DIR. Hughes's Diplomacy

DR.. Hughes has held a clinic on the
U. S. Navy and decided that to dis
arm it is necessary to cut off all the
new growth and keep the old relics.
If a man has three guns and revol-
vers, throw away the newest and
keep the old breech loader and the old
pistol. If you have too much house,
move into the woodshed. Great
craftsmanship. Great surgeon. The
greatness is in the surprise in which
it was given and great for its lack of
common sense.
1t is fortunate that Charles E.
Hughes was not elected President in
1916 and not the wal President. He
would have the boys going to war
with the Colonial ~blunderbusses and
not the latest machine guns, because
his diplomacy has gotten no further
than George Washington's farewell
address made in 1897, which declared
against foreign alliances, when the
nations then were autocratic monar-
chies.
We will have to raise a new gener-
alton of school boys to be Statesmen
who have studied the little book,
Democracy To-Day" with Woodrow
Wilson's picture in it.

WHAT OSCILLATION" HAS COST

The special committee of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United States
returns from Europe with two clearly
defined opinions.
One is that the United States, even
as a matter of economic necessity,
cannot afford to shirk its duties IN re-
spect to the settlement of the various
questions growing out of the war.
The other is that none of the great
nations, including the United States,
can continue to eXpend so large a
part of it's entire revenue, derived
from taxation which is now almost
unbearable, in preparation for future
war if the present civilization is to
continue"
This is the conclusion that most
Americans arrive at after an impair
tial investigation of European condi-
tions. We cannot get away from
Europe and we cannot get away from
the economic consequences of COM
petitive armament. No theory can
stand against the memorable facts.
Chairman Larker of the Shipping
Board, in a speech, stated a very I'M
portant business truth when he said
that. generally speaking, the last 10
per cent. of production makes the
market 1t is because this last 10
per cent. of production has been de-
stroyed by the collapse of u Euro
pean markets that there are nearly
5000, 900 men out of work in this
country. The responsibility for the
collapse of the European markets rests
more upon the United States than
upon any other agency. If the Senate
in the summer of 1919 had set out
deliberately under the leadership of
Henry Cabot Lodge to wreck Ameri-
can prosperity it could not have
adopted a more effective policy than
the one that it followed in the name
of a bogus Americanism.-N. Y.

America Is a Land Flowing With Milk
and Eggs

She is Syrian, and young and beau
tiful. Her home high up in a Pater-
son tenement is her paradise, her
husband, sick and often jobless, is not
only to be loved, but obeyed. But
her world centers about two little
bodies, once crooked, which Providence
ton Agent, doctors and nurses, is fast
making straight and strong.
Over in Syria green vegetables and
milk / right on hand. Nobody has
to be taught to use them. 1t is the
natural thing TO do. But COWS and
gardens are scarce in the heart of
the city of Paterson, far scarcer than
pastry, coffee, hamburg steak and the
inevitable garlic. Was it strange that
a little mother scarcely 16 years old
(she had married or been married at
14) served to her family in good faith
what America offered?
Her husband had ricketts,. The first
child died of them. Then little dark
skinned Mary came into a world full
of love, but not of the right kind of
food. A little later Charlie followed
her. A little mother watched their
llcCOS XIV" JOO IdlSC dllu IIltIG HUE
limbs crooked, helpless before the
strangeness of a new country whose
language she could not speak.
Then it vas that the City Home
Demonstration appeared and found
room in ONE hospital where Mary
and Charlie started on the slow, long
road to health. In the meantime the
woman who is teaching the Paterson
women who need her most what it
means to live in America, climbed
regularly the three flights of steep
stairs to the rooms where Charles
and Mary's mother was t~rustfully
waiting for the day when they would
come home well and strong. An in
terpreter always came along and
helped the Home Demonstration teach
the Syrian mother how to make Gus
tards and cereals, milk soups and
buildings that would keep those little
bodies straight when they came at
last from the hospital.
For eight months they stayed, then
returned to a home where good food
and love waited them together. Now
Mary runs and laughs and hugs her
doll like any fve-year-old girl. And
soon she is going to kindergarten. And
Charlie, though his legs are not quite
straight yet, smiles trustingly with
dark Syrian eyes on a world that
promises to give him a square deal
after all.
And the Home Demonstration Agent
looks in on the family every once IN
awhile on her way to visit some other
Charlie and Mary, but now no inter
prefer is needed to tell her that greens
and milk and eggs are helping make
good little American citizens of
Charlie and Mary.

Farmers Want Ford To Have Muscle
Shoals Plant

Henry Ford's offer to take over the
Government nitrate plant at Muscle
Shoals has met with the heartiest APP
proval by the farmers of New Jersey,
as well as of other States. The New
of Agriculture is asking the repre-
sentatives of this State in Congress
for friendly and full consideration.
Mr.. Ford's proposal appears to
offer the best solution to the disposal
of the plant that has yet come before
the Government, which, it is esti-
mated, has spent $80,000,00 on entire
prospect. Mr.. Ford offers to purchase
the plant outright for $4,000 600, and
to take a lease for 100 years on the
dam, electrical equipment, etc, pro-
posing to pay 6 per cent. interest
on a valuation of $28,000,0 00. He
further proposes to amortize not only
this sum, but the entire cost of both
dams I'VE a period Of 100 years.
1t is Mr.. Ford's intention to oper-
ate the plant for the production of
nitrogenous fertilizer, and to keep it
in shape for the production of eXplo-
sives should a war occur. He would
limit the profits on the fertilizer plant
to 8 per cent, and suggests an indie
pendent board embodying representa-
tives of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, the National Grange and
the Farmers Union to certify this
maximum.
The =. 4nizad farmers have been
greatly disconnected by the delay in
Congress OF completing the plant and
beginning TIE manufacture of nj
trates. Fertili4ar and other interests
have opposed ,he project on the
ground that it would compete with
their business. The acceptance of Mr..
Ford's offer promises large benefits
to American agriculture, for it will
undoubtedly result in making large
quantities of nitrates available at a
relatively low cost.

Winter Injury Follows Fall Neglect
of Fruit Trees

Some orchardists run a kind of
glorifed cafeteria all winter long for
rabbits and mice at the base of their
fruit trees, others take a day or two
off about this time of year and give
their trees such treatment as will
spell teeth off" to rodents.
1t is a great temptation to neglect
fruit trees in the fall when proper
treatment might protect trees that
otherwise would be subject to injury
during the winter months, points out
Professor A. j. Farley, pomologist of
the New Jersey Agricultural Expert
ment Station, who suggests the fol-
lowing mean of protecting the
trunks:
"Pack the soil around the trunks of
peach trees firmly and mound to a
height of six or eight inches to guard
against the common form of winter
injury, which shows itself in the form
of spongy, brown or black inner bark
on the tree trunks near the surface
of the soil. Such a treatment will
prevent water from settling around
the tree trunks, which by alternate
freezing and thawing is largely re-
sponsible for the winter injury refer
red to above.
Protection against mice and rabbits
is, under ordinary conditions, a very
simple matter. First, all dead grass
and weeds that afford a hiding Or
nesting place for rodents should be
cleared away from an area at least
three feet in diameter around the
trunk of each tree. The trunks of
the trees should then be given a
thorough coat of l%ime-sulphur or
thick whitewash containing a liberal
amount of concentrated lime-sulphur.
an orchards where rabbits are par
ticularlv numerous, quarter inch
mesh wire, heavy building paper or
thick strips of wood veneer are m
times used as a protection, but under
average conditions the l~ime-sulphur
whitewash will be sufficient.

The Heresy Of Henry Allen

Addressing a New York canal meet
ing in the interest of the St. Law
renee route, Gov. Henry Allen, of
kansas, so far forgot himself as to
say, "The Barge Canal doesn't get for
the Middle West the relief the Middle
West is seeking. We are bound for
Liverpool, not Buffalo,
Why did not the walls that heard
this monstrous utterance collapse and
bury the hereto. Here is the Repub-

We have to do to be happy is to shut

charge Kansas "remunerative' prices
for Eastern manufactured goods and
collect from foreign debtors $780,
10000 a year, in gold which they
haven't got, by way of interest.
1t is the heresy of Henry Allen
that Kansas should "load its grain at
Chicago and other lake points" and
"send it straight to Liverpool The

WHY MILK Is PRIME FOOD
Rich In Disease-Preventing Vitamines,
Federal Experts Say

Milk is indispensable to the diet of
children, because its solids are in such
form that they can be easily utilized
by the body, and because it is one of
the best sources of the. lime needed
to build bones and teeth, and of vita
mine A, a substance essential to
health and normal growth, according
to a bulletin just issued by the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The bulletin is for the consumer,
rather than the producer, the distri-
butor of milk, or the manufacturer of
dairy products. 1t is pointed out that
for adults milk is an important sup
Elementary food, and the is
warned that milk should receive scru-
pulous are in the home.
Milk is an important food, because
it contains proteins for tissue form
ing fat and sugar for body fuel, and
minerals, particularly phosphorus and
lime, for building and repairing bones
and other tissues, according to the
bulletin. Milk is much richer in lime
than most other common foods. A
cup of milk contains at least seven
times as much lime as two slices Of
white bread, OF four ounces of aver
age beef. This is n of the eason
why it is such an excellent food for
children for bone and tooth building.
Vitamines, the bulletin says, are
recently discovered constituents of
food. Relatively little is known about
the nature of vitamines, save that
they are indispensable for normal
health and growth, and that if they
are left out of the diet for a long
period so-called deficiency diseases"
may develop. Absence of vitamine A
is believed to induce ricketts,. Vita
mine B is thought to prevent polyneu-
ritis and beri beri. Milk is eXcep-
tionally valuable for providing vita
mine A, and supplies vitamine B in
abundance. Perfectly fresh, raw milk
often supplies vitamine C, but its
scurvy-preventing power may be lost
when it is heated or aged.
Each child should have a full quart
of milk a day, if possible, is the adj
vice given in the bulletin.
While certified raw milk is usually
the cleanest milk ~obtainable, it usu-
ally costs a little more than ordinary
milk. Good pasteurized milk is salts
factory for children, the bulletin says,
if the juice of oranges, canned or raw
tomatoes, or certain other vegetables
and fruits is given to provide vita
mine C. Directions for home pasteur-
ization are given in the bulletin, to-
gether with an explanation of how
bacteria get into milk, the harm they
cause, and the effect of careless hand
limo rnon them.
4 great many kinds of bacteria
have been found in milk. Some of
them cause the formation of Tactic
acid, which give sour milk its char
acteristic flavor, while others cause
milk to purify if allowed to stand
long enough. The bacteria that causes
serious diseases may also get into
milk. and are sometimes spread in this
way resulting in epidemics. Especial
precautions as to cleanliness on the
part of those who produce and handle
milk are strongly urged by the Fed
eral experts.

that their decision would be taken as
a "Gentleman's Agreement" between
the five big nations, because a treaty
might be defeated in the Senate. This
weeks propaganda is that an "Asso-

That has aroused the wild American
Senator Borah, from the Rocky Noun

THE CHEMICAL UNION
By James ]. Montague

Oxygen men should marry nitro

Oh, lovely, nitrogen lady,
Each oxygen atom in me
With love is ahame, and demands that
you name
The day when our wedding shall be.
Yea. even the tiny electrons
Of which the said atoms are built,
Would droop in despair if a maiden so
fair
Were to prove a perfidious iilt.
So bark to my passionate pleading,
Let u hearts and our souls have
communion
With never a sigh as the years hasten
In a perfectly chemical union.
l welded, before l had wisdom,
A maid Of the oxygen sort.
Our married life vas a record of
strife
Which ended, of course, in a court.
Identical atoms composed US,
Our wants were exactly the same,
It's a %fatuous plan for an oxygen mar
To marry a nitrogen dame.
We both wanted fat for our dinner,
Unlike Mr.. Spratt and his spouse,
And for seven long years, filled with
curses and tears,
Our rows made a wreck of the
house.
But you're a nitrogen maiden;
Your atoms are friendly with mine;
For the fat I'll be keen; you'll be
strong for the lean,
And our dinners will all be divine.
Well dwell in delightful contentment,
According to chemical law,
All our joys will increase in molecu-
lar peace,
With never the sign of a flaw.
So prithee, accept my proposal
Send me- word that you'll surely be
mine.
Wen be happy through life as a hus-
band and wife,
For our atoms will get along fire.
