Hands of.

DR.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the
bureau Of chemistry, U. S. Department
Of Agriculture, is TO be ousted because
he allowed an assistant TO exceed the
salary limit, and it is said that the
whisky trust and other interests, which
have been affected by DIR. Wiley's scru-
tiny, are after his scalp.
Congress will investigate the matter.
II the whisky trust and others referred
to are behind the movement to remove
the famous government pure food ex-
pert, as it seems likely, it will result
ultimately in very heavy reaction
against these interests. II occurs to us
that the whisky interests have already
had lesson that would give them more
wisdom. The sentiment against the
whisky traffic is due more largely to the
wholesale adulteration OF that product
than to all the sermons, oratory and
woman's unions ever known Many Of
the murders that are laid at the door of
John Barleycorn might more properly
be attributed to- combination OF whisky
and drugs, or adulterated whisky. The
sentiment that banished the saloon from
many small town was the result OF
murder committed in the name OF
whisky, and yet it was more likely a
mixture Of weak whisky and poisonous
drugs. We have no desire to minimize
the influence Of good preaching, but
experience is the community's best
teacher.
Now, the whisky interests are trying
to destroy what the American people
have been trying to establish source
OF protection against adulterated foods,
and forsooth, because whisky must come
under the operation Of the law the
whisky interests want to decapitate the
man who is capable of Analysing these
products and honest enough to do his
duty.
The people of the United States have
taken considerable pains and expended
some effort in bringing about the puri-
fieation Of food products, and when the
whisky interests undertake to NEEDLE
with this work they will encounter a
greater shaking up than any to which
they have ever yet been subjected. It
is almost impossible for the States TO
prohibit the sale OF whisky while the
Government is sanctioning the traffic by
the issuance Of license. If the whisky {
interests begin to antagonize Congress j
they are threatening the hen that laid

The question is asked on every side,
will there be dinner on the ground? We
hesitated to make the announcement of
dinner on the ground unless we could
guarantee plenty OF dinner for every
one, so we got an expert mathematician
to figure out how we would be safe in
making this guarantee, and he solved
the problem to our satisfaction. He
says that if everyone who attends will
bring enough dinner for themselves and
just little more" there will be no
trouble on this score, and if these con-
ditions are strictly complied with we
have no hesitancy in guaranteeing plenty

WOMEN INTO THE WORK.

Three hundred and twenty-one
Kansas women are studying home
problems scientifically, says the Kan
sas IndustriaIist. To do this it is
not necessary for them to neglect their
home duties in the least. And how is
this accomplished? Through the wo-
mems auxiliaries to farmers institutes.
Some persons have the idea that these
organizations are only for farmers
wives, but this is not true. Every wo-
man is eligible to membership, as the
work of a homemaker is practically
the same in city or country.
Everywhere people are waking to
the idea that education, to be of serv-
ice, must be practicable; and as a re-
suit, industrial education has been IN
troduced into schools and colleges.
Statistics show that "a per cent Of
the women of the United States be-
come home-makers, and as home
making has been recognized as a pro-
fession, girls are being taught how to
conduct a home in the best way.
There are, though, many women
who have not been able to take ad-
vantage of these opportunities, who
are themselves IN cnarSo OIL nOmeS
without adequate preparation. For
these women the farmers auxiliaries
were organized. These organizations
are under the supervision of the ex-
tension department of the Kansas
State Agricultural college, and plans
for organization are furnished by the
department.
The auxiliaries meet once a month.
All auXiliaries discuss the same sub
ject at the same time. The subjects
are practicable, everyday ideas suited
to the time of the year. This month
they are discussing poultry, and in
May they will take up gardening. In
June, when fruits are in season, can-
ming will be the topic for discussion
Outlines of subjects and lists of reIi-
able references are sent to every auxil-
larry
There are already sixteen organiza-
tions in Kansas, the largest one being
at Cove with 55 members Much in
terest has been taken in the work. and
the next year probably will see a large
mum ber of auxiliaries established

THE STATE FAIR.

Present indications are that the
state fair to be held in Topeka this
fall will be the greatest agricultural
exposition in every large and little de-
tail that has ever been staged in Kan
sas No other fair grounds in the
state, or all of them put together, will
have anything like the equipment that
will be found on the Topeka grounds
when the gates are opened. The $780,
900 that the people of Shawnee coun-
ty so generously voted to help put this
fair on its feet has been apportioned
out to wonderful advantage. Most of
it is to be put into buildings of sub
stantiaI sort which will be permanent
improvements on the grounds and
which will provide facilities for ex-
hibitors that are second to none in the
entire country.
And with such prospects and such
equipment for a successful fair, every
effort should be made by Topekans to
make it that and a little bit more. The
board of directors of the fair, Secre-
tary Cook and the other officials, are
already working overtime to make 1t
everything that it should be. They
have fixed up a premium list that Will
compare more than favorably with the
premium lists of the biggest state fairs
in the nation. They have planned the
expenditure of the moneys at their dis
posal with much wisdom and are go
ing to get a lot for this money And
the hard work they are doing can be
supplemented in ways that will count
by many Topekans.
For instance, the many travelling
men who make Topeka their head
quarters and who radiate from 1t to
all parts of Kansas and neighboring
states, can arouse much interest in the
fair by dropping a well-chosen word
or two to their customers about what
the 1911 fair at Topeka is going to be.
Then. too. the merchants of the city
might send out the attractive folders
of the fair in certain classes of their
mail and with shipments of goods. In
these ways the fair can be advertised
to the best possible advantage.
Such efforts would be well worth
while, too. Tor the bigger the crowd
that is attracted to the fair, the larger
advantage it will be in every way to
every business and enterprise in the
city.
The officials and directors of the
state fair, as we'll as the county COM
missioners and county officials, who
have charge of the improvements on
the fair grounds, are doing monu-
mental work in building the exposition
I'D to large proportions. They can be
helped on their way, though, by well
directed activities on the part of many
Topekans in seeing that the fair is
well advertised.

A reader of the Recorder com

two or three reasons why. One was
that to accommodate our advertisers
and not to unduly crowd the advertise
ments we usually had to print a six
teen page paper. To make the adver-
tisements valuable we felt it was nee
essary to sandwich reading matter on
every page. For this purpose we col
lected all the local news items and
country correspondence possible and
yet we generally had a few columns of
space left to fill with editorial. An
other reason we gave him was that the
stuff was on our mind, and we natur-
ally wanted to get rid of it. He looked
thoughtful for moment and then re-
piled, "WeIl, 1 think you must feel a
whole lot better, after getting a lot of
that stuff off your mind" Just for the
moment we could not think of any
thing to say, and fortunately the tele-
phone rang and we had an excuse to
close the conversation.-Holto Re-

TUBERCULOSIS sUNDAv

Sunday next has been designated by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis as
tuberculosis day. 1t is to be hoped
that it will be generally observed in
the 100000 churches in the country in
a manner similar to that of Tubercu-
losis Sunday in 1910. when over 40. 900
sermons were preached on the preven-
ton of consumption.
In one respect tuberculosis day will
differ from tuberculosis Sunday of
1910. Instead of requesting the
churches to give to the tuberculosis
cause special Sunday service, the
plan this year is that meetings, at
which the subject of tuberculosis and
its prevention can be discussed be held
on Sunday, or on any day near that
date, either in the week preceding or
the week following. What is desired
is that the subject of tuberculosis be
discussed in all of the 100000
churches of the country at as nearly
the same time as possible This sug-
gestion, therefore, does not demand
that a stated church service be given
over to the work, although that might
be desirable, but that any minister, or
other authority whom he may invite,

All the churches in Topeka and
Kansas should do their part to help
this good cause along. The preven
ton of the spread of tuberculosis can
only be brought about by educating
the people up to the necessary safe
guards they must employ in fighting
this disease. and surely no better way
can be found for reaching a large
mass of people than through the
churches. It is estimated that there
are 33,0O0,00O church members in the
United States. If large proportion
of that number can be impre essed with

war against the great white plague,
an army will be in the field fighting
the dread disease which will soon put
it to rout.
