Since Dev. 4, ¢ has been only nine days in the United States, He has been ‘with great tasks, speaking and voting for the Nation in the int of world issues, upholding the principles for which Ameri- ‘fought. The people of the United States appreciate what he t done and the necessity of doing it. Of their lasting gratitude ‘the consistency and success witht which he has represented them the peace councils, the President can rest assured. “But with his home coming the country earnestly hopes for the .

It deeply desires the President's extended absorption in interngtional affairs ~ Prove to have in no way lessened his interest in the practical : which await him. WWhese tasks mean much to the Nation. Those whose duty it to undertake them have instead ignored them. They cangot go unperformed without serious consequences, — , _ Business and industry in this country require to be restored to permanent peace basis. They require assurance that the special ey SS ee OS er Ce Se Ss SSS Sas <e and derangements to which they were subjected by the ze ies of war are to be once and for all removed. The return the railroads and the wire systems to their private owners is part of a general relinquishment of Government grip which ) restoration of peace demands. Americans may yield the man- t of their private affairs to meet the exigencies of war, but cannot consent to go on doing business under governmenial ucracies, that show themselves loath to give up their war even after the full return“of peace. No less important than the adjustment of relations between and capital, to which the President referred in his message of y 20 to Congress, is the wider problem how to replenish the ly of labor in the United States as it becomes more and more ited by emigration’ which has no immigration to offset it. true seriousness of this depletion is only beginning to dawn on country. ' Beside the ungent need of repealing war taxes, like the so-cajled taxes, which are admittedly no longer necessary, there is the yer need of securing, so far as Government action can help to it, a more equitable distribution of the burdens which war left. ‘ j Whis is the help of which millions of American consumers stand most in need. 4 Record harvests, abundant food, increasing supplies of all neces- have failed to reach the American consumer in a consistent on of retail prices.

Would the retailer have dared to exact such a profit the war? ° * Whis is only a sample of what the consumer constantly expe- ces in buying necessities, including food. So far the attitude the Government—with its finger still hovering over wholesale has been that a drop of prices from war levels is an economic iger—a view which has had’ the enthusiastic backing of the meat ckers, the wheat raising fdrmers and other producers and handlers smecessities.

Hadn't I better invite them in and give them some cake and ginger ale?” “I'm for that,” replied the: Mayor. “But there Is no ginger ale in the house,” said Mra, Walker. The Mayor said he would sneak out the back door, run down to the drug- store and get a supply. “Applaud them and keep them playing till I get bagk,”" he whis- pered, as he left, Miss Walker, who ts thirty-three years old ind trained in the art of cake-bakiug, had made a fine choco- late cake that day, While her mother applauded, the young woman went down stairs and cut the cake, She set the dining room table, using the best of the family Jinen, and then hastened upstairs, where she put on a new summer gown of Orange Peko gingham.

Mrs, Walker and Miss Walker lined up behind the Mayor, who threw the door open. The only ,light burning was in the dining room, “Welcome, bo: vaid the Mayor. “Go right into the dining room.” ‘The serenaders obeyed. Just as they emerged from the dark hall into the lighted room Miss Walker leaped be- fore them and swid: * “Welcome, my troubadours!" “Howdy, Miss Walkab!” replied the first man. ‘ Yor a moment the young woman Was stunned by surprise, Then she flew at her father, “Look what you've done,” she said. “You've invited Ham Higby and his two brothers in here to eat at 11 P, M. You're an old fool.” Ham Higby is the colored porter at the Home Hotel, and his brothers have @ shine stand at the depot. ‘The three musicians pald no attention to the violent words of Miss Walker, but immediately began devouring the sandwiches and drinking the ginger ale, “Djs heah es sho’ good,” said Hep Higby, “but what was dat dah name de young lady done called us?” “Ab thenk she called us a troupe o' replied Ham Higby, “Ah Pass me a hunk ob doors,” don’t get her. cake, Hep.” ‘The Mayor quickly recovered * his equilibrium, He ‘told his wife and daughter to go up stairs, Then he said to the musicians: “[ knew it was you fellows, so 1 prepared for you.

By modified milk we Mean that the original milk as taken from the cow is changed by adding to it or by tyking from it cer- tain constituents, so that it resembles as closely as possible the mother’s milk, ‘Those who have been following my articles know that the maternal milk changes from week to Week, indeed from day to day, growing in strength and volume to meet the increasing demands of the growing infant, and it 1s precisely on this principle that bottle-fed babies must be nourished. Cow's milk must be modified and its strength increased throughout the nursing period. The reason some in- fants cannot digest cow's milk is be- cause this very necessary modifica- tion has not been made.
