BERGER WANTS THE
SENATE DISCARDED
Socialist Congressman Intro
duces a Resolution in the
House Today.
american News Service,

Washington. April 27.-Declariug
Representative Berger. Socialist. in
troduced resolution in the house to-
day calling for the abolition of the up
per branch OF congress. In his pre-
amble he states the senate has become
a useless and obstructive body and a
menace to the liberties of the people,
and an obstacle to the social growth of
the United States.
Many OF its members, he says, are
representatives, not of state or peo-
pie, but of certain predatory combina-
tions and body which by reason of
the corruption attending the election
of it's members has furnished the gray-
est public scandals in the history of
the nation.
The Berger resolution would abol.
ish the senate and vest all legislative
powers in the house, of representa-
tives whose acts, subject to referen.
dunn. shall be the supreme law of the
land. Berger declared today the sen.
ate had become in some respects sim.
liar to the house of lords. He denied
that the senate should be regarded as
CHECK" against sudden upheavals In
the government, declaring that there
Is nothing more conservative than the
great mass of the people. Speaking
of the referendum he said "The refer
endum Is, in reality, the most conserv
alive political power in existence, as
the example of Switzerland proves
where 1t has been in use for many
years. The referendum is infinitely
stronger than all the senates in the
world because no democratic power Ii
great enough to resist it and yet M
progressive measure or reform is safe
until it is accepted by the majority o.
the people,"

MAY Be
COMPELLED TO run
Sentiment for His Candidacy
for President Noticed
in Washington.
{Amcrican News Serviee)

Washington, April 27.-It is almost
certain that unless Col. Roosevelt
stays the efforts of his friends that
his name will shortly be taken up in
earnest as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for president in 1912.
An interview given by Senator Borah.
a progressive. after his return from a
visit to the Colonel is significant of
the sentiment generally among the
progressiyes and even some of the
conservatives. 1t is generally admit
ted by all brands of Republicans in
Washington that Taft cannot be re-
elected in the present state of popu-
lar sentiment. The understanding
here among Mr.. Roosevelt's friends
is that he does not desire the nominal
ton but would accept il the country
demanded.

freedom from warfare, should again.
this year, be one of the winners of the
Nobel peace prize. This feminine
apostle of the splendid cause is a most
gracious woman and a clever CONVEX
sationalist. The friend of everyone in.
terested in arbitration, she has met
celebrated people of many countries
and is therefore a most interesting
speaker. She talks fluently in many
languages and is broad-minded, deep
thinking woman, free from prejudice.
This devoted Austrian lady was born
CT years ago at Prague, daughter of
the late Field Marshal Count Frans
Won Kinsky, a member of one OF the
most ancient and famous houses OF
Austria. One would hardly expect an
apostle OF peace to arise from the war
like house of Kinsky, or that a mem
Der Of that aristocratic family would
devote her entire life to working for
the people, persuading them that the
only thing that can save the nations is
universal peace. The early life of
the countess was passed at Vienna,
and, owing to her fathers high posi-
ton, It was very brilliant, furnishing
her with much information that has
been useful in her work. The numer-
GUS books she has written show a
great knowledge of life in all its
aspects.
When quite a young girl the Count
ess Kinsly was engaged to Prince
Wittgenstein, and it was his early
death in battle that brought to her
forcibly all the horrors Of war. For
many years she mourned her lover
and she was no longer young when
she met and married Baron Gundacar
Won Suttner. The baron sympathized
in all her Views and with his help she
has accomplished much that she might
otherwise have been unable to fulfill
He also was writer, and he did much
for the cause OF peace.
The baroness has thorough knowl'
edge OF English literature and her
books are the result Of her reasoning
and her wide reading. The baroness
is president Of the Austrian Peace 30
ciety and is vice-president Of the In
ternational Peace bureau at Bernie

cHARTINe FOOD VALUES

The department of agriculture
which has been experimenting to de-
termine the nutritive value of the
food on the American breakfast. din
ner and supper table. has issued a
series of charts which show the re-
suits of its investigations.
Scientifically. food is that which
taken into the body, builds tissue or
yields energy. Every constituent of
food has its purpose. One part re-
pairs the tissues. another forms the
bones and another assists in diges-
ton. The value of any food article.
therefore, is measured by its perform.
ance of these functions. The nutrients
in food are protein. fats, carbobv-
drates and mineral matter or ash.
From these the several parts of the
human machine take what they re.
quire for upkeep and fuel energy and
the waste is eliminated.
Scientific feeding of cattle and hogs
Is nothing new The secret of II was
discovered early, because it was found
there was money in it. The scientific
feeding of human beings has not
made the same progress because the
stake was only human life, which has
been cheap in all ages of the world.
