'sThe- Republicans Of Kansas are

Bank. said at the Hotel Baltimore this
morning. Mr.. Hazlett was In Kansas
City to attend a needing of the di-
rectors of the American Royal Live

The feeling of dissatisfaction with
Taft is growing in Kansas" Mr.. Haz-
lett said. The people feel he hasn't
acted right on the tariff and has failed
to measure up as a president, as they
believed he would when they gave him
such a majority four years ago. On
the other hand, the Democrats are
turning to Wilson as the logical leader
of the progressive idea in politics.
They believe he stands right on the
public questions Of today and will act
upon his convictions" >

10 Preserve Old phosoaraphs.

One way to preserve old photo
graphs is as follows: Put the photo
graphs into clean, hot water; very
soon the pictures loosen and may be
easily removed from the cards. When
dry, either trim down, to economic
space, or carefully cut away the back
ground entirely. Mount them in a
scrap book or book made especially
for kodak pictures. You will then
have a book with which you can
