HE WARNS TURKEY
Greek Premier's Speech Verges
ON Declaration of War.
Government Demands Cessa-
tiOn of Persecution.

Athens, June IA warning to Tur-
key, which fell little short Of a formal
declaration of hostilities. was uttered
today by Premier Venizelos Of Greece
in the chamber Of deputies. He was
speaking on the treatment of Greek
subjects in Turkey.
The Greek government has sent a
vigorous note to Turkey. demanding the
Greeks in Turkey and the repair of
damage caused to them and their in
terests.
The premiers attitude showed ten
sion between Greece and Turkey was
near the breaking point and that the
danger of war was imminent. M.
veniselos. who obviously found ditti-
Guilty in restraining his language
when he spoke Of the way in which
the Turks had treated his fellow
countrymen, said:
II do not wish to allow to escape
me words which cannot be recalled,
but should fail in my duty IL 1 did
not inform the chamber of deputies
that the situation has become grave
even very grave. If a stop is not put
to these conditions the Hellenic gov
ernment will be forced not to content
itself with joining in the lamentations
of unhappy refugees"
Loud and prolonged cheers greeted
the statement of the premier, who
added that thousands of Greek refu-
gees na0 alrcaOy TcdCneQ the nome
land from Turkey, while thousands
more were only awaiting transporta-
ton facilities, "in order to escape
from their prosecutors" Such q sit
uation, he concluded, could not be
borne much longer.
Reports have been current for sew
eral weeks of unrest in the Balkans
and Of the ever increasing acuteness
of the situation between Turkey and
Greece A general feeling has prevail
ed in Europe that Turkey was pre-
pairing for another conflict with
Greece, with the object of reconquer-
ing the territory she had lost in the
recent war. Expulsion Of Greek sub
jects from Asia-Minor as well as from
European Turkey has been in prog
ress for some time.

FRANK BRITTON.

As rule, one usually supports
his next door neighbor, all other
points being equal, but here. is.
one time when they are not equal
and that is in the campaign for
the nomination of a lieutenant
governor on the Democratic
ticket. John Wagner, a Larned
banker, is one of the candidates.
Wagner is a good man and if
nominated and elected will grace
the position, which, aside from
presiding over the state senate for
a short time during the session
of the legislature, is an honorary
one, unless, of course, something
should happen to the governor.
There are two other candidates,
r. F. Ginder, of Pottawatomie
county, and Frank Britton, of
Usage county. The latter is our
choice. The reasons are, first,
two years ago when the chances
for Democratic success in the.
state seemed to be of a minus
quantity, Britton went on the
ticket, made a rattling good cam
paign, and finished with the best
vote of any man on The ticket
except the Governor. He is quail
flied for The place, and should the
unexpected happen, and by fate
he be called upon to fill the exc
cutive chair, he is large enough.
to do so. He is a good campaign
er and excellent speaker. He has
been prominent for years in the
X. p. lodge, being Past Grand
Chancellor of The order. When
the smoke of battle cleared away
after The last campaign, he re-
turned 10 his work, did not seek
any appointment, either. state or
national, but on The contrary in
formed his friends that he didn't
want any appointment. We have
known BrittOn personally for sew
eral years, and can vouch for him
to the voters of Barton county
whose support for his nomination
we would be pleased to have them
extend.

USE FOR FIRELESS COOKER
Breakfast May Be Prepared the Night
Before and Enjoyed In the
Morning.

Nobody appreciates better than the
man or woman forced by circum-
stances to make an early start Of
mornings, the convenience and COM
fort of a freless cooker. 1t is dis
heartening to most folks to go out in
the morning-say at seven or even at
six-and snatch breakfast en- route.
With the aid of a fireless cooker-a
very small one will do-and perco-
lator, a breakfast may be enjoyed lux
uriously in ones bathgown.
Oatmeal, brought to a simmer the
night before and tucked cozily to bed
in the fireless cooker, will emerge in
the morning steaming and delicious
" cooked. Coffee and water placed
in the percolator before retiring need
only the touch of match to alcohol
wick during the morning process Of
dressing, to be ready, hot and steam
ing, when the oatmeal Is placed on
the table. Rolls and bottle of cream
left by baker and milkman outside the
door, will complete a breakfast
with perhaps an orange thrown In
that will sustain the average worker
comfortably until the luncheon houl
comes around.

SERVE THE DEETROO1
ONE OF THE MOST WHOLESOME
OF FOODS.
May Be Prepared In Many Ways, and
the Potash Salts II Contains Make
II an Invaluable Table Dainty
for All Seasons.

Beetroots contain a large proportion
OF potash salts and are consequently
most wholesome. There are several
interesting ways Of serving them,
apart from the usual salad and pickle
form. To cook beetroots they should
hrst be washed in lukewarm water
and all dirt removed. Then put them
in a steamer and let them cook for
two or three hours, according to size.
When done dip in cold water and peel
of the skin while hot. They can also
be baked in the oven and will take
about the same time to cook.
( Beetroot Soup.-Put quart of white
stock in a stewpan with one or two
onions, turnip, a carrot, a small
beetroot (all cut up, and one or two
cloves and peppercorns. Stew for
an hour end half, and then rub all
through a wire sieve. Mix a table
spoonful of barley -four with one
ounce of butter, add to the soup, and
stir carefully until it thickens. Then
serve very hot with fried croutons Of
bread.
Beetroot au Casserole.-Put half an
ounce of butter in a casserole, and
when hot add a sliced beetroot and
a little inely-chopped shallot. Fry
for few minutes, then add about two
pints of good stock, and let it stew
half an hour. Mix one ounce of ar
rowroot or potato -four with one gill
Of cream, and pour the stock over it,
being careful not to let it curdle. Ar
range the beetroot in the center Of a
hot dish, reheat the thickened gravy
(but do not let 1t boiD, season with
salt and pepper, and pour over the
beetroot
Beetroot la Creme-Cut cooked
beetroot in dice-shaped pieces and let
it marinate in vinegar. Boil some
maccaroni in sailed water, and when
cooked drain and keep hot; strain
the beetroot and put in a saucepan,
allowing to every two tablespoonful
one ounce of butter and tablespoon
full of water.
Let all get thoroughly hot, and just
before serving stir in three or four
tablespoonful of cream.
Beetroot and Apple Pudding-Cook
two ounces of rice in one pint of milk
with sugar to taste. When soft III
will take about an hour, let it cool
and then spread over the bottom of a
glass dish. Stew one pound of cook
ing apples with sugar and few
cloves and add a sliced beetroot. Mash
all well together and spread over the
rice. Make a nice custard, and when
slightly cool pour over the apple and
rice. Serve when cold.
