STRAWBERRY JAM
DRESSES UP TEA TIME
Here's a Jar of 1t Discovered.
Some Little Discs for
the Telephone

MAYBE I'm peculiar, but II call on
Vl n friend for an afternoon chat l
always have n much better time II she
has something to eat. And by the same
token 7 should feel tnat I had not ful-
Allied nv duties as hostess If | didn't
have at least a cup of tea for any
guest But the strawberry conserve
discovered today Is real treat Tor
any time. whether it be with afternoon
tea or for luncheon or dinner. The pest
way to describe it is by saying 1t tastes
Just the way you always have thought
preserved Strawberries ought to taste.
You can purchase a jar for thirty-hve
cents and I'll wager that the man of
the house will be forced to admit that
1t far excels anything that mother at
her best used to make.
Somehow, every time | look in our
telephone | feel like crossing my fingers.
It's such lovely pace for all sorts
Of mischievous germs to collect and,
while I'm not health crank, ] can't
help thinking that phone mouthpieces
are insaniiary Even the family phone
isn't exempt. and because I feel this
way about the matter and also because
I know there must be others who feel
the same way, | want to tell you of
little antiseptic. They come in boxes
the mouthriece. They come in boxes
Of eight and can he secured for fifteen
cents. They do not interfere with sound
transmission in any way and they're
the best little burying ground for dust
and germs you ever saw.
I wonder if you. too. have a tender
spot in your heart for the old-fashionec
| school companion. Fancy baskets ant
| boxes nay be all very well, but schoo
companion brings back memories Of you
own school days. Those I saw toda!
| will tempt you to buy one for the litties
| girl, or littlest boy who is just starting
| to school 1t includes pencils, pen an,
holder and crasers, and the price Is onl
| thirtv-fVc cents.

Bank On Wilson Appeal.
Practically no interest in the COM
ing county election was evident until
within the last ten days. The universal
sentiment among the Republicans
seems to be that Wilson's recent ap-
peal has aroused the voters; that it
will have the effect of DOT only turn
ing many otherwise Democratic votes
to the Republicans, but will bring to
the polls Tuesday many Republicans
who would not otherwise have come.
The Democrats, on the other hand,
believe it will turn votes in their IA
vor.
Men who have been forced to OBJ
serve politics in their line of duty for
years predict 10000 majority in the
county for Cappep for senator, with
the state and county tickets following
close behind.
The only county offices for which
there is evidence of a close contest are
those of representative of the Thirty
third district, where L. H. Neiswen-
der on the Republican ticket is op-
posed by J. B. Billiard, Democrat, and
trict, where Frank Simms, on the
Democratic ticket. is running against
Boyd Pollom.
Democrats Have Blanks.
For number of the county offices,
the Democrats have no candida ties.
These comprise: clerk of the district
court, county treasurer county attor-
ney, county coroner, county surveyor,
marshal of the court of Tooeka and
clerk of the court of Topeka. The Re
publican candidates are all asking the
second term. with the exception of
