A Treaoherous Disease.
Appendicitis attacks at any moment
even persons seemingly in good health.
Usually, however, IL is preceded by So
called stomach trouble. constipation or
similar disturbances. Often when there
is a warning feeling of uneasiness in
the abdomen, appendicitis can be
guarded against in the same manner
In which one guards against the spread
of throat infection, because that is just
what appendicitis is--an infection in
the intestipes spreading to the appen-
dix. When one has sore throat, one can
often prevent further trouble by using
an antiseptic wash or gargle TO fight
the germs and laxative to carry off
the poisons from the body. The same
procedure is necessary to fight the in
testinal germs and guard against ap-
pendicitis. But instead of an antisep-
tic wash for the throat, an INTESTI-
NAL antiseptic is necessary.
Intestinal Antiseptic.
There isenow offered to the public a
preparation having the DOUBLE action
of an intestinal antiseptic and a COM

ration. known as Adlerika, acts as fol-

VETO WILL NOT

Same Rates viii Be included

Progressive Bloc.
BIZ rnttcd Prcss


WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE
Democratic-Pr Progressive coalition in
the Senate served notice today that
the event President Coolidge vetoed
the tax bill, the same rates would
be included in any tax reduction pro
posed by Administration leaders as a
substitute.
Senator Simmons, author of the
bill passed by the Senate. said he
would offer his rate schedule as an
amendment to the % per cent reduc-
ton resolution if an attempt was
made to substitute that for the tax
bill. He declared enough votes were
lined up TO insure the adoption OK
such an amendment.
The House and Senate. conferees
held their first meeting on the tax
bill today. 1t was not expected great
difficulty would be encountered in
ironing out differences between the
rates in the House and Senate bills,
since the Simmons and Longwortn
schedules are approximately equiva.
lent.
Publicity Of tax returns promised
to be the outstanding dispute.
House conferees are determined to
reject the Senate section providing
for publicity. Some predicted that
the conference might break up on
this issue.
The House conferees also will
stand firmly for various administra-
tive provisions of the original Mel
Ion plan which the House adopted
and which were said to prevent tax
evasions amounting to $65, 900, 900
annually. These We're struck out by
the Senate.
Indications today were that the
tax bill would be in conference for
weeks.

HOPES TO AVOID
KU-kLUX IN 1924
CAMP A|GN FADE
G. 0. P. Face to Face With
KIan-DemocratS Also
BiCkering.
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN

(COpBTtJht, IJ&4, on Ohet6G FfeSSJ
WASHINGTON, May 14.-The
hope, long cherished by leaders Of
both Republican and Democratic
parties that the Ku-Klux Khan
would not rise in this compaign
to plague them, has been dashed
and in it's place has come the GER
tainty that the question somehow
must be met. ....
The Republicans have been
brought face to face with the issue
by the Khan victory in the Indiana
primary. Senator Underwood has
raised it for the Democrats and in
tends to use it in reviving his presi-
Dental candidacy.
Months ago, while the 1924 presi-
Dental election was in the dim fu-
ture, certain Republican politicians
got behind the fight to GUST Senator
Earl B. Mayfield from the Senate.
1t was known at that time that any
investigation of Mayfield would in
volve any alleged Khan in his nomi-
nation and election. and that this
would lead to any general investiga-
ton of Khan in politics nationally.
The Investigation now going on
shows every evidence Of being a
Khan investigation unless present
lines Of questioning are stopped sum-
marily.
Therefore 1t would appear as
| though the Khan issue would be
made a factor in the campaign by
those who saw in the Mayfield case
an opportunity to get revenge in the
ousting of Newberry.
Now all eyes are on President
Coolidge to see what position he will
take in respect to Indiana's Khan
controlled Republican organization.
Senator Watson, ostensibly one of
the Coolidge deutenants has been
quoted as supporting Ed Jackson,
! the Khan nominee for Governor.
VIII the President indicate his ap-
rroval of this or of the anti-klan
branch Of the Republican party in
the Hoosier State is the question
now being asked here. That he will
be allowed to evade this choice nc
one here believes. Means will be
found to place him on record, and
naturally what he says will be con-
strued as rejecting his attitude on
the Khan not alone, in Indiana, but
all over the country.
Thus it becomes a definite factor
IN the campaign.
! Underwood, by demanding that
the Democratic party go on record
against the Khan appears to some
| observers here to be inviting an
eventual coalition with the AL Smith
forces.

1t was held unlikely that the

Block paving on Meridian st. is
unusually rough north Of Thirty

places the pavement has been cut
for sewer connections. 1t is almost
impossible to replace these blocks
