the potato breaks up the hard, tough

be employed to dissolve this woody ma

Is true of the potato Is also true Of all
the starchy and vegetable foods.

fairs attending has possibilities well-ngh unlimited
for practical usefulness
In a time such as the present, when industrial,
commercial, and political relationships are in a
transitional condition. there is need for the serious
consideration of many problems by just as many
tribunals as possible The judgments of the busl-
ness community might be expected to find reflection
in the deliberations of highly organized national
Chamber of Commerce. 1t should be as wide as
the country, however, its membership should be
equitably apportioned among the sections, so that
its discussions and conclusions could be relied upon
to give a composite impression of national thought
and interest.
Great questions of currency, banking tariff, con-
servation, transportation, communication, etc., are
coming to be regarded less and less as political,
more and more as business, economic, and social
affairs Political nstrumentalities must indeed be ap
piled to the determination of national policies toward
these varied problems; but the oldfashioned ideas
of statecraft can with difficulty be stretched to
cover the multarous interests and activities which
nowadays are included in the mandate that the peo-
pie give to their legislators. The pubcs servants
have acute need to know the best thought OF the
country on vast and increasing number of subjects.
Organizations such as this national Chamber of
Commerce may help both in the proper direction Of
needed legislation and in avoiding legislation that is
unnecessary. The highly organized instrumentali-
ties of modern society by cooperative effort &C
complsh without statutes much that were better done
in this way. The more we learn to get good results
without laws which must of necessity restrict and
hamper, the better it is for the whole community.

HOW ABOUT IT, PROF. MOORE?

We are doing good deal of worrying about the
plans for inaugurating our next President; worry
ing that doesn't seem to take into account the cheer
less way our old Friend Boreas has of interfering
with arrangements.
If an overdue winter gets dumped on US in a
bunch along about March 4, there's going to be no
restraining the anger of this populace, which will
seek to vent itself against Boreas and his advance
agent, the weather man. Boreas is hard to catch,
but Prof Moore to think of what may happen
to him if another bareback is pulled Inauguration
day, is quite beyond the normal imagination.

IRELAND NEARER HOME RULE.

q The heart of every true Irishman beats a little
faster The green flag has all but reached the peak
OF the flagstaff.
But there, just short of the peak, unfortunately
the flag must stick for more years. There is, of
course doubt that the lords will reject the bill
by an overwhelming VOTE and the success or failure
of the coalition to overcome their veto will measure
the efficacy of the means that have been taken to
cnrb the upper house. Students of government will
follow the fluctuations of party strength in England
for the next two years with marked interest.
TIE fist will be the more crucial because, though
the attack on the lords prerogatves hinged nomi-
naly on finance bill, it rendered possible only
by the support of tne Irish natonalists and this was
won by the inclusion of the home rule bill in the
lierals' program. Premier Asquith has loyalty full

question of home rule he can command far less
support in England than on any other issue he has
advanced

THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION.

Good sense came to the top in the House Of
Representatives when, after opportunity to think
the matter over it passed the Rockefeller Founda-
ton bill by overwhelming vote. 1t is never diff

stock when man so outrageousy solvent as Mr..
Rockefeller proposes to do something for the public
with his cash. But in this case the terms of the
great trust which he proposes to found are care
fully guarded that it is difficult to produce more
than captous objections. A vast deal Of practical
good will undoubtedly be accomplished through this
endowment. The public will on the whole be bet
ter served, and will feel more assurance that the
service will be in entire good faith and sincerity, in

THE TELEPHONE INVESTIGATION.

The telephone business is the one perfect Illus
traton of the superiority of monopoly over COM
petition in public service facilities. Two gas conf
panies may be operated in the same town without
necessarily njurng service; it is wasteu, but not
obviously detrimental to efficiency. With the tele-
phone If is different. the subscriber, under COM
petitive conditions cannot nave telephone facilities
which place him parity with others, unless he
have both phones, two directories, answer two
instruments, pay two prices. Monopoly is absolutely
necessary to efficiency.
The question, tnen, at the outset of the Inter-
state Commerce Commissions inquiry is not wheth-
er there shall be monopoly, but whether it shall be
regulated or unregulated monopoly. Carrying that
inquiry 10 its logical end, the final question is
whether there shall be private public ownership
The recent taking over of the telephone service
of Great Britain by the government and its annexa-
ton to the postal service, which already controlled
the telegraph has attracted wide attention in this
country.
The close association of the telegraph and tele-
phone services, their obvious functions as compile
rnents one of the other. draws the telegraph into
this same consideration. Corporate ownership has
recognized this relationship, in the deal by which
the American Telephone and Telegraph Company
has become the largest, as il is the dominating,
shareholder in the Western Union. 1t is plain enough
that we are not very far from serious, practical
legislative consideration of government monopoly
of telephone and telegraph, and that public senti-
ment is increasingly favorable to that determination
of the matter.

One Rule For Digestion.

~ ONE one has well said that the
important physiological proc
~ ess of digestion begins not In
the stomach but in the kitch-
en-. This Is absolutely true for the
average human being Of today.
In ages gone by, when mans occu-
patton consisted chiefly In hunting
wild animals. and he was thereby
forced to lead very strenuous life
out of doors most of the time. cook
ing was not very important and could
be dispensed with. But modern, in
door life, with its sedentary habits
and occupations and the consequent
lowering Of all the functions of the
body, including that OF digestion. has
brought about a condition when raw
foods can no longer be made to serve
the needs of man.
Cooking has to beiemployed to carry

way.
The clue was the words The Boule-

street some blocks below. to which the
streets Of the neighborhood that ran into
a transverse direction sloped steeply.
Mr.. Jarr kept down the street, cross
ing the avenue and then went on down
theNeteep declivity Of the next block to
