IngallB" 'fatad aucceaalon' vividly recalled by tha preaent trouble In which Senator Burton And himself. Tha brilliant Atchlaon statesman ao des ignated tha Una of Kansas United States senators that started out with Gen. James H. Lane. Those In the "fated succession" wera James H. Lane, Edward O. Rosa, Robert Crozier, Alexander Caldwell, James M. Harvey, Preston B. Plumb, 'Bishop K. Perkins, John Martin, Luclen Baker and tha preaent Senator J. Ralph Burton. Lane committed suicide, Ross commit ted political suicide by voting against tha Impeachment of Andrew Johnson and was driven out of his party.' Cro sier, who served about a year by ap pointment, died without leaving a single mark by which his senatorial career can be remembered. Caldwell resigned after two years' service to escape Investiga tion. Harvey, although ha had been gov ernor of his state and had made a fair ly good reputation as such, made a very Insignificant senator, and was after three yeara' service defeated for re-eleo-tton and dropped out of political Ufa. Plumb died in office at Washington. Perkins erved a brief term by appoint ment and Is scarcely remembered as a senator. Martin served two years and left the senate poorer in purse and with less prestige than he possessed when ha went in. Baker was almost a total fail ure, and his crushing defeat for re election at the hands of Burton Is still warm In tbe memory of the people of Kansas. CXOOSE MXD9AT MZAX. WXSS2.T. Do you realize that your food makes or mars your health; and that you must make your choice of good blood or poor blood yourself. You may be pretty and sweet and fresh-looking now, but if you do not eat the proper food you will fade quickly and lose your strength. At every restaurant a choice may be made between substantial, health-giving food and frivolous, harmful food. Brown bread Is a better investment than white, for It produces mors energy. Baked bea.nar llma beans,-peas, eon and hash (when not cooked greasily) build up your muscles and add to your strength. Cheese snd nuts eaten with bread and butter are both nourishing and inexpen sive. They are heavy foods and should be eaten as such at the end of the meal. Tomatoes and spinach make good red blood they are as gooa as Iron tonic. Apples, too, are regular storage bat teries for iron, and eaten with huts and a glass of milk make a good lunch.
