the not far distant future is 500. There
are a large number of young people
in the church who are taking an ag
gressive interest in its affairs. Thirty
young people both young men and
young women compose the chorus,
which is said to be one of the best, if

Chard History. '
The Third Presbyterian church was
organised more than a quarter of a
century ago by the Rev. Mr. J. W.
Crawford. Dr. F. & McCabe, formerly
pastor of tbe First church, succeeded
him. The old atone church near the
Santa Fe shops stands aa a monument
to the good work done by these two
men and the members of the con
gregation in the early history of the
church. Mrs. Crawford Is still a real
dent of Topeka and a member of the
Third church and two daughters re
side here Miss Grace Crawford with
her mother, and Mrs. George Flint
ham. Mrs. FUntham Is particularly
acitve In the work of the church.
Dr. McCabe. who served as pastor
of the church for seven years, was one
of the best known and beloved of any
clergyman In the history of Topeka.
Father CHI Ids, now residing In Oak
land, succeeded Dr. McCabe. It was In
the pastorate of the Rev. Mr. M. C.
Long who followed Father Child, that
the present church building was con
structed. .
Other pastors of the church have
been the Rev. H. G. Fonken. Dr. w. J
Hatfield, the Rev. W. M. Cleveland,
and the Rev. Jay Carroll Everett. The
Rev. E. Irwin Gilmore, B. D- has oc
cupied the pulpit for more than a year.
Under the pastorates of the Rev. Mr.
Long and the Rev. Mr. Cleveland the
church grew rapidly. A substantial
growth has been made In the last year.

The Women's Missionary society

Administer to the Sick.
A unique system has been instituted
with a view to more efficiently ad

membership. There are 17 capable

highly satisfactory. The sick are cared

"We'll clean up on that deal "
The above are samples of snatches
of conversation that can be heard al
most any night, and Saturday night
especially, at the transfer station on
the southwest corner of Eighth ' and
Kansas avenue. Like as is often said
of a certain corner in Paris, if you
wait there long enough, you will see
every one you know.
And this Is especially true at this
season, when every one has returned
from vacations and social and busi
ness life is in full swing. For going
to and from business and pleasure the
majority ef people must pass the sta
tion, the central point of all street
car meetings.
If you want to see some one you
haven't seen for weeks. Just stand to
night at the station for a while and
it is an auto against an ox cart that
your party will pass. However, even
if you are not waiting have no
"date" as young people say now days
the time will repay you for the ob
servation of human nature afforded.
Democracy.
It is a democratic place. Lime
stained overalls stand side by side
with creased tailor mades. And the
wearers are wont to express opinions
as to the war. The shawl over the
head lines up with the silk and boas,
all types, and ages, all walks of life
are represented almost any hour in
the evening. Tragedy and comedy
walk side by side.
And tonight. Saturday night, this is
remarkably true. For this is tne time
when the streets are filled with the
ater and shopping crowds, jennie
and her beau must take the car and
go down town to the motion picture.
Ma and pa must buy cnicKens zor
Sunday dinner; and Miss Quality must
needs motor down to look at the
styles. Invariably In street car and
auto they will pass by the street car
station.
The crowds began to crowd tne side
walk nVinut 7:30 - o'clock. While as
all circumstances are represent
ed for the most- Dart it is. a wen
dressed crowd, and the faces are all
fairly. If not more than the average
intelligence. Strangers, and particu

Saturday Night Crowd
Well, anyway, our people on Satur

arroun of students alight. Their talk
is books, lessons and amusements. A
car from Tenth street comes. And a
couple of grave faced persons will
mention "operation" and "chances for
recovery."

The boy puts his arm, on which the

"Mighty glad to see you, ma. How's

Tap, Tap, Tap on Pavement
Eight o'clock The sidewalk is now

feet on the pavement make a rhythm
of civic live. The theater crowds,
groups and two by two, laughing and
commenting, head for the various pic
ture houses and theaters.
"Well, of all people! Where have
you been all this time?" Alice Smith

Thlrty-flve Ksnsans Take Correspond
ence Course In Road Building.
There are SS Kansana learning how
to build roads In Kansas through cor
respondence courses. Last spring the
board of administration announced
that with the opening of the present
school term it would offer a course in
road building by mail. The road
engineer at the Agricultural college
would get up a series "of lectures,
drawings and maps, showing the best
methods of grading and maintaining
different roads. Kansas has so much
variety in soil formation that the cor
rect way of building a dirt road in
one locality does not fit another lo
cality at alL
The course was prepared during the
summer months and in the first two
weeks In which it has been offered 5
have enrolled and are doing the reg
ular work required of students In the
extension division. . Practically all of
the students in the course are active
road builders at the present time.
They are road overseers in their own
townships and have charge of the
road building work around their
homes.
In addition to the general features
of .the course the students are permit
ted to submit special problems that
A Message To Thin,
Weak, Scrawny Folks
An Easy Way to Gain 10 to SO lbs. of
Solid, Healthy, Permanent Flesh -
Thin, nervous, undeveloped men and
women everywhere are heard to ay "I
can't understand why I do not get fat.
I eat plenty of good, nourishing food."
The reason is just this: You cannot get
fat. no matter how much you eat, unless
your digestive organs assimilate the fat-maki-g
elements of your food instead of
passing them out through the body as
waste.
Whet Is needed is a means of gently
urging the assimilation functions of the
stomach and intestines to absorb the
oils and fats and hand them over to the
blood, where they may reach the starved,
shrunken, run-down tissues and build
them up. The thin person's body la- like
a dry sponge eager and. hungry for the
fatty materials of which it is being de
prived by the failure of the alimentary
canal to take them from, the food. The
best way to overcome this sinful waste
the leakage of fats is to use Sargol. the '
recently discovered regenerative force
tnat is recommended so highly by phy
sicians here and abroad. Take a little
Sargol tablet with every meal and notice
how quickly your cheeks fill out and
rolls of firm, healthy flesh are deposited
over your body, covering each bony
an.le and projecting point. Arnold Drug
Co.. 63 Kansas avenue, and other good
rugglsts have Sargol. or can get it from
their wholesaler, and will refund your
mon If you are not satisfied with the
gain in weight It produces as stated on
the guarantee In each package. It Is In
expensive, easy to take and highly ef
ficient. CAUTION: While Sargol has produced
remarkable results In overcoming nerv
ous dyspepsia and general stomach
troubles, it should not be taken unless
you are willing to gain ten pounds or
more, for it is a wonderful flesh-builder.
Adv.
J. F. Jarrell, of Topeka, publicity
agent of the Santa Fe, addressed
meeting of the Brotherhood of the
Methodist Episcopal church at Ottawa
last night. His subject was "The Mis
sion of the Railway." He told the peo
ple of Ottawa about the Santa Fe and
its policy, its co-operation with the
persons along the system.
. "The mission of the railway," the
speaker said, "is to serve the public
a mission not unuke that of the news
paper, or the store, or the factory. Any
business man will admit that the bet
ter he knows his customers the easier
it is to do business with them. The
Santa Fe learned this great truth
good while ago. and its officials strive
to increase their acquaintance among
patrons. Thus they are able to im
prove the. relationship between the
company and the public, because the
personal contact, and good fellowship
which necessarily follows, give each
an opportunity to study the other's
problems, and adjust differences in a
manner much more satisfactory than
under the old system by which the
railroad official and the patron met
as strangers. Almost every difference
that comes up between a railroad and
a patron can be Ironed out when the
railroad man and the patron talk the
case over calmly, and in a spirit of
fairness.
' The Market Problem.
"The market problem is bigger than
the transportation problem," Mr. Jar
rell said. "For many years the people
thought that the way to solve every
problem in life was to reduce freight
ratea, Well, the rates have been re
duced about as far as they can go, if
the railroads are to be kept out of the
hands of receivers, and yet the same
old problems confront us. Prices of
all commodities have soared lately
except freight rates. The people are
beginning to realise that freight rates
don't make so much difference after
all. Many sins have been committed
In the name, of freight rates. When
crop prices are unsatisfactory; investi
gation generally shows that the trou
ble Is with the markets, not with the
freivht rates."
War Hits Railroads.
The speaker said that the increased
cost of living es a result of the Euro
pean war hilt the railroads the same as
it did the people, but that the railroads
would suffer more than any other busi
ness. "Every merchant, manufacturer,
and farmer pays more for the thing he
has to buy for the operation of his
business including labor, that he used
to pay, . and he -evens up by raising
prices," the speaker argued. "When
the business man seeks to adjust him
self to the high cost of living, nobody
objects, nor does he have to ask any
body's consent. . He just slaps on a few
per cent increase, and lets it go at that.
"But the railroad that's different.
When it wants to raise the price of the
only thing it has to sell transportation
it must ask permission from a com
mission, and before the request can be
considered there is a protest from eve
rywhere against the proposed increase.
Increased cost of construction, in
creased cost of operation, increased
cost of maintenance, all aie admitted
facts, but the price of transportation
must not be changed, unless it be low
ered. This is burning the candle at
both ends, and soon there will be no
candle, at the rate it is burning. The
santa re, witn Its 11.000 miles of rail
road operated in thirteen states, em
ploying 70,000 people, is, I believe, re
garded in Ottawa and generally
throughout the southwest as an im
portant concern, and its service to Its
patrons is considered to be high class;
but the Santa Fe candle is burning at
both ends the same as the candle
which represents the railroad Industry
throughout the United States. Look
ing over a list of more than a hundred
commodities used by the Santa Fe I
was unable to find a single item that
had not increased in pre. in the last
few months. Railway taxes are going
up at a rapid rate. The Santa Fe now
is paying more than $15,000 a day in
taxes. And with all of our other trou
ble we are accountable to twenty-eight
regulating bodies, to say nothing of the
various courts and innumerable muni
cipalities which occasionally take a
whack at us. The regulating bodies
are 13 railway commissions, thirteen
state legislatures, congress and the in
terstate commerce commission.
