Under our present ways of living, though every
great man is recognized a leader, he is also
led. He is Obliged constantly to regard popular
favor as check. Often it operates on his finest
instincts and his best impulses. Until the fear is
removed OF loss of favor, with its resulting ma
terial disadvantages, there cannot be any real free
dom for art
So when we talk about the beauty of poverty
we use an absurd phrase
As matter of fact there is no more beauty
in poverty than there is in sickness of any sort,
in sin.
Like sin, poverty may call out the very noblest
qualities in human nature among the strong. But
the damage it does far outweighs any gain it
has conferred On humanity and offers no excuse
for its being allowed to go on in the world. Beside
the tests of poverty there plenty of other
These include the persistent striving that results,
ment, but from devotion to a service that is much
greater than ones self.

Effects Of Poverty.

A READER once took me to task for some re-
"A marks of mine about Charles Dickens. With
truth he said that recognized the influence of
poverty in the shaping of Dickens career and yet
seemed to depreeate poverty He added that
most men of great achievement had worked from
poverty into success. He evidently regarded pow

Where we produce one great writer like Dick

are that such writers saved and developed
are not those who talents the richest. They
arc those whose talents accompanied by the

Skim Milk Has High Food Value

Skim milk is a very economical food ma
terial, in the opinion of experts in the De
partment of Agriculture, and might well be
more largely used as human food-this, in
spite of the fact that it is nine-tenths water
The argument for economy is based on the
price at which it is usually sold, and upon
composition of the remaining tenth, or the
nutritive portion.
Whole milk, as everyone knows, is an in
dispensable food for the young, and even
in the diet of the adult it is comparatively
economical. The only nutrient taken from
it in Swimming is the butter fat. There is
left therefore, in the skim milk, not only all
of the sugar, which amounts to about AZ
parts in every 100, and all of the mineral
substances, but also all of the proteins. The
last-named substance is important because,
besides serving as fuel for the body, as fats,
sugars, and starches do, it also supplies nj
trogenous tissue-building material The
proportion of protein in skim milk, as well
as of the mineral constituents, which are
also valuable for bodybuilding, is even
greater than in whole milk.
Since the nutritve part of skim milk con
sists very largely of protein, it is to be
classed, as whole milk is, with such food

materials as eggs, meat, fish poultry and
cheese though it is much more delicate than
those foods. rather than with such sub
stances as sugar, which serve only as fuel.
Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain
almost as must protein and yield about the
same amount of energy as pound of round
of beef When skim milk sells for cents
quart, or about cents pound and round
of beef for 20 cents pound, dime, or any
other sum of money spent for skim milk.
will provide nearly twice as much nourish
ment as it will if spent for round steak
Round of beef, of course, is one of the lower
priced meats and when compared with the
more expensive cuts, skim milk makes still
better showing from the standpoint of econ
omy. The comparison with oysters is very
significant; quart of oysters contains less
than twice as much nourishment as a quart
of skim milk, and yet it often costs several
times as much. Both are useful, wholesome
foods, and in the oyster one has special
flavor. A combination Of the two in oyster
stew or creamed oysters, is an economical
way of using the oysters, since it makes
given quantity go further"
Whole, unskimmed milk has, OF course,
more pleasing taste to many people, and
those who do not need to consider the addi-
tional cost will, no doubt always prefer it.

An inventory OF her advantages would
probably disclose that no state is better
equipped by nature for the profitable pur-
suit of darying than is Kansas This is not
declared in any spirit of boastfulness, how
ever much pride in his favorable situation
the Kansan may justly entertain; nor to de-
tract from the admitted merits OF other re-
gions, but as a fact which skeptics, if such
there be, may verify by investigation.
In the states resources are found every
encouragement and stimulation for those
who would engage in this industry. The
measure of success one may realize Is
.yauged by the degree of intelligence with
which the business is conducted. In other
words, kindly providence has supplied here,
ready-made, conditions for large returns via
the Matchmaking route The extent to which
these may be utilized depends largely on the
man and his methods of management for
rewards will be governed by the quality and
quantity of brains used in the undertaking.
Some Kansas Qualifications.
To enumerate: Among the requirements
for high-class dairying are fertile soil, adapt
ed to crops that make the most desirable
dairy feeds, abundance of pure water, con-
venience to markets, and kindly climate.
These Kansas possesses in largest measure.
The fertility OF her soil is attested by her
history of heavy yields of corn, wheat, oats,
kafir, milo maize, sweet sorghum, alfalfa,
blue grass, clover, timothy and blue-stem,
and this adaptability is not only shown by
production but also by diversity of crops.
The mild climate means that sufficient
shelter may be provided at minimum cost.
The long seasons afford continuous grazing
from early spring to late fall, which favors
economical milk Inexhaustibe supplies OF
good water available to all portions for the
animals, are also invaluable factors in the
preservation of milk and cream and their
best handling.
An important essential is markets, and in
these Kansas is fortunate, having Kansas

and all the time clamorous Tor more than she
produces. In fact, one of the attractive as
sets OF Kansas is the great promise for
growth in this industry, to meet the increas-
ing demands of nearby voracious markets for
butter, cheese, cream and milk. The logic
of her situation means rapid and extensive
development as the years go by
The Silo in Kansas.
That Kansans are awakening to the merits
OF this branch of husbandry and to its posi-
biities is seen in their adopting the most
scientific and approved practices. Their
recognition of the silo is case in point. Six
or seven years ago there were perhaps not to
exceed fifty silos in the state; today there
are nearly ten thousand, the increase in the
past year being more than $500, Manu-
facturers have been watchful of this develop
ment, too. A few years ago silo on the
fair grounds was almost novelty, but the
various silo exhibits at the Topeka and
Hutchinson fairs this year were conspicu-
Gus and interesting features.
Dairying n Kansas was not Systematically
taken hold of and developed until after the
quite general introduction of alfalfa More
to this than to any other growth can be at
tributed the states advanced position in
darying. Alfalfa is peculiarly rich in pro-
tein, the most coveted property of feedstuffs,
and this makes possible the production OF
milk in Kansas at minimum cost The
state now has million acres, or considera-
bly, more than its nearest competitor. EX-
perienced feeders who know alfalfa hay in
sist, that cut at the right stage of maturity,
cured and stored, it falls little short
of serving all the purposes of good silage.
Dairy Herds Growing Fast
The Kansan is observing that the COW also
assists in conserving the fertility
of his land and increases its stores of plant
food The thriftier communities everywhere
are marked by their big dairy barns and
herds of pure breds and high-grades, and
farms noted for productiveness, for stable
and barnyard manure is the reliable fertiliz-
er for keeping up yields permanently.

When used for cooking, however, the dit
ference in taste between skinned and un
SKINNED milk is not perceptible, and there
are great many uses to which skim milk
can be put in the preparation of foods. In
the making OF cereal mushes, for instance,
the use of skim milk in place of water adds
greatly to the nutritive value, particularly
by raising the amount of tissue-forming ma

One of the big opportunities in Kansas
lies in the production of breeding stock to
supply the increasing needs of the Great
Southwest for high-grade and purebred
dairy animals The man who recognizes
this and who plans accordingly, should
richly profit by meeting these growing de-
mands AS it is men from Colorado, New
Mexico, Texas and other parts of the South
Kansas to points north and east. There is
no reason why Kansas should not produce
this breeding stock and get this business
There is no reason why Kansas should not
become noted not only as dairy state, but
also as breeding center of high-class dairy
animals

In fact. Kansas has only fairly begun to
appreciate her possibilities agriculturally
Thus far we have merely skinned the sur

pecting Notwithstanding our ever-increas
ing wheat sowings, we are in the dawn OF

ing to meet the requirements OF an agricul
ture that is gravitating into channels OF
greater stability and permanency. Necessar-
lily, this means more attention to live stock,
and there is no branch of husbandry better
adapted to the new agriculture than that OF
dairying.
Kansans have discovered that the com
munities which give the largest and most
intelligent attention to the cow and what
she Yields are not only best insured against
the sheriff, but are usually the best repre-
sentatives of a modern agriculture. Now
what we want to do is to make this state

The Centre of Medical Education

TTNHE alertness OF Philadelphia's medical
L men is once more demonstrated. The war
in Europe has made it impossible for Ameri-
can medical students to go abroad for post
graduate work. where every facility has been
offered for the training of specialists and the
special training of general practitioners. The
Philadelphia physicians and surgeons are
aware that there are in this city opportuni-
ties for postgraduate study as broad and as
comprehensive as in any European capital
They simply need co-ordinating and ADJUST
ing in such a way as to serve the convenience
OF students.
1t is to bring about such a co ordination of
the work that an association of more than
100 of the most distinguished medical men of
the city has been formed. Those who know the
members look forward with confidence TO the
accomplishment Of their purpose They and
their predecessors have made this city the
centre Of undergraduate medical instruction,
with six great medical schools They can ar
range for advanced work with equal success

Compromise Housinp Law

THE new housing law Is confessedly a
l. compromise with lawlessness. It is, there
fore, not So good law as that nulliled by
City Councils. 1t is, on the other hand, con-
sideraby better than no law at all 1t
assures better housing conditions in Phila-
delphia than those now existing 1t is a
forward step In comparison with anything
we have yet had although It is a backward
step in comparison with what we might have
enjoyed had Councils performed Its sworn
duty and made effective a statute Of the
Commonwealth.
The Governor is practical man and he
has acted as a practical man should. The
same influence which had controlled Coun-
ellis had also a half-Nelson on the Legisla-
ture That body was prepared to co what
ever the gang wanted It to do. The
Governor interposed his veto to kill the first
dsgraceful bill passed by this Legislature.
He compelled the nullifers to meet decent
citizenship half way. This in itself was a
triumph when the subserviency of Harris
burg is considered 1t is ALSO in manner,
a triumph for those determined men and
women who In the most discouraging cir
cumstances never slackened their energies in
fighting for this particular reform,
It was the privilege of the EVENING
LEDGER to give wide publicity to the dis
gusting conditions which required attention,
to expose the conspiracy of notification
which prevented the law from being made
effective, and to arouse the public to the
necessity of doing something. Mr.. Con-
nelly. whose word seems to be law in Coun-
ellis, gives assurances that proper appropri-
ations to make the law operative will be
made. That was one of the conditions of
the compromise. It may be anticipated,
therefore. that there will be better housing
in the congested districts. Better
housing means better citizens, and more of
them, too, If the health records are not

Trying to Make a Traitor of a Judge

uECTORING Judge Lindsey seems to be
IL the most popular sport in Denver year
in and year out. Now they want to put him
into Jail because he refuses to betray the
confidence of child whose mother was
accused of murder and acquitted.
The genial Judge declares that he is ready
to go to the Supreme Court to establish in
this country the principle that to violate the
confidence Of a child, "or even to be made
to testify to any confidential relation be-
tween the Judge and a child in the Juvenile
Court is contrary to public policy"
He probably will not have to go to so
high a tribunal to establish a principle so
obviously just and fair. Public sentiment
has a way of deciding public policy in the
United States, and in cases of this sort 1t is
not often that high courts are in disagree
ment with the people.

IN THE "ZOO"

Exlles. they tread their narrow bounds
Behind the iron bars.
Where'er they turn, the hand OF man
Their strainihg vision mars,
Save only when at night they gaze
Upon the friendly stars.
See! there a golden eagle broods
With glazed unseeing eyes
That never more will sweep the SHOWS
Where blue Slerras rise
And there, sick for his native hills,
A sullen panther lies.
What dreams of silent polar nights
Disturb the white bears sleep?
Roams he once more unfettered where
Eternal ice-hoes sweep?
What memories Of the Jungle's ways
Does that gaunt tiger keep?
Such wistful eyes the hartbeest turn
Beyond their cramped domain;
They seem to see the yellowing leagues
OF wind-swept Veldt again.
And lookl springbok lifts his head
AS though he smelled the plain.
Exiles, they tread their narrow bounds
Behind the iron bars,
For thus the ruthless hand OF man
Each God-made creature mars.
But oh, what hungry eyes they raise
Up to the friendly stars!

Justification for italy


TINE Italian Green Book presents Italy -
not why she entered the war, but how she
ever had the patience to keep out Of It so
long. In Italy's war with Turkey, Germany
and Austria insisted on their rights under
Article of the Triple Alliance so vigor-
ously that Rome was compelled to forego
important military enterprises, which would
have shortened the contest and saved mill
lions of lives. Yet both Germany and
Austria seemed to ignore utterly Italian in
terests when rushing into the present cata-
cysm.
Baron sonnino pointed out in his COM
munication of May 9, denouncing the alliance
with Austria, that Vienna during the gum
mer of 1914, without making any previous
arrangements with Italy and without giving
her even the slightest warning or needing
the advice sent by the Italian Government,
presented Serbia, July %, with an ultimatum
which was the cause and point OF departure
Of the present European con1agration."
In spite of this fragrant violation of the
solemn agreement with Italy, q real neutral
ity was maintained for months, during which
period every effort was made to secure proper
compensatlons from Vienna That capital,
however, introduced delay after delay of the
most trihing sort, with stupidity worthy of
the diplomacy which has characterized Teu-
tonic diplomacy in all negotiations during the
last year or two There was nothing left for
Italy to do but fight and that she has been
doing with heroism and an efficiency which
have already enhanced her reputation and
promise to add considerably to a history
already rich in glorious achievement

THIS week furnishes two notable and suR-

At Runnymede. England. seven hundred
years ago tomorrow, King John, with the
sword Of the barons at his throat, signed the
Magma Charta of English and American lib
critics. Seven centuries ago the AngIo-saxon
dealt the first blow to that myth of divine
right" which has led great race into dis
honorable conflict today; for Europe is now
settling on an international scale the same
question Runnymede decided for England
The other centennial has stin more direct
and fascinating analogies. One hundred years
ago a great military dictator faced united
Europe and went down before It at Waterloo.
Then, as now IL seemed as If liberty were
triumphing over despotism; yet there is this
disquieting thought for us to remember. In
spite OF Napoleon's autocratic and imperial
istic background, he It was who represented
the great progressive legacy OF the French
Revolution and his vanquishers were the
ones who put the real despotism back in the
saddle-or tried to. In somewhat the same
way Europe may even now be fghting a form
Of Industrial intellectual and artistic clviliza-
tion which II may ultimately come to adout.
But It is certainly fighting for the essentia,
liberty to adopt It or not. as It pleases Free
