If these are times of peace, why
levy a "war tax"? We have no war
expense now. Where is the people s
money going? The present time is
the first in the history of the nation
that the people of the U. S. had to
pay war tax in time of peace.
Another thing, this is no time to be
talking about prosperity. It must be
remembered that never since the ad
ministration of Grover Cleveland, our
last Democratic president, have the
prices of all foodstuffs been so high.
Saying Wilson's defeat would mean
the return of the "old guard" is only
an okl Democratic excuse. G. Ma

SUPREMACY OF CULINARY
PROFESSION. Speakinsr on the
principle that the greatest wealth is
health, and quoting from one of the
greatest physicians of his time,
namely Bennett, who wrote as far
back as 1858, that of all the cures at
our disposal, attention to the quan
tity and quality of the food is far the
most important.
Now In whose province is it to see
to it that the food is wholesome and
well prepared if it is not that of
those who have charge of its prepa
ration, handling and distribution?
Therefore it logically follows that the
preventive method, that is, the care
fuf"and scientific preparation of food,
has pre-eminence over the curative
method. , '
In recent years both legislative
and scientific investigation of certain
aspects of the composition and nu
tritive value of food have undergone
exceptional development. So far so
good, but as there are always two
sides to a question the fact remains
thatsuch legislative and scientific in
vestigations are merely a one-legged
proposition, as it has left out the
most important side of said question,
that is, the impartial and systematic
investigation of ttib conditions of
iorking sanitatiQn and ofjiving pf 1
those who handle and prepare that
inert substance, namely the food
products.
In every line of business there are
always present unscrupulous persons
ready to take a sneaky advantage of
the good nature Ignorance or stupid
ity of others in order to rise them
selves to prestige and fat salaries and
therefore overshadowing those who
are really entitled to the credit, but
despoiled of it by those sly schenters.
Are we, the workers of- the cater
ing industry, impotent to change
that abominable state of affairs? We
most certainly are if we want to. Be
cause if the employers find it neces
sary and beneficial to their interests
to associate, right and reason com
mand us to do the same, and by dili
gent educational and legitimate
means, also the acquirement of more
technical and professional knowl
edge, we can restore to that industry
to which we belong its proper" rank
and prestige as one of the foremost
of all liberal and scientific profession
extant -Leon Pescheret, Oak For

ALMIGHTY AND ELECTRICITY.
Permit me to suggest to Mr.
Sweetland that his assertion "If a
creator is proven it must be by some
other method than by comparing it
to electricity" will not "hold." While
this "comparison is not necessary to
the developed and thinking mind, to
show the existence of a creator, it
is nevertheless the best illustration
to use in,, behalf of those who cannot
believe unless they can see and feel.
Electricity cannot be seen, either
in the lightning, the sparks from a
trolley wire or elsewhere; it cannot
be felt when you stroke the cat's fur.
What can be seen and felt is the ef
fect of electricity. Electricity is the
creator, the power; the sparks, the
light, the heat, the physical sensa
tions, are the result of this unseen
force which man can control, but
cannot fully understand.
And throughout all the ages there:
