NEW COLD TREATMENT
BRINGS QUICK RELIEF
Druggists Instructed to Re
fund Money In Every In
stance Where Satisfactory
Results Are Not Obtained
After First Few Doses.
RESULTS FROM USE
ALMOST IMMEDIATE
Thousands Using It With
^ Gratifying Results — Great
f Superiority Over Ordinary
) Remedies Is Gearly Demon
strated.
Dr. Smathers' Kurokol. the new
scientific cold remedy, which has
been accomplishing such remarkable
results, probably provides the safest,
surest and quickest, as well as the
most practical treatment for colds
yet discovered.
A dose taken every two hours untn
three doses are taken usually breaks
up the severest ccld and ends all
dcc3-6
Grippe misery. The very first dose
unstops the head, relieves difficult
breathing and penetrates deep down
into the air passages. It also checks
running of the nose, relieves those
dull headaches, sneezing, and the fev
erishness which so often accompanies
a cold. Don't stay stuffed up. Clear
your congested head. No other rem
edy brings such prompt relief.
Dr. Smathers’ Kurokol contains no
quinine or nauseating harmful drugs.
It has a soothing effect on inflamed
mucous membranes of the nose,
throat and bronchial tubes, and a
gratifying feeling of relief takes the
place of distress and discomfort. Dr.
Smathers' Kurokol relieves a cold by
removing the cause. It is a combi
nation treatment, and acts as an an
tipyretic, expectorant, laxative and
antiseptic.
The next time you have a cold go
to your nearest druggist and ask for
a bottle of Dr. Smathers’ Kurokol.
Have the clerk open it on the spot,
take a teaspoonful, repeat the dose
in an hour and again in two hours. If
you are not surprised and delighted
with the result, go back to your drug
gist and he will refund your money
without question.
All drug stores are now supplied
with this wonderful new prescrip
tion.—Aav.

For prohibition enforcement the
budget bureau estimates $10,000,000,
an increase of $2,500,000 over this
year.
Accompanying the budget as sent
to Congress is a detailed report from
Director General Daves as to the
operation of the budget bureau since
its establishment live months ago
and some pointed comments as to
means of continuing its efficient op
eration. Discussing the reception of
t De budget by Congress, General
Dawes says:
“It is to be expected that since the
preliminary estimates have been
made under pressure by the executive
for proper retrenchment, where con
sistent with efficiency, it will not be
necessary, as heretofore, for Con
gress to make radical cuts upon the
estimates of the budget with any un
certainty as to what will be the re
sult as it effects efficiency. The
President of the United States, when
he sends the budget to Congress Is
presumed to send it with all the re
ductions in expenditures which can
be effected without due impairment
of governmental business processes.
In the preparation of the budget he
lias had at work an authorized
agency in the bureau not only in as
certaining the reasonableness of de
sired appropriations, but in contin
ually imposing pressure upon the de
partments for a reduction in the es
timates wherever proper and pos
sible.’*
General Dawes says he feels that
the estimate for expenditures- for
1923. upon which the budget is based
"will not he increased except throug.i
appropriations initiated by Congress
or by the executive as a result of
emergency or unforeseen conditions
arising after the preparation of the
budget.”
Reiterating his recommendation
that Congress immediately repeal all
outstanding continuous appropria
tions nnd "revolving funds,” General
Dawes says the method of appropri
ating money heretofore followed “has
resulted in a condition of things un
der which it is almost impossible for
either the executive. Congress, or the
Secretary of the Treasury to have
before them a true picture of the
fiscal condition of the government at
any particular time.”
“The whole habit of making con
tinuous appropriations to which the
government has been committed In
the past.” he adds, "is only an en
couragement to a lack of scrutiny of
public work by the head of the de
partment, under. which it is carried
on, and an encouragement to shift
lessness and carelessness on the part
of the subordinates more directly
concerned in It. This system of pre
paring the budget will confine the
attention of the. Executive, of Con
gress, and of the public to the one
great important question, to wit, the
relation of the money actually to be
spent by the Government to the
money actually to be received by the
Government in any given year, all
its outstanding obligations and in- .
definite commitments, projects, and ,
enterprises considered. This will j
enable Congress, with more intelli- j
gence, to determine at any time both
the necessity for retrenchment and
the ability of the Government to en
gage in additional projects to be in- j
itiated by Congress outside of the
budgetary provisions.”
Likening the federal government
to a business corporation. General ]
Dawes points to these “faults” which j
he says existed!
The President of the corporation
(the President of the United States)
gave practically no attention to its
ordinary routine business.
The administrative vice presidents
(members of the cabinet) were al
lowed to run their several depart
ments as if each separate department j
was an independent authority In all
matters of routine business.
Because of a lack of any outlined
business plan, no system existed for
making purchases or in selling ma
terial along business lines under a
unified policy.
No balance sheet of the corpora
tion as a whole was ever prepared.
Th^ treasurer kept no accurate ac
count of the contingent obligations of
the various federal departments, thus
resulting in money being drawn from
him continuously in excess of the es
timated annual running expenses.
The corporation, in effect, seldom
reconsidered an unwise project en
tered into by any department.
The administrative heads of the
departments were selected as a |Mle
with little reference to their business
qualifications and were compelled to
rely largely upon the advice of sub
ordinates “wedded to the theory of
the right of independent operation
of the department.”
Outlining the work of the various
coordinating agencies established by
Presidential order “to rectify faults
in the routine business of the gov
ernment," General Dawes says:
“They involve no transfer of au
thority the location of which has
been fixed otherwise by statute.
“They involve the delegation of no
questions of policy save that of econ
omy and efficiency.
I “They are simply agents by which
! unified methods of ordinary business
can be imposed by the Chief Execu
tive.
“They are created simply to give
tl^e President of the United Slates,
the same agencies of contact and
transmission of authority as obtain
in any private organization.
"They involve no material addition
to the expense of governmental ad
ministration.
“They are nonpartisan, being com
posed of men already in the Govern
ment service.
“They ere in effect simply a re
grouping under an executive leader
ship of certain of the present em
ployees of Government of such ex
perience, contact, and relation in its
routine business 'as enables them to
make possible the application of com
mon-sense business methods,
j “It cannot be too often reiterated
; that this most important reformation
; in the governmental business system
is dependent upon the President of the
i United States himself, and upon his
continued assumption of his responsi
bility as.its business head. The min
ute he relaxes his attitude of atten;
tion to his duty there will be felt the
natural pull of the departments and
establishments toward the old system
of complete independence and decen
tralization.’’
“General Dawes concludes his re
port. with this statement:
“In making this report the Director
of the Budget will state that, his con
nection with the bureau is limited as
to time, in accordance with an under
standing which he had with the
President at the time of bis appoint
ment. His purpose in making this
announcement at this time is to em
phasize the fact that his recommend
ations are made in an impersonal
way, with fundamental business prin
ciples and their proper preservation in
their application to governmental
business administration alone in
mind.” I
While the railroad administration |
and trie transportation act are ex
1 pected to cost the government .foHT,

penditurcs for these purposes for

Exports explained that it was ndt

mate of what would be needed for ]

get his address to the printer to
night.
A large majority of senators and
House members answered the open
ing roll call today after their 10-day
recess since the extra session. The
opening-gavels sounded the begin
ning of the first regular session of
the C7th Congress which has before
it many months of work. Leaders
expressed the hope tonight of com
pleting work by mid-summer but
faced the possibility of the session
continuing until fall. With the bi
ennial congressional elections next
November, much politics was re
garded as assured for this session.
One of the features of today's
opening was the receipt rrom Presi
dent Harding of the first federal ap
propriation estimates prepared un
der the new budget law. The bud- !
get proposed for the 1923 fiscal year
was $3,505,000,000 a decrease of
nearly $500,000,000 for the 1922 out
lay and of more than two billions
from current expenditures.
Awaiting the President’s recom
mendations tomorrow, no business
was transacted today by either Sen
ate or;House. Both appointed com
mittees to advise the President and
each other of the convening of the
new session. The Senate was in ses- ,
sion only about 20 minutes, but the
House devoted three hours to debate
on the St. Lawrence waterway pro
ject. The point was raised that the
discussion, before receipt of the
Presidents’ message, was unprece- 1
dented if not discourteous, but the
Republican leadership went ahead
with the plan for open debate with
out presenting copy of any bills.
Few bills were introduced today in
the House and none in the Senate.

The first important measure of the
new session is to be called up tomor
row in the Senate. This is the ad
ministration bill for funding the $10.

passed the House during the extra
session but failed to get through the
Senate. The House bill, providing
for a debt commission is to be sub
stituted tomorrow by the Senate fin
ance committee for a measure origi

to give the secretary of the treasury
blanket authority in funding the
loans. A In-partisan fight against
the bill already is brewing.

bill will be resumed next Wednesday.

FOUR-POWER
PACT PROPOSED
TO INCLUDE U.S.
America Not Prepared
to Enter at Present
But Might Later
Such An Entente To Include
Great Britain, .France and
Japan Would Be Contingent
on Approval of American
People—Would Take Place of
Anglo-Jap Alliance
f
■Washington, Dec. 5.—(By A. P.)—
The question of a three or four power
agreemnt to replace the Anglo-Ja
panese alliance is demanding increas
ed attention among the (Arms dele
gates while they wait for Japan to
define her position on the naval ratio.
The latest suggestion, contemplat
ing an entente to include the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and
France, has developed to the point
where a tentative treaty draft is un
der consideration in some quarters
although it has not been formally
presented to‘ the conference.
There are indications that the Jap
anese delegates, and perhaps the
British as well, are consulting their
home governments on such a propo
sitio nat the same time that they are
asking for further instructions in re
gard to the naval ratio.
On the part of the American gov- [
ernment, there apparently is no dis- j
position to entertain an entente pro- |
posal, at least at the present stage of
the negotiations. Later such a sug- j
gestion may receive consideration
provided it includes no requirements
counter to American public opinion,
i Upon high authority, it was said
| today that the naval problem as it
was referred to Tokio after the last
; meeting of the “big three” involve':
j r.o proposal for a political asToenv rt
| of any character, but is concerned
solely with the naval and military
aspects of the situation. The A liter- .
ican delegation adi13-.es to its expec
tation that the naval issife will be!
settled without conditioning the deci
i ricn on any sort of a political rc-ar
11 angeme nt.
Admiral Baron Koto, of the Jap
anese delegation, said tonight, how
ever, that the naval question involv
ed issues which are of. far reaching
effect upo nthe national and interna- j
tional life of .Japan and on the poli- ,
cies of great powers for decades to
come and perhaps permanently.!
These issues, he said, should be;
brought to the full knowledge and |
consideration of his government be-,
fore definite action is taken.
The delay in presenting. Japan's
definite position on ratio, declared
the apanese statesman, is due wholly
to the difficulties of cable communi
cation and the desire of the Japanese
government to act circumspectly in
so important a decision. It has been
indicated that it may be late in the
week before the Japanese are ready j
to return a reply to the latest naval J
proposition.
Meantime the conference outwardly 1
is concerning itself with questions of,
collateral significance. The commit- '
tee on draft, headed by Rlihu Root,
met today and debated the problem
of foreign telegraph nml radio facili-j
tics in China, virtually deciding to j
bring in a resolution providing that as j

SERGEANT I*OWELIj of

became “Fit to Fight” for his .
country, and won his war
against Rheumatism.
*-SB-BB==*
Popular Sergeant Powell Is today a
well man, and feels so happy and
thankful that ho wants every one
suffering with rheumatism to hear
his story so that they in turn will
follow his example and be restored to
health.
Could Not Work for Two Year9
“I had rheumatism as bad as any
one could and had not worked for
two years. Hay, 1917, was the black
est month of my life. Botii my legs
and arms swelled to double their size
and I was taken to the Hospital. I
got no better; doctors and medicines
had no effect.
Enlisted at Camp Devens
“No ono knows how I suffered, un
til I read about 'Neutrone Prescrip
tion 99’ and got a bottle. Right away
I improved; the swellings all left my
arms and legs. What a relief after
all the pain and misery I had gono
through. Fully recovered in August.
I enlisted, and served to the eml of
the war, with never a return of Rheu
matism.
No One Need Give Up Hope
“ ‘Neutrone Prescription 99’ cured
mo where doctors and hospitals failed
and I do not want any one to give
up hope until they have tried this
wonderful preparation. I am a living
proof of what it will do for others”.
There Is no excuse «why anyone
should suffer with Rheumatism. Go
to your Druggist today, and get a
bottle of “Neutrone Prescrintion 99”.
Rid your system of rheumatic poisons
forever.
“Neutrone Prescription “99” now

form, whichever is preferred.

I many of these facilities as exist with-,
lout treaty sanction shall have only a
I curtailed use hereafter. The Shan
tung conversations, proceeding between
j the Japanese and Chinese under the
eye of American anil British observ
ers. were advanced another step hut
developed no important decisions.
The committee of the whole on the
Far East is to meet again on Wednes
day, bringing the full membership of
the conference together again after a (
iccess of four days. An open session •
of the conference itself may be held ;
late in the week, but no plans for it
have been made.
The proposal for a four power en
tente. as now advanced, is considered
an outgrowth of the suggestion of,
David Lloyd-George, made several
weeks ago in parliament, that, the
Washington conference might well
consider merging the Anglo-Japanese i
alliance into an arrangement to which
the United States would bo a party.
The Japanese have shown an inclina
tion to take up that proposal, and it |
has been mentioned more than oner
to the American delegates during their
informal conversations with their for
eign associates.
These hints have never brought (he I
subject to the point of a formal ex
change of views, however, nor revealed
even to the heads of the foreign del
egations just how far the United
States might be willing to go in that
direction. Neither will the American
representatives discuss the question
publicly, hut they are known to re

In every consideration of a possible
treaty or international understanding
to replace the alliance, the American
delegates have kept in mind the pos
sible temper of the Senate, should it
be asked to ratify such an agreement.
With two senators sitting as members ,
of the delegation, it is assumed that if
a formal treaty were negotiated. Sen

COURT RULING
(Continued from Pegs One)
kets. There was considerable violence
by the picketers until tho courts in
tervened and restricted their activi
ties. The council thereupon contest
ed the authority of the courts to in
terfere with its picketing plan. I
“In going to and from work, men
have a right to as free a passage
without obstruction as the streets af- ,
ford,” the supreme courts held t#day, ,
“consistent with the rights of others
to enjoy the same privileges."
While attempts to influence anoth- j
or’s action cannot be regarded as ag- |
gressions on a violation of the other’s ,
rights, the court cotinued, "impor- j
tunitv and dogging become unjustifi- !
able annoyance and obstruction which ,
is likely soon to. savor of intimida- j
tion.”
In the present ease, “all arguments j
advanced and all persuasion used .
were intimidation.” it was derlared, I
adding that pickets should “not bp,
abusive, libelous or threatening.” nor I
“approach individuals together.” This
rule, the court explained, might “be J
varied in other cases.” The courts |
must, however, “prevent the inevit- I
able intimidation of the presence of
groups of pickets, but to alow mis- 1
sionarics.”
The action of the conned in calling
the strike under consideration was
declared “not malicious."
“The strike became a lawful Instru
ment in a lawful economic struggle
or competition between employer and
employes,” the chief justice stated,
“as to tile share or division between
them of the joint product of labor
and capital. ••*•** The principle
of the unlawfulness of^naliciously en
ticing laborers,,still remains, and ac
tion may be maintained therefore in
proper eases, but to make It applica
ble to local labor unions, In such a
case as this, seems to us to be un
reasonable.”
Chief Justice Taft, in declaring the
opinion of the court, said:
‘ If in their attempts at persuasion
or communicattih those of the labor
side adopt methods which, however
lawful in their announced purpose, in
evitably lead to intimidation and ob
struction, then it. is the court's duty
* * * to limit what the propagan
dists do as to time, manner and place
so as to prevent infractions of the
law and violations of the rights of the
employes and the employer for wh< m
they wish to work.

were Intimidation—they could not be
otherwise. It is idle to talk of peace,
ful communications in such a place’
anrl under such conditions.
"The whole campaign became effec
tive because of its intimidation cfcir- •
aether, in spite of the admonition given
by the leaders of their followers as to
lawful methods to be pursued however ,
sincere.
•'Our conclusion is that picketing
thus instituted is unlawful and can
not be peaceable, and may be properly !
adjoined by the specific term of 'pick
eting.' because its meaning is clearly
understood in the sphere of the con
troversy by those who are parties
to it.
Rut while tins is so, we must hav-;
every ycgard for the congressional in
'tention manifested in the act and to
| the principle of existing law which il
declared, that ex-ployes and othe:o
probably acting with them shall have
an opportunity, so far as is consistent
with peace and law. to obsene who
are still working for the employer, to
jcommunicate with them and to per
suade them to join the ranks of his
opponents in a lawful economic strug
gle. Regarding as primarj the rights
of the employes to work for whom
they will, and to go freely to and from
their place of labor, and keeping tn
mind the right of the employer inci
dent to bis property and business to
free access of such employes, what can
be done to reconcile the conflicting
interests?
"liach case must turn on Its own
circumstances. It is a case for tli■
flexible remedial powers of a court of
equity which may try one mode of re
straint and if It fails or proves to j»
too <1 met I co, may change it. We think
that tho strikers and their sympathiz
ers should be limited to one represent
ative fqr each point of ingrr'ss and
egress in the plant or place of business
and that all others be enjoined from
congregating or Inhering at ths plant
or in the neighboring streets by which
access is had to the plant, that such
representatives should have the right
cf observation, communicatb n and
persuasion, but with special admoni
tion that their communications, argu
ments and appeals shall not he abus
ive, libelous or threatening, and that
they shall net approach individuals to
gether, but singly. This is not laid
down as a rigid rule, but one which
should apply to this case under tin
circumstances disclosed by the evi
dence and which may be varied in oth
er cases. It becomes a question for
the judgment of the chancellor who
has heard the witnesses. The purposes
should be to prevent the inevitable in
timidation of the presence of groups
of pickets, but to allow missionaries."
The Bishop of St. Albans complains
that h'.s official income of £2500 a
year is “entirely inadequate” to meet
tho necessary expenses of his offices
and flu' upkeep of his "official resi
dence." So the diorese over which
lie presides has to eke out his Inadc
[ quato official incomes by giving him ^n
I additional £700 a year "to meet sec
! rctariol and office expehses and the
| cost of running a motor car.” The
candid bishop declares the situation
to be “scandalous.”
