ices held by Mr.. Hiekson In Baltimore
were unforgetable. There were ema-

women, who moved painfully with the

young women, who moved with shut

the side. There we're women whose

Some sufferers were carried In on

Butter vs.. oleomarxarine.

At Rochester, New York, an expert

value of butter and oleomargarine In tht

riod of six months butter Was again fur
nished. The average gain made by eaof
child for the first period with butter wal
493 pounds; with oleomargarine for th,
second, 2.S9 pounds; and with butter fol
the third period, 7.69 pounds.
It has been stated by the manufactur
ers of oleomargsrine that 1t is whole

ried on with young animals show ths
vegetables and animal fats are not equs
to milk fats for producing growth.

that the ration the children received wal

REPUBLICANS INSURE
ECONOMICAL CONDUCT

Washington.-Not one man In ten
thousand realizes the enormous ex-
penses run up by the present Govern
ment. The disbursements are roughly
$15,0O0.eO0 a day, more than a year
after the war. In 1914 the people
expostulated because the daily dis
bursements by the Treasury had
reached 100000. How gladly would
the people groaning under the impo.
sitions of profiteers and the burden Of
taxes welcome return to those hal
cyon daysl Congress and the new Ad-
ministration will have to deal with
the reduction Of Government expendi-
lures.
The same party that has swelled
them returned to power will never re-
duce them, because 1t claims the gov.
ernmsnt is being economically admin
istered. The Republican party will
delight In reducing these enlarged ex-
penses for clerk hire, and the insa.
table bureaus that have been built up
into money spending machines. By
holding In their hands all lines Of ex-
pendltures the new Congress and new
Executive working together will cut
down excessive items and eliminate
others to an aggregate Of hundreds
Of millions Of dollars.

Pipe Thawer.

The pipe tbswer just developed BY the
General Electric Company is device by
which frozen water pipes may be thswed
electrically, doing away with the old
time use of hot cloths and other tire
some and even dangerous methods. The
apparatus is attached to lamp socket
and uses only as much current as an
electric fiat iron. 1t consists of trans.
former, ten feet of cord for connecti on
with the lighting circuit and second ary
connections for attachment to the pipe.
The faucet is turned on and the secon-
dary leads of the pipe thawed are con.
nected nearest the street. The length
of time before the water starts to flow
from the faucet depends upon the de-
gree to which 1t is frozen, the size OF the
pipe, and the length Of the frozen sec
tiou. In every case It is matter Of but
a few moments before the water 10 re.
stored to its normal circulation.
