The second is for economy. The price of vegetables and every other ar icle of food is still soaring and plenty of home-raised vegetables will be one of the means of bringing it down. "In some parts of the country, especially in large congested cities, there are movements, whose purpose it is tq see that vacant lots are not left idle the whole year round, but rather that some one. is allowed to grow on them, during the ummer, table vegetables. Then there is another town and city movement that would turn the unsightly back yards that are idle or used largely for rubbish heaps, Into vegetable gardens.

These movements real- not only the 'value and necessity of vegetables in the dally food, how essential they are to health, to efficiency and to economy, but how with a little foresight and energy there could be so many more vegetables raised which would be a saving of thousands of dollars, as well as a great factor in reducing the high cost of living.

The formal declaration has riot been made, the district congressman said, but that is all and that probably will be made just as soon as an armed American merchantman and a German submarine meet.

A Meeting Means War. "The only thing that prevents action between American ships and those of belligerent nations is the fact they haven't met. Congressman Campbell said. "If they meet, they will fire on sight submarines on bur ships and our ships on the submarines." The great middle west is patriotic, and will prove itself- so in time of stress, Campbell continued. The patriotism of the west will not be based on profits from war munitions, but will sacrifice as much, or more, than the promoters of strife who are growing rich off the war and war sfcares.

"I have been and am incensed at statements in the eastern press that the middle west is not patriotic," declared. "There never has been a time, and never will be, when the middle west will not its patriotism. When the first shot is fired, there will be be but one national sentiment, but one people.

"Work at home is beneficial, but child labor of the sort referred to prevents the physical, mental and moral development of the child. It is contrary to the order' of nature. Even fowls and wild animals supply food and shelter to their young until they are able to do for themselves.

Only man seems to be selfish enough to enrich himself at the expense of immature, undeveloped children.

In the richest country on earth, hundreds of thousands of children are literally damned to lifelong, helpless and debasing, poverty.

Because of Mr. Davis long experience as state auditor and the large opportunity offered him in that capacity to acquaint himself with the different institutions of the state, I felt that he would make an especially valuable man to conduct this survey.

I WE ARE TRYING TO DO THIS FOR TOPEKA PEOPLE MAN WHO BURNED FLAG It pleases me very much to recommend Swamp-Root to anyone suffering from Kidney or Bladder trouble.

For a great many years my Kidneys and Bladder were bothering me so I could not raise myself in bed; had sharp shooting pains that were almost unbearable. After trying many doctors and many kinds of medicines, one day noticed Swamp-Root advertised in a drug store window; I went in and purchased a large bottle. It was surprising how quick it improved my health. I used Swamp-Boot for about a month and was entirely restored to health. This was nearly ten years ago and I have never had a return attack of Kidney trouble.

My children when young were troubled with weak kidneys; with annoying symptoms at night. I gave them Swamp-Root and it was the only thing that restored them to health.
