easy Way To Stop Bad Cold
While You Work

\ cold these days is dangerous: a
cold Is fever or congestion that
should be stopped 1T once. The system
is wide open to germs OF al xmas
when you are that way. But you
need not wait until tonight to clear
I away. Need not wrap up take
stcamy baths. soak your feet-dose
yourself with drastic calomel and
spoil whole day.
To cleanse the bowels. stimulate the
liver is the first step and do that right
away. Take instead OF ono big blast
ing dose--a tiny dose at intervals
through the day. Tiny doses taken
every little while do the work gently,
without haste or hurry-no need to
be upset. no need to wait until to-
night--take one tiny dose right away.
II is the E-Z way. Just ask the drug
gist for a bottle of E-Z Tablets. One
now, another in an hour and perhaps
a couple more before bed tonight and
away goes cold, congestion, watery,

WOULD REMOVE TARIFF
FROM CANADIAN PAPER
House Democrats Propose Action to
Relieve Shortage-Smoot Scores
Senate Waste.

Democratic members of the House
Ways and Means Committee have sug.
gested the removal of all tariff duties
on Canadian print paper. but no ac
ton was taken. Some members said
such action would not increase the
supply for this country or lower
prices because existing contracts were
at prices within the duty-free clause
At the request of Congressman
Young, Republican, North Dakota, the
committee decided to ask the State
Department to send a representative
before II tomorrow to discuss the
Canadian paper situation. Young
complained that an embargo by the
Canadian government was curtailing
supplies.
While newspaper publishers were
searching everywhere for white pa
per, the Government used forty-eight
tons in printing speeches made in the
Senate, Senator Smoot, Republican,
Utah, declared yesterday.

The executive committee of the
association has invited Senator Bor-

the invitation.
1t was agreed that no active candi-

occasion. Many questions having di-

policy to be pursued by party pa

anything to cook. They buy every

SO0TTY RETURNS
FROM VISIT IN PORTLAND

w. H. Scott returned from Portland
last week, after a good visit with
Mrs. Scott and old friends of theirs
in the Rose city.
He says things are moving so fast
and there are so many Injuries on
all sides down on the coast, it seems
as if we are far behind the times
here. He says there are so many at
fractions in Portland, so many things
are free, like municipal band con-
certs, public parks and all sorts of
things free, or nearly free, it is no
wonder the young folks do not stay
on the farms. The city is overrun
with humanity, and the farms are
nearly deserted at harvest time and
crops going to waste for want of
hand labor. He has been farmer
himself and had to or did give it up
as too expensive luxury to work
eighteen hours day and come out
in debt at the end of the season
because of the high cost and low
production as one gets it from hired
help.
Mr.. Scott says that people are fol-
lowing their wants and not their
reason. They are looking for the
present luxury regardless of conse-
quences. The certain pinch of next
winter has no terrors for them if
they get what they want today. One
thing that impressed him everywhere

no market, or so low a market that
the cost of harvesting and hauling
to market cannot be paid out of the
pay check for the crops. He was
very much impressed whit the vast
amount of wealth in evidence in evil
dence everywhere, but he wonders
where it would all go to over night
if something should happen.
Mr.. Scott is going out among the
oil wells in Wyoming.
