SURE, WRAP THE BREAD.
DIR. Crumbine says That 1t Is All
Right.

1t has long been known that the
most sanitary way of handling bread
nv bakers was to wrap it in oiled pa
per. But there has been considerable
complaint, not only in Topeka but in
other cities of Kansas and in other
states about wrapped bread. 1t was
sid that the bread became soggy and
sour when wrapped. The complaints
became so numerous that DR.. S. ].
c.rnnbine, secretary of the state board
81 health, ordered an investigation.
Professor C. A. A Utt of the Kan
cas- Agricultural college undertook the
exneriments last November. This is
what he says about the bread.

VOTING RECORD BROKEN.
Nearly Sixteen Thousand Were Cast in
Topeka.

All voting records in Topeka were
broken Tuesday when 1887 people of
Topeka cast their vote in the general
election. This passes all former rec
ords by about 5000 votes. The regis
tration this year was 1884 and the
vote at the primary 1889.
The vote cast Tuesday proves con-
cIusively that Topeka was not given
her real population in the census fig
ures of 1910. 1t is the usual custom
to multiply the registration figures by
about when the women vote. This
would give Topeka more than $4,000
people.
At this, c. H. Titus, city election
commissioner, says more than 1000
voters didn't get their names on the
registration books.
These numbers might be compared
with the Wichita vote. With all their
Socialistic excitement, Wichita with
her alleged $4,000 people. cast only
about $4,000 votes.

mystification in regard to the disap-

Not trace of the picture or the thief

even a dull person would have realized
the impossibility of selling a work so
we'll known.
Attendants at the Salon Care, where
the painting had the place of honor
for five years, tell of having wondered
at the rapt and longing regard given
the portrait by young man who in
recent weeks frequently visited the
Louvre. His appearance suggested that
he was of northern race. He was
blonde and had blue eyes. He would
gaze strangely at the dark Italian
beauty as If enthralled with her "di-
vine smile.''
Search Made for Stranger.
The theory presented by M. Hamard,
head of the French secret service, is
that this man Of disordered mind took
Mona Lisa" so that he may have her
always near him. Descriptions of the
stranger are being distributed.
Examination of various theories led
to the belief that the portrait was
taken by a person disguised as a
workman.
According to one Of the first stories
