Work Has Not Only Been Done Thor-

Been Done Also With Utmost
Dispatch-Left No Doubt.

WaShington.-IDe WORK u MO
congressional session adjourned WINS
praised by President Wilson tn
statement saying:
THE needs of the army and NE
navy have been met in way that as
sures the effectiveness OF American
arms. and the war-making branch OF
the government has been abundanny
equipped with the powers that were
necessary to make the action OF the
nation effective.
1.-The Sixty-fifth Congress, now ad-
journing," the president added. de
serves the gratitude and appreciation
of a people whose will and purpose
believe it has faithfully expressed.
One cannot examine the record OF It's
action without being impressed by It's
completeness, its courage and its TALL
comprehension of great task.
q believe that it has also in equal
degree and as far as possible IN the
fact of war safeguarded the rights OF
the people and kept in mind the con
sideratioI of social justice SO often
obscured in the hasty readjustwents
OF such crisis.
1T seems to me that the work OF
this remarkable session has not only
been done thoroughly, but that 1t has
also been done with the utmost dis
patch possible in the circumstances
or consistent with full consideration
of the exceedingly critical matters
dealt with. Best of all, it has left NO
doubt as to the spirit and determiaa-
ton of the country, but has affirmed
them as Loyalty and as emphatieally
as our fine soldiers will affirm them
on the firing line"

You are all familiar with the talk

many of you women realize the neces-

tofore you have never given thought to
the nutritive value of food. II this is
