RIGID ECONOMY
ADVOCATED BY
FLOOR LEADER
MOndell of Wyoming Criti-
cises Wilson Administra-
ton for "UnfathOmable
Inconsistency"

Washington, Dec. 16.-Urging rig
i'd economy" in appropriations for gov
ernment expenses during the next fis-
cal year in order to tighten the tax
burden, Representative Mondell Of wy
oming, Republican leader, declared in
the house today that the total estimate
of s4,653, 800, 900 submitted by the sec
retary of the treasury should be re-
duced by approximately s1,4OO, 900.
This reduction he said must be effected
chiefly by a drastic scaling down in
estimates for the army and navy
and also for sundry civil expenses, the
total Of which, he pointed out, ex-
ceeded current appropriations by more
than s914,OOO, 900.
Criticising the administration for
the "unfathomable inconsistency" in
the estimates submitted to congress
and the plea for economy made by the
president and the secretary of the
treasury" Mr.. Mondell declared he
would "leave it to others to properly
characterize these estimates"
Two years after the war;" the Re-
publican leader said, when the world
outside our borders is largely bank
rupt and everybody is praying for
reduction of armaments the admins
tration asks for an appropriation of
more than $1,4l4,00 900 for the army
navy and Notifications, or five and
half times the highest peace time
appropriation of 1916"
Asserting that If the economy in ap-
preparations advocated by him was
carried out the tax burden for the
calendar year 1921, might be sub
stantially lightened," Mr.. Mondell said
he believed continuation of tax pro-
gram designed to raise a minimum
revenue of 1000, 1000 900 for two years
as recommended by the secretary of
the treasury, was ''unjustified.' 1t is
not justified, he added even for one
year"
While he favored repeal Of the ex-
cess profits tax and reduction of the
higher income sur-taxes air. Mondell
said he thought it unnecessary at this
time to consider alternative revenue
provisions because no one can tell
what increased revenue had accrued
before the passage OF a tariff bill
along protective lines"

Parliament Will Stand Pat

NATIONAL CAMPAIGN
TO ESTABLISH PEACE
CONFERENCE CALLED FOR DE-
CEAiBER 20 WHEN RETURN OF
WHlTE-WINGED ANGEL WILL
BE COURTED BY ALL

Londor, Dec. 16.-Amendments to
the Irish home rule bill made in the
house Of lords during the last two
weeks are ready for consideration by
the house of commons when it met
today. After the bill had been sent
to the upper house of parliament and
that body was bent on making ma
terial alterations in the measure, in
timations were given that any amend
ment made by the lords would be
stricken out by the commons, but
there appeared to be sentiment in
some quarters in favor of going as
far as possible to meet any objections
which developed during the debate
Of the bill by the house of lords.
There seemed to be a probability
that the temperance of the home
rule bill might be made an occasion
for debate on the Irish situation gen.
orally. Liberal members of commons
have asserted that acquiescence by
parliament should be secured before
the government puts into Jopera-
ton such serious measure as de-
claring martial law over large
section of ireland.

it seems the work Of arriving at n
verdict has been more difficult than
was at first expected.

ned to start a national campaign to

PRES|DENT-ELECT
KEEPS FIRST PRE-
ELECTION PROMISE
Harding COnfers with Cool
idge Making Vice Presi.
dent Real Factor in
GOernment

Marion, Ohio, Dec. 16.-Making
good another OF his campaign
pledges, President-elect Harding
today sought the advice of Vice
President-elect Coolidge on the
problems and policies of the com
ing administration.
Although the plan for an asso-
citation OF nations is understood
to have been one OF the principal
points TO be discussed at the con-
ference.
1t is known that Governor Cool
idge's invitation to Marion was
prompted in large part by ,the
desire of the president-elect to
secure his advice on various do
mestic questions.
One Of Mr.. Hardings first an
nouncements after his nomination,
was his promise OF a more active
part for the vice president in the
next administration, and now that
actual experience has brought
home to him the wide range of
subjects with which president
must deal, he is understood to be
even more anxious to let Mr.. Cool
idge share some Of the admins
tration's responsibility.
If any plan has been worked
out to delegate definite subjects
TO the vice president for investi-
cation or decision, however, Mr..
Harding has not revealed it even
to his close advisers 1t is thought
more likely that Mr.. Coolidge
will be asked to act in a general
capacity and will be entrusted
from time to time with important
special missions.
Arriving early in the forenoon.
the governor was to spend several
hours with MIR. Harding before
returning east.

DEW HAS WALKING EFFECT
Abundant Proof That 1t Possesses In
MIGRATING Action That Affects
Growth Of Plants.

Dew is vitalizing, not sentirely be-
cause it is water but because it pos
sesses an invigorating action due part
ly at any rate to the fact that it is
saturated with oxygen, and it has been
stated that during its formation per-
oxide of hydrogen and some ozone. are
developed It is not improbable that
the peculiarly attractive and refresh
ing quality that marks the early-morn-
ing air has its origin in this way. The
difficulty of inducing grass to flourish
under tree in full leaf is well known
and is generally explained by saying
that the tree absorbs the nourishing
constituents of the soil or that it keeps
the sunlight away from the grass and
protects it from rain. 1t is doubtful
whether any of these explanations is
true, the real reason most probably
being that the vitalizing dew cannot
form upon the grass under tree,
whereas as rule both rain and light
can reach it.

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that ale ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
a medicinal prepare lion that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Svamp-Root, q
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large q
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
30 many people claim, that it ful6lls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralzes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Really ssRored to DeathD

The expression, 'bored to DEATH is
no mere fanciful figure. A person may
actually die from boredom. The Medi-
cal Press, III comml 4nting upon this
subject, refers to a statement by DIR.
W. Fl. r. Rivers, that interest in life
is the primary factor in the welfare of
the people" Doctor Rivers contends
that the dying out of native races is
due not so much to what the white
man has introduced in the shape Of
new diseases and new modes of cloth
ing, housing and feeding, as to the fact
that by Iprooting native institutions,
without providing adequate substi-
tates, ne has deprived them of nearly
all that gave interest to their lives"

COULDN'T FORGET THE GREEN
Mrs. FIannigan's Neat Expression Of
Loyalty to Her Native and Her

Mrs Flanagan for years has proud
~ exhibited from her front window
a row of geraniums, in pets wrapped
in bright, Irish green crepe paper,
says the Indianapolis News. But the
other day when her neighbor, whose
son was in France for several months,
pulled back her window curtain and
revealed her flower pots, decorated in
red, white and blue paper, Mrs. Flan-
nigan was visibly troubled. She wor-
ried and worried. 1t is quite hard to
be loyal to two countries at the same
time, yet Mrs. Flanagan desired to
be so.
Then one morning her wide Irish
smile came back to her face. And
passers-by saw in the Flanagan front
window row of flower pots brave in
red, white and blue coverings and ev-
cry covering was tied to the pot with
a wide band of green ribbon.
