That Is Latest Ruling Made by
Miss Wooster.
MAY INCREASE The SHORTAGE
Drug Store Faces Are Classed
With Tobacco Habits.
Women May Use Plain Talcum
but Nothing Else.
No smokes. No cheWs.
No cosmetics. No powder. No Paint.
Kansas teachers please take notice.

Miss Lorraine L. Wooste state su-
perintendent of public instruction, is
the late spring frost that threatens the
already short teacher crop. Miss
Wooster has already laid down to-
bacco rules for the mere man teacher.
Today she jerked the school ma'ams
up short. The dreamy eyed, dimpled
SJseen of the school room must leave
her drug store complexion at home
~ resign.
From every section of Kansas have
come loud walls from school boards.
They have encountered all manner of
trouble in finding teachers to direct
the course of budding manhood and
womanhood.
Threatens More Trouble.
Now Miss Wooster has laid down
a rule that threatens further trouble.
The ban on liquor has been enforced
against teachers for a number of years
Miss Wooster supplemented this de-
cree with an order against tobacco
Now she is alter the school mistress
with a complexion box.
1t is just as Wrong for a person to
absorb poison thru the flesh thru
the mouth or nose" Miss Wooster as
serted today 4 mean to enforce the
rule against teachers using rouge and
paint just as much as l do against
the man using tobacco"
What is more, Miss Wooster asserts
she has sufficient authority under the
law to make good her threat. She eX-
poets to ask county superintendent
and boards of education to refuse en-
ployment TO women who paint or men
who use tobacco.
Says She Has Authority.
There are any number of cases 1
can cite where such action has been
upheld" declared Miss Wooster. The
TiRhf Tpf11Sa La 70
who use tobacco has been made clear
by the courts. l think the same rule
Will apply in the ease of women teach
erS who paint their faces"
The state superintendent doesn't de-
ny to the teacher the right to use
plain white talcum. But that is all.
Il don't believe there is a large per
cent OF the tea cheers who overstep that
bound Miss Wooster stated, but If
they do. they should be removed.
Teachers are employed to set examples
70 our boys and girls as we'll as to
teach. They can't teach a child not
to use poisons and then use them"
Says It's Her Duty.
Recently Miss Wooster refused tc
discuss a business matter with a fed
eral school representative who smelled
sof tobacco. She gave him to under
stand that the government must send
men to her who were not addicted to
tobacco or she would not receive them
Vow she wants all such men removed
from the school room.
AS long as I am state superintend-
ent do not propose to court favor or
friendship or seek enemies" said Miss
Wooster. Il am simply going to do
my duty. The law is clear and plain
and l have enough authority to back
up my position"
Under the ruling of Miss Wooster
all local school authorities will be
expected to observe the tobacco.
cosmetic regulation and refuse en-.
tployment to persons who smoke, chew
or paint.

mic clauses of the treaty-expected to
be published today-wiu point out
that while it is true Germany has de-
Veloped from an agrarian into an in
dustriaI country, her industrial prod
ucts can be exchanged for agricultural
products of other countries. Further
more, Germany was expected to be
told that the loss of several million
population thru severance of some of
her territories will reduce the number
of people she has to worry about feed
ing. AS to German seafaring folks be-
ing without employment, as result
of he allies se.Zing the German mer-
camille marine, the reply was expected
to show that German seamen are no
worse off than those of the allied
countries who have been thrown out
of employment by Germany's 'destruc-
ton of merchant ships.
I Summed up, the entire reply was
| expected to be to the effect that all
nations are facing the necessity of re-

war brought on by Germany. Hence,
Germany is not being asked to do
more than meet conditions which she
herself has brought on.

CATTAILS HAVE FOOD VALUE
investigation Has Shown Them to Con-
tain Satisfactory amount of
Needed Protein.

Flour from the cattails of the
swamps has been found by the plant
chemical laboratory at Washington to
contain about the same amount of pro-
tein as rice and corn f1ours with some
what less fat than wheat flour, and it
was regarded as a promising subsd
tute with wheat flour to the extent Of
10 to 20 per cent. In the investigation,
of which he has given an account In
the Scientific Monthly, Prof. P. W.
Claassen tried the flour in several
ways, both, as part substitute with
wheat flour in baking and as corn
starch substitute for puddings. Bis
cults containing 90 and even 100 per
cent of this flour proved to be palat-
able, not very different from those OF
wheat flour alone, while the puddings
had an agreeable flavor and. were sat
| isfactory The flour material is OBJ
| tanned from the large underground
rootstalks or rhizomes, of which it
forms a starch core three-eighths to
one-half inch in diameter. The dried
rhizomes from an acre of cattails were
shown to equal 1922 pounds and the
core substance. passed through a
meat grinder and sifted, yielded fine
flour at the rate of $500 pounds per
acre. Many thousand acres of cattaiI
marshes are included in the 1888
square miles of swamp land of the
United States.
