SENSIBLE DIET

Once upon a time--this is a
true story-there was a man
who lived to eat. He was A
gourmand, a glutton, a greedy
and ravenous devourer of rich
and highly seasoned foods.
In time his stomach rebelled.
Its functions were disturbed
and digestion became difficult
and painful. He developed
into a typical dyspeptic.
Finally, through the advice of
his physician, he went to
CHILDS and ate to live. He
became a gourmet, a connois.
seur of pure and wholesome
food.
There was an immediate i'm.
provement in his health, a
steady return to vim and vigor.
Today he doesn't know he
has a stomach, so perfect is
his digestion.
"All due to the sensible diet
at CHILDS," was the wise
conclusion Of his physician.
Fruits. cereals. vegetable,
milk, eggs, and wholesom.
meat dishes are specialize,

Quote Wilson's Appeal.

Senators who are opposing the Presi-
dent on the League of Nations are doing
SO In the conviction that they are doing
their duty to their constituents To OBJ
tain a basis OF estimate as to the ma
tional sentiment Senators point out the
following passages OF President Will
sons direct appeal to the American
voter In the last election:
'If you have approved OF my leader
ship and wish me to continue to be your
unembarraSsed spokesman in affairs al
home and abroad I earnestly beg that
: you will express yourselves unmistak-
ably to that effect by returning a Demo
cratic majority TO both the Senate and
the House of Representatives.
THE return of a Republican majority
TO either house OF Congress would more
over be interpretative on the other side
Of the water as reputation OF my lead
srship.'
At the time OF this appeal President
Wilson was admittedly far more conf
dent OF practically unanimous popular
(. support than he may now be in his tele
gram to Mr.. Burton. But the popular
vote when counted showed the amazinl
and in one sense overwhelming plurality
OF l.347.569 votes cast against the Presi
cents policies.

Basis of Reckoning.

Opponents OF the new international
creed claim that all reckoning must be
based on this figure OF l.347.569 Sup
porters Of the President in some cases
accept this. The question therefore by
common agreement is. What has hap
pened since November to change this
1,347,569 figure one way or the other?'
Opponents OF the league claim that
this Overwhelming figure does not begin
TO represent the preponderance Of Amer
lean sentiment against internationalism
as q substitute for American independ-
ence of action and nationalism They
say that the figure l,347,56s has been
doubled or even more by developments
OF the last few weeks.
They point out that this vote was cast
At a time when the League OF Nations
benefits were being advertised broadcast
while mona aGthe sacrifices TO natiopal
sovereignty involved were mentioned.
Furthermore 1t is contended that this
nation had just emerged victor in the
greatest war in history. the army was

achieved, prosperity unprecedented swept
