WANT TO LOOK YOUNG?

The secret Of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must
watch your liver and bowels-there'S
no need of having a sallow com.
plexion-dark rings under your eyes
-pimples-a bilious look in your
face-dull eyes with no sparkle.
Your doctor will tell you ninety per
cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known ply
sician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable
compound as a substitute for calo-
mel to act on the liver and bowels,
which he gave to his patients for
years.
DIR. Edwards Olive Tablets are
gentle in their action yet always ef.
fective. They help bring about that
natural buoyancy which all should
enjoy by toning up the liver and
clearing the system of impurities.

IMPROVE, SAYS
L.C.C. REPORT
By international News Service


Improved railroad conditions
greeted the United States with
the New Year, the Interstate
Commerce Commission told Con-
gress today in its annual report.
With the progress Of national
industrial recovery, railway earn
ings have increased, railway bonds
sell at better prices, railway earn
ings have increased, the report
declared, and in place Of the
most :rastic curtailment OF main
tenance, attention is again be-.
ing given to replacing worn-out
rails and equipment.
Makes No Recommendations
The commission did not make
its usual recommendations Tor
railroad legislation.
The financial difficulties Of the
railroads are the result Of more
than one cause, the commission
said. In large part they are the
reflection Of the reduction IN
traffic that came with the eco
nomic depression, but also in con-
siderable part they result from
the competition of other trans
port agencies. The report says:
"An important feature OF
railway recovery is q well bal
anced adjustment Of railway
charges, railway wages, and the
general price level. We had
occasion to consider the rel9-
ton of the prices Of COmmOd1-
ties and railway freight rates IN
the general rate level inveStiga-
ton of 1888.
ARE MAKING REDUCTIONS
"The evidence showed that
while the rate level was high
compared with the price level,
It was impossible to require
them to be brought together by
q general rate reduction. New
ertheIesS, by the force Of COM
petition, carriers are voluntarily
making reductions in rates and
fares"
Commenting on question Of re-
ducing passenger fares, the Com
mission said:
ut would seem that with the
constant decline for the past 10
years, both In the number Of
passengers carried and the
gross revenue from the paSsen-
ger business, together with the
constant increase by other COM
petitive forms Of Transports
tiOn, the time is near at hand
when some aggressive action
should be taken by the carriers
to determine whether it is pos
sibIe to regain passenger busi-
ness, or whether they shall be
compelled to give up what at
one time was . lucrative part
Of their business"

nouncement will be made next
Wednesday Of the formation Of a
committee to prepare for the i'm
pending Inauguration Of Pu VI
as emperor of the so-called state
Of Manchukuo.
The enthronement will be on
March l, at Changchun, where Pu
vi now resides as regent.
The special commission will be
headed by the elderly Premier Of
Manchukuo, Cheng Hsiao-HSi. He
was Pu Yi's tutor.
General Chang Ching-H, presi-
dent of the privy council, also will
be member of the arrangements
committee.
ManchuS residing in Peiping
say there is a difference Of opin-
ion in Manchukuo over whether
Pu Yis restoration as Emperor
should be extended to north China
above the Yellow River, or whether
this should be put off until both
inner and outer Mongolia have
been obtained for the new empire.
Pu vi was Emperor Of all China
when a baby, but the revolution
Of 1911 made private citizen out
Of him except for one brief reStora-
ton attempt some years later,
when screaming and scratching,
he was carried into the throne

TREADWAY HITS
LOWERING Of
tariff rs

President Roosevelt faces a
tariff tDGr in Congress. His Con-
0TeSsiondl leaders announce he
1Oiu ask Congress to giDe him
poaOer to negotiate reciprocal
tariff and trade agreements
aDtthoHt requiring subsequent
ratification By the Senate. The
mention of it has provoked
fierce Republican opposition. In
the accompanying article, the
Republican ptetDpoirt Is stated.
By REP. ALLEN T. TREADWAY
Ranking Republican ON House
Ways and Means Committee
1WFatten Expressly For international
News Service)
President Roosevelt wishes to
attain easier access to foreign
markets through reciprocal tariff
concessions.
In other words, we would agree
30 reduce our tariff on q certain
product In return for some other
Country's reducing its tariff on
some other product.
Foreign nations would be al
lowed freer access to our market
and we would be allowed freer
aOess to theirs.
The concessions must be recip-
ToCsL 50 it becomes important to
know what products would be
involved In this trading.
Too Many Surpluses
We have surpluSes almost Of
everything We produce, but. Of
course, It win be impossible to
find o market for all Of these
SurpluSeS abroad without grant
ing foreign countries almost COM
plete freedom in our own mar
kets.
Only certain products can be
singled out for preferential treat
ynent. Some Of our domestic in
duStries must be sacrificed to
compensate foreign countries for
the concessions to be granted to
the products Of our country,
singled out for special treatment
n their markets.
Even if We were able to win
additional trade with foreign ma
tionS, 1t would have to be done
by lowered tariffs on two Of
our basic industries, farming and
manufacturing. Canada, for in
stance, would expect to sell US
more wheat and dairy products,
and the United Kingdom would
expect to sell us more textiles.
Hence the duties on these commo-
dities would have to be lowered.
Let the Administration sug-
gest what industries would be
placed upon the bargain counter
and what great classes Of work
ment would be deprived of live
jihood in this mutual exchange Of
surplus products. Who would be
the first victim? What do the
other countries Of the world pro-
prose to offer us, and in exchange
for what?
What to Sacrifice
Are we going to throw open
our home market for agricul-
tural products in order to sell
the world more automobiles? Are
We going to sacrifice the textile
industry Of New England and the
South in order to sell more apples
to the United Kingdom? Are we
going to close our steel mills and
buy our steel products abroad in
order 20 sell the world more type
writer's?
We must sacrifice some large
industry to compensate some for
Hign country for giving some
other large domestic market
&reer access to its market.
1S it worth the price?

COTTON GOODS

NEW YORK, Nov. 3 G.N.SD.-The
coarse yarn clothes market gave
unimpressive performance this week,
as the volume of trading dwindled ap-
preciably and several leading construc-
tions showed weakening tendencies in
values. Observers were pointing out
that the market appeared near
status so acute that by past experience
it could be considered approaching n
definite turning point. Depressed sent-
ments were not helped by the fur
ther sharp decline in raw cotton.
Nevertheless, a number of sellers con-
tinued to pursue a policy Of calm
waiting. neither pressing for business
nor taking any order that presented
itself Still others were accepting
nearly all business that developed, Of
which the aggregate was rather limi-
ted. There appeared to be more trad
ing in the narrow sheeting than in the
print colth division.

slightly higher, but Chrysler was
inclined to be moderately sluggish
under the influence of the COM
paratively unfavorable earnings
report issued after the close yes
terday.
Railroad shares provided the
one irregular spot in the list. Chi
cago and Northwestern appeared
to be under pressure around last
nights close, and Lackawanna
slipped off fractionally, other car
rier issues failed to make any
particular Roadway despite the
strength in the rest of the list.
Utilities were strong under the
leadership of Consolidated Gas
which influenced the other power
and light shares to move higher.
Schenley was the strong spot
in the liquor shares with a gain
of about point. Oils were in
demand under the leadership of
Standard Oil of New Jersey.
