.Sickly F olks Gain Health,
Strength, Energy-Quick

For one hundred years Cod Liver
Oil has been recognized by physicians
and laymen as the remedy supreme
for malnutrition.
1t is the leading tonic and recon-
structive in wasting diseases and in
convalescence.
In children it promotes growth of
all body cells, especially bones and
teeth and is the one valuable remedy
for ricketts,.
For people who lack rich, red blood,
are anemic, rundown and need more
strength, energy. vigor and activity of
mind and body there Is nothing so quick
in beneficial action as Cod Liver Oh.
But men of science have long known
that it is the Vitamins In Cod Liver
Oil and not the oil itself that brings
robust health and strength to sickly
people.
And surely there is not a man,
woman or child In this wide world
who relishes Cod Liver Oil. 1t Is
repulsive to the taste-unpalatable-
hard to digest.
But now with all that's good and
health-creating IN Cod Liver Oil put
into sugar coated tablets and all the
horrid tasting oil thrown away
people ought to take Cod Liver Oil this
new way-and there are millions OF
them that can rejoice and be ex-
ceedingly thankful.

Cascarets are sweetened with
pure cane sugar and favored with

to relieve me of chronic condition

TO taking this Herb Extract my
stomach was in such a condition
that could not eat and enjoy a
good meal. Every bit of food ] ate
caused gas to form. I was nervous,
restless, always constipated, and suf-
fered a great deal with sharp pains
In the lower part of the stomach.
Catarrh also troubled me q great
deal, seemed to always have q cold,
nothing I ate had the proper taste,
and judging from the way I felt !
think my entire system was full of

my second bottle of this medicine the
bowels were moving regularly, food

and ferment, gas pains passed away.

Curtailment of gasoline production
was suggested to the industry yesterday
bv the Federal Oil Conservation Board.
Operation of ref1neries six days a
week instead of seven was proposed by
the board, which is composed OF four
of President Hoover's cabinet members.
The board also called on the gov
errors OF the oil States of Texas, Okla

the industry the danger of waste that
lies in increasing gasoline stocks.
The following letter was sent by the
board to the three governors:

":NO matter how devised, an
increase In taxes in the end
falls upon the workers and
farmers, or aIternatively de-
prives industry Of that much
ability to give employment and
defeats the very purpose OF
these schemes. For the Gov.
ernn1ent to finance by bond
Issues deprives industry and
agriculture OF just that much
capital for its own use and for
employment. Prosperity cannot
be restored by raids upon the

"The leaders Of both parties
are cooperating to prevent any
such event. Some Of these
schemes are iii considered; some
represent Enthusiasts and some
represent the desire Of individ+
uals to show that they are more
generous than the Administra-
ton, or that they are more gen.

their own parties. They are
playing politics ut the expense
Of human misery.
Hints at LObbieS
MANY of these measures are
being promoted by organizations
and agencies outside Of Con
gress and being pushed upon
members Of Congress. Some OF
them are mistaken as to the re.
suits they will accomplish, and
they are all mistaken as to the
ability of the Federal Govern
ment to undertake such DUR

The fight against the proposed
Of Representative Wood (Ro Of

wage increases in the coming fis-
cal year will be carried on today
on two ronts-before the Senate
appropriations subcommittee on
the Treasury.Postoffice appropria.
tion bill, and on the floor Of the
House, where the Interior De-
partment bill probably will reach
final vote.
There is every indication that
the House will again sustain the
attitude of the House Appropria-
tionS Committee and vote to elimi-
nate the salary increases called
for under the WEIGH act from
its budget.
WOOdrum Leads Fight
"A new angle in the House fight
has been introduced with the pro
test Of Representative Woodrum
Cd Of Virginia, against appro-
priating $4O0,0 900 for the construc-
tion Of a library at Howard Uni

serted in the Interior Department

mittee-at q time when the House
is opposed to placing an addi-

After conducting q lengthy
fight last summer to convince Q
skeptical Senate that a Six-inch
gun cruiser is just as suitable to
American needs as the larger
eight-inch gun type, the admin.
iStration has now decided not to
go ahead with construction Of
the smaller vessels.
Instead, congressional leaders
were informed today that an
effort will be made In the next
conference, in 1886, to have the
treaty amended 80 a. to give
the United States q greater
proportion Of the eight-inch
type.
Program Change Seen
No public announcement Of the
Administrations intentions in this
regard has been made. Probably
none will be. But Congressional
leaders in naval affairs were au-
thority for the statement today
that the 10000 tons of six-inch
cruisers which the United States
is entitled to build under the Lon
don treaty terms will not be laid
down.
The $134, 900, 900 naval building
program taken UP by the House
Naval Committee today contained
provision for but one Six-inch gun
cruiser, and that is Of an expert
mental type. Probably this will
be eliminated before the bill is far
advanced in Congress.
