From the Lawrence Daily World for Dec. 2, 1907: “The 60th U.S. Congress convened today and it is hoped that the early ceremonies will give way to solid legislation in both houses. There are many new faces in the group. : A number of local meat markets are advertising that they are strictly following the new regulation on purity and health of their products. This is definitely in the public interest. : Nearly 1,700 pieces of skin from her husband’s body were grafted on Mrs. U.S. Kistler in Salina after a coal oil explosion caused burns over two-thirds of her body. There is particular attention on the case by the medical community and they point out that one of the major problems is infection, even if the skin is accepted. : The Kansas Horticultural Society is having its 41st annual meeting in Topeka and many fruitmen from here are attending. : A football game played at Sterling, Kan., for charity last week netted almost enough receipts to pay the hospital bills for the injured players.”
