TO- PREVENT WASTE OF GAS.

Occasionally when cooking some
thing boils over and in time the gas
lets become clogged up and waste
gas. To prevent, take your gas jets
and boil them in good soapy water,
then force dirt from each of the holes
with a nail Then try your jet and
you will find it burns much better.

Stories
of
Kansans


Along in the early COS. before
Frank Grimes became state treasurer
to succeed David H. F1efleboWer, he
came to Topeka to spend a week
looking after some political affairs. In
those days Grimes lived in Loot.
Wichita county. This particular trip
was in the days of the Populist re-
gime and Kansas was suffering from
Populism, grasshopperS and hot winds.
Everyone was feeling the effects OF
the financial stringency.
Yet on this particular occasion,
Grimes wanted to make strong
showing with the powers of state. So
he went to the old Copeland hotel,
called for good room and handed
his handbag to a bell boy. Grimes
drew a room on the second floor
one of the most gorgeous in the hotel.
The bell boy showed him all OF the
conveniences.
Then he led him to a tile floor
bath room with a new enamel tub.
-tGee," sighed Grimes, who recalled
that It was only Monday morning. Il
can hardly wait till Saturday night"
