NORTH OR SOUTH SIDE?
Representatives From Different
Orders to Consider Plan.

The building of new modern three
story brick building by the cooperation
of the different lodges of both sides of
the river is the latest plan which Is be-
ing considered by the building commit
tee from Anity lodge, No. 231 K. p.
The location of the proposed structure
will depend upon which side of the river
the best offer is made for such a pur-
pose.
This plan is said to have been carried
out successfully in other cities. Indica-
lions are that it will be successful in
. Topeka. It is understood that the
members of the different lodges of both
sides of the river are in favor of the
idea and will doubtless be willing to
cooperate in the undertaking and sub
scribe money for the ''Fraternal Tenn
ple," as such structures are known. II
erected the building may be used joint
ly by the different orders of the city at
large.
The idea is the outgrowth of the ef-
forts of Anity lodge to erect a like
building of their own. 1t had been also
proposed to remodel an old building but
none could be found that would meet
the requirements at a reasonable price.
The order mentioned has outgrown its
present quarters on the North side and
has been working on a plan for a new
home ever since last spring. Recently
the plan described was proposed and
met with favor. At a meeting of the
effect that another meeting be called in
the near future to consider the CO.
operative idea for new building with
representatives from the different
lodges on both sides of the river.
I'VE have not decided where the
building is to be located" said Fred
Shellabarger. secretary of the commit
tee this morning. 'It will depend upon
which side of topeka has the best place
at the most reasonable price. Hereto
ers has been to ask too much for the
ground. Yes, the building will be three
stories and probably of brick 1t will
be credit to Topeka
1--WE will have a joint meeting with
representatives of the lodges from over
near future. but we do not know just
when.
"Of course. as the idea originated
with the North side lodge. we would
cation. We believe that a building OF
this kind in the First ward would help
that section a great deal.
while We have not heard officially
we have learned indirectly that the
lodges both In the First ward and in
the city at large favor our plan and we
hope to carry 1t through"
The North Topeka Optical Co. have
just received the latest invention of ad-
vanced science for examining the eyes
for glasses. This instrument not only
perfectly determines the least error of
refraction. but records 1T. making a

impossible; leaving only to his science
and judgment the amount of correction
necessary to insure the best possible
remedial results for the patient These
optical parlors are located a. S1615

tner notice all examinations of the eyes
for glasses will be made free.

Replies are coming in in answer to
the query as to whether or not a red
headed girl really hated a red-ke AIDED
man, which was asked in this col
umn Tuesday. According to these a
red-headed man stands good show
with any red-headed girl. One writer
said in part:

hate a red-headed man or any other
kind as long as he spends his money
on me- Are you on?" (Her address

the worlds record In the matter Of
harvesting, grinding and using wheat
At the exposition grounds, wheat was
cut, thrashed, ground and baked into

A Happy Home.

l have one more word Of advice to
give to those who would haye happy
home, aud that is, let love preside in 1t.
When your behavior in :he domestic
circle becomes q mere matter Of calcu-
lation; when the caress you give is
merely the result Of deliberate study of
the position you occupy, happiness lies
stark dead on the hearthstone. When
the husbands position as head Of the
household is maintained by loudness Of
voice, by strength of arm, by fire of
temper, the republic Of domestic bliss
has become despotism that neither
God nor man will abide. o ye who
promised to love each other at the altAr,
how dare you commit perjury? Let no
shadow Of suspicion come on your affec-
tion. It is easier to kill that flower
than It is to make It live again. The
blast from hell that puts out that light
leaves you in the blackness Of darkness
forever.

Diet for Sieeplessuess.

DR.. William Stevens says that In
somnia 10 not disease itself, but the
effect Of an unhealthy condition Of
body or mind. When the cause Is re-
moved the insomnia may be expected
to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases Of 1t, which would not yield to
any treatment, and for which change
Of air or Of scenery became necessary.
But such cases as these should not
occur, and do not occur only when the
suffered has neglected precautions that
should have been taken when the
trouble first made itself manifest.
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed II attended to In season.
The most common cause IL found In
the digestive organs. Either unsuita-
BILE food. causing insomnia as . feature
Of indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept awake
by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet for
sleeplessness, since what will agree with
one man will disagree with another.
But two things that. may. always be
recommended are lettuce and celery.

Farming In its best sense not merely
existing in the country, means agricult-
ural pursuits. 1t is the business of pro-
ducing and marketing at profit the
agricultural products best suited to the
possibilities Of the location. The farm
or is essentially business man II he is
successful. He does not trust to luck
or to nature to make his efforts pro
ductive Of net results-he hustles and
uses his brains to insure that end. No
business can be trusted to succeed with
out reasonable expenditure of thought
and energy. and farming is no fools
occupation. It requires the same
amount of intelligence and the same
sagacity that are needed in other lines

The Perfect Housewife.

The one who'd he true housewife
Must make q start In early life;
Before the rising Of the sun
Have all her days work we'll begun.
She plans her tasks with utmost skill
Then strives those plannings to fulfill;
She meets her trials with willing grace,
And wears alway pleasant face.
She keeps her thoughts upon her work
And not q duty does she shirk,
For every duty great or small
Should be done well or not at all.
She does not talk about her friends
But to her own affairs attends.
She takes advice from those who know
In helping others is not slow;
She keeps from all that 10 not right
And 30 her world IL always bright.

Cultivation Of the orchard is mainly
for conserving soil moisture. II culti-
walton Is begun early In the season aud
continued till midsummer, growth Of
wood will be stimulated and fruit de-
veloped. Less moisture In late summer
and early fall is desired, so that wood
will properly develop and harden to be
able to stand the cold Of the following
winter. Arrange to cultivate the
orchard early In the summer and have
the soil In good fix for sowing to rye or
other cover crop toward the last Of
summer. The cover crop will afford
some good winter pasture and will keep
billy ground from washing away.
