BEAUTY HINTS FOR OFFICE
GIRLS.

Are you worn and tired? Is
your face wrinkled with care?
In nine cases ont Of ten you will

and it's accompaniment of
{ wr1nkles-is common COM

Very few women know how to
I rest. The life of the average
girl. whether she works in an Of

{ luxurious ease, is usually filed
to the brim with useful or use
) less tasks which she feels she
{ must perform. 1t is all right to

Z rest. 1t is this continuous rush
and hustle which destroy beau

Stop and rest awhile if you
have any desire to preserve your

Let us take first the case of

she will find it more difficult
( than her home sister to find time
to rest in the midst of her work,

refreshed If she can manage to
relax completely for even that

Then when she arrives home,
which she does probably a little
earlier than in the winter time,
instead of rushing to wash and
dress herself for an early dinner
or hurrying to finish a bit of
sewing she has been doing in
leisure hours, why not take off
one's clothes and lie down for a
half hour or more?

A Recipe For Salad

To make this condinlent your poet begs
The pounded yellow of two hard boiled
eggs;
Two boiled potatoes, passed through kitch-
en- sieve,
Smoothness and softness TO the salad give.
Let onion atoms lurk within the, bowl
And, half suspected, animate the whole.
OF mordant mustard add single spoon.
Distrust the oondiment that bites 80 soon,
But deem It not, thou man of herbs,
fault
To addNa double quantity of salt.
-Four times the spoon with oil from Lucca
crown
And twice with vinegar procured from
town,
And lastly o'er the favored compound
toss
A magic soupcon of anchovy sauce.
o green and glorious! o herbaceous treat!
'Twould tempt the dying anchorite to eat.
Back to the world he'd turn his f1esting
soul
And plunge his fingers in the salad bowl.
Serenely full, the epicupe would say:

day"

SEASONABLE CANNING
HINTS.

For all simple canned fruits 1t
is best to make a sirup of sugar
and water, varying the sweet
ness to suit different fruits.
When this sirup has boiled about
two minutes drop in the fruit.
Thorough scalding of berries is
{ all that is necessary. The fruit
thus canned is whole and of good
{ color. A can Is seldom lost.
Surplus juice with a distinctive
{ flavor may be canned and put
away until some later fruit rip
{ ems. The juices may then be
mixed and made into jelly, or 1t
{ is an excellent addition TO mince-
I meat, for flavoring and coloring
pudding sauces, for tapiocas, etc.
The sick person will find the
juices of peaches, apples, rasp-
I berries, blackberries, strawber-
{ Iies and barberries a very re-
freshing drink.
The largest amount of spoiled
fruit is due to the jars and COW
ers not being thoroughly steriliz-
ed. Before using the clean jars
should be put on in enough cold
water to cover them and boil for
ten minutes; then they are ster-
ilized. They should be lifted
from this hot water Just as they
{ are needed. The Importance OF
tight lids and new rubbers can
I not be overestimated. Only new
rubbers should be used, and they
{ should be dipped into hot water
: before being placed on the jar.
I There are a number of little
: contrivances that may be bought
for a trifle or even made at home
Z that are great labor savers when
{ canning fruit. Parers and corers
Z for peaches, pears and apples
{ may be bought cheaply. The
best pairing knife is good pock-
{ etknife with the butt Of the
( blade wrapped to protect the
hand and prevent cramping.
Z The short kitchen knives are
{ also useful and may be bought
for 8 or 10 cents each. The jar
{ filler is one Of the most useful
helps. 1t is not merely funnel.
but screws on to the Jars like a
lid and does not allow the liquid
to come in contact with the rub
bers.

J0HNS0N'S REPLY
Rises to Ask: "What About
Dignity of California;"
Much Has Been Said About
Dignity of Japan.

Sacramento. April PA stateme nt
hv Governor Johnson setting forth his
{ views on the alien controversy in the
California Legislature and the forth
coming visit of Secretary Bryan was
issued from the executive office today.
In his statement Governor johnson
does not attempt to predict that any
law will be enacted at this session
barring japanese or subjects of any
other nation, nor if so, what kind of a
law it will be, but he asserts that
there is no cause to single out Cali
fornia as the object of unprecedented
ction by the authorities at Washing
ton. He said:
Much has been said of the dignity of
Japan. We would not willingly affront
the dignity of Japan, nor offend its pride
But what shall be said of the proposition
that a great state, itself empire, of
possibilities greater than those of most
consideration of a legislative act admit
tedly within its jurisdiction by the protest
of foreign power which has itself en-
acted even more stringent regulations on
the subject, what of the dignity of Cali
fornia?
mo protest was made against this
policy of the law of the United States
nor against its adoption into the laws of
Washington and Arizona. If the legis-
lature of California We're to determine on
similar action, it would be merely follow
ing the declaration of state legisla-
ture. the policy of the United States and

Within as DAYS
Burned Irvine Plant at Prison
Be Running Again.
So Declared Warden j. X. Cod
ding Today.
STATE To USE $50, 600
To Rebuild Structure-Take Tt
From Revolving Fund.
A Friendly Suit to Test Legal
ity This Action.

Within As days the Irvine plant al
the Lansing state penitentiary will be
running full blast, according to War
den j. K. Codding, who met today with
bers of the board of correction and
made plans for the immediate expen-
diture of $4,000 of the Irvine plant
revolving fund for the reconstruction
penditure, a friendly suit will be filed
at once in the Leavenworth county
district court.
1t is probable that the $50, 900 which
the state proposes to spend from the
irvine plant revolving fund, will be suf>
ficient to rebuild the plant. If more
money is needed, then it is possible
that the state will accept some of the
offers of assistance made by Kansas
banks and bankers. Already 100 con-
victs are working to remove the debris
from the recent prison fire, while an
other 100 men are engaged in burning
brick for the reconstruction of the
buildings destroyed in the prison blaze.
The work of putting up these new
buildings will start next week.
The money appropriated by the
prison board today will be used for the
purchase of new machinery and equip
ment and the building of foundations
and floors. As soon as the boards
order was issued, warrants were drawn
On the state treasurer for the amount
to be spent in replacing the Irvine
plant.
In a friendly suit which will probably
be filed Friday, the names of Warden
J. X. Codding, Pardon Clerk Seaton,
State Treasurer Akers and State Audi
tor Davis will be used as defendants in
the suit which Attorney General Daw-
son will file on behalf of the state to
test the legality of the appropria ton of
money from the revolving fund 1t is
believed that this expenditure is within
the provisions of the Kansas law, but
a court decision will be secured before
making formal expenditure of the
funds. Under terms of the Kansas sta
tutes, this particular suit must be filed
in Leavenworth county and the case
will be brought in the district court
of that county
within 45 days. said Warden Cod
ding, we will be running the prison

Be SOLD FOR TAXES.
Property i'm Shawnee Valued at Quar-
ter of a Million.

Tax deeds to property, the aggregate
value of which probably reaches more
than a quarter of a million of dol
lars. will be ready for anyone who
may wish to buy them on September
6, next. A total tax of $6232 stands
against such property in Shawnee
county. which representes something
between = and 3 per cent, probably,
of the assessed value of the realty tax
ed and on which the taxes for 1910
remain due and unpaid.
The deeds only can be made to
property which was sold to the county
for taxes three years ago. Delinquents
for the years 1911, 1912 and 1913 are
deeds next September. Neither is
property listed which was sold for
taxes earlier than 1870, and which has
neither been redeemed nor sold to tax
title buyers.
Some of the property listed was
doubly and enormously assessed. and
therefore will not be decided. Other
portions. including lots on Tenth ave
nue. now occupied by the Mem Orial
building, are shown to have been sold
for taxes when they were thfspropertY5
of the Topeka Railway company and
the Topeka board of education. This
came about through the failure to list
the property belonging to the state
when the rolls were made up, and the
tax never can be collected since the
state has taken it over.
There are a few large amounts out
standing, however, on the payment of
which tax titles may be issued. One
group of lots on Spruce street, offered
for deed, has taxes against it in the
aggregate of S476.13, while other lots
grouped together next to the first have
taxes against them in the aggregate
of $1S4-47.
There are 81 properties on which the
back taxes amount to more than $50
that will be ready for deed unless, be-
tween now and September 6, the own
ers pay up the taxes and accrued costs
and put themselves square with the
county. Some Of these properties are
valuable homes on which the owners
have neglected to pay taxes, and which
they will be in danger of losing unless
the taxes are paid before the day on
which tax deeds may be issued

SUPREME COURT WORK
Record Breaking Number of Cases
Eorecasted for This Year.

Washington, April PA record-break-
ing amount of work by the supreme court
is forecasted for this year. 1t is under
stood the court will devote one moro
week to the hearing of arguments than
hitherto has Been the practice. Already
cases have been assigned for argument
on May S. later date than cases have
been argued in years.
TIE additional week will give the court
some fifty more cases to decide. If tins
increased work is continued for about six
years, it is estimated Chief Justice White
would achieve his reputed ambition to
'catch up with the docket" At present
cases are not reached for argument until
about two years after they reach the
court.
Ordinarily the court adjourns for the
summer about June l. No indications
have been given to whether it will re-
main in session preparing opinions after
that date this year whether it will en-
deavor to dispose before June l of the
extra cases taken under consideration.

CHANGE u. S. FLAG.

Washington, April 24.-To change
the blue field on the American flag is
proposed in a bill introduced in the
house by Congressman Hayes of Cali
fOrnia. He suggests that the stars
be placed i'll circle surrounding a
larger five pointed star, with an inner
band of red stars, the latter to rep
resent our colonial possessions. Con-
gresham Hayes said today that the
bill was designed to make the blue
field on the flag more artistic than the
present arrangement. He says the Sug-
gestion came from Professor Bierly of
Chicago, who has given much study
to the flag design, and whose models
of the proposed design show it to be
far more artistic and beautiful than
the present arrangement.
