in FLOWER SHOW
First Display in Topeka To Be
Held Thursday.
Many Exhibits From Growers
in City.

Did you know that the huge NUNS,
inches. across, which have become a
feature of the toilettes of more than
half the women in past few weeks, are
citified cousins of the Iowly daisy
They are. the showiest of them can
trace their ancestry back to the daisy
family, and it isn't such a very long
line either.
Beginning Thursday morning there
is to be a chrysanthemum show staged
in Topeka, which will be, SO far as is
known, the first flower show ever held
in the city, and will be devoted entirely
to chrysanthemums.
There are cooperating in the show
several Topeka people and organiza-
.tions interested in flowers, and there
will be exhibits from the Oakland
Forestry club, the Boys Industrial
school, the Woman's Farm and Gar
den association, Rollin Kreig, whole
sale florist, and the Rosery. The show
will be staged in the show rooms of
the Rosery at 118 East Seventh street,
beginning Thursday morning.
1t is the Japanese who have done
the most toward developing the daisy,
with its single set of petals, to the
huge mass of beauty which is known
as a double" fchrysanthemum. The
structure of the bloom when closely

Cosmetics Not Needed
Peel the Skin Instead

One reason mercolized wax is so strongly
recommended is that it really takes the
place of several different cosmetics saving
time, patience and expenses. 1t is better
than any cleaning cream, better than any
massage cream, and letter than any rouge,
for accomplishing the results for which
such articles are used. AS the wax actual

MAY THROW BALLOTS OUT.
$50 From Absent Voters From shaw
nee County May BE Void.

The shortcomings of judges and
clerks of elections in various parts of
this and other states may result in the
throwing out of $50 votes mailed to
Shawnee county by Shawnee county
voters absent from their home pre-
cincts on the election day.
The election law provides that when
a voter votes in precinct not his own.
his ballot is to be sealed in an en-
velope and a certificate giving his
name, township or ward, precinct, city
and county, shall be placed on the
back of the envelope. which is then
mailed to his home county for count
ing. The certificate must be signed by
a judge of the election in the precinct
where the vote is cast.
The greater number of the $50 bal
lots which have been received in
Shawnee county have either not had
the certificate at all, or the certifica tie
has not had the signature of the
judges. 1t is believed that the same
condition exists in other counties of
the state. There can be no decisive
effect on the election in Shawnee
county as the result of the throwing
out of the ballots, but in other coun-
ties, notably in the Eighth district a
congressional election may hang on the
result
