MOST NUTRITIOUS FOOD
SOLD IN TOPEKA

Topeka women should know that
minnesota macaroni, besides being
so delicious, is also four times as nutri-
tious as beef-steak and six times as
nutritious as potatoes.
minnesota" IN a o n contains
more proteids than most foods and is
therefore more strength giving and
less fattening. If it is served often in
place of meat the whole family will
be much healthier. And, besides. it
will reduce the cost of living as Min
nesota" macaroni costs only one cent
a dish.
There is big difference in maca-
roni as sold in the stores. Insist on
"Minnesota'' macaroni, made from
genuine Durum wheat with all the
wonderfully nourishing Gluten left in.
You can get 1t in long pieces or cut
into uniform short lengths.-Adver-
tisement.

TODAY'S BEAUTY
SUGGESTIONS

Face powder simply covers up an
unattractive complexion and leaves
no lasting benefits Those who have
tried a simple spurmax face lotion find
it much better, as it removes skin
discoIorations, such as freckles and
tan, and makes the skin smooth. white
and velvety. This lotion is made by
dissolvfng four ounces of spurmax in
one-half pint hot water, then adding
two teaspoonfu1s of glycerin. This
complexion beautifier does not rub
off or show like powder, and gives a
more refined appearance 1t removes
both shininess and sallowness, rapid
" giving the skin a permanent
healthy, youthful appearance
An especially fine shampoo for this
weather can be had at trifling expense
by dissolving a teaspoonfu1 of can
throx in a cup of hot water Pour
slowly on scalp and massage briskIy.
This creates a soothing. cooling lather
that dissolves and removes all dam
druff, excess oil and dirt. Rinsing
leaves the scalp spotlessly clean, soft
and plant, while the hair takes on a
glossy richness of natural color, also
much heavier than it is. After can
throx shampoo arranging the hair is a
D1easure.-Ad

The Paden Well.

The Ardmoreite published an inter
view with a well informed oil man
few days ago in which it was stated
that the dip of the Bartlesyille sand
was estimated at 30 feet to the mile
and concluded by saying that the
Paden well was not IN that prolific
sand. The interview was widely pub
lished through the Oklahoma press,
and reports from Paden seem to bear
out the statements made.

Farlin of the McMan company at
Tulsa last night and up to that time
no news had reached Tulsa concern
ing the Paden we'll Reports which
reached the newspapers indicate that
the well is disappointment to its
owners. There seems to be a lack
of gas and the company is thinking
of firing a shot 70 increase the flow
and to re-discoyer the gas. Drilling
on the well was not interrupted
throughout the day Thursday, but the
results must have been very disap-
pointing. This is important news for

that if another Gushing had been
