Success In the house Of representa-
lives is not always followed by sue
cess In the senate. In fact, a great
deal of prominence in the house OF rep
resentatives is rather a detrlment 10
man when transferred to the upper
branch of congress, particularly II no
continues to be active and assumes
position of leadership. This has been
shown in the case of Senator Under
wood of Alabama, who was all-power-
full in the house, more powerful thah
the speaker. by reason Of his position
as chairman of the ways and means
committee. When Underwood came
TO the senate he received his first set
back By antagonizing Chairman sim
mons of the finance committee on
revenue bill. Not even his prestige as
the manager of several revenue Dills
in the house gave him any particular
power In the senate and Simmons
found II comparatively easy TO WIN
out. Underwood's second reverse
came when he tried to amend the rules
so as to limit debate. The negative
vote was not due TO the fact that Un-
derwood was comparatively new man
in the senate, but there were great
many older senators, and quite a num-
Der who voted with him. who took
great deal of satisfaction in the result

WISCONSIN HELPS
KEEP NATION FIT
BY &. q. HART,
University of Wisconsin.


The nation Is passing through food
crisis. Certain foods are scarce; many
are very high in price; others can
scarcely be had at any cost.
Most housewives are trying hard to
find new ways of keeping down the
cost of food for their families. In do
ing so they are trying many new foods
and combinations. 1t is, then, of great
Importance that at this time the known
facts concerning the nutritive values
of foods be generally understood in
order that the people, and particularly
young children and growing boys and
girls. may not suffer from improper
selection of foods.
Save but Do Not Stint.
1t is very necessary that we save
food and avoid its waste. but 1t is
probable that in many cases high
prices may lead us TO stint ourselves
on certain essential foods. This con-
dition is particularly true in reference
to milk.
In the fall of 1917, even though the
price of milk had not gone up so
much as the prices of many other
articles of food, less was used in Chi
cago, New York and other of our cities.
In New York the Jewish mothers, who
by long experience r tradition had
learned the true value of this product
for children, were the only class
which bought and used the normal
| amount of milk In spite of its increased
cost.
Shoes have also increased In price,
but we purchase them as a necessity,
grumbling though we may, but realiz-
ing that we cannot be without them.
The same is true of other things that
are classed as necessities. Why should
we not think in the same way of milk
and dairy products, SO necessary for
the growth of vigorous, healthy chill
dren2
Nan Needs Dairy Products.
No nation, so far as we know, has
ever reached or maintained high viril-
ity and leadership that has not had
in it's diet animal products of some
kind. In the far east are to be found
peoples who are practically vegeta-
rians. In no case are they as vigor-
Gus or progressive as they should be.
That they are able 20 live without
dairy products is undoubtedly to be
explained by their consumption of
the actively growing parts of plants,
especially the leaves.
Whole milk is a perfect food for
the young. Fed by itself 1t will eff
GENTLY support growth. There are but
few single articles of food that will
do this. Eggs will do it, but corn
meal or oatmeal, for example, will not.
Animal life, after thousands of years
of evolution and mPly trials and
probable failures, finally produced in
milk a food of superior quality. It,
like the egg. has been developed to
meet the needs of the growing young.
An egg contains a potential life. The
mother hen has scratched and eaten
from variety of sources, only finally
to put into the egg all the food essen
tials needed by the unfolding chick.
Similarly the dairy COW. from her
coarse and bulky feed of grain and
roughage. takes the essentials. chang
ing and improving some Of them for
the production of better or more per-
feet food than that which she has
eaten. Milk, like the egg, contains all
the food needs of the growing young.

The war department has three or
four times as many men training and
ready to fly as are needed at the pres
ent time, on account of the lack of air
planes. Congressman Shallenberger OF
Nebraska, a member of the military
committee, explained why 1t was that
there are so many men anxious for
service in the aviation corps. He said
It was tremendously attractive to
young men. The aviator's service al
the front Is vastly different from that
OF other men in the army. Infantry
and artillery are In the front of battle,
In the trench and I'm the mud. and they
have little opportunity TO sleep on ac-
tive service. The aviator and those
in charge of the machines are miles in
the rear, sometimes out of the sound
of the big guns. They have their quar-
tiers in which to sleep. II is the most
desirable service so far as personal
comfort is concerned of any in the
army"
But It is not alone the personal com
fort all that is left of romance I'm war
belongs to aviation. Everybody has
read enough Of what war means either
on land or sea under present condl-
'tions to know that the romance Is
taken out of It. The cavalry used to
furnish some thrills, and the field ar
fillery as well. Even the lnfantry at
times, by long marches, climbing
mountains and swift movements strik-
ing the enemy unawares. occasionally
did things that furnished thrill and
a story. In these days there is moth
4ng left but service in the air TO make
war picturesque or romantic. That is
enc reason why SO many young men
are attracted to it.

A rather remarkable occurrence
happened in congress a few days ago.
which has not attracted general notice.
II was a speech by Southern man.

in which he extolled and praised the
negro race. He alluded 10 the fact
that the negroes of the South had sub
scribed 100000 for Liberty bonds. de
reverted to the days of the Civil war
and said that the people then saw the
negro tested as few people have ever
been tested In the history OF the
world"
Congressman Pou then went on to
deny that there was any possibility OF
disloyalty amsng the negroes and as
serted that the German propagandists
who had gone among them would fall.
1.-The negro race as rule live In hum
Bile homes" said POu. "As l stand
here now | can see all over the South
the vine-clad cabins Of this kindly
race. They have their faults. but dis
loyalty is not among them" He said

The United States senate is some
what scary as to what is going TO
happen after the coming election. 1t
is not so much a matter of political
complexion of the senate as the per
sonnet. OF course both political par
ties would like 10 have their side win
and besin control. but above political
control is the personal equation.
Not only IS the senate threatened
with Henry Ford from Michigan, but
It is barely possible that two women
senators may appear on the 4th OF
next March. OF course there Is no
objection to Henry Ford, save that
the senate would much prefer pro-
found statesmen, lawyers who could
become great diplomats or constitu-
tiOnal opponents. The senate is COM
posed mostly of lawyers, and 1t does
not now take and never has taken
kindly TO the business man as a states
man. The senate was ready to turn
the cold shoulder TO Mark Hanna be-
cause he was the business man in pol
itics.
AS TO the ether phase of the ques-
ton, II Is quite possible that Il num-
Der of senators will welcome the wom-
en- when they come, but take the sem
ate as whole II is likely that the In
novation Of women senator's is going
TO cause some CONSERVATION.
