I tables and meat, Faith took the
empty nursing bottle gently from
little Hopes relaxed clutch, stopped
to brush her lips lightly against the
soft, short GIRLS of red and gold.
then raised her eyes to see Bob
standing in the doorway, looking On
at the picture with moist blue eyes.
"You've-come back" she whis-
pered, still conscious Of the sleeping
baby, even in the shock of JOY that
made her nerves CULVER.
For answer, he held out his arms,
and Faith, running on tiptoe, went
into them, but not before she had
closed the door of Cherry's room.
I'm so sorry and ashamed" Bob
whispered brokenly, straining her to
his breast so tightly that she gasped,
in sweet pain. II know now what
you did, you foolish darling, to help
me-"
"Oh!' Faith cried. you've been
to the bank, BIB? You see, l didn't
want you to worry"
Il know, sweet" he interrupted,
his hand stroking her hair. II found
this morning, in going over some
papers on my desk, that Cherry had
neglected to deposit a check for 5000

the bank to see if any checks had
been returned unpaid. l couldn't

Washington, Sept. 29-As they try
to guess wh>t sort of farm relief
legislation will be passed by the next
Congress, such friends as the farm.
er has in Washington are some
times bothered by vague doubts as to
whether it will ever be possible to
pass anything which the president
can consistently approve.
Some bill undoubtedly will be
passed and it might conceivably be
passed over Coolidge veto. The
McNary- Haugen bills supporters
say they will push that measure
again and try to beat the veto with
it, but the chances are that they
will finally accept some compromise
bill which would attract more sup
port in Congress and also stand a
better chance Of the presidential APP
proval.
May Oppose Bill
There is, however, small insect
in the butter. And that is that the
presidents message in vetoing the
McNary- Haugen bill was SO wither-
ing and SO comprehensive that it
might be reasonably construed as an
argument against any sort Of relief
which would be anywhere near salts
factory to the farm bloc.
A study Of the McNary-Haugen
veto message in conjunction with
perusal Of almost any Of the out
standing proposals fer relief legisla-
ton shows this to be the case. Take,
for instance, the so-called admin
istration bill" or "Jardine bill, y
which was hallyhooed at Rapid City
as having the Jardine- Hoover Mel
Ion approval and strong prospects Of
support by Coolidge himself. This
bill seems to be modelled along the
lines Of the old Curtis Crisp bill,
also known as an administration
BILL but that isn't the point.
While the "Jardine bill' is not at
all satisfactory to the farm bloc, it
is almost impossible to see how it
can be satisfactory to President
Coolidge, either. 1t doesn't contain
the very controversial equalization
fee" feature Of the McNary-Haugen
bill, but it contains numerous other
features against which the president
went definitely on record. And Mr..
Coolidge is reputed never to reverse
himself.
What Is 1t, Then?
The president described govern
ment price-fixing as great eco
nomic folly from which this country
has every right to be spared" But
this bill provides for price stabil-
ization' or control by a federal
board appointed by the president
and if that doesn't mean price fix
ing someone will have to explain he

Here is the place where loneliness
keeps house.
Between the river and the wooded

Within valley where the Spring

Her firstling wind-flowers under

Where Summer sits braiding her

With bramble-roses; and where
Autumn fills
Her lap with asters; and old Winter
frills
With Crimson haw and hip his
snowy blouse.
Here you may meet with Beauty.
Here she sits
Gazing upon the moon, or all the

Tuning wood-thrush flute, remote,
Or, when the storm is out, tits she

WASHINGTON a.
LETTER A3

difference for those who are too
obtuse to discern it.
Mr.. Coolidge advised Congress
that high prices one year. always
meant greater acreages the next
rear, complicated by decreased con-
sumption, and that inasmuch as the
problem was one Of crop SURPRISES,
an attempt to keep prices high
would leave the farmer worse off
than ever. Dumping SURPRISES
abroad at low prices while high
prices prevailed at home eventually
would bring the same commodities
pouring back over the tariff wall
into this country at prices below
the domestic figure, he suggested.
If SURPRISES were dumped at home,
of course, domestic buyers would
hold off buying in anticipation Of
the dumping.
Inasmuch as one Of the duties of
the "Jardine bill" farm board is to
handle SURPRISES and no one has
suggested destroying the surplus,
something must be done with it and
it is assumed that the idea is to
dump it abroad and depend on the
loss to be cqualized by the gain at
home.
1T ignores the fact that produc-
ton is curbed only by decreased,
not increased, prices" wrote the
president. But the administration
bill" does not provide for any scheme
for control of production except
through co-operatives and it most
certainly does not suggest that pro-
duction ought to be controlled by
decreased prices.
Both Have Same Fault
| The president said the McNary.
Haugen bill would subject agricul-
ture to "the tyranny Of bureaucratic
regulation and control" Well, the
McNary measure provided for IL
members Of a federal board to con-
troll and dispose Of SURPRISES who
would be selected from men named
by farm co-operatives. The "ad-
ministration bill" provides for
board of three men presidentially
appointed plus the secretary of agri-
culture, who would have complete
control of the agricultural system.
In most respects it would appear to
have autocratic powers equal to
those of the McNary-Haugen board
and because three of the four men,
bers would be members of the party
controlling the administration it has
been charged that this bill if made
law would be likely to throw the
power of manipulating the entire
national agriculture into the hands
Of Wall Street.
Many other things the president
pointed to as fundamental economic
principles violated by the McNary-
Haugen bill. Whether these princi-
Piles have changed or the president
has charged remains to be seen.

Medical Association and of Hygeia.
the Health Magazine
Since the feeding Of human be-
ings has become the new science of
dietetics, all sorts of information
is being offered to the public that
has hardly yet begun to realize that
some things are only theory, where
as others have bee, proved. Some
of the worst bilge that has appeared
comes from unenli, 'htened health
faddists who have never even studied
the basic facts of chemistry, physi-
ology and biology on which the
science of dietetics rests.
Thus one item recently published
asserts that asparagus may be used
as test of the kidney function.
the heart. that it a nerve soda
tive, and that it stimulates the kid
neys and will help Bright's disease.
This is on par with the notion that
fish and celery are brain foods.
Science Refutes Idea
Actually there is not the slightest
reason for believing that asparagus
will do any of these things and the
recognition of the ordor Of some Of
the by-products Of asparagus in the
excretions is not test Of kidney
function any further than to show
tina. the kidney Ere there and that
they do function.
Asparagus is Of course an excel
lent vegetable for many purposes in
the diet. It may be used as the
basis Of soups and fits well into
salads. Twenty large stalks Of as
paragus eight inches long provide
one hundred calories. They will
weigh about is ounces. About 80
per cent Of the amount of solid
matter will be protein, per cent
will be fat and so per cent carbo-
hydrate. Asparagus has been used
as food for at least two thousand
years. More than twelve million
lunches are sold every year in the
United States.

LETT for Bob's offices. Faith sped
from her almost untasted breakfast
to make up her husbands bed before
Mrs. Lundy should have an oppor-
tunity Of seeing that only one Of the
twin beds had been slept in. She
could not tolerate the thought Of an
alien in her home knowing of her
arrangement from her husband.
Cherry's knowing was terrible

Mrs. Lundy's broad, honnely face
reddened at the rebuke, but Faith
saw that her keen gray eyes were
very kind, plying.
Excuse me, nla'am," she said in
such . conciliating voice that Faith
was made ashamed. "There was

The peculiar by-products of as

the credulous with the notion that

the view that the plant itself or

it, are of any other practical value
