| gressmen as a whole are not in the
heavy spending class! The money
loss stands for what the men who
have to do with Congress distribute.
Even during a session, the number
of Congressman who frequent the
big hotels is relatively small, for
the rich ones have their own homes
and the poorer ones live in small
apartments or boarding houses.
During the session the crowds which
fill the dining rooms are composed
of men who are representing busi-
ness interests and who feel obliged
to remain in Washington for con-
ferences and the conduct of their af-
fairs. Back of the protest against
the short congressional session and
also back of the almost constant de-
mand for an extra session, can be
found many of the Washington bust
ness men who in this hope to lessen
the off-session busines famine.
Senator William Borah deserves
the thanks of all for the speech
which he delivered in Denver before
the international Advertising Asso-
citation in which he declared that we
had work enough at home in the
United States without attempting to
run Europe. The Senator has not
promulgated a new thought, but
credit belongssto him for the empha-
sis he placed on it, and for again
centering the attention of the Ameri-
can people as a whole on a situation
which because of high European in
terest rates and bankers profits
they have been prone to ignore.
William NJ. Butler, chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
was the first to sound this note of
warning. Two years ago in a pub
lie address he declared that while
We were anxious to help Europe
and should assist in any way pos
sible in the moral rehabilitation of
foreign nations, that if a decision
had to be made as to whether Euro
pean or American workmen should
walk the streets in idleness that he
for one, must still hold that our own
people had the first call upon our
resources and efforts. With Borah
and Butler of common mind on
this important matter, there need be
no fear that the next Republican
national platform will lack strong
definite declaration that the party
as whole is for America first, last
and always.
The Republican National Com
mittee, through Chairman William
M. Butler, has done a fine, graceful
thing in issuing its pamphlet on the
work of Congress during the last
session. The record ITO be found
in carefully and tastefully printed
pamphlet Chairman Butler in his
foreword wrote of Congress as fol-
lows: 'The record of the Republican
Party is its best assurance of fut-
ure achievement-its strongest ap-
peal for public approval In view of
what this record is, as will be shown

ELECTRIFIED
MILK LATEST
New Process Is Advanced Pas
teurizatiOn Of Food Products.
Health Board Reports Findings.

Electrified milk, that is milk
treated with electricity to eliminate
the bacteria that is in all milk, is
the latest in the treatment of this
food even though it comes from ac-
credited herds, according to DR..
Arthur T. Davis, executive secretary
of the State Board of Health.
For several years DR.. Davis has
been following experiments begun
in 1914 that have reached conclus-
ion not only abroad, but this coun-
try. One of the chief difficulties, ac-
cording to DR.. Davis, has not been
in the ability to electrify the milk,
but to do it cheap enough to bring
it within commercial value. This
stage has been reached and there
are several plants in the country
either distributing electrified milk
or building plants to do so.
DR.. Davis pointed out the need
for this sterilization which is but
step farther than pasteurization.
The electrical treatment of milk, he
stated, was really pasteurization in
an advanced stage.
Even though milk should come
from a herd that is tuberculine test
ed, that is from animals that are
not tainted with tuberculosis, there
is still the danger of the milk hav-
ing typhoid and diarheal germs.
For that reason, pastuerization
such as is practiced now, or electric
sterilization, which is the latest
method, are needed to make the milk
free from disease.
The advantage of electr1fylng
milk is that it practically eliminates
all bacteria. Experiments have
shown that many instances less than
2 per cent of the bacteria remain
in the milk after it has been steril-
lied with electricity. 1t is also
claimed for this new process that
certain vital elements of the milk,
such as vitamins and a percentage
of butter-fat, are not destroyed or
lessened in any degree in a food
furnishing way.

in some details in this pamphlet, it
is with both pride in the past and
confidence in the future that this
report of stewardship is issued"
Inc hcpubncan NaionaI Commit
tee pamphlet on Congress has al
roady caused considerable stir a
mong the Washington correspond
ents who have been searching their
records for a precedent. 1t has been
done before, but it is a particularly
happy inspiration on the part of
the chairman to send it forth at this
time. Congress is not perfect. But
it must also be said in justice to
the members of that body that it is
about as near perfect as any legis-
lative body in the civilized world.
And when one examines the record
with the thought of putting his or
her finger on some glaringly bad
piece of legislation which has been
enacted the effort is fruitless one.
Congress talks, Congress prints,
Congress delays, but when Congress
enacts, the statue stands. 1t is al
ways the result of sincere de-
mand for legislation on the part of
the people of the country. Sneering
and jeering at Congress has become
altogether too, common. 1t is also
unfortunate because it is unde
served. tor that reason it is just as
well to set down in plain black and
white what the last Congress has
done so that those who run may
read.
The sincerity and the friendliness
of the reception which President
Coolidge gave to Gen. Leonard Wood
in the black Hills has warmed the
cookies of the heart of all. The
General, who has a wonderful rec
ord of achievement, is an able SOL
dier, fine friend, a true blooded pat
riot, was sent to the Philippines to
follow a Democratic administration
which had virtually destroyed
American control and responsibility.
He has given the best that was in
him to the people of the country,
and restored the dignity which
marked United States rule. General
Wood has carried on during a peri
cd of intense physical suffering and
distress, and it can be said here
that the words of appreciation which
President Coolidge voiced to the
General on his arrival were only
the repetition of expressions which
the President has made to other
people while Wood was still in the
Philippines. The President is anx-
ious the General should return to
the islands. The work started has
not yet been finished.

Power expense is the one vital
factor in producing crops over
which the farmer has control. The
thinking farmer will keep down this
expense at all times. 1t is impor-
tant, therefore, that he study the
relative advantages of animal and
Mechanical power for his own con-
ditions, in order to convince himself
of the necessity of raising colts for
replacement purposes before the in

BERLIN PLEASED
 AT ROAD PROJECT Citizens Interested in Proposed
 Spring Improvement SURVEYORS CHECKING UP
Local Woman Injures Hand in Acci- dent at c. E. Prentice Mfg. Con- pany-Boys' Club Reserves Lose First Encounter of Season.

With the appearance of surveyors on the Beach Swamp road, indica tions are that this town will realize one of it's fondest dreams this spring when permanent highway will be constructed between Worth ington ridge and New Britain to take the place of the washboard af- fair over which traffic now bounces.
 Affairs began moving towards this end last September when the state highway commission, which had tabled former pleas for the road. called for bids on the highway. This announcement came out of a clear sky to this place, as Berlin ties had resigned themselves to a two year wait before any action would be taken.
 The highway commission, at the time of the announcement, stated that considerable money would be spent in an endeavor to give Berlin a lasting highway between here and New Britain. Because of the inse- cure foundation at the base of the Beach Swamp road and because of natural condition which make the place extremely difficult to keep in good shape, considerable expense will be involved in the construction of permanent base The former roads which have been laid through this district have gone to pieces cas- fly through tho combined efforts of heavy traffic and faulty bases.
 The road has always been a sore spot in the hearts of the automobil- fists and bus riders of this place. First Selectman George B. Carter has long been at swords points with the state commission in an effort to put through the permanent road. Claiming that Beech swamp road was no more than sub-artery rath- CT than main highway. the project has often been tabled in favor Of some other thoroughfare which has been termed more important than the local road.
 It Is not exactly known as yet whether or not the commission Is planning to straighten out the high way through the back road to Meri- den or whether the new route will cover the same ground as is now used. Many local people favor the former route, terming it shorter and claiming that although 1t will na- turally follow in time that this high way will be the more important of the two, it shoud be rushed through as soon as possible. While their ar guments are correct, it is thought
