Lost 20 LBS. OF Fat
In Just 4 Weeks

Mrs. Mae West of st. Louis, Mo-.
writes: I'm only % yrs old and
weighed 40 lbs. until taking one box
of your Kruschen Salts just 4 weeks
ago. l now weigh $50 lbs. l also
have more energy and furthermore
I've never had hungry moment"
Fat folks should take one half tea
spoonful of Kruschen Salts in a glass
of hot water in the morning before
breakfast-it's the SAFE, haymless
way to reduce as tens of thousands
of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and
get Kruschen at-any drugstore-the
cost for bottle that lasts weeks is
but a trifle and if after the first bottle
you are not joyfully satisfied with re-
sults-money back.

What came near proving an excit-
ing incident is reported at a recent
basketball tournament. During lull
between games a man started to walk
across the floor, thereby becoming
quite conspicuous to the several hun
dred spectators. He became still more
conspicuous when a bottle slipped out
of his pocket and fell to the floor
making a sound something like the
report of a gun. Fortunately the
bottle did not break and the fluid,
probably motor oil, remained intact
as he recovered the bottle, calmly
pocketed it and walked off the floor
while the band softly struck up "How

Police to Give Vets
48 Hours in Capital

Plans for handling several
thousand World War veterans
making up the "bonus brigade, -
who are converging on Washing.
ton from all directions to press
claims for an immediate cash
bonus, went forward today at full
speed as leaders at the Capitol
indicated that Congress could not
speed a vote on pending bonus
legislation in order to stop the
invasion.
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glass
ford, superintendent of police,
went to the White House with
that suggestion yesterday and
then took it to leaders of Con-
gress. Unofficially. he was re-
ported to have received no en-
couragement. ,
The bulk of the expedition"
is expected to reach here by
June 8 and about that time
General Glassford plans to give
all the UNLIMITED visitors" 40
hours to get out of town.
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, director
of Public Buildings and Parks,
suggested today that, lacking ade,
quate housing facilities, the army
of bonus-seeking veterans might
be accommodated in tent city
on the circus lot at Florida Ave
nue. and Sixth Street Northeast.
The 48-hour limit has been is
sued in the face of threats from
the veterans that they will stay
here until 1945 unless definite &C,
ton is taken on the bonus bill.
The bill was turned down by
the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.

leaders had informed Mr.. Hoover
they were willing to accept any
prohibition plank that was agree
able to the Idahoan.
Naturally, Mr.. Hoover was
anxious to ascertain Senator
Borahs views. 1t was the first
time the Idahoan had crossed
the White House threshold in
months.
ConcluSiOnS-If Any-.Secret
1t was after Borah's visit to the
White House that the President
called in a group of leaders from
outside of Washington who have
been most active in promoting
the resubmission plan-Charles
D. Hilles, of New York; Joseph r.
Mutt, Cleveland; Frank F.. Burke,
PittsburSh, and Postmaster Gen.
eral Walter F.. Brown, perhaps
the most industrious of all in
pushing it.
If they came to any conclusions
the fact was carefully concealed.
On the contrary, the impression
strongly obtained that the meet
ing broke up at SKIES and sevens,
with the resubmiSsionistS sticking
to their guns, and Mr.. Hoover's
earlier confidence in the wisdom
of their course badly shaken.
Borah is a consistent and sin
cere dry. He is one of the small
minority in Congress that votes
as he drinks.
Firm COnStitutiOnalist
AS a constitutionalist, he takes
the position that the Eighteenth
Amendment must be taken from
the Constitution, if it is to be
taken, in the same manner it
was put in-that is, by action of
two-thirds of the House and Sen
ate and three-fourthS of the
States.
President Hoover is extremely
desirous of having the eloquent
Idahoan on his side in the forth
coming battle. He has not for
gotten the yeoman Work done
by Borah in 1923, when he grimly
traiIed Al Smith through State
sfter State in the West, attacking
Smiths wetness with forensic
fury of which only Borah is
capable.
More than any other single
individual, Borah inflamed the
West against the Democratic can
didate four years ago.
Now, the vision of Borah
stumping in opposition to the
Republican platform and its can
didates in 1882 on the wet-and-
dry issue, or, worse still, form
ing an alliance with Clifford
Pinchot, of Pennsylvania, in a
third-party dry ticket, is one
that is exceedingly uncomforta-
BILE to contemplate.
The ere thought of it has
reduced the Republican high
command to a state of uncer-
tainty and indecision.

N. Y. Democrat Denies levy
Would Burden Poor and
Ease That of the Rich

GdSE IIIdl W lIIC ntVIl
A "growing sentiment" in
Congress for the sales tax was
reported to President Hoover
today by Senator Smoot (R)
of Utah.
Smoot went to the White
House to discuss the general
legislative situation, he said.
He refused to predict when the
tax bill would be passed.
Senator Copeland CD OF New
York, who also called at the White
House, said that in his opinion
the only way the budget can be
balanced lis by adoption of the
sales tax or an outrageous income
tax"
Copeland Cites Fallacy
Copeland said the arguments
used by opponents of the sales tax
that it was designed to tax the
poor to tighten the burden OF the
rich was sheer fallacy. With food,
clothing and other essentials ex-
empted very little of a sales tax
burden would fall upon the poor.
he asserted, but would be carried
by those with large incomes.
Meanwhile the general sales
tax was specifically injected into
the tax battle in the Senate to-
day,
Walsh Substitute Up
Senator Walsh CD of MaSsa-
chusetts introduced his amend
ment to substitute the sales tax
for the excise taxes and high
income tax rate. -.
He asked that the amendment
be printed and served notice he
would ask that it be considered
within a day or two. He also
presented a report with his
amendment.
Walsh's action came at a time
when proponents OF the sales tax
were claiming a majority of the
Senate was in favor of it and
House leaders predicted its pass
age if sent back by the Senate.
Said Senator Reed (RO of Penn
Sylvania:
"a majority Of the Senate
now favors the general manu-.
fRcturers sales tax"
Senator Glass CD Of Virginia,
q former Secretary of the Treas
ury, announced he would support
the sales tax as a substitute for
miscellaneous taxes.
Fur Levy Approved
The first tax approved by the
Senate today was a 10 per cent
manufacturers excise levy on
furS. This tax was expected to
yield $15,000,000.
Republican and Democratic
leaders of the Senate united today
in a nonpartisan pledge to main.
tain the gold standard in America
by balancing the budget through
the new tax bill.
Their statement was issued
after the Senate wrote some
$60,00O,O00 of miscellaneous
excises into the bill.
This paved the way for a con-
test over the sales tax, since
opponents of the special taxes
protested against alleged discrim-
ination and demanded that all
industry share the burden of a
moderate manufacturers tax.
Check Tax Fought
The pledge to balance the
budget was made by Senator
Watson, Republican floor leader;
Senator Robinson, Democratic
floor leader; Senator Smoot. Re
publican chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee; Senator
Harrison, ranking Democrat on
that committee; Senator Reed,
the so-called Treasury spokesman,
and Senator Walsh CD of
Massachusetts.
The pending question in the
tax war related to the two-cent
tax on checks. There was a de-
termined drive to exempt all
checks under SIS from the tax.
