THE PHONE SUBSCRIBERS KICK

1t is easy to imagine chorus of private and public
'Amens" going up last night readers of the Times
Recorder perused the letter of local merchant crit
icsng the telephone service in Americas If there is
thing the people of this community have been long suf
ferng about for weeks and months it is the telephone
service which being public service, the people feel
they have perfect right lambast if it suits them.
The Times-Recorder has had scores of kicks on the
character of service rendered here and has also itself
he'd repeated for complaint, but being tolerant
and knowing of the difficulties be3ettng the tel
ephone companies has refraned from public comment
criticism However, it did not feel that it called
upon suppress the written complaint of acitizen of
the community who brought his letter to the office in
person so that there would be doubt in the minds
of the management as to the authorship of the letter
The local exchange charge great deal of its
unpopularity just at this time to its secretvenessto
its policy of not letting the public in what it is do
ing. The information has been conveyed by hints and
otherwise that extensive changes are being made in
the switchboard other mechanical features of the
plant and that much of the trouble which the public is
constantly experiencing is the result of this fact And
it is also limited that there will be important
along this line some future-indefimte
date
And in the meantime the public goes right on get
ting wretched service and in return cussing" the tel
ephone company
If the telephone company is doing the best that
be done and the present service is chargeable
conditions resulting from improvements in the plant
which will shortly make for good service the company
in justice to itself and its local manager, should
the public into its confidence and keep the
secret The public is often hard to please but, being
made up of human beings, likes to be honestly dealt
with: it likes the that lays the cards the
table, takes it into its confidence and says eve know
our goods service is not up to the standard, but
trying hard, and giving you the best we can
without shutting down entirely and if you will bear
with little while longer there will be no cause for
complaint"
Maybe that the truth of the situation of the tee-
phone company here If it would to be mistake
in policy not to tell the public frankly for until the
public is informed it will feel certain that the truth
lies elsewhere The Times Recorders news columns are
open to the telephone company to tell the people where
the trouble lies.

CAKE WEIGHED 40 LBS.
Topeka Engineers Celebrated First
Birthday With Huge Spread.

Liberty No. 8. auxiliary of the To-
peka lodge of the National Associa-
ton of Stationary Engineers, held a
birthday party Tuesday evening at its
hall to celebrate the success of the
first years work. The members had
large birthday cake with one candle
on it. The cake was IS inches square,
9 inches high and weighed nearly 40
pounds. 1t was a white cake with
white icing trimmed in pink bearing
the inscription Liberty No. 81 in pink
and was surmounted by one lonely
candle in the center.
The principal event of the evening
was the trial of Commissioner W. A.
Stanfield. who is a member of the En-
gineers' association, on a charge of
committing breach of etiquet and vio-
lating the rules of the lodge by light
ing a cigaret on the candle of the
birthday cake and smoking it in the
lodge room when ladies were present
The jury was unable to agree on a de-
cision and the case was about to be
dismissed when few of the members
took the law in their own hands and
attempted to hang the offender with a
piece of cord but he, being a good pol
itician. succeeded in bribing the leader
of the gang with a cigaret and OBJ
tanned his freedom.
There were one hundred members
of the engineers and auxiliary present

A DISCOVERY THAT
BENEFITS MANKIND

Two discoveries have added greatly
to human welfare.
In 1885 Newton originated the vac
uum process for condensing milk with
cane sugar to semi-Hquid form.
In 1888 Horlick at Racine, Wis, disc
covered how to reduce milk to dry
porder form with extract of matted
grains, zrithom cane sugar.
This product HoRLIck named
Matted milk. (Name since copied
by others.) It's nutritive value,
digestibility and ease of preparation
(by simply stirring in water) and the
fact that it keeps in any climate,
has proved of much value to mankind
as an ideal food-drink from infancy
to old age.
