GROCERS' OFFICE HERE
Attempt Being Made to Establish State
Headquarters in Topeka.

An attempt is being made to estab-
fish the state headquarters of the
Kansas Retail Grocers' association in
Topeka, it was learned today.
c. J. Smith, president, and w. F.
Capelss secretary of the organization,
were in the city today conversing with
local merchants relative to the
chances of arousing interest in the as
ISOLATION, which has been practically
dead for more than year.
The state association has never
progressed much beyond the embryo
stage, it is claimed. 1t was organized
in Salina during the war, when several
grocers got together to talk over the
government food regulations. It was
suggested that the grocers of the state
form an organization for their mutual
benefit, and such an attempt was
made, but the association is still in
skeleton form.
The headquarters have remained in
Kansas City, where the secretary lives.
It is now planned to bring the state
headquarters here and make an at
tempt to create a working organiza-
ton, II was said today.

ADULTS ARE NOT IMMUNE.
A Number of Cases of Measles Re
ported Among Older Folks.

That adults should not feel immune
from the measles was advised today by
DIR. Earle G. Brown, city health officer.
A number of cases of measles among
adults has been reported to the city
health department. In families where
children have measles, adults are adj
vised to stay apart from the sick chill
dren, even tho the adult may have
had the measles in childhood. The
disease is more serious if contracted
by adults, Doctor Brown said.
Two adults in Topeka are i'll with
scarlet fever and similar precautions
should be observed with that disease.
The measles total is decreasing, but
the decrease does not mean that the
endemic is over, Doctor Brown said.
