BROKEN OUT SKIN

Amy breaking out or skin irritation

quickest by applying Mentho-Sulphur,
says noted skin specialist Because
Of its germ destroying properties, moth

place of this sulphur preparation that
instantly brings ease from the itching,
burning and irritation.
Mentho-Sulphur heals eczema right

MONTANA FLEECES
HEAVIEST IN U. S

HELENA MOntana's average
fleece is estimated to weigh S.8
pounds, which is not only a pound
above the countrywide average,
but also an increase over the av-
erage in Montana for last year
and the usual weight for this
state, a recent statement from the
federal statician here, shows.
The past unusually open winter,
with it's good feed and lack of
hardships is the cause for the
heavier fleeces, in the opinion of

potent" and President Coolidge has
pronounced his benediction'

of the tax bill.

proposals for supplanting the board

most of the roads and by 20 en-
ployes' organizations. Among the

MITCHELL MAKES
NEW ATTACK ON
THE U. S. DEFENSE

WASHINGTON, Feb /. -. William
Mitchell, private citizen, resumed
late today his fight against war and
navy management of the national de>
fense.
The former air officer took UP the
oudgel just five hours after he re-
ceived official notification Sthat his
.commissiop as colcnel u 81 A. had
been vacated at his requesf by di-
rection of President Coolidge. He
recalled his efforts to better condi-
tions from within the service" and
declared his intention as citizen to
keep up the struggle for a national
defense "organized in a single de-
partment."
MitchelPs statement. the first of
the kind issued since he attacked
the war and navy departments in the
celebrated statements he made public
in San Antonio last September, which
led to his conviction and sentence by
a court martial for insubordination,
was a bristling denunciation of the
existing defense policies. Striking
5ut against military "bureaucracyI
he declared "our government has be-
come one of bureaucratic domina-
ton"
At the same time he announced
he would tour the country for the
next three years to carry Straight
to the people" picture of "the true
condition of our national defense
This, he said he could do better as
a citizen than "by remaining muz-
zled in the army"
Army and navy bureaucracies,, he
charged "have consistently and pur-
posely mlsled congress and the peo-
ple-have manipulated the laws SO
they can control the armed forces
even against the action of the press
ident himself-have coerced, bulldozed
and attempted to ruin patriotic of
ficers," and have shaken the land
and sea forced in their conception OF
duty.
Characterizing "the military bu-
''as one of the greatest
menacies to our free institutions" he
asserted that "the bureaucratic party
was more, powerful than the demo-
Gratis and republicans, more powerful
than the influence of any creed or
sect, or religious order" 4,.
The statement failed to disclose
Mitchell's future plans. He explain
ed, however, that he intended to
visit his old home in Wisconsin upon
the expiration of his lecture travels,
and within a year or so intended to
leave the United States for a hunt
ing expedition into Africa.

WASHINGTON, Fep. 1.-The pro-
gram of senate leaders for speeding
nm consideration of the tax reduc-
tion bill was jolted today as oppon-
ents launched attacks on several pro-
visions.
At the conclusion of a session de-
voted entirely to debatea during which
less than rs members were on the
floor, most of the time, proposal
to meet an hour early tomorrow was
blocked by Senators Couzens of Mich
igan. and Norris of Nebraska, re-
publicans.

cuss freely some items of the bill
Senator Norris warned leaders you
aren't going to make any progress

Chairman Smoot of the finance COM
mittee, in charge of the bill, then
declared he would hold the senate in
session tomorrow night until 6 o'clock.
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
ranking democrat on the committee,
asserted if tax reduction by March
Is was to be assured consideration
of the bill must be hastened.
Senator Norris charged that bank
ing firms in which Secretary Mellon
is interested were allowed liberties
under the consolidated returns pro-
visions of the law depite contrary
findings by treasury investigator.
Senator Couzens, who engaged in
a dispute two years ago with Mellon
on whether high surtaxes drove cap
ita1 into tax-exempt securities, told
tho senate today that figures coll
lected by the special committee which
investigated the. internal revenue bu-
reau under his chairmanship defin-
itely "dispel the fallacy of that argu-
ment''
