Joseph E. Davies

Joseph Davies, though not elected
United States Senator, is to be con-
graduated on the splendid run which
he made last Tuesday. With such
a record as he had for ability, for
loyalty and with the assurance that
he would be able to give the presi-
dent the assistance that no other
candidate for U. S. Senator could,
there was cause for hopes he would
be elected, but instead, the republi-
cans, the old stalwart regime, hooked
up with LaFollette and Philip !;
they framed roorback from the
speech of Vice-President Marshall,
which was given in Madison favor
ing candidate Davies, knowing full
we'll that a denial could not be sue
sessfully made before election. At
the same time these political work
ers were asking the votes OF demo-
Gratis to help out their friends run
ming for other Offices. In the face
of all this, Mr.. Davies was only
beaten in state, where the repub-
lican majorities run from $4,000 to
$4,000, by small plurality of TO-
900. Mr.. Davies was second in
Marathon county, and Lenroot
third. Mr.. Davies defeat is great
ly to be regretted.

When a Child "Fails."

When a child fails in school, must
1t always be the fault of the child? May
1t not be the faults of his parents? Or
of the school which he attends? Inves-
legations have shown that there Is a
host of children whose mental slug
gishness is due to physical causes, DR..
M. P. E. Groszmann writes in HUI
manitarian. Even conservative esti-
mates place the percentage of children
suffering from some physical ailment
at rs; this means about 18,000,O00 chill
dren Of school age in this country. Al
most all Of these ailments are remov-
able, even preventable. They range
from decayed and maladjusted teeth
with. their manifold sad effects upon
the efficiency and the temper of the
growing child to such serious defects
as nervous disorders, tuberculosis,
blindress, etc.

An Isolated Island.

The last and most isolated Of the
Polynesisns is Easter island. IT lies
1000 miles westward of the coast of
Chile, Its nearest neighbor being Pit
cairn island, 1,4o0 miles further west.
1t is small, only As square miles in
area. and volcanic, the surface being
formed OF lava of comparatively re-
cent eruption. Hence the strange lack
OF vegetation so curiously at var1-
sree with a tropical climate. Grass
grows on 1t, however, and ii is for that
reason largely given up 10 the raising
OF she, } and cattle.
Easter island was discovered nearly
two hundred years ago by the Dutch
Admiral Roggeveen. who cast anchor
there on an Easter Sunday, whence Il
derived its name. He found il more
largely populated than 1t Is now. But
he and his crew must have seen and
marveled at its bald rock-sculpture, its
terraces and walls, its picture writ
ings. Many of these, indeed, rival the
world-famous relics OF Mexico and
Peru, while they are strangely akin to
them in cencspticn and design.

quickly adopted. In many cases the
advancing French troops brought the
first aid material and sometimes sue
ceeded in saving the trees. Where the
tree was absolutely cut down-as hun
dreds were-there was, of course, no
relief measure to employ. Members
of the q. S. Food Administration
brought this picture to America. Ear
ly in the war the German govern
ment introduced policy of strict
food conservation at home and has
endeavored to curtail in every posi-
Bile manner the French and English
supply. q boat warfare and destruc-
ton Of farming property are parts Of
the same campaign.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration, endeavoring to adj
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con-
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatlesS day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food conserva.
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob
lem, both in overseas shipping
and in Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised Of each
change in the developing situa-
ton that they may know def
nitely the part their food sac
riticeS play in the world war.

WOMEN ASK FOR
RATIONING PLAN
American Women Volunteer to
Buy Fixed Amounts of Meat,
Bread Flour, Sugar
and Butter.
PLAN STARTED In NEW YORK.
Idea Supplements U. S. Food Admlnis-
tration's New Home Gard Now
in 100000 Homes.

The women of America, who are
anxious to do their great part in the
winning of the war, are now, as a
whole, familiar with the most impor
tant aspects of food conservation. The
Home Gard, both In its original form
and in the revised edition for 1918,
Which provides for two wheatlesS days,
one meatlesS day a week, In addition
10 wheatless meal every day, has been
placed by the Food Administration aft
er a vigorous campaign in 100000
American homes. An intelligent and
conscientious observance of the Home
Cards requirements is all the Food
Administration asks of the housewives
of the country.
The Food Administration has had q
great many requests, however, particu-
larry from the homes of the welI-to-do,
that 1t should issue worked out plan
for voluntary system of rationing.
This desire for voluntary ration
springs from two causes--flrst, be-
cause 1t is far simpler for the house

crete working plan by which to pro-
coed, and, second, because the loyal
women OF America desire, unseIfishiy,
to put themselves on the same basis
as the women of the Allied countries.
The ration proposed by the Food Ad-
nInistration is almost the same az
that adopted in England for voluntary

the stirring pledge, AIN HONOR
BOUND WE ADOPT THE NATION
AL SCALE OF VOLUNTARY RA-
TlONS."
The ration recommended by the
Food Administration, and adopted first
in New York city, whence the idea has
spread through the entire country, is
the following:
Weekly
Allowance
Per Person.
Meat-Beef (fresh, sailed, tin
ned and hashed) mutton,
lamb and veal tmutton by
preference) ............... PA lbs.
Butter .................... II Id.
Cooking Fats margarine, lard,
lard substitutes, vegetable
oils) Observation-Disclosures. Il Id.
Wheat Flour (for use in cook
ing gravieS, etc, where
corn starch, cracker dust
or bread crumbs cannot be
substituted) ............ II Id.
Victory Bread Containing at
least 20 per cent. of a sub
stitute for wheat flour) -. 1% lbs.
Sugar (ncluding all sugar
used on the table and in
cooking and all sweatmeats
and candies, but not that
used for canning and pre-
SefVlng) NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. Il 10.
The items listed above are the only
ones which are definitely limited. In
the case of milk and cream, as much
may be used as necessary, and chill
dren, of course, must have their full
allowance of whole milk. Fish and
poultry, any cereal other than wheat,
vegetables and fruits and cheese may
be used as freely as is desired.
The above ration is in no wise In
tended to supplant the Home Card,
but rather to supplement it. 1t has
been published with the idea that 1t
will be very real aid to the Ameri-
can woman in her splendid effort to
carry out the great food conservation
program.

CITY ELECTION

The city election, held last Tuesday
was an exciting one, more SO than
any one held here in recent years.
The special election for assemblyrnan
held in the spring showed an encrm-
Gus gain in the socialist vote and the
leaders of that party made eXtrav-
agant statements OF carrying the city
for their ticket and the county for
Berger for q. S. senator. This and
the contest between the candidates for
u. S. senator of the democratic ana
republican parties made the political
pot boil with great intensity. The day
was an ideal one for an election and
brought out a large vote. The city
election resulted in John l.. Sell, the
democratic candidate, being elected by
a plurality of 293. The vote for mayor
was as follows:

Red Cross Workers
Find Deadly Germs

Springfield, H.. Jan. 26.-Microscopic
organisms discovered on a scrap OF
German newspaper. found by Red
Cross workers here on absorbent cot
ton, were declared to be deadly poison
by Walter Balm, pathologist, who COM
pleted an examination today. The ex-
act nature Of the germ was not deter
mined but DR.. Balm said it was OF the
spore-forming type which includes
tetanus and anthrax. Guinea pigs In
noculated die in a few hours.
A statement issued at the hospital
contained the following conclusions:
within the body Of a susceptible an
imal the organism produced a virulent
poison which quickly caused death.
Such an organism, concentrating a
wound in human, would give rise to
severe infection if not septicemia and
DEATH"
The original source of such organism
was said to be from the soil, leading
to the possibility that the contamina-
ton might have been unintentional.
Federal authorities have interested
themselves in the case which was in
vestigated by local newspaper.
