signing of the armistice, a beginning of
week and display of the signs Of the
various unions in the shops. The men
carried flags of all the allied nations as
well MS sundry things which were used
to make as much noise possible Each
of the demonstrators wore what might be
called an ear to ear grim" AS the men
formed in line on Branner street before
occurred which was symbolical of the
meaning of the parade. At the head of
the band a number of white pigeons con-
stant1y flew over the heads of the men.

will remain long in the memory of the
persons observing the spectacle.

water and eat less meat.

When your kidneys hurt and your
back feels sore, don't get~scared and
proceed to load your stomach with a

and irritate the entire urinary tract.
Keep your kidneys clean like you keep
your bowels clean. by flushing them
with mild, harmless salts which re-
moves the body's urinous waste and
stimulates them to their normal ac-
tivjty. The function of the kidneys Is
TO filter the blood. In "a hours they
strain from it 500 grains of acid and
waste, so we can readily understand
the vital importance of keeping the
kidneys acriye.
Drink lots of water-you can't drink
too much. also get from any PARMA

HIGH SCHOOL CELEBRATES
Youngsters Parade, March and Swipe
TOPS of Garbage Cans.

Youngsters Parade, March and Swipe
Tops of Garbage Cans.
The Topeka high school held the
shortest session in 4 its history this
morning. Hardly had classes been as
sembled when the. young Americans
decided demonstrations were more in
order than lessons. Vainly the instruc-
tors hand tried to restrain them, but
boys and girls together marched out
and joined in the big demonstrations
on Kansas avenue.
The youngsters did a snake dance
on the avenue, then they raided the
residence districts and collected the
tops Of all the garbage cans in order
that they might make more. noise.
Back to the avenue they again joined
the paraders and then branched out
for themselves again.
They decided the Santa Fe general
offices should let out for the day and
marched thru the offices in an en-
the general managers offices were
invaded. Then the high school boys
and girls went to the state house,
cheered the governor and paraded thru
the corridors. The high school was
next on their line of march and then
some one passed the word that a big
parade was passing on Kansas avenue
A mad scramble to get into this fol-
lowed and the organization of the
youngsters was literally SWALLOWED
up few minutes later.
Sumner school students also took
matters into their hands and declared
holiday, joining the high school boys
on Kansas avenue.

diately. The supply is good this year.
as all the farmers seem to have been
raising turkeys, and by goyernment
order the young turkeys have been
kept, SO that the supply for the spec
ial season will be at its best.
''See those empty crates out there,
Cope continued. they will come back
to us in a little while filled with the
best looking birds Kansas ever raised.
The price isn't going to be much
higher than usual this year, either"
he said IT believe the price on
pound above last years price. The
advance in the price of chickens is
coz 'derably higher.
The Big Feast Day.
NORMALLY about 5000 turkeys are
consumed in this market at Thanks
giving time. That number will proba
bly, Increase considerably this year
Thanksgiving has come to be pre-emI-
nently the feast day, and Christmas
the gift day. So the November festi-
val is marked by the amount OF food
&C nsumed and the December rejoicing
by the bestowal of presents"
Cope grows enthusiastic over the
delicacy of guinea meat. Lots OF
guineas are being raised in this state,
he says, land the meat is delicious
when properly prepared. 1t is much
less expensive than turkey, too. Ducks
are going to be much higher this year
than usual and geese probably cheap
err. The low price of ducks in former
wears has driven out the duck raising
business. while the geese still cackle
in the farm yards and always will, no
difference what the price of them, so
long as the feminine portion OF the
rural communities take an inherent
pride in the deep feather beds and
downy pillows usually to be found IN
country homes"
The food administration has added
to the reasons for being thankful this
year. Plenty of cranberry sauce is to
be available. for the allowance OF
sugar is increased in time for the
making of jelly, sauce. tarts, etc. that
furnish so large a part of the delights
of a gastronomic debauch on Thanks
giving day,
