Lal Il ette Mad
Serious Mistake

Senator LaFo toilette is taking SIM
gular course In essonneing the news
papers. without exception, as being
the bought agents and servitors Of
trusts. interests. corporations and mo-
mop lies. and landing magazines as the
only source from which the truth and
honest criticism Of men and measures
emnates. It is particularly strange
coming from one who is candidate
for high office and who must depend
upon the newspapers for assistance.
It is true that there are newspapers
that are dominated by the interests
referred to but they are comparative
5ly few. while the majority are as hon
est and fearless as are magazines. MIR.
Seitz who presided at the BANQUET at
which LaFollette vented his spleen,
arose at once at the conclusion Of
the senator's remarks and said: II
shall not attempt nor have / the time
to come to the defense of the news
papers of the country which have
Just been foolishly, wickedly and un-
truthfully assailedn This was sting
ing rebuke Justly deserved by Mr.. La
Toilette. 1t is not an uncommon
thing for a candidate to assail the
press after defeat, but to attack
the most powerful agent when it is
most needed is indeed astonishing. Per
haps the senator may discover the
slanderous mistake he has made.

WILL MEAT PRICES GO UP AGAIN

Many Watertown people do not care
If meat prices are UP or down, because
they have found that Minnesota
macaroni and spaghetti, with their
delicious nut-like flavor, take the place
of meat very largely and are more
easily digested. 5
Good macaroni and spaghetti are
four times as nutricious as beef-steak.
and they are the best and most nour-
ishing foods known. They can be
easily prepared in many appetizing
ways and are suitable for the daintiest
luncheon as well as the heartiest feast,
But If you want that rich, nut:like
favor be sure and get the delicious

Durum wheat with all the nourishing
