SENDING OUT SUPPLIES
Preparatory Steps Toward Taking the
Eleventh Census.
Work Much More Advanced Than 1t
Was Ten Years AEo-Director Mer-
Ram Expresses Subtraction.

The shipping division Of the census bu-
reau has begun the shipment of supplies to
the supervisors throughout the country. The
supplies embrace everything that will be
used in the taking of the census. such as
schedules, stationery. instructions to emu
merators and returning lists. They are
packed in square white pine boxes, sub
stantially constructed and bearing the
name of the supervisor in large letters on
the cover The reverse of the cover bears
the name and address of the director Of the
census, for each box is to be used for the
return shipment of the statistics that are
gathered by the supervisor and his emu
merators.
Thus far the steps preparatory to taking
the eleventh census are several months
ahead of the preparatory work of the tenth
census. The supervisors have been appoint
ed and confirmed several months ahead OF
the last census, and these supplies which
are going out now are at least two months
ahead of the dispatch Of similar supplies
ten years ago.
The supervisors have all been personally
instructed in their work and understand
thoroughly what is expected of them and
of the enumerators whom they are to ap-
point. This latter class, it Is expected, will
all be appointed by the LIST of April, and
their names win be sent to the director Of
the census for final approval. This will
give the enumerators the entire month of
May to perfect themselves in the methods
to be employed in gathering the statistics.
and when the list of June comes around 1t
is expected that the most intelligent corps
of enumerators will go into the field that
has ever been appointed.
Director Merriam accompanied repre-
sentative of The Star today through the
census office and pointed out the many
advantages of the new building. The great
mass of supplies necessary for the work
of taking the census is crowding the new
building, and a large force of men was at
work sending out the boxes. A represen-
tative Of the Post Office Department was on
hand putting the registered mail mark on
the packages, and the whole building had
an air of business, and convinces one VINO
does not know already what has been done
that the big machine has started to re-
volve and is moving smoothly. A model
printing office is being operated in one sec
ton of the building and schedules, tnstruc-
lions and letters of explanation are being
turned out by the thousands.
Director Merriam said to The Star re-
porter that he was at last satisfied with
the shape matters had assumed, and was
convinced now that everything would be In
sus on the first day Of June. The fireproof
| the supervisors returns, has been found to
| be of insufficient capacity and it has been
necessary for Director Merriam to make
another part of the building freproof IL
| order that these valuable records may be
| stored with safety.
| No further appointments will be made
| for several weeks, although 1t Is expected
| that by the first of June the major part o.
| the force will be at work.

NOT WAR, BUT INsURRECTION.
Ex-Secretary AlGer Comments on tn
Situation in Philippines.

Situation in Philippines.
Concerning a recent statement from
Washington with regard to a difficulty
which confronts Secretary Root in deciding
whether the United States is in a state of
war, ex-Secretary Alger yesterday spoke as
follows:
II should say most emphatically that the
United States is not in state of war. The
treaty of peace signed at Paris ended the
war with Spain. The only terms that can
properly be applied to the present trouble
in the Philippines are rebellion and insur-
rection.
LAS to the immediate question before the
department. whether enlisted soldiers can
purchase their discharge as in times OF
peace, do not feel competent to utter a
decided opinion. That Is matter wherein
the advice of the Attorney General will
undoubtedly be asked. 1t is my private be-
lief, though, that when soldiers are badly
needed, even If a state of war does not ex-
list, they should not be allowed to take ad-
vantage OF this privilege.
II would distinguish between a technical
war and am Instruction. In so far as the
conditions affect our soldiers in the field,

The new city and county directory,
which was published by w. H Burch. is
the finest and most complete that was
ever got up for use in this city. 1t is a
large book handsomely bound in clcth

1t is the twelfth edition for Wichita 1t
includes a carefully classified business
directory, complete street and avenue
directory, a list of Sedgwick county resi-
dents, with the postomce address and
township in which each resides. A list
of the city and county officers, fraternal
orders, societies. public buildings, etc.

will prove of invaluable worth to strang-
ers in the city. The colleges. location Of

ton by Publisher Burch. While It is i'm

ate than any other published in the city.

BAKING PROBLEM SOLVED
A Method of Indefinitely Keeping
Fresh the Ovens Best Products.

Though American bakers have for years
excelled. many of their daintiest creations
could never be enjoyed at their best be-
cause it has been impossible TO protect
them from moisture odors. dust or germs
and keep them fresh until they reached
the consumer.
Now an Americans inventive genius has
interviewed, and ii is possible to have the
best efforts of the best bakers in the
world as fresh and as dainty as Of just
from the oven. and to have them in any
season and anywhere-up in the rigorous
Alaskan climate, in the heat of the In
dies. in the moistuIe-charged atmosphere
of the sea coast, or the mild temperature
of the interior-just as fresh, crisp and
delicate as If bought the day they were
baked in the famous bakeries OF the
great cities.

box just big enough to hold the biscuit

placing OF this paper and the cardboard
around the biscuit, in the form of a box,
without the Use Of paste, or nails. or

itself. The exterior is still further pro-
