NEWS PRINT PROBE REOPENING DENIED Trade Commission Has No Appropriation to De-
 fray Expenses
By Associated Frees

Washington, March s-The federal trade commission late today denied the application of newspaper publishing in terests for reopening it's investigation of news print paper costs and prices.
 While holding that it might have the right to reopen the matter the commis- sion announced that it was without funds t oconduct an inquiry into costs and that to conduct an inquiry into costs and that lures without authority from Congress
 Publishers representatives asked for the reopening on the ground that there had been decrease in prc5uction costs since maximum prices were liked in agreement with the commission last sum- mer. Former Attorney General Wicker sham, appearing for the publishers on March 21, declared this already had been proven by investigation in Canada.
 Henry A. Wise, counsel for the manu- facturers, argued that the agreement could not be changed and that the com mission had information concerning the Canadian companies before reaching it's original decision.
 In acting on the request of the pub fishers, the commission did not go into the merits of the case, but based it's de- cision on the ground that it would mean 'an expenditure in the determination of costs, in excess of available appropria tion, which this commission cannot legal ly incur without authority of Congress"

Why Children Have Bad Tonsils

From '"Tonsils," by Edwin F. Bowers, M.
 D., in Physical Culture.
 The treatment of bad tonsils" should begin in childhood. There is no more reason why children should have hy- pertrophied tonsils than there is for hav- ing any other of the diseases of child hood. Those children which are overfed from the day of their birth and are given meat, potatoes. puddings, pie, cake and otEer cereal products, soon after weaning. and often before that period, most com- monly suffer from "tonsils." Warm water ba thing. overheated houses. lack of ex- ercise, fresh air and sunshine, and sup pression of acute diseases, all tend to a retention of poison and congestion of mucous membranes, and hense "colds" and tonsilitis.
 Milk and fruit juices should be the sole diet of a child up to two years, and then fruits, juicy vegetables, nuts, and very few Of the cereals should gradually be added.
