Senator Archibald Macdonald was

The drys eNcoriate him for what they consider a breach of good faith with the moral forces of the district. And there VOL have it. So far as can he learned Senator Macdonald himself is entire ly sat sfied with his action in voting against the adoption of the prohibi- tion amendment to the support of which he declined, under pressure from many sources to commit himself prior to his election.

PURE MILK NECESSARY

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The need
for public action to place clean milk
within the reach of every family
having little children is emphasized
in a report on the New Orleans milk
situation, issued by the Children S
Bureau, Department of Labor. 1t
is shown that 20 per cent of the
children under years of age who
were not breast fed were getting
no fresh milk at all to drink Only
20 of the AS children from . to
: years old included in the study
were drinking as much as three
cups of fresh milk a day. Only IS
per cent Of the babies under years
old, who are not nursed by their
mothers, have milk to drink, leav-
ing more than one-third of these
little children without fresh milk.
The situation, says the report,
gives cause for grave concern be-
cause the children are not only be
ing deprived of the best and most
nourishing food for normal develop
ment, but they are being given in
furious substitutes. OF 33S child
rem years old or younger who are
not breast fed and are getting no
fresh milk TO drink, PAS are given
tea or coffee in place of it,
Although figures regarding in
comes were not secured. the families
are of about the same economic sta
tus as those included in the recent
Washington study. where more than
three-fourths of the families were
living on $50 a week or less.

In a statement sent to Cover

al Reserve Bank, Secretary of the
Treasury Carter Glass has eXplod-
cd the rumor that the saving of
more than fifteen billion dollars as
the result of the armistice had re-
moved the necessity for another
Liberty Loan.
Secretary Glass statement fol-
lows:
"A rumor has reached the Treas
ury that a mistake has been made
by the authorities, that from $15,-
600, 100000 to 100000 900
has been returned to the Treasury
as a result of the armistice and
that therefore another Liberty
Loan is unnecessary. The rumor is
absolutely unfounded. | suppose it
has its origin in a failure to I'M
derstand the discussion of the pro-
posed repeal by Congress of $15,-
OO0,O00,000 of appropriations and
authorizations. This does not mean
a return of money to the Treasury
but cancellation of authority
