BILL HANGS IN BALANCE
Appropriations for Kansas Buildings
May Be Cut.

Washington. March 3.-Appropria-
tions for a number of public buildings
in Kansas are hanging in the balance.
and their final disposition will depend
upon the action of the committees hav-
ing them in charge. Included in the
bill providing for public building in
Kansas cities are items which propose
federal structures to be erected in
Washington and this feature may re-
suit in a general cutting of the appro-
priations, in which event the Kansas
measures will suffer along with the
rest. In speaking upon the bill. Senator
Bristow said:
Il would feel it duty to do every
thing that I could TO prevent the pass
age of a public building bill that was
simply kind of grab game on the part
of certain number of representatives
and senators to get public buildings in
their home towns or in towns scattered
throughout their own state or districts,
and in many cases, buildings which are
not needed and which were not justified
in expending the public money to erect.
To divest this bill of all of the i'm
portant national projects which are un-
der consideration and make it purely
bill for lending provender would he
putting it in such shape that I believe
every senator ought to do what he
could to prevent its paSSa ge."

Things worth knowing.

To prevent rice from boiling over,
rub little butter round edge of pan.
Use small piece of cloth thoroughly
saturated with grease, to grease bread
and cake tins; also to use on pancake
griddle. it saves fingers and uses less
grease than the old way.
When you open bottle of glue or
mucilage the first time, grease the cork
and it will not stick.
If you have rancid butter. melt IL in
a clean. new saucepan; put into it a
slice of bread, toasted light brown,
and the bad taste will be absorbed
leaving the butter nice and sweet.
Quick way to make cookies-Talxe
any cooky recipe and make a dough
stiff enough to mold into rather long
loaf Then with a sharp knife slice
from loaf and bake; a much quicker
way than cutting with cutter.
For earache-Take small piece of
cotton batting, put a pinch OF black
pepper in center. gather up and tie
with a thread. Dip cotton in sweet
oil and insert in the ear. Gives in
slant relief.
