BACK ON The JOB
Ramsey Is Reinstated on Request of
Civil Service Commission.

J. A. Ramsey was back on the job
as city sanitary sergeant this morning
Following the meeting of the civil
service commission where the rein
statement of Ramsey was ordered the
city commission this morning ratified
the order by adopting the report.
Immediately following the adoption
of the civil service commission report,
w. L. Porter, commissioner, who dis
charged Ramsey, introduced an ordi-
nance abolishing the office of sanitary
sergeant. The ordinance first states
that the office has been found to be
useless in the Encouragement of the
department ard adds that no ordi-
nance has been found creating the po-
sition.
The ordinance abolishing the place
was read the first time and will come
up for passage at Thursdays meeting.
There appears to be no question about
its passing And if it does the rein
statement of Mr.. Ramsey will be good
only until the new ordinance goes into
effect.
The report of the civil service com
mission was signed by all three mem
bers of the commission, Mrs. H. \.
Rhodes chairman: T. B. Garrett and
r. L. Thomas.

Before spring the matter will like

Combing Won't Rid
Hair Of Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely To do this, get
about four ounces of ordinary liquid
arvon; apply it at night when retiring:
use enough to moisten the scalp and
rub it in gently with the finger tips
Do this tonight. and by morning
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
phcations will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, lust
roUs, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work.-Adver-

IT HAS A HISTORY
Rose Window Will AdOrn Grace
Cathedral on East Side.
1t Was Framed in London and
Shipped Over.

A feature of Grace Cathedral. when
it is completed. that will have an in
teresting bit of history behind it. will
be the rose window on the Polk street
side. This window was made from
glass from Westminster Abbey, in
London. 1t was material left over
from the great rose window built in
the Abbey in the 18th century by
Dean Atterbury, then dean of the Abb
hey. Dean Atterbury never saw his
window after it had been completed
and placed in the Abbey He was
charged with disloyaIty to the crown,
arrested, thrown into the Tower and
all his entreaties to be permitted to
see the great window he built We're in
vain.
The Grace Cathedral rose window
was made in London under the direc-
ton of the Dean of Westminster
Bishop Frank r. Millspaugh of To-
peka, while on a European trip, no
ticed the pieces of glass lying in the
church yard of the Abbey. They had
been broken off the Atterbury window
when it was being built. When the
bishop told the dean of the erection
of Grace Cathedral, the latter volun-
teered to give him a sufficient number
of pieces of the glass to make a rose
window. The bishop quickly accepted
the offer.
The pieces were properly cut and
under the direction of the Dean of
Westminster and shipped to Bishop
Millspaugh here. The bishop had to
pay $500 duty on the window. The
glass is richly decorated in colors and
is of the heaviest material.
The Dennis Window.
Another window that will be of un-
usual interest will be one dedicated to
the late Mrs. Dennis of this city, who
was a devoted worker in the Sunday
school during her lifetime. This win
dow will be placed in the Cathedral by
the children of the Sunday school of
the parish, who raised $500 for it.
Dean Kaye told today of several
other valuable donations that have
been made for the Cathedral. The
late Mrs. S. f. Sheldon of this city
bequeathed $500 to the Cathedral
for the pulpit and $4,000 for bells for
the church chimes. Mrs. Blish of
Atchison. also deceased, wilIed the
Cathedral 1900 toward this fund.
The ChanceI Chapter of the parish
has raised $40O for handsome brass
chancel rail
The soliciting committees are still
working and meeting encouragement
in asking for funds for the completion
of the Cathedral. Several prominent
firms and individuals who have not
decided how much they will give are
expected to subscribe liberal sums
within the next day or so.

NEWS FOR SOLDIERS
Although SaIoniki Has Five DaiIies
Another in English Appears.

Saloniki, Greece, Jan. 1S.-The
French and British troopers stationed
in Saloniki since the beginning Of the
Allied Balkan undertaking never cease
to marvel at the number of newspapers
able to live in a city of, normally, only
about 1901 inhabitants, of whom a
very large percentage cannot read or
write. Though the second city of
Greece since its conquest by the Greeks
in the last Balkan war, Saloniki has
never been and is not now in any real
sense a Greek city. Indeed, a scant
25 per cent of the population is Greek.
Yet the city supports five Greek daily
newspapers. three morning and two
afternoon journals. Besides these,
probably the most widely read of all
is the unique daily the Forward"

FORTER IS WABBL|NG
He May Not Accept the Crematory
Job After All.

Following the tender of the place
as superintendent and bookkeeper at
the city crematory to c. A Porter,
Commissioner w. L. Porter today in
troduced an ordinance creating that
position. The ordinance was read the
first time and will come up for pas
sage at Thursdays meeting of the city
commission.
Early this morning Mr.. Forter stat
ed that he would accept the appoint
ment and arrangements were made for
him to take over the city crematory
Thursday morning. But before leav-
ing for Manhattan Mr.. Forter was
wabbly about it and it is now no cinch
that he will accept the position. Mr..
Forter went to Manhattan at noon to
attend the meeting of the Kansas En-
cheering society of which he is sec
rotary and treasurer
Efforts are being made to arrange
for a substantial increase in the salary
to be paid in the new position The
first intention was to make it pay
$110 a month this year and provide in
next years budget to raise it to $125.
Commissioner Porter is now trying to
arrange to have it pay $125 month
this year By cutting out one en-
pIoyee in his department through the
consolidation of jobs he plans to save
more than enough to cover the pro-
posed increase.
If Mr. Forter accepts the position
of superintendent of the crematory it
is probable that Arthur Bowman will
have the opportunity to succeed him as
craftsman in the office of the city en-
gineer. Mr.. Bowman is now attending
the school of engineering at Kansas
university and has only six months
doubtful if he would ant to quit
school to take the job. He worked
here last summer under the city en-
gineer through vacation.
