that you seldom have a cold with
out constipation, due to general
congestion. The only way to
avoid colds is to keep up your
vitality. You usually catch cold
in the winter if you are run
down. Therefore in cold weather
exercise more; eat more fatty
foods; drink four to six glasses Of
water q day; keep the head cool,
the feet warm, the bowels open.
You are also less liable to colds
# your system is free from the

SO empty the bowels regularly

Corporation when fats and grains

fit of the farm" II is believed
that the President placed empha-
sis on this last point because of
the agitation by the packers and
other interested parties in hasten
ing government aid to Germany.
The Chief Executive frowned
upon proposals contemplating re-
vision of the tariff. He declared
that the present law contains an
elastic provision authorizing the
increase or decrease of schedules
and, as a consequence, he is OPP
posed to tinkering with the tariff
law. He reiterated the views Of
the previous administration for
the maintenance of an American
Merchant Marine until ships can

The organization of the Senate
and House has been marked by
bitter fractional strife. The min
ority has been comparatively
quiet as the fight was largely
with the leadership of the ma
jority. The so-called Liberals"
and "Progressives' wing of the
Republican party in the House
has been waging war for control
of committees through larger
representation. Concessions have
been granted on all sides but
the real issues have not been
definitely settled. Some SEM
blance of organization must be
provided as the appropriation
bills will be ready for Congress

further stated consolidation ap-
pears to be the only feasible me-
thod for the maintenance of an
adequate system of transporta-
ton with an opportunity so to
adjust freight rates as to meet
such temporary conditions as now
prevail in some agricultural sec
tions." Coolidge called attention
to the fact that unless the gov
eminent adheres to the rule of
making a rate that would yield a
fair return, it must abandon rate
making altogether"
In declaring against the grant
ing of a bonus by Congress, the
President recommended that all
hospitals be authorized at once to
receive and care for, without hos
pital pay, the veterans of all wars
needing such care, whenever
there are vacant beds, and that
immediate steps be taken to en-
large and build new hospitals to
serve all such cases"
In his message Mr.. Coolidge
recommended that legislation
should be enacted Immediately
allowing the Chief Executive the
authority ito appoint a commits
sion and voluntary arbitration, to
adjust any existing or threatened
controversy between the employ
er and the employee when col
lective bargaining fails, and by
controlling distribution to pre-
vent profiteering in this vital
necessity"
Continuance of the policy of
restricted immigration was urged
upon Congress by the President.
He favors a law requiring the
immediate registration of all
aliens and ito make immigration
of a selective nature with some in
spection at the source, and based
either on a prior census or upon
the record of naturalization"
Discussing the fiscal condition
of the nation in his report to Con-
gress. Mr.. Coolidge stated "our
main problems are domestic prob
lems." He reported that by a
drastic but orderly retrenchment
it is possible to make a large re-
duction in the taxes of the
people, which is the sole object of
all curtailment." He especially
commended a decrease on earned
incomes and further abolition of
admission, message, and nuisance
taxes. The Chief Executive de-
clared against the proposed re-
storation of the excess profits
taxes which is advocated by the
La Toilette group in the Senate.
He also advocated the abolition of
the right to issue tax-exempt Sc
curities through the enactment
of constitutional amendment.
Mr.. Coolidge defended the budget
system, which he declared must
be preserved as without a bud
get system there can be no fixed
responsibility and no constructive
scientific economy"
Congress was advised that the
administration favored increased
appropriations for the Coast
Guard, to prevent the violation
of the prohibition laws. Concern
ing regulatory legislation the
President recommended that laws
should be passed dealing with
aviation and radio interference;
legislation and regulations rea-
establishing load lines to provide
safe loading of vessels leaving
