"Everything from sewing needles to threshing machinery" is the saying over in the Extension Department when people write in for information. The latest is "tatting."

FOR A GOVERNOR
EACH FOUR YEARS
Prof. F, W. Blackmar Would Doubi Present Terms of All State And County Officials.
To increase the term of the governor of Kansas and all state and county officers to four years in place of the two-year plan is the latest reform in the state system of government proposed by F. W. Blackmar, professor of sociology and economics of the University of Kansas.
"The election of state and county officers every four years instead of every two years is the most needed reform in practical politics of today," declared Professor Blackmar today. The following are the reasons for it: "First, it is necessary as a safeguard to the primary which throws the responsibility of nominating officers upon people. As now we have the primary law causes practically two elections every two years or an average of one election every year. This lays a continuous burden upon voters who must be looking all the time for new servants of the public.
Present System Wrongs Officials "Second, it is an excessive burden upon those running for office taking a large amount of their time which impairs their ability to manage the amount of their own money in order to insure their continuance in office.
"Third, it has a tendency to discourage a certain class of business men who would make first class officers, but are not willing to spend much time for them, holding a political office that pays a small revenue.
"Fourth, the changes of membership from session to session in the legislature are so great and the sessions so short that good legislation is very difficult to obtain and sometimes well nigh impossible. Members of both houses of the legislature should be elected every four years."
Would Give Time For Study.
"Fifth, in order to safeguard legislation they should hold two sessions, one each biennium and in the first session bills relating to any constitutional change in the statute law effecting the administration of justice, legislation or government shall be held until the second session. This would give opportunity for all of the legislators to study these measures for two years and would give the people an opportunity also to study the proposed legislation. This would prevent hasty and inconsiderate legislation. No bills except for appropriations and emergency bills should be passed in the first session.
"Sixth, in the second session of the legislature no bills should be introduced except appropriation and emergency bills, but the time should be spent in discussing and passing or rejecting such bills as were introduced in the first session of the legislature.
People Should Know Measures "Seventh, the bills which were passed over from one session to another would be placed in the hands of committees for careful study or in a publicity committee or bureau which would see that they were thoroughly distributed among the people for their study and consideration.
eighth, such an arrangement
would greatly increase the value of the primary law and would have a great many of the good qualities of the referendum.
"Ninth, the referendum is supposed to carry out more specifically the will of the people, but I believe a plan such as the above will be found more effective in legislation in the government of the people than the referendum, the recall or the primary.
"Tenth, if the people should see fit to have the recall of administrative officers and the establishment of the initiative and referendum the above plan would aid all of these measures."
CHUNK OF CALCITE
    GETS NEW HOME
The big piece of Calcite, which has been in the east museum room of Haworth hall for some time, will no longer be marked with initials by students who pass through the room. It has been mounted in concrete and placed in a glass case out of reach of pencils, and since it has been cleaned, it is the pride of "Daddy" Haworth's heart.
Chemical Engineers Meet
An important meeting of the chemical engineering society will be tonight at 7:00 p. m. in the chemistry building. Dr. E. H. S. Bailey, who has just returned from a year's stay in Europe in the interest of pure food work, will tell of some of the incidents and features of this summer it is illustrated with lantern slides, and will be one of the most interesting meetings ever held by the society. Everyone is cordially invited to attend.
The fact that there are 50 men on the faculty of the University of Kansas who could earn more money by following their profession reminded Chancellor Frank Strong of the story about the Latin professor who was leaving for his summer vacation.
"How will you have your salary sent to you, professor" inquired the college treasurer.

DEANWOULD SWAT PATENT MEDICINES
"In postage stamps," responded the professor quietly.
L. E. Sayre, Head of Pharmacy Urges Citizens of State to Use Nostrums Sparingly.
"Swat the patent medicine!"
This is the latest edict that has gone forth from the office of L. E. Sayre, Director of Drug Analysis of the Kansas State Board of Health and Dean of the School of Pharmacy, following an analysis of nostrums sold in the state.
Dean Sayre's investigation showed that the patent medicines were usually some simple combination of well-known brands or abundantly extravagant pills are made.
"Among the scores of these nastrous exploited in Kansas," said Dean Sayre, "we found one that had been advertised to cure about thirty different diseases, from consumption to Bright's disease, by dropping the medicinal liquid into the eye. This liquid, when analyzed at the University drug laboratory, was found to consist of a watery solution of salt and sugar. The foxy propriator of this preparation knew that the dear public would, by suggestion, be influenced to have the various diseases enumerated and be led to believe the brazen statements, made that this alleged remedy (salt and sugar) was the one reliable remedy for the long list of ill named.
"Another one of the so-called patent medicines calculated to allure public patronage is known as Fruitola and Traxo. This compound is alleged to be a "System cleanser, to remove gall stones, and to positively cure all stomach trouble." On analysis this alleged wonderful remedy is found to contain ordinary olive oil as the principal medicinal substance.
"Any intelligent, thoughtful person knows that many of the symptoms listed in patent medicine advertisements are caused by many disorders other than the diseases cited. For one to diagnose his own case is the height of folly; yet these advertisers advise the poor deluded victim to pass upon subjects often baffling the highest medical skill. The erroneous business done by the proprietors of the medicine which it is to the health and lives of the public requires us to scrutinize carefully the ground upon which these nostrums stand. And it is shown that they belong to the reprehensible class."
Here's the prescription that Dean Sasco has written out for every family in Kamloops.
"For minor ailments every home should be provided with well-known household remedies. With these it should be the duty of the family provider to become not only well acquainted, but with some careful attention to become intelligent in their use. This should be the duty of the mother, who is naturally, from her position, the nurse of the family. These household remedies should contain ingredients about which there should be no suggestion of secrecy, nor be even seemingly protected by a so-called mis-named "paten". They should be composed of well-recognized medicinal agents out which the physician or pharmacist should be willing and able to furnish reliable and trustworthy information without remuneration. This information should be given freely, as it is common property, contributed by Pharmacists and physicians and published in standard medical works.
