ROCKING THE BOAT.

Colonel Bryan still persists in his endeavors to make Prohibition the par amount issue in the fall campaigns. To this end he is moving heaven and earth to hitch his pet policy to the coat tails of every Democratic candi- date in the country All of which is causing no end of embarrassment to many of his fellow Democrats. not even excepting the President himself
 It is no secret that President Wilson and his associates are kecnly con Cerncd over the possibility of losing control of congress. and to forestall this it is imperative that the party take on no excess baggage at this particular time and that they all pull together Moreover. the President is relying upon old Sam Gompers and his crowd 10 carry the elections for the administration slate. and these fellows are openly opposed to the ratification of the prohibition amend m.uJ SO that. with Gompers pulling one way and Bryan the other. the nr"-ii"n' i- hard put to the task of steering the boat and getting up very much naad in any given direction.

THE "MINEs-CoNTRoL" BILL

The "mines-cOntrol" bill was so re- written in the senate's committee that it emerged quite shOrn of it's guse as a mines-control bill becoming sim ply on authorization to the govern ment to engage in trading in minerals and metals. with the right to take over and operate any idle mines of the substances specified in the act. As drafted by Senator Henderson. this was great improvement over the House bill. which contained provisions that the senate would never have passed, as appeared from it's debate. The worst feature of Senator Hen derson's bill was the 75 per cent. clause.
 Unfortunately. the senate let that stand. no one apparently noticing it;

 It is to be assumed that President Wilson's problems in this respect are of q similar order. The swivel-chair officers were an irremediable evil in the early days of the war. But by and by they will all have chance to go to the front and there, under fire, the real test will come.

WHERE GREAT EMPEROR DIED
Longwood, the Prison House of Napo-
leon, Is Maintained Much as
He Knew 1t.

Longwood Old House, the prison
home of Napoleon, is about four miles
from jamestown, the capital of st.
Helena. Dismally IN; ,ttractive, the
place is in about the same condition
that 1t was in the emperor's time. A
low rambling one-storied farmhouse,
once the dwelling Of a peasant farmer
of the island, 1t Is hard to connect the
place with the one-time III: sr of the
Tuileries and Versailles. But Long
wood has an = - J. lance and mys-
terry of its o Tor i, was the death
place of Napoleon.
The house is badly li"hted and Ill
ventilated. The rooms re tiny and
musty. The so-called billiard room
could never have held even the small
est table and the players at the same
time. The reception room into which
the emperor was moved when dying, is
the ~pleasantest spot in the place, for
1t boasts of more than one window. 1t
was In the space between the two win
dows that the death bed was placed.
Here today is a bust Of the emperor.
Visitors to Longwood sign the ancient
visitors book in this reception room,
while the aged guide tells the story of
Napoleon's last days.
Above the first floor are the garnet
rooms, little more than cubby holes,
where former statesmen and marshals
of France lived during their exile with
their master. Outside is the tiny gar
den and the emperor's favorite arbor.
Here is the ishpool built by his own
hands. At the foot of the plateau is
Geranium valley, and the emperor's
tomb. 1t was by Napoleon's own re-
quest that he was buried here. The
famous willow tree of fiction and his
tory still shadows the emperor's tomb.
In 1853 Queen Victoria presented
Longwood to Napoleon III, who re-
stored the old place to the condition
In which the great emperor knew it.

NEED NOT SEEK POPULARITY
"Expert" May Achieve Highest Meas
ure Of Success, but Naturally He
Will Never Be Loved.

There is not much mystery, or even
any at all, in the dislike of experts
that is felt and expressed by not a few.
The expert man is a man who goes to
other men and tells them that the
way in which they are doing their work
is not the best way-that it is a bad,
costly, or even stupid way-and that If
they will only listen to him and follow
his advice their work will be improved
and their efficiency increased.
None Of us takes pleasure in hear
ing talk of that sort, and the displeas-
ure is greater in exact proportion with
length Of the hearers training and e3-
perience In conducting his business,
trade, or art. All that the expert says
carries the implication of adverse criti-
cism directed against the recipient Of
his suggestions, and usually it is criti-
cism Of that recipients father and
grandfather. OF course that is re-
sented, and the resentment is bitterest
when the expert goes ahead and gives
undeniable proof that his new way

RECORD MADE BY FOOD
ADMINISTRATION CAFETERIA

Six thousand meals, using only so
pounds of sugar for all purposes, is
the record established by the cafeteria
in the food administration building in
Washington. This is at the rate of L
pound to 12O meals, and is in glowing
contrast with what the food admins
tration is asking the American house
wife to do to save sugar-to use 2
pounds per person or l pound for as
meals. 20
The food administrations cafeteria
feeds an average of 600 persons per
day for the noon meal, and the amount
mentioned covers the use of sugar for
all purposes, including tea, coffee,des-
serts, and in cooking. Most of the des-
serts contain such substitutes as
honey, maple or other sirups, and the
use of sugar is confined almost ex-
clusively to tea and coffee for those
who request it.
The cafeteria management was
convinced that it could make a record
on sugar saving from the fact that it
was so successful in wheat saving.
No wheat in any form is served, not
even in cooking. Bread is made of
cornmeal. potato, rice, barley, and
corn flours. This has been found to
work exceptionally well from the
standpoint of palatability as we'll as
of nutrition.
Beef is served only nee a week,
and then in some form which presents
the opportunity Of stretching the
quantity-stews, croquettes, cassero-
les, and souffles. Fish is served
twice a week as a main dish, but is
frequently used in salads.
The table and kitchen refuse
amounts to only about 4 ounces per
person per day, including fruit and
vegetable Feelings, plate scrapings,
etc. Even this is not wasted. The
Feelings from potatoes "a barrel of
potatoes are used daily are disposed
of for chicken feed. Apple Feelings
are used for making a juice which is
the foundation for jellies. Other re-
fuse is turned over to the garbage
collectors and finds it's way into the
city reduction plant, which is turning
out large quantities of greases and
tankage, from which munitions and
fertilizers are made.
The cafeteria is self-supporting
but not operated for a profit. 1t is
maintained for food administration
employees, who are able to get a var
iety Of appetizing and substantial
foods at moderate cost. The use of
substitutes has enabled the cafeteria
management to serve it's e at
low prices, in spite of the widespread
belief that substitutes are more ex-
pensive.

PecuIiarities Of Electric Ray.

The electric ray is a species Of fish
found on the Pacific coast. 1t is known
from central California southwark to
Santa Barbara channel and is very
common in Monterey bay. This fish is
provided with an electric organ COM
posed of hexagonal cells, reaching from
the skin of the upper surface to that
of the lower, and situated at each side
of the head and gill chambers. The
electricity discharged from this ray
has the properties Of other electricity,
such as rendering an iron bar mag
netic, decomposing chemicals and pro-
ducing a spark, says the American
Angler. Stories vary as to the vol
ume of the discharge, but even a small
ray is capable of inflicting considerable
pain. After a few discharges the fish
becomes exhausted and must rest be-
fore its electric organs are again func-
tional.

MILK FOOD

Eggs and milk are absolutely es-
sential elements Of diet, without
which mankind would be subject to
blindness pellagra, anemia and various
other forms of ills, declares DR.. E. V.
McCollum, professor of hygiene and
nutrition in Johns Hopkins university,
who is in Minneapolis in behalf of the
campaign of the United States food
administration for the adoption of
more wholesome dieting.
"a perfect diet consists of proteins,
carbohydrates, fats, minerals and two
other unknown dietary essentials"
DR.. McCollum declared in an address
yesterday before 300 persons at the
demonstration kitchen, now being con-
Quoted by the women's committee of
the council of national defense at ala
Second av S.
"Just what these two mysterious
elements of diet are no one can say.
That they are necessary is proved by
experiment. Without them, blindness,
pellagra, anemia and kindred diseases
result. They abound in eggs, dairy
products and leafy vegetables.
"Milk is the greatest of all foods.
1t is cheap at any price. The dairy
products have made us what we are
the nation of greatest initiative in the
world. AS new foods come into the
trade markets we are likely to neglect
dairy foods. A corresponding de.
crease in efficiency and health, which
go hand in hand, will result. Toe
much emphasis has been placed upor
ventilation and fresh air and moi
enough upon what to eat"
DR.. McCollum urged the patronage
of the dairy industry, not only as
patriotic duty in helping conserve the
transportable products for army USE
abroad, but as an economic move tx
preserve a waning industry.

the most forceful and effective bits of

ing Co. of New Jersey.

Conserve Surplus Food.

Increased planting Of vegetables this
year almost certainly will mean an I'M
precedented yield Of all kinds of fresh
vegetables.
This will mean plentiful supplies for
summer tables and a large surplus.
This surplus, to be useful to Amer
lea, must be conserved.
1t must be canned, dried, brined or
stored in the homes of America.
Home-conserved food means that the
home will be more nearly self-sustain-
ing and that the burden on %transporta-
ton will be lightened.
Women who have never canned
should now learn how; women who
know how should prepare to do more.

Package Goods Expensive.

That package goods are more expen-
sive than goods bought in bulk Is
shown in a chart Of comparative food
values recently published. The chart
shows that canned peaches cost three
times as much Is dried peaches, and
the food value in calories is three
times greater in the dried than in the
canned variety. Canned pork and
beans cost about twice as much per
unit of food value as dried beans. The
canned goods are ready for immediate
use and the dried require preparation,
but to persons interested in reducing
the cost of living these facts are worth
taking into consideration.
