WHEN YOU SHAVE IN KANSAS,
Tho Barber has Twenty Regulations
He Must Observe.

A barber on Kansas avenue In Kan.
sas City, Kansas, was laying an extra
layer OF lather over the face OF per-
spring customer yesterday, when sud-
denly he reached In a drawer under
the mirror and drew forth large lea
ther bound book.
"Just minute" he said TO the GUS
toner, whose eyes were covered by a
towel. 81 want to find the diagnosis
for sore throat. A careful scrutiny
OF your Adams apple discloses slight
swelling. And you perhaps do not
know that we BARRIERS have received
our rules and regulations from the
state board OF health" He then re-
moved the towel from the customers
eyes and pointed to large sign on the
wall.
II find that you show slight symp-
toms of sore throat, however, l guess
you will pass the regulations" Then
lie placed the medical book back in
the drawer and proceeded to scrape of
the mans whiskers. Having finished
shaving, he dipped the end OF towel
in box OF powder and applied it to
the customers face. Regulation 10
forbids the use Of powder puff.
81 will be ready for you In just
minute" he said to another customer
who was waiting. He then proceed
ed to abide by Regulation 8, which
provides that the barber wash his
hands thoroughly after serving each
customer. Then by regulation he
sterilized by immersing In boiling wa
ter all the tonsorial tools that had
been used on the previous customer.
Then by Regulation he made sure
to get new towels for the next custom
er. He then took some formaldehyde
gas. which he applied to his razor to
make sure that any bacilli that might
have become secreted In the small in
dentations would be dead before ap-
plying the razor again. After looking
over the list to see that none OF the
regulations were violated he sum-
moned the customer who was waiting
to the chair and repeated the same
formula.
The BARRIERS in Kansas City, Kas.,
received large cards from the Kansas
Board OF Health, containing rules and
regulations adopted under Chapter 224
Session Laws OF this year. They ap-
ply to barber shops, barber schools,
public bath rooms and public bath
houses. The law contains about twen-
ty regulations in regard TO the sani-
tary condition Of such places, and pro-
vides for the inspection at any time

some of the most common the men,

up our standard of right and wrong
and Judge people accordingly to ex-

Wheat Yield Good.

We couldn't help noticing an article
in the Liberty, Indiana, Express,

nouncing the best average up to date

eraging better than thirty bushels and
the quality is first class. Chris Mil

Cantaloupes are the most difficult
fruit to pick at the right time and
considerable experience is required to
determine the exact moment. Ii
picked Just a little too green they
will have no flavor; II picked too ripe
they will not carry to distant market
and must be used at home. When
our Colorado cantalnupcs are about
ripe for shipping they will show just
the slightest tingc Of color between
the netting. When the cantaloupe
drops Off the button of its own accord
it is Just right to eat but too ripe to

A cantaloupe that cups easily when II
begins to show little color might

real shipping cantaloupc must still
cling tight to the stem when showing
plenty of color and when 1t does this
then it must be harveted. Then the

too hard to eat. Lay it In the shade

NUMBER 2 WRECKED.
Several People iojured in Wreck
Hear AvondoIe Sunday.

| Train number two due In Ordway
at 80 p. M, was wrecked near Ayon-
dale last Sunday afternoon and two OF
the cars were turned completely over.
The accident is supposed to have been
caused by the spreading OF rails, and
occurred at point where freight
train was wrecked a short time ago
One passenger from Ordway, Lloyd
Brown, and Ollie Moore, formerly a
cook In an Ordway restaurant, now a
resident OF Pueblo, were among the
injured, the former receiving a frac-
tured arm and the latter a severe cash
on ankle and possibly permanent in
jury.
| The track is level beyond Avondale
and Engineer Joe Huckett opened the
throttle after the train left Avondale
and was running at forty miles an
hour when the wreck occurred. When
he felt the rumble OF the tender as 1t
dragged along the ties, the engineer
air brake but the train was not stop
ped until 1t had run its own length
and torn up the track and a bridge.
The engineer and fireman jumped
from the cab before the train had
stopped and ran back TO assist the in
jured. 1t was found that the smoker r
and chair car were completely turned
over, while the other cars were stand
ing ut an angle OF i5 degrees.
The cries from the iOjured and
frightened passengers was deafening
and people were seen knocking their
way through the windows and shout
ing for help. That there we're no
more severely injured seems miracu-
lous, considering the rate Of speed at
which the train was travelling and the
fact that two of the cars turned over.
The fact that the travel was excep-
tionally light yesterday is responsible

Just after bridge fifteen feet long
had been crossed, the front truck OF
the tender switched around in some

track. In turn the coaches left the
rails and went madly forward plowing
up the ballast, rails and ties, until
the two cars were turned over.
1t was found that the smoking car
and chair car were separated by about
Il car length.
The smoker had passed the bridge,
but had left 1t in such shape that
when the chair car struck it broke
the coupling and both cars turned
over.
Those in the chair car were the
most severely injured as the shock to
the car when II struck the broken
bridge was terrific. People were
thrown nearly the length Of the car,
striking on heads and backs and hit.

A prevalent curse OF the United

the bcnighted individual who presdes

how to cook well is simply risking her

There are multiplied thousands OF
girls shrivcling in sweatshops or be-
coming sallow and lustrcless In stores
at barely living wages, who might be
happy II they knew how TO conduct

feature comes in. BY shirking culina-

thousands of girls are forced into the
gainful occupations where they scarce

be happily mated in n well conducted

a girl with one dimple and 400
