Then "The Times" quoted some lines
Of verse, beginning "The Monarch May
Forget His Crown" etc, and ended by
using some very large words:
"Mr. Ford's case is sole and unmatchable.
1t will not do to plead heterophemy in con-
fession and avoidance There are some
names, Impressions, recollections that can
not be heterophemized."
With this editorial in mind, "The
Hartford Courant" observed:
Evidently Mr.. Ford's interest in the gov
ernment of his country is not very deep, or
very extensive. or very sure. Indeed. it is
fairly certain that this is the significant
fact in this matter. We are not of those
who think that a man should be hanged
because Of slippery memory. But if Mr..
Ford is going to be sent to the United
States Senate, or at any rate is going to
comply with President Wilson's wish to
the extent of trying to be sent there, it is
rather important that he should have some
thing more than casual and transitory
interest in the kind Of work which he
would have to do as a member Of that
body"
That Mr.. Ford is capable business
man no one comes forward to deny. And
in this connection "The Butte Miner" is
tempted to suggest that
"the demand that Mr.. Ford should repre-
sent his state in the Senate may be a hope
full sign of change in the times, and fore
cast the possibility that the people gener-
ally are going to ask that men Of proved
BUSINESS ability shall be pressed into Sena-
torial service and replace to some extent

seats in the upper house of Congress-"

Fish a Valuable
Food
By the u. S. Department Of
+ Agriculture


Fish, which have always been reck.
oned as q valuable food, have been
shown by a series Of digestive expert
ments conducted by the department Of
agriculture to deserve q more impor-
tant place in every diet. The tests
show that fish are completely utilized
In the body. '
In the experiments Boston mackerel,
butterfish, salmon and grayfish-a va
riety not generally used in this coun-
try-were made into "fish loaves" and
served as basis Of simple mixed
diet to young men Of healthy appe-
tites.
Both the protein and the fat Of the
fish were well utilized. Following are
the percentages Of protein digested |:
Boston mackerel, 93.1 per cent; but
terfish, 91.9 per cent; grayfish. 92.8 per
cent, and salmon, 93.2 per cent. The
percentages of fat digested were
found to be: Boston mackerel, 95.2 per
cent; butterfish, 1874 per cent; gray
fish, 94.8 per cent; salmon, 93.7 per
cent.
In addition to the fish loaf the diet
included potatoes, crackers, fruit,
sugar and tea or coffee. On the aver
age the subjects each day ate 440
grams of Boston mackerel, All grams
of butterf1sh, 440 grams of grayfish, or
355 grams of salmon, indicating that
in every case the fish was eaten with
relish.
