 Will Get Somewhere
 Now such freshman Senator is bound tO get somewhere, either into respected fame or ridicule. This rec ord does not touch his activity in ex- eeutive session, where he spoke at least once on the Lausanne treaty; or in committees, where he is generally on deck and his opinions on tap. As in the Senate. so in committees. he IS one of the hardest workers.
 He is a most absorbing study, this Hiram Bingham, university profes- sor. South American explorer, war aviation school commander, lieutenant governor and governor for day be- fore he rushed into the Senate. Since arriving here he has not stopped for lunch or repairs.
 Most of the members of the critical Senate press gallery have turned thumbs down on him. Many senators are laughing at him. But behind his back. of cousse. Bingham knows neither reverence nor fear. The hon ored Senate idea that freshmen should say little means nothing to this per son Nor does he hesitate to walk in where angels. to say nothing of sen N..s44#r.Fs. #F, tread ka ft- marks with the bitter-tongued Reed of Missouri, Walsh of Montana, Car away of Arkansas. and thinks nothing of stopping the mighty Borah several times in the middle of his big speech; nor of constituting himself the defender of the administration.
 Will he prove a large false alarm The majority Washington verdict is that he will And you get that verdict without charge, embellished with many vigorous adjectives. Mir Bingham friends, naturally. don't agree. They point out that this man of various eA- periences and adventures usually knows what he is talking about. For instance. he probably came off on top in his arguments with Borah. He Is not an empty busybody.
 IL is too early yet to write Bingham off the books as false alarm. He has petentialities which are not easily downed. He possesses fighting quail ties and an intellect that is good. HC Is, however, handieapping himself by antagouizing senators and the press Probably he knows this and has as sessed the danger. Probably ii Is als, true that hc is ah!er than tic sverag, senator; beyond doubt he is more in dustrious. Time alone will render th, right verdict on him.

vITAMINs ON YOUR TABLE7
State Board of Health Suggests Wher,
 to Find Them
Infant Feeding

Nitamlns are now having their day of publicity and indications are that they will outrun the widely advertis- ed breakfast foods. Because of this they are enjoying larger use on the family table.
 When they first made their appear ance some ten years ago they were known only in scientific circles, and seemed obscure and uninteresting to the layman. Little by little, however, their practical value has been demon strated. their importance to health has been emphasized and now, through the wide publicity being given to them, every family is intent upon securing them in their daily diet.
 Unfortunately vitamins cannot be secured in package form like most foods. so the housekeeper when she goes to market, must know how and where to secure them She will not go far wrong to include CD the fruit and vegetable stands in the daily mar ket trips for here she will secure:
 Nitamin A. which is such an im- portant factor in the growth of her children. and protects them, and adult members as well, from disease infee- tion.
 Vitamin B. which influences the health of the whole family and pro- notes growth.
 yitamin c, which is important in infant feeding, an essential for tooth formation in the growing child, and Is a general health factor.
 To q lesser extent, Nitamin D, which protects against rickets.
 Her market trips will also include;
 f2) The dairy department, where butter and cream will provide vita min 4 whole milk. vitamin A and E and to lesser extent vitamin C and b. and eggs, vitamin A and D.
 (3) The bread and cereal depart ment where graham, whole wheat, Boston brown bread, and oatmeal, old fashioned corn meal. whole wheat cer- calls brown rice will provide a liberal supply of vitamin B and to a lesser extent vitamin A.
 She may also visit the canned goods department in order to vary her diet occasionally. knowing that here she may secure lesser amounts of vitamin 4 and B, but not yitamin C, except in the case of tomatoes. which she buys in large quantities.
 She is careful to serve some of the fruit raw. and frequently lettuce sal l ad so that vitamin C may he literally provided.
 Families are beginning to see the . relation between right food and good health. and realize that those foods which are rich in the vitamins are an part of a well-balanced diet.
