BRYAN GIVES TIP TO COLLEGE “DRYS”

Opposed to National ProhibitionShould Concentrate in _ State Action. Topeka, Kans., Jan. L—A preference for state action for prohibition, at present, rather than an immediate attempt for national prohibition, was expressed in a letter from Secretary of State Bryan to Mon G. Borton, national secretary of the Intercollegiate Prohibition association, read at the closing session of the convention of that organization here tonight. ’ In his letter Mr. Bryan says: “In the matter of prohibition, I think that at present the emphasis should be laid on the contests in the states. In some states the time is ripe for action and I think it is better to concentrate theforees on these than to spread them oVfer the entire union. However, this is a .matter of opinion and relates to the policy of national action at this time rather than to the principles involved."

I desire to thank the neighbors, friends and Odd Fellows for their many kind acts during the illness and death of my husband, George H. Werner.—Mrs. George H. Werner..

William Talmadge Life at Goodland.

Goodland Herald. A sad tragedy was enacted Xmas morning when Wm. Talmadge, aged about 80 years, committed suicide at his quarters in a room over Buch’s market, by discharging one load from a muzzle loading shotgun, the charge entering the left chest, lust below tbe heart, and several large arteries and be died in a few minutes. Mr. Talmadge had been: a sufferer of asthma and kidney trouble for many years and had taken treatment from a number of physicians without any relief. It was known that he was inflicted with an incurable disease but none suspected that he would commit any act that would end his life and it was quite a surprise to his friends. About 9:50 Christmas morning a shot was hear dand (Marshal O. H. Mohney rushed upstairs and found Mr. Talmadge mortally bounded, and at 10:10 he passed away'. . Upon investigation SBO was found in a small sack and sl7 in his pockHe had a balance of $6 in the bank. A deed was found for a burial lot in the ‘Mound Grove cemetery *at Kankakee, 111., beside that of his mother, and the remains were taken to that place Saturday morning and interment made that afternoon. It is rumored that Mr. Talmadge has a son about 17 years old as well as several brothers and sisters, but their residence is unknown to Goodland people. Mr. Talmadge has been a resident of Goodland for about ten years and has always been satisfied to live by himself and at no time molested anyone and the town hardly knew he was a citizen in our midst. He left no word, but it is generally understood that his ill health, and the realization that there was no cure for him, led him to commit the rash act that took his life.

TRY THIS FOR NEURALGIA

Thousands of people keep on suffering with neuralgia because they do not know what to do for it Neuralgia is a pain in the nerves. What you want to do is to soothe the nerve itself. Apply Sloan’s Liniment to the surface over the painful part—do not rub it in. Sloan’s Liniment penetrates very quickly to the sore, irritated nerve and allays the inflammation. Get a bottle of Sloan's Liniment for 25 cents of any druggist and have it in the house—against colds, sore, and swollen joints, lumbago, sciatica and like ailments. Your money back if not satisfied, but it does give almost instant relief. (2)

ENGLISH SHIP BLOWN UP IN CHANNEL

Submarine or Mine Given as the Cause—6oo Lives Are Lost and 160 Rescued. t . London, Jan. I.—The British battleship Formidable was sunk this morning in the British Channel by either a mine or a submarine. About 600 of the 750 men on board are believed to have bejn lost. The announcement of the loss was made by the official information bureau briefly as follows: ‘.The battleship Formidable was sunk this morning in the channel, but Whether by a mine or a submarine is not yet certain.” After the official statement was issued the Tor Bay trawler Providence landed 70 survivors. They were rescued by the trawler during a terrific storm during the morning. While the British admiralty has not announced the locality where the battleship was blown up, the inclination here is to believe that a submarine again has been successful in an attack on some ol the British ships that have been bombarding German positions on the Belgian coast. (London has been stirred by the announcement, but this is <jue not so much to the loss of the ship, which was 15 years old and cost about $5,000,600, as it is for the heavy loss of life. Among the 150 rescued of the 750 on hoard are eight officers 4nd six midshipmen. The Formidable had a displacement of 15,000 tons. It was 430 feet long and carried a complement of 750 men. It was heavily armored, and carried four 12-inch guns, twelve 6-inch guns and sixteen 12pounders. It was provided also with four submerged torpedo tubes. The Formidable had assigned to it, according to the British navy list for December,'various fleet officers and consequently it undoubtedly was acting as a flagship at the time of its destruction. Its captain was Arthur N. Loxley and commander, Charles I?. Ballard.

Dangers of a Gold. Do you know that of all the minor ailments colds are by far the most dangerous It is not the colds themselves that you need to fear, but the serious diseases that they so often lead to. For that reason every cold should be gotten rid of with the least possible delay. To accomplish this you will find Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy of great help to you. It loosens a cold, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration and enables the system to throw off the cold.

Signs of the Times.

_ “In Topeka,” writes George D. Biggs, superintendent of schools at Maple Hill, Kans., “I read a sign in the Campbell Drug Company’s store.” Here’s the sign: “We sell patent medicines but we do not recommend them. If you are sick see a doctor.” This shows what the present attitude of the most up-to-date druggists is. It is only human of druggists to sell patent dope, just as it is only human for the bartender to sell the booze that is the basis of his livelihood. The druggist knows better and the best bartenders side-step the stuff — but there’s money in it! At the last analysis, it is up to the publie. The press gives warning—the trade itself says: "If you are sick, see a doctor.” And even the doctors give more good advice than they used to, and fewer pills.—Contributed.
