arriving
in front of the residence of Pasco
he was attacked and bitten severely
by two vicious dogs. The suit of
clothes worn by Molnar was badly
damaged by the attack. The plain
tiff, it was alleged, was confined to
ms ped Tor several lays as the re-
suit of the incident and sued for
$500 damages. In view of the fact
that the plaintiff was unable to
prove that previous attacks had
been made by the dogs, and that
the law provides that the first bite
by a dog is not q vicious act, the
case was dismissed. George KEN
eny represented the plaintiff and
Leo Goldberger was attorney for
the defendant.
