Y.M. c. A. TO CELEBRATE.
VIII close a Weeks Campaign for
Members with a ..Feed.u

Lawrence, Kan, Sept. 15.-The Y.
NJ. c. A. Is so pleased with the progress
made by Its membership campaign this
week, during which time about seven
ty-f1ve men have become mem bers of
the organization. that it is going to
celebrate the close of the one week
campaign this evening with a big re-
ception, feed" and general open
house.
There will be a programme of music,
and probably a speech or two. There
viii also be class work in the gym
nasium at $3.50.
It IS more the purpose of the associa-
ton to make the reception the big
feature than to make the speeches or
the music the main drawing card The
supper will be provided for all who
care to come to the building instead of
going home to eat. and it will be a
square meal Because the association
IS a bit hard I'D for funds and has no
fund with which to provide such
spreads, q fee Of twenty-five cents will
be charged for the supper-barely
enough to cover the expense OF giving
It. The reception and general ':open
house" will follow the supper.

ROB ooUNC1LMAN's LAUNDRY.
shirts Mysteriously Disappear From B.
F. simms' Wash House.

B. It. Simms, who besides being
councilman from the North side Of the
river is the proprietor of the Gem
steam laundry, tells a hard luck story
to the police that carries with 1t some
sad features for the patrons of his
laundry and that just at time when
winter is threatening to put IN an ap-
pearance.
Monday night the laundry was en-
tered and a number Of bundles con-
tanning underclothes were stolen The
same performance was repeated the
following night and then again the sec
ond night later. In each instance the
clothing taken consisted Of under
clothes and but little If any other
laundry was touched.
Judging solely from the fact that the
thefts were confined to the undercloth-
ing department It is fair to presume
that there are a number OF North
siders who are short in the department
above referred to and a rush for the
underwear department Of the clothing
stores may be anticipated unless the
stolen goods are speedily recovered.

work is now in progress, and has been
partially conn leted and made public.
It will be adopted by the Kansas board
as rapidly as completed by the govern
ment
Grocers Anxious for Change.
Almost all Of the wholesale grocers
represented manifested the utmost vii
ungness to comply with whatever reg
ulations might be adopted by the
board. Their only demand was that
the rules should be made absolutely
definite and certain, beyond all posi-
bility of misunderstanding One Of the
grOcers said.
I'VE. are anxious to cooperate with
this board to remedy conditions i'm the
grocery trade In this state Whicn God
knows have continued too long al
ready. Things are IN bad shape In
many particulars, but we are wiling
to come under your rules II you will
draft them IN such way that there
can be no misunderstanding.
One Of the points raised by the
wholesale grocers was concerning the
purity of havoring extracts. Authorities
differ concerning what constitutas
purity of fiavoring extracts, and the
grCcers want the board to say what the
standard shall be. The board decided
that its only course would be to wait
until the government chemists had
established standards, as they are now
doing, and then adopt those standards.
II
One of the principal subjects under
discussion was that of weights. The
board made a rule some time ago re-
curing that all packages. cans or car
tons be stamped with the exact net
weight Of the contents. The groeers
contend that in some commodities
such as dried fruits, there is a natural
shrinkage in weight, while in others
such as canned goods, the cans are not
made to contain specific number of
pounds or ounces, but a certain cubic
60 by different numbers, and the
American Gamers association has
adopted certain capacities to be known
by certain numbers.
There has been too much of this
business of not filling the cans full .
said one of the wholesalers. I'VE think
the board should refer to the standard
sized cans by number and require that
they be packed full AS long as this Is
not required It will be a temptation to
dishonest packers to give scant meas
urement."
It was decided by the board to sus-
pend the rule concerning weights until
the matter can be investigated more
fully. and the question of shrinkage
discussed.
It was also decided that the enforce
ment of the pure food rules Of the
board shall be postponed until Jan. 1,
or such time as the government board
of chemical experts completes its pre-
paration of the food standards.

II II IlTSI IlGeIlHE OF the GOlEl-
mercial club after the
summer vacation took place
last night at the club rooms.
About forty or fifty members
were present, which is a pref
ty good showing considering the con-
dition of the weather. The meeting
was rather informal and the small
amount OF business was disposed in q
very short order. The meeting was
almost entirety given over to speech
making by the various members of the
club who were present.
The feature of the evening was a
short address by Congressman Chas
Curtis in regard to the future beauti-
flying Of Topeka preparatory to the
coming Cemicentennial. He was in
troduced by President Charles Holli-
day as the next Kansas senator and
future president of the United States.
Mr.. Curtis offered some timely advice
in regard to the condition of Topeka,
and her weaknesses. THE first and
most important thing said Mr. Cur
tbs, lis to get every street in the city
in good condition and pass sufficient
ordinances for their preservation
Topeka as a beautiful city is second
only to washington, but there is q
whole lot that yet remains to be done
for our city and I think that the
streets should receive our first atten-
ton.
Another thing we should do is to
bring people to Topeka and let them
see what we have here. I would like
to see old soldiers reunions here every
year. Topeka is a good place for peo-
pie to live. Our churches and schools
are excelIed nowhere. Our parks are as
good as any. We have all the advan-
tai es necessary to bring large gather
ings to the city, but we do not make
use of half Of them We ought to
have chautauquas and such things.
Many OF the smaller towns in the state
can support such enterprises and
make money on them but we do not
do anything in that line. We ought
to have a gathering of state impor-
lance here every week during the
summer. I would like to see some of
the old fashioned county fairs such as
we used to have as well as the annual
race meet which is now in progress.
1.-THE Semicentennial is certainly
going to be a great opportunity for
Topeka, and will be an enterprise of
national importance. There is no tell
ing what congress viii do for US in this
matter as I have found out by four
teen years service, but I doubt not
that at the proper time, that body viii
be ready to help Topeka. I have new
er been solicitated on the subject, but
I intend when I think the proper time
has arrived to ask an appropriate ton
from the government and I think that
enough financial aid can be secured to
make the venture a success. I am al
ways ready to do anything I can to
help Topeka along and / VIII not be
found wanting when the time comes
to help with the Semicentennial
AS a heavy rain was falling when
Mr. Curtis concluded his remarks, Mr..
Holiday called on several OF the 9TH
er members present for remarks on
the best means of improving Topeka.

but refused to speak. David over
