SPEAKS FOR Family
ON IMPORTANT SUBJECT
REM unanimous
choice for coughs

The first that Mrs. J. M. Sullivan
of BIB Hillcrest Ave-, Cleveland,
knew about REM was when her
brother told her about it. 1t had
ended a bad cough for him and
he thought it would do as much
for her. 1t did. Md it went even
further. AS Mrs. Sullivan herself
puts it: "My mother, father,
husband and myself all get coughs
at times during the winter, but
the bottle of REM we keep in
the house always relieves us and
we wouldn't be without it"
Simple coughs usually yield to a
single bottle, and that is why
REM is so economical, despite
the fact that it contains a special
ingredient too costly for ordinary
cough sytups. If REM doesn't
relieve you promptly, your Drug
gist is authorized to return your
money. What could be fairer
than that?

Finds REM brings
quick cough relief

The Drummond family Of 1922
Watson Ave-, st. Paul, Mimi,
enjoy good health at most times,
but coughs do come their way
occasionally. Mrs. Drummond,
one time, was suffering from a
bad cough when a kindly neigh
Dor recommended REM. To Mrs.
Drummond's delight, rem re-
ieved me almost at once and
I've had a good word for it ever
since" Later on when little
Florence got a cough, what more
natural than that her mother
should remember her own happy
experience with REM. And once

COUGHS kept The
JOHNS0NS awake
Till REM brought
grateful relief

Jack and ''Billy Jean" Johnson Of
2705 Wood Ave-, Kansas City,
used to get bad coughs each
winter. and their mother was
more or less resigned to losing
several nights sleep whenever a
cough arrived. Then she saw a
REM ad and bought a bottle at
Reynolds Drug Store at 25th
and Garfield. Now she stops her
children's coughs before they
have a chance to get a good start.
''We get more sleep than any
winter before" she adds. Restless
nights don't do coughs any good,
and many a person has REM to
thank for a good nights sleep. If
REM doesn't relieve your cough
quickly, your druggist is author
lied to give your money back.
The fact that not one in thou
sand ever wanted it back tells
a story as convincing as Mrs.
Johnson's.

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives
A Young Texan In Limelight

According to Washington advices, Alexander w.
Gregg of Washington and New York may be the sue
cessor of David w. Blair as the head Of the internal
revenue department Of the government. Collector
Blair has rendered his resignation and the president
would like to draft young Gregg for the place. Alex
ander W. Gregg Is a native Texan. He is 80. He is
a lawyer. He is a cousin of John Gregg, president
of the Merchants National Bank of Brownsville.
Andrew W. Mellon found him in the treasury de-
partment in 1921. Young Gregg became one OF his
favorite clerks and this man who speaks for a bill
lion dollars made the discovery that the Texan knew
more about the income tax law and all other taxation
laws than any Of his subordinates. Gregg was rapid
ly advanced. He handled many important cases. He
represented the government in the famous case
against Henry Ford. He became famous from ocean
to ocean as the last word when it came to taxation.
In 1928 he resigned from the service, hung out his
shingle and won a large practice. Now Hoover and
Mellon are said to be etermine that the name of
Alec w. Gregg shall reappear on the government pay
Palestine is the home Of Gregg. His father was a
Texas congressman. The son fought his way to the
top. He is or was a democrat. This made no differ
ence when it came to promotion. Mellon backed him
all the way. Mellon knows brains or ability and
with the head Of the treasury department the man
who is able to make the grade is the man who takes
down the bacon.

Hoover Warns Farmers

President Hoover has sounded a warning against
farm relief discord.'" He has let it be known that
in his opinion, failure of the farmers organization to
agree to a compromise means the defeat of all the
plans advanced. He is emphatic in his declaration
that his election was a clear mandate for the Kansas
City platform plan. This is his definition Of the
Kansas City platform plan:
1T represented an effort to get together and Sc
cure fundamental beginnings, and necessitated the
yielding of views by all concerned; that it was sup
ported by all elements of the party in the campaign
and that upon 1t the party had a clear mandate from
the people"
This is a presidential hint that the sky is cloudy
and the road Is rocky-"division in the ranks Of the
farmers themselves encourage those who oppose all
farm relief and can at best only bring great delays
and danger of entire failure"
Now the national grange, the pioneer among all
the farm organizations, is for the debenture plan and
the debenture plan is not acceptable to the president.
Changers or the farmers who make up the member
ship Of the national grange are among the most con-
sentative of American farmers. They are a power
in the New England states and in Pennsylvania and
New York and New Jersey.
Yes, the sky is cloudy; the road is rocky and the
outlook isn't rosy.

Farmers and Their Ills

Calvin Coolidge, as president Of the United States,
bludgeoned the equalization fee of the McNary bill.
President Hoover has bludgeoned, in a letter to
the author of the bill, the export debenture plan of
relief. There are 100000 American farmers and
their dependents. Representatives Of wheat and cot
ton farmers backed the equalization fee. Many of
these representatives are said to be strong for the
export debenture plan.
1t Is a self-evident fact that the wheat and cotton
farmers think they know what they want but repub-
lican presidents think what the farmers want would
inflict disaster upon the nation as well as the farmer.
Perhaps in the long run the farmer will be COM
PEELED to furnish his own relief. President Hoover
says the debenture plan would be a gigantic gift from
the government and the public of from 5000 O00, 900
to s4Oo,0oo,0OO a year and that the dealers and man
ufacturers and spectators would get the money.
Speaking for the southern cotton farmer he needs
a foreign market for his surplus. Now the surplus
fixes the price here at home and that's that.

Is Mitchell a Democrat?

Many of the political writer's for daily newspapers
as we'll as magazines constantly refer to Attorney
General William D. Mitchell as a democrat.
Is he a democrat? If so, what brand Of a DEM
ocrat?
He voted for Charles Evans Hughes against Wood
row Wilson: he voted for Warren G. Harding against
James M Cox; he voted for Calvin Coolidge against
John w. Davis: he voted for Herbert Hoover against
Alfred E. Smith. Woodrow Wilson was a war presi-
dent of the United States. Woodrow Wilson gave to
the people the federal reserve act. Woodrow Wilson
gave to the world the League of Nations.
Now why should William D. Mitchell be classified
as a democrat or why should the political writer's for
daily newspapers and magazines, writers who are not
democrats, be permitted to parade the attorney gen.
eral as a Simon-pure democrat who deserted the
democratic party to vote for Herbert Hoover for pres
ident of the United States?

Once, while Charlie had been
picnicking on Exmoor a hunted
deer had suddenly bounded out Of
a little clump of buches, and, for
an instant, had stood stock still be-

Cunningham's expression.

her eyes. But the next moment she
was fighting it.
How did your accident occur?"
she asked, trying to forget her own
troubles. Il haven't heard"
Il went over a stone" replied
Charlie, hating himself for the lie.
He had told plenty Of lies in his

his throat. His excuse was that
he was really lying on her behalf.

Health and Right Living
BIZ ROYAL S. COPELAND, M. ID.
Former Commissioner of Health,

Fortunate indeed Is the babe
born in an enlightened land. With
popular education and widespread
instruction in the care Of infants,
the American baby Is blessed in
deed.
When we contrast the scientific
feeding Of u youngsters with
what is done in certain lands, we
must rejoice that we know how to
car for the little ones. I want
you to read how a recent writer
describes the care of infants in one
part Of the Orient.
After a beautiful tribute to the
mother love, telling how the child
is idolized, the author lamentS the
Ignorance Of the uneducated and
uniformed parent. The mother
would never discipline the child
even though she knew the meaning
OF the word" Listen:
"She has not the vaguest con-
ception how to feed him or de-
velop him. Her idea Of a suffi-
Gent meal is to tie a string around
his little brown body and stuff him
till the string bursts"
Isn't this terrible?
Thank God. the mothers Of mod
ern civilization are not limited in
their knowledge Of how to feed a
baby. Neither are they bound by
the business of tradition. Our
mothers are eager to find the very
best way to deal with their chill
dren and they are free to apply
their knowledge. That is why the
infant death rate is steadily de-
creasing.
I have often said that the de-
gree Of civilization Is measured by
the infant deaths. That standard
determines the progress of a COM
! shall never forget the quiet and
modest admonition of the chief
personal assistant to the commits
sloner soon after I took charge OF
the health department of New
York City. This good woman call
ed my attention to a graphic
chart, showing the infant deaths
The success or failure Of your
administration will be determined
by what Is added to this chart dur
ing your administration.
The full significance OF thi;
statement did not dawn upon me
at once. But the more I learned
OF public health work, the more ]
became convinced that the way we
care for our babies determines oui
humanity, our scientific knowl-
edge. our real civic progress.
There Is little more to say to-
day. 1t is enough to add that the
foundation of health is laid in the
early years Of life. The usefulness
Of the adult. the ability to think
straight and to work hard, the
physique to meet successfully the
contests of life-all these depend
on the mother wisdom applied ir
those early years.
From time to time, infant feed-
ing will be discussed in this col
umn. No American mother viii
depend on the breaking Of a string
as a rest Of sufficient feeding. She
will know exactly what must BIZ
fed, how much must be fed, anc
what must not be given her baby

Star Lore
The Dark Areas on the Moon.
By Arthur D. CARPENTER


Could one view the earth from a
position on the moon, he would see
many parts over its surface obScured
by clouds. AS the earth'S atmo-
sphere cleared, there would be times
when the sun would be seen beauti-
fully mirrored upon the surface of
the oceans. In the same way. if
there were oceans on the moon, the
sun would be reflected in them. In
the early days Of lunar observation,
it was thought the dark markings
on the moon might be seas, and
they were SO named. 1t WaS a mis-
take, however. The dark markings
are largely due to une~51 lunar
surfaces causing the SUI. Il to be
poorly reflected from the moon.

WASHINGTON, April 26-It has become quite a
habit with us of late as we wander through the COR
ridors of the many government buildings in Wash
ington to keep on the lookout for those agencies and
people engaged in tasks about little is known.
1t is surprising how many there are. In some
instances these little known workers are to be found
in places far off the beaten track. They start a job,
work at it day by day, and often finish it with only
a few outside their immediate offices knowing any
thing about it.
Our latest find was just the other day in the navy
building. 1t was a federal board, working under au-
thorization from congress. compiling a federal stock
catalog.
