High School Students Will Go
to Work.
Signal Men in the Santa Fe
Service.
As SODA FOUNTAIN CLERKS
The Youngsters Who Show the
Right Spirit.
One Will Be q Pixies Peak
Landlord in ClOudland.

The majority Of high school boys do
not intend to spend the summer In
idleness and most of them have put In
their applications for Jobs for June,
July and August. Some of the stud
ents will do the work OF men, many
will Jerk sodas' and the sons OF many
prominent Topeka men intend to 90
real manual labor this summer.
The signal service work of the Santa
Fe railroad is attractive to many OF
the students, several of whom have
worked for the service in Texas and
Oklahoma. Arthur Shakeshaft and
Chester Wahle, son of two Santa Fe
officials. were in the signal service IN
Texas last summer and intend to go
out again. Shakeshaft has spent three
summers in this work and will graduate
from high school this June. Last sum-
mer the following high school boys, IN
addition to Wahle and Shakeshaft.
were in the signal service: Arthur
"Shag" shadinger. David Cowgirl, Geo.
Rodney Nettels. now captain Of the
high school football team. Don Reese.
Carl Martin, Frank Willard and Sam
Stewart. The three latter are now
students at Washburn college. A dozen
students are expecting to go out this
year. Damon Gall, Cliff Wilmoth. Ken.
meth Ogilvie. Victor Blakely. son OF
many others. Charles KOuns, son OF
General Manager Kouns of the Santa
Fe. intends to spend the summer with
a commissary car on that line.
On the Signal Gang.
The signal service work is under the
direction of r. S. Stevens. signal en-
gineer of the Santa Fe. The labor is
hard but rather attractive. Signal fore
men say that high school students are
among the best and that they earn
their salaries. A. H. Hoyt, signal fore
man for the Santa Fee, said: Il would
rather have bunch of high school
and college boys than twice the num-
Der of regular signalmen. They are
quick at catching on to their work and
are generally offered the same Jobs the
following summer"
The food on the signal gangs is good
and the bunk cars usually clean and
neat. The pay ia good.
The new workers on signal gangs are
usually put through lot of misery by
the regulars before they get sophisti-
Gated. One of the old time honored
customs is to warn the new conner
against the wampus cats. They are
told that these animals are cross be-
tween a mountain lion and a panther.
Last summer one of the Topeka boys
was so frightened at the prospects of
meeting a wampus cat, that he wrote
home for a gun. The boys papa in
Topeka grew alarmed and officials of
the road advised the signal men not
to carry the joke further. The wam-
pus cat is a terrible animal to the new
hands and this summer many high
school students will hear a lot about
It.
Will Carry Papers.
Many high school students will carry
newspapers this summer while some of

Turkish and vapor Baths.
Some dozen to twenty years ago hot
air and vapor baths were much esteemed
by seekers after beauty and also by wom-
en- who wished to reduce flesh. In both
respects these prolonged baths have
proved . disappointment although there
arc situations in which they may be in
dulged in with profit. A Turkish or vapor
bath with the after rubbing and plunge

lation, open the sweat and oil glands and
often bring life and color into Q torpid,

Hot Bath Does Not Reduce.
The belief that tho Turkish bath Win
reduce flesh has proven to b . fallacy.
Intense Precipitation will relieve the body
Of water. but this will be renewed a.
soon as the patient begins to drink To
keep in good health the normal proportion
Of water in the body must be maintained.
As We persptre We have q craving for
drink which We call thirst. To reduce
flesh We must rid the body Of fat or

rest OF Cleanliness.
Some parts of the body are more prone
to secretions and Precipitation than others
and demand moro frequent and complete
bathing. The cleanliness of the body does
not depend ON the number Of minutes q
person stays in the cleansing bath. or how
many are taken during the twenty-four
hours. If the body has been exposed to
dirt. a certain amount Of friction IL neces-
sary to dislodge 1t; 1t is also quite pos
sible to be clean without the daily, all
over bath, although the latter il Certainly
q great comfort and convenience.
The water for the cleansing bath should
be soft, or made 10 with some softeninE
agent. Oatmeal bags soften the water
and In q measure act as soap. They are
made by filling two-inch square OF
cheesecioth with dessert spoon Of finest
oatmeal and half a teaspoon Of powdered
orris root. II little powdered soap il
added to this. no other soap Is necessary.
After the cleansing bath is finished a
spray should be used or the body sponged
with clean water SO as to leave no soap
on the skin. Many cases OF bath itch
come from neglect Of this point.
Perfumed soaps are pleasant. but they
are a luxury. for good perfume adds
soap. Cheap perfume should be avoided
by all means. The body. warm and moist
from the bath, will hold perfume longer
than at any other time. Toilet water
may be rubbed into the skin or Il may
be powdered with q sweet smelling pow
der.
Benefit Of the Cold Bath.
The morning cold bath, whether Q
plunge or taken under q shower. il in
no sense q cleansing bath. but 1t has
wonderful stimulating powers. The shock
Of the cold starts the heart pumping. the
skin muscles contract and the blood ves-
sells empty. The brisk rub that follows
brings the blood back through the capil-
laries and vessels and the skin muscles
relax. This improves the circulation. has
. tonic effect on the nerves and In many
cases acts as . preventative against colds.
The test Of the benefit that one derives
from a cold bath IL whether tho after

is warm and glowing and there II . feel
ing of hghtness and exhilaration. the cold
bath IL the right kind Of 4 tonic. II. on

The dryness Of the skin and the itching

Kansas Building Season Has
Opened with 4 Rush.
Many Schools and Churches
Are Now Being Constructed.
MARCH WAS Dull MONTH HERE
But Building Permits This
Week Totaled &s5, 600.
Topeka Architects Are Now
Busy Preparing Plans.

The building season in Topeka and
Kansas is now in full swing. After a
comparatively dull period in March
the first few days in April have shown
decided improvement at Topeka.
Building permits issued in the last
week aggregated $4,000. Topeka
architects are busy preparing plans
for local and out-of-town residences,
school houses, churches and business
buildings. While 1t is not ANTICIPATED
that record will be made in building
activity in the capital city this year,
realty men, architects, and contractors
are of the opinion that the showing
will compare well with former sea-
sons.
1t is not the idea to make this de-
partment hot air column but to
give the conditions in building, gen.
eral business and real estate circles as
they actually exist.
An Interesting Comparison.
The building permits issued by the
local fire chief in the first three
months of this year aggregated $174.-
ESQ as compared with $176.012 for the
same period in 1913. The showing in
January and February was exception
ally good, but as previously mentioned
there was a slump in March. Follow
ing is a comparison by months giving
the figures for 1913 and 1914:
