will begin a campaign of education,
presenting a plain, understandable
treatment of the whole subject in a
form not only acceptable to physi-
clans, nurse. anu teacher. but to the
parents of our boys and girls, and to
the boys and girls themselves.
Thousands of untimely deaths, the
true cause of which are never sus-
pected, are ocasioned by pitiable ig-
norance of the simplest laws OF ma
ture. But ignorance is not the only
road to physical infirnity and death.
One of the ether roads, never mark
ed with a sighpost, is the road that
leads from commercial greed to the
little white casket.
In the series of articles which are
to follow on honest food will be ig-
nored and no guilty food will be
spared In the name of the things
we eat, for the beenft of the cradle,
the nursery. the kindergarten, and the
school. the shield of privilege will be
battered and food follies called out
of their snug retreat to render long
overdue account to grim jury of
awakened mother love.
This newspaper has promised me
that it's pages will be as free and un-
confined to my story about our deadly
food and its deadly but unsuspected
abuses their causes and their RENE
church societies. and organizations of
unselfish welfare workers who extend
to me the privilege of their plat
forms.
With this unfettering compact and
the fearless support of an outspoken
newspaper my readers will be taken
behind the scenes and there learn for
themselves just how the laws of nu-
triton. so sacred to animal life, are
OutraP Ped and debauched
Where the faults originate in the
idle caprice of the housewife herself,
through thoughtlessness of her own
or inheritane from some of grand
mothers superstitions, the result of
such household sins. when applied to
the diet of mice. rabits, guinea-pig
monkeys, chickens and cows will be
described.
Wheer the abuse is purely com
mercial, the lid will be taken off and
in such instances as are not born in
lust for gain at the expense of hu-
man life the natural and practical re-
form will be pointed out.
For the old abuses for which poll
tics and clever lawyers have succeed
ed in erecting fiimsy protection and
defense for outrageous and unnatural
practices there will be no mercy.
The physician who follows this
constructive reform will come into the
possession of facts which unfortu-
nately are not to be obtained in the
medical, schools of Europe or Amer
ica and he will receive ne winforma-
tion with regard to many of the causes
of malnutrition, anemia. neurasthenia,
tuberculosis, and other preventable
diseases which, in the form of need
less pain, are so frequently visited
upon the bodies of innocent women
and children.

II do wish I could stay at home
to-day, although 1 want to see Mrs.
kinsley so much thought Helen to
herself as she looked through the cur
tains of her living room down to the
rivers or slush and wretchedness in
the street below.
She had promised to go to Brook
1yn for lunch that day. She had
postponed the date from earlier in
the week because Warren had wanted
her to meet him, and, bad as the
weather was, she could not postpone
the luncheon again.
Mrs. Kinsley lived in dear little
cozy home. She had three children,
who adored her, and Helen had met
her when she had been crossing the
continent last year. Quite a friend
ship had sprung up between them,
and Mrs. Kinsley. who was younger
than Helen, delighted TO ask her ad-
vice about thousands of little trivial
household matters concerning which
Helen was twice as ignorant as she
cared to admit.
Whenever they met, whether it
was in New York for tea or out in
Brooklyn, or very occasionally at
Helen's own apartment they always
talked household affairs. There were
few women who gave themselves heart
and soul to their homes as did little
Mrs. Kinsley, to whom her husband
and her babies meant more than the
whole world put together.
Helen bundled herself into a rain
coat, pulled a little beaver hat down
over her hair, which had just been
curled, and sailed out into the rain.
The snow which had fallen had left
the sidewalks in a terrible condi-
ton. Ice strewed the curbstones and
the steps of the subway, and every one
walked singerly lest he be taken un-
awares.
II really didn't believe you would
come said Mrs. Kinsley, running
out of the house to meet her re-
gardless of the rain which was drip
ping from the roof all over her fresh
shirtwaist.
Get in out of the rain" said
Helen, closing her umbrella and Civ
ing her a playful push. Don't tell
me that l am not particularly fond
of you. coming over to this terrible
place on a day like this"
She Is Cordially Welcomed
Il don't know, are you? You post
poned the date till to-day, you know,
last Tuesday was wonderful.
Why. said Helen, holding up
her hands in mock horror, l thought
committing from Jersey was dread
full. but don't mind me, dear, I am
cross because l am wet. I'll be all
right a ssoon as I get acclimated.
Hello, Helen Junior" to the little
flaXen haired girl who stood in the
hall looking at her graVely. II
thought YOU went TO school,"
II kept her home to-day" explain
cd the mother. Come up to my room
and take off those wet things, then
we can talk. Lunch will be ready in
a minute
Helen followed Mrs. Kinsley up
stairs. where she was quickly di-
vested of her wet garments. The
room was warm and cozy, and she

was a situation unheard of, but Penn's
Grove was getting used to such situ-
ations and rather resourceful in deal
ing with them. In this case it was de-
cided to resort to conscription. The
local political leaders made up a ticket,
without asking anyone anything about
it, and posted it to be voted upon at
the primaries. The drafted candidates
were forthwith nominated. willy-nilly,
and being thus thrust into the lime
light, they had no choice but to file
their acceptances, which they did. So
the machinery of government was pre-
served intact.

CONSUMER WILL
GET PRIVILEGE
Secretary Patton Helps Farmer
in the Matter of State
Analysis of Lime

Consumers of agricultural lime are
ufacturers, importers and jobbers in
such produ is for the farm under the
new pure lime" act under a ruling
just made by Charles e. Patton, the
new secretary of agriculture. BY the
terms of the act, which became oper-
ative January /, only manufacturers
and importers could have lime an
alyzed, but the department will allow
farmers or anyone to have analysis
made upon payment of a fee to cover
expenses.
This extension of the privilege of
analysis to the consumers will give the
State authorities an excellent chance
to check up on the quality of lime sold
and to meet the purposes behind the
introduction of the lime act. For sew
eral sessions members from rural
counties struggled to secure State con-
troll of agricultural lime on the same
lines as fertilizers, seeds, cattle feeds,
paris green and linseed oil, but only
succeeded last session.
AS in the case of the pure paint law
manufacturers must file their brands
and declare the chemical composition,
taking out a State license. The Ii
cense costs SO for each brand this
year, but hereafter will be governed
by the tonnage sold.
The lime act requires all lime sold
in the State to be labelled and that for
agricultural use is to be inspected by
State agents. Any farmer may ask for
analysis, but the services of the State
laboratory will not be extended to pur-
chases made at quarries or kilns where
consumers are presumed to know what
they are getting. Neither will the eX-
empted products such as air slaled
lime, gashouse lime. kiln slacks, tan
ners' lime and the like.
The field agents will start work at
once because of the conditions in the
fertilizer trade which are causing var
ious lime and other products to be
heavily bought because of the scarcity
of potash.

Taft Says Businessmen
Support Peace Proposal

New Haven, Jan. 10.-EX-President
Taft in a formal statement yesterday
declares that representatives of the
business interests of the United States
are supporting the proposals of the
League to Enforce Peace, of which he
is president. Mr.. Taft also approves
the idea of a league of American re-
publics, which was put forth last week
at the Pan-American Congress.
The eX-President' particular refer
ence is to the referendum vote of the
Chamebr of Commerce, of the United
States, announced last Wednesday,,
which favored the establishment of
permanent world peace at the close of
the present European war. This plan
in it's essential features is identical
with that of the League to Enforce
Peace.

REPUBLICANS CLAIM CONTROL
With Prosressives and Independent
 Elected, Majority Is Claimed.

Washington. Incompleted can vases of the vote in several close congressional districts brought no changes in the unofficial election re- suits which indicate that PIT Repub- licans, PIP Democrats and six of other parties have been elected to the Sixty fifth Congress.
 Although the unofficial returns show the Republicans to be one short of a majority, they are counting on the Progressive elected in Minnesota, the Progressive-R Republican in Louisiana and the independent in Massachu- vetts to vote with them for James R. Mann for speaker.
 Prospects of Republican gain were apparent in the Thirty-second Pennsylvania district, where the can vass of all Pittsburgh precincts show ed Representative Barchfield leading Guy Campbell, his Democratic oppo- nent, by 12 votes. On the unofficial returns Campbell led Barchfield by 19 votes. Country precincts still are to be canvassed.
 Chairman Fitzgerald of the. House Appropriations Committee, said the Christmas recess might be abandoned so more business could be transacted.

 10000.

Although Amendment No. IA, the good roads amendment, increased it's lead in the official votes received from Is counties, it's vote still is consider ably less than a majority of the total vote cast for governor, and its defeat seems certain
 The official vote from TO of the 75 counties and complete but unofficial returns from two of the five others showed the amendment received IT, 635, which was about 5000 less than the total vote cast for governor.
 The vote tabulated showed that in the 67 counties from which the vote for governor has been received, 158,- 709 votes were cast for the office, by far the largest ever given in the state. It is proDable that the total vote will exceed 170,0O0.
 The vote for the acts and amend ments in 70 counties, official, and in two other complete, but unofficial, gives:

NO CHANGE IN POLICIES
Situation in House of Representative. Worries MT. WiIson-The Sub marine Situation to Be
 Considered.

Washington. President Wilson back in the White House for the first time since the campaign began two months ago, plunged into work imme- diately.
 Taking it for granted that he had been reelected, he asked no questions about electoral votes, but he is apx- ious over the political complexion of the next House of representative.
 Through an interview with Secre tary Lansing the president got i'm touch with pressing foreign problems. including the submarine, Mexican and British blockade issues; and in a taIk with Henry Morganthau, chairman of the Finance Committee of the Demo cratic Committee, he learned the lat est developments in the political sit uation.
 State Department officials believe that dangerous possibilities are pre- sented by recent developments in both the Mexican and submarine questions.
 Secretary Lansing said no imme- dfate action is in prospect. Some de velopment is expected soon at the American-M Mexican conference at At lantic City
 It was said that the presidents re- election will mean no radical changes in his policies. He feels that in gen. eral his course has been endorsed by the nation.
 However, as soon as the war is over the president will recommend revi sion of the tariff, if he feels it is jus tified by the facts to be gathered by the new Tariff Commission.
 The attitude of the government toward submarine warfare laid down in the note following the sinking of the Sussex and in previous communi- cations will be followed, and the State Department will continue to demand American rights in connection with the allied blockade and mail censor ship.
 If satisfactory agreement can be reached for the protection of the American border and American lives and property in Mexico it is believed that the UnIIed States troops in Mex ico will be withdrawn soon, although a strong force will be kept along the border.

CONFERENCE IN NEW YORK BREAKS UP-MEMBERS UN-
 ABLE TO AGREE.
MEN DEPEND ON PRESIDENT
Brotherhood Men Believe President Will Support Them-Manaoers Believe Adamson Measure
 Unconstitutional.

New York.-The interrupted con the nations railways and their 100000 brotherhood employees was not re- sumed here The railway managers announced their purpose of fighting the law to a finish in the courts, while the brotherhood chiefs who re- mained in the city left for their homes believing that they may safely rest their case with President Wilson.
 The railroad managers are certain they can prove the unconstitutionality of the Adamson law, while the broth erhood leaders are equally sure that the law will be upheld by the courts and enforced.
 The attitude of the railways was summarized in a statement issued by Elisha Lee as follows:
 We are all agreed to fight to the end. The concensus of opinion is that it is necessary to file suits questioning the constitutionality of the law in ev- cry federal district court in which the affected railroads operate"
 Warren s. Stone, president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, said:
 "The question is closed in so far as we are concerned We are not at all alarmed We know what President Wilson intended we should have. We feel confident that if the present law does not give us the eight-hour day, ne president will give us law that will.
 We cannot understand the attitude of the railroad managers. They did not file their first suits until the day after the election. believing that MT. Hughes had been elected. I believe they either are whistling to keep up their courage or they are trying to scare the public into sympathizing with them"
