Milk as a food is one of the greatest importance. We are told that a quart of milk should be used daily for each member of the family before any meat is purchased. In thousands of homes where there are little children, milk, because it has increased in price, has been cut down to barely a pint per family. while meat which Is considered such a necessity is bought regardless of price. Milk, even at 15 cents a quart, is the cheapest protein food we can buy. Skim milk, which sells for half the price of whole milk, makes a most wholesome food and may be used in hundreds of dishes in which the whole milk was thought necessity. It is both unwise and false economy to save on milk and spend it on meat and more expensive pri-tel- n ' products.

Mr. Wilson dined the committeemen and was frank, jovial and enthusiastic, and answered all their questions freely, but after it was all over the wise ones declared that he had not converted a single one of the opponents of the league. These Include both Republicans and Democrats, and during the rest of the week they continued their attacks on the plan. The spokesmen of the administration replied vigorously, but thece was reason to believe that nearly every member of the senate, which must pass on the plan, had his mind made up. . In his Boston speech the president told the people very little about the 'eague, but in brilliant phrases he appealed, to the country to support the plan, declaring that the rest of the .vorld relied on America at this juncture. In this he Is corroborated by the British press, which shows some anxiety over the opposition manifest In this country, and some fear that America will not be willing to assume" her share of the burden of governing the world. It Is recognized, abroad and at home, that the American people might look askance at any proposition that they accept mandates for such territories as the former German, colonies in Africa, and the president says that in Paris he firmly discouraged tuny such idea ; but he thinks the United States might well become the mandatory for the Armenians. As for the newly organized nations of Europe,' he says it is up to America to stand by them, whether or not the league of nations Is formed. In France the opposition to the league,- based ostensibly on the lack 'of a binding provision for the use of force to put its mandates Into effect, has largely died out because the critics feared (hat opposition there and In America would kill the entire project.
