PRESIDENT OF kO.FAN
COMPANY VISITS PUEBLO

H r Baughmn. president of the
ko-Fan company who is in Pueblo in
the interest of the company selecting
bill board locations and to sign a con-
tract with bottlng company to bot
tic the new drink. expressed great sur
prise at the progress made by the city
of Pueblo in cleaning up the city 60
rapidly after the flood.
Mr.. Baughman eaid: 1T is almost
unbelievable that your city has dug
itself out of the debris and mud SO
rapidly.
lit was terrible disaster to befall
any city and the spirit in which the
people of Pueblo have accepted such
a grave misfortune can hardly be
praised enough Tho civic authorities
and merchants certainly deserve com
mondation, 10 say the least. Everyone
seems to be possessed of a determine
ton to build MP a better and buster
city than before. but that is the spirit
that makes a real business city such
as YOU have here in Pueblo.
What does ko-Fan taste like?" Mr..
Baughman eaid to an inquiry. "ko-
Fan doesn't taste like anything YOU
have ever tasted before. 1t has a new
Oriental flavor distinctly different and
is not to be confused with the ordinary
soda drinks. because Ko-Fan In really
a brain food.
When you feel tired and your brain
is Inactive Ko-Fan braces you up and
enlivens your brain cells. In other
words IT is n bracing drink for the
tired and thirsty.
NO. the ingredients in Ko-Fan are
not new. They have been used for
hundreds OF years but in ko-Fan there
Is Just new scientific blend.
The principal ingredients NJ Ko-
Fn come from the orient while one
comes from the South Sea Islands and
others from various parts of tho globe.
We have at last succeeded in giving
the hard working and hard playing
American people the kind of drink
they have always wanted. One which
satisfies both thirst and taste and
braces them m at the Same time.
Another thing. you don't have 10

Fan are friends from the first. sip OF

IS NEGRO RACE DYING OUT?
Report for Kansas Issued by DIR. c. L
LerTigO.

1eTTlgO.
Is the negro race dying out in Kan
sas? This is the question asked by
DR.. Charles E. Lerrigo, chief of the di-
vision of vital statistics of the state
board of health.
Figures just received by Doctor Ler-
rigo for the whole registration area
in the United States show 52.S chill
dren born to each 1000 negro moth
ers yearly, while in Kansas the rate
is only 35.6 to each 1000. This com
pares with 46.4 children to each 1000
white mothers in Kansas.
In 1919 there were 9S1 colored
births and l ,O71 colored deaths in this
state. In 1920 there were 1898 COL
ored births and Liz colored deaths.
At this rate, Doctor Lerrigo points out,
the negro race is not only failing to
make the normal increase but is ac-
tually diminishing at preceptible
pace.
The Kansas negro is the best type
in the United States, being neither the
illiterate of the thickly populated
south, nor the northern and eastern
type that is so completely subjected
by the white. 1t is unfortunate if the
Kansas type of negro is diminishing
while those in other sections are in
creasing in numbers

House-cleaning time house-cleaning timei
The housewives busly chasing the CRIME:
The pictures all taken down from the walls,
The chairs and the tables in the halls.
And upstairs downstairs wherever you fare.
The odor OF suds and ammonia is there,
Commingled with perfume OF chloride OF lime;
House-cleaning tmei House-ceaning timel
Mother wearing a calico gown,
A towel for headdress-and also frown;
And Willie Is lingering in the street
Appalled, the prospects OF rugs he must beat,
And hoping his mother won't ask him to scrub
While father. dear father. stays down at his club
For only a person with patience sublime
stick around home when itss house-cleaning tme
on, dustpans and buckets and brushes galore;
And mops, scrubbing clutter the floor.
You eat from the mantel of OF a shelf
And all that you get you must rustic yourself
The clotheslines saggng with blankets and such
And mattresses nll the whole yard pretty much.
The furniture's piled in a sort Of a heap;
There's place sit and there's place to sleep.
And wise people flee far, foreign cline.
And stay there till after it's house-cleaning time!
