Chamberlain's Tablets.

These tablets are intended especially
for indigestion and constipation. They
tone up the stomach and enable it to
perform it's functions naturally. They
act gently on the liver and bowels,
thereby restoring the stomach and
bowels to a healthy condition. When
you feel dull, stupid and constipated
give them a trial. You are certain to
be pleased with their effect.

Vocational Board Is
Declared Incompetent
War Cripples Assert Funds Are
Wasted While They Wait In
Vain for Training

Disabled soldiers who have been wait
ing, penniless, for months to be placed
under the care Of the widely adver-
tised government vocational training
system are now demanding another in
vestigation of the Federal Vocational
Board on the ground that its chiefs
are incompetent and that funds are
being wasted while the men whom the
government desired to care for depend
on the charity of friends and relatives
This was announced here yesterday by
Robert f. Browning, field repres enta-
tive of the Association of Disabled Sol
diers, Sailors and Marines
The Federal board was investigated
once before. Some of its officials were
found to be drawing two salaries, said
Browning, and men dependent upon the
pay to be provided during the period
Of training are held up for the con-
venience of favorite schools
The Federal bureau, according to
Browning, has 1000 clerks, but no
more than 5000 of the lbs, 900 disabled
men eligible for training have been
placed in schools in the last seven
months.
eve have asked the President for a
thorough non-political investigation of
the board" said Mr.. Browning yester-
day. 1--WE have told Mr.. Wilson the
officials of this board have lost the
confidence of the thousands of men
who are members of our association
and who believe the funds provided
by Congress for their rehabilitation are
unWisely expended"

Request of Revenue Depart.
ment Anticipates Measure
to Commemorate Owners

Liquor dealers throughout the coun-
try have been asked by the Internal
Revenue Department to report the
amount of whiskey, wines and cordials
they had in stock on July 1. This
action is in anticipation of bill which
is to be introduced in Congress to
compensate owners of distilled bever-
ages.
Liquor men are of several minds re-
garding the step. If they report faith
fully the quantity on hand July 1, and
a government agent comes around to
check it up and finds a deficiency,
they wonder if the dealers will be liza
bic to prosecution for illegally dispos-
ing of spirits. Some liquor owners are
opposed to selling out to the govern.
ment at normal figure when they be-
lieve they can get fancy prices for their
product during the interim between
war prohibition and the operation of
the Eighteenth Amendment.
The Association Opposed to National
Prohibitions calls the proposed legisla-
ton to reimburse liquor owners tardy.
prohibition laws as they now
stand" says a statement, "were passed
without provision to appropriate
money to buy up the stocks They prob
ably would never have been passed if
such provisions had been made. Many
state legislatures would never have
ratified the Eighteenth Amendment had
it carried a clause for reimbursing
owners"
