Ten Topeka Orphans Invited to Her
Entertainment.

Next week ten small Topeka orpha rs
will see a performance that has de-
lighted the curly crowned heads of
youthful European royalty. Miss Jean
Parkhurst has sent an invitation to the
matron of the orphans home 10 select
ten of her '-goodeSt'' youngsters and
trot them into town next Tuesday to
hear Kitty Cheatham's program at the
Grand Miss Cheatham is the most
famous singer of children's songs and
teller of children's stories in the
country She is the greatest of all au-
thorities upon the literature of the song
and story of little child land and cor
relatively the foremost illustrator of
the beautiful expression of her art.
Press notices have also declared that
she is the one person today who is
equipped to preserve the negro folklore
of America. She is extremely versatile
and has the widest repertoir of any art
list before the public. In her programs
in New York last season alone, she
brought out more than fifty hitherto
unknown classics from the French
German Russian Swedish, Dutch and
other sources. Her recent tour of Eu-

position which she has made for herself
in two continents, in a field which is
her own creation

STORES WIN FIGHT.
Can Sell People Peroxide Like
Soap Supreme Court Rules.
Board of Health Ruling Cannot
Be Enforced.

In reversing decision by Judge
Dana of the Shawnee county district
court, the supreme court held today
that the sale of peroxide by any store
sale of soap and that registered
pharmacist is not required to sell the
preparation. The decision is a victory
for the Kansas department stores,
who were placed under the ban by an
order from the state Pharmaceutical
association
Nearly a year ago, an order was
sent out by the Pharmaceutical asso-
citation, notifying stores not employ
ing registered pharmacists that they
must dispense with the sale of per-
oxide and other preparations, under
the provisions of a Kansas law In
Topeka the ruling hit the Woolworth
store particularly hard. 1t sold for
ten cents more peroxide than was
contained in a 25 cent bottle at the
corner drug store. As their business,
even on that basis was a particularly
profitable one, they contested the
case.
In the district court their actions
were held as a violation of the sta tie
law. So they appealed. The supreme
court today held that peroxide IS
widely known and SO generally used
that it is in the same classification
with soap, axle grease and vaseline.
that the employment of a registered
pharmacist to dispense the same is
entirely out of harmony with the
spirit of the law. And now the ten
cent stores the department stores and
the corner groceries may stock their
shelves with peroxide, without fear of
violating a sacred statute secured
through the efforts of the Kansas
druggists. In no sense of the word.

classification of drugs

Just to give the incumbent members
a slight rest, today's grist will deal
right harshly with pair of ex-sena-
tors who are now on the job, not as
senators, but plain "lobs-"
And the first is that prince of good
Indians, Todd Reed, formerly the
senator from Smith, but now a visitor
from lower California It was about
two years ago that Friend Todd journ-
ed to the land where the sun goes
down and the real estate values go
up, taking with him his family and
the shingle that swung above his Smith
Center law Office. The man who was
recognized as among the best lawyers
of Kansas, found no difficulty in build
ing up a law practice in San Diego,
and both family and law practice are
enjoying excellent health. The Hon
Reed found new friends and new bust
ness, and Old Lady Prosperity is pack
ing her trunk to pay him a long visit.
They miss him in the Kansas senate,
but the loss to Kansas has been a
gain to California.
1t is widely suspected that the real
reason for the return of Hon. Todd
was to greet the swarm of friends that
take turns in trying to shake his wing
out of the socket, but he candidly ad-
