Senator Gallinger, leader of the re-
publican minority, insists that the dem
socratic shipping bill is a dangerous
step towards socialism. 1t is a strange
fact that every law that serves and
benefits the people is socialistic in the
eyes of special interests. That was the
final gasp of privilege against the
new financial legislation, against the
income tax, against the rural credits
bill. child labor inhibition, taking the
tariff out of politics, against the whole
progressive program Of democratic
legislation.

milk from herds not tuberculin test
| ed In England it was found that
most cases of scrofula in children
were due to the bovine type of tu-
bercle bacillus. Therefore it is pos
slble that one may get consumption
from the butter
Oleomargarine is as nourishing and
wholesome as butter. Also it is as
likely to carry disease. One investi-
gator in Germany found tubercIe
DacllH in nine out of twenty samples
or oleomargarine examined; another
In Liverpool found the bacilli in only
one out of twenty samples. Milk
is used in the manufacture of oleo-
margarine
That butter is less frequently under
suspicion than milk as a carrier of
disease germs is due to the fact that
most or the germs, good or bad, are
washed out of the butter by the but
termilk. More sad news for butter
milk fiends; But, on the happy other
hand, the Tactic acid bacilIi and other
vigorous germs in the buttermiIk
tend to kill off disease germs or
rather to render the field unfavorabIe
to their vitality.
AT this time of year we hate to

general public should welcome the
most rigid inspection of all places
where food is served, for that is the

Prominent men and their wives in
many sections of the country are being
placed on opposite sides Of the political
fence as a result of the federal woman

sentative Kent of California, national
chairman of the Wilson Non-Partisan
League. and Mrs. Kent, an active

New Jersey. who now is supporting
President Wilson and who lunched at
the White House Thursday along with
some other progressives. Mrs Hopkins
is chairman of the New Jersey branch
of the Congressional Union for Woman

WILLS OF WASHINGTONS
MADE TOLOOK LIKE NEW
William Berwick, Library Of Con-
gress Expert, Does Work Of
Restoration.

William Berwick. an expert in the
old manuscripts division of the Library
of Congress. has just completed the
work of restoring to a close semblance
to their original condition the Wills of
George and Martha Washington, which
are kept in the old Fairfax county, Va,
courthouse at Fairfax. 1t is stated
the work is so excellent as to give
these historical documents almost the
appearance of freshly written manu-
scripts.
The will Of George Washington was
in very bad condition, it is stated, by
reason of long years of exposure and
innumerable landings since it was
placed on file In the archives of Fair
fax county. 1t is stated the work OF
restoration has been SO perfectly done
that the document now Is in almost
as good condition as when it was orig
ina1ly drafted. though the distinctive
been perfectly preserved in the re-
stored will.
The two Wills now are inclosed in a
sealed case which is kept in a fire.
proof vault in the office Of the clerk
of Fairfax county. Though formerly
kept in vault in the east side of the
courthouse, the wills have been trans
ferred to safer vault on the west side
of the building.
Special care was taken in the con-
struction of the glass covered case in
closing the documents. The case Is
hermetically sealed = exclude the air.
It is of heavy metal, with an extra
heavy glass top. The case was in
stalled and sealed by an expert sent
to Fairfax by the company making 1t
to see that every care was taken in
preserving the two documents and safe
guarding them from injury either at
the hands of vandals or by the action
of the air.
