KANSAS COMAENT
WHY IS A VACATION?


As that joyous time approaches, the
question arises in the minds of men
mot to mention women, though we
are): Why is a vacation? 1t has been
truthfully said that the only person
who can really enjoy vacation is one
who doesn't need it, and that others
devote their layoff to finding fault
with the grub, the climate and the
mosquitoes, and are glad when it is
over and they can get home and enjoy
much needed rest. This may oe
labeled as exaggeration, but there is
enough truth in it to warrant the tired
business man to try to take care of
himself a little as he goes along, so
his annual play time of a week or two
won't leave him with more sore spots
than a defeated candidate who says
he hasn't any. In other words it is
well to play a little as you go along,
and not try to crowd a years supply
of recreation into a week or two and
wear out in the effort. This plan will
add joy to the vacation when it does
come, and enable anyone who tres
it to do more work while on the job.
If enough will follow this advice
which they get cheap it will also be
a boon to the life insurance companies
who need the money, and keep the
naughty undertakers on the waiting
list longer. You can't deposit your
health in the bank, but it will pay
dividends all right If you care for 1t
while you have it.-Atchison Globe.

One way to find out how much the

GUESSING THE PAPER.

Many persons say that the newspa-
pers of the country are worse than
none at all. Many well educated people
believe that the big papers are scan
daI mongers and trouble makers. Ten
years ago a man at the head of one
of the big city dailies started a cam
paign for a sane and safe Fourth.
This year only ten persons were kill
ed as a result of the insane Fourth.
The number of lives lost has decreased
from hundreds to ten. And it was the
result of one newspapers attempt to
be of service to the public. But in
spite of this fact persons will continue
to cuss the paper.-Summer Session

APPLE JUICE MOTIVE POWER
Farmers Urged to Have Worthless Fruit Made Into Denatured Alec
 hol to Run Farm Machinery.

Kansas City, Aug. 25.-Farmers should get the motive power to run the engines On their farm machinery from denatured alcohol made from in,. ferior apples, Joseph M. Alglada of New York said, in an address here.
 This is the solution of the prob lem for supplying power on the farr." he said. Farmers should establish cooperative alcohol plants. There are barrels of apples which go to waste on the farm. The farmers of each neighborhood in which apples are produced should gather up these apples and take them to a co-opera- tive mill and denatured alcohol could be made in large quantities.
 "The motive power furnished by al cohol is more desirable than that from any other source"

ANSWERING HIS LETTER
By ANNA PHilPOT.

Well" indignantly exclaimed the girl to herself, after she had glanced at the date of the letter that the post man had just left. Two weeks!" She flung her head high, and looked into the mirror to get the effect "I'll show him that can keep him waiting. tool"
 She unfolded the letter and read it. Then she reread 1t.
 Mot an apology in 1t, either! ought just to write and tell him a thing or two-but he'll wait at least three weeks before he gets a word from me! Let him see how he likes it!" She was extremely indignant.
 Going to her desk, she flung the let. ter disdainfully upon 1t and closed the lid. Then she opened the desk again and took up the letter.
 "I wonder" she pondered, whether I ought to wait three weeks. I don't believe it would be well to wait more than just as long as he waited. That will be broad hint to him. But I'm not going to be satisfied with hints !! I'm going to tell him good and plain that if my letters aren't of sufficient interest to be worth an answer before I've forgotten everything I wrote to him I'll just direct them to people by whom they will be more appreciated.
 "I'll write him this very minute and set forth matters clearly to that young man while everythings fresh in my mind. Then can leave the letter un- dated and send it later, whenever I de- eide will be best"

"Td better not begin to scold him at first" she decided ''Ill just answer his letter. I'll write as though l had nothing to say especially. and when get nearly to the end I'll tell him a few things that he ought to know!"
 She wrote on, happily smiling to her self through a number of pages.
 "Goodness!" she reflected. Whats the use of stirring up trouble? l think I'd just better let it drop and act as though I hadn't noticed how long time had elapsed since he got my let ter. It's far better that way. Really, 1t is foolish for girl to let man think she's eagerly waiting and watch ing for his letters.

LENTEN COOKERY.
How TO Make Japanese Dishes For
Pente initial Fare.

Soy. the national sauce of Japan,
made from the soy bean. Is used in
most OF the popular dishes OF the mi
kado's realm. the recipes for few of
which are quoted.
mi sakana," which being translated
means fish cooked in soy" Is well
worth trying. Bring TO boil In a
saucepan one cupful of SOY. one-quar-
ter cupful of water and one heaping
teaspoonful OF sugar Then add one
small turbot, sole or any other fish OF
your choice. Cook until the fish IL
thoroughly done, and serve It In the
liquor in which It was cooked. This
dish Is good whether hot or cold.
'Hachi sakana" means broiled fish.
and the Japanese method of preparing
1t is interesting. They scorn gas
range, and the fire OF their choice
comes from bed of redhot charcoal.
First Of all they split their fish In half
and as they broil 1t sprinkle over 1t
occasionally little salt and few
dashes Of the almost omnlpresent soy.
Salmon is particularly nppetiZing after
having been subjected To this treat
ment. If you care to take the trouble
to CRATE half dozen large. firm rad
ishes and mix with them one table
spoonful OF SOY you will have an ex-
cellent sauce for the fish
A somewhat novel way OF stewing
vegetables is to boil or steam them.
Then let them simmer for quarter of
an hour I'm sauce made OF one cupful
Of boiling soy which has been diluted
with a small amount of water
Squash. carrots. satisfy. sweet or
white potatoes are very good when
treated thus. For vegetables other
than squash or sweet potatoes 1t Is
well to add heaping teaspoonful of
sugar to the sauce.
