From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for April 22, 1916:

• “Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, in charge of the food and drug analysis department at the University of Kansas, is waging a determined war upon several brands of supposedly pure cider vinegar. Prof. Bailey, who made the first food report to the state board of health in 1906, is determined that the housewife shall not be imposed upon in the future as she has been in the past. ‘One of the most flagrant cases of adulteration we have found in our laboratory work,’ declares Professor Bailey, ‘is that of some brands of vinegar. Labeled “cider vinegar” and sold at approximately the same price as the real thing, some of these fluids are nothing more than distilled vinegar, colored with burnt sugar. We have succeeded in weeding out much of this evil but others crop up from time to time. They are a direct violation of the law, and must be suppressed.’ The law in Kansas states plainly that such articles must be properly labeled, and it is this evasion that the University laboratories are seeking to unearth…. Prof. Bailey declares the vinegar adulterations are rapidly decreasing because of the work of the University laboratories and he is determined to stamp out the few remaining violations of the pure food and drug laws, along that line.”
• “Suit was filed yesterday afternoon in Justice Clark’s court against the senior class of the University of Kansas, by A. A. Bigelow, a grocer of south Massachusetts street, for bills incurred for the Sophomore Hop of 1914 through Clyde Vanderlip, the manager of the party. Subpoenas were served against Mr. Vanderlip and C. A. Randolph, president of the class this year, to appear before Justice Clark on April 25. The amount named on the subpoenas is $58.50. Mr. Bigelow told a reporter for the Journal-World last night that he had been trying to collect the money for almost two years and that he had taken the matter up with Chancellor Frank Strong, Registrar Geo. O. Foster and other University authorities, but that he had been able to get no satisfaction. ‘The total bill was about $150, as I remember it,’ Mr. Bigelow said last night, ‘and the amount unpaid more than represents my profit. I have tried to play fair with the boys but they should realize that I have to have my money. Vanderlip has promised me several times that he would see to it that the account was paid but has never done so.'”
• “A team left untied at the Gibson mill ran half way down Massachusetts street this forenoon where its flight was ended by one of the horses falling. No one was in the wagon when the horses started to run. A delivery wagon was struck during the run and slightly damaged.”
• “The newest arrivals in Lawrence, the babies born in town, will have a better chance for life since the city commissioners voted this morning to purchase a baby lungmotor…. The tiny lungmotor will be kept at the fire station with the larger one, and it will be available for use of any physician of the city who sends for it in time of need. The cost to the city was a little over $30.”
