The basis of the soup may be any kind of beans, black, navy, kidney, or soy; dried, spilt, cooked, boiled or fried in corn. For thickening whole grains are used either of wheat, oats, barley, rice, rye, kaffir corn or fetemia, and a small quantity of flour. Any sort of condiment or flavor vegetable may be used to aid the taste. These ingredients are used in varying proportions and combinations to make present high prices they cost only from one cent to two and one half cents a cup.

The local coal shortage may be greatly relieved by the order of the government, "to keep Kansas coal in Kansas for Kansas." The order is; that all coal mined in Kansas for three months be handed to relieve the situation within the state.
Balley, Douglas County Fuel Administrator, is advising everybody to use any kind of fuel, especially wood and cheaper grades of coal. He will announce the maximum price that can be charged by Lawrence dealers in a
The government orders that all army camps and manufacturing plants with war contracts, be supplied with coal first. Then public utilities, such as: schools, power plants, water plants, etc., are to be supplied before private institutions are built on it; it is not advisible to wait for coal, but it can start using substitutes immediately and in that way aid in relieving the situation.
It is hoped that the very acute coal

puted to a new grade.

Give Jewelry for Christmas
Of all gifts, none are so eloquently expressive of the Christmas spirit as jewelry and precious stones. Gifts that outlast a lifetime, many giving the joy of possession to several generations—must be regarded as economical regardless of the initial cost. Their inherent values take them out of the class of mere purchase and place them on par with staple investments. In Parsons' jewelry is reflected the certainty of value that years of experience insures.
