WANT THE PURE FOOD EXHIBIT
Applications for State Display by
Grocers Turned Down.

Many Kansas grocers have made
requests for the use of the pure food
exhibit which the state board OF
health. had at the Midwinter exposi-
ton but all of these requests have
been turned down by DR.. s. J. Crum-
bine, secretary Of the board as he does
not intend to have the exhibit used
for advertising purposes. The exhibit
is practically intact and is on display
at. the board of health offices In the
state house. The grocers wanted to
display it in their stores for week
or two and offered to pay the freight
and expenses of an inspector to tell
visitors about the different articles.
DR.. Crumbine would like to have
the exhibit shown throughout the
state and he is willing to send 1t to
any town where the grocers Will get
together, agree to apportion the SIX
pense of shipping 1t and will pay the

LIKE NEGRO JANITORS.
Mr.. Helnick Objects to Being Put on
Same Basis as Cuspidore Cleaners.


Parks Helmick, representative from
Neosho county, has changed his mind
about making the race for renomina-
ton and election. Some time ago he
announced that he would be a candi-
date and in his announcement given
out today he says that the reasons for
changing his mind are purely personal
The pay of q representative is too small
and he can't afford it,
Mr.. Helmick will still take an active
hand in politics but he does not intend
to run for any offices. During the re-
cent primaries and convention in Cha
mute Mr.. Helnick made no fight to
control the organization in his own
ward or determine who the delegates to
the county and state conventions should
be.
He says in his announcements:
Counting the period when all of my
time would be devoted to the campaign
and Office 1t Is safe to say that of the
10 months fully one-ha1f of the time my
attention and energy would be spent
on other lines than business. In addi-
ton to the time spent there Is no small
expense connected with running for
office, Just how much those who have
tried it know.

tween Horn and Blakely,

BY taking advantage Of the latest
advancement in the scientific develop
ment of electricity the city may be
able to erect a plant that will repre-
sent as large an improvement over the
model st. Joseph municipal electric
light plant as the latter is an improve
ment over the present Topeka mu-
nicipal plant.
The Wolff Packing company of To-
peka has Just installed a new electric
light plant which generates lust one
half of the amount of energy that the
st. Joseph plant generates and which
is 80 compact that a large horse
blanket will cover almost all of the
machinery" in the words of H. K.
Goodrich, superintendent of the city
plant. The Wolff Packing company's
plant furnishes all of the light, moan
descent and arcs. for the buildings of
that company.
H. K. Goodrich last evening called
the attention of the council to this new
plant which has just been installed
here and stated that he had secured
permission to bring members of the
council to the plant for the purpose
OF inspection. 'sThe plant at st. Joe
is a good one. I inspected it a year
ago." said Goodrich. ''But if you had

janitor who spends an hour or two q
day cleaning the cuspfdors draws the
same money per day and gets pay for

sion on less than his salary and If he
takes his family he is out so much the
more. For his time and money spent in
campaign and election her gets as re-
oompense the honor of the office and
I am free to say that so far as I am
concerned the price is too high for the
returns.
Some men have a personal ak to
grind and some can always make mon
ey out of an office whether it pays a
salary or not. The only other people
who can afford to run for Representa-
tive in this state are men with money
enough to take it as q recreation and
luxury. I do not belong to any Of
these three classes.
when the political nicrobe gets into
mans system it is hard to get rid
of it and am willing to confess that
1t has not been altogether easy for me
to destroy the germ, but i believe my
friends will agree with me that I am
wise in looking after my business at
this time of life rather than chasing
political honOrs."

Application was made to the council
for permission to construct stone fronts
