BALDWIN WANTS
MEMBERS TO WORK
Speaker Says That He Will
Enforce the Rule Against
Absence if Necessary

Speaker Richard j. Baldwin, of the
State House of Representatives, is
now requesting that the members of
the House give all their attention to
legislative matters and that the COM
mittees get down to hard work and
dispose of the mass of bills accumu-
lated during the weeks of the session
that have gone into history. The
Speaker also is asking that a full at
tendance of all members be seen from
now on and in short is outlining a
program to the members that can not
fail TO bring results that are bene-
cial to the public.
Referring to the great mass of the
citizenship, the Speaker is reiterating
his former utterances concerning in
creased appropriations for the schools
of the State and especially the schools
in the sparsely settled communities
where it is a hardship to keep them
up. He Is strongly in favor of the
school appropriation item and also
for good roads and anything that will
have a direct and beneficial bearing
on the good roads proposition in
Pennsylvania. Having made study
of State questions and the financial
aspect of government, the Speaker
thinks that there are several millions
of dollars used in the State that could
be diverted to more pressing and
appealing projects than for which the
money is expended now but a direct
statement from him on this question
will hardly be forthcoming until later
in the session.
With the subject of general legis-
lation the first proposition that will
claim general attention in the near
future is the Vickerman Local Option
bill which will be given a public hear

ASTHMA
Simple Harmless Remedy Brings
Quick Relief. Makes Breathing
Easy

Many cases of immediate relief and
rapid recovery from Bronchial Asth-
ma of long standing are being credited
to a discovery made by DR.. Eugene
Howard of Worcester, Mass. DR..
Howard's prescription is called OXi-
daze and comes in the form of tab
let which the patient allows to dis
solve slowly in the mouth. It's cura-
tive, healing juices thus mingle with
the saliva and open up the air pas
sages and regulate the spasmodic lung
action. These tablets, though pleas
ant to the taste, are so powerful and
rapid that many users who for years
were obliged to sit up in bed gasping
for breath and unable to sleep report
that they now put a single OXidaze
tablet in their mouth when going to
bed and can then lie down and breathe
easily and naturally and get a good
nights restful sleep. George A. Cor
gas and many other local druggists
handle OXidaZe tablets on the positive
guarantee of money back if it does not
give immediate relief.-Adv.

BILLS OF SALE TO
GO WITH VEHICLES
Measure Designed to Break Up
the Practice of Selling
Stolen Cars

A bill designed to make traffic in
stolen automobiles an impossibility
was introduced in the House last night
by Representative Michael Smith Ben
nett, of Philadelphia. The method
provided by the law is to require q bill
of sale to accompany every automobile
sold and the bill of sale must be the
original paper from the manufacturer
of the machine or his agent.
The measure provides that every
manufacturer, dealer and individual
on the consummation of the sale of
any automobile within the Common
wealth shall deliver to the purchaser
of such motor vehicle bill of sale and
in case of any resale of such motor
vehicle all prior bills of sale shall be
delievered to the last purchaser Each
bill of sale from vendor to vendee shall
contain therein a notation of any
changes which may have been made
on said motor vehicle while the ven
dor had title thereto. 1t shall be the
duty of each person purchasing n
motor vehicle to demand from the
vendor a bill of sale for such vehicle
and all other bills of sale in the
hands of the vendor showing the title
to such motor vehicle from the time
it left the hands of the manufacturer.
Any vendor who shall on the con-
summation of any sale of a motor We
hicle within the Commonwealth, fail
to deliver to the vendee the bill or bills
of sale as provided, and such automo-
bile shall subsequently be proven to
have been stolen shall be guilty of
misdemeanor and upon conviction
shall be liable to a fine of not more
than $500 or imprisonment in the
county jail not exceeding six months
The same penalty applies in the case
of any buyer of an auto proven to
have been stolen who is unable to
produce a bill or bills of sale.

You do not want a slow treatment
for itching scalp when hair is falling
and the dandruff germ is killing the
hair roots. Delay means-no hair.
Get, at any drug store, a bottle of
zemo for 25c or $l.00 for extra large
size. Use as directed, for it does the
work quickly. 1t kills the dandruff
germ. nourishes the hair roots and inn
mediately stops itching scalp. It is
a pure, reliable, antiseptic liquid is not
greasy is easy to use and wifi not stain.
Soaps and shampoos are harmful, as
they contain alleali. The best thing to
use for scalp irritations is zemo, for It
is safe and also inexpensive.
