Avoid colds or '|flu" by
doing two easy things
Keep your system in
good condition
protect your nose
and throat

THERE is no use worrying all
L. winter for fear you will catch
cold or get FLU. Do the following
two things and forget it: First, keep
your system in good condition, and,
second, keep your nose and throat
well protected. The chances are you
will avoid eontagion.
As a first precaution, many doctors
are prescribing Nujol. 1t is not a
laxative or cathartic but a pure,
natural substance that helps your
9-stem function at all times the way
Stature intended it to. Like pure
water, it is harmless. Physicians
agree that, particularly in times OF
epidemic, purging by laxatives and
cathartics is not advisable.
Many doctors are now prescribing
Nulol, as in no case does it cause ex-
haustion or weakening of the sys-
TEN in any way. Take it every night;
it will keep you in first class condi-
ton. You will have a far better
chance to resist colds or FLU" or
anydiseases that are going therounds.
As a second safety measure, use
Mistol, as it protects the nose and
throat against the germs of innu-
enza. Use it every morning, the first
thing, before you go out. Again,
when you come home at night.
Don't be afraid to use it freely; it
will do no harm.

Will Rogers
Says:

NEW YORK, January 9.-These
so-called peace treaties are funny
thing. The Democrats had one years
ago, but nobody wanted peace just
because the Democrats suggested it..
We have had 10 years of peace
without any treaty, but now the Re-
publicans want to make it even more
peaceful. You ask EN-: Does 1t
prevent ware" NO" Does it pre-
vent peace?" mo" "Is it for any
thing?" No" us it against any,
thing?" NO" I think the whole
thing is just to find out if we can

HOUSE SEATS BECK
TO END LONG FIGH
Pennsylvania Representative les
Only Few Weeks of Term
Left to Serve.

The right of James NJ Beck, form.
solicitor general, to seat as Repub-
lican Representative from the first
Pennsylvania district Gas upheld in the
House late yesterday with less than two
months of his term remaining. The
House first rejected resolution to
unseat him, which has been gathering
dust in a committee pigeonhole for
more than year.
A short time later, with an over
whelming chorus of ayes, it adopted an
other resolution to give him the seat.
The vote to reject the resolution to UNI
seat Mr.. Beck was PAT to 10.
The vote was taken after almost three
hours of debate over the constitutional
question of whether Beck was an in
habitant of Pennsylvania at the ''time
OF his election. The question was raised
| on the first day of the last session by
Representative Garrett of Tennessee
the Democratic leader.
Although the point had been raised
by the Democratic leader and opposition
in the committee largely had been car
ried on by members of the minority
party, the final vote found many South
ern and Eastern Democrats climbing
over the party fence to join the almost
unanimous Republican vote against
/ adoption of the resolution to unseat.
Beck, sitting beside Representative
| Tilson of Connecticut, after the result
had been announced. asked the privilege
of addressing the House briefly.
His talk was a brief one, applauded
alike by Democrats and Republicans, in
| which he thanked the members for
1T ~Ic4~-
clared he knew the minority leader was
not actuated by any feeling of partisan
ship when the question was raised
The opposition, led by Representatives
Browning of Tennessee and Kent OF
Pennsylvania, Democrats. argued Beck
should not be seated, contending he had
made his home in Washington.
