KANSAS FARMERS ENGAGE
IN OLD-TME WOLF HUNT

Parsons. Kan, Dec. 24.-For the
first time in twenty-five years farm
ers of Southeastern Kansas are plan
ming to hold an old-fashioned wolf
hunt.
A mobilization call for Christmas
Day has gone ont among the farmers
Of Labette County and it is expected
that upward of 100 men will take
part in the hunt.
For some time past the wolves
have been making way With lots of
live stock and fowls in this vicinity.
The farmers declare that it is high
time to call halt on the depredations
Of those night marauders. Several
farmers have reported that they have
seen gray timber wolves stalking
around.
Traps have been used extensively
to catch the beasts, but without any
marked results.

BEFORE HEALTH
BREAKS DOWN
Wise People Take
Pepso-Mangan,
the Blood Builder

The prevention OF sickness is one
OF the greatest works of the public
health authorities. People are be-
ing taught how to take care Of their
bodies so that they can avoid sick
ness. In schools children are being
taught hygiene. Serious illness can
be avoided by proper care of the
health. Pale faces, sickly bodies, loss
of appetite and sleep, headaches and
nervousness are usually signs Of
weak blood. With poor blood. the
body has no resistance.
Disease germs have an easy time
of Il. People are learning the ne
cessity of keeping blood in good con-
dition. They take GUIDES Pepto-
Mangan when they feel run down.
That keeps blood normal so that it
can resist disease. 1t is sold in both
liquid and tablet form at drug stores.

'GAS WAR IS ON
WAY; PREPARED"
Don't Cease Manufacture OF
Poison Fumes, British
Expert Warns. y.

London, Dec. 24.-Instead of dis
mantling their war chemical plants
the world powers should develop to
the greatest extent their ability to
produce dyestuffs and poison gas.
II they do not they face extermi-
nation in the gas clouds of another
great war in which poison gas will be
the most important medium of Of
Tense.
That's the belief OF Mai. Victor Le-
febure. expressed in book he has
just brought out.
Lefeburs Is England's greatest au-
thority on chemical warfare. He
served with a gas unit on the British
front in France. Later he was Brit
ish chemical warfare laison officer.
His statement is directly opposed
to the recommendation of the Ameri-
Can advisory committee at the Wash
ington arms conference that the man.
ufacture Of poison gas be PROHIBITED.
National safety demands strong
organic chemical industries" Lefe-
bure says.
Can't BE Prohibited.
"No convention, guarantee or dis
armament safeguard will prevent an
unschupulous enemy from using poi
son gas.
Especially II that enemy has dis
covered some new powerful agent or
possesses a ready mears of proiue-
ing such chemicals at a moments
notice
"Our chemical industry should be
developed so that when an emergency
develops we shall have the necessary
facilities for supply at hand
Lefebure points 10 gas as the logl-
cal offensive medium Of future wars.
Gas almost had superseded artil-
lery by the close.of the World War,
Lafebure says. In 1918 German guns
were firing so per cent gas and so
per cent high explosives.
The disarmament OF Germany has
been a joke, the British expert de-
clares. Germany has been deprived
only Of her small arms and artillery
her gas facilities remain.
Asrman gas during the World War
was supplied by the Interessenge-
)meis.schaft. a vast combine of chemi-
cal factories.
Since the war that combine sun
exists and It's ability TO produce gas
is as great as It was in the past. The
factories themselves are fiourishing
on peace time dye trade.
