Leavenworth, Sedgwick and Crawford Counties Xegrlect to Report Many Counties Without a Trial. Bootlegging is not yet an entirely lost art in Kansas, though the persistent violators are becoming few, according to reports to the office of Governor Capper from sixty-eight of the 105 county attorneys.

Some time ago reports from these were asked for, showing the number of liquor-selling convictions in 1914 and 1915. These reports indicate that the confirmed jointist quite generally is in the penitentiary or has quit business. But the bootlegger, who can send to Kansas City or St. Joseph and get a few-bottles to peddle in the dark alleys, still is a problem for the county" attorneys. In the counties reporting there were only ten convictions of persistent violators.

The persistent violator can be and is sent to the penitentiary for a year or more. Three convictions of these were obtained in the last year in Douglas county, two in Hamilton county, one In Labette, two in Saline and two in Shawnee county. LAY BLAME OX BOOTLEGGER. In 1915 there have been 561 successful prosecutions of bootleggers in these sixty-eight counties, compared to 437 convictions for bootlegging in 1914 in the same counties. Barton county convicted the largest number, forty-seven, and the county attorney admitted in his report that conditions were very bad out there during the wheat harvest.

Two-thirds of the bootlegging is done by transients In all the counties, the county attorneys assert. There were no reports returned by Sedgwick, Leavenworth or Crawford counties. Cherokee reported thirty-eight convictions in 1915 and eighty-one In 1914. Shawnee reported thirty-nine in 1915 and twenty-nine In 1914. Wyandotte reported only seven in 1915 and only four in 1914, but the attorney general's office has taken charge of the situation there now.

NEVER A LIQUOR CASE. Grant county never has had a liquor prosecution since its organization. Stevens county has had just one, that being in 1913. Twenty counties reported no convictions In one or the other of the last two- years, though some of these had prosecutions until the witnesses disappeared and likewise the evidence. The following counties reported no convictions either in 1914 or 1915: Elk.

Grant, Greeley. Hodgeman, Jewell, Kearny, Morton, Osborne, Sheridan, Sherman, Stevens. Wallace and Wichita. Anderson, Gray, Greenwood, Linn and Marion reported none in 1914. Kiowa and Lane reported none In 1915.

Everything is cooked in such a perfect manner and served so daintily, and the prices are so reasonable, at this place-of-good-eats that we just naturally follow the lead of our appetite and go to the Tea Room for lunch, afternoon tea or dinner, as the case may be.

One w. k.

The "Gift List Suggestion," received yetserday by the Christmas Editor of this paper, headed by "For wife, a washing machine" was evidently compiled by a Mere Man! If Santa Claus casually dropped a Leopard or Tiger Cap and Set into your stocking wouldn't you be mightily tickled? About the prettiest ones I've seen are at Mrs. Maude C. Brickley's (at the Warren M. Crosby store, you know). Lots of people have tasted cocoa and found It lacking in the elements they desire for a beverage to be used every day at any meal.

Reasonable care should be exercised in the making and perhaps the cocoa you tasted was not properly prepared. Here is about the best recipe I know of and for the best, results be sure that only pure cocoa is used. The best cocoa, you know, comes In finely, powdered form and contains 24 per cent cocoa butter. For every 2 cups of cocoa use: 2 cup-fuls milk, 2 teaspoonfuls of pure cocoa, 3 teaspoonfuls of sugar and 2 taDlespoonfuls of boiling water. Dissolve the cocoa in boiling water and when smooth add hot milk, let it boil up once.

Stir well and pour into a hot pot. Serve with whipped cream, or serve in small cups and place a spoonful of whipped cream on top. The news story telling about the entire State of Kansas being in the grip of an epidemic of colds, and the misery of la grippe, is Just another way of saying that people have not telephoned to Dr. Elizabeth Todd (1244, is the number) in order to find out the best method of combating the early attacks of what are commonly termed "just colds." ADVICE TO HUSBANDS. Just leave the original price ticket on whatever you give Wlfey for Christmas and it will save her a lot of time and trouble huntin around the stores to find out how much you paid for It.

You've probably, got some pretty dress, or dainty, dress, that you have ceased to wear because "it's soiled and mussed." Yes, you would have it cleaned but for the fact that you didn't know where to send it. Well, let me tell you a little secret of my very own, it doesn't make the slightest difference how delicate the garment is. the Topeka Laundry can clean it in the bestest way! So just phone 3653 tomorrow morning and you'll have It back "looking like the day it came from the store," in time to wear for the Holidays. The Wichita Beacon claims it's a toss-up as to which man realizes his mistake first. the man who has remained a bachelor all his life, or the man who has married.

Give it to brother and he's satisfied. Give it to sister and she's mighty well pleased. Give It to father and he will say "Just what I wanted!" Give It to mother and she'll sigh "I only wish I had had one years ago!" Give It to the youngster and he will holler, "Geel You must o' read my mind!"

George Elliiott said "It is easy to eay how we love new friends and what we think of them, but words can never trace out all the fibres that knit us to the old." One of the things a child loves best is pretty shoes. And is there anything prettier than the white topped shoes, or the red topped and brown topped shoes, with black buttons and dainty gold braid, that we find at the Payne Shoe Store.

These very nifty little shoes are priced at one dollar and a-quarter, and up, at this good store, and no extra charge for the real SERVICE they "throw in." P. S. Payne's will give a dandy little box of candy with every pair of children's shoes they sell this week.

TARIFF TO BE THE-LEAOIHS ISSUE Borah, Cummins, Taft, Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Weeks and Johnson Among the Other Candidates Favored.

New York, Dec. 18. The Literary Digest today published the result of. a poll of the Republican newspapers of the country on the nomination for the presidency. Senator Elihu Hoot, of New York, leads with 249 favorable opinions.

Justice Hughe3 is second with 152. Senator Sherman, of Illinois, is third with 144 votes. Other suggested candidates are Senator "William E. Borah, of Idaho, with 10S votes; Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, with T7; ex-President Taft, with 61; ex-President Roosevelt, with 47; ex-Vice President Fairbanks, with 58, mostly from his state of Indiana; Senator John W.

Weeks, with 53; Governor Johnson, of California, with 16. PROTECTION THE ISSUE. The Digest gives considerable space to the situation In each state. It says of Kansas: "In Kansas also protection is to be the rallying-cry, according to no less an authority than Gov. Arthur Capper, of that state, who is the publisher of the Topeka Capital.

What is more, he joins with the tariff the issue of national prohibition, picks Justice Hughes as his first choice for the nomination. Senators Cummins and Borah and ex-S'enator Burton as his second choices, and adds: 'The rank and file of the Progressive party are returning to the Republican party. In my judgment there will be no Progressive party in 1916." That the Progressives will return to the Republican fold is also the observation of the Topeka State Journal and of others, although the Iola Register notes that they have all come back, with the exception of Victor Murdock, Henry Allen, and Bill White and the two last are "showing In this connection the Wichita Eagle, whose editor is Victor Murdock, places as candidates Colonel Roosevelt first and Governor Johnson second on an independent Progressive ticket for preparedness. Wre hear elsewhere that while the Progressive party is dead. Progressive sentiment Is as strong as ever and that it Is something of a guess whether the Progressives will all vote the Republican ticket.

The Salina Journal confesses that it does not know what they will do; the Galena Republican and others- tell us they will not run an independent ticket providing the Republicans afford them a candidate and a platform that are progressive. FOR A HOME CANDIDATE. This journal, which picks Governor Capper as a candidate, would couple with the tariff as issues, prohibition, woman suffrage, 'keeping out of the war, and no large Then we meet with the additional Issues of preparedness, business methods In our government, which, means Democratic ineptitude and the Mexican and foreign policies of the administration. "Turning to the question of candidates, the Clay Center Times, among various Journals, picks Justice Hughes first and Senator Cummins second, yet It does not believe that the former governor of New York will run, and fears that Senator Cummins 'lacks the punch to So it decides that the man who can come nearest to defeating President Wilson is ex-Senator Burton, who is strong In himself and a nominee Progressives can support. From the Lawrence Journal we learn that the Republicans of Kansas are awaiting developments.

Senator Borah is strong there, with the Inherent weakness of coming from the far west; while we read that Senator Cummins would not show strength because of his failure to support the prohibition law in Iowa. Elihu Root is popular, hut is thought too old. and Senator Weeks is gaining strength. In a word, adds this Journal, Kansas can unite on any good man who Is the nation's choice. The Topeka State Journal would nominate Elihu Root if Taft should not be a candidate, and the former senator from New York is also first choice of other Kansas editors." TARIFF FIRST FX PLATFORM.

The tariff is hailed as the dominant feature of the Republican platform by 41 Republican editors out of 6S5 in response to the country-wide inquiry of the Literary Digest. Added to the tariff which many editors urge should be taken out of politics and regulated by a non-partisan commission are other issues, including preparedness, credited with 105 mentions. Prohibition and woman suffrage are not infrequently proposed; and among the rest we encounter the following: Mexico; our foreign policy; real neutrality; progressivism: a merchant marine; peace: the square deal to big business-prosperity, which is the Republican synonym for protection; the Democratic war tax; the Philippine policv; America first; the war in Europe; the Panama canal tolls: the Progressive platform of 1912; and the failure of the administration. COTTON SUPPLY SHORT IN GERMANY luduKtry Has Been Unlet for Three Months Many Mills Closing Fse Only for Military Pnrpones. Frankfort.

Germany, Dec. 16 The Frankfort Zeitung publishes, the following report of conditions in the German cotton industry, dated from Munchen-Gladbach, November 11: "During the past three months business in the German cotton industry has been extremely quiet. Meanwhile the use of cotton and cotton waste has been regulated in such a way that theso raw materials can hardly used at all except for army purposes. Consequently, the existing stocks of yarn having been used up. and the transition, period having expired, the free activity of most of the mills is checked, and the closing of a number of spinning and weaving mills is to be expected; in some cases, indeed, it has already taken place.

During the past months cotton has been uncora- -O to the building on the grounds was erected by the late Mr. Jonathan Thomas and Mrs. Thomas. A recent debt of $3,000 has been entirely paid off by the efforts of the board members. A number of bequests have been left to the home, including Mrs.

Morgan, Mrs. William T. Crosby. The women at the home like visitors. And there are daily callers to the home.

Each woman has a pleasant room of her own in which she delights in entertaining old friends. A large portion of the guests are out-of-town visitors, for few of the women of the home lived in Topeka in their earlier days. "Oh, yes, we have lots of fun. said the "Flower of the Home" in a little conversation. The happy woman who has been totally deaf for many years is a talented cheer-giver.

Her influence over the home is an exponent for purity, goodness and happiness. Then she told of her life in the institution. "Because Tarn deaf the maid comes to my room every morn. If I am sleeping she hesitates to awaken me, but turns on the light. When I do open my eyes I know it is time to get up.

All the other women can hear the rising bell." The good deaf lady, who in real life much resembles "Whistler's Mother," is fond of her companions at the home. "Come over here and see my peek hole," she said. An aperture in the doorway enabled her to call, "Good night, Rowena." "Rowena," whose ears were not afflicted but who finds it a little hard to get around, likes the attention. "That's what my husband used to say," answered the little woman, and the tears came to her eyes. Further investigations through the house revealed a fruit closet.

Miss Kennedy, the matron, then showed the visitors the quantities of fruits (700 cans in the beginning of the winter, but somewhat diminished now). "It is put up in our own kitchen," said Miss Kennedy. "The old ladies are fond of jellies and Jams like they used to make in their own homes." There is apt to be considerable ailment among so many elderly folks. The city magistrate, in Springfield, who discharged a young man arrested for kissing a girl, said "It's no crime to kiss a pretty girl!" Quite right, Judge, quite right. In fact, sometimes it's really criminal not to! These crispy brisk days certainly do make a person long for a nice warm fur coat and I've noticed that no matter what sort you prefer it's bound to be found in that big fur department in the Mills Stores Company.

The three-quarter length, in Hudson Seal, with one or two bands of genuine martin fur around the bottom are decidedly good style, in fact the. mode is much like what will be shown in coats the coming spring. Poney coats, trimmed with opossum fur are another thing especially favored. Then, of course, you'll find less expensive models, too. Mr.

Timid writes to inquire whether its usually customary for a man to "squeeze her together again," when a girl "bursts" into tears. And that brings to mind the fur sets I saw at the Mills Stores Company. You know nearly everyone likes mm it fur and they are showing sets and nieces of mink galore!

The hospital room in regulation style is finished in white enamel. It is immaculate. "We try to have the oldest ladies on the first floor," said Miss Kennedy, "and make it. as easy as possible for them to get around. They like to promenade down the broad halls." The "old ladies" take their daily walk and unless the weather is un- favorable they get out a little each day, if able.

"But what do they do all day long?" was asked. "How do they pass the time of day?" "We have little trouble in keeping them amused," said Miss Kennedy. Because she had never been idle one active old lady said she found pleasure in drying glassware and silver. "That's what I used to do," said the participant in the dish submerging. The women are progressive and keep up to the times.

They read the daily papers. Those not able to read are read to by others. Their favorite topic for discussion is "woman suffrage." The Bible is read, but very few religious discussions are entered into. Many of the women are able to attend church and go to their own churches to worship. Kindnesses extended to the women are appreciated.

They like to be entertained. It has been the custom for several years for delegations from the Central Congregational, Baptist and Methodist congregations to hold services- or exercises occasionally at the home. Several pleasant evenings have been given the women by Washburn college students. Last week a number of the women occupied boxes at "The Messiah." They were guests of Mr. Scott Hopkins.

Governor Capper frequently sends his touring car to the home and the "girls," as the ladies delight in calling each other, are taken for a drive or to the movies. Other Topekans are thoughtful to the ladles and extend many little courtesies to them. The women in Ingleside at present are: Mrs. Elizabeth Coleman, Clay Center; Mrs. Anna Bingham, Junction City; Mrs.

Rowena Burrows, Burlin-game; Mrs. Thoda Anna Lathrop, Gar-nett; Mrs. Mattie KIngle; Mrs. Nancy Molton, Wellington; Mrs. Mary Wood, Coffeyville; Mrs.

"Four thousand dollars. Ma'am!" And oh. yes, and be sure to see the perfectly beautiful sets of lynx fur up there on the third floor. Then while you're there just price different things and you will be mightily surprised to learn how low much real style and quality a comparatively small amount of money will buy. Mr.

Grouch, hearing about the student at the University of California who held his breath for more than ten minutes, remarked that that would be a mighty good thing if it was taught In all schools and colleges for girls. yes, the buyers for the big Mills Stores Company had the wee kiddies in mind when they bought furs and I noticed one lovely set of Summer Ermine, for a little miss, with the muu made in the new mellon shape.

When Kris Kinkle swoops over house tops, whether it be in a Zeppelin, auto or his own big red sleigh and reindeer, he will bound joyously down chimneys where are "Silver Threads Among the Gold." That is why Topeka'a family of twenty-four "Old Ladies" is making preparations to receive the genial guest. The oldest one of the household will welcome St. Nicholas for the eighty-eighth time.

Yuletide will mean a blaze of Christmas Glory at Ingleside. When the house members of Ingleside go marching into breakfast Christmas morning they will be greeted by tables blazing with colored candles. Around the base of table Christmas trees, one on each table, will be glistening snow. Each member of the family will receive a personal gift from the Ingleside board. All jollification of the day will not end with the folding of breakfast napkins.

Dinner will bring another flood of sunshine. A full turkey menu will be served and Carolyn, the fat mammie cook whose kitchen is shining knows what's what in Christmas dinners. Miss Mary Kennedy, the house matron, will plan the dinner, which is also a gift from the board. There are twenty-three elderly women in the house. The age limit is 65 years.

Some cannot hear, some cannot see and others are unable to walk, but it is a happy atmosphere. It is happy at Christmas time because each of the dear old ladies, who have had families of their own, now gone, are finding a ray of joy and hope in life in fixing a little gift for some far away relative. Knitting, tatting and quilting are popular these days; Ingleside home for Kansas old ladies was originated In the early eighties by a group of Topeka women, whose sympathy was touched. Plans were formulated and Jt was agreed to take care of women who were homeless but not necessarily destitute. By the payment of a comparatively small sum of money, the "old lady" entering the home is assured of splendid care the remainder of her life.

The first Ingleside home was located at Twelfth and Van Buren streets. But it was found that the rooms there were inadequate for the broad purpose of the home. The board members were all Topeka women of high social standing. When the needs of the home were brought to outside friends, a number of Topeka business men got behind the movement and helped the board members in their tremendous undertaking. Lots were purchased at the corner of Tyler and Huntoon streets and "Ingleside" was permanently founded.

Subsequent improvements were made and a large addition monly dear in Germany. The price of middling in the open market at Bremen was about double the price which prevailed before the intervention of Italy, and about treble the price at the beginning of August, 1914. "The situation as regards cotton waste is similar to the situation as regards cotton. Germany and Austria were always important buyers of English, American and Indian waste. Since the disappearance of these two buyers it is said that enormous stocks of cotton waste have accumulated in Lancashire and also In Bombaj-.

"Employment in the German cotton-spinning mills has fallen off very much in consequence of the official regulations. Yarns are no longer delivered except to purchasers who can prove that they will be used for the carrying out of army contracts, and as such orders are not on a very great scale business is stagnant. Deliveries are kept within the narrowest limits, and there have been very few new bargains during the last few months. Bufiness in imitation and fancy yarns is rather more active, as it is also in the mills which produce two-cylinder yarn, because these businesses can use the various kinds of cotton waste the employment of which is permitted by the regulations. A large number, however, of cotton, cotton waste and also 'imitation mills have preferred to stop work.

"The position in the German cotton-weaving industry has been unfavorable during the past three months. Production for non-military requirements is, with comparatively few exceptions, forbidden. Orders for the military authorities were only of moderate extent in August and September. It was only during October that blanket business became more active. Almost the whole existing stocks of cotton blankets were taken up by the military authorities, and new orders were given.

Ther is also a strong demand at present for tandbag materials. Many concerns have devoted themselves to this business, and are employing in it most of their spindles. The busiest concerns are those which produce bandages and hospital requisites, many of them being supplied with orders until cejt CORRECT DRESS FOR MEX.
