DR. TALKS OF FOOD.
Pres. of Board of Health.
"What shall I eat?" is the daily in
quiry the physician is met with. I do
not hesitate to say that in my judg
ment, a large percentage of disease is
caused by poorly selected and im
properly prepared food. Mv personal
experience with the ful!y-cobked food,
known as Grape-Nuts, enables me to
p-?ak freely of its merits.
"From overwork, I suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation of
the heart, and loss of sleep. Last sum
mer I was led to experiment person-
f ally with the new food, which I used
f In conjunction with goad rich cow's
f milk. In a short time after I com
' menced its use, the disagreeable sym
toma disappeared, my heart's -action
became steady and normal, the func
tions of the stomach were properly
carried out and I again slept as sound
s' j ly and as well as in my youth.
"I look upon Grape-Nuts as a per
i feet food, and no one can gainsay but
! that it has a most prominent place in
1 1 a rational, scientific system of feed
i i ing; Any one who uses this food will
i I soon be convinced of the soundness of
' i the principle upon which it is manu
factured and may thereby know the
i facts as to its true worth." Read,

TILTON'S FUNERAL
Less Than Thirty Persons Attended
the Finl Services.
Paris, May 27 The funeral services
over the body of the late Theodore Til
ton took place today in the little chapel
of the American church on the Rue
DeBerri and were very pathetic. Less
than 30 years were present, principally
members of the American colony in
cluding the Duchess De La Rochefou
cauld and her mother. Mrs. Mitchell,
wife of former Senator Mitchell of Ore
gon. Dr. Goodrich, the pastor, offi
ciated. The serv ice was very simple, consist
ing of a prayer and the reading of the
office for the dead according to the
Episcopal ritual. Only two "carriages
followed the body to Mount Parnessi
cemetery, where the Interment took
place.
The body probably will not be taken
to the Vnited States but will be re
moved to Baribison.
EARL FLYNN'S STATEMENT.
Majestic Singer Gives His Version of
Trouble.
Earl Flynn. who was arrested at the
instigation of Roy Crawford of the
Majestic theatw, charged with robbing
one of the girls of $5 and a gold watch,
denies that there is any truth in the
story. Substantiating this statement he
said: "In the first place I did not take
any money from the cashier, but on the
contrary she gave me a five dollar bill
a3 it is customary for the employes to
draw money through the week, and
should have placed a debit slip in the
money drawer in place of the money
which I suppose that she did.
"We had been good friends,- very
good friends and I had been wearing
her watch for some time, as she gave
it to me for that purpose, but some
thing came up which has been work
ing for some time and Roy Crawford
caused me all of this trouble."
Westinghonse Captures Big Contract.
New York, May 27. In the face of
the keenest competition on the part of
the foremost Italian, German and other
European concerns, another important
contract has been allotted to American
electrical interests by the Italian gov
ernment. The contract valued at about
$3,000,000, was obtained by the West
inghouse company and calls for the
conversion from steam o electricity of
the suburban state railway lines oper
ating around Genoa.
New York, May 27. A striking illus
tration of the famine in all classes of
tron material is shown by the importa
tion ot several old smokestacks which
came from Shakespeare's birthplace
Stratford-on-Avon. The shipment is the
nrst or its description that has ever ar
rived here from Europe.
The smokestacks, which weigh in all
about 2,000 tons, are to be remelted in
eastern furnaces. They are subject to
an import duty of $4 a ton as cast scrap
while the freight charges are $1.50 a
ton. Nevertheless the material, it is
said, has been sold to the furnace people
at a fair profit.
Went Aground In a Fog.
Harbor Beach. Mich., May 27. The
wooden steamer B. F. Bielman and the
barge McLeachland, bound from Escan
naba to Lake Erie, loaded with ore,
went hard aground in a dense fog at
Port Austin early today. It is under
stood here that the crews were taken
off by the Port Austen life savers.
There is a heavy sea running and a bad
northwest wind which, unless it mod
erates soon, will work havoc with the
vessels.
A special train furnished by the San
ta Fe railroad and carrying membeis
of the faculty of the Kansas State Agri
cultural college will start on- a trip
through eastern Kansas June 10." The
train will be known as the "Alfalfa
Special".". The officers of- .'. the college
maintain : that, although only little of
this product "is raised in the territory
to be visited.'its extensive culture would
be beneficial to -the land as well as
bringing a "substantial increase to the
wealth of that part of the state. More
alfalfa, it is stated, will mean more live
stock, and the result will be a "more
fertile soil. ....
The special will pass through twenty
countifs having a total alfalfa acreage
of only 48.185. The members of the
party will hold seventy-one meetings, at
the depots along the line and at town
halls where all-night stops are made.
Lectures relative to the sowing and
raising of alfalfa. - will constitute the
programmes. The itinerary of the trip

KIMOXA AYRAPPER.
v V5F1 J'i h Air- -rip :
The idea of inserting a little sheer material in some delicate color into
an all-white gown is among the season's novelties, the model illustrated
showing an excellent design for one of these, lingerie frocks. Inch-wide Val
enciennes insertion was used, with edging to match, the yoke being of thin
allover Valenciennes. The inset bands on the bodice, sleeves, and skirt were
of very sheer mull, in a delicate, pale pink color. The bodice and skirt were
Joined tcgether in princesse effect by lows of the Val. insertion.
AN OLD EYE SORE GONE.
A most graceful design is the one illustrated, and it will be welcomed to
milady's- wardrobe. It has a yoke front and back and is naade on a fitted
lining. The skirt and blouse is made in one piece, fitted at the waist. The
right front laps over the left, finished with a wide Persian border, which is
flatly sewed to the material. The sleeves are full and flowing, being gath
ered at the. top and trimmed with the bordr-r. - The skirt also has the border
al the bottom. Ribbon at the waist makes a dainty finish.
Filtby Sink Hole on West Sixth Avenue
a Thine of the Past.
Mr. O. L. Hill, road overseer of Tq
peka township, has just completed a
piece of work that improves West Sixth
avenue far out of proportion to the
cost. This is the filling up of the old
odoriferous mud hole just west of
Ward's creek near the asylum grounds.
This hole has been an unsightly place
as well as a menace to health, and it
has been filled up and the road im
proved at a very small cost by Mr.
Hill. To obtain the filling he cut down
Washburn hill, thus killing two birds
with one stone. Mr. Hill also hauled 400
loads of cinders from the asylum, which
he dumped into the hole.

HOCH LAYS DOWN LAW.
People Can Xot Be Frisky on Decora
tion Day.
Deputy Fish Warden Active.
Deputy States Fish Warden Curtis
was here yesterday. He came down
the river In a boat. This is the way
in which he travels about the state.
. Governor Hoch has issued his Me
morial day proclamation, which is dif
ferent from the ordinary Memorial day
proclamation in that it sets forth in
full the law recently passed prohibit
ing the playing of games or the hold
ing of entertainments on Memorial day.
The law not only prohibits pay shows,
but even knocks oil the "corner lot"
ball game on Memorial day.
The following is the proclamation:
"No more beautiful and appropriate
custom is observed among men than
the annual tribute of flowers and tears
a great and grateful people pay to the
memory of the heroes of the civil war
on the 30th of every recurring May. To
promote the proper observance of this
day and to prevent its desecration the
last legislature passed the following
law to which I desire to give wider
publicity and which I hope it will be the
pleasure of all our people to observe
and which it is the duty of local auth
orities throughout the state to enforce.
" 'Section 1. It shall be unlawful to
hold, give or carry on any carnival,
circus, circus parade, ball game, horse
racing or any other sporting entertain
ment in public on the 30th day of Mav.
commonly known as Memorial day.
" 'Sec. 2. No city in the state of Kan
sas shall authorize, license, or permit
any of the entertainments mentioned in
section 1 of this act.
" 'Sec. 3. Any person violating the
terms of this act shall, qpdn conviction
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
fined in not leso than five hundred dol
lars ($500) nor more than five thousand
dollars (?3,000) for each offense." "
