Out at Hillcrest, Topeka's tubercu-
losis sanatorium, two little boys lie
strapped to convex frames, so curved
that their heads drop far back of their
shoulders. All day and all night they
lie, 3-year-old Jimmy, who has a
tubercular spine, and Anastafius, who
is a hunchback. 1t isn't very COM
Portable, you know, but when one has
had a poor, def rmed little body for
all ones life, another discomfort more
or less, must be endured sto:cally-
Perhaps it is easier to bear when
they think of how they really are get
ting well and that some day they will
be, as other children are-that they
can even stand on their own two feet,
for neither has ever done that.
When AnastafiuS came to Hillcrest
his legs were drawn up under him
tightly and his back was hunched. He
could not speak word of English,
and he didn't know anyone and for
days he cried and cried. But now he
can speak little English; he can al
most stretch those twisted little limbs
out straight. Some day, with the help
of that torturing Bradford board, he
will even have a straight back,
Jimmy had a badly diseased spine,
and he could not hold up 3is head. If
some one sat him up straight his head

Chicago, Nov ga woman's full
length chamois colored glove, found
near the body of Joseph ("Handsome
Joe') Lanus wealthy automobile
dealer, shot to death in his sales room
and garage last night, today provided
the police with the theory that Ianus
may have been the victim of a, Jealous
rival in a love affair.
Handsome joe" reputed to be
worth 100000 was shot from be-
hind. Two bullets from his automatic
pistol had been fired from close range
into his back.
Other theories upon which the
police were working today were:
1. That the murder was due to a
business quarrel.
2. That it was a case of mistaken
identity because of the victims re-
semblance to twin brother.
Miss Alice McArdle, for four years
the slain mans bookkeeper and con-
fidential secretary, was questioned by
the police this morning. Immediate-
ly afterward the police began aSsearch
for a mysterious man and for num-
erous women with whom Miss Nc

untfernourished and weak, AMI there
seemed to be small chance for Jimmy.
But there was There always is at
HiIcrest. He can almost hold his
head up straight now. And he has
been fed and fed and fed until his
little face is as round as the letter O.
Anastafius and Jimmy are getting
well, thanks to Hillcrest. From this
hospital for tubercular people, two
children are going to get their chance
in life, a chance which might never
have been theirs. 1t is the same
chance which Hillcrest is giving to
many others, in many cases totally
without pay.
But bills have been mounting. The
special foods, the care of the nurses,
the coal, the laundry, all cost
enormously. There is not near enough
money at hand to take the sanatortum
thru the year. And without the sana-
forum the Jimmies and the Anasta-
fuses are going to find life very very
hard.
So you are being asked to help out
A campaign for $25.00 is being made
this week by three organizations in
town, and Hillcrest is taking part.
What you give will perhaps save a life
and a life is a very precious thing.

OUTSIDE SCHOOLS WANT IN
Topeka 'Dime Opera" Season Attracts
Topeka Territory.

A policy of swelling the gate re-
ceipts by cutting the price, even to
the extent of offering a high class or
chestra concert for ten cents admis-
sion, has been carried to a successful
conclusion here. By this method
thousands of Topeka school children
are becoming connoisseurs of classical
music.
The first number on the ten cent
concert" course proved the success
of the experiment, promoters of the
undertaking say, for there was total
attendance at the afternoon and eve
ming entertainments of 6,45S persons.
All children who had tickets for the
concert in the afternoon were per-
mitted to leave the school rooms at
$3.50 O'Clock, and the delegation from
each school was accompanied by
teachers. The evening entertainment
was for adults.
Before the afternoon concert each
teacher instructed the pupils in the
names of THE musicians, instruments,
and the selections to be played. Many
of the pupils were familiar with the
names of classical selections thru a
music memory contest conducted in
the public schools a year ago. Then
at the concert the director explained
each instrument to- the pupils and in
troduced each musician.
Since the first performance recently,

wheat, sunflower seed and millet in

nests during the day.
Each little cage is supplied with
tin coffee can, with a hole cut in the
side, and plenty of paper scraps from
which to make nests. A tiny runway
leads down from the can to floor OF
the box. DESTROYS of inspecting the

the cover from the coffee tin, and

On a tract of pine timber of 20 to 30

The lines of the tract can easily be

neighbors say the trees have been dead
for years The story goes that SIX
years ago a white man who owned prop
ertv adjacent to the land of ar old
colored man made survey of his
land and in the survey ran the line so
as to include the tract referred 10
above. The old colored man remcn-
strated, but TO no avail. The white man
established his lines. The colored man
told the white man that the land he
had robbed him of would never do him
any good. The coIored man said he
could not 20 to law but he could call

"Those pains around your heart

source. Your fingers. arms and

stricts circulation in various parts

relieve this condition is to take
