MONTH OF MILD WEATHER
Temperatures During February Were
Normal for March.

Normal temperatures for March
prevailed during February in Topeka
and there were only five days of the
month on which the thermometer got
down to the normal mark for the
month of February. The temperatures
ranged as high as 80 degrees above
the normal for the month, and the
lowest temperature recorded was ~
degrees on the morning Of Febru-
airy 20.
The highest temperature during the
month was 76 degrees, which occurred
on February IA, and is the highest
temperature ever recorded so early in
the season at Topeka.
Not only high temperatures. but a
high percentage of sunshine prevailed
during the month. There was more
sunshine during the month than To-
peka has had in any month since Sep
TENDER, 1920. e--
No real stormy days occurred dur
ing the month. There was a total
snowfall Of .04 inch. But there has
been plenty of moisture for the bene-
fit of the growing crops in the form
the soil at the start of the month, due
to the extra precipitation which oc-
Cured during January.
The total precipitation during Feb
ruary was .23 inch, which is lis
inches less than the normal, and with
three exceptions, the least which has
ever been recorded during the month
Of February.

STOMACH SUFFERERS
Says Indigestion comes from an
excess of hydrOchloric
acid.

A well-known authority states that
stomach trouble and indigestion are
nearly always due to acidity-acid
stomach-and not, as most folks be-
lieve, from a lack of digestive juices.
He states that an excess of hydro
chloric acid in the stomach retards
digestion and starts food fermenta-

in a can, forming acrid fluids and
gases which initiate the stomach like a
toy balloon. We then get that heavy.

tate sour food, belch gas, or have
heartburn, flatulence, waterbrash, or

He tells US to lay aside all digestive
aids and instead, get from any phar
macy four ounces of Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast while it is eff
fervescing. and Furthermore. to con-
tinue this for one week. While re-
lief follows the first dose, it is i'm
portant to neutralize the acidity, re-
move the gas-making mass, start the
liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus
promote a free flow of pure digestive
juices.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and is made
from the acid of grapes and lemon
juice, combined with Ithia and So

PASS FINLEY BILL
Senate Makes the Granting of
Paroles More Difficult.
Application Must Be Approved
by Judge.

The Finley bill which will make It
more difficult to grant paroles to in
mates of the state penitentiary or the
other penal institutions of the state.
and which prohibits such persons from
receiving paroles until they have
served the minimum term of their
sentences, under any consideration,
was passed this morning on third read
ing by the senate.
The bill provides that the applica-
ton for parole must have the approval
of the judge of the court in which SEN
tence was passed. before it can be
granted.
The senate also passed the house
bill which provides that territory adj
jacent to cities of the first class which
is without the city limits of such cities,
may be attached to them for school
purposes
Begin Term in July.
The terms of county superintendent
will begin hereafter on the first Mon
day in July, instead of on the second
Monday in May. according to bill
which has passed the house, and which
the senate passed on third reading to-
day.
The senate ways and means COM
mittee cut the appropriation for a
Ter, the architect of the state Memorial
hall, at Topeka, from $3.50 to 5000.
and the resolution was passed with
that appropriation, as an emergency
measure.
A senate committee has killed the
Satterthwaite bill which makes the
possession of a still. which might be
used for the production of Illicit spirits
or home brew, a crime in Kansas. The
federal agents for the enforcement OF
prohibition, it is alleged, have not been
active in enforcing this clause OF the
federal laws, and there has not been
state law covering the subject. But
the senate committee to which the bill;
was referred thought that the federal
legal machinery was sufficient.
Amend Two Bills.
The senate accepted amendments to
two of their appropriation bills, which
have been tackled on in the house, and
which place restrictions on the admin
sistration of the funds for the Smith
Hughes and the Smith-Lever federal
Vocational education and agricultural
Extension work.
The house committee members be-
,lieye that too much of the money, half
of which comes from the state and
half from the federal treasury, has
been spent in the administration of
the work by the directors, and limited
the amount which may be spent in
directing the fund for vocational edu-
cation, to a total of $4,000 a year. In

Vocational education shall be assisted,

COURT TO DECIDE.
City Commission Approves
Action on Street Car Line.
Petitioners Referred to Court of
Industrial Relations.

The city commission approves of
the action of citizens of the fair
grounds street car line district in petit
that line, but respectfully referred the
citizens petition to the industrial court
in the commission meeting this morn
ing. The city has no jurisdiction in
the matter, the commission stated in
a report made to the citizens.
1t Is Public Utility.
1.-THE street railway is a public util-
ity and hence under the control and
the statement read. I'VE think this
petition should be filed before the in
dustrial court rather than before this
body.
1--WE would not recommend that the
street railway company be required to
take up its track from the street be-
cause this section of the road is very
used, being the only track reaching the
fair grounds. We fully recognize the
merits of the petition requesting the
company to re-instate the service on
this particular part of the line, but
We suggest that the petition be filed
with the industrial court and that the
city then join with petitioners in MAX
ing this recommendation to the indus
trial court on behalf of the city,"
II. C. Root Talks.
Hiram C. Root, resident of the fair
grounds car line, and representing the
petitioners, asked the city commission
after the commissions statement had
been read, if they intended to submit
to the industrial court, allowing the
city's contract with the street car COM
pany to be nullified in such a way"
Should we allow such a court
which is in the hands of the corpora
TONS" Root began, but was silenced
with the protest of City Attorney
Branaman against referring to the in
dustrial court in such a manner.
The city is supporting the petition
of the Eighth street car line petition
ers also before the industrial court al
present asking for reinstatement OF
service on that line.

HAS Been HEALTHFUL WINTER
Physicians Report Very Few Cases of
Sickness This Year.

The universal belief that warm
weather in winter leads to more sick
ness than normal has not proved true
this winter, according to DIR. c. G. Lull
county physician, and DR.. Earle G.
Brown. city health officer. On the
contrary there have been fewer cases
Of colds, grippe and pneumonia than
usual. it was declared
This is attributed to the fact that
the weather has been universally
warm all winter. Few acute changes
in temperature have occurred The
death list has been very low and the
number Of patients handled by the
city has decreased immensely o.
A warning to be careful, however, is
advanced by physicians to the over
enthusiastic. To sit on the grass, even
on the hottest day. is dangerous, for
the ground still contains frost that
will impart colds.
