FDR RESULTS TRY WANT ADS WINTER WEATHER AND HEAVY FOODS Comparatively few persons exercise as much outdoors in winter as in summer, and at the same time almost everybody eats more heartily in cold weather. The extra work put upon digestive organs leads to indigestion, biliousness, headache, bad breath, coated tongue, bloating, gas, constipation. Foley Cathartic Tablets thoroughly cleanse the bowels, sweeten the stomach and benefit the liver. They cause no griping or nausea and are liked by over-stout persons who welcome the light, free feeling they bring.

THE ICE HARVEST Will Begin Here Within the Week if the I’resent Cold Snap Don’t Break BLIZZARD ON WAY According to Information From Chicago—Conter Plans to Gather Ice The annual toe harvest will be on within a few days if the present cold snap holds us now seems assured. Weather forecasts today were that instead of abating, the zero temperature is to drop us an old fashioned ! northwester is said to be on the way and is due in Chicago today. The ice this morning measured four and a half inches on the river and H. L. Conter began planning for the harvest. He has arranged with Fred Linn to take charge of ihe big job of filling his ice houses just east of the ice cream factory and no time will be lost if the cold spell continues a day or two. i Last winter, it will be remembered there was practically no ice and as a result, the famine luring July and August became serious several times. Arrangements to harvest the ice from Steele's pond are being made and it is thought now that a sufficient amount can he stored to guard against a repitition of the last hot weather ice famine.

MANY PAPERS TO SUSPEND Washington. Dec. id— Between 2,500 and 3,000 small newspapers face suspension, if not extinction, unless the newsprint situation is soon remedied, Representative Anthony, renibltcan, Kansas, told the house post>fli< e committee today in urging favorable action on his bill to limit ,) 24 pages daily newspapers and periodicals using second class mail privileges. The volume of advertising should lie drastically reduced during the present shortage, he said. 1 Replying to Chairman Steenerson. Representative Anthony said he had heard that some advertisers had greatly increased their expenditures for advertising to avoid payment of excess profit tax, but he attributed the bulk of the increased advertising to the post-war resumption of normal ; consumption activities. Mr. Anthony read a letter from former Representative Charles F. Scott, publisher of the lola, Kan., Daily Register, who declared that ■ while a few great newspapers might find it a hardship to comply with the Anthony bill, more than 2.500 small i papers face extinction unless some suet legislation were passed. ’( WANT AD ALWAYS HELPS THE MOST PROSPEROUS OF MEN. \M r ;Stop Ht ,‘ his! l At first sign# of a cold or grip take JANES COLD TABLETS I b———hmiiii —i hi 1
