HERMAN FOETISCH DIES YESTERDAY Pioneer Shoemaker Passes Away Early Yesterday 3Iorning After Lingering Illness. Herman years old, a native of Germany, and one of Leavenworth's pioneer cobblers or shoemakers, died at 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning following a long illness. Senile debility was the cause of his death. Herman Foetisch was born May 12, 1828 in Germany. He came to the United States when a young man and settled in this county.

For many years he was employed by the Drechsel and Graieske shoe firm on Cherokee, street. He has many friends to mourn his death. No immediate relatives survive him. The funeral services will be held at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the chapel of the J. C.

Davis undertaking company with the Rev. L. M. Nanninga, pastor of the Evangelical church officiating. Burial will be made in the Mount Muncie cemetery.

Another advantage that comes with poverty is that a doctor doesn't mother to use up all his big woras on poor patients. Careless Use of Soap Spoils the Hair Soap should be used very carefully. If you want to keep your hair looking its best. 'Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulslned cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better" than the most expensive soap or anything else you can use.

One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the bair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can eet mulslfied cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's -very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months.

Make Levies for Recent Special Improvements. A contract for one hundred barrels of Portland cement was let by the city commissioners last night to the A. M. Geiger Cement Company at $2.10 a barrel, the highest price paid since City Engineer H. A.

Per kins first instituted the policy of buying in carload lots with competitive bidding two years ago. It is more than double the, amount charged a year ago, and higher prices are expected. Only one bid was entered, although the letting was advertised and city officials even personally urged various local companies to submit figures. The same trouble has been cipcueuueu lor several montns, ana 1 iea.ua many xo Deaeve mat a combine has been formed, among cement distributors to Taise prices. Even when several firms have entered bids recently the difference in prices has been only a cent or two on a barrel.

USE CARLOAD IN WEEK. Cement is no small item in the city's expenses, and the constantly climbing prices are felt severely. A carload is often used in one week when much work is in progress, although the batch purchased last night will probably last for two month's, acording to City Engineer Perkins. The belief that cement distributors and manufacturers are illegally restraining competition has been held for 'a long time by city officials and the present trend of quotations confirms their opinion. There is no apparent reason for such an increase in cement prices, according to those who keep in touch with conditions.

CLOSE BID ON SEWER. A difference of less' than four dol lars decided the letting of a sewer contract last night. Edward Jones and the Collins Construction com pany entered bids on a six-inch sani tary sewer in the alley between Pawnee and Cheyenne streets west from Fifth street and their figures nearly coincided. The Jones bid was for 11,837.30, while Collins' offer was for 1833.40. Both were well below the city engineer's estimate, and on motion of Commissioner Charles Cox Collins was given the job Three ordinances were passed establishing the levy to pay for recent special improvements.

The money will be turned in with interest in ten annual installments in each case. The first ordinance related to a new sewer in 113 Western addition; the second to a sewer between Ninth and Tenth streets in block 2, Mix's subdivision, and block 21, Cochran and Mulligan's subdivision; the third to the grading and curbing of Columbia avenue between Spruce and Olive streets. Robert J. Morgan, clerk of the board of education, served formal notice on the commissioners that four members of the board are to be elected at the coming spring election. One will be elected for the term extending from August 1, 1917, to August 1, 1919, and the other three for erms expiring August 1, 1921.

THANK U. S. FOR SUPPORT GIVEN Cuban Leader Declares Cuban People Will Learn Value of America's Friendship. Washington, Feb. 20.

In reply to a memorandum presented by American Minister Gonzales, formally announcing that the United States supports the constitutional government of Cuba and will hold the leaders of the revolt there responsible for injury to foreign lives and property, the Cuban secretary of state has as-cured the minister of his government's gratitude with a declaration that all Cuba will realize the value of the friendship of the United States. "It is not necesasry," said the reply in part, "for me to ratify in the president's name the expression of his satisfaction and gratitude which was made known by him this morning to your excellency, but I must and can assure you that the government and all the people of Cuba appre ciate in -all that they are worth, those conclusive and terminant proofs that the government of the United States offers them of its friendship for Cuba.
