In line with this order the surgeon general has transmitted a letter to the state board of administration, in which he says: There will probably be one of those for every thousand troops mobilized and the surgeon general is desirous of making arrangements by means or which the different state hospitals will receive and care for the insane officers Streams of callers continue to visitJ Hoxle. i New ahlssaeat keys' fall Caps new fall shapes, all patterns to match Porter, who has gone Into the coal I business and has a car of coal ready i knlclcers are full cut and many are full lined.

It is evident that when the mental disease existed prior to enlistment or was for other reasons not contracted in line of duty, the cost of $he care of the patient should not be a charge upon the federal government. The cost should be borne by the states. Division surgeons and other commanders will be advised that for each case the question of line of duty is to be carefully considered.

All those in whom insanity was not Incurred in line of duty will be released from military control on a certificate of disability whenever this can be done without danger to himself or to others. It is for the disposal of patients who cannot be releed from military control without danger to themselves or to others that the surgeon general requests your immediate and hearty cooperation. Replying to this Inquiry. Secretary Iee Harrison, of the board of administration, eent the following letter to Washington yesterday: In answer to your circular of September 20, in re care of military Insane, beg to advise that in the spirit of this letter the state of Kansas will be very glad to co-operate with you in matters pertaining to the case of soldiers from Kansas who are in need of treatment in our institutions. Inasmuch as the state laws of Kansas require certain procedure for committing people to state institutions, this letter is to request that such insane persons found enlisted in the United States army and whose in lar work will be done until the ex aminations are commenced on Monday pealed frequently to the president and the secretary of war for a more liberal construction of the agricultural exemption.

Recently when in Washington he took the matter up with the president and the secretary of war and urged them to consider more favorably the claims of young men actually needed on the farms and ranches, and especially young married men whose call to the army would leave their wives and small children objects of charity. Petitioners Come at All Hours. This matter is wholly out of the hands of Governor Capper. He Is willing to do anything in his power for those who for good reasons should be exempt, but he has exhausted every effort, and he can do not more. The general public does not realize the extent of these appeals.

Not only at his office thru the day is the governor receiving these callers, but they go to his home at night, and yesterday morn morning. Nearly all of the cases be fore the board have been disposed of and only a few cases remain where the drafted men have not yet filed all No Mail Orders Filled No Mail Orders Filled theireprooTs on their exemption claims. laxmusG a Members of the board expect to certify several of these cases up to the district board today and will then rest on their oars until the next contingent of 150 men appears for examination I next week.

It appears that draft boardsover the state pay little heed to the president's order, especially to these paragraphs: First, the president desires that "for the most part those accepted in the first call would be found to be men who had not yet assumed such (family) relations." Second, the president explains that "the fact of dependents rather than the fact of marriage" is the basis of exemption; and that "the law does not contemplate exemption" faf "men who TMC IMSTDUMtHT OF QUALITY is done the records will soon be com sheriff of that county, when they may be immediately adjudged insane by the local courts and the state will care for them.

T. Botkln. Points Out That They Will Be Given Real En- tertainment While Here.

Mrs. J. wife of the secretary of state, is anxious that the secretaries of state who will come to To-peka for their national meeting in October should bring their wives along. She thinks the trip to Topeka would be a pleasant outing for the wives of these officials. In a letter sent to the wife of each secretary of state in the forty-eight states of the Union yesterday, Mrs.

Botkln said: The Association of American Secretaries of State will meet in this city October 22. remaining in session three days. Your husband is a member of this association and is expected to be present. The organization has invited the wives of the secretaries to accompany them on this occasion and as the wife of the secretary of state of Kansas I wish to extend you a special invitation to be present. The ladles of this city willglve an afternoon to the visiting ladies and Governor and Mrs.

Capper will give a reception to the secretaries and their wives at the executive residence. The Chamber of Commerce will serve a banquet, provide for automobile trips thru our parks and about our city and aided by our people will do everything possible to make your visit a pleasure. sibility of securing enough. The big says that he ooes not concur in tne view suggested in some quarters, that in case of wife and children actually dependent on an applicant's labor for support, and where there are no other means oX support, the wife should be put to the necessity of going to work to support hersejf and children." Need to Exercise Discretion. Yet In spite of these clear Instructions it seems that some local boards continue to draft men whose wife and child or children depend on them for food, clothes and shelter.

There is an injustice, Governor Capper holds, in the drafting of a young married man on a farm whose wife and children will suffer for the necessaries of life. And, too. he believes that men whose services cannot be dispensed with on the farms and ranches, and who are experts In this line of industry, should be left there to help produce the food supply that will be necessary to main-tain our army and the demands ynade upon the farms of this nation by. our allies in the great war. "We need to have county and district boards with courage and energy and wisdom to see that Justice is done in accordance with the president's instruction," Governor Capper said yesterday, "and I am glad to say that Kansas has such boards.

We need to create soldiers and recruit an army, but with the man-power of the United States we don't need to create paupers to do it." task which confronts them at the pres ent time Is the securing of the second 40 ner cent which has been ordered to i BAKING POWDER Camp Funston next Wednesday, ucto- The SONORA Talking Machine ber 8.
