TRADE SLOGAN
CALLED Joker
LESS Government in Business"
Drive of Interests on U. S.
Board Says Hapgood.
BY NORMAN HAPGOOD.

According to our old friend Me-
phistopheles, mankind is governed
by words. Just get the right phrase,
concludes this experienced observer,
and we may dispense with thought.
Delegations of business men who
have been down in Washington re-
Gently have been wrestling with the
slogan, More business in Govern
ment and less Government in bust

sion that I am discussing today. We
will take up the first half later.
Some of these delegations came
down to consult with Mr.. Hoover
about how the Commerce Department
OF the Government can take steps to
promote foreign trade, and other
aspects of business, ana yet leave un-
furnished the slogan.
Other groups are telling the Gov
eminent how II can arrange it's tariff
schedules. not from the viewpoint OF
helping this business or that.
So with taxation. other than the
tariff, taxation in general 10 not being

Possibly the point at which our
Interesting little collection of words

revival of the War Finance Corpora

FARM LOANS A PROBLEM.
The farm loan banks are q re-
lated problem for our friends. To
the fact that this kind of Govern
r,ent help to the great business of
agriculture was delayed so long BY
legal contest, considerable part
or the present bad situation in the
West has been attributed.
Another point at which our slogan
begins to get little grogsy. IL a
slogan can get grosgy. is the rail-
road crisis. Nobody has the calm
&c argue today that we can ever go
back to the days when the rail-
rpads were merely granted valuable
privileges by the Government and
then allowed to do anything they
liked without supervision. 1t is
the other way now. What the roads
want is help out of the Govern
rent treasury. and not infrequently
Government help in making terms
with their employees.
Also the Government consist not
merely of the legislative and ad-
ininistrative branches. 1t has a third
branch. the judicial. In that branch
more Government in business has
been the constant desire of capital
in it's conflicts with labor.

George, who is white haired and

ADAMS TELLS STORY.
The elder Adams was the most i'm
portant witness. He said he was a
woodsman. He said he was staying
at the Blackburn Cottage in Deem
Der, 1917. That was on the Stillman
estate in Canada. He was doing
work for Stillmsn.
He said he made hole in a curtain
that draped a window of a room oc-
cupied by Mrs. Stillman. He said he
applied an eye to this aperture.
He said he saw clothing of Mrs.
Stillman draped over chair, and
clothing of Beauvais draped over
another chair. He was sure about
the clothing.
Mrs. Stillman looked at him scorn-
fully during the whole of his story
"Old George" 1t Ia known, hung
doggedly to the main part of his
story. When he was asked why he
had looked through the hole in the
curtain, he said:
Curiosity"
"Old George" admitted he still Is
receiving pay from Mr.. Stillman and
that was looked upon as a strong
point won by Mrs. Stillman's law
yers.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS

Wash poisons and toxins from
 system before putting t food into stomach.

Wash yourself on the inside be- fore breakfast like you do on the outside. This is vastly important because the skin pores do not ab- sorb impurities into the blood, caus- ing illness, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food taken into the stomach. nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out of the body. If this waste is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates pOisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream, through the lymph ducts (Which should suck only nourishment.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day, a glass of hot water with teaspoon full of limestone phosphate in it., which is harmless way to wash these poisons from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels; thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen- ing the alimentary canal before eat ing more food.
 A quarter pound of limestone phosphate costs but very little at the drug store but is sufficient to make anyone an enthusiast on in side bathing.
