Two of the great enemies to youth and vitality are delayed elimination and intestinal poisons. To keep your self free from both these common difli- culties will help you to stay young.
 With the use of Nuiol you can do it too. For Nujol has a peculiar affinity for body poisons. Absorbs them and carries them of, because Nujol can't be absorbed by the body. Nujol also softens the waste matter and brings about normal evacuation. It is harm less; contains no drugs or medicine. Perfected by the Chemical Products Division of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey.
 You can take Nujol with perfect safety under any conditions. It won't cause gas or griping pains, or affect the stom- ach or kidneys. Make sure you get the genuine. Look for the Nujol bottle with the label on the back that you can read right through the bottle. Don't delay, get Nujol today.

 TAX CUT RIDERS
Deficiency Appropriation Bill Expected to Go to Vote Today

Washington. Jan. 2S P - The S4,000,00o deficiency bill headed l toward vote in the senate today after having withstood democratic attempts to clothe 1t with tax re- duction amendments. It still had another last minute rider of a similar nature to conquer, but re- publican leaders had planned to block this, like the others, with a point of order.
 Before the senate recessed late yesterday after witnessing the ab- rupt collapse. under rulings by Vice President Dawes, of demo- cratic efforts to get the republi- cans on record against tax reduc- ton at this session. Senator Harri- son, democrat, Mississippi, pro- posed an amendment making the corporation income tax 13 per cent for 1925, 13 1-2 per cent for 1926 and Il per cent for this year and hereafter. Senator Curtis, the ma jority leader. said the amendment would be subject to point of or der
 While the republicans emerged from the political maneurering yesterday with parliamentary advantage, the democrats claimed a moral one on the ground that it would emphasize to the people that the party in power was re- sponsible for the failure at this time to effect further tax relief.

 OCEAN WATERWAY
Report Strongly Recommends
 Using St. Lawrence

Washington. Jan. 2S F-Econom- ofa Great Lakes-to Atlantic water way via the St. Lawrence river were outlined in a lengthy report submit ted to the commerce department to- day by two of it's experts.
 Based on a prolonged study of the subject, the report, prepared by F. s. GreSg and A. Lane Gricher, said the proposed St. Lawrence ship can al would develop at the outset be- tween 19,00O,000 and 24,000,000 long tons of traffic annually and would enable the mid-western farmer to get wheat from Chicago or Duluth to Liverpool where the international price is made, at a cost at least F cents per bushel lower than that he now pays.
 A 27-foot channel into the Great Lakes would admit S1 per cent of the deadweight tonnage of ocean vessels now coming to the United States and the St. Lawrence chan nel would develop much greater amount to traffic than the other projects, which contemplate a con- nection with the Hudson river and Lake Ontario. either with or with out an American canal between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
 The actual cost of transporting a ton of freight 10 Liverpool from Lake Erie via the St. Lawrence would be $l.S1, the report estimated, charge from Lake Ontario to the

SEEKING TO SIGN 1. COBB AND SPEAKER
Clubs Bidding for Services Of
 Two Baseball Stars

Chicago, Jan. 2S R-The rattling of baseball skeletons has blended into the tinkling of gold as baseball clubs, major and minor, bid for the services of the two southerners- Ty Cobb of Georgia, and Iris Speak CT. of Texas.
 Formally exonerated of charges that hinted of fixed" game and of betting by the two. Speaker and Cobb today were the center of man. American League where they long have been outstanding performers, but in the National, the Internation- al and ambitious Blue Ridge League as we'll.
 By decision of Commissioner Lam dis yesterday, and by subsequent ac- ton on the part of the owners of the Detroit and Cleveland clubs. which Cobb and Speaker respectively man aged last year, the players are now free agents, able to make whatever arrangements they desire for their EaSepdll IuluTe.
 Technically each is on the reserve list of his club. President Frank J. Navin. of the Detroit Tigers, how ever, informed Cobb by telegraph yesterday that he may dicker with any American League team he cares to, and that his transfer from De- troit will be effected without cost to the club that may wish to sign the Georgian.
 President E. s. Barnard of Cleve- land pointed out that while he per sonaliy was delighted with Speakers exoneration, it would not be good for baseball" for Speaker to appear this year in a Cleveland uniform. President Barnard said that follow ing Speakers retirement" last fall, a new manager was signed whose contract could not be broken, and that he did not believe it would be right for Speaker to be merely a player on a, team which for eight years he managed.
 There was much talk Of offers for the services for both Cobb and Speaker. but thus far negotiations have not reached farther than the "feeler" stage.
 Speaker who has not played ball as long as the Georgian, has shown himself still to be a fast, shrewd quick throwing fielder despitet his gray locks. Cobb remains a danger ous batsman, a sure fielder, and a crafty baserunner, despite slowing limbs.

Hudson was included, and $3.97 if an all-American route was followed.
 These higher costs, it was added, would probably restrict the Great Lakes to-ocean business to abo-t 20,000,000 tons year.
 While wheat would be the chief commodity moved. the experts con- cluded that very large tonnages of crude and refined copper, agricul- tural and autom otive machinery. meat. and steel products generally would promptly flow into such a new channel.
 It also was estimated that nearly 60 per cent of the country's present intake of crude rubber probably would pass through the waterway. and perhaps half of the coffee and tea. The mid-western territory now somewhat handicapped by the direct and indirect influence of cheaper intercoastal communication made possible by the Panama Canal would benefit greatly, the report said.

Forty High School Girls
 Cause Nearly a Riot

Chicago, Jan. 2S.-UP)-- Forty girl students of the Harrison techni- cal high school today have their diplomas, but only after q near riot when relatives discovered the girls had been kept out of the graduating body.
 When the graduating class as sembled it was found 40 of the girls were missing. Charles E. Hensby uncle of one of the girls, started an investigation and found them in an office room where they had been sent for violation of a minor school rule.
 He announced to the other rela- tives where the girls were and many of the mothers and fathers rushed Ito the stage. Frank l.. Morse. prin- cipal of the school. was hoisted from his chair and told he would not be allowed to go ahead with the gradu- iation exercises until the girls were

Clark Griffith president of the Washington Senator's. has asked Speaker to join that club. Colonel Jacob Rupert, speaking for the New York Yankees, of which he is president, said the Yankees "are interested in both players, especially Speaker"
 Then. too, there is an opening awaiting Speaker in the Philadelphia Americans outfield. Speaker has accepted an invitation to attend the morrow night of the Veteran Ath- letes Association, and Connie Mack of the Athletics expects to see him then. Mack said he would like to have Speaker. but has made no of fers to him.
 President Navin of the Tigers who also is acting head of the American League, made it clear in his message 10 Cobb that the Georgia Jewel may negotiate with any club in the American League" This was view cd by some as warning to the Ma tional League to keep its hands off.
 There have been rumors of Q deal that would transfer Cobb to Cleveland, Speaker to Detroit. Cobb also has been offered s25,o00 for q years contract to play with the Baltimore Internationals.
 Cobb said he would not accept this offer, although he appreciated it. He previously had indicated he might not play baseball this year.
 Martinsburg. w. Va, in the Blue Ridge League is so anxious to have Cobb that it has offered him virtual ly the entire club if he will accept the presidency of the organization for 1927. A new park and the club franchise were among the induce ments held out to the Georgian who made no comment on the offer.
 Cobb's decision about playing Is not mirrored in Speaker, who all ready is in training for the season and admittedly looking about for the best 1927 contract.

PANAMA SEEKING
 TREATY CHANGES
Existing Agreements Not Satis-
 factory, PresO Chiari Complains

Panama. Jan. es [p = Ricardo United States, who came here to explain certain points of the new Panama United States treaty. has been ordered to return to Wash ington for conference with Secre- tary of State Kellogg on the pos sibility of reopening the treaty ne- gotiations.
 The Panaman president, Rodolfo Chiari, in an interview with the Associated Press correspondent. de- clared he always considered the treaty did not meet with the hopes, interests or needs of the country"
 But" he added, '.after negotia- tions lasting more than two years we signed the pact as the best ob- tainable despite it's lanentable tn- conveniences for US Panamans. However. if the opportunity is available and if the United States state departments attitude is pro- pitious for new parleys which might result in benefiting our in- terests, we will earnestly make all possible efforts to comply with the assem bly's resolution, for our sat isfaction as q government and as Panamans."
 The president was referring to the resolution drawn up by the Panaman congress for suspending consideration of the treaty pend ing efforts by the executives to ob- tain a more satisfactory solution.
 The Panama-U United States treaty, against which popular sentiment in Panama has been growing, provides for transit through Panama of United States armed forces in time of peace, and stipulate. that Pan ana shall declare herself in a state of war in case of any war in which the United States is 8 bel ligerent.
 Other provisions bind Panama to cooperate In every way possible in defending the Panama canal, to give to the United States complete control over all radio and cable communications and supervision over aviation centers and aircraft, and to turn over to the United States for perpetual occupation part of Manzanilla island at the Atlantic terminus of the canal, and the harbor of Colon.
 Washington announced Thursday

that proposed changes in the treaty were under discussion be- tween the American and Panaman governments, but it was insisted by the state department that only re- visions of a minor character. not affecting the substance of the treaty were being taken under ad- visement. "

sure Of golfing experts today.
|. The match with Thorburn was
keenly contested. After losing the fif
teenth hole by missing a putt of a
yard. Haley came back on the six
teenth and seventeenth with fine play,
including two striking second shots,
that brought victory. At the six
teenth he used a spoon for his second
and boldly sent the ball straight over
the out-of-bounds territory to the
green edge. Maj. Thorbur2 tried to
follow. but was lost in the wilderness.
Taking par 4 for this 394yard hole
the American became dormie 2.
AT the seventeenth hole Haley's
drive was short, but he pulled an iron
out of his bag and sent the ball
whizzing 225 yards to the treacherous
green surrounded by bunkers and an
iron fence at the rear. The ball stop
ped dead four yards from tsa pin.
Again the gallant major attempted
to follow. He had outdriven Haley by
40 yards, but his mashie dropped like
a dud shell into the bunker The

the sand. but failed. Another blast
brought the ball to the edge of the
green, but he had taken four already
