HOT WEATHER GLUTToNY::

L w
II is one of those elementary, those
aboriginal institutions which stand
at the center of the world. serving as
the base whereon. many Of the dear
est activities Of humanity have crys"
taliixed. We hazard the guess that
an absolutely perfect analysis of many
of our ailments and most Of our pessl-
misms would trace these evils direct
TO the dinner table. A poor COOK may
ruin mans reputation. On the other
hand. much of the JOY Of life may be
found to emanate from the board at
which the right genius of cookery pre-
sides.
What a man eats today will be
walking about and thinking tomorrow.
Emerson somewhere says that real
man can live on dried grass and old
boots If necessary. We do not believe
this possible, tho the leathery counte-
nances Of certain acquaintances would
sometimes make one suspicious of SUCH
a diet It is impossible to build bad
material into the human system and
not have it crop out in abnormality or
weakness. A man may eat in secret,
but his complexion will somehow pub
lish his bill Of fare. He may indulge
a private gluttony, but the world will
find it out in due time
Too many housewives look upon
cooking as a hateful interruption OF
other more important and agreeable
tasks. This is serious mistake. If
there is anything more important in
the whole gamut of womanly occu-
pations the present writer is at loss
to name it. If housewife considers
cooking unimportant, she reveals a
lack Of understanding life and the way
the universe Is made. A good meal
Is work of art. 1t is a masterpiece
Of which a Michael Angelo might be
proud. 1t is a symphony wrought out
in beefsteak and potatoes. 1t is a kind
Of music that makes itself felt rather
than heard. It is many other good
things which put one In tune with the
infinite.
That Russian master physician, Pro-
fessor Pawlow, discovered that the
mere sight Of a tastefully prepared
meal sets UP the processes Of digestion
and causes the appetite juices to flow
But when the coffee is riled, and the
potatoes fall into ones stomach "ker-
chunk" and the butter is a pool OF
oil on a smeary dish, and the debris OF
kitchen labor Is scattered about the
table, ones eyes are insulted and the
appetite Juices refuse to flow. An un-
inviting meal, minus appetite juice
| equals dyspepsia. Ones eyes must be
fed as we'll as the stomach.
A meal is a work of art in the
strictest sense Of that expression when
it is what it ought to be, but it is
even more than that-it Is a religious
| sacrament. The life within us needs
constantly to draw new sources OF
| supply from the life outside us. And
| 1t is one of the strangest things in a
| universe so full Of strange things thai
| the power who made it all ordained
that 1t should be thru the instrument
tally Of vegetables and cereals an6
meats that his life should flow. into
and mingle with our lives. Eating is
a sacrament, kind of perpetual com.
munion table so that it is not strange
| that mankind has always considered i
a kind Of religious act
Who Is the best cook? The one
| that feeds our eyes and makes us want
| to say grace over our meals.

be 1OS years old attended one Of the
Billy Sunday meetings here and every-
one who saw him pltied him. He was a
wrinkled shadow Of a man who, had
lived beyond his time.
The chief end of man should not be
so much to live to be 80 or 80 years old
as to get the most out Of the years that
he does live and the only way to do
that is to live rightly which means
sanely, temporarily, usefully, with due
regard to the rights and feelings OF
others. Living that way you may not
exist FOR a great span of years, but you
will have the satisfaction Of knowing
that you made the most Of the years
that were allotted you.-Kansas City

THE NICKEL LOAF.
Ciouy Cifv I01lrOaI1

The typical American family, you
and me-" Is facing a new menace.
Thrifty master bakers Of the United
States, gathered at Salt Lake City, have
determined that the nickel loaf Is mis-
fit from an economic and efficiency
standpoint and are preparing to issue
loaves in the dime size only.
One speaker told the master bakers
that the economic loss on 1000 nickel
loaves is 1886 and he submitted sta
tistics to prove this point. 1t goes
without saying that the master bakers
will not long continue to produce a
product that pushes the loss margin
that high. Therein lies the menace to
the aforesaid American family.

GET THE SLACKERS.

Boone News RepubllcdH.J
There arc slackers also in the pay
ment Of automobile licenses. according
to the best information. 1t Is said
that every county in Iowa Is oelns
cheated out of $1,000 year by "o-
lation of the automo bile license law.
Ten thousand vehicles. 1t Is said, that
should be taxed under the law, are not
assessed. This is done by running
without new number, by the use OIL
demonstration numbers, and by making
one license protect two machines.
1t hardly seems possible that a man
who is able to run an automobile
would be mean enough to try to escape
paying the easy tax which Is assessed
to 1t. especially since no property tax
Is added by the assessor on automo-
biles. Yet there seems to be plenty OF
them who evade the law.
Some steps should be taken to stop
this leak. It is not fair to owners OF
automobiles who come clean. The law
should be made more stringent and
ways devised whereby violation can be
more easily detected.

Harlan Opens ROOsevelt's Cam.
paign in Chicago Speech.
Is Candidate for Delegate at
Large to G.. o. P. Convention.
HOT SHOT At PAGIFISTS
Nation Surrounded by Foreign
Dangers of Many Kinds.
Only Teddy and Adequate Pre-
parednesS Can Save Z. S.

Chicago, ILL.,, March John May
nard Harlan today opened his cam
paign for delegate-at-large to the Re
publican national convention with u
speech at the Garrick theater in which
he urged that the state of Illinois lay
aside all native son ambitions and
unite in supporting Theodore Roose-
welt as the one available candidate
who can unite all the factions within
the nation and make the stars and
stripes feared and respected through
out the world.
Mr.. Harlan is publicly pledged to
work for the nomination of Roosevelt,
and in the course of his speech he pre-
dicted that if Roosevelt were not
placed in charge of affairs at Wash
ington the country would face over
whelming disaster in the near future.
Mr.. Harlan spoke in part as follows:
81 am a candidate for election as
delegate to the Republican national
convention. If successful, / shall work
and vote for the nomination of Theo-
dore Roosevelt as the Republican
president. Four years ago l opposed
making Theodore Roosevelt president
again. But there has been a tremen-
dous change since then.
Neutral right has been flouted by
belligerent might throughout the
world. American citizenship has fall
en- to a heavy discount everywhere.
This nation is now in real peril-a
peril all the greater because many do
not realize that it exists. Republicans
of every shade of opinion should put
aside all individual and factioral re-
sentiment. and, forgetting those things
which are behind and reaching forth
unto those things which are before,
should press forward for he high
achievement of national unity and
safety.
Were the times less perilous,
should join other Republicans of Illi-
nois in seeking to nominate for the
presidency a son of Illinois. able, clean,
patriotic and conscientious. But when
the nation is in danger, cur thought
must be of our whole country first.
and of Illinois only as a part of the
country having interests in common
with every other part. 1t is the pa
triotic duty of the people of Illinois
( to see to Vt that, when the critical
hour shall come for casting the final
ballot at tie Republican convention,
the mandate to the Illinois delegates
shall be to vote solidly. not to crafty
state pride or express personal choice,
but to supply the need of the nation
That need is for a man whose fame
and standing are nationwide and
worldwide, the very presence of
whom in the White House would be
as a sword and buckler against for
eign aggression. That man is Theo-
dore Roosevelt.
Preparedness the Issue
THE paramount, all-absorbing issue
in the next presidential contest must
be preparedness for national defense
preparedness not only against ag-
gression from without, but against
disloyalty and fatuous over-confidence
within.
Theodore Roosevelt can unite and
sOlidify every class of our citizenship
He does not recognize any differ ence

Don't stay gray. Nobody can tell when

Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull.
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with
wonderful effect. By asking at any
drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get a large
bottle of this old-time recipe, i'm
proved by the addition of other ingre-
dients, all ready to use. for about so
cents. This simple mixture can be
depended upon to restore natural col
or and beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair. taking one
strand at a time. BY morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two. it is restored to
its natural color and looks glossy. soft
and beautiful. This preparation is a
delightful toilet requisite. It is not
intended for the cure. mitigation or
prevention of disease.-Advertise

The State Journals Appeal for
Improved Highways
Already Is Bringing Results in
Shawnee County.
PLAN ROCK ROAD TO KIRO
North Side Farmers Appear Be-
fore County Commissioners.
Ready to Do Their Part in Pro-
noting Improvement.

Plans to circulate petitions for the
building of a rock or concrete road
on the upper Silver Lake highway
between the Boys Industrial school. a
short distance northwest of the city.
and Kiro are on foot among property
owners living on the road and the
Shawnee county commissioners The
stretch of highway where such an
improvement is being contemplated is
four miles in length. The upper Sill
yer Lake highway is a section Of the
principal ocean to ocean highway for
motorists and IS one of the most traV-
eled roads in the state.
A delegation of property owners
living along the road called on the
county con- missioners in an effort to
induce the county to gravel three
miles of the stretch which is not oiled.
Before the delegation left someone
mentioned. rock road for the project
and the scheme was taken up by both
the commissioners and the property
owners. Since that time the idea mas
been growing and plans to circulate
the petitions are under way. J. w.
Cochran headed the delegation at the
commissioners office.
The Hodges Road Law.
Plans for building the road are be-
ing made under the Hodges rock road
law. The estimated cost of building
such a road is $4,000 Il mile. One
mile of the stretch has been oiled. If
the rock or concrete is not laid over
the oil the cost will be only $4,000. If
the rock is laid over the oil the cost
will be $4,000
Under the Hodges law, the property
owners will pay 50 per cent of the
cost of constructing the road, the
county 25 per cent and the township
25 per cent.
Plans now under way are regarded
by Fred Nipps, chairman of the COM
mission, and others as the beginning
of a new era in Shawnee county for
road building. The idea of rock roads
has been strongly injected into Kansas
by California, the state which has per-
haps the finest roads in the world,
barring not even the famous highways
of England and France.
The location of the improvement is
in the richest farm land district in the
state Besides the fact that the Sill
yer Lake road is on the maiu high
way from Kansas City to Denver II
is the most popular road in the CEN
trail west.
