Would Have Congress Appoint
Committee to Recommend
Relief Legislation.
BY International News Service.

A Congressional investigation OF
business conditions in the United
States with a view to the enact
ment of additional relief measures
was proposed in a resolution intro
duced today in the Senate by Sen
ator Edge, Republican, OF New
Jersey.
The resolution provided for the
creation of a joint Congressional
commission to conduct the inquiry.
This committee, Edge explained.
would be authorized especially to rec
ommend legislation defining the
rights and limitations of cooperative
organizations in distinguishing from
illicit combinations in restraint or
trade" The committee would also
report on means to revive business
TO stimulate foreign and domestic
trade, to stabalize future business
conditions and to minimize the dan
ger of recurring periods Of depres-
sion"
1T is necessary to create a speci-
al committee to give this important
subject direct consideration" Edge
said. The decisions recently
handed down by the Supreme Court
in the hardwood and other cases
has naturally had the tendency to
confuse industry and at the pres
ent moment trade associations and
cooperative organizations naturally
hesitate to proceed in any direction.
This greatly retards industrial de-
velopment and 1t Is a situation
demanding proper relief. The pres
ent situation is intolerable and
must be remedied."
The committee. under the resolu-
ton, would consist OF three Senators
and three Congressman with au-
thority to hold hearings, summon
witnesses and issue subpoenas.
"It shall be the duty of the COM
mittee to investigate existing con-
ditions in industry and commerce
in the United States and the markets
OF foreign countries, in so far as they
directly affect industry and com
m.rce of the United States, includ-
ing questions as to production, dis
tribution, labor and business meth
DDS" the resolution read.
THE committee shall report TO
Congress and suggest such legisla-
ton as II may deem best on these
subjects with a special reference to
the most effective ways and means
to revive industry and to stimulate
foreign and domestic trade, to stabil-
ize business conditions as to the
future, to minimize the danger and
distress of recurring periods of busi-
ness depression with their result

DUBLIN, April 3.--Irish Repub-
lican army mutineers have seized
sufficient arms and ammunition to
equip a field army of from $1,000
to 20, 900 men, II was estimated to-
day. 1t Is generally admitted that
the situation is more critical as
result of the defiant parade Of the
Irish republican army rebels through
the streets of Dublin on Sunday.
There were from 1000 TO 1000 men
in line. all supporters Of the repub-
lie and enemies of the Irish Free
State.
Richard Mulcahy. minister of the
defense in the Irish provisional gov.
ernment, is expected to take steps
at once to fill the places Of soldiers
who have Joined the rebels.
The mutineers continue active
day and night in the outlying dis
tricts, seizing arms, ammunition.
automobiles. motorcycles and lor-
ries. Everything that can be used
in active warfare is being taken
over by the mutineers.
At Mullingar the mutineers seized
the barracks and refused admission
to loyal troops. All the motor cars
attached to the barracks were com
mandeered.
1t now develops that a running
battle occurred while Michael Col
Inns, minister OF finance in the Irish
provisional government, was on his
way TO Castelar, to make his speech
OF Sunday appealing for Irish unity.

work of the Society for the Health Of
Women and Children, the infant
death rate has been so reduced that in
one year recently only about 4 out of
every hundred babies died before they
were year old.
While ignorant mothers, who may
not be uneducated women, and con-
taminated milk are as matter of
fact chiefly responsible for our high
infant death rates, every factor of
the environment had its effect upon
the baby. This fact has led Sir Ar
thur Newsholme, an eminent Eng
lish authority to say:
Infant mortality is the most SEN
sitive index we possess of social vel
fare. Ii babies were we'll born and
we'll cared for their mortality would
be negligible. The infant death rate
measures the intelligence, health and
right living Of fathers and mothers,
the standards of morals and SANTA
tion of communities and governments,
the efficiency Of physicians, nurses,
health officers and educators ;"

strokes it hammered home the ter
ror and grandeur Of. the war-and a
great deal of the humor and light
hearted gaiety that kept bubbling up
through the turgid stream of strug-
CLING humanity when the world was
in arms.
The director, Rex Ingram, has
succeeded in concentrating the great
struggle in a series of unforgettable
pictures that flash out the quintes-
sence Of life at white heat. He makes
US see above the struggle the awe
some figures of the four horsemen,
Conquest, War, Famine and Death,
prophesied by St. John in the Book
of the Apocalypse, charging into our
very hearts. And through it all is
the deeply human, deeply moving
spectacle of intensely zeal people in
their baffled attempts to readjust
themselves to the demands of war
days. In this picture the war is real
lied on gigantic scale, with q great
ness of imagination that dwarfs all
other ambitious attempts that the
screen has seen. THE Four Horse

COUNTER-IRRITANTS

To some extent all hot applications
are counter irritants, but mustard,
pastcs, mustard leaves and the mus
tard for bath are the counter-irri-
tants most commonly used
To make a mustard paste mix dry
mustard with flour, using for adults
one part mustard and six of -four
to make weak paste; increase the
amount of mustard up to tqual parts
of mustard and flour according to the
strength required. Use a smaller
proportion of mustard for children
one part mustard with six to ten
parts of flour is generally enough.
Add to the mustard and -four enough
tep!d water to make u paste which
must be absolutely free from Jumps.
Do not use hot water for theis pur-
pose. because it destroys some of the
active properties of the mustard.
Spread the paste on thin muslin, ap-
ply it to the skin and remove it as
soon as the skin is reduced so that
it resembles the color of strong
sunburn. II the skin is especially
sensitive mix little veseline or sweet
oil with the paste
Mustard leaves should be dipped in
trepid water and may then be applied
to the skin directly, bat if especially
sensitive, the skin should be pro-
tected with thin muslin or gauze. The
leaf should remain until the skin is
we'll reduced; few minutes are gen.
orally sufficient.
Care must be taken not to leave
either mustard leaf or paste in
place long enough to blister the skin.
After the application has been re-
moved the part should he protected by
soft cloth until the redness disap-
pears. Faseline or sweet oil should
be applied to the skin if it is greatly
irritated.
Other countr-irritants in common
use are iodine. turpentine, amonia,
kerosene, carphorated oil, capsicum
vaseline and various ailments. Tine
ture Of iodine may be diluted with
alcohol for especially sensitive skins;
it sometimes causes blisters and
should not be used as counter-irri-,
tants except by doctors orders, and
then only after exact directions have
been obtained. Turpentine and kero-

HEADACHE AND
SLEEPLESSNESS

Headache is not a disease in itself
but 4 symptom common to many diff
ferent disorders. Among the abnor-
NAL conditions often causing head
aches are Fatigue, eyestrain, lndl-
gestion, constipation, neuralgia ,rheu-
tnatism, anaemia, acute infections,
should consist in finding the cause and
removing it if possible; clearly no
ore remedy cam cure so many diff
ferent causes. A physician should be
consulted if headaches are Of frequent
occurrence, but in many cases rest and
attention to other hygenic require
ments are all that is needed. During
an attack of headache hot foot bath
may give relief, or mustard paste
or cold applications on the back OF
the neck, or an ice bag or cold COM
press on the forehead. The person
suffering from headache should re:
main as quiet as possible and should
eat very lightly:
Sleeplessness.@ like headache, has
many possible causes and effective
treatment consists in finding and re-
moving them. Pain or discomfort Of
any kind, fatigue, overwork, and
worry are common causes. Sleepless-
ness easily becomes a habit that may
persist after its cause has been re-
moved; hence a person who has form
ed the habit of sleeplessness should
patiently strive to break the old habit
and substitute 4 better. A careful
hygienic regime is essential for the
patient, exercise in the open air and
the cultivation Of hopeful and tran
quill spirit. The diet should be liberal
but light and unstimulating; tea anc
coffee should be eliminated, certainly
during the latter part of the day
The patient should spend rather q
dull evening, avoiding excitement and
mental exertion that is difficult ever
though pleasurable. He should re-
tire early. A hot tub Or foot bath
and hot drink at bed time may help
to produce sleep. The bedroom should
be dark, cool and we'll ventilated. the
bed comfortable and the covers light
but warm enough. The patient
should try to Danish from his mind
at bedtime thoughts that are dis
tressing and even those that are es-
necially interesting. BY using pat
ienceand persistence most persons can
resign the power of sleeping even
when habits or sleeplessness have
long been established No one should
take drugs Of any kind to prevent
sleeplessness except by orders of a
physician.
