THE GREAT WHITE WAY.

Inasmuch as the legislature took
favorable action on the bill which will
open the door for the establishment
of great white ways'' in the business
sections of cities of the first class. the
Topeka hustlers should get busy at
once and put the machinery in mo-
ton so that such a system of lighting
will be in working order on Kansas
avenue before many weeks have
passed.
This is one of those matters that
can be disposed of just as well in the
immediate future as to let it drag
along for months and months. In
deed. procrastination has been the
death of many just such projects as
this So the sooner the actual work
of installing this system is begun, the
better it will be. 1t would be most
desirable to have it in working order
by the beginning of summer. Then
its splendors and advantages can be
enjoyed to the full by the people of
the city.
Much preliminary work will have to
be done before the work can be start
ed and plans made for getting it I'M
der way at once. And as soon as
these plans have been perfected it
might not be a bad idea for many of
the merchants on Kansas avenue to
think over the proposition of increas-
ing the volume of their window light
ing at night. Several of the large
business houses now keep their show
windows lighted for three or so hours
each evening. But quite a number of
them do not go in for window light
ing at all. An elaborate system of
window lighting in conjunction with
| the magnificent street lighting system
it is proposed to put in, would, indeed,
turn Kansas avenue into a veritable
great white way, which would be one
| of the best advertiser that it is
possible for a city to have. Mer-
chants in other cities take concerted
action along this line, and when it
comes to progressiveness the mer-
chants of Topeka stand second to none

KANSAS COANENT
CONSUMPTION OF CORN MEAL.


CONSUMPTION OF CORN MEAL.
About once a decade there is a re-
vlVal OF the advocacy of corn as food
Tor the family. In Ohio this year
there was a corn exhibit and it was
cooked and appeared in many forms
on the menus of the hotels while the
exposition lasted.
NO doubt thousands of persons en-
Joyed the variety and started home
converts to the meal diet But some
now they fell from grace and resumed
the breakfast food and wheat flour
Kansas should lose no opportunity
10 push the corn meal propaganda.
MOI onIy is KANSAS a great corn state,
Whlch would be benefited by increased
use OF corn, but the meal is a. very
healthy and hearty article of food.
When. the housewife buys and serves
the breakfast foods daily, she gains a
little IN labor. ~ 1t is so much easier
10 serve the prepared breakfast than
10 make biscuits or corn bread. The
expense of the prepared food is great
er, the waste is more and the dietary
benefits less than a good corn cake
would yield.
The secret may lie in the word
good" A good corn cake is better to
the taste than any breakfast food, and
IL beats hot biscuits if served half the
time. Perhaps the trouble lies in the
cooking. 1t is harder to make good
corn cake, good mush to fry, or eat
with milk, real good brown bread than
to make biscuits or even raised white
bread
Why should not the school board
take this matter in hand and include
corn cakes, brown bread, mush and
hominy in the domestic science cur
r1culum? OF course it would be nee
essary to compel domestic science
teachers to learn the art, for like all
good, substantial food, it requires skill
to take it just right from the oven.

RAILROADS DID WE'LL.
People who chafe when they are
delayed by the railroads should note
the experience Uncle Sam is having.
Any yet, when it is considered that
the railroads have been called upon
to furnish, within "a hours, trans
portation for 10000 troops and equip
ment of all kinds from all parts of
the country, and have actually got all
those troops on the way, it must be
said they have done well. The troops
from Leavenworth alone required
about ITO cars and six or seven loco
motives. And all this has been pro-
vided without impairing in any par
ticular regular freight or passenger
traffic of the roads. Consider what
the conditions would be in times like
these if the government owned the
railroads. Private business would be
a secondary consideration. The rail-
roads have responded nobly.-Leaven-
worth Post.
