Soldiers Bonus Legislation i'm Congress

4 LL chance of the passage of sol "A diers' bonus legislation next win ter seems to have gone glimmering. Failure of the party platforms to de clare for the proposition seems to have destroyed all hopes of favorable action by congress.
 Supporters of the bonus bill had relied implicitly on the political con- ventionS taking stand on the sub ject They had gone on the theory that political pressure from the ex- service men would be so strong that both parties would be sure to declare for some form of adjusted compensa- ton.
 The soldiers bonus bill as passed by the house a week before the recent ad- iournment is pending in the senate committee on finance. The committee has given the bill no consideration and may prefer to allow it to Slumber without action during the coming ses- sion. Officers of the American Legion however, are certain to agitate and probably will force the committee to report khe bill to the floor of the sen ate.
 Even in case the bill in some mirac- ulous manner should get through the senate and a conference report is ap- proved by both houses it's veto by President Wilson Is considered cer- tain. The administration view of the proposal has been made clear through letter sent by Secretary of the

You May Now Do Business With Russians

If trade is actually resumed with Russia, 1t apparently will have to be conducted through the cooperative societies in the soviet nation. These societies. which have a membership of 20,000000, furnish the only known medium for the resumption of trade between the United States and the territory controlled by the Moscow government.
 Whether the soviet authorities are willing to have the co-operativeS car ry on trade with the United States and other nations which have not ex- tended any form of political recogni- ton to the Lenin and Trotzky regime remains to betdiscIosed.
 So far as the United States is con- cerned, all restrictions on trade have been lifted except as to articles sus- ceptible of immediate use for war pur- poses If Americans have anything they desire to ship to Russia, they are free to do so with this one limitation, while Russians may ship out anything Americans will take.

 It's known that the party reached Hawaii July Il and left two days later. Later advices from Shanghai said China was preparing an elaborate program for the party of 136 mem bers." Special trains were to be placed at the disposal of the visitors through Nanking,< on to Picking and to Mukden, where the members of the party would become guests of the Japanese government, and would be taken on an extended sightseeing tour through Korea and later through Japan. Everywhere banquets, recep~ tions, excursions of varlous kinds, presentations and other affairs were being arranged.
 Newspaper men were invited to make the trip with the congressman, so that there could be publicity for the trip and articles written to pro mote better understanding between the countries.

rcsts and Doctors Astonished A Wonderful Power of Nicotol
 To Stop the Use of Tobacco
To Detect Harmful Effects of Tobacco
 Try These Simple Tests

ticle have been very favorable" Dr. Conner, formerly of Johns Hopkins Hospital, tells how to detect the harm ful effects of tobacco. Here is what he says: Many men who smoke, chew or snuff necessarily and who are seemingly healthy are suffering from progressive organic ailments. Thou sands of them would never have been affected had it not been for the use of tobacco to excess, and thousands would soon get well if they would stop. The chief habit forming prin- ciple of tobacco is nicotine, deadly poison which when absorbed by the system, slowly affects the nerves, membranes, tissues and vital organs of the body. The harmful effect of tobacco varies and depends on cir cumstances. One will be afflicted with geenral debility, others with ca tarrh of the throat, indigestion, con- stipation, extreme nervousness, sleep lessness, loss of memory, lack of will power, mental confusion, etc. Others may suffer from heart disease, bron- chial trouble, hardening of the arte- ries, tuberculosis, blindness or even cancer or the common affliction known as tobacco heart. If you use tobacco to excess in any form you can easily detect the harmful effects, by making the following simple tests |:
 Read aloud one full page from book
 If in the course of reading your voice becomes untitled, hoarse and indis- tinct and you must frequntly clear your throat, the chances are that your throat is affected by catarrh and it may be the beginning of more serious trouble. Next, in the morning before taking your usual smoke, walk

up three flights of stairs at a repu- lar pace, then stop. If you find that you are out of breath, vour heart peat IS forced, trembling or irregular you may be victim of functional ol organlc heart trouble. Ii you feel that you must smoke, chew or snuff to qulet your nerves, you are slave to the tobacco habit and are positively poisoning yourself with the deadly drug, nicotine. In either case won have just two alternatives Keep on With the self poisoning process ire spectlve of the dangers and suffer the consequences; or give up the hab- It and escape the dangers. You can overcome the craving and stop the haolt III very short time by using the following inexpensive formula. Go to any drug store and ask for Nicotol tablets, take one tablet after each meal, and in a comparatively short tune you will have no desire for to- bacco-the craving will have left you With the nicotine poison out of your system, your general health will quick ly improve"
 Note-When asked about Nicotol tablets one of our leading druggists said: "lt is truly a wonderful rem edy for the tobacco habit; away ahead of anything we have ever sold before We are authorized by the manufac- turers to refund the money to every dissatisfied customer, and we would not permit the use of our name unless the remedy possessed unusual mer- it." Nicotol tablets are sold in this city under an iron-clad money back guarantee by all up-to-date druggists including w. L. Dewoody and Mann. Tankersley.

Don't worry and complain about

they are. Here's a convincing case.

"My kidneys were in a weakened

ache in my back just over my kid

trouble worse, and caused me great
agony. The kidney secretions were
very profuse and were accompanied
by a scalding sensation. After other
medicines had failed to help me,
used Doan's Kidney Pills, procured
at Hollander's Pharmacy and they
strengthened my kidneys and helped
me generally"

PRESENT A SOLID FRONT
FOR PROGRESS.

For more than seventeen year
the writer has participated Il
practically every "booster ban
quet." "get together" meeting
and all that sort Of thing II
Chickasha and here is the verdict
reached after mature dehbera-
ton: in actual results the meet
ing of the Chamber Of Commerce
Wednesday evening was the most
effective ever held.
The meeting was remarkable
for the fine spirit manifested
throughout, for the completeness
of the reports of various commit
tees, for the number present and,
most Of all, because it accom-
plishcl precisely what was plan
ned
Those gentlemen who have the
habit Of "cussing" the Chamber
of Commerce for what it doesn't
do, had they been present,
must have been sadly disillusion-
ed by the reports presented.
These reports showed an amount
of activity and some solid accom-
plishment which were really sur
prising.
To carry ON the work Of the
Chamber of Commerce the coming !
year, a budget of $4,000 was
submitted. The finance commit
tee endeavored to fairly appor-
ton this amount among the vari-
Gus business firms and citizens.
The fact that the meeting by t
rising vote approved the appor-
tionment speaks well for the man
ner in which the committee did
its work as well as for the spirit
of the members of the organiza-
tion.
Chickasha made remarkable
progress during the past year and
it is decreed that the present year
is going to see far greater things
come to pass. With ample fin
ancial support practically assur-
ed, the Chamber Of Commerce is
bound to be a powerful agency in
promoting the progress of the
city. The citizen who was not
present at the meeting last night
should make it a point to call at
the office of the chamber and
sign up. Tn the face of the Won
derful opportunities presented,
this is the year when Chickasha
must present a solid front.
