IF President Coolidge is sincere in his
Il policy of strict economy, his thought
cannot help but have turned to the inn
portant but costly commissions and boards
which affliet the government.
IL is quite a custom of congress, when
stuck ON a proposition that is more or less
loaded with dangerous politics, TO create
a board or commission upon which 20
dump the responsibility. and these bodies
are largely composed of lame ducks"
and others to whom fat salary is god
send.
The federal trade commission. costing
about $4,000 annually, in salaries alone
is an instance. II has come to function
only in the giving of few kind words of
warning to crooked business The tariff
commission has, during its entire exist
ence, recommended but two coverings of
rates, and Mr.. Coolidge has pigeon-holed
both. This commission, impotent TO re-
heve the gouging of the consumer thru
sugar trust prices, is about ready TO rec
ommend 80 per cent in crease in tariff on
butter, straw hats and cotton gloves. The
railroad labor board consumes most of its
time in looking grieved at the way rail
road magnates nose their thumbs and
wiggle their fingers at it. And there are
others, largely functioning in drawing
down the taxpayers money.
President Coolidge hasn't authority to
scrape off such parasites, but he can say
some hot words to congress on the matter.

And Firm the Gums
Now in a new-type dentifries,
called Pcpsodent, dental science
has discovered effective combat
ants. Their action is to curdle
the film and remove 1t, then to
firm the gums.
Ordinary methods fail in these
results.
Harsh, gritty substances are
Judged dangerous to enamel.
Thus the world has turned,
largely on dental advice, to this
new method.
