Why not organize an international baseball league to take the place of the league of nations, and let all disputes be settled "on the diamond? It would give the fans a real chance, and the gate receipts would pfty off the national debts, while no one would be hurt. Let Yap be the first prize.

His mother says all the teachers nad it in for Alfy and was going to him and he wanted to come home and go to work. She thought it better to let him come than stay at school and wade thru the humiliation of being flunked by teachers who did not understand him and picked at him. As soon as his mother finds him a job that isn't so hard it will injure his health he intends to go to work. His mother says he will, but she says he is very self willed and being rather delicate he will break himself down rather than complain if he happens to get a job that is too heavy for, him.

The neighbors are all giving consideration to the wrongs heaped upon Alfy's head at school but none of them seems to think there is anything that can be done about it. A Chicago physical director says people are becoming round shouldered and compulsory training may4e necessary to correct the growing evil. Tom Barker says if somebody will cut the excess off the present tax system people will soon straighten up their shoulders without any compulsory training.

W.

H. McKenzie, -manager of the gas company, says Kansas City will have natural gas for a long time if the supply is conserved right along as it is now. The two, Kansas Citys now use about 13,00000 feet of gas' a day at 80 cents a thousand. When gas was 25 cents a thousand people used' it in furnaces and power plants and wasted it until 85,000,000 feet a day was necessary to meet the demand. All the other cities in the natural gas belt did the same thing and the result was that a good many fields played out and we went without gas most of the winter for three or four years until the government and the companies worked out a plan to conserve the sup ply by limiting its use and educating people in the matter of proper adjustment of stoves and putting up the price.

The animal kingdom gives us fats like cream or butter fat.

The vegetable kingdom supplies corn oil and cocoanut oil. The mineral kingdom furnishes petroleum oil. All these fats arid oils Have their places in supplying the needs of man. But their fields of usefulness are not at all alike. In no way whatever can one be substituted for another, without damage to the human system.

Butterfat is essential to the growth and development of the body. Without it the baby will not thrive. His appetite may be, satisfied, but he will not gain in weight. Bntterfat contains the ail-important "vitamines," without which no growth is possible. Cocoanut oil is useful for the making of.

soap, or for any purpose except supplying the food needs of growing children. It contains no vitamines and, therefore, has no place in the dietary of the child. Petroleum oil is mineral. For this reason it is not. absorbed by the system any more than a pebble would be if it were swallowed.

It has no place as a food, and when it has been used 1n pastry for "shortening," it has been fraudulently used, becatse it has no food value. It seems strange that anyone should use vaseline as a substitute for lard or butter in the making of pies, but this has actually been done. But as a drug or remedy, petroleum has its place in medicine. It has been suggested an endless number of time in this column. When so used, petroleum does not act on the organs or tissues, a castor oil does.

It merely lubricates the intestinal canal. It greases the way so that the fecal stream moves more rapidly. How It's Produced. "Petroleum oil" or "liquid petroleum" is not the same as kerosene oil or coal oil. Once in a while somebody writes me asv follows: "I have taken a tablespoonful of coal oil every night and my constipation is no better." No wonder! Fortunately, no harm can come from this mistake, but, of course, no good can come either.

In the coun try it is not uncommon to take kerosene for a cold. Perhaps it has a vir- true, altho I doubt it But for the relief of constipation, certainly, coal oil ts worse than useless. When the crude petroleum oil is taken from the earth it is submitted to heat. By this process of distillation, the light oils, like naptha and kerosene, are first obtained. With more heat.

the light mineral oil is driven off. Later still, the heavy mineral oil, or "liquid petroleum," 1 is obtained. The last product to result from the distil lation is paraffin. Liquid petroleum is sometimes called "liquid paraffin." It will be seen from this description that "petroleum oil" or "liquid petroleum," as we doctors prescribe it, is not a watery fluid, like kerosene or coal oil, but is a thickj heavy, syruplike product. There are many varieties, the oil being sold under various trade names.

Points to Remember. When taken into the system the oil spreads out over the lining membrane of the intestines, making them slippery and thus facilitating the move ment of the fecal mass. In no sense does it "cure" constipa tion. It does not correct the evils of wrong eating, nor does Jt better the nerve and muscular tone of the patient. It is merely a useful aid and, when taken regularly, will go far to- TNKIN' and BLINKIN' 4fter Billy Bunny and the elejhant left the photograph gallery they traveled along for some time without meeting with any adventure.

All of a sudden a. voice sang from a tree-top "Ker-loo! ker-loo! ker-loo!" "Who's that?" cried the little rabbit. He didn't know, it was a killy-loo bird. Neither did the elephant. "Who are, you?" asked the bunny "I'm Killy-loo, the Rainbow Bird." "My are pink, And my bill 4s blue, 'And my feathers shine With a yellow hue Some people say It is absurd To be such a Many colored bird.

But that's the reason I'll tell to you, They call me the Rainbow Killy-loo "Fly away, you old feathered paintbox!" cried the elephant crossly. All of sudden a green snake glided out of its hole. He took the end of his tail in his mouth and said to the little rabbit "Roll me like a hoop." But Billy Bunny was afraid, so the big elephant picked up the snake and rolled him along, with his trunk for a hoopstick. And this made two little squirrels laugh so hard they fell off a tree right on top of the elephant. Then they began to turn somersaults on his back, and this -made little Billy Bnnny think he ought to do something, so he jumped over backwards and stood on his head.

While all this was going on who should come by but a tin pdedler, who took out a little tin trumpet and began playing lovely dance music. Well, you should have been there. It was splendid.

For three years previous to the establishment of the Tribune, W. T. Yoe was editor of the ShelBy County (Mo.) Herald so that Mr. Yoe has a record of continuous editorship covering fifty-three years.

The Kansas newspaper fraternity knows, loves and honors the Tribune and its founders and joins with them in the celebration of the completion of a half century of community building. Fifty years ago, February 23, the first number of the Howard Courant Ledger was published at Longton by, Adrian Reynolds. Five or six years later the Howard Courant absorbed the Ledger and dates its existence from the original establishment.

Mrs. Thompson is an excellent writer also and is almost as well known over Kansas as her husband.

Fredonia (Kan.) Citizen. Origin of John Doe. John Doe, Jane Doe, Richard Roe are fictitious names which even today are used frequently in legal proceedings, almost invariably referring to the defendant whois known by character an4 occupation, but not by his1 right name. Warrants for John Doe are issuedalmost every day, but in old times both the plaintiff and defendant were frequently so designated and this -happened most often when the authorities brought action against -someone in a case where-, as we call it today, the people" were the prosecuting party. A i- The origin of the expression harks back to the days when violations of, the game and forest laws were far more requen than today, when, particularly in England, the small man owned nothing of the soil while, the fields, woods and tjje meadows surrounding his homestead were the property of the feudal lord.

Venison was a sacred possession in the eyes of the law and venison was the most convenient Ipot of the poacher. Thus John Doe and Jane Doe were accused THE QUARTERS MRS. TICER At Mrs. Ticer's announcement that she had the very place for us, Lillian and I looked up quickly 'You mean a house?" We both spoke once tnen smiled at our owneager- ness. "Do you want a house?" Her frank face shadowed with disappointment.

"I was hoping you'd want to board with us. We've got such a nice place fixed up. I wrote you about it, but I didn't mention your coming, for, of course, I didn't know what plans you had for the summer." "We do wish to board with you for some time," Lillian assured her hurriedly. "Mrs. Graham was just speaking about it.

But eventually she must secure a- house. Suppose you let us look at your rooms." "Just wait until I stir up the fire and put the teakettle on," Mrs. Tcer returned hospitably. "Then we can be talktag with nothing on our minds." She bustled about the stove and kitchen table, making preparations that caused us to look at each other with appreciative anticipation. "We had stewed chicken with biscuits for dinner," she said, looking speculatively into a big yellow bowl, "and we didn't eat more'n half of it.

You see, there's nobody home but me and Sam and Jerry. If you don't mind its being warmed up I could make some fresh biscuits "Stop right there, Mrs. Ticer," Lillian entreated, putting up a warning hand. "I shan't be able to think about rooms or houses if you continue to talk about stewed chicken and biscuits." Quaint Rooms. Mrs.

Ticer laughed appreciatively. "All right. I won't say a single thing more," she said. "Come now and look at the rooms." I glanced at Lillian a bit apprehensively as we followed in Mrs. Ticer's ample wake.

I was not quite sure of Mrs. Ticer's taste in decorating, and I wondered if it would suit either Lillian or me. But as we entered the rooms my spirits rose. Some one had possessed the good sense to leave the quaint old rooms as they had been, simply putting a fresh coat of ivory paint upon the dingy" woodwork, which had once been white, and tinting the rough plastered walls a neutral gray. The raftered ceiling of the big room, which I had so admired the summer before, had been swept of its cobwebs, but the rich duskiness of the wood, product of years of smoke, had not been disturbed by cleaning.

The floors were painted a dark mahogany, and brilliantly colored rag rugs, product of Mrs. Ticer's efficient, OFFERED MADGE AND LILLIAN. never-tiring fingers, were laid upon them. The windows Jnrere curtained with cheap, but spotless white scrim, while the few pieces of furniture just enough for comfort caused me to gasp with delight. I surmised that Mrs.

Ticer must have ransacked the garrets of all her family and acquaintances. There was nothing of unusual value to an antique lover, but they were all at least fifty, years old, nd constructed of the walnut and cherry of which I am so fond. The Drawback. There was only one drawback. Every room of the four, even, the tiny one at the back, had been equipped as a bedroom.

I saw Lillian look speculatively at the big room with the fireplace, and suspected that she as well as I was planning its transformation into a comfortable sitting roomx "How much a week do you wish for us three if you give us this entire wing of four rooms?" I asked. Mrs. Ticer named a sum which I knew would give her a fair return for her labor, but which seemed absurdly small when compared to general summer resort prices. I looked at Lillian questioningly, and she signalled me an unqualified assent. "We'll take them, then," I said promptly, "and we'd only like one change.

Would it be possibto put a couch instead, of a bed in here? We would like to use this room for a sitting room, would we not?" I looked at Lillian for the assent I knew was already oil her lips. "Indeed, yes," Lillian answered, and Mrs. Ticer's response was equally prompt "Sure thing!" she said heartily. "I told Ticer when he was fixin' up the rooms that we ought to fix this up for a parlor, but he said we might get a crowd that would each want a bedroom. Seems tho you can't get a notion thru a man's head once- they make up their minds about a thing.
