OUR GREAT NATIONAL HABIT.

Figures have been compiled showing how many cakes and pies, cream puffs and eciairs, chocolate candies, sun- daes and sweets were consumed by American soldiers stationed in Ger many last year, and they seem to bear out the assertion that Americans are fonder of sugary edibles than any other people in the world. Prior to the war, the Englishman, with his predilection for jam, was the champ ion sugar eater, consuming s6.3 pounds year. The American was a close second, with consumption of Si.6 pounds. The Frenchman, the German and the HoiIauder ate about 70 pounds each. while the annual con- sumption per capita in Greece, Italy. and Serbia was only several pounds. But there has been an increase in our consumption of the sweet stuff since then' and we are now probably we'll in the lead.
 We eat so much sugar because we like its flavor, rather than because of its nutritive value. It is fortunate for us that unless taken in extraordin- ary quantities it is digestible. Inves- tlgatlons made by government ex- perts show that there is little basis for such popular beliefs as that he.vv consumption of sweets may cause sont. As it is a highly concentrated fcod. however, the experts say it ia nsdvisable to eat more than four or

SPANNING THE RETAILER.

Criticism is one of the easiest and most popular of indoor sports, and nearly everybody these days likes to take whack at the retail merchant. Whenever two or three are gathered together in conversation you are pretty sure to hear somebody start in about the prices and profits at the To- cal store-and we all join in the chorus. Maybe the merchant doesn't deserve all the mean things said about him. Probably in this case, as in most other cases of violent criticism, a better understanding would often soften our Judgments. At any rate, most of the merchants we know per- sonally are average good fellows they declare that they are victims of circumstances--that they are being made the particular goats of this re- adjustment period. We suggest that they be more frank with the public. If their profits are not too great, as they say, they might institute a course of explanatory advertising, so that we may know just where the difficulties lie.Farm Life.

SENATE HOLDS
UP ALIEN RUSH
Bill Setting 355, 900 as Limit
Passed and Sent to
House.
ONLY TWO VOTES AGAINST IT
Measure Holds Fourteen Months if
Made a Law-Harrison of Mis-
sissippi Leads Fight to Make
Act More Drastic.

Washington, Feb. 22.-The senate
voted to restrict immigration into the
United States between April 1, 1921,
and June 80, 1922, to a maximum OF
$4,000 persons.
1t passed the Dillingham; bill by a
vote of 81 to after amending it to
limit admissions from any country to
3 per cent of the number of natives
of that country residing in the United
States in 1910. The only votes against
the measure were cast by Senator
Reed Of Missouri, Democrat, and SEN
ator France of Maryland, Republican.
At the same time, the senate went
on record against the Johnson bill
passed by the house suspending all i'm
migration for a year. 1t rejected the
Johnson bill by 43 to 10. Senators
Borah, Jones of Washington, and
Willis, Republicans, and Senators
Ashhurst, Beckham, Harris, Harrison,
Hef1ln, King, Mcclellan, Myers, Over
man, Pittman, Pomerene, Ransdell,
Swanson, Thomas, Trammell and IN
derwood, Democrats, supported the
Johnson BILL
The measure now goes ito confer
ence. No serious difficulty is antici-
pated in getting the differences OF the
two houses adjusted.
1t is contended by some advocates
of the Dillingham; bill that it will be
far more restrictive than the Johnson
bill for the reason that the provision
in the latter permitting the admission
of relatives of immigrants already ar
rived furnishes loophole for whole
sale evasions.
Senator Dillingham; said he was I'M
able to state whether the measure
would permit the admission of enough
immigrants during the next year ade-
quately to supply the country with
'pick and shovel labor.
Senator Harrison Of Mississippi
Democrat led the fight to make the
bill more drastic. He first offered an
amendment limiting admissions to
per cent. This was beaten by viva
yoce vote. He next offered the amend
ment for per cent and it was car
ried. Senator Harrison also proposed
an amendment to change the basis Of
computation to the number of natural
lied citizens. This was beaten with
out a roll call.
If the house agrees to the senate
amendments the bill will take effect
April 1, 1921, and remain in effect I'M
til June 80, 1922.

SENATE PASSES TARIFF BILL
Fordney Emergency Measure With
Temporary Duties on Farm Prod
ucts Approved.

Washington, Feb. 18.-After weeks
of tedious debate the senate passed
the Fordney emergency tariff bill i'm
posing temporary duties on farm and
live stock products. The vote on the
passage was 43 to 30. The bill now
goes back to the house for concur
renee in the many amendments added
by the senate. From there it will go
to the President for his approval or
disapprOval.
Belief was expressed that President
Wilson will veto the tariff bill.
The Smoot amendment would place
the tariff at one cent pound in addi-
ton to the present duty Of the same
amount.
The amendments adopted would
provide rates as follows. Butter and
butter substitutes, s cents per pound !;
cheese and cheese substitutes, % per
cent ad valorem; fresh milk, 2 cents

gallon.

Assembly Kills Eiaht-Hour Bill.

Eight-hour day legislation viii not
fare well in the Wisconsin legislature.
This is indicated by unfavorable re-
ports from the labor committee and by
votes which have already been taken
by the legislature Son labor bills.
There is every indication that no eight
hour day legislation will be enacted by
the legislature. By vote of so to 40
the assembly killed bill providing for
an eight-hour day on all state. public
works. This bill was killed after high
way construction had been exempted.
The farmers voted solidly for the de-
feat of the measure. To save his bill
from defeat Assemblyman Conway
asked that his measure declaring it
to be general policy of the state to
favor eight-hour day legislature be
again referred to the committee.
