The sale of Red Cross Christmas seals is a matter that should be en couraged by everyone, because the proceeds are used to fight tuberculosis in Kansas. Heretofore the sale has been confined to the cities and a few larger towns and the funds of the state association have therefore been very meager, but in spite of this a number of registered nurses have been kept in the field and the annual death loss in Kansas from tuberculo sis has been reduced 30 per cent the last six years. Since January 1 the Visiting Nurse association of this city has cared for 75 tuberculosis cases, furnishing fresh eggs, good milk, grape juice and in some cases clothing to the patients. Mrs. Lillian Welsh, chairman of the committee, will place the stamps in the large mercantile establishments tomorrow.

Over a thousand letters have been sent out by Mrs. Welch to business men and club women so liciting their aid in selling the little seals. In enlisting the school children, in struction and education as to the dangers of tuberculosis are combined with the raising of money. In arous ing their interest in the sale of Seals the teachers will tell them of the aw ful disease that is so destructive of life and this will ultimately do much toward wiping out the White Plague, GRIP HITS CATHOLIC CLERGY.

A pamphlet containing -information valuable to land seekers has just been isued by the Colonization Department of the Missouri Pacific-Iron Mountain Railroad. The aim of the Colonization Department is to build up the territory traversed by the lines of the company and the Land Bulletin, which will be issued periodically, is for the purpose of putting in touch at as little expense as possible, the man who is seeking land in the West, South and South west with the land that is obtainable and suitable for the purpose desired.

The Land Bulletin contains full descriptions of the best arming lands that are for sale in the territory serv ed by the Missouri Pacific-Iron Moun tain lines. The field men of the Colonization Department of the railroad keep in close touch with conditions in the country reached by the railroad, espec ially as regards the possibilities of locating settlers. Whenever a particular ly attractive land bargain is it is at once reported to headquarters in St. Louis. The size of the farm price asked, amount and condition of equip ment adaptability of the soil for the production of different crops and all other facts that might interest prospective purchasers are obtained and later appear in the Land Bulletin.

The paper is given wide circulation and whenever an inquiry is received concerning farming lands listed in the publication, the owner or agent of the property and the prospective purchaser are placed in communication through correspondence. Many sales are brought about in this way and the raildoad is eventually benefited through freight and passenger earnings, which are necessarily increased by additional settlers in the territory served by its lines.

Kathryn Kathryne Frick of Harrisburg, deaf, dumb and blind, has just celebrated her sixteenth birthday by giving a party to her little girl friends "I am 16 years old," she said very plainly, "and I am going to give my friends a treat." The words were actually spoken, they were not mumbled or chattered. They were fairly clear and clean cut, and they carried with them the Joy and insatiable love for life of a normal girl. Seven years when Kathryne Frick entered the Pennsylvania In-stitue for the Deaf and Dumb, she could not utter a syllable. She made unintelligible sounds, her mind was absolutely undeveloped, her body was fraiL She had no poise, no stability, no direction; she could scarcely walk alone.

BIG ISSUES TO MEET International Problems and Revnue Crisis Make the Most Important Session in Years Hampered by Presidential Political Booms.

Washington, Dec. 6. National poll-tics, international problems of grave moment, and a threatened revenue crisis combine to make the first session of the Sixty-fourth congress, which convened today the most important national legislative gathering of a decade. A tangled mass of international difficulties and policies that threaten serious complications unless delicately handled, must be cleared up. The way of American neutrality in the world-war must be made straight.

A depleted treasury and rapidly fading revenues must be made to yield the funds for the military preparedness program of the adminstration. And out of all this, before the political dog days of 1916 blaze their way across the land, there must be shaped the men and issues that will decide the struggle next for November control of the federal government. When Vice President Marshall and Speaker Clark dropped their gavels in senate and house today they opened a political and legislative free-for-all struggle that will wrangle its devious and nosy way through winter, spring and summer to the election of 1916. The Democratic administration began its final fight to make clear the record upon which it will go before the 'people after its first experience in power in 20 years. A vigorous and powerful Republican minority initiate its struggle to regain the "seats of the mighty" lost in the disastrous 1912 campaign.

On the Democratic fight the conceded standard bearers for the next fight are. so far, Presiden Wilson and Vice President Marshall, and they have at least the national support of the -Democratic rank and file. The influence of William Jennings Bryan, which, despite his recent retirement to private life, will be felt throughout the session, must be reckoned in the political balance, however. In the senate Republica ranks Senators Weeks of Massachusetts, Borah of Idaho, Cummins of Iowa, Sherman of Illinois and Penrose of Pennsylvania have already been "mentioned" for the presidency and are "in the hands of their friends." A well developed boom for the Republican house leader Mann also Is under way. Representative Gardner of Massachusetts, who led the fight for military preparedness in the last congress, is in line as a Republica vice presidential possibility.

With these aspirations in sight and more certain to develop as the session goes on, national politics Is in for a big winter in Washington. Every opportunity for political advant: age, for political maneuvering and for political oratory will be grasped out of its hiding place and displayed with pride or scorn, as the case may be, to the country. Into this maelstrom of politics will be cast the pretentious administrative legislative program. It will begin with, the military and naval preparedness plan framed hy the war department and indorsed by President Wilson, which the president will present personally to congress in his annual message tomorrow. The preparedness scheme will meet with stormy times as it reaches the house.

It is practically certain that if the president's program goes through without serious mutilation it, will be with the aid of Republican votes, for the Democratic 6ide of the house has dwindled from the magnificent majority of the last house to bare control. The Democrats have a majority of only 24 seats. Did you ever eat at the "Ever Eat?" THE HOME STATE BANK. Deposits Guaranteed. Pays 3 Per Cent on Savings.

As a preamble to the holiday season xthe Orpheum bill this week abounds in music, grace and good cheer and from the overture by the orchestra to the final curtain there is not an uninteresting moment. Miss Brownie Dupont presents "The Aurora of Night," a spsctacular scene of artistic poses enhanced by varied lights. Fun is not carried t-s a side line by Devlin and Williams, "The Traveling Salesman and the Female Drummer," but constitutes their principal business.

Along with a few songs they display an assortment of convulsing patter that brings commendation from the house with emphasis.

There is a train load of laughs in the act even for a pessimist, and a conspicuous absence of boisterous comedy. Bretee Beaumonte and Jack Arnold in "The Doctorine," have an opportunity for a goodly supply of humor, singing and dancing. In her dances of "Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow," the grace of Miss Bessie Clayton is exemplified to the highest degree and her act is probably unparalleled by any other dancer. She depicts, in the gavotte, the grace of the disciples of Terpsichore In the early part of the last century, and there is an element of distinctiveness in her toe dancing, discerna-ble even to the novice. Lester Shee-han is a thoroughly competent dancing partner and the Clayton 'Sextette put a vim into their music that is in keeping with the excellence of the other features of the act The Orpheum Travel Weekly shows scenes in Norway, including a view of Hamamerfest, the most northern town in the world and the midnight sun.
