didates will give many voters more
pleasure than most elections. There
has been a hot contest in at least
two spots on the ticket.
Race for Republican Nomination
For Governor Noisy
What about all this din regard
ing the republican nomination for
governor? The office pays rather
modest salary. It is for four years.
We usually elect the incumbent for
a second term if he makes good the
first time, as a matter of courtesy
and q policy of keeping a good
man on the job. There was little
complaint from any source regard
ing the LangGe administration un-
til the campaign started. Now we
hear lot about his sins and mis-
deeds. Well, mebby so! Also per-
haps not. We have been told about
the office seeking the man. Then,
too, there is the example of the
man seeking the office. And we
mean seeking!
After All. We Are Hiring
Men 10 Represent Us
Voters have the privilege and
the duty to hear arguments for
and against every candidate then
make up their own minds. Candi-
dates reflect their character and
ability by the very nature of their
campaign. We now see heated
campaigning for various offices.
Remember, newspaper space and
radio time, speakers and bill boards
cost a lot of money. While a resi-
dent of another state, we witness
ed an aggressive candidate secure
the office of governor and another
of senator by lavish use of funds.
Voters were in a position to be
very sorry before the term of
both of these men expired.
AS voters, the question naturally
arises, why should anyone want an
office enough to spend that kind
of money? How does he expect to
get it back, or does he, either in
cash or in other ways? Is it to the
interest of the voters of the state
to have a man of that type in Of
flee?
Is it his money or that of some
one else? Recently there was a
Langlie reception in Spok an e.

then be happy about and abide by
the decision. If you fail to vote,
say nothing. You will have lost
your voice in the decision.
United States Senate Campaign
Is Many Sided q
In the republican race for the
nomination for senator there are d
number of good men, working
hard. Mayor Cain of Tacoma, now
in Europe in the armed forces, is
being promoted by friends for this
office. However, since it has be-
come known that he is on such an
important war assignment that he
will not be present to campaign
even though nominated, there
seems to be tendency among re-
publicans of the west side of the
state to switch their support to
Herb Seller of Chehalis. They say
that with most of the industry and
war workers on the west side it is
vital to have a senator who knows
the west side and they seem to feel
that Sieler is their man. Cameron
Sherwood of Walla Walla is MAX
ing an active campaign as is Herb
Sieler and Gordon B. Dodd of Sc
attic, formerly of Yakima is claim
ing support for his candidacy.
Otto Case Showing Speed in
Final Days Of Campaign
After a slow start personally,
due to illness from flu attack,
Otto Case is working for the NOM
ination for land commissioner on
the democratic ticket. He offers a
program of reforestation and de-
velopment of plastics from waste
forest products.

Milk and Honey Tests

Five healthy adults ranging in
age from % to 4i years went on
diet consisting of one quart Of
milk and 100 grams of honey a
day. Some iodine was added, this
being in Minnesota which is an
iodine poor state. The iodine was
to protect against goiter and keep
the thyroid gland satisfied.
Tests were made every so often
Of the blood of these subjects, and
a thorough physical examination
including a dental examination.
The blood examinations deter
mined whether the minerals nee
essary to life-calclum, phospho-
rus, magnesium, etc.,-were pres
ent in proper proportions. Also
whether the vitamins-B, c and
others-were present in the blood
in the proper proportions. This is
done in all carefully conducted re-
searches, and should come as
surprise to those who just guess
they need some vitamins or iron
and call at the drug store for a
package: such action is not a
controlled nutritional study.
During the test period three Of
the subjects lost weight and two
gained. The yitamins stayed pretty
low in the blood, bot no serious
symptoms Of deficiency occurred.
In general it may be said that
Moses had his hopes raised too
high b. the idea that milk and
honey Is an entirely adequate diet.
