Preventive means are the rule,

vent the medical chiefs from looking
into the smallest details in person.

Perhaps one Of the most important
developments along health lines is
the new dry measure that has hit
the army with bang. Gen Pershing,

Two elderly gentlemen, both decent ly clothed in sober black, were sitting side by side in notorious. Each was reading a morning paper. Suddenly one of the men uttered an exclama- tion of pleasure and the other peered at him over his spectacles.

This will be a surprise to his many relatives. It is to me@a glad surprise, in my case, for am the minister of a church to which he has left S20O0."
 The other man looked at the news paper and his face, too, became wreathed in smiles.

 It Is noticed that bond bills pass more easily than tax bills, and 1t Is expected that when the next tax bill comes up for consideration there will be more discussion than there has been on bond bills, which merely ere ate Indebtedness for the future to pay. No money to any great extent has yet been collected on the last war revenue tax act, but already efforts are being made to fix different times for the pay ment of taxes that fall due under that law, In order that the burden will not have to be borne all at one time.
 Congress hesitates about taking up bills for the further increase of taxa ton, although 1t Is certain that before this congress adjourns more taxes must be levied upon the American peo- pie In order to carry on the war.

Washington.-"Hun helpers" Is the term applied by number of govern ment officials to those people who in- stigate and carry on strikes or put other obstacles in the way of making all articles necessary to carry on the war. Some go so far as to class these people with the actual German sym pathizers in this country who have used their influence to prevent enlist ments and discourage the draft, and almost with those who have spent money to blow up munition plants and have furnished information to the ene- my. It has been the hope of official Washington that more real American ism would be developed among all the people and that the Hun helpers" would be only that small contingent of rabid Germans who prefer to have the foot of the kaiser on their necks rath- CT than to enjoy the glorious freedom of the United States.

Any legislator who has pet appro- priation which he wants tackled on to a bill Is always glad to be able to state that the appropriation will in some way add to the food supply of the country. In fact, many of the fearful pleas that are put forward hint that without this S500000 for IT, rigation or that $1,000.000 for seed. winning the war is impossible. sen- ator was recently urging larger ap- propriation for some irrigation project on the ground that 1t would enable the farmers in that section to increase their acreage and so produce more food. He was asked by senator from neighboring state if 1t would not he better for the farmer, instead of in- creasing his acreage, to put his strong est efforts into increasing the yield per acre, since if this were done the same result would be accomplished, the farmer would save the cost of ex- fra labor to work an increased acreage. and the government would save the half-million dollar appropriation. The senator desiring the appropriation shied at the inquiry. However. it is A problem which the United States would do well to solve.

Nearly every member of congress will say if he is asked that he is tre- mendously busy. Well. perhaps he Is. but the men in congress who are real ly busy are those who may be denomi- hated the leaders. This term used to include the committee on rules, or at least the majority members of 1t, but with the reorganization of the house under the Democrats the rules com mittee was enlarged to such an extent that it became less important. The really busy men on the house side are Chairman Kitchin of the ways and means committee and Chairman Sher- ley of the appropriations committee. These two men are working all the time and very rarely get through with all that is required of them. Minority Leader Gillett Is a fairly busy man, or at least he feels obliged to stay in the house all the time that congress is in session. But Gillett does not begin to do the amount of work that Jim Mann used to do when he was serving as minority leader.
 On the senate side the hardest work ing men are Senator Martin. chairman of the appropriations committee; Sen ator Simmons chairman of the finance committee. and Senator Shoot. who is member of both of these committees as we'll as of several other important committees, and who makes it his bus mess to look after everything that goes on in the senate.
 No doubt other senators and repre- sentatives are busy. but they are to a large extent engaged in business which relates to their own personal affairs. particularly just at this time when the congressional election Is coming on.

In connection with the symposium that was held on Senator Gallinger's eighty-first birthday there was heart felt tribute from Senator Mark Smith of Arizona. He took up a phase of Gallinger's public service which has made deep impression throughout the entire West. The Arizona senator pointed out how Gallinger had always been a friend of the West. had worked for the admission of territories as new states, and had always sought to find out what the Western people wanted and had done everything he could to help them. Speaking for the people of several Western states, Smith said "I desire to express here publicly the thanks of the people of the West for the warm. broad-minded, conSiderate manner In which he has constantly treated the struggling populations of the West"

From the discussions that are heard from time to time around Wash ington it may be assumed that a great many people are getting tired of the activities of German spies. Senator Oyerman of North Carolina, who has at all times been very anx- fous to have severe espionage laws en- acted, told the senate not long ago that he at one time asserted that there were 100000 German spies in this country. He stated that he is now prepared to say. and did assert, that there were 100000 active German spies working against the interests of the United States and in the interests of Germany. This rather startled the United States senate. and 1t has set quite lot of people thinking. The probabilities are that the activities of the spies will result in much more drastic legislation in order to secure convictions and also to make the pen alties much more severe so as to dis courage those who are trying to be- tray the United States government, or at least secure the longtime impris- onment or execution of these agents of Germany who are living in this free and enlightened country.
