The taking up Of the election bill by the
casting vote of the Vice President affords
some ground for hoping that 1t may become
law before the Senate adjourns. The
ground. however, is very narrow, for Sena-
tors Quay and Cameron, both of whom voted
to take the bill up, are understood to be at
heart opposed to 1t and willing to assist the
Democrats in placing obstacles In its way.
Indeed Quay has already interposed one, in
the shape of an amendment authorizing the
President to suspend the writ of habeas cor
pus and to use the army and navy, thereby
making the bill fairly open to the objection
of being "force" bill, an objection which
the Democrats have used with more effect
than any other.

How few persons realize how many
lives are lost daily from want OF nutri.
tiOn such as diseased organs need to res

large per cent. remaining comes chiefly
from lack OF nutrition.
