room. all of them, except the mission
airy, smoking. Perhaps you can
imagine the atmosphere The stove
was finally carried out, not because
OF the heat, but to make room for the
dancers.
These were young Kurds, hand
some fellows, In flowing land highly
colored garments. They danced,
sometimes one alone, sometimes two
or three together. Flirting bright coll
ored kcrchefs with the tips of his
fingers the dancer first postures with
the upper part of his body, and then,
as the flute shrills louder, he keeps
time to 1t in slow measured tread
of the feet, moving in a circle about
the room. One young man gave a
sword dance. He was a handsome
fellow with smiling lips. sparkling
eyes and daredevil face marred BY
scars which suggested sword play of
more serious sort Then there were
Kurdish songs, of war and of love.
These performances were kept up,
without intermission,, for two. hours.
Then came dinner. Servants brought
in large pewter trays which were set
on low stools. The guests seated
themselves on the floor around these
trays, each one being supplied with
large Turkish towel and q spoon.
There were ten courses, each brought
In handsome metal dish. Without
exception the food was toothsome;
meats and soups, vegetables, pre-
serves and s~eetmeats, cooked after
a manner unknown to us and differ

were also sheep curds, cold, tart and

The Right to Eat,

Commercial Appeal: The average
man has notion that he has right
to eat and drink what he pleases. But
with the development of civilization
came restrictions and conditions. The
right to eat and drink cannot be i'm
proved. but the politician gets around
this by trying to dam up the source
and cut off the supply. The pure food
bill is all right when it compels the
manufacturer to label his products
properly. Unquestionably there is en-
tirely too much adulteratfon of food.
Meat is preserved with boracic acid.
Milk is kept sweet with formaline
Butter is made fresh with corrosive
sublimate. Candies are colored with
coal tar dyes Molasses is blondined

in the making of marshmallows. Va

certain treatment to make them seem

ORIGIN OF PURE FOOD LAW.
The Wrong Kind of Circus Juice,

Several old showmen were sitting in
Hardin Park recently telling
stories Of their many experiences,
while enjoying the cool shade Of a
large maple tree. Stretched upon the
ground, their hats and coats of and
smoking, "reminiscences S came easily.
One, older than the rest who had
listened to the tale told by the young

about forty minutes after he had

John F. Robinson, Prominent Circus
Owner Writes a Few Truths.

Governor John f. Robinson, the
noted owner OF a circus that was
founded by his father, the other day
invited the editorial fraternity OF
Missouri, gathered in annual conven-
ton, to attend his exhibition, and
thus phrased his invitation, which

My father, known as Uncle John

Happiness is the only good, and that
the way to be happy is to make some

Our circus was founded In 1921, the

Plans For Factory,

II. G. Glymer, architect for Morris
Bros, Shoe Co has submitted a plan
for the factory which they viii build
in this city.
Bids will be received on the plans
Monday OF next week. Myers, Ballew
and probably Hollenbeck, all OF this
city, will have bids 10, besides some
St. Louis contractors, in all PROBABLE
ity.
The plans call for 1900 square feet
of floor space excluding the power
house. The power house win be a sep.
arate building from the main plant.
There will be a window for every
employe so that each may have plenty
OF light and air, thus assuring health
for the employees and better workman
ship On the shoes. There will be three
hundred windows in all, one every
two and one-half feet.
The plan is Of a building two stories
high, built Of brick with stone trim
ming. as stated before the power
house will be seperate, thus allowing
the employees to escape the noise and
smoke which the power house would
otherwise make for them. The office
will be or the east end on the ground
floor. 1t will be large and roomy.
The building is TO cost as, 0O0, as
stipulated in the contract
II the Mexico Brick and Fire Clay
Co, can make enough brick by the
time they Ire ready TO build they may
probably get the contract This will
lessen the cost of the brick materially,
because the cost OF freighting them
will be next 10 nothing. Ii is estimat-
ed that IL will take between $50, 900
and 2Oo 1000 brick to put up the build
ing. These brick will be all hard
brick as no soft brick win be used in
any part OF the building.
This is a good building and will be
a credit 70 the city, and what is better
shoes will be made in it BY the first
part Of the autumn.
