Waterless Milk

Close to each dairy the milk, fresh from the

evaporase two-thirds of the water And, because
OF the vacuum, this is done without scalding.
That is ali we do before the milk is sealed.
Nothing whatever is added. The milk is pasteur-

AL Field has had a minstrel show on
the road for a good many years, but
his aggregation 4his year is far and
away the best he has ever brought to
Topeka. The singing, the fun and the
scenic effects were all as high class as
any lover of n1instrelsy could ask. Field
has nearly all the old favorites of other
seasons with his show this year and
has added a galaxy of blackface ar
lists who shine with the old luminaries.
Johnny Dove, a comedian of the order
of Harry Lauder, is one of the new
ones Dove cannot sing like the Scotch
man, but he excels him in dancing.
Governor Bowen and Harry Fern are
the other two new ones of class.
Norman Stanley, the big interlocutor,
still shines in the center place, ana
those sweet singers, Charles Reinhart
and Walter Sherwood supply the melo-
] dy and sentiment to balance the big
show of fun and spectacle. when You
and I Were Young. Maggie" is one Of
the old ballads made new by the Field
singers.
The scenic effects of the show were
unexcelled- The court of Saul wher.
David sang before the mad king was
reproduced. In the last half the ver-
Satile minstrels put on the ChantecleeT
play in burlesque, gave a naval display
that was impressive and then present
ed the scenic spectacle from the bot
tom of the sea. In this last ambitious
effort to Guido any stage scene ever
attempted here frogs and fishes were
discovered by a diver and came from
behind rocks to disport themselves
while the spotlight artist did the rest.
| Doc Quigley a local favorite, who has
been with Field for 20 years or more
was not here though his name still ap-
pears on the programs. Doe is down
and out He is suffering from a nerv-
] Gus breakdown and for two months has
been in a sanitarium at Columbus, O..

seen on the stage again.

LIVE TO Be A HUNDRED.
Ruth st. Denis Tells How She Will
Do It..

New York. March Ill am going
to live to be 100 years old, and 1 make
this statement in all sincerity and
truth. The reason why I'm going to
live to be 100, is because 1 refuse to
accept the mandates of fashion, which
in it's utter Indifference to comfort and
health, demands that women garb
themselves in clothes which per Sc,
propagate i'll health. I will not wear
corsets, the use of which interfere with
the natural functions of the body, and
act as a barrier to the proper working
of the respiratory organs, and defeat
the purposes for which God intended
the pores of our skin. will continue
to be underdressed instead of over
dressed and thereby eliminate the dan
gers of sudden changes in temperature.
1 will wear loose-ftting shoes that do
not tend to interfere with the circula-
ton of the blood in the lower limbs;
I will take long breaths, filing every
cell in my lungs; will eat such food
as is calculated to make muscle and
blood: I will deny myself high spiced
cooking, and I will follow a diet that
made the ancient Egyptians the long
lived people they were. In fact, 1 will
get back to nature.

CRISIS NEAR AT HAND.
Fate of Mexican Revolution Will Soon
Be Determined

Juarez, March lit is generally
conceded by the revolutionists that the
crisis in their cause is near at hand
and that unless General Orozico can
accomplish definite results in the next
few weeks the cause of the Mexican
revolution is dead one. In their first
real fight, on February 10, the federals,
under General Navarro completely
outgeneraled and outfought the insur-
rectos, under Generals Orozico and
Blanco. This fight took place at
Guadalupe, IL miles south of here.
After the battle the federals occupied
this city and the insurrectos were
forced to encamp % miles south.
According to correspondence from
Chihuahua City, investigation Of the
states finances since Miguel Ahumada
came in as governor, three weeks ago,
shows that the state is in debt more
than $6,00O,000. When Ahumada held
the office seven years ago the debt was
$500 900.
Most of the money is owed to the
Bank de Minero, of which Enrique
Creel is the head. Creel has been con-
stitutional governor most of the time
since Ahumada's earlier term of office.
He is now Mexican foreign minister.
