What is the best material for cleaning

What is the best material for cleaning
coat cOllors?
A detergent solution is very desirable
for the cleaning of dark materials, coat
collars, and hat bands. This may be
used on any garment that water alone
will not injure. Try the solution on a
piece of material before using it, how
ever, otherwise the ether may affect
the colors. Apply with sponge or
piece of cloth the same color as the
material. Follow with clean cloth,
moistened with water, to remove traces
of soap. The following is detergent
formula:
One ounce pure soap, dissolved in
one pint of hot soft water; cool,
add one quart of cold water, one
ounce of alcohol, one-half ounce
ether and two ounces ammonia.

I have horse that has pole evil or
fistula. Is there any way to cure this?
Is a horse in poor flesh mere suscep-
tible to contracting pole evil than one
in good flesh?
, Usually pole evil cannot be remedied
except by operation. Occasionally one
heals by itself, but as a rule the dis
ease is located so deep in the tissues
that an operation is necessary. Even
then the results are not always salts
factory The condition of the animal
does not make it susceptible to pole
evil any more than to another disease.
Often the cause of pole evil is the
same germ that induces Bangs disease
in cattle and undulent fever in man.

Don't Be Fooled By
Misleading Symptoms
USE HERBTEX FOR LAXATIVE AID

Constipation is a factor in devel-
oping symptoms of such varied and
misleading character that they are
often mistaken for signs OF more
serious and advanced diseases and
cause their unfortunate victims un.
told fear and mental anguish as well
as actual physical suffering. For ex-
ample: constipation can help bring
on palpitation and gas pressure
around the heart that Is mistaken
for heart trouble, rush Of blood to
the head which Is mistaken for tn-
proper blood pressure, sttn Joints
and limb pains that are mistaken
for rheumatism; after eating sweets
and a feeling of fermentation In the
stomach that are mistaken for pos
sibility of an approaching gladstone
attack.
HERBTEX is often praised to the
skies by happy users who give 1t
credit for relief OF ailments and con-
ditions which we feel sure were the
type of misleading symptoms brought
on by constipation mainly and about
which we have told. Some scientists
of excellent authority claim that all
disease is graduating series OF
events One disease develops into
another. Thus, all disease must have
a starting place, an origin. Consti-

VIII Hold Hearing
On Minnesota Freight.

Commissioner Hjalmer Peterson of
the Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, states that notice has been
received from southwestern railways
that public hearings were held in
ST. Louis on Monday and Tuesday
on the petition of Minnesota potato
producers asking for reduced freight
rates on potatoes, onions, rutabagas
and turnips from Minnesota to the
southern states.
Rates on shipments of those COM
modities from Idaho, Nebraska and
Colorado to southwestern destinations
were substantially reduced on October
this year, but no reductions were
granted on rates from Minnesota pro-
ducing sections.
When Minnesota did not get in on
the reduced rates, the commission de-
cided to file a formal complaint with
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
correct the discriminatory situation.
Lower rates are necessary for this state
the commission contends in order to
compete with the western producers.

Whether It's Grip or
Flu, Stay in Bed.

When is it grip" and when is it
"flu" and what do you do to prevent
either of them?
These questions bother doctors as
much as they do their patients, &C
cording to today's bulletin-third in a
series on respiratory diseases-issued by
the Minnesota State Medical associ-
atoms committee on public health edu-
cation.
Influenza research has been carried
on continually in many parts of the
world since the great World War cpl
demic of 1917 and 1918 according to
this bulletin, and results of all this
study only partially answer the above
questions.
The best opinion indicates that both
grip and flu are a virus disease. That
is, that the infective agent is virus
which is present in nose and throat
secretions and carried in these Sc
cretions from person to person. They
are different from the common cold in
that constitutional symptoms are more
pronounced, through STIFFNESS and a
nasal discharge frequently accompany
them. Headache, backache, fever and
sometimes chills and prostration are
common symptoms
The term grip" is used to designate
the illness in mild and occasional
form, while influenza or "flu" is the
term when the illness is acute and
comes in epidemics
There is some hope that a serum
for treatment and possibly a vaccine
may sometime be developed for flu,
the doctors say "For the present
however, the only specific treatment tc
be relied on is to go to bed and stay
there until the fever is gone and the
patient has completely recovered. Other
measures are helpful but are of small
value unless the patient is quiet"
The most serious aspect of either
grip of flu, according to the bulletin
is not the disease itself but the pneu
monia that may follow it. Pneumoni;
may develop in spite Of all precaution
but it is most frequent among tn
people who insist upon remaining Vi
and about while they are Ill.

FLOOD CONTROL
 FIGHT WEARS END
Senator David l. Walsh Has Succeeded in Quiet-
 ing Controversy

Washington, Feb. 3-(UP)-The controversy over the federal gov- ernment's right to acquirel and for flood control without the consent of the states appeared today to be near a settlement.
 Senator David I. Walsh, D., Mass, unofficial mediator in the battle be- tween the administration and Ver- mont over the question of states rights" predicted complete and satisfactory settlement" and said concessions by both sides appeared likely.
 He said the federal government, under the flood control act of 1888, could take land with or without state consent, but that "the admin istration, very properly, has been unwilling to go ahead" without state approval.
 Governor Aiken Satisfied
 In Montpelier, Governor George D. Aiken, who contested the federal governments authority to acquire land for flood control work in Ver- mont, said that as far as he was concerned, the work could start immediately.
 Aiken said he understood "the federal government has conceded Its lack of authority to take nat ural resources without consent of the state," and "all that is left to do now Is to determine the form of consent, and I see no serious diffi- culty in this respect"
 In 8 formal statement, Walsh said, the "crux of the matter is the question of the consent by the states, and the form which that consent shall take"
 "The administration, very prop erly, has been unwilling to go ahead in Vermont or anywhere else with out the consent of the state," he said, land insists that the federal government. shall have the consent which the constitution contem- plates, and the same jurisdiction which 1t exercises over other fed- eral property"
 Not 8 New Policy
 He said the governments request for exclusive title to the lands Ifs not & new policy" and said he understood the war department was willing to consider the adop- ton of either of two methods au- thorized by the flood control act, namely:
 q. The secretary of war .. can acquire title by voluntary purchase and sale or by expropria- ton through direct negotiations and agreement with property own- CTS, or
 "2 Where 1t is manifestly to the advantage of the government to do so, arrangements may be made through state or local governments duly authorized hereunder to &C., quire title"
 Aikens, who has been mentioned as a potential candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1940, raised the issue when he charged that states rights were being violated in the governments attempt to acquire land for flood control dam on the Connecticut river. After several days of con- troversy between Aiken and the war department, President Roose- velt announced at a press confer ence that Vermont would not be forced to have the dam construct ed, that other states could use the money.

&eOWAd1Au OIkcIcQ COIIlIIlelC UO LtlS effect that the Welfare Depart ment expenditures must be watched"
 Doesn't Mean Anything!
 Mayor Frank Hayes, remarking that when the WPA cut of 66 2-3 per cent comes to pass the relief load will be far greater, commented that watching" won't accomplish anything"
 T know it's serious problem isn't it, MT. Mayor?" the controller concurred.
 "I'll say it is," was the rejoinder.
 The controller, in support of his contention that the Welfare Depart ment expenditures must be watched" offered the estimation that $l0,000 of the $75,OO0 food appropriation for this year has been used up.
 It was pointed out that originally a relief contingency fund of $175 ,000 was provided in this years budget, of which about $40,000 has been expended, and from which ener- gency expenses of the Welfare De- partment might be paid.
 Tn connection with request of a transfer of $250 from the contin- gency fund to provide for continu- ance of Q WPA cleaning project, work for approximately 34 persons for the next six months, the board moved that Miss Grace L. White, welfare superintendent, be asked to attend the meeting next Thurs day afternoon to explain the re- quirements.
 The Park Department, through the secretary, Thomas F. Moore, reported a deficit of $2,020 for Washington Park, a balance of $1,- 622 for Hamilton Park pavilion.

 City Treasurer Edward L. Futile reported 1,20l ,485 in city banks as of January 31, as the city's balance, without reporting on possible bal ance in Boston banks. The city treasurer commented that he had been unable to obtain information concerning out-of-city deposits from the controllers office and Rowland offered to supply this information later.
 Tax Attorney George R. Guilfoile reported collections of $3,765 and numerous actions to recover taxes, court matters and the like. Trans fers of $230 in the Police Depart ment were approved.

|FIREMEN CALLED. TO 'MULLIGAN'S'.
Oil Burner Responsible for
 Second Run Within Two Weeks

Fire struck for the second time within two weeks at Mulligans hotel and restaurant on Phoenix avenue today. The blaze, however, was not serious in comparison with the dam- aging fire in the building Jan. 19.
 The blaze, discovered shortly be- fore a. m. today, was caused by an overfowing oil burner. The fire was first noted by Patrolman James Stack, who rang in the alarm. Fire men required only IS minutes to quell the blaze, which was confined to the cellar.
 A chicken coop and the 24 chick ems in 1t were destroyed by fire shortly after 10 o'clock last night on Ardmore avenue. The coop was on property of Constante Tedron- celli. The fire was caused by an overheated stove.
