EARLY COLDS BEST
Late Season Ills Last
Longer, Studies Show.
Nv Science Service

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Get your
colds early this winter, if you would
get over them readily.
Industrial hygiene studies con-
Quoted by the United States Public
Health Service show, stated DR..
Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general,
that respiratory disease having
their onset in late winter and early
spring tend to be more prolonged
than those which begin in the early
part Of the winter"
A lower resistance toward colds
was shown by industrial employees
toward the end Of the winter than
at the beginning, he said.
One-half of the time lost from
work on account of illness can be
directly traced to respiratory dis
eases, DR.. Cumming told the house
appropriations committee, stating
that the United States public health
service bases this conclusion on
studies of dato from two different
sources.
The common cold, he said, &C
counted for II per cent of the total
respiratory diseases in the record of
one day or longer. In the records of
sickness covering eight days or
longer influenza and grippe occupy
first place in frequency.

recommend. Each day the Konjola
Man, who is at the Hook Drug
Store, Illinois and Washington

ports from former sufferers about
the manner in which Konjola re-
stored their health. The Konjola
Man makes no promises or claims
for Konjola-he merely points out
facts. the surprising accomplish
ments of this master medicine.
Gases like that of Mr.. Merle j
Brown, 1852 hardwood avenue, Uni
versity Heights, Indianapolis, and
that of his son Master Cleo Clifton
Brown, are not unusual to Konjola.
Read the statement of Mr.. Brown,
as he told it to the Konjola Man
a few days ago:
Not only has Konjola benefited
me to an amazing extent but it has
also given new strength and health
to my son, 6 years old. We were
both in rundown condition. had
suffered for eight years from
stomach trouble, constipation and
many symptoms of stomach trouble.
Among them we're gas bloating, a
sour condition and a gnawing SEN
sation in the pit of my stomach.
Due TO constipation was unable to
throw on the poisons in my system.
My kidneys became weak and caused
severe pains throughout my body.
I was weak and nervous and for
three weeks I was confined to my
home with lumbago. My son, Cleo,
who is 6 years old had been in a
nervous state ever since infancy. He
was never a strong and healthy
child. He was underWeight. very pale
and was afflicted with stomach
disorder. Meals never appealed to
him., and when he did eat, he al
ways complained about pains and
uncomfortable feelings, afterward.
He was subject to colds, failed to
sleep well and was becoming very
Sickly boy. / was very worried about
him.
"Konjola was so strongly recon-
mended TO me that / decided to
give it trial I started taking it
first and gained amazing benefits
from it. My stomach and kidneys
were regulated. strengthened and
cleansed before ] had hardly started
the treatment. ! found that food
of any kind digested perfectly
Sound sleep was restored to me and
all aches and pains driven from my
body. Konjola regulated my bowels
so that the poisons in my system
were properly eliminated. When /
saw how Konjola helped me l de-
cided to give it to my son. Now, I
want to say that four bottles made a
different child of him. He eats well
sleeps like top and has gained in
strength and weight. All signs of
nervousness disappeared and have
never returned. 1t is a marvellous
thing the way Konjola won two
victories right in my own home.

This is not an exceptional case

CONGRESS FAR
OVER LIMIT IN
VOTING FUNDS
Appeal to Coolidge for Way
Out of Puzzle on
Finances Seen.
BY PAUL R. MALLoN
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-Congres-
sional appropriations authorized for
government expenses next year thus
far have exceeded by nearly $751;
100000 the appropriations made for
he same governmental departments
this fiscal year, tabulation COM
piled by the United Press showed.
The figure represents $l,20O,0o0
more than authorized by the budget
bureau and marks the first time in
several years that congress has ex-
ceeded the limit of expense set by
the bureau.
Government statisticians are wor-
ried about the increases in view OF
President Coolidge's warning at the
start of congress that the treasury
is in a precarious financial position.
Another cause for worry is the con-
templated expense for the naval
cruiGer building program, and the
farm relief bill, which will come out
of next years expenses.
A table of the three bills Thurs
day thus far passed or near passage
shows the following increases:

Chairman Anthony of the house
appropriations committee warns the
treasury is facing a deficit of from
SIS, 100000 to $40,000,000 this year,
whereas Coolidge had expected a
slight margin of surplus.
The remaining appropriation bills
to be passed this session include
chose of the agriculture, war and
navy departments and for the Dis
trict of Columbia and congress. The
budget bureau has contemplated no
increases in any Of these groups
except in the appropriation for the
agriculture department,
If the navy and farm bills are
passed the total government ex-
pense which will be inherited by
President-elect Hoover for the first
year Of his administration may ap-
proximate S4,00O000,000. or $780,
100000 more than Mr.. Coolidge
thought advisable.
The matter will be laid before
Coolidge as soon as he returns from
his southern vacation, in hopes he
may find some way out of the finan-
eial dilemma.

New Magic with Dice

HERE is a new game with two
- dice. 1t Is really a puzzle,
for he who would win must find
the best throws TO make.
Two opponents play with one
die each. The first lays down
his dice with a certain number Of
dots upward. The second player
lays down his with q number
that he think sought 10 come next.
Then the first player turns over
his dice TO another number, and
this j. followed by the second
with a new number. IL is i'm
pOrtant TO count together the
numbers as they appear. The
player who lays down his dice so
that the dots together with those
already shown add up so, wins
the game. Thus, suppose "A lays
down his dice with 6 showing, b
shows 2, making a total Of s. "a
shows /, followed by B with 6,
making Is in all. "A follows
with 6 and Is with a making a
total of %. Now A turns up 8,
making so, and he has won.
How must A turn up his num-
bers SO that he may always win
whether he plays first or second?
IL is very simple.
