There Was Nothing So Good for
Congestion and Colds
as Mustard

But the old-fashioned mustard plaster
burned and blistered while it acted. You
can now get the relief and help that

MUSTEROLE does it. It is clean,

that it works wonders, and yet does not
blister the tenderest skin.
Just massage MUSTEROLE in with

it brings relief--how speedily the pain
disappears.

Standing of the Clubs.
BASEBALL NOTES

Prominent buildings il Chicago are TO
have flags displayed TO indicate whether
the game scheduled for the Cubs on that
/ particular afternoon Is to be played.
Charles Weeghman, whose idea it is, no
doubt hopes TO display a different sort
Of a flag at the end Of the season.
Three Giants are kept on the injured
list which the club is allowed to carry
outside the q player limit. Lew Wen
dell, catcher, Hans Lobert and Ferdie
Schupp, pitchers, are the men.
Carrigan has made an offer to Bugs
I0'Connor, pitcher of the Manhattan col
lege team. O'Connor has excellent speed
and control and has had four years ex-
perience with the Manhattan team.
The Sunday game at Bridgeport was
the first game played on the Sabbath in
which a league team representing Port
land, Me, ever participated.
The Giants games are to begin at 3 40
o'clock from now on instead of $3.50. as
formerly. The Giants apparently believe
in late start in more ways than one.
AT least they are being consistent.
A trolley etrike in Pittsburg threatens
to be the cause Of calling off some of the
Pirates games slated for Forbes field
Although Benny Kautf of the Giants is
admitted to be a first class ball player.
it is not yet certain that he is the equal
OF George Burns, Zach Wheat or Max
Carey as an outfelder of all-round value
to his club.
Hal Chase is rapidly becoming as popu-
lar with the fans in Cincinnati as he was
once with the fans on the Hilltop.
Meyer, the young substitute for Wals
lie Schang of the Athletics, is showing |
up well. II looks as if Connie had land.
ed another good youngster.
Graney, Speaker and Roth combine to |
make one of the speediest outfields in the |
country, for the Cleveland club.
Eddie Ainsworth is etching fine |
game for the Senators. GrifT tried to sell |
him before the season opened but did not
get an offer
Wffdness on the part of the Cincinnati
pitchers seems TO give that team a lot of
trouble in keeping up. Hard hitting is
necessary TO overcome the handicap of
passed men on their opponents side.
Joe Connolly is still Brave, though
-umor had him joining the Reds.

ASKS INCOME
TAX INQUIRY
Heating Resolution Calls on Secretary
McAdoo to Furnish State
ment.

Washington. May 4.-Secretary OF the
Treasury McAdoo is directed TO furnish
Congress with a statement showing
whether or not S32o,000,000 is being
annually withheld from the treasury by
income tax frauds and evasions," in a
resolution offered in the House yesterday
by Representative Edward Heating OF
Colorado.
McAdoo, by the same resolution, il
asked why he has not recommended TO
the president that all income tax returns
be made public, in order that fraud may
be checked. The law provides the presi-
dent may order such publicity, on recon-
mendation of the secretary.
Heating said he based his resolution on
charges by Basil NJ Manly, who was
chief investigator for the industrial rela-
tions commission. Manly in published
statements in papers throughout the
country, has declared S40l $4,000 should
be received annually from the income
tax. instead of the $50, 10000 actually
collected.

ate committee on postoifices and post
roads-whcb virtually means Congress,
for Democratic and Republican members
alike have been laying for" the auto
cratic cabinet officer and will welcome a
test of strength. This sensational situa-
ton has been precipitated over the pneu-
matte mail tube contracts, but the action
of the postmaster general in this case IS
only one in long line of incidents which
have compelled congressman to realize
that the postolfice department will run
all over them unless a halt is called. The
efforts of the postmaster general to drive
an unfair railway mail pay bill through
Congress were preceded by his arbitrary
reorganization Of rural routes in such
manner, congressman charge, as to cripple
the service of their districts and embar
rass them with their constituents with
out any corresponding benefit TO any
thing but the bookkeeping accounts in
the postoffice department. Over these
sheets. it may be needless to say, con
gressmen are not VIGOROUSLY concerned.
The ugly situation between the post
master general and the committee of
which Senator Bankhead of Alabama is
has been shaping up for long
time, or since the postmaster general in
the last Congress ignored the recommen-
dations Of the Bourne commission, of
which Senator Bankhead and Senator |
Weeks of Massachusetts,, both on the |
postoffice committee, We're members, and |
sent up railway mail pay bill of his |
own with orders to pass it. This meas |
ure, known as the Moon bill retained the |
structure of the Bourne scheme but ar |
established rates of compensa
ton materially lower than those pro-
posed by the Bourne commission The
bill went through the House as rider
On the general appropriation bill in the
last session and the same trick was
worked successfully this year. Senator
Bankhead has a railway mail pay bill Of
ais own before his committee, which
Postmaster General Burleson is doing his
oest to kill Naturally the legislative
oranch objects to dctation by the ex
,cutiye. The railroads have appeared in
orce before the Senate committee in OPP
position to the Moon bill and have urged
hat the whole subject of railway mail
1ay be referred TO the interstate com
nerce commission, a suggestion with
which a majority of the committee prob
lbly are in sympathy. but which Mr..
3urleson bitterly opposes.
