ARMAL BILL Is
VERY LIABLE TO
Be SUCCESSFUL
O'MahOney Measure Given
Approval Over Black,
Mcclellan Bill
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE
UNITED Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

(UniteO Press STAN COrrespOnueutD
Washington, March 20 (U.P0
A new airmail bill which would
placethe service on the same basis
as railway mail was before the SEN
ate postoffice committee to-day
with informal sentiment indicating
it probably would be approved.
An informal United Press poll of
committee members showed II Of
10 ready to support the new. meas
ure presented by Senator Joseph C..
O'Mahoney, democrat, Wyoming,
rather than the controversial
Black-McKellar bill.
The sentiment appeared to be
shared by some republican COM
mittee members who have been es-
pecially bitter in their attacks on
the original airmail bill. Several
suggested the O'Mahoney bill was
move by the administration to
displace the Black-McKellar pro-
posal.
The measure would end all SUBJ
sides and empower the Interstate
Commerce Commission to fix fair
and reasonable rates.
O'Mahoney said the bill had the
| support of three other democratic
committeeman Senators George
| McGill, Kans, M. M. Logan, Ken
lucky, and John E. Erickson, Mon
tana.
O'Mahoney's proposal differs
| widely from the so-called admins
tration bill. He proposed that the
postmaster general be empowered
to require commercial airliEeS to
| transport mail without contracts
just as railroads carry postal mat
| ter. He believes his plan the only
solution of the troublesome ques-
| ton.
Democrats and republicans alike
agreed that the Black-McKellar bill
was unavoidable and unfair in
some provisions.
| At White House conference
last Sunday, President Roosevelt
was advised by Mcclellan that all
witnesses who appeared before the
committee had opposed clause
that would deny new contracts to
companies asserting any claim
against the government because OF
prior annulments.
| Mcclellan said that provision
would be revised to permit com
mercial operators to contest their
claims in the courts.

 And, say, who was it tickled me? I am as ticklish as can be. Come on, 'fess up and tell me, cause there's not thing to fear.
 'In fact, I'm glad I am awake. Ill have a chance, right now, to take the time to show you all the little stunts that I can do.
 Gee, I was sleeping mighty sound, cen though I flopped on real hard ground. If had stayed there longer, I'd have ached, and that is true"
 Well" Dotty said, T was the one who tickled you. It was real fun. You made some funny faces as I chucked you meath the chin.
 Then you began to sneeze. Oh, gee, you sneezed as loud as loud could be. In all you were a funny sight. We all just had to grin.

Interesting History
Nash's C.. & L. Tonic

Interesting history connected with
Nash's c. & L Tonic
The Advertiser is now running an ad-
vcrtising campaign for Nash Brothers
Drug company, manufacturers of tho
now famous Nash's c. & L. Tonic. A
bit of the history of this firm will be
found most interesting. Nash's C. & l..
(Chill and Laxative)) Tonic is made by
three brothers who have been in the
drug business in Arkansas for the last
twenty five years. The two older
brothers received their pharmaceutical
education at Vanderbilt University and
the youngest at St. Louis College of
Pharmacy.
After the world war and during the
crash in 1920 these three brothers lost
heavily and it was up to them to do
something or they stood to lose their
drug store. They got their heads to-
gether and having been in the manu-
featuring and jobbing business before
the war and having been trained in
proprietary drugs by their father. him
self an excellent drug man, they decided
that they could improve on all existing
remedies for that most dreaded South
ern disease-malaria, and thereby help
their neighbors in the South.
For many days and often all night
they studied the formulas and recipes
of their father, who for forty years was
the medical backbone of his community.
1t was difficult to get medicine that
was pleasant to take and yet the most
efficient for both children and adults
ever to be introduced. They wanted to
make preparation that would absolutely
cure malaria in all of its forms and also
relieve and eliminate constipation and
biliousness, which would make the per-
feet general tonic for the South since
are caused by these three maladies.
One day after about year of expert
menting the oldest brother perfected
the formula known as Nash's c. & L.
Tonic. Ever as perfect as this seemed
to be none of the brothers were willing
to market it until many friends tried it
out. 1t stood the test in every case and
now is selling at the rate of hundreds
of thousands of bottles a year. Recon-
mendations are coming in from all over
the South. Truly a Southern product,
Nash's is really helping the South.
Now that their product has on it's
own merits gained such widespread
fame and is selling at such an astound-
ing rate Nash Bros. are doing extensive
advertising and has chosen this medium
to carry one of their campaigns. Put
on the market only by word of mouth
and sold on its own value, Nash's G. &
L. Tonic is really forging ahead now
that extensive advertising is being put
behind it.
