and Iniments. But modern science has
found a better way. quicker, more eff
cient way, a way without objections.

Rub relieves almost at once. Don't let
cold in the chest 60 neglected. Have
this rub at hand-eet il now. The time
will come when its quick relief will mean
much to someone in your home.

seek FUNDS IN
FIGHT TO SAVE SCOTT
FROM THE GALLONS

Chicago. Aug. 2.-tAP)-While at
torneys tonight completed their plans
for a sanity hearing before Judge Jo-
seph B. Davis tomorrow morning,
friends and relatives of Russell Scott
carried on an intensive nth hour cam
paign for funds to save him from the
sallows.
A special venire of 100 men has been
summoned by Judge David, and If the
wishes of the court are followed, a
jury to decide SCOTS sanity will be
selected in one day.
Judge David has indicated he will
permit no unnecessary delay.
State and defense counsel are ready
with imposing arrays of alienists, to
be called as soon as the jury ia i'm
panelled.
The general conclusion of the de-
Tense experts is that Scott's mentality
has become impaired since his convic-
ton and sentence. State alienists say
Scott is normal.
Whether Scott will be permitted to
appear before the jury was in doubt
tonight. The states attorneys repre-
sentatiyes are of the opinion that Scott
should not be seen by the Jurors, and
cite a criminal court ruling of recent
years in which the principal in sim
liar proceeding waa excluded from the
court.
SCOTS attorneys. on the other hand,
assert that their client cannot be ex-
cluded from a proceeding in which his
life is at stake.

LABOR FEDERATION
SAYS IS THROUGH
WITH THIRD PARTIES

Washington, Aug. 2-(AP)-In d.

council today. the American Fedora
ton of Labor announced that 1t was
through backing third party move
ments, of the kind which it support
ed in 1924 with the late Senator La
Toilette as presidential candidate.
A return to the custom of enter
ing COMPRESSION and other political
contests in support of individual
candidates satisfactory to unions was
emphatically indicated as its future
course by the council which has just
wound up a quarterly session. The
council decision recited a general de-
cision reached by the federation
national convention at Ell Paso last
year which laid down the principle
that organized labor must be free
from political domination now as al
any time in its history"
The conventions dictum carried
further by the council declaration

These are to carry tentative endorse
ments for candidates friendly to lf-
Dor, regardless of their party affilia-
tons.
In behalf of such conditions. par
ticularly those in the congressional
field, the council promised to wage q
strenuous non partisan political
campaign"
The statement after mentioning
events of 1924 when the council en-
dorsed the La Toilette forces. said :
1.-THE executive council believes
that as a result of it's partisan
political policy the launching of third
party movements has been proved
wasted effort and injurious to the de-
sire to elect candidates with favor
able records. The 1922 and 1924
political campaigns definitely deter
mined this fact. Experience there
fore has taught labor that to be sue
cessful politically it must continue in
the future as in the past to follow its
nom partisan political policy"
