HIS FALSE TEETH CAME BACK
Suburbanite Much Relieved Wher
Missing Property Is Returned
by His Tailor.

Smith, who lives up in Washington
Heights, boasts a pair of gold-rimmed
detachable and demountable teeth.
The other morning as he was rushing
around to get ready to go to the office
he missed his fancy molars. He
searched high and low, but in vain.
Early in the evening he came home
to renew the search. Just as he had
decided that he must have swallowed
them in his sleep, his tailor appeared
with suit of clothes he had taken to
clean and press the night before.
81 won't charge you anything for
cleaning these" smiled the tailor as he
drew the coat aside and revealed the
two gold-rimmed, detachable and de-
mountable teeth suspended from the
hanger. Smith was thankful the tail
or hadn't turned his fiat iron into a
toothbrush. and that ne had felt
through the pockets before applying
his presser.-New York sun and Globe.

ANOTHER NURSE
PRAISES TANLAC

Mrs. Leona Culpepper, II Lucille Ave
hue, who was a trained nurse for fif-
teen years, is another highly esteemed
Atlanta woman whose gratitude and
desire to help others prompts her to
tell of the wonderful results she de-
rived from the Tanlac treatment
Il had suffered from nervous in
digestion and loss of appetite for four
or five years." said Mrs. Culpepper,
"and was nearly always nauseated. I
had heartburn so bad I could hardly
stand it, and became so weak and
nervous I could hardly do my house
work.
Reading what Tanlac had done for
others, 1 decided to try it, and by the
time I finished the first bottle I was
feeling so much better that I bought
two more. When 1 had finished the
third bottle I was feeling fine and had
actually gained sixteen pounds. Tan
lac is all that is claimed for it."

gists. Take no ubstitute-Advertise

$4,725, 900 FUND FOR COLORADO
HIGHWAYS PROGRAM IN 1924

Denver.-Tentativep proposals for the
expenditure of $4,725.000, which sum is
available under the state highway bud
get for 1924, have been announced by
the state highway advisory board here.
A serious problem has confronted
the advisory board in it's apportionment
of available funds for state highways
because of repeal by the Twenty
fourth General Assembly of the half
mill state road tax, combined with the
fact that revenue derived from the sale
of all automobile license tags must be
used for the payment of interest and
retirement of the $6,00O000 highway
bond issue authorized last November.
The highway department must
therefore, reduce appropriations for
state projects to one-third of the 1923
appropriation, it is declared.
Adequate maintenance will be the
primary consideration, the use of funds
for new construction being necessarily
curtailed, according to the statement
issued by the highway advisory board
The $4,725,000 available for appor-
tionment under the 1924 budget will be
distributed as follows, subject, Of
course, to Governor Sweets approval: !:
For maintenance .......$ 81, 900
For construction purposes,
federal aid projects ....... 100000
For state projects .......... 100000
For property, equipment, ad-
ministration and surplus
war materials " 264, 900
For contingencies ........... 10000
The above appropriations are pro-
vided for by the following estimated
receipts:
Balance 1923 highway funds 100000
One-half mill levy .......... 10000
One-half of &c gasoline tax. $4,000

laneous ....,............. $4,000

Fake Cotton Brokers Investigated

New York.-Millions of dollars have
been lost by small traders in the South
through cotton transactions with un-
scrupulous persons posing as cotton
brokers, Thomas Hale, secretary Of
the New York Cotton Exchange, de-
clared in a statement made public
here. The exchange is doing every
thing in it's power to protect such
traders, Mr., Hale said, and is now
working with cotton exchanges in the
South in an effort to weed out MEM

believe are not doing business in ac-
cordance with the rules"

Army and Navy Suffering.

Certain departments of government
are having their activities checked by
a lack of funds to do what probably
ought to be done. The army and navy
particularly are suffering today and
there seems to be no doubt at all that
they will continue to suffer. Students
of conditions say that congress may
save the people some money next win
ter by Withholding appropriations for
some of the varied works of the gov
ernment departments, but that in the
future the taxpayers of the country
will pay fve-fold more because of the
present-day desire of congress to eff
feet what will look like saving.
The Republican majority has it's
legislative program, and the radical
progressives" have their program. The
Republican majorities in house and
senate are small and they are not
really majorities at ALL The pro-
gressives will not allow the party to
which most of them belong, in name at
least, to put anything at all through,
unless they get something for what
they give. They are not likely to get
much, because the things which they
suggest are things to which Republicans
who also are conservatives probably
cannot subscribe.
An attempt will be made to secure
complete revision of the present rail
road law. The conservatives will not
listen to this. 1t Is pretty well known
also that a certain contingent will
attempt to put resolution through
which will deny the right Of the Su-
preme court to declare unconstitution-
al by a five to four vote any act of
congress.

jail here on a charge of murder by au-

tinel Ariz., where he is alleged to have
shot and killed Harold Mowrey of Chill

sembles. These measures, of course,
will be known as administration Re
publican measures. The representatives
OF the blOcs in congress will have
measures of their own 70 introduce for
which they will ask support. After
a study of the measures which are
likely to be introduced, it seems likely
that only two of them can be looked
upon as nonbloc and nonpartisan inso-
far as support for them in the two
houses is concerned.
The two exempted measures are i'm
migration and the bonus. On every
thing else which has been suggested
as likely to come before congress,
blocism and partisanism will be much
IN evidence. 1t is to be doubted If
the Republican leaders believe that
any bills of Importance, conservative
in their nature and backed by the ad-
ministration, can be enacted into law
by a straight party majority.
The Republican leaders today seem
ingly are as anxious as ever, because
of the imminence of the presidential
campaign, to pass certain measures
by a party majority and thus to let
the voters know that a harmonious
congressional Republicanism is back
ing a Republican administration.
Bonus Has Support Everywhere.
The bonus has it's support in the
ranks of all congressional elements
Democratic, Republican, Farmer-La-
Dor and every other element with a
name or without a name. The bonus
bill, if it goes through, as it probably
will, can be claimed as a Republican
measure only because the Republicans
have a majority in each of the two
houses-that is, they have it if certain
men written down as Republicans are
rightly so written down.
AS for immigration, the expectation
is that any attempt to let more i'm
migrants into the country than may
come under the present law will be
defeated by a combination Of Repub-
licans, Democrats and blocs. The only
support for easier admission for i'm
migrants to the United States prob
ably will come from the extreme con-
servatives of the Democratic and Re-
publican parties, and there probably
are not enough of these in either house
to secure the result that they seek.
The friends of more lenient immi-
grafton laws also will have the sup
port of representatives of certain ra-
cial groups in congress, and beyond
this they count on nothing, for coun-
try-wide manifestations have proved
pretty conclusively to the majority
Of congressman that the country wants
to Americanize the foreigners that it
has before it allows others to come
in faster than they are coming now.
One chief Republican endeavor in
the next congress will be to cut the
appropriations so that the party can
go before the country next summer
to say, Look at the saving grace of
our action" 1t is pretty well known
that President Coolidge will urge econ
omy to the parsimony point. The Re-
publican majority will do It's best to
meet the Administrations recommen-
dation, and it can be taken for granted
that the Democrats will enter no Objec-
tionS.

SEEK WEALTHY MAN
 IN MODELS DEATH
Bostonian Said to Have Provided
 Her With Funds

New Fork, March 17~-The police today expected to question: the mys- terious MT, Marshall" who iA gem erally supposed to have supplied the gildsd wings with which Dorothy keenan. known sas Dorothy King. the model, flew as a gay butterfly through Broadway to her tragic death.
 Police Inspector coughIin was wait ing for the appearance of "Mr. Mar } shall" and "Wilson," his secretary, to explain their presence Wednesday night in the apartment where the girls body was found Thursday.
 Had Wealthy Friend. K MT. Marshall" is said to be a wealthy Bostonian about 60 years old and engaged in the automobile tire business, with offices in Boston, New York and Philadelphia.
 While the giFl's supposed benefac- tor may give helpful information. de- tectives were pinning more faith in g mans small black pocket comb, en- cased in leather sheath. which was found in her bed. They think it was dropped there by the man who ad- ministered the chloroform which caused the girls death.
 Another clue was furnished by the chloroform bottle but the user had , lessened it's value by scratching off the serial number placed there for tracing the purchaser.
 May Have Been Addict.
 The police wer enot positive that the bottle had been procured by Miss keenan as there were stories told in the jazz palaces she frequented that she was user of drugs, including narcotics.
 The release of Albert Guimares "the man in the fur coat who is held on a technical charge of carrying con- cealed weapons while investigators determine his connection with the woman, was to be sought through habeas corpus proceedings in court today. Miss Keenan was said to have been fond of Guimares and made him many costly presents. including jewelry and fur coat.
 Married at IS.
 Guimares was with her until II o'clock Wednesday night, according to the police. Guimares who is under indictment in Boston in connection with the failure of brokerage house voluntarily went to the police when they first got busy. Additional de- tails of Miss Keenan's life were made public today. FShe had been mar ried when 1S---she was 27 when she died-but soon separated from the husband, whose name her mother l would not disclose.
