Here Is How
We Gan Do 1t

There must be a reason
why we can sell such a good
meal for such a small price.
Certainly we expect to make
a reasonable profit-we
couldn't stay in business if
we didn't. There is a rea-
son-we'll tell you how we
do it.
Take our fowl for instance
we buy our chickens,
geese and turkeys direct
from the country. We get
fine fat chickens for 1212c
per pound. Big fine geese
are ours by buying direct
from the producer at 1412c
per pound, while the turkey
that costs you 25c to 3Oc per
pound when you buy from
the retail grocery man or
butcher, becomes ours for
18c.
That's a mighty big saw
ing, and you can now under
stand why it is that we are
able to give you an order of
chicken for 35c, and give
you besides a dish Of good
soup, potatoes, side dish of
vegetables or sauce and
choice of tea, coffee or milk
in short, a first class meal.
We serve turkey for Acc per
order and give you the same
meal as with the chicken.
This will give an insight
into the reason that we are
taxed to our capacity all day
long, from early morning till
8 o'clock at night to wait -on
our hungry customers. -
Everything here is clear.
and neat-we use only W.
best of material. Our meat
is all United States inspect

JOHN LA FARCE DYING.
Greatest Living American Artist Crit
icaIIy Ill in New York.

New York, April 25.-Little hope
was held out today for the recovery of
John LaFarge, the greatest living
American artist, who is critically i'll at
his residence IN Fifth avenue. So weak
from the infirmities of age, that his
thin hands had to be guided by an
other, the artist yesterday signed his
will and made final preparations for
the end.
fortnight ago the physicians sum-
moned his son, who is a Jesuit priest.
attached to the vatican in Rome, and
the latter is now at his fathers bed
side. Mr.. LaFarge is. to a consider
able extent, 4 martyr to his work. For
several years he has been working on
his autobiogra phv and for months past
his labors to complete this work have
exhausted much of his little store of
vitality. For more than year he has
been confined to his home almost con-
tinuously and has been able to visit
only rarely his studio on West Tenth
street, which contains one of the most
valuable private collections of centem-
porary art in New York. The artist is
II years old.

At A meeting of the Topeka Real

noon at the Commercial club. plans
were discussed in regard to the
launching of a comprehensive adver-
Using campaign. No business of
definite nature was transacted. it hav-
ing been decided that action will be

said Scott Hopkins, las to the effec-
tiveness and force of the organiza-
ton. In the first place we want to
prove our effectiveness by the clean
manner in which the organization is
public Then, secondly, we should
show our effectiveness by the manner
in which we advertise"
n. B. Burge suggested that hand
some poster be printed bearing photo
graphs of Topeka and her prominent

facts about the city which would do to

w A. Neiswanger thought the asso-

curing new street signs for Topeka. as
visitors to the city often have difficulty
in finding their way about the city. In
this connection w. w. Webb stated
that the Topeka Automobile club has
called for figures on the placing of
enamel signs on metal plates on the
roads leading to Topeka, which would
state the exact distance to, town. Mr..
Webb considered that this would be q
good means of advertising Topeka.

CANAL OF A STREET.
Captain j. G. Waters Attacks Piece of
City Engineering.

Captain J. G.. Waters came before
the city board of commissioners
this morning and with sublime oratory
that reminded one of street railway
commissioners for relief in the famous
and most troublesome Biddle creek
spilIway district.
1t seems that a certain George Par
sons, living at Eighth and Locust
street, is so situated that the water
from the spillway makes an island
and swamp of his property at least
go days out of every year. Captain
that a big damage suit would result
from these conditions unless a COM
promise of some kind could be made.
You can build monument in
street, fence off part of an avenue
while a structure is under construc-
ton, lay tracks in the street-but gen.
tlemen, you do not have the power
and the right to make a canal out of
a city thorouyhfare. This is what has
been done to Locust street,
Captain Waters declared that the
work was the "meanest and naStieSt
piece of engineering work. he had ever
witnessed and that it had been declared
so by Engineer Meade OF the Santa
Fe The city commissioners referred
the matter to City Attorney Ralston
for further action.
The city commissioners have about
decided to fill in the emergency fire
cistern at Eighth and Kansas avenue
and constr ct a new cistern on East
Eighth avenue just north of the State
Journal building. The intersection cts
tern which was destroyed some time
ago by a gas explosion is said to be III
a bad place, anyway-and the best
thing the city can do is to fill it UP and
dig new one.
Apropos the order of Chief Wilmarth
to repair the cistern, the Topeka Edi-
son company answered the commission
ers by saying that they were not
morally or legally responsible for the
destruction of the cistern. AS a com
promise. however, they said they would
give 800 toward it's repair. The city
commissioners decided to take the 500
and let the matter drop.
Meanwhile the street railway will be
ordered to relay the pavement at the
intersection of Eighth and Kansas ave-
nues in order that traffic may be re-
sumed on this corner with regularity
and without complications.
Commissioner Bone saved months
salary today. In response to the de-
mand from Mrs Susan Shockley for
$3.50 to settle her claim against the city
for a piece of ground on the site of the
North side pumping station, Mr.. Bone
dug through the old nuSty records at
the court house and found that $3.50
of this money had been paid her many
years ago. The city thus settles for
$3.50.

he had signed a contract with Ricken-

thought was wanted was to put up
