SAFE WAY TO TREAT
THAT STUBBORN COUGH

Have you cough that is worrying
you? You know that it should not
linger on SO, yet you feel hesitant
about going to the doctor for fear he
might diagnose it as something more
than a cough.
If it is only cough and you take
prompt measures to rid yourself of it
you need not worry Try DIR. Che
ney's Expectorant that has been the
household remedy for over sixty
years when any of the family suf-
fered from coughs or colds, or even
from bronchitis, whooping cough,
asthma or Group. 1t probably is only
cough, in other words, an outward
manifestation of some weakness in
your respiratory organs.
DR.. Cheney's Expectorant will fer
ret it out mighty quickly. Don't fool
around with cough dope that merely
smoo.hes matters over for few days.
Use Dr.. Cheney's Expectorant and
have the satisfaction Of knowing that
you have taken the proper measures
to eradicate that cough by getting at
and correcting its cause.

to find way FOR the farmers to meet

side is no injustice to the other side,
which is in good repair.
We have travelled a long way from
the old conception of government as
merely defensive and policing agency ;
and reguiative, corrective, or equaliz-
ing legislation, which apparently is of
special nature, is often of the most
general beneficial consequences. Even
the First Congress passed tariff act

Of manufacturers but protective
tariff always has been defended as a

through a particular approach; and

for the benefit Of shipping, commerce,

REPORT ON BUREAU
D|SM|SSALS MADE
President Will Withhold
Findings of Operatives
From Public.
WILL CONSULT MELLON
Treasury Officials Say Department
of Justice Agents Failed to
Find Serious Errors.
WILL CONSULT MELLON

President Harding now has on his
desk the report of Department of JUS
tice agents on their inventory Of the
bureau of engraving and printing.
The nature of the findings has not
been disclosed.
The report was presented to the
President confidentially on Wednes-
day, it was learned today. by Director
Hill.
This completes the long g-drawn-ou
inspection Of the records at the gov
crnments money-making plant, fol-
lowing the wholesale dismissals last
spring, by which President Harding
summarily removed former Director
Wjlmorth and his assistants and placed
in charge Louis A. Hill and an entire
ly new staff.
Inventory, Not Probe.
The Department of Justice opera
tives, it was learned. did not make an
investigation. but only an inventory.
They began work simultaneously with
SPECIAL committee appointed by the
Treasury Department. but continued
there long after the Treasury commit
tee had reported to Secretary Mellon.
While the next step in the long
pending bureau affair rested with the
President today. it was believed that
il would be a long time before further
informa tion would be made public
concerning the nature of the findings.
High officials of the Treasury init
mated today that there would prob
ably be conference of representa-
tives of the Treasury with the Pres
ldent. when the two reports would
be compared. and some definite con-
clusionS drawn. 1t was thought that
there would be given out then some
definite information to the public to
further clear the situation.
Report Held secret.
1t was again reiterated at the
Treasury today that the Treasury
committees report would not be made
public until the President should de-
eide to bring the entire subject again
before the public.
But again il was officially declared
that the Treasury committee had
found no serious irregularities
This was taken at the time it was
first made public to mean that wide
spread rumorS of fraudulent circula-
ton of liberty bonds or alleged dupli-
Gated securities, or rumored serious
irregularities in the conduct of the
bureau by Director Wilmetb/ and his
assistants, We're not substantiated by
the findings Of the committee.
The Treasury committee in its first
report to Secretary Mellon had sub
mitted the fact that there had been
about 800 sheets of paper unaccount-
ed for in several years operation.
Secretary Mellon asked the commit
tee to check again on these sheets
and 20 separate those which had been
discovered in earlier reports from the
500. After few days additional
work the second supplementary re-
port was submitted. but not made
public.

CONFEREES BEGIN WORK
ON TARIFF AMENDMENTS
Question of american Valuation
Temporarily Shelved-Whole-
sale Selling Price Proposed.

After shelving for the time being
the question of American valuation.
the republican members of the con-
ference committee on the tarife bill
Yesterday began work on the 2,436
amendments to the bill made by the
Senate.
Members of the conference dis
closed, however. that the American
valuation, as originally written into
the House bill. was receiving little II
any consideration. The plan under
discussion was the basing of ad
vaIorem tariffs on the wholesale SELL
ing price of the imported article in
the American market. Adoption of
this plan was urged on the conferees
by Senator Oddie. republican. Nevada.
in a prepared address delivered in the
Senate. He said it would remove the
administration difficulties presented
by the original proposal and at the
same time prevent abuses growing
out of undervaluation of imports.
In deciding to pass the valuation
problem by for the present, the con-
ferees, it was stated officially. agreed
that in acting on ad valorem duties
rates should be computed on the basis
Of both the foreign valuation and the
American wholesale selling price. so
that a retracing of steps would not
be necessary no matter which plan
finally was adopted.
