SENATOR WHITLEY

Hon. Xenophon P. Whitley, Chair
man of the Board Of Election Com
missioners of st. Louis has been APP
pointed United States Senator from
Missouri to succeed the late William
j. Stone.
Whitley is a native Missourian,
having been born on farm in Au-
drain county. After working his
way through college he taught school
and studied law. His success in the
practice of his profession has been
phenomenal. A country boy, unused
to the ways of the city, without mon
ey and lacking influential friends, he
entered into competition with the
keenest and shrewdest lawyers of the
land, and by sheer force of ability
and constant application to his work,
he stands today in the very front
ranks with the greatest lawyers in st.
Louis.
His first public Office was that of
Chairman of the Board of Election
Commissioners, to which place he was
appointed by Governor Gardner early
in the administration. This is a po-
sition of great Importance and one
that is extremely difficult to fill sat
isfactorily. Be it said to his credit
that not one word of criticism has
been uttered against his conduct of
the office.
In calling him to the Senatorship,
Gov. Gardner has honored one of Mis-
souri's brilliant sons, and in paying
tribute to a self made man, the Gov
ernor is holding a beacon light in the
pathway of many another poor but
ambitious boy, who may be strug-
Cling under load of difficulties that
seem almost insurmountable.
In announcing Senator Wilfley's
appointment, the Governor said: an
making the appointment, | have not
only selected a 100 per cent American,
but | have sought to impress upon
the boys Of our land that the door of
opportunity is still ajar for each one
of them, no matter how humble he
may be. Mr.. Whitley is loyal
American thoroughly devoted to his
country, and will, as a member of the
Snate, ably and Fundamentally up
hold the administration in the prose-
cution of the war and truly reflect
the sentiment, loyalty and ambition
of Missouri. | assure the people that
he will make a record in that au-
gust body that will be an inspiration
to every lover of the cause of liberty
and stir the heart of every patriotic
Missourian with pride"
Senator Whitley is a broad-guaged,
clear thinking, home loving, Chris
tian gentleman, whose patriotic zeal
is thoroughly attuned to the militant
and aggressive spirit that has made
Missouri leader in every patriotic
undertaking. We have great faith
in his ability and integrity and pre-
dict that his record of achievement in
the Senate of the United States will
equal his remarkable accomplishments
in private life.

ROMANCE GONE
Efficiency Kills Sentiment as
Machine Makes Socks
in Is Minutes.
BY RUTH DUNBAR.

"How snowy whiteyour fingers look
against the scarlet wool |" was the
favorite speech Of grandfather when
he was paying suit to grandmother,
who, If history is correct, never al
lowed little things like love and court
ship to distract her mind one minute
from her knitting.
The modern young man is robbed Of
any opportunity to make these pretty
speeches, for the wool Is no longer
scarlet but khaki. Worse yet, the
maiden sits before a cold, steel ma
chine and grinds off socks in as many
minutes as ii takes hours to knit them.
This is what efficiency does to ro-
nance.
In the various Red Cross workrooms
of the New York County Chapter there
are nearly seventy.five sock machines.
Eight of these are in the model work
room at 20 East Thirty-eighth street and
others that have been ordered are held
up by traffic conditions. Here instruc-
tors teach the use Of the machine to
Red Cross workers.
A complete pair Of socks can be
made on the machine in rs minutes.
The machine looks like cross between
fishing tackle and pile driver. The
worker threads 1t through the arm and
carrier on to the threader. The body
of the machine is circle of needles
bent at the ends like crochet hooks.
Sweaters also are made on the sock
machine, the strips sewed together and
the ribbing at top and bottom knitted
on by hand.
Besides the machines in the Red
Cross workrooms there are many
owned by private individuals or groups
who work at home and donate the re-
suits to the Red Cross. In a family
hotel, for instance, four or five women
can club together and buy a machine.

WHAT HOME SERVICE
HAS DONE FOR ME"

My husband enlisted over year
ago. Shortly after he went away our
twelve-year-old boy had the measles.
After his recovery his school teacher
complained about his conduct At
home he was nervous and irritable.
When ]. called at the Red Cross to find
out how l could secure an increase in
allowance because of our newly born
babe told them of my" trouble with
Harry. On their advice l took him to
an oculist, who said glasses were need
ed Immediately because of the weak
ened condition of the eyes following
measles. He no longer causes trouble
at home or at school.

At the frst onslaught Of the Huns,
before the French were able to with
stand their invasion, the Kaiser Sc
cured a goodly section Of France.
With the captured cities and villages
ne acquired many thousands Of French
men.
True to all the rules Of Teutonic
efficiency, the noble German worked
and starved these French close to the
point Of death, then saw to 1t that an
impressive number Of them "caught"
tuberculosis and finally sent these poor
wrecks back to burden France.
1t has taken the Kaiser from two to
three years to suck the healthy blood
from the veins of these sturdy rural
French, but now he is sending them
back at the rate of about 1000 day.
The Kaiser never announces these

EAT COTTAGE CHEESE
INSTEAD OF MEAT

Cottage cheese should be eaten in
generous quantities, not as a relish,
but as a food. 1t is a satisfactory
substitute, pound for pound, for lean
meat and for eggs, If the iron that it
lacks is provided elsewhere in the
meal in the form of salad, pot greens,
vegetables, whole cereal breads, or
breakfast foods. The consumer who
uses cottage cheese instead OF meat
performs war service. In any meal
in which cottage cheese is used, there
fore, it should take the place OF the
more expensive meat or eggs. Cir-
cular 100, Office Of the Secretary,
United States Department OF Agrlcul,,
ture, Washington, D. g.. offers helpful
suggestions on ways OF serving cot
tage cheese.

MAYOR KIEL'S CAMOUFLAGE

1t costs the city of St. Louis $685.
600 every year to have the proceed
ings of the Board of Aldermen print
ed in the German language. Some
time ago The Republic and other pa
triotic newspapers of that city start
ed campaign to prevent this fragrant
waste of public funds, and incidental
ly, to encourage the study of the En-
glish language. Mayor Kiels atti-
tude toward this has been-to view it
charitably-very lukewarm, if not at
times antagonisticn The people of
Missouri are watching the outcome
Of this fight with unusual interest,
since Mayor Kiel is being groomed as
the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. All these little things are be-
ing checked up against you, Henry,
and it is doubtful if you will find loyal
Missourians taking kindly to your
brand of political camouflage. The
people are lot wiser than you give
them credit.

defeat the Kaiser's aim to I'll France

workers are at the receiving station at

those who are only starving or have

GOVERNOR CHOOSES
ASSISTANTS WISELY

A. L. Harry of Bloomfield, recently
appointed Insurance Commissioner,
has assumed the duties of that office.
In appointing men like Col. Harry
as heads of important departments,
Gov. Gardner is demonstrating his
ability to bring to his aid in the re-
organization Of the States business
affairs men of ripe experience in pri-
vate life. Col. Harty has been I'M
usually successful in everything he
has undertaken, and will be a valu-
able addition to the Governors Off
cial family.

NURSES PRETTY
Red Cross Hospital Uniform
Most Becoming in His
tory Of World.

In a recent news letter from the
front the war correspondent Of the
Philadelphia North American helps to
explain the song, I'm in Love With a
Beautiful Nurse"
There are 62 Red Cross nurses at
this place." says the dispatch. "They
are cheerful, obedient, brave and COM
petent. And those who weren't pretty
to begin with became so the moment
they donned the uniform that is the
most becoming In all the long history
of costumes devised for the mystitica-
ton and beguiling of men.

Philippines, and I've seen them in Chi

POULTRY KEEPERS
SHOULD HOLD ON

According to Edward Brown, F. L..
S., the noted English poultry author
ity, the war will give a great impetus
to the poultry industry. During his
recent visit to Missouri he expressed
the firm conviction that the future
holds great possibilities for the poul-
try keepers of the central west. In
Belgium, Germany, Russia, Northern
Italy, Holland and Denmark poultry
has almost entirely disappeared as a
result of war conditions. When peace
is declared the hen will be one of the
most important animals in resoring
the devastated countries, and there is
certain to be great demand for
poultry and eggs. Missouri and
neighboring states are in the area
most favorable for poultry production
under present conditions and they
must not neglect their opportunity.
"Hold on; profits will come later;
if you can extend, do so;" is the mes
sage Mr.. Brown wishes impressed up
on Missouri poultrymen. Farmers
should pay special attention to the
poultry industry as means of turn
ing waste products into valuable food.
Missouri has made great strides in
poultry development during the last
fifteen years but the accomplishment
is small compared to the opportunity.
This State should produce enough
poultry to feed both Great Britain
and France without in any way inter-
fcring with any other animal or crop.
Mr.. Brown paid high tribute to the
State Agricultural Colleges and urged
poultry keepers to make full use of
the valuable aid offered through the
experiment stations and the agricul-
tural extension services.

Proper Food for Weak Stomachs

The proper food for one man may
be all wrong for another. Everyone
should adopt a diet suited TO his age
and occupation. Those who have weak
stomachs need to be especially care
full and should eat slowly and rnasti-
cate their food thoroughly. 1t is also
important that they keep their bow
els regular. When they become con-
stipated or when they feel dull and
stupid after eating, they should take
Chamberlain's Tablets to strengthen
the stomach and move the bowels.
They are easy to take and pleasant in
effect. Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)
