FAVC7 KIGHER SALARY
Business Men Endorse Petitions of
City's Teachers.

The business men of Topeka are in
favor of the proposed raise in the
salaries of the school teachers of To-
peka, according to petitions presented
to the board OF education at it's regu-
lar meeting Monday night. More than
500 business men had signed the petit
tons.
The organized women of Topeka,
represented by the Woman's club, are
also in favor of the raise. The COM
m1ttee from the club, appeared before
the board Monday night and present
ed petition from the women of the
city asking that the requested raise
in salaries be granted.
No definite action was taken on the
matter by the board
The fight for higher salaries came
to light about a month ago when the
teachers were granted a bonus of $45
per year. The teachers thought this
unfair and have set about petitioning
the board, by signed requests from
business men and women.
Definite action on the proposition
of rebuilding Buchanan school was
postponed until next year on account
of the added expense owing to the
construction of the new Lincoln
school.
Colored women will have the free
use of Garfield school for their meet
ings, it was decided at the board
meeting Monday night.

TURN DOWN COAL BID
City Commissioners Refuse to Accept
Price Made on Slack.

A short time ago Frank NJ. New
land, in view of the coal shortage
conceived the idea of obtaining about
500 tons of slack coal for storage
against any crisis that might arise
this winter. The other members of
the city commission thought it good
idea and at a recent meeting the CITY
clerk was authorized to advertise for
bids.
Today a bid was opened at the
commission meeting. 1t was the only
one filed and was from the Topeka
Coal company. The firm offered to
furnish the storage coal at the rate of
$3.50 a ton for slack and $3.50 for
mill coal. Promptly some one, with
out giving any reason, moved that it
be rejected. The motion prevailed.
Commissioner Newland afterwards
explained that the price for slack coal
quoted was $1.15 a ton higher than
the price for which the city has con-
tracted the whole years supply for
1917. The contract price is $2.45.

Careless Use of Soap
Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully,
If you want to keep your hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much alkah-
This dries the scalp, makes the halr
brittle and ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is just
ordinary mulsified cocoanut OIL
(Which is pure ana greaseless), and is
better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Sim
ply moisten the hair with water ana
rub it in. 1t makes an abundance OF
rich, creamy lather, which rinses out
easily, removing every particle of dust,
dirt, dandruff and excessive OIL The
hair dries quickly and evenly, ana II
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky bright, lustrous, furry
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, ana
Il few ounces will supply every mem
Der of the family for months.-Adv.

ON The LAST LAP
Y. Nj. C.. A. War Fund Cam
paign in Full Blast.
Final Workers Reports at Big
Dinner Tonight.

Total subscriptions to the Y. NJ. c.
A. war work fund have climbed to
within $4,000 of the $4,000 goal of
Topeka, it was announced Monday
night at the opening of the final lap
of the local work. Nearly 100 former
Red Cross workers have pledged
themselves to collect the last drop
for the Y. NJ. C. A. $4,000 bucket"
The national campaign. according
to Clifford Pierce, state secretary, Is
already oversubscribed. The cam
paign was originally set at $3,00O,000,
later raised to 100000 and now the
nation must furnish $5,0OO,0O0.
TDpeke is the only city of the state
and Kansas is the only state in wI.icu
the campaign is not completed, or at
least fully subscribed. The local goal
has not been raised from the original
$4,000 in spite of these later in
creases in the national campaign. To-
peka will conclude the campaign to-
day.
A call has been received from the
foreign allies for 100000 to be sent
Immediately. Thirty-six secretaries
have already sailed for Europe and
will soon start Y. NJ. c. A work with
American money. By the time the
American soldiers are in the trenches,
Mr.. Pierce declared, the Y. M. c. A.
will be organized and established on a
firm financial basis.
Then, too, in America the appro-
priations for the work have been
found insufficient since the recent in
crease in prices of lumber, nails and
labor. The nation must have at least
$4,000 900 for the work.
The 100 workers who have made
the final effort for closing the Y. NJ
campaign with booming success are
under the leadership of Horace Hall
and D. w Mulvane, of Red Cross
fame; F. L. Geer, of the Y. NJ. c. A
