Most brushes with handles are dried

string at the end. Then they can be

brush should never be dried on it's
back. In fact, no brush should be
dried in this way. For then the
water and moisture on the bristles
drips down into the back and eventu-
ally loosens the moorings of the
bristles. Such brushes should be dried
on their side or with bristles down.
The only trouble with drying them
bristle-side down is that this may bend
the bristles in a light brush
Often hair brushes and clothes
brushes are made with an ornamental
back that ought not to be placed in
the ammonia solution. In this case
the brush should be lowered carefully
into the solution and then raised. In
the same way it should be rinsed and
then carefully dried before allowing
the bristles to dry 1t should be dried
on its side. 1t is always a good idea
to leave hair brushes in the sun some
time after drying. In fact, a sun bath
is good for a hair brush frequently be-
tween washings.
Few persons realize that tooth
brushes ought to be washed. But
they should. They should be dipped
into a solution of ammonia and water
rubbed between the fingers and then
rinse in warm water and dried in the
sun.

RADIO co. NEEDS CASH
Big Dance VIII Be Given at KcIla.n
Hall Friday.

Friday evening at Kellam hall the
Radio company will give its big bene-
fit dance, by which they hope to ra1se
the money for the company fund,
a necessary adjunct TO eacn 1llltary
unit these days.
The Radio men explain the need for
a company fund in their particular
case, in this wise; it seems that the
government allows 80 cents day for
grub for each man. The Radio COM
pany'S mess sergeant in common with
all new mess sergeants, being mex
perienced at the game, does not know
how, on so small a sum, to properly
feed so many men. Presto! II the
company does not have a fund the
men will have to starve while their
mess sergeant is learning his business.
In all probability Company A of
the Signal Corps will be the most
thoroly prepared body of men that
has yet left or soon will leave Topeka,
for military training. Of the Is men
in the company, IA are expert wire
less operators, SO are non-commis-
stoned officers, 80 are first class pri-
Yates, and only six are privates
Capt Elmer Stahi, the superintend-
ent of the electric light plant. is an
electrical engineer with experience
and a thoro technical training. He is
one of the famous old Aggie football
stars First Lieut.. William C. Cars
well has had six years experience as
an expert wireless operator in the
service of the United States govern
ment. He served in the Philippines for
several years. Chester Thomas. junior
lieutenant, has had a year and half
at military school,
The Radio company each night
studies it's work at the high school,
where a wireless outfit with electrical
equipment is available. the men are
becoming thOroly converSant with
THAR f,1t11re dtItieS Monday and Fri
day nights are devoted to drill.
When the men entrain for Fort
Riley August they will require but
a very short period of training to fully
equip them for actual work in the
field To the present they have re-
ceived only their uniforms, but when
they are ready for the field they will

cient of Topeka's military organiza-

BEE ADAMS IN AGAIN
Notorious Negro BOOtleggcr Charged
With a Felony by Sheriff.
"Bee" Adams is in again.

A few days ago Johanna Adams,
Bees wife, went to Kansas City. The
sheriff's office found it out and this
morning a trunk, shipped as baggage
and billed to Johanna, arrived at the
Rock Island depot. An expressman
appeared and showed a baggage
check for the trunk. he declared Jo-
hanna has mailed to him. Johanna
didn't come home herself.
Hugh Larimer, sheriff, and o. w.
Carlson, deputy sheriff, were in eye
shot of the depot when the express
man obtained the trunk and followed
him. He drove in the general direc-
ton of the three bridges and shortly
Bee" came out of a house and
Jumped in the wagon. The sheriff
waited until the wagon had nearly
reached the three bridges before
stopping it.. 1t was stopped, however,
and inside the trunk was found sew
eral quarts of whisky.
The expressman said he didn't know
what the trunk contained and was
released. Bee" told the same story
but Larimer refused to take his word
for it and jailed him. A warrant
charging Adams with n felony has
been issued in the court of Topeka
Johanna hasn't cnme home yet.

HE'LL TAKE ACTION
Governor To Act in POttaWatO-
mic Sheriff Matter.
May Issue an Order Friday
Ousting C. d. Ladner.

Governor Capper will doubtless issue
an order Friday removing Sheriff c.
D. Ladner of Pottawatomie county
from the draft exemption board. For
NAL charges looking to Ladner's re-
moval as sheriff of Pottawatomie
county are also threatened.
In many localities in Pottawstomie
county petitions are being circulated
today asking the governor to remove
Iadner from the exemption board. No
official action will be taken until the
petitions are presented to the governor
Friday In state house circles it is
generally conceded that Ladner will
be removed from the board. In fact
the governor has already indicated
that Ladner will go. The cause for
his removal is directly due to an
utterance in a letter to Col. J. D Nor
ton, diSbursing agent for the governor.
In an insiStent demand for his fees as
member of the registration board,
Ladner declared he didn't owe the
government a cent
Citizens Indignant.
Residents of Pottawatomie county
are indignant over the unpatriotic ut
terances of Ladner. Today reports in
dicated that demand would be made
for the sheriff's removal from office.
He can be removed from office only
lOI cause anu IIdI cause must state
dereliction of duty. The utterance in
Ladner's letter to Col. Norton, while
sufficient to justify his removal from
the exemption board, is not in itself
sufficient ground for his removal as
sheriff of the county.
Reports sent to Governor Capper
today, however, indicated that formal
charges would be filed against Ladner
by residents of Pottawatomie and
Riley counties. They allege that
Ladner has winked at law violation
and has violated his oath of office.
One complaint received by Cover
nor Capper today stated that Ladner
as sheriff permitted a carnival COM
pany to advertise and Stage~two prize
fights in the county. One of the
fights was a knockout, it is declared.
Ladner is alleged to have had per-
sonal knowledge of the plan of the
carnival company and to- have made
no effort to stop the fights
Fights Are Illegal.
Prize fighting in Kansas is in vio-
lation of the general statutes and a
sheriff who winks at prize fights is
subject to removal from office So
far as the letter of the law is con-
cerned. there is no difference between
winking at prize fighting and winking
at the greatest of Kansas offenses, the
sale of intoxicating liquor.
Ladner is a Republican. He is serv-
| ing his first term as sheriff On two
| former occasions he was defeated for
| election Now the county is said to
he clamoring for the sheriff's scalp
| and a number of prominent business
men in the county threaten to follow
! the petitions for Ladner's removal
| from the exemption board with de-
| mand that he be ousted from office.

BOYS ARE HAPPY
Sammies in France Are Being
Given Fine Treatment.
French Give Them the Best
They Have To Offer.
BY DANIEL DILLON.

Permanent A m r n Training
Camp in France, July 19.-Passed by
the censor.-i.Sammy'' is taking to
the French system of billeting with
smile. He enjoys to the utmost the
! tinge of domesticity, which it gives to
his life.
The French civilians with whom the
American soldiers are quartered, are
more than pleased with their guests
liberality, their sunny disposition and
their readiness to lend a helping hand
in every household task The Sam
| mics are trying to introduce Ameri-
can ways of living They frown in
good natured way upon the paucity
| of water and protest in a friendly
spirit against the French system of
sleeping with the windows closed.
The French in turn, insist upon Civ
| ing their guests every possible atten-
ton They insist on the SammieS us
| ing the best rooms in the house and
| look after all the little needs of their
guests with a touching thoughtfulness.
Teach Sammies French.
The attentive hosts are constantly
| busy trying to find something to do
| to please the "Sammies." They are
| particularly anxious that their guests
should be always spick and span, so
| they continually ask if there aren't
some clothes to brush or buttons to
| their best to teach their guests the
| fundamentals of the French language.
Those of the American soldiers who
were at the Mexican border are mix
| ing their English with smatterings of
| Spanish, which provokes much laugh
| ter among the French listeners.
| The troops have their own eating
messes and often bring home to their
| French admirers some choice bits
| They turn in early at night and are
| up early in the morning. Before they
| leave for breakfast they are served
with a cup of coffee by their hosts.
| Men Feel Isolated.
| Tossome extent the men feel slight
| ly isolated. They wonder whether
! their families back in the United
| States know where they are and what
| they are doing. They are eager for
| news from America and anxious to get
| word back home.
The troops are in splendid health
and in fine spirits. They are eager to
get into action. Food is apparently
plentiful here.
The French officers are confident
of victory now that America IS active
ly in the war.

Not in 4 moment of pleasure, but
in a moment of sadness, the Paris de-
signers turned their attention to friv-
olous things. They kept their hands
busy and their shops open, by making
fantastic ornaments, bis of rare
needlework and extraordinary bags
that reflected all the epochs through
which women have found it necessary
to dangle something from the hand.
France did not have leather for
bags, so she used up bits of cloth,
pieces of brocade, splashes of rare
embroidery, colorful tassels and gay
streamers. BY all of this work, she
put the handbag on the highest PIN
nacle of fashion which it has yet oc-
cupied.

and gold colored silk with a black

Topeka has become the headquar-
tiers of another big eastern life insur-
ance company with the esta blishment
of offices in the New England build
ing by J; M Dearingz state agent for
pany of New York.
Mr. bearing took the state agency
for the Manhattan company a short
time ago after giving up a district
agency for the Equitable company in
Colorado. His former headquar ters
were at Pueblo.
Mr. bearing was considered one of
the big insurance men of Colorado: it
is expected that he will build up a
big business for his new company in
Kansas. 1t was stated at his office
this morning that he intends to en-
ploy between ~ and Is agents in

New York, July 16.-France turned
her attention to accessories when she
found herself somewhat hampered in
the invention of clothes because of an
unfashionable public and a lack of
men workers.
The French accessory is one of the
things that rank with the salad, the
fish and the monuments of Paris.
Some other nation may try to do these
things as well as France does, but as
far as the world has gone, no nation
has as yet equalled her.
