XX yITH the great war in which
wv Poland has won her freedom


still fresh in our memory
we reread with renewed interest the
old-time classic, "Thaddeus of War
saw"
The story takes place. at that grin
era Of history when the little kingdom
of Poland was attacked by Russia and
Austria, and having been defeated I'M
der the leadership Of Kosciusko was
forced to sign the ignominious treaty Of
partition that gave her territory to the
conquerors and wiped her name from
off the roll Of free nations. From that
date until this Poland, as an indepen.
dent country, has not existed.
Jane Porter lived when the shadow
Of this cruel tragedy still darkened
the world, and she penned her ro-
nance of "Thaddeus" only nine years
after Kosciusko had been taken cap
tive and while he was the idol of the
hour.
The noble house of Sobieski was in
tensely patriotic and its loyalty to the
ruling monarch, Stanislaus, led not
only the palatine but his grandson,
Thaddeus, into the fray.
1t was the young mans first glimpse
of war and we see him and his grand
father setting forth to battle In the
highest spirits. Before the boy leaves
home his mother, the Countess
Therese, presents him with a minia-
ture of his father, whom he had pre-
viously supposed to be dead; and a
letter from which he learns that his
unknown parent was an Englishman
named Sackville, who, while a guest
at "Villanow," the SObieski estate,
married Therese and afterward desert
ed her. Since his mysterious disap-
pearance nothing has ever been heard
of him. In the meantime Thaddeus
has been brought up under the name
of Sobieski and has given his word
never to assume any other.
The discovery that he is of English
parentage is happy one, for our
hero's best friend Pembroke Somerset,
is also an Englishman. While travel
ing through Russia for holiday Penn
broke, for the mere adventure OF 1t,
has been persuaded to take up arms
against Poland; and would have per-
ished miserably when wounded In bat
tie had he not fallen into the hands OF
young Sobieski, who, from an impulse
of pity, saves his life and takes him
back to "villanow." Here the stranger
is welcomed with all kindness, and SO
winning is his personality that he
speedily becomes second son In the
home.
When summoned to return to Eng
land he parts from his Polish hosts
with keenest regrets and with the
eager plea that when the war is over
Thaddeus shall visit him In London.
That Poland will be the winner IN
the present struggle, and victorious
peace soon concluded when the friends
shall be reunited, neither doubts. But
no such fortunate result comes out Oh
the war.
Instead, the Polish army is set upon
at every point by superior numbers.
One stronghold after another fails.

THEY SAY
She Is Good Looking and Gay and is

Why is q girl popular? Look a
round and see what a good time the
good-looking ones have all the time.
Men seek them out and ask them to

And notice that It is not the doll-face
type real men like most, but the red
blooded girl with "pep" and happy
good nature. Any girl who is tired
and languid and has poor complex
ion and dull eyes can improve her
condition and be far happier if she
will simply take Guides Pepto-Man-
gan until she has put her blood into
good condition. Red blood means
"full of life" and "full of life" usually
means happiness.
Try GUIDES Pepto- Mangan and see
how much better you feel. Doctors
have used it nearly thirty years for

TO preach the acceptable year OF Tue
Lord. "-4-18-19.
Beyond controversy there runs all
through the Bible as distinct aim of
Gods purpose for Israel the abolition
of poverty, and the establishment of
general social welfare. This is not all,
it is true, but it is prominent part;
and this is part Of the law of God
which Christ came to fulfill. 1t was
the ceremonial law merely and not
the social law which Christ abolished.
The spirit of the entire social law of
the Old Testament is as binding upon
US as upon any member of the Jewish
commonwealth. You all remember
one of the early sermons of Christ in
which He proclaimed His missions
1.-THE spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because He hath anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor; He hath
sent me to heal the broken hearted,
/ to preach deliverance to the captives
and recovering of sight to the blind;

And oh that its truth might be told

new WAGE SCALE
New Minimum for Women To
Be Made by Court.
New Award VIII Probably Be
SO or s1l Per Week.

General hearings involving a new
minimum wage schedule for women
and girls will begin in Topeka March
2S, according to announcement today
by Miss Alice Mcfarland. head of the
welfare division of the industrial
court. Following this hearing a ten
tative order will be made by the court.
A second general hearing will prob
ably be held in May.
Wage hearings at Emporia were
concluded last week. Testimony has
been taken by the industrial court in
a number of towns and cities of the
state affecting local wage and work
ing conditions, as well as cost of liv-
ing. The general hearing in Topeka
will bring a large number of employ
ers and employees before the indus
trial court for final statements affect
ing the tentative order.
Wage Award of SO to $11 Per Week.
Recently it has been rumored that
the industrial court planned wage
awarS of $40 to s11 a week. The well
fare departments estimate of a nee
essary minimum wage of S16-93 a
week was based on conditions existing
nearly a year ago. Reduction in liv-
ing costs since that time is expected to
result in a decided lowering of the
proposed scale of living prices.
