The subject Of his comment was
Well known society girl who lives on
Topeka avenue somewhere between
First and Twenty first street. She is
counted one of the prettiest girls in
town but her appearance is not strik-
ing Under certain circumstances YOU
might pass her by without a glance. al
though ii your attention were called to
her you would inevitably admit her at
tractiVeness, and if you saw her often
YOU would discover it for yourself. And
there YOU have one Of the marked char
acteristics of the typical Topeka girl, ac-
cOrding to her masculine critic:
The Topeka girl is best appreciated by
those who know and love her.
She is not SNOWY, brilliant, majestic or
distinguished looking.
She is not dazzler.
The Kansas City girl has her dis
tanced when it's question of style.
She lacks the Lawrence girls dash and
ginger. In "a beauty contest the Atchi-
son girl would leave her at the post.
But for all that no one who knows
her as she is would trade one OF her
demure glances for every rag and bone
and bank of hair in Hyde Park. or
West Lawrence or North Atehison or
the fashiOna bic residence district Of any
of the neighboring villages.
The typical Topeka girl is of the
sweet winsome. retiring description.
And this applies to her manners as We'll

Perhaps you don't know it. or won't
believe it because Of that obstinate civ
lie pride, an Outgrowth of the national
cOnCeit. which makes every American
declare that he lives in the best town
in the best country on earth, but Topeka
has not a reputation for pretty girls.
Quite the contrary. One man who lived
in Topeka year without going out in
society gave it as his opinion that there
are only two pretty women in town,
and strangers who visit town occasion
ally are even less liberal in their 1udg-
ment OF course we know that this IS
a base SANDER. But it is true that you
must know the Topeka girl and see her
under many different circumstances be-
fore she reveals herself to you in all her
varying and bewitching fascination.
There are several reasons why the
Topeka girl fails to impress the stranger
with her beauty. And one. at least. is
very much to her credit 1t is that in
Topeka the girls dress very quietly and
appropriately for the street. They don {

THE room OF THE ROMAN SOLDIER

The grand old Roman warriors who
won many victories, subsisted chiefly
on wheat carried in their lxnapsacks and
parched when needed for use. The
healthfulness of wheat as a food has
been greatly deprecated by modern
milling processes that remove the life
sustaining gluten in order to make -four
white. Many seek to remedy this evil
by eating cracked wheat or mush In
this form the starch is less than half
cooked. The result is Indigestion
