Has He Found a
Cure for Asthma ?
Simple Prescription Gives Instant Re

In New England, where Bronchial
Asthma, Bronchitis and other diseases
of the throat and lungs are so preva-
lent, remarkably successful results are
being reported following the use of a
new form of treatment known as Oxi-
daze, a physician IS prescription.
Oxidaze is harmless but powerful
combination of curative essential oils
concentrated and compressed into a
small tablet. One of these tablets slow
ly dissolved before going to bed seems
to have the effect of releasing the mus
cular construction of the bronchial
tubes, opening up the air passages and
regulating spasmodic lung action. This
enables the patient to breathe easily
and naturally while lying down and to
get comfortable nights sleep.
| SO much interest has been shown
that local druggists, including Brat
! tleboro Drug Co., have secured a small
supply and state that they are author
lied to refund the money paid for the
first package if in any case this new
treatment fails to give relief. Oxidazt
I is pleasant to take, contains no harm
+; full, habit forming drugs and is not ex
pensivc. This makes their test an easy

Refusing n plea by Secretary of
State Colby that action on the anti
Japanese land bill be postponed in
California until adequate effort
could be made to settle the ques-
tion by negotiation with Japan,
Gov. William D. Stephens, of Cali
fornia. yesterday personally in
formed the Secretary that nothing
short of an exclusion act to all
Japanese immigration into the

Secretary Colby insisted that if
the referendum could be withheld
he would undertake to obtain an
agreement which would solve the

time give no offensc to Japan.
He intimatcd that it might even

Consumers Get Coal at Cost.
Great Britain's annual profit in
exporting coal to the continent is
hot less than s33O,OOO. 600. This en-
abIes owners to sell coal 10 British
consumers at cost.
The demand Of the miners. now
being fought by both the owner"
and by the government, is that the
price of coal % English consumers
shall be reduced TO S2.40 per t"H,
and that the miners shall receive
an Increase in wages of 10 cents per
shift. The price reduction would

Robert Smillie, leader OF the
miners, says the demand is a direct
result of failure OF the government
to comply with the Sankey commits

alization of the mines.
The average pay OF the miners
for this year has been S22 per week.
Before, the war the average wage
was IS. Seven hours is, now a days

Battle Creek, Mich, Sept. 3.-Gov.
James NJ. Cox sought today to enlist
in behalf of his own cause the non
partisan sentiment of mothers and
fathers of Michigan for a league of
nations. He declared the choice to
be solely one of going in or staying
out of the world association of ma
tions. He aToalled for a popular
expression that would mean, he
said, America would keep faith with
the world.
Gov. Cox, in his address at Jack
son, ridicuied the proposal of SEN
ator Harding TO reconstitute the
Hague tribunal with the aid of some
provisions q the league of nations
covenant. You might as well
think of tying the wheels of an old
farm wagon to a Ford automobile
as to attempt to tie the organism
and instrumentalities of the league
of nations to the old Hague tri-
bunal." he declared.
Calls Ii Guarantee Against War.
In his Chatty personal speeches to
tn farmers and women and old men
who gathered about his car at eight
little Michigan towns, Gov. Cox
dweft on the league of nations as
the only guaranty against war.
From those brief speeches to lit
tie groups grouped about his plat
form, Gov. Cox shifted his pace and
appeared first at Toledo, in the
early morning, and later at Jack
son, at Lansing, at Battle Creek
and Kalamazoo as the vigorous
antagonist of the Senate Oligarchy.
Always he dwelt on his charges
that the Republican party was rails
ing a campaign fund of 5000. 900
to purchase the Presidency. He said
the effort was simply a brazen
scheme to "Newbcrryize the nation
by multiplying the Michigan cor
ruption. by forty-eiSht.I

Gov. Cox developed nothing new
to substantiate his charges.
