FOR CLEAN HANDS.
New Topeka Made Product VIII
Appear Next Week.
Chamber of Commerce Is Be.
hind Latest Industry Here.

Next week will be "Clean Hands
week in Topeka and incidentally a new
Topeka made product will appear or
the market. 'Mec-So," a. new SOAP
made especially for mechanics, bnt
suitable to ordinary household uses,
has appeared on the market and the
Chamber of Commerce will get behind
the new industry to make it one that
will be of advantage to Topeka.
The soap is manufactured by z. G.
Counter in his plant at Eli West Tenth
avenue. He has spent two years in
perfecting the formula and method of
manufacture of the new soap and 1t is
declared to be of exceptional quality
and efficiency.
In All Retail Stores.
Consignments of the soap are being
placed in the retail stores thruout the
city to start the campaign, followed by
a gradual redistribution in all parts of
the country. The industrial committee
of the Chamber of Commerce has in
terested itself in boosting the new
manufacturing industry foreseeing in
its development valuable asset to
Topeka
Mr. Counter is planning a large ad-
vertising and selling campaign of
"Mec-So," to commence Immediately.
He has worked on the product for the
last two years and since July 81, 1920,
has spent his entire time in its de-
Arkansas City, where he was employed
by the Santa Fe, but later moved to
Topeka, which is Mr.. Counters home.
He attributes the success of his
product largely to the sawdust used in
the manufacturing formula. in that
sawdust absorbs grease quicker than
the skin. The soap is also medicated
with ingredients that keep the hands
from cracking or chapping.
When Mr.. Counter started the manu-
facture of "Mec-So'' he collected a
number of cigar cans from different
cigar stores in Arkansas City. He then
gave a number of samples to his
friends who were doing mocha meal
work and they, after, several trials.
proclaimed it a marked success. It
was then tested in regard to use In the
bath room and found to filter thru the
sink in the same manner as any other
toilet soap.
"Mec-So" is being placed on the
market in six-ounce and one-pound
cans and in underground and twenty
five pound pals.
Big Initial Sale.
The initial sale of "Mec-So" has
been quite gratifying. Nearly a hum
dred local dealers now carry it in
stock as well as a number of stores in
surrounding towns such as Rossyille,
Silver Lake, Auburn and Dover. Four
Topeka jobbers are adding distribution
thru their salesmen.

STATES MANSION
Home for the Governor a Real
Problem.
Extensive Repairs or a Sale APP
pear Necessary.

| The proposal of the legislature to
spend $4,000 in repairing the state S
| executive residepce at Eighth and
Buchanan streets is a futile one in
view of the situation. It will appar-
! emily require much more than double
that amount to put the property in
suitable condition. Two years ago the
state architects office estimated that
$4,000 would be needed to alone re-
establish the plumbing and heating
systems and repair the porches. The
house is an old one and far from mod
ern. The furniture Is old, the rugs
moth eaten ana the carpets worn out.
For four years the house was practf-
lNcally vacant and great deterioration
ensued.
The state has problem sure
enough. but to spend $40. 900 would be
but a drop in the bucket and would
not approach putting the property in
suitable shape for the use of the state
by the governor.
Even with $4,000 expended the
state would still have an old property.
1t is a sure enough problem, but I'M
less a liberal appropriation is made it
would doubtless be better to let mat
tiers drift along as they are at present.
The state now pays 1900 rental for
the use by the governor of the Cappet
home, including the furniture and fur
nishings. Fifteen hundred dollars adj
ditional is allowed for a cook and
chauffeur or yard man. 1t is under
stood Senator Capper expended $500
last year. entirely out of his own
pocket, for redecorating and repairs to
his home now. used by Governor AL
len. Fifteen hundred dollars is al
lowed for the maintenance of the ex-
ecutive residence at Eighth and Blu
chanan streets. 1t was considered of
greater advantage to the state to have
the property occupied rather than let
it be vacant. If this property could
be sold at a reasonable figure, it would
probably be better for the state to sell
it and build or acquire a modern and
more suitable residence for the use of
a governor. One thing is evident:
rather than undertake to spend so
small a sum as $4,000 on repairs and
necessary improvements and expenses,
it would be better to do nothing now
and await a time when the state is
ready to provide a suitable home for a
governor while he is in office.
Let the legislature appoint a suitable
committee to go over thoroly the state
residence, see its condition. and re-
quirements and obtain careful esti-
mates from capable authorities. 1t is
evident that would settle the futility
OF any $4,000 appropriation.
