Improper Treatment Leads to :
Serious Stage.

Because you have doubtless been
fairly comfortable through the
mild summer months, and free
from the soreness and irritation of
the membranes, do not make the
mistake of thinking that you are
rid of your Catarrh. For if you
suffered with this disease last win
ter, it will again be with you in all
its severity unless you have elm
mated entirely from the blood the
germs which cause the disease.
Are you going to further temper
ize with disease that leads to
such serious condition? Don't
you know that you can use gallons
upon gallons of local treatment
without the slightest permanent
benefit? just give the matter lit
tie careful thought, and you will
realize that it is but a waste of
time and money, besides seriously
jeopardizing your health, to con-
tinue a method of treatment that
has proven of so little value in
making any real progress toward
genuine benefit.
First of ali find out just what
causes your Catarrh. If it was
merely local irritation and in
hammation of the delicate Innings

What Are You Going to
Do About Your Catarrh?

expect to be cured by the use of
local remedies. But have you ever
known of one single person to be
freed from the slavery of Catarrh
by any kind of local treatment?
Why? Simply because they have
overlooked the cause Of these
symptoms, and hence the treat
ment has been instructed. Re-
move the cause of the clogged up
accunlulat atoms that choke up your
air passages, and they viii natur-
ally disappear for good. But no
matter how many local applica-
tons you use to temporarily clear
them away, they promptly reap
pear and will continue to do SO
until their cause is removed.
But if you will take Treatments
that goes right down to the very
source of the disease and attacks it
at its starting point, then you are
on the right track, and can expect
results. S. S. S., the fine old fifty
year old blood remedy is an anti
dote TO the millions of tiny Ca
tarrh germs with which your blood
is infested. Don't waste further
time by continuing a treatment
that can make no progress toward
permanent relief, but begin to take

EMERGENCY TARIFF
 ID ASSIST FARMER
 IS DECIDED UPON
Measure Intended to Serve as Embargo on Importation of Certain Products for One
 Year Period
By Associated Press

Washington, December 17.-Congres- sional leaders decided today that ;he way out of the maze of farmer relief bills was enactment of an emergency tariff to run for one year and to act as an embargo against importations It would apply to wheat, cotton, wool po- tatoes, beans, live stock and meats
 Agreement of the legislative leaders was reached at a joint conference of members of the Senate finance and House ways and means committee, at which the determination also was reached to press the proposed measure to speedy passage Actual drafting of the bill was started late in the day by members cf the ways and means committee
 Much discussion was evoked in the conference relative to choice between a flat embargo and a high tariff. out the House leaders held out against the employment of ban on importations in peace time, urging that the age-old GUS tom of no embargoes except in time of war be followed. Senate members of the conference declared that an embargo measure would be put through their branch of Congress more easily than n high tariff bill, but they finally assured the House conferees that they would use all of their influence to push the meas ure through as soon as it was received from the House.
 RATES NOT DISCUSSED
 The subject of the rates to be embod- jed in the tariff measure was not di- rectly discussed at the conference Mem bers of the House committee which will draft the bill were informed that the rates would be left entirely to them and that whatever they were able to have passed by the House and Senate con ferees would try to keep intact. Ex- pIanation was made that the reason the conference attempted no decision on rates was that such a discussion might have resulted in breach and the de- struction of the whole programme, The suggestion was understood to have been made by democratic members of the conference that they seek an expression of views of the President with respect to the relief tariff Republicans. however, strongly opposed such move, the con tention being made that it would not be known whether the bill could be passed until the final roll cali. and further, that the measure might not go to the Presi- dent in the form now proposed.
 A tentative bill by Representative Greene, republican, Iowa, has been prac- Itically accepted as the basis for the meas- ure for which early passage will be sought. The ways and means commit tee probably will take it up early next l. week although several members began work on 1t immediately.

CONCENTRATE THE BOOZE
Kramer Lays Difficulties Before Ways
 and Means Committee
By Associated Press

Washington, December 1T--The diff culties of prohibition enforcement nn- der the present wide distribution ot stored liquors were laid before the House ways and means committee to- day by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer. who appealed for Legislation designed to concentrate the stocks in T few government-controlle warehouses; houses.
 MT. Kramer said there were approxi- mately 40,000.000 gallons of liquor scattered over the country and that ii was "leaking" away at an alarming rate. He declared that if the with drawals from bonded warehouses. ex- cept for legitimate purposes. could be effectually. stopped, the supply would last for probably Is years" but that at the present rate of withdrawal these stocks might not last longer than two years. He added his belief that the bureau was holding its own in combating any growth of illicit dis. filling.
 Chairman Fordney asked the com missioner if he did not think that the cheapest way out for the taxpayers is to throw open these stocks of liquor and let the drinkers have one good ,orr drink
 MT. Cramer said that Christmas was coming and the subject had beer broached to him. but he had been un. able to find any way to do It.

TWO PLANS PRESENTED
Proposals Look Toward Alteration In
 Federal Reserve System
By Assoeiated Press

Washington, December 1.-Two sep arate proposals looking toward altera- tions in the federal reserve system in the interest of farmers were presented today in the Senate.
 Senator Hitchcock, democrat Ne- braska, presented bill to amend the federal reserve act so as to permit the Secretary of the Treasury to place the profits resulting from operations of the federal reserve system as special de- posits in such reserve banks as he might select. These deposits would re- main in the banks not to exceed one year and would be used to discount paper of member banks loaned on agri- cultural products or live stock.
 The second proposal and amendment to the federal reserve act offered by Senator Smith, democrat. Georgia. would make cotton factors pa aH'' eligible for discount at federal reserve banks.

COOLIDGE WILL BE
 GIVEN SEAT AT THE
 CABINET MEETINGS
Special Interest Aroused By Bryan'S Conference With Harding Which Was Held
 at Marion Yesterday
By ROBERT T. SMALL

Marion, O.. December t7.--tSpc-
 ciai.--Thc visit of the Vice Presi-
 dcnt-elect, Gov. Calvin Coolidge, fo
 Marion and confirmation by sena-
 tor Harding of his desire that the
 Vice President in the next admin
 istration should sit with the eabi-
 net in all of it's deliberations. has
 naturally caused much speculation
 as to whether that official can
 gracefully and "without cDtnr-
 sIing alliances" act as part of
 both the executive and Legislative
 branches Of the government.
 The Vice Presidents main function in tke administration is to preside over the deliberations of the Senate, and. in the event of a tie iE that body. he is privileged to cast the deciding vote on any question no matter how momentous. In these circumstances It would seem that the Vice Presldenr is regarded by the constitution as member of the legislative branches of the government up to the very time. If ever, he is called upon to replace the chief magistrate
 PLAN IS NOT NEW
 Any perturbauce the plan 60 have MT. Coolidge sit with the cabinet may have aroused however shows that the Americans are a people of very short memories The idea is not q new one. Nor is it aL old one. as plain matter ios fact it was in operation no longer than the Taft administrations, which began in 1909 and ended in 1913, whem the present occupants of the Whits House assumed the rens of goWern- ment.
 Mr Taft announced very soon after ahis election that he desired the Vice resident to become a member of his official family and to sit with the cahi-l net so that he might at all times be- informed as to the state of the union and the dignity and importance Of his office might be elevated thereby
 SHERMAN AS VICE PRESIDENT
 The Vice President at the time, it may be recalled, was Sunny Jim sherman. who died during the last year of his term of office. Mir. Sherman dit sit with the cabinet and with Presi- dent Taft and his doing so was re- garded generally as a very proper pro- ceeding. MT. sherman was not won away from the Senate or from. the Senate idea. l is a matter of history 1 that he was one of the most popular presiding officers that distinguished deliberative body ever had MT. sherman did not attend all of the cabinet meetings. Very often these meetings would have conflicted with more important duties at the capitol and he always regarded his constitu- | tional duty of presiding over the Sem | ate as paramount in public importance | He was al liberty, though at all times 1 hot only to attend but to participate 1 In the discussions of the cabinet as a co-equal member of that advisory | board.

.REAPP0RT|ON|NG OF
 ! HOUSE MEMBERSHIP IS DECIDED UPON
G. 0. P. Representatives Decide at Caucus Last Night to Put Through Bill at Present
 Session
By Associated Press

Washington, December 17.-Re-
 publican members of the House mt
 caucus tonight decided to put
 through Ut this session of Congress
 bill reapportiOning the member-
 ship of the House to correspond
 with increases in population. ms re-
 ported in the 1920 census.
 Representative Tinkham of Massa- chusetts urged the caucus to support his resolution directing the House cen asus committed to investigate to what extent negroes are being denied the vote in the southern states to recom- mend decrease in the representation in those states, according to the eX- tent of disenfranchisement.
 Opposition to the resolution was un- derstood to have been expressed in speeches made by Representatives Slemp of Virginia. Kahn of California and Mann of Illinois. Those opposing it were said to have pointed to the republican gains in the south in the last election and to have told the caucus that adoption of the resolution would olienate the south from the re- publican party.
 The caucus, at the conclusion of the discussion. by rising vote of 95 to 42. decided against supporting the resolu- tion. Representative Tinkham later announced he would attempt to bring up his resolution when the apportion- ment bill comes before the House.
 FAVOR INCREASE
 The definite basis for the reappor- tionment was understood not to have been decided on at the caucus. but most of the republican members were said to favor a reasonable increase in the House membership.
 Drafting of a reapportionment bill would be in the hands of the census committee, of which Representative Siegel of New York is chairman He has already prepared a bill increasing the House membership to 4S3. and this bill is expected to be the basis for the reapportionment legislation.
 The Siegel bill would make the popn- lation basis for a congressional dis trict between 21S,000 and 219.000 in- stead of approximately 21l 900 as at present Under the measure, no state would sustain loss in it's representa- ton in the House, and 25 states would gain in representation.
 The vote by which the caucus de- cided to take up reapportionment legis- lation at this session was reported as 1O6 to 61. Representative Seigel and other republican members were said to have favored making a membership of 4s3, as provided in the pending bill the permanent maximum.
