Old home town – 100 years ago today

From the Lawrence Daily World for July 1, 1906: “If rules promulgated by Dr. S.J. Crumrine of Lawrence, secretary of the state board of health, there will be no more impure foods in Kansas. Dr. Crumrine is a leader in public health. : A huge crowd attended the band concert in Central Park as the new pavilion but the concert ended by 9:30 due to threatening rain. : The U.S. House closed today but postponed adjournment until 6 o’clock to spend the afternoon singing songs and shouting. It finished its business before the frivolity began, we are told.”
