One Of the worst things you can
do is 'kid around with q cold.
The so-called common cold''
causes more serious sickness and
more enforced absence from work
than anything else.
It's q mistake to treat a cold
lightly. A cold calls for a cold
treatment and not "cure.aY'. A
cold calls for internal treatment,
for a cold is an internal infestion.
One of the best things you can
take for a cold is Groves Laxa-
tive Bromo Quinine. Your own
doctor will tell you that.
First Of all, Bromo Quinine is a
cold tablet, made expressly for
the treatment Of colds.
Secondly it is internal medica-
ton and Of fourfold effect.
Here's what it does:
First, it opens the bowels, an
advisable step in treating a cold.
Second, it checks the infection in
the system.

We discover that many Of our Euro

Summary Of Situation.
Now let me sum up this problem
OF national defense as see 1t.
We are a peace-loying people. We
have never in more than a century
waged any war Of .conquest-or sought
a quarrel with any other nation or
people. In the conduct Of our In
ternatioral relations we have always
followed TIE precept with charity

We have 50 ght to avoid those al
liances, and ell angiements with for
eign nations which might lead to war.
We have taken the lead in encourag-
ing efforts for the settlement OF in
ternational disputes, by courts OF
arbitration and the settlement Of In
ternational quarrels by conciliation.
We are now struggling with the very
important question Of neutrality In

end Of the 1Sesent year.
Dispatche IN London reveal that
Just before the close Of 1885, when
$l30000 900 was spent to launch re-
Mobilization Of the Royal Air Force. the
British air ministry had agreed on a
$500, 100000 expenditure during the
next three years. Within two years, 1t
was indicated, there will be II new
squadrons requiring $500 new pilots.
The plan was stated to form one new
squadron q week until March, 1887.
The recent determined and success
full effort of Germany to rearm and
place herself on a military footing,
which has been taken by her neigh
bors as an evidence Of offensive inten-
ton, is well known. Reports from
that country indicate that the active
professional army has already passed
the half-rnillion mark and that the
air force. which reports placed at
1000 combat planes on october last,
was to be increased Dy $500 additional
planes in the following IL months and
a further accretion of 1000 planes to
complete the air program.
These efforts are over and above
what people normally call the arma-
ment race. 1t has but one implication,
which is that the dominant thought in
these countries is that war is in pros
pect and they must be prepared for 1t,

to be taken into account, and as mat
ters now stand. we still have some dis
tance to go before we can truly say
our own naval strength is second to
none.
Blind to World Changes.
My fellow citizens, 1t is a fact, not
altogether discreditable, that we have
been so cngrossed in our own domes-
tic problems during the depression
that we have scant appreciation Of
what is happening in the rest Of the
world with respect to ornaments. The
startling fact that today confronts an
observer Of the worlds attitude toward
military preparedness is the tremen-
dous pressure being exerted every
where to expand combat air forces. In
Russia the recent appropriation Of
1900, 900 900 rubles, which at their
valuation would be $3.50, 600, 900, is to
be largely devoted to increasing the
army from 100000 to 100000 and
to bringing their air and nlechan-
ized forces far above even the present
figures, which are conservatively es-
timated at 4,50O combat airplanes and
a number Of tanks far above that of
any other nation In France a recent
allotment of $415.0O0000 was set
aside as a special armament fund,
Of which $150,000.000 is to be devoted

Import Held Shocking.
All OF this is not merely significant,
but is shocking in its revelation Of the
distance that our large and powerful
neighbors IL the international field
have Travelled toward what they must
sincerely believe is large-scale combat.
With forces such as these forming all
about us, 1t seems to me, 1t Is the
sheerest disregard Of reasonable
thought and sound craftsmanship 10
believe that relatively unarmed and
defenseless Nation, comprising the
greatest wealth in money, in territory
and raw materials, can afford to be
unprepared and neglect its own ma
tional defense.
Adequate national defenses, In the
present acceptance Of that term and
under existing situations in the world
which are beyond our control, is cost
ing our Government a huge sum.
There Is no Disgusting the greatly in
creased expenditures which are in
separable from the modernization Of
our land forces. the expansion Of our
air forces ard the strengthening Of our
naval forces.
Stated in terms Of dollars, the ap-
propriations for the Army and Navy
loom very large, indeed, but the fact
remains that our annual expendi-
lures for national defense, even with
Evening star., 1936-01-28

we're provided for. In 1884, there was
laid down q total Of 66, $50 tons. There
remains to be built q total Of 81 ves-
sells comprising SO destroyers and Is
submarines. But even at the present
increased rate in naval building, it
will not be until 1912, six years from
now and six years after the expiration
of and consequent abandonment of
the existing naval disarmament
treaties that the United States will
have Navy Of treaty strength. In
addition to the treaty strength, there
Is still a general class Of ships re-
quired to round out the fleet and to
make 1t a balanced whole, namely,
tankers, repair ships, submarine tend

ports, which our own merchant ma

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August l.-Suc-
cessful Ohio politicians have always
had one thing in common. They al
ways have realized the value of the
common touch. Even the suave and
polished Harding was lust folks" to
his neighbors. Vic Donahey, when
he used to campaign for the governor
ship, invariably went into the rural
districts with some chewing tobacco,
few three-for stogies and gravy on
his vest, so as not to appear too up
pity, and in all his speeches he made
grammatical error or two.
A large part of the wide appeal Of
Gov. Landon to Ohio Republicans lies
in his natural, unaffected and IA
miliar manner.
This year the spread of this "just
folks" idea has been phenomenal, due,
no doubt, to hunch on the part of
the campaigners and their managers
that the election will be close and
that subsequently the man who can
make the most human appeal will
have the edge.

Interest was added to the political
campaign in Arkansas with the an
nouncement Of two new candidates.
Senator Joe T. Robinson, seeking re-
election, has another opponent in Rev.
c. c. Williams of Little Rock, Presby-
terrain preacher, who was reported to
have been victim of a flogging at
Earle. Crittenden County, June IS, as
an outgrowth of a cotton croppers'
strike. He was nominated at the state
convention of the Socialist party in
Little Rock.
The Republicans added another
candidate to the State ticket when the
third district convention nominated
DR.. j. S. Thompson to oppose Repre-
sentative Claude A Fuller, Eureka
Springs. Democrat, for Congress. The
latter is without opposition on the
Democratic ticket.
Another Socialist entry is J. Russell
Butler OF Pangburn, president of the
Southern Tenant Farmers Union, who
was selected to run for Representative
IN the State General Assembly from
Pope County, position for which he
was defeated two years ago.
Speaking at the dedication of the
new Sl,710,000 waterworks system at
Fort Smith last week, Senator Robin
son predicted retrenchment program

He said that many thousands now en-

He was delegate to the Cleveland

leaders applied pressure and forced

The big reason for objection to Pat
