SERVE FREE SOUP
Children i'm Model Training
School Get Warm Lunch.
Teachers Do Work Free and
Cost Is Small.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 15-The cnlI-
dren of the model training school OF
the Kansas State Normal are being
furnished free lunches by the school
at the noon hour. So far only soup
has been served, but it is expected the
free lunch idea will be enlarged. The
plan was inaugurated by j. H. Glot-
felter, principal of the normal training
school. The student teachers, who are
being trained for the schools of Kan
sas, are doing the work with an idea
of carrying the plan into operation IN
the schools where they will teach.
The soup is prepared by the student
teachers in the school, and served to
the children at the noon hour with
their lunches. Aside from the nutri-
tive value of the soup as food for the
children, the plan has a socializing
value in the training for citizenship.
One cup of soup is served to each child
at an average cost of two cents cup.
In rural schools where the children
could bring the constituents of their
lunches to be prepared comparatively,
not only soups but other foods could
be prepared for the children cheaply.
The ordinary principles of table ETH
quette are taught incidentally, and
part of the manual training and house
hold art lesson is an important part,
as the children help prepare the lunch
es and wash the dishes. The plan is
new one in Kansas.

MANY UNHAPPY MARRIAGES.
Sixty-Four Emporia Couples Ask Le-
gal Separation in 1912.

Emporia, Kan, Jan. 15.-Sixty-four
married couples in Lyon county de-
cided that life was not worth living
together in 1912, and filed suit for
divorce. During the year, Judge F.
A. Nickel granted divorces in forty
five cases. This does not mean forty
five out of sixty-four, for many of the
divorce suits filed in 1912 have not
been heard, and are continued over
until future terms, and number Of
the forty-five were filed in 1911. The
large number of uncongenial mar
riages, which developed far enough to
attain the stage of legal separation
proceedings is all the more striking,
however, when it is shown that ac-
tons for divorce are almost one-half
of the total number of civil actions
filed during the twelve months. The
total is 13S, and the figures are taken
from the records of E. H. Rees, clerk
of the court.
OF the divorce troubles heard in
court, separation DEGREES were grant
forty-five cases, where divorces were
secured, thirty-three of them were ac-
tons brought by women. The records
show that women are plaintiffs more
often than men. The charges brought
by women were of cruelty, abandon
rnent, nonsupport and infidelity, with
minor additional charges of drunken
ness and neglect of duty. while the
charges brought by men mainly were
desertion, neglect of duty and inf
deity. In the forty-five instances
were for cruelty. thirteen for aban-
donment, eleven for nonsupport. six
for infidelity, and one each for de-
sertion and neglect of duty.

Twenty-Five Men Working

Archer, Dick Vickery, George Wright.
Mont Macon and Ivan Leisure, miners
employed in the Hartford mine, n
mile southeast of Galena, went into
the ground to resume their works
they heard a slight splitting in the
roof and instinctively the five looked
up to the roof just in time to be COW
cred by a slab of rock weighing per-
haps 200 tons.
Leisure was nearest the edge of the
falling mass. but was so badly man
gled and injured that recovery is i'm
probable. The other four men were
instantly killed and their bodies mash
ed almost beyond recognition.
All OF the miners excepting Archer
We're married and leave families. Two
hours after the accident the bodies OF
Archer and Macon were recovered,
but to recover the other bodies it will
be necessary to move practically all
of the mass, and in this work dyna-
ployed.
The drift in which the fall occurred
was at the 190-foot level and approx
imately 400 feet from the shaft. In
following the custom of the zinc and
lead miners numerous holes were
drilled in the roof to test it and it was
pronounced safe, but an inspection of
the ground showed the mass which fell
had been held in place by a seam or
tiff or crystal substance.
twenty-five men and boys were at
work in the mine at the time OF the
accident. Jim Ray, Morgan Breeder
and Hugh Jennings were working near
the men who were killed, but are I'M
able to explain why they ran. The
drift in which the dirt fell is thirty
feet wide and only fifteen working in
relays could proceed with the rescue
work. For this reason admission to
the mine was refused a hundred miners
willing to risk their lives in the work.

The Real Cause Of
Most Bad Compilations
(From Family Physician.)

1t is stern fact that no truly beautiful
complexion ever came out of jars bot
ties, and the longer one uses cosmetics
the worse the complexion becomes. Skin,
to be healthy, must breathe. 1t also
must expel, through the pores, its share
of the body's effete material Creams and
powders clog the pores, interfering both
with elimination and breathing. If more
women understood this, there would be
fewer Self-ruined compilations If they
would use ordinary mercolized wax in
stead of cosmetics, they would have
natural healthy compilations. This re-
markable substance actually absorbs a
bad skin, also unclogging the pores Re-
suit: The fresher, younger under-skin is
permitted to breathe and to show itself.
An exquisite new complexion gradually
peeps out, one free from any appearance
of artificiality. Get an ounce of mercohzed
wax at your druggists and try it. Apply
nightly like cold cream, for a week or
so, washing it off mornings.

HE SEES $4,000 SINK.
Kansas Farmer Watches Twenty-Five
Mules Drown in Kaw.


Lawrence Kan. Jan. 15.-Twenty
four head of two and three-year-old
mules were drowned in the Kaw river
died from the exposure in the ice cold
water. The mules belonged to VIM.
Schaake, the we'll known Kaw valley
farmer, and were worth at least
$4,000.
Mr.. Schaake had driven the mules
through Lawrence Saturday from his
Kaw valley farm to the Zimmerman
some corn fields that he wanted to
pasture and clean up. There were
fifty-six in the drove taken across to
the new pasture ground.
Twenty-nine of the mules broke out
of the pasture and started straight
south for their former home on the
south side of the river. Peaching the
ice and snow, and after the mules had
all gotten on to the ice it gave way
and they were precipitated into the
icy water.
Persons who had seen the mules
break out were following, and five
were pulled out of the river before
they were drowned. One of these
died afterwards from the exposure.
The other twenty-four were lost.
It is regarded as somewhat strange
that the mules should have taken a
short cut for home. when they had
been driven to the new pasture by a
more circuitous route, and that they
should have tried to cross on the ice
for the mule is usually found to be
one of the most careful animals in
getting into danger. 1t is supposed,
however, that the snowy covering on
the ice over the river led the animals
to make the attempt.

NO SUFFERING THIS YEAR.
Kansas Stockmen Do Not Fear Re-
ViVal of Last Years Troubles.

V1VdI Oh Last 4eafS TROUBLES.
Larned, Kan, Jan. 15.-Reports that
have been circulated throughout east
ern states that continued cold weather
may bring on a repetition of last win
ter's stock suffering are unfounded.
Conditions in the shortgrass section
this winter are exactly the reverse of
last. The billiards. then caught stock
men with shortage of feed and abund-
ance of stock and the feed on hand was
pulpy and indigestible, because of the
dry growing season the previous sum-
mer.
This winter finds a shortage of stock,
because of large shipments and the
horse plague, and greater abundance
of nourishing feed than the section has
boosted in it's entire history. The ex-
periences of last winter caused heavy
stock expectation and the planting of
large forage crop acreages during the
past spring and summer. Far from
fearing a feed shortage farmers in this
region are signing surprisingly cheap
contracts to feed eastern herds during
the winter months.

year old, has been deserted by her hus-

have the three oldest admitted to the
State Orphans home, but her request has
been turned down by the state board OF
control because she is good" woman.
Were she the other sort, the state would

them in the home. Judge Adams says II :

and asked for relief for the woman, but
they have checked the case up to the
state.
