in the Traffic World.
The Mississippi basin, particularly the
Missouri valley portion of it, will fur
nish by far the largest percentage of
visitors to the Panama-Pacific exposi
tion at San Francisco next year. That
is the opinion of J. A. Stewart of To
peka, general passenger agent of the
Bock Island.
"The California fair will depend al
most altogether on the middle class
people of the great central valley," Mr.
Stewart said today. "There will be a
large number of tourists from the East
who will attend, but the volume of busi
ness will be between the Rocky moun
tains and Chicago and St. Louis.
"The receipts for the fair will be
laragely made up of the savings of peo
ple in the central part of the country.
Thousands, hundreds of thousands of
people have been gradually saving
money for several years to enable them
to go to the fair. There are big num
bers of Kansas farmers who will take
their families. It Is an exceptionable
opportunity for the salaried city man to
So to California. A large per cent of
salaried men and women in western
cities will go to San Francisco for their
vacations.
"I see no reason why a tremendous
business should not go to the coast next
year," Mr. Stewart continued; "the San
Francisco fair will be one of the mar
vels of the world and no other fair that
has ever been held will rank up with It.
The electrical features are dazzling.
There is the 'tower of Jewels,' with
four hundred thousand colored electric
globes and the tower is four hundred
feet high. The architecture is beautiful.
It is now nearly finished."
The business at present is picking up,
according to Mr. Stewart. Local busi-

ness is fine for the railroads, but
through traffic just at present is rather
quiet. No one can now make an ac

but present conditions indicate that the

will be much greater than ever before.
TICKET SELLING TALKS.
Magazine for Ticket Agents Popular
on Santa Fe.
The passenger department of the
Santa Fe in Topeka is getting out a
little magazine monthly for the agents
along the lines of the system. In this
publication its news of interest to
agents is printed. Announcements
that might be helpful in getting busU

A. D. Morford of Topeka. advertis

interesting paper. It is published un

general passenger agent.
ELIMINATE CAR THEFTS.
New Method Employed Makes It Dif
ficult to Open Shipments.
The Santa Fe Railway company's
campaign to eliminate the causes of
loss and damage has made greater
progress in doing away with causes
of the former than of the latter. The
item known as concealed loss, that is,
loss not readily detected, has been re
duced close to the minimum, it is be
lieved by Santa Fe officials.
The concealed loss item largely has
been the result of theft. Containers
made of wood and of sufficient
strength to stand a freight train haul,
often are built after a plan that is a
delight to the car thief's heart. All
the thief has to do is to push a panel
in with his foot, extract a muff or
other piece of property, as shown in
the accompanying illustration, and
of "California Syrup of Figs" as a
physic. Don't think you are drugging
yourself or your children, because this
delicious fruit laxative can not cause
injury. Even a delicate child can
take it as safely as a robust man. It
is the most harmless, effective stom
ach, liver and bowel regulator and
tonic ever devised.
Tour only difficulty may be in get
ting the genuine; so ask your druggist
for a 50 cent bottle of "California
Syrup of Figs." Say to your druggist,
"I want only that make by the 'Cal
ifornia Fig Syrup Company.' " This
city has many counterfeit "fig syrups,"
so watch out. Adv.

into the end of the loose panel, as
shown on the piece of paper in the

The Santa Fe's modern method is
to have a metal strap placed around j
each end of the box, and in addition,
have the box corded and sealed. Then
if it be tampered with, inspectors can

without delay.

More Than Handred Kansas
Towns Are Represented.
Lawrence, Kan., , Oct. . 7. Mayors
from more than one. hundred Kansas
towns arrived here today to attend the
sixth annual convention of the Kwnsw
League of Municipalities.
Peter Witt, street railway commis
sioner of Cleveland, will make the
principal address at the opening ses
sion. C. W. Green, mayor of K'Tiwt
City, Kan., president of the league;
R. J. Higgins, city attorney of Kansas
City, Kan., and Fred Trigg, of the
Kansas City Star, are also on the pro
gram. Garbage disposal, pavements, city
planning and municipal ownership are
among the subjects to be discussed at
the convention.
A feature of the session today was
gates from the cities represented told
of the progress made in their com
me roil can oi municipalities. Dele-
munities and exchanged ideas as to
municipal methods and problems.
The city of Lawrence and the Uni
versity of Kansas are joint hosts to the
convention.
Opening Address.
"Kansas as a common wealth, as an
aggregation of individuals, is the most
efficient wealth producing community
man for man that there is in the
United States." declared Dr. Frank
Strong, chancellor of the University of
Kansas, in addressing the meeting.
"This is true largely because it so nrn-
tects its growing generataions and the
general life of its communities as to
prevent the enormous economic loss
from low moral standards and sinister
influences that prey upon the youth of
a community.
"It is good business to have the com
munity morally clean. In the future
it is going to be plain to all of the
governing bodies of our cities that good
business requires not only a well kept
town, good paving, good sewers, and
good fire and police regulations, but
citizens that shall prevent the ineffi
ciency and economic waste that comes
from an unsound and inadeauate, moral
and religious life."
TO APPLE GROWERS.
Kansas Superior Crop Undersells Colo-
rada Product Because of Packing.
Manhattan, Kan., Oct. 7. Kansas
apples, which are superior in taste and
appearance to apples from Colorado,
are selling for an average of a dollar
a bushel as compared with two dollars
a box for the inferior Colorado apples.
The reason for this difference is the
pack, believes F. S. Merrill, assistant
in horticulture at the , Kansas State
Agricultural college. .
The Kansas apple crop is marketed
in bulk.. The grower, makes no, at
tempt to grade the apples nor to pack
them. Naturally they, will not sell so
quickly as the even -sized, well packed
Colorado apple. It will-pay the apple
grower to grade an' back His apples.
The apples should1 " W; graded and
packed into three 'grades, "extra
fancy," composed of 'perfect speci
mens of high color; "fancy," compos
ed of perfect specimens but below,
standard in color; "O grade," com
posed of all marketable apples not lit
the other grades.
The "box pack" is preferred to
packing in barrels as it does not tempt
the grower to put the inferior apples
where they cannot be found. It pays
to pack these three grades of apples
in boxes. The boxes, should be lined
with paper and the apples packed
either straight or diagonally. Is the
straight pack, the apples are placed
parallel to the sides and ends of the
box. In the diagonal pack the rows
run diagonally to the sides of the box.
The apples should be placed so that
the stems are outward both at the
top and at the bottom of the box.
The most important thing to re
member in packing apples is to pack
the fruit firmly. If "the pack" is
loose, the apples will be bruised. Kan
sas apples can easily compete with
Colorado apples for the high prices,
if the growers will prepare the fruit
to ' enter the competition on equal
terms. ":
BARS GRAPE JUICE.
W. J. Bryan at Last ' Sickens of His
Famous Drink..
Washington, r. C. Oct.. 7. Secretary
of State Bryan has placed a ban on
grape juice, the drink he helped make
famous. Finding grape juice at his
plate at all functions to which he has
been invited, and grape juice in cases,
the gift of admiring friends, piling up
in his cellar, and making its way al
most daily to his table, the secretary's
stomach finally rebelled.
This, his friends say, explains why
''"Villa Sorrento limeade," made from
fruit picked from the secretary's sum
mer home in Florida, was dedicated at
the diplomatic luncheon he gave the
other day as the new Bryan soft drink.
But the secretary is not looking for
contributions of limeade. His grape
juice experience demonstrated to his
satisfaction that, whatever may be its
effect in other kinds of drinks, a cer
tain mixing of soft drinks is demanded.
Itheims Still Under-;. Fire.
London, Oct. 7. A dispatch to the
Times from Epernay, France, dated
October 3, says the northeastern sub
urbs of Rhelms are still under Ger
man shell fire, which is doing consid
erable damage. The shells apparent
ly are intended for the French bat
teries in position just . outside the
town. The panic among the inhabi
tants, the dispatch says, has been in
creased through the action of German
aeroplanes which are dropping bombs
containing a high explosive in an at
tempt to destroy the railway station.
So far this place has not been dam
aged but refugees report that four
teen persons were killed by one of
the bombs.
Lord Cowdray's Son Killed.
London, Oct. 7. The Express today

tractor and financier,- has been killed

cycle dispatch bearer with the army

torcyclist was captured by . Uhlans
who were attacked by the allies. Pear
son and his companion made a dash
for liberty and were fired on by the
Germans. Pearson was bit and died
instantly.

Kow Has New Growtti of Hair.
Tells How He Bid It.
A western politician, well known on
account of his baldness and ready wit,
surprised his friends by appearing
with a new growth of hair. Many of
his old friends did not know him and
others thought he had a wig. On be
ing asked how he did it, he made the
following statement: "I attribute the
remarkable growth of my hair to the
use of the following simple recipe
which any lady or gentleman can mix
at home: To a half pint of water add
1 oz. of bay rum. a small box of Barbo
Compound and os. of glycerine.
Apply to the scalp two or three times
a week with the finger tips. It not
only promotes the growth ot the hair
but removes the dandruff, scalp hu
mors and prevents the hair from fall
ing out. It darkens streaked, faded,
gray hair and makes the hair soft and
glossy- These ingredients can be pur
chased at any drug store at very little
cost and mixed at home." Adv. . ,
