Creager said.
 Probe Welcomed, He Says.
 The committee also stated to cabinet officers that they were not there to stop investigation as to the alleged fraudulent practice, but that the valley ! Interests welcomed investigation, Mir. Creager said. f,

 These investigations did continue Thereafter. Indictments were returned against a number of men at Kansas City and some of these men were con victed. Our visit to Washington was in the latter part of April, 1922. The court action at Kansas City came sev- eral months later.

 All drug stores are supplied with the wonderful elixir, so ali you have to do to get relief from that cold is to step into the nearest drug store, hand the clerk half dollar for bottle of Aspironal and tell him to serve you two teaspoonfuls. With your watch in your hand, take the drink at one swal- low and call for your money back in two minutes if you cannot feel the dis dressing symptoms of your cold fading away like dream, within the time limit. Don't be bashful, for all drug gists invite you and expect you to try it. Everybody's doing it.
 When your cold or cough is re- lieved, take the remainder of the bot tie home to your. wife and children, for Aspironal is by far the safest and most effective, the easiest to take and the most agreeable cold and cough remedy for children as we'll as adults.
