OOH, HOW THEY LIKE JAM:

London, March 16.-Jam is one
of the most important articles in
the diet of the British soldier, not
withstanding the ridiculs to which
it is subjected, particularly by Ger
man humoriStS.
Jam, says Prof. James Long, has
three and a half times the energy
value of butter. Its value lies in
its richness in sugar-of which
one-half its weights consists-in
the minerals present in the skins
of <ruit, in its laxative character
and its mechanical aid to digestion.
Besides it is toothsome and gives
a relish to army diet that by its
mental effect goes far in the main
tenance of health. No better vari-
ent could be found for diet limit
ed to simple foods.
The most nutritious and useful
varieties of jam are those made
from plum, apricot, gooseberry and
currant, but - mixture of plum and
apple stands at the head of the list.
Jam should not be considered as
a dainty but as an article of food.

rs TONS OF STEEL
State Issues Contract for 73,200
Automobile Tags.
Local Bidders Couldn't Compete
With st. Louis Firm.

Twenty-Five tons of steel or 73, 200
tags will be required to supply auto
mobile and motorcycle owners in KAN
sas this year, according to the estimate
today of J. T. Botl1in, secretary OF
state, who let the contract for the 1915
supply of automobile tags. The new
tags will be a black letter on an
orange back ground-the official color
of the Kansas Automobile association
and almost the color of the Kansas
SunflOwer.
Contract for the new supply of tags
was let to the Adams company of St
Louis, the lowest bidders. Two To-
peka firms bid for the contract, but
were unable to compete with the for
eign company. One local bidder was
$1,01S.50 higher than the successful
bidder, while the other was $1,464
above the low mark.
The contract today calls for $500
automobile license plates and $500
motorcycle plates. Automobile tags
this year will cost seven cents, whole
sale, while the motorcycle plates Will
cost five cents. This is a total first
cost OF S5,632 and does not include ex-
pense of addressing, mailing and pre-
pairing the record compiled in the sec
retary Of states office. To make the
1918 tags, 25 tons of steel will be used
by the St. Louis firm. All the tags
must be delivered before June 1, this

UP PRINCE
Report Says Kaiser Has Ban
ished His Oldest Son.
That's Why Nothing Has Been
Heard of Him.

Paris, March 16.-The mystery of
the whereabouts of the German crown
prince was penetrated Monday when
the news was received from Alsace
that the kaiser had banished his eld-
est son to a remote castle in Ger
many.
Several disputes occurred between
the kaiser and his son soon after the
outbreak of the war. These finally
eliminated in a violent quarrel. AS
the result of a proclamation issued to
his troops at Christmas time the kais-
er summoned him to Potsdam where
they again quarreled violently, the
kaiser accusing his son of being med
d1esome.
The emperor's fury is said to have
been terrible and as a climax of his
wrathy TRADE he almost struck his
wilful heir. Then suddenly he grew
deadly calm and divesting himself of
his role of father and acting as COM
mander-in-chief of the army, he
stripped the crown prince of his rank
in the Prussian army and banished
him to solitude where his voice can
not be heard
That is why no word about the
crown prince has been printed in Ger
many for the last two months.

LOOKS NATURAL NOW
Clouds, Hiding sun. Checkered Ground
in Gloom Today.

This was the twelfth cloudy day
this month. Fourteen cloudy days in
March, 1906, is the record for en-
tire March in the last IS years-looks
though this record would be smash
ed by the end of this week.
The last thirty days has constituted
the worst thirty day period of gloom
on record at Topeka. There have
been four clear days, four partly
cloudy days, and twenty-five days of
gloom. The nearest approach to this
record was the period between No
vennber 26 and December "a, 1913,
when there were eight clear days, two
partly cloudy days, and twenty days
of gloom.
March is the most tickle month of
the year. 1t is subject to more varia-
tions in temperature, cloudineSS, wind
velocity, etc. Strange to relate. the
clearest month in the history of the
local government weather records was
March, 1910 when there were twen-
ty-eight clear days But despite the
usual impression March is not the
windy month of the year; it takes
second place. April has the distinc
tions
