Not long ago a new maid was in
stalled in the kitchen of an apartment
dweller who is rather particularly fas
tidious. A few days after her installa
ton the mistress found her using the
sink-brush on the corn. The potatoes,
too, it developed had come in for
similar polishing with the same instru-
ment Of offense. The maid was not
ignorant. and not careless, but the
brush that this mistress used for the
sink was exactly like the brush the
last mistress had used for vegetables.
and the maid and the corn and the 20
Gatoes had become involved thereby.
After that, the kitchen brushes we're
marked, a red hot poker being used
Tor the purpose. Brushes, by the way,
are sanitary necessities In the we'll
regulated kitchen of the day. 1t Is left
Tor somebody to invent q really suit
able brush for tipping the tops of rolls
and pastry with egg, or butter, or milk.
Many women prefer shaving-brush
Of badger hair to anything as yet de-
Vised for the purpose. Such a brush
must be cleaned with boiling water.
which means that the brush with
glued-in bristles is not available. A
bottle brush is something that many
Kitchens lack, to their own detriment.

MRS. JOHN RElaEckE.

Word was received here Wednes-
DAY morning of the death of Mrs.
John Reinecke, Of Heller, at the home
OF her daughter, Mrs. Clay Lucas. at
Brennan, Okla, where she had been
visiting for some months. Mr.. Rein
ecke had been called to Oklahoma
last week on account of the illness
OF his wife and the children had left
receipt of message announcing that
receipt ola message announcing that
their mother was in a very critical
condition, but death came before
tney reached her side. She was IS
years and months of age.
Marie Meyer was born in Hanover
Province, Germany, in July, 1916. In
1869 she was united in marriage to
John Reinecke and with him came TO
america in June of the same year.
Ihey resided first in Chicago, for
about one year, coming to Kansas IN
1870, settling first in Ellsworth coun-
ty where they lived but a few weeks
and then moved to their location
near Heller. With her husband Mrs.
Reinecke endured the hardships and
privations of the pioneers of this
state, and for many years after they
came here, these were many, but she
worked and toiled with her husband
that they might succeed and build up
a competence for their children. and
before death came had the satisfac.
ton of knowing that they had not
tolled in vain. Several years ago the
family moved from the farm into
Heller where Mr.. Reinecke and his
sons were engaged in the general
mercantile business and they have
since made that city their home.
Mrs. Reinecke was the mother of
eight children, three boys and five
girls. Two of the girls, Mrs. Mary
Curry and Emma Reinecke. died
some years ago, and the others, with
the exception of Mrs. Clay Lucas,
live in and near Heller. They are
John, Will and Henry Reinecke, Mrs.
Hiram Curry, and Mrs. Jos. Warnken.
and besides these and the husband,
she leaves to mourn her death two
brothers and one sister, Henry and
August Meyer, and Mrs. August Hen
ming, all of this county.
Mrs. Reinecke had been in very
poor health for a long time, but it
was not thought that her condition
was so serious until a short time ago
when she was taken down with an at
tack of pneumonia, which, in her low
state of health she could not with
stand. She was a woman universally
esteemed and loved by her acquain-
tances, and in her death the family
sustains a sad loss indeed. Funeral
services were held at the German Luz
theran church in this city Thursday
afternoon at o'clock and interment
made in the cemetery here. The FAM
i'y have the sympathy of the entire
community in their time of sorrow.

The Negro Question.


Has the little Republican minority
in the house put the big Democratic
majority in the hole on the negro
question?
The Republican leaders deny any
intention to do that but some Of them
appear to be laughing in their sleeves
The Republican legislature two years
ago killed a bill prohibiting the inter
marriage of whites and blacks.
The Democratic house has recon
mended for passage the same identi
cal bill, and has recommended it in
the face of the solid opposition Of
the Republicans.
While denying that the bill is aim
ed at the negro or that it arises from
prejudice against the negro the Demo
Gratis refused to amend the measure
so as to prohibit whites and Indians
from intermarrying.
This measure" declared Robert
Stone, Republican floor leader, 'fS

terests of white and black alike"
