RAIL NAY Bill
VICTORY SEEN

Although facing opposition from
farm organizations, western rail.
roads and national business or
ganizafions, friends OF the Watson
Parker railroad mediation bin to-
day predicted its enactment by the
Senate within fOrty-eight hours.
The opposition, led by Senators
Curtis (Rl of Kansas, and Reed
3D. of Missouri, charged the bill,
by setting up boards OF mediation
for the settlement Of railroad dis
putes on which only the carriers
and their workers were represented,
would deprive the public of both
representation and protection in the
arbitration of wage agreements.
They centered their efforts on
adoption of an amendment, pro-
posed by Senator Curtis, giving the
Interstate Commerce Commission
the right to suspend any agree
ment involving an increase in
wages, il It found the compact mot
to be in the public interest"
The farm organizations in par
ticular attacked the bill on the
ground that 1t would result in
higher freight rates by the rail
roads voluntarily agreeing to give
their workers increases in wages.

Astounding g h e alth
in this amazing oil

CoD-LIvER oil has always been source of aston
ishment physicians Experience proved that it
had surprising medicinal values 1t protected chill
dren against rickets; it aided convalescents to
in astonishingly short periods of time; it
increased resistance to disease it aided the growth
of bones and teeth in children; it of enormous
value in the treatment of tuberculosis; it gave
vigor to people everywhere
Once it thought that this high therapeutic
value due to the presence of two acids which
found in cod-liver OIL but not in other foods.
But this explanation never seemed quite adequate.
Then scientists discovered vtamins. Experiments
proved that these mysterious elements were almost
of the essence of life tself-without sufficient
supply of them people inevitably fell i'll, and,
lacking them entirely. human could live And
good codver oil was found to be the richest known
source Of the important fat-solube vitamns! That
the explanation of its amazing properties.
The discovery explained, too, why different oils
on the market varied in therapeutic value. For it
was found that the vtamins easily lost from
cod.liver oil in the process of preparing, packagng
and transporting the oil
The first to solve this difficulty has been E. r.
Squibb & Sons. Scientists in the Squibb Labora-
tories perfected exclusive process which protects
the oil against loss of vitamns to greater degree
than has been possible before. That process also
makes Squibb's Cod-Liver Oil more palatable. So
it is best to insist upon Squibb's. At druggists.
