My bowels now function properly. and I fee, a great deal better in general. I am going to continue with the treatment and I am only too glad Q recommend this medicine to anyone suffering with disorders of the stomach"

HOOVER IS READY
/. FOR MARCH 4; FEW
DETAILS UNSETTLED
Inaugural Address Is About
Prepared to Go to
Printer.
CABINET SELECTIONS
ALSO NEARLY SETTLED
Attorney Generalship and secrs-
tary of Agriculture Declared to
Be Still Undecided.

With Inauguration day slightly more
than a week away, President-elect
Hoover has virtually completed his In
augural address and has very little
more to do In the selection of his cabi-
net, 1t was said today by one of his
close friends.
His inaugural address. upon which he
has been working for more than four
weeks, Is said TO have reached that
stage where only few touches are
necessary before II will be ready for the
printer. AS for the cabinet, Mr.. Hoo
yer is said to be facing not more than
one or two problems. II Is believed that
he has not yet made up his mind re-
garding the attorney generalship. and
that he probably Is still little uncer-
tain as to the Agricultural Department
Concern Caused.
From all appearances Mr.. Hoover IS
not especially worried about these two
gaps in his cabinet making. which Is
taken to mean that he will reach a de-
cision very shortly II he has not al
ready done so. Also. there are no indi-
cations that he has any intention OF
making public the names Of the indiHd-
ualS he has chosen to sit about his
cabinet table, until he sends their
nominations to the Senate, March 4.
1t Is understood that a conference
today with Senator Brookhart, Republi-
can, OF Iowa. was concerned principally
with the selection Of Secretary OF
Agriculture, and regarding the agricul-
ture relief legislation. Senator Brook
hart. although a supporter OF the Nc
-Nary-Haugen plan of agriculture re-
lief, championed the cause OF Mr..
Hoover during the last campaign. II Is
understood that the latter is looking to
the Iowa Senator TO throw his support
to Mr.. Hoover's plans for agriculture re-
lief legislation when 1t comes before the
extra session.
COnfers With NORM.
President-elect Hoover conferred also
with Representative Mcrin OF Pennsyl-
vania. chairman Of the military affairs
committee of the House. II was init
mated that they discussed principally
Muscle Shoals legislation. Senator
Borah OF Idaho dropped in on the
President-elect at his street home
yesterday to introduce John w. Hart
OF Idaho, former Republican national
committeeman of that State.
PreSident-elect Hoover and Mrs.
Hoover intend to attend religious serv-
ices tomorrow. but they had not de-
cided today which of the Friends meet
ing houses they will attend.
