Sciences who stated that It is won
derful how our students have become
interested in things military"
"It Is amazing to read reports Of tho
military progress Of the students, and
more amazing to read comments on
those reports made by military authori-
ties in the War Department" said Prof.
Crane.
1T is useless to try to overlook to-
night the fact that every minute Is
fraught with grave danger for the
United States" said Congressman
Maurice Connolly Of Iowa. There's no
telling to what developments may lead.
Now Is the time to prepare for any ex-
igency, not by burdening the people with
a great tax, but by training our citizen
ry in the use OF arms, as President

IF BREADS TOO HIGH,
EAT MORE POTATOES
This Is Advice Of Scientists in
United States Department Of
Agriculture.
If bread costs more, eat more potatoes.

If bread costs more, eat more potatoes.
This Is the advice OF scientists in the
Department Of Agriculture. who suggest
high level or continues to rise In price.
with a consequent increase OF bread
prices, the ordinary household will find
1t advantageous to eat more potatoes
and less bread.
With potatoes at go cents bushel
they are now 70 cents in Washington
10 cents worth-or ten pounds-will give
the consumer a little more actual nour-
ishment than two one pound loaves OF
bread at cents each. The average loaf
Of bread in Washington is Under "A
ounces. pound and three quarters to
the loaf. more than ofrsetting the great
er cost Of potatoes in Washington.
There ia more protein and fat In bread
but potatoes have more carbohydrates
(starch) and heat units. Like other
foods rich in carbohydrates. potatoes
should be eaten with foods correspond-
ingly rich IN protein. such asi milk
eggs. meat. and butter, to supply the
fats the body needs.
Under normal conditions in Europe
bread as a carbohydrate food. II prices
change sufficiently to make 1t desirable
from a financial point of view. there
Is no scientific reason why potatoes
should not be substituted to great ex-
tent for bread. In addition, the potato
like many fruits and vegetables. helps
to neutralize ~ acid condition in the
body. This IL another reason for Its
being eaten in combination with meat
fish. and other animal foods.

Uplift Plan To-
Benefit Farmers
Agricultural Department Scheme
Will Be Explained in Detail
In Coming Year Book.

An uplift scheme for the benefit Of
rural communities has been worked out
by the Department of Agriculture and
will be fully explained in the forthcom-
ing year book.
1t provides for the organisation by a
community of ten committees-hve busi-
ness and five social. The business conf
mittees suggested are on farm produc-
ton. marketing. securing farm supplies.
farm finance. and accounting and COM
munication and transportation. and the
social committees are on education, SAN
itation, recreation. Identification, and
household economics.
In addition there would be the usual
officers and central committee, COM
posed of the general officers of the COM
munity organization and the chairncn
Of the ten committees. This body would
direct the general policy, raise all funds
and direct expenditures.
Valuable economic benefits. as well as
stronger patriotism are said by the de-
partment to be the advantages Of such
a plan.

acquire wealth and power and imperal-
ism. And the insanity Of war will be
the fate facing this nation IL it likcwis"

God that while the passion Of war is
foremost in the minds of the nations
abroad. we have at thu head Of our State

STAY m IOWA.

w c. Jarnagin, managing editor OF
the Des Moines Capital, recently
made trip through the west and
took occasion to observe conditions
out there. He found many Iowans in
the west who had made their money
In Iowa and were spending it in the
west and he says that former lowans
living in the west confess they have
to make their money in Iowa before
they can afford 10 live in the west {.
Among other things Mr.. Jarnagin
says:
2 my advice to the Iowan is as fol-
lows: If you want to make money,
stay in Iowa. II you want to spend
money, the west gives you plenty of
chances If you have money to in
vest, invest it in the Hawkeye state
where yields are certain and pronts
sure.
There are countless Iowans in the
west. Most of them are happy and
are doing well. They are leaders,
too. This is because they have the
genuine Iowa hustle. 1t is notice,
able, however, that the greatest part
of them are moneyed men and not
wage earners. They made their
money in Iowa. The man who is Oh
q salary is better off in Iowa where
times are always good and there is no
easterner, broken down in health, to
come along looking for job, willing
to take yours from you at a less sal
airy than you are getting, so that he
can recllperate his health and make
a lyfnu nj 50, mn timp
If Iowa is such good state, Why
do We see so many Iowans out here?
I was asked on numerous occasions
by western boosters.
"a They have to live in Iowa to make
their money before they can afford to
live here was my reply"

SICKNESS INSURANCE.

One of the chief causes of misery
among the poor is sickness. The i'll
ness of worker deprives him of his
income and incurs doctor bill. A
worker who needs every days pay to
provide him with the necessities oil
life is submerged in hopeless debt as
soon as he has to lose time by sick
mass or to pay physicians bill.
The only possible way to cope with
the terrible inhumanity of this condi'
ton at present is to institute sickness
insurance. The United States Public
Health service has recently complet-
ed an investigation and study of sick
ness insurance systems in Europe. AS
the outcome OF its findings it reports
that changing conditions in the
United States will sooner or later, as
in other countries, force the enact
ment OF law providing for sickness
insurance"
A form of sickness insurance Is sug
gested by the health service which it
is claimed, will embody the success

surance shall be paid from three
sources as follows: so to G6 2-3 per
cent by employees. 80 1-3 per cent by
employers, who are financially inter
ested in keeping their employees well,
and 10 per cent by the state. 1t is
calculated that the desired benefits
would cost the worker from 25 to 80
cents a week.
The benefits recommended would
not exceed two thirds of the workers
wages for twenty-six weeks In a
single calendar year. A small death
benefit to meet the ordinary expenses
OF burial and other benefits to include
medical and surgical relief and dentist
ny services are also part of the pro-
posed system.
II is recommended, furthermore.
that the sickness insurance plan must
be operated on a purely mutual basas
with the smallest possible expense for
administration This would mean the
elimination of insurance for profit
