SHAW MAY GET In RACE
Water Superintendent Considers Run
ming for City Commissioner.

ming for City Commissioner.
Altho refusing to assert that ne
would be a candidate for the office of
light and water comm issioner, Super
intendent Jesse Shaw this morning adj
mitted that due to the urging IF a
number of his friends, he had become
decidedly interested in the political
race for this position.
1T has only been for a short time
that 1 have considered getting into
the race at all,' said Shaw, land I
have not investigated the political
side of things sufficiently yet to make
any definite announcement. One
doesn't decide in just a minute to get
into a race of that kind
When reminded that prospective
candidates had only until March Is to
declare their intentions, Shaw stated
that he would be ready to say whether
or not he would ruin before that time.
Shaw said that during the agitation
recently TO put a soldier ticket before
the voters, he refrained from making
any effort towards becoming a candi-
date, believing that if the returned
soldiers cared to participate in the po-
litical conflict, they should be permit
ted to do SO without opposition. Later
developments indicating that there
would be no concerted move to place
an all-soldier ticket in the field, actu-
ated Shaw in taking an interest in his
own possible candidacy

KILL "HOWDY" BILL
Senate Votes Down Appropriation for
Soldier Greeting Committee.

Soldier Greeting Committee.
Despite the fact that Senator Met
calf asserted he thought the Kansas
senate should give Governor Allen
what he asked of it. the upper house
of the legislature this afternoon by
a vote of 10 to 16 defeated the ways
and means committee bill that was in
troduced at the request of Governor
Allen and that provided an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to send a legiSla tive
junket committee to meet the Kansas
soldiers returning from France
Metcalf stated that he voted for the
bill solely because the governor asked
it.
The senate had more fun over the
bill than it has had since the session
opened.
Senator Sparks arose to point of
order and requested that the chair
compel senators to stand in front of
their desks when talking and voting,
stating that every time Seantor Will
son opened his mouth he slobbered
and often spit in his face"
Senator Getty Immediately pro-
duced an umbrella and President Pro
Tenn Price instructed the sergeant-at-
arms to provide the Cherokee senator
with whatever protection he needed.
Before the bill was killed Senator
Hickey succeeded in getting in an
amendment providing that a poet and
lecturer be appointed a member of the
committee.
Senator Coleman had the bill
amended so that the committee would
not make the mistake of going to a
Kansas port to meet the returning SOL
diers.

ROB TWO STORES
Burglars Enter Rigby Candy and
Arnold Drug Houses Last Night.

Two robberies were reported to the
police this morning. Burglars entered
the new Rigby candy store on Kansas
avenue about 11:20 O'Clock, obtaining
an entrance by raising one of the
large windows in the rear of the
building, and took IS from the cash
register. About the same time the
Arnold drug store, SIS Kansas ave-
nue., was robbed and between $12 and
S13 taken from the cash drawer. The
burglars gained an. entrance to the
drug store by climbing a stairway
leading up from the alley outside, and
crawling thru a transom after smash
ing the glass. This placed them on
balcony in the rear of the building,
from whence they made their way in
side.
There is evidence. according to the
police, that they attempted to leave
the store by way of the basement, but
found 1t too difficult to open the doors.
Police expressed the opinion that both
robberies were perpetrated by the
same parties. No arrests have been
made. =

when Planning q Meal.

Do not have too much heavy food at
one meal. A heavy meal should not be
followed by heavy dessert, but rather
BY light one, and vice versa.
Do not repeat the same flavor In the
same meal. Example: If you have to-
mato soup, do not have tomatoes served
In any other way for that meal.
Courses, or at least dishes served at
the same meal, should contrast with one
another; q bland one, then more highly
favored one; hot one, then cold one;
q liquid one, then solid one. For ex-
ample: A hot main course should be
followed by fresh, crisp salad or cold
dessert; highly favored soup or bouil-
lon might be followed by Dreamed dish
of some kind, or bland meat, suoh as
veal with peas.
Many times sharp contrasts in texture
are very desirable-ice cream and cake,
tea and waters, cheese and crackers,
cranberry or acid fruit with fowl, apples
with pork, apples with beef, peas or
mint with lamb, gooseberries with fowl.
Do not repeat too often the same food
prepared in the same way. For instance,
do not have mashed potatoes every day.
Prepare them in some other way the
second day, and 80 on. The same food
materials may be used more frequently
IL they are prepared In various ways.

Old Ribbons Made Like New.

Ribbons cost two or three times what
they formerly did, and the life of Alice's
hair ribbon seems very short these days
to her thrifty mother. No matter how
fresh and dainty the dress of little girl,
il Il is topped with soiled and wrinkleG
hair ribbon her whole appearance is
spoiled. In one of series of thrift leaf
let's issued jointly by the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
United States Treasury, directions which
will leave the fabric looking like new
are given for cleaning ribbons.
Spread the ribbon fiat on q smooth,
hard surface, such as table top or q
marble slab. With a sponge or soft
brush 60 over 1t with lukewarm water
in which little mild soap has been dis
solved. With hair ribbons, if the por-
tioD which comes in contact with the
hair is greasy and the stains difficult to
remove, dip brush in q little ammonia
water and rub that portion of the rib
bon. Rinse the ribbon by holding 1t
stretched between the hands and passing
it through q bowl of clear, lukewarm
water.
Do not wiring or crease, but dry by
spreading 1t out straight and fiat on q
smooth, hard surface. Particular care
should be taken with the edges of the
ribbon in order to make them as straight
az when new. Draw the hand gently
over the ribbon to press out air bubbles
which may have formed under it, and
which will make 1t appear "blistered"
when dry.

Cheese Not Hard to Digest.

Cheese is commonly regarded as an
appetizer and q seasoning for other
foods, but it is slso very satisfactory
substitute for meat. 1t is rich in pro-
teiD and energy, aud, contrary 10 a pre-
vailing impression, it is easily digested.
Extensive digestion experiments carried
On by the Department OF Agriculture
have demonstrated that more than 95
per cent of the protein of cheese is
digestible and 80 per cent of it's energy
is available. As compared with meat II
has the advantage of being able to keep
long in Il orage and Contains much food
in small volume. A pound of cheese
supplies more than twice as much energy
az q ponnd of fowl or round steak, and
almost twice as much protein as the
same amount of fowl or ham. Cheese,
therefore, is usually cheaper food than
the meats.
