1t is announced that the SOY bean Is
three times richer in protein than
wheat bread or eggs. five times as rich
as corn meal flour, has ten times as
much fat as our commonly used
cereals, contains twice as much pro-
tein as porterhouse steak. and is easily
digested. Just now we are importing
soy beans from Japan and China. We
shall probably continue to import our
principal supply from that source after
the war is over, because of the lower
cost of production in Asia. unless there
shall be established a protective tariff
which Will encourage the American
farmer to produce this valuable a-li-

The Department OF Commerce cool
~ announces that during the past fisca!
year it issued 1892 daily, weekly,
monthly quarterly annual. and special
reports covering the broad scope Of
work OF the secretary's Office The
printing Of these reports cost the gov
ernment $4,000. But does Mr.. Red
field take into consideration the cost
to the government Of the clerical work
in preparing these reports, the tre-
mendous outlay for paper, the cost of
handling through the mails, and other
charges? Almost daily a bulletin
emanates from the Department of
Commerce destined for papers all over
the country, and then a reprint Of ii
shows UP in the Daily Commerce Re-
port.
THE broad scope" OF the Redfield
Office takes in everything from Demo
cratic political propaganda TO acting as
agent for foreign manufacturers who
wish TO unload in our markets, all
printed and disseminated at the tax
payers expense.
Nor is Mr.. Redfield alone in this Of
tending The government literature
prepared and distributed at public OK
pensc by the political paranoiacs Of
this administration is of a quantity
and quality to horrify the country.
Almost every chief Of bureau has his
publicity agent. Reports overlap, re-
iteratc, 90 far afed. There is no CO.
ordination. The children's bureau cc;s
out a voluminous document on foreign
pension provisions. for instance. while
another bureau issues instructions on
the care of infants. The Official Dul-
letin" gets sl,350,0o0 10 tell what the
government is doing in the war and
regales the public with articles Or

The entire Washington bureaucracy y
seems to have resolved itself into a
mutual admiration society and desery-
ing Democrats are cloyed with the
honey Of adultaion. BY proper co.
ordination and the suppression OF
politics and pftle the cost to the gov
crnmcnt of distributing practical
knowledge could he reduced 50 per cent

Meanwhile print paper grows scare
