LA TOILETTE
IN HIS DEFENSE
Defends His Course in Crit
icising the War
Policy
AND SAYS HE
WILL CONTINUE 1T
He Is Vigorously Assailed
by Members of the
Senate

Washington, Oct. s.--Senator Robert
NJ. La Toilette of Wisconsin, whose crit
zeal and obstructive attitude toward the
governments war policy has aroused a
country wide storm of disapproval, with
bitter charges of disloyalty, made dra-
matte appearance before the Senate Sat
urday, the closing day of the war ses-
sion, in defense of his course. declaring
his intention TO follow it in the future.
Senator La Toilette made three hour
speech in defense of his criticisms and
was in turn warmly attacked by several
members.
Without mentioning his recent address
before the non partisan league at st.
Paul, for investigation of which arrange
ments were completed Saturday by a
Senate subcommittee, or naming any of
his critics, Mr.. La Toilette read care
fully prepared defense of his course He
was interrupted only once, and was APP
plauded by the galleries when he closed
Senators Kellogg of Minnesota and
Fall of New Mexico Republicans, and
Robinson of Arkansas, Democrat, replied
with criticisms of Mr.. La Follettes pub
lie statements
They denounced what they termed his
unpatriotic stand, Senator Robinson as
sorting that if he held such opinions he
would seek place in the German Bun
desrat. Statements accredited TO the
Wisconsin member in his st. Paul speech
We're fatty contradicted, especially that
regarding former Secretary of State Bry
ans knowledge of ammunition being on
the Lusitania before she sailed on her
fatal voyage.
Apparently stung by the criticisms, La
Toilette made an unsuccessful effort to
get time for a response. He succeeded,
however, in stating that he wished to
make known his authority for his dec
laration regarding the Lusitania and Sat
urday night announced he would issue a
public statement Sunday. The Senate
privileges and elections investigating |
meets to-day to mvesti |
gate his st. Paul speech, including the
Lusitania incident.

THE GOOD AND THE BAD.
A Bankers Advice About Bills That
Applies to Life at Large.

The president of a bank when asked
by a young clerk how he could distin-
guish the counterfeit bills from the
good said, Get familiar with the good
bills and you will recognize the bad
bills at sight"
Here is vast volume Of general wis
dom summed up in a single sentence.
This homely advice applies not only to
the detection OF counterfeit money, but
with equal force to the detection of
counterfeit In all departments Of life.
The man accustomed TO handling
only good corn, good potatoes, good
diamonds, has no difficulty In detecting
the faulty. He does it intuitiyely.
Even without recognized thought he
fixes upon the fault The skilled egg
Gambler passes good eggs before the
light with rhythmic rapidly that is
amazing, but an imperfect egg instant
~ breaks his routine and interrupts his
process. To the trained musician, ac-
customed 10 high grade work, false
note comes like a stab of pain.
In any occupation or line of endeavor
any man fully engaged In doing the
right thing will have no difficulty in
recognizing the wrong. Right and
wrong are as far apart, as unlike, as
day and night, and he that is most &C
customed TO the light Is quickest TO
note the shadows.
There is only one way to know the
bad, the imperfect, the false, and that
is by knowing the good, the perfect,
the true.-Christian Herald.

new slang phrase is sprung and
sweeps the country. II it is apt and
pat you viii hear it on the street, from
the pulpit and in the schoolroorn. Then,
apparently without reason, its vogue
vanishes, and 1t is added to the worlds
collection of antiquities.
Perhaps one reason why a new slang
expression is short lived Is because
some investigator finds that 1t really is
not new, but merely a revival of
phrase which in its day was not slang
at all. 1t has remained for Professor
II. p. Utter in Harper's Magazine to
throw light on the expression Good

vile entertainers who first used 1t.

be a trifle crestfallen to find that it

Diphtheris Germs.

Diphtheria germs multiply so rapidly
that in the course of tweHty-four hours
there may be many millions. Mean
while they are producing diphtheria
toxin, one of the most powerful poisons
known, which is absorbed by the body
and causes the general symptoms OF
the disease.
The germs enter the body through
the mouth or nose. They may be trans
ferred by kissing. coughing or sneez-
ing. or they may be transferred to the
lips by the use OF the common drinking
cup or other utensil or by fingers soiled
by touching some object which an in
fected person has just used.

, Many delicious desserts have grape Juice
as a basis.
Grape Juice.-Pick grapes from the
stems, and wash. Place in preserving

measure the juice, and to each quart add
one third cupful of graduated sugar Boil
three minutes, and seal air-tight in bot
ties or glass jars.
Grape Juice with Egg This is very
nourishing, being both food and drink.
For each glass, beat the white of one egg
until very stiff. Pile the egg in the
bottom Of each glass, and over this pour
grape juice; pour it in one spot and let
it spread as it will. Sprinkle little
powdered sugar on the top of each glass.
This is an ideal drink for an invalid or
anemic person.

Ways to Use Grape Juice.

Now that grapes are plentiful, the pru-

Besides being a delicious beverage, it is
very nourishing and has wonderful tonic

ing few spoonfuls of grape juice over
the fruit before putting on the top crust

POTATO WEEK.
Make Special Effort to Eat Potatoes Oct
~ to II, Inclusive.

| Three purposes will be Accomplished
by nationwide potato week, in which
| everyone will make special effort TO
eat potatoes during the week from Oct.
% to p, according to the United States
department of agriculture. The first of
these purposes is to encourage the eating
of the tubers because at that time ii is
expected that potatoes will be the most
available and economical starchy food ;
the second is to save wheat during this
period; and the third is to encourage the
general use OF potatoes as a wheat sub
stitute by the American householder.
1t is proposed that consumers make a
special effort to eat potatoes prepared in
different ways, recipes for which can be
obtained from the home economies de-
partments of the various state colleges
of agriculture, or from the u. s. depart
ment of agriculture. 1t is not supposed
that this potato week will of itself have
much effect on the potato situation, but
it should call the attention of the people
to the fact that there is a plentiful sup
ply which should be used in domestic
commerce, leaving the more ! readily
transportable grains for export trade.
In shipping potatoes, about four tifths of
the weight is water in shipping wheat,
only one eighth is moisture.
The department does not claim any
originality for the idea of potato week.
The same plan has been in effect for
number of years in respect to raisins, for
which there is national raisin day,
established through extensive advertis-
ing by the raisin industry of California.
The same thing has been done in respect
to oranges by the citrus-fruit growers
The purpose of the days is to increase
the general consumption of these prod
uets by acquainting the people with their
food value.
