J.R. BURTON HAPPY
Former Kansas Senator SEven''
With Roosevelt Now.
Prediction Made When He
Went to Jail Verified.

Kansas City, Nov. 14.-J. Ralph Bur-
ton, former United States senator from
Kansas, now knows the meaning of that
saying He who laughs last, laughs
best" Burton walked into the Hotel
Baltimore smiling. Ertends gathered to
greet him He looked ten years younger
and all because a prophecy he made
eight years ago, came true
When Senator Burton walked into the
Iron county jail in 1904 he said some
day the World would find out Theodore
Roosevelt and halt him in his mad rush
for power.
Roosevelt has made many personal
attacks on Burton, which Burton said
he later proved untrue.
Il have watched the career of Roose-
Welt since ne was p years Old said
the kansan today. TT has been a con-
slant clamor for Office. He will be
candidate as Iono as he lives unless he
is sent to an insane asylum But ne
never viii get an Office again His fol-
lowers are disilIusioned by his defeat
and soon the disclosures will come. And
that will be lie end of Roosevelt

Hcan party would reorganize behind La

NOW 1T is HODGES
He Leads Capper by 22 Votes on
Face of Returns.
The Counties Change Their
Figures Constantly.

Senator George H. Hodges is leading
by % votes this afternoon in the Kan
sas governorship fight, according to Of
f1ciaI figures received by Secretary
State Charles Sessions The Hedges
lead of p is independent of the claim
Of yesterday Of a gain of Is votes in
Barton county for the Johnson county
senator.
Several minor changes were made in
the count this morning, but by far the
greatest change was in Stanton county.
This county had previously reported 43
majority for Capper. Official figures for
the county show that Capper received
127 votes to 10 cast for Hodges, a loss
of % votes by the Topeka publisher.
Then came claims OF gains based on
supplementary returns from a half
dozen counties It is possible that none
of these supplementary reports will be
accepted So all have been rejected in
the State Journals table. This left
Hodges in first place by p votes.
Changes in the returns this morning
showed a gain of twU in Kearney, five
in Norton and two in Shawnee for Cap
per, with losses of two in Grant, two
in Lincoln and 26 in Stanton Hodges
changes showed a, loss of one in Ellis,
Leavenworth and Lyon counties. His
gains were two in Bourbon, three in
Graham and one in both Crawford, De-
This afternoon a telegram from J. w
Howe of Abilene, states that the com
mfssioners of Dickinson county have re-
checked the vote on governor They
found a gain of eight votes for Hodges
Bourbon county this afternoon reports
a gain of 20 for Capper. Both findings
will probably be covered in supple
mentary reports
Reports have been received by the
secretary of state from SO Of the los
counties. As fast as these reports ara
received, the returns from the various
voting precincts are totalled on ad-
ding machines. It IS in this rechecking
of the reports from the various coun-
ties that a number Of glaring dis

Friends of both candidates still claim
a victory. In the meantime and pend

Clean and pure food is essential for
public safety.
The sale of impure and filthy mate
rial is nothing less than criminal negli-
gence.
The public should demand proper
conditions in handling foods
The State Board of Health has an
inspector in the field.
Get your store and place of business
sanitary.
Every person who buys food has a
right to expect from the grocermen,
the proprietors of the restaurants or
hotels, dairymen, fruit vendors, and
in fact anyone who keeps food mate
rial TO sale, a clean and pure product
This is not only right but it is also
important for the reason that it is
necessary in protecting the health of
those who use this material. The pub
lie has a right TO expect this and il
should be demanded. A grocerman
should have a pride in keeping his
store as carefully and as clean as a
man dealing in dry goods, but otter

The proprietor of restaurant
should take more pride in keeping. the
kitchen clean than that part which is
under the constant observation of the
public. 1t is too often the case that
the cooking of restaurants is in charge
of servants who are ignorant and pay
very little attention to cleanliness in
the preparation of food. 1t is the duty
of the proprietor to see that the kich-
en- floor is kept clean and that food is
handled in the proper way, and that
the public is served clean and pure
food. 1t is just as easy and certainly
more remunerative to have a clean
place as it is to be careless and allow
things to become filthy. 1t is merely a
question of forming the habit of keep
ing things clean or filthy. Such meas
ures are inexpensive and easily put
into practice by those who are inter
ested in the welfare of their patrons
1t is well for the people who select
places from which to buy food to in
uuire and observe whether or no
these things are being done. Wher
such conditions prevail it means less
sickness and it may be a means o
saving a large doctors bill.

Indeed, this authority points out, so
full of consonants are the Thibetan
