Official Prison Record:
KANSAS- Sentenced for Murder
NEBRASKA-Sentenced for Murder
Eighty-five Kansas murderers convicted and sentenced in
the short space of two years ending June 30,, 1916, as
against twenty-nine in Nebraska in the same period!
The appalling murder record of Kansas carries a lesson of,
terrible import to the citizens of Nebraska. Under prohibi
tion there has grown up in Kansas the inevitable "Alley
Joint" evil. In these "joints" liquors of the vilest sort are
dispensed to men and boys by dissolute characters,, both
male and female, spreading crime and debauchery to every
part of the state.
- (Excerpts from article in "The Topeka Daily-State Journal''
of August 29, 1916.)
"Of the 166 criminal cases docketed for the September
term of court, 106 are for violations of the prohibitory law.
As a rule, about one-tenth of the cases brought chare
ing violations of the prohibitory taw are tried. They cost tlie
county about $50 each,"
"One noticeable thing about the criminal docket' for the
September term is that forty-six of the JOINT cases are
against women."
If you are opposed to the Alley Joint evil and
the increase of crime, vote No on the prohibi-
tion amendment.
The squares shown below will appear at
ballot. An X marked in square 301 is &

Tho following first nld measure fo

Farm nnd Fireside.
"A lndy residing In tho country cull

wanted me to couio nt once as her
baby hnd n grain of corn In Its nose,"
tho doctor writes. "I told her It would
not bo necessary for nio to como If she
would do as 1 hid her. She said the
corn was in tho left nostril. I told her
ust to lay tho child down on the bed
on Its back, compress tho right nostril
with tho finger; then, as the bnby
cried, place her mouth over the baby's
mouth nnd blow hard. In another mo
ment a happy, Joyful volco camo ring
ing over tho lino: 'Doctor, wo got the
corn. It's nil right nnd you don't need

"Thus I lost my five dollar fee, hut

Measuring Electricity.
Tho terms volt, ampere, ohm, watt
nnd farad, met with In works on elec
tricity, mean very llttlo to most people.
The volt is tho unit of electrical pres
sure, tho ampcro tho unit of current
strength, the ohm tho unit of resist
ance, tho wntt tho unit of electric pow
er, nnd the least of nil known, farad,
tho unit of olectrlenl capacity.
Current strength is determined by di
viding tho pressure by tho strength;
thus tho number of amperes of current
strength is equal to tho number of volts
divided by tho number of ohms. The
wntt indicates the amount of electric
energy being used when an nmpero of
current Is flowing under a ptessuro of
ono volt However, tho. term kilowatt.
or 1,000 wntts, Is more generally used.
Tho unit of electrical capacity, tho
farad, will contain one nmpero of cur
rent nt one volt prcssuro for ono second
of time. The fnrnd Is divided Into n
million equal parts, each pnrt termed
the microfarad, and this Js tho term
most used In stating electrical capacity.
Japan's Curious Museum.
Probably the very oldest museum in
the world is thnt nt Nnrn, tho ancient
capital of Japan. It was founded in the
year 750 A. D and all tho nrticlcs
therein nro of nn earlier date, for, al
though Nam has gono through all tho
vicissitudes of tho empire, not ono new
artlclo has been added to tho collec
tion. Tho museum Is in safo nnd care
ful custody, nnd Its doors nro opened
only once every year. On thnt day a
committee goes over tho collection, tab
ulatcs It nnd compares tho list with
those mado previously. Tho 3,000 ar
ticles In tho collection nro of lacquer
ware, decorative furniture, enamel
ware, cambrlc-llko fabrics nnd of other
kinds nnd nro among tho very finest
of their species thnt tho world has pro
duccd. Sonio como from China and
some from ICorca, but most of thom

further afield.
Tho Wild Camel of Spain.
Who would Imagine that thoro aws
wild camels in Spain, nnd in a part of
Spain which Is flooded durjng n great
part of tho year? Yet tho thing is
vouched for by tho nuthors of "Unox-
plorcd Spain." Tho explanation is that
"the animals were introduced to Spain
in 1820 by tho Marquis of Villafraucn,
with tho object of employing them in
transport and agriculture, as they aro
commonly used on tho opposlto shorw
of Africa. But local difficulties e
sued, chiefly nrlshig from tho intent
xeur auu reiiugnnucu oi uurocs lowtuu
camels, which resulted In numerous
accidents, and eventually tho bactrlaM
wcro set frco In tho marlsma, whsss-
in they havo slnco lived at largo an4
bred under wholly wild conditions."
Words.
Words aro used for various purposes
to cvado issues, to put pcoplo to
Bleep, to break up homes, to present
literature and to conceal ideas. Noth
lng exceeds Uko words.
Words aro used in speeches, debates
and stories. Massed in serried groups
In newspapers nnd text books thoy pro-
vent pcoplo from learning anything.
Last words aro most effective and aro
employed exclusively by women and
prominent citizens who aro dying.
Words aro nothing in themselves, but
only in their relationship to other
words. It is tho system of putting
them together that counts. Most words
aro like unorganized militia. In war
tho mortality among thom is fearful.
They never win battles. "When words
aro found In regular army style, how
over, disciplined and experienced, thoy

Whore Women Don't Like to Shop.
Tho stranger in Korea finds that ho

Parsimony and Economy.
Tapa," said a child, "what Is the dif
ference between parsimony and econo
my?"
"I will explain tho difference by an
example," tho father replied. "If I cut
down my own expenses that is econo
my, bnt If I cut down your mother's
then it is parsimony."

Lines on the Palms of Hands.
It cannot bo Bald that tho lines on
tho palms of our hands nro of nuy
great service to us. Indeed, it Is doubt
ful If they aro of any valuo in them'
selves, outsldo ot tho posslhlo aid they
may bo in holplng us to detonnlno tho
chnrncter of tho surfaco of things
which wo grasp or touch. It is possl
bio that thoy old in somo slight degree
in tills way. Thoro is llttlo doubt
however, thnt they nro a result of tho
work tho hands aro constantly called
upon to do rather than contrived for
any particular service. Tho habitual
tendency of tho fingers in grasping and
holding things throws tho skin of tho
palms Into creases which turougu rro
qucnt repetition mako tho lines of tho
palms pcrmauont in several instances
Tho neculiarity of theso lines or
creases in various individuals as to do
talis and length und variations is the
chief basis of tho so called sclcnco of
