GERMAN SEAMEN
ENTERING u. S.
Are Shipping on American Bound YES
sells at Wages of One Cent
Month.
(sv The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-Numbers Of
Germans are shipping at German ports
on American bound vessels as seamen at
wages of one cent a month, Chairman
Lasker of the shipping board has advised
Secretary Davis in a letter made public
today. The belief was expressed by Sec
rotary Davis that the Germans are per-
mitted to land in this country as seamen,
and then flee to the interior. Until a
treaty is signed with Germany, it was
explained, it will not be legal for German
citizens to enter the United States.
The secretary said he expected to ask
that bill be introduced in congress re-
quiring the registration upon arrival of
all foreign seamen. There are probably
10000 Chinese in this country without
legal right to be here, he added, as a
result of their taking advantage of the
seaman's act, which permits foreign sea-
men to land at American ports.

RELIEF AT LAST
FOR CONSTIPATION
Science Discovers Cause and How to
Remove Ii.

Chronic constipation. which leads to
so many serious diseases such as dys-
pepsia, indigestion, biliousness, jaundice
gall stones, rheumatism, acidosis and
many other auto Investigations, is now
known to be caused by a drying out
of the bile and the intestinal contents,
the result of insufficient. secretions of
the liver and intestinal glands.
Scientists have fortunately discov-
cred a combination of pleasant tasting
and easy acting salts which increa Sc
the f1uidity and the flow of bile and
the intestinal secretions, thus flushing
the ailmentary tract and re-establish-
ing natural and healthy action of the
liver and bowels. This delightful COM
bination of salts is sold at drug stores
under the trade name, Jacobs Salt"
1t is much quicker, more pleasant and
far more effective than calomel, oils,
or other nauseating cathartics, and in
addition, is perfectly safe and harm
less. Ask your druggist for Jacobs
Liver Salts. 35c buys a generous bot

POLICY OF BANK
WAS SUCCESSFUL
Were Formulated Solely to Prevent
Country's Banking System
From Collapse.
tRy The Associated 1ress.>

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5-Reserve
bank policies of 1919 and 1920 were
formulated solely to prevent the coun-
try's banking system from coIIapse.
and were successful in their object,
Governor Harding of the reserve board
declared today in closing a two DAYS
appearance before a joint congressional
commission. To questioners he re-
peated time and again a declaration
that the board had not sought to in
huence prices, either up or down, but
mad prepared to meet a price break
that was worldwide, and yet to main
tain an expand credit lines.
There was bare possibility, he said
that If In 1919 the reserve board had
raised national re-discount rates, "the
runaway in prices might have been
checked, and the result might have
been better" but he mentioned needs
of the government financing as infu-
etial in determining the course actual
~ taken. Representative Sumner.
democrat, Texas, suggested that "the
word might have gone out" from the
board to bankers to be fearful of
prices, but Governor Harding said that
nothing had been done inconsistent
with his statement.
ut wasn't a good time to be talk
ing too much-in 1920" he remarked,
''but we can be holder now"
He made a suggestion that the COM
mission might consider the utility of
the farm loan boards as a means of
extending short term credits to farm
ers, for 9 and II months periods, but
said he would make no detailed recon-
mendation.
"All over the country we find that
agricultural and livestock interests
feel they need more credit facilities"
he said, land want something to make
themselves in dependent of banks. The
farmers credit horizon is necessarily
limited and local. Any man hesitated
about getting the government in bust
ness, and we can't use the reserve
board for that, because it's funds are
essentially reserve funds. but con-
slider there is a possibility that the
farm loan banks might be extended
to meet the need. The question needs
study"
Governor Harding denied that his
administration of reserve bank policies
had Debated cotton prices.
"As the cotton surplus began to ap-
pear he said, II tried to go as far
as I could in my official position to
make the situation clear. I make
series of letters to J. S. Wanamaker, j
the official head of the American Cot
ton Association, giving him my views
as plainly as I could"
He put the correspondence before /
the committee. declaring that he had
urged producers to sell at least
part Of the crop. and tighten the load"
and had worked to get export credit
ma chiney established.
1.-The situation called for silence"
he said. Everything humanity posi- /
Bile was one by the Federal Reserve /
Board to help the situation out"
He emphasized present belief that
cotton prices were stabilized, with a
short crop in prospect and that prices
could be relied upon completely for all
proper credit operations.
