SPIRITUAL HELP EXTOLLED.
Concerning America's entry into
the present big conflict, an Italian
author of note says:
"All of this for us should be a
comfort, hot only In words but in
substance and effect. We talk enough
of the material help we are receiv
ing from America; we talk, on the
other hand, too little of the moral
support she is holding out. This 1b
essential as well in a war as long ax
ours in which, If the spirit Is not
always willing, the flesh may prove
weak and give out. - . -
"America tells us that our ideals
rest upon truth and Justice, that the
cause for which we fight is not foi
passing objects, for opportunism, or
for passing needs, which are easily
satisfied, but a cause involving eter
nal rlghtB which once lost can be re
covered only by groat' effort made by
generation after generation through
many ages.
"The gift America brings us Is n
' treasure beyond All price. It Is the
reason why wo Bhall conquer and
live. It gives us faith that our dead
have not died for us In vain, and In
all the future which shines bright
ly on the other sldo of the ntroclout
field of battle.
"She brings us In her strong
hands our own hoart, armed and
equipped by her, through her hun
dred millions of men who ure free.''
Senator Knuto Nelson, of Minne
sota, one of those level-headed,
thrifty, descendants of the Norse
men, said In the senate recently that
he received a lottor from a lady In
Iowa saying that thore were women
travelling around the state giving
instructions to the farmers' wives
how to make cottage cheese. They
claimed to bo employes of the gov
ernment and were getting $8 a day
and their expenses, She wrote Sena
tor 'Nelson Inquiring whether thai
was true. She felt that, If true, It
was a groat pleco of extravagance.
Sonator Nolson says he referred the
lottor to one of the executive depart
ments for information on the subject
and got no roply. Ho wanls to
know whether tho government 1b
paying women $8 a day and expenses

cottago cheese. After the depart
ment of Justice gols through prose
cuting the profiteers and after poli
tics gots through with Its adjourn

answer to Ills inquiry.
