their approval, but that they will IN
sist on the most careful consideration
of every suggestion that is submitted.
1t is understood that one of the most
acute controversies in the cabinet IS
between Secretaries Fall and Wallace
over the proposed transfer Of the For

HERBS USED IN MEDICINES

A Manchester, England, paper
urges the renewed cultivation of old
fashioned medicinal herbs in Eng
lish gardens. In the United States
they have also gone out of fashion

quantities from Turkey, India and
China, where they are grown purely
for commercial purposes, as their
medicinal value is recognized by
many leading physicians. Tons of
Medicinal herbs are used annually in
the preparation of Lydia +. Pink

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY

Washington, July 19.-Pennsylva-
ria, with its numerous coal mines,
and with a state constabulary and na-
tional guard probably superior in e.
ficiency to that of any other state in
the Union, will be selected by he gov
ernment as its base IN providing for
the establishment of coal mining
throughout the country.
1t was declared shortly after the
conference between the President,
Secretary of War Weeks and Attor-
ney General Daugherty with Cover
nor Sproul and other officials from the
Keystone State, that Pennsylvania,
with its better facilities for combat
ting the coal strike situation, will as
sure reopening of mining activities
sooner than any other section Of the
strike area.
President Harding was assured by
Governor Sproul thai the officials of
Pennsylvania would be able to cope
with the situation Immediately upon
action being taken by the federal gov
eminent without interference of fed
eral troops. The state constabulary
of Pennsylvania is regarded as one of
the most efficient bodies of police in
existence in any section Of the coun-
try.
