MOTHERS TO FIGHT CIGARET

The most serious menace in its his
tory is yet to face the cigaret. That
will be when the mothers of the city
array themselves against the cigaret
enemy that has found friends in their
sons, and even in their daughters.
In the same manner that a Red
campaign or many of the other
drives the city has experienced were
conducted, a house to house canvass
of Topeka will be made to interest
mothers in the fight against the
cigaret. Mothers of the city will be
asked to join the anti-league in a
campaign to be directed by Mrs. J. r.
Sargent, 1925 Jewell avenue early in
January. -
1--WE need the same kind of war
against the cigaret that we had against
slavery, against liquor traffic, and for
woman suffrage" declared DR.. d. M.
Fisk, in speaking before the meeting
of anti-cigaret workers with the Min
isterial Alliance at the Central Y NJ.
C. A. this morning. Plans of various
kinds for Strengthening the anti
cigaret fight were made.
To enlist every church in the state
in the crusade, is the plan of the local
ministerial alliance. Miss Lucy Page
CASTOR spoke before the alliance to-
day. The letter of Miss CASTOR to
President elect Harding urging his
support of the anti-cigaret movement,
is causing much comment in the city
and state and probably will attract
national interest.

Every Home Should Have
A Garden This Year
BY Secretary Meredith

All discussion about the high cost
of living aside. one way to have food
at a reasonable cost is to GROW IT
IN YOUR OWN YARD.
The gard:n can't do it all. But il
can help wonderfully, especially
with such important necessaries as
potatoes and beans.
1t is true that the war taught
america the value of home garden
ing. While complete statistics oil
the production in gardens are lack
ing, it is the belief of the Depart
lnent of Agriculture and State work
ers in this field, based on wide ob-
servation that MORE FOOD WAS
PRODUCED IN HOME GARDENS
LAST YEAR THAN DURING THE
WAR YEAR OF 1918.
The Department of Agricultur:
believes hat many hundred OF
thousands of people will share rs
view about the Importance OF grow
ing food at home in 1920. and thai
they VIII welcome expert advice
from tine to time.
The Department is prepared 10
give the Iublic the benefit OF its in
formation gathered by practical
scientific gardeners. and requests
will bring publications that should
be Of value to the experienced man
as we'll as to the beginner.

Lasting Design is the Natural Complement
to the Durability of the Super-Six Motor

Speed and power have their place. But they
are secondary Hudson has no cause to under
rate them. For it holds the stock car speed
and power records. And the Super-Sx motor
has beaten the worlds fastest racing cars, not
once but many times.

However mechanically good, a vast satsfac-
tion is lost to the owner, if design changes in
succeeding models mark his car out of date.
Thus style permanency must be a ma jor factor
in car that serves for years.
Its value is exampled by the earliest Super
Skies, built nearly five years ago. In all essen
tials they are modern cars today They are
modern in appearance. They have lost none
OF their operating smoothness, flexibility or
power Their performance is characteristic of
all Hudsons. Few would in their looks or
performance anything but car of recent pro-
duction.
