Carefully Prepared Interviews Framed to Prevent 'Kickback/ Is Plan From Michigan Farm — 'Would Tidy Things Up,’ By JOHN CARSON Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, June 7.—Henry Ford is going to put on a “passive resistance” campaign for the presidency. The plans now call for Henry to seek the seclusion of his farm in Michigan, to refrain from being interviewed except, by a few very carefully chosen “interviewers” and to forget the definite statements which might permit a kick-back.

The idea is to carry President Harding’s front porch campaign to the limit, to at no time suggest or imply Ford wants the job but always to picture him as willing to be drafted in the cause. Already the campaign is under way. Ford is being interviewed now week after week and month after month and the interviews are getting into magazines with good reputations for “conservatism.” Search as you will there is nothing to be found in the interviews which will give Ford’s enemies an opportunity to arouse the public against him. For Instance, and this is typical Would Tidy Things Up Ford was being Interviewed recently and one of the questions was as to what he would do with the government at Washington if he were President. "I’d tidy things up." Henr yreplled. The question and answer and the thought ended right there. Remember Ford’s statement of some months ago about the “commodity dollar^’ The idea was he would have our monetary system get away from the gold basis and be established rather on its purchasing power. Embellished with a little more highbrow stuff, we have a campaign on now for a commodity dollar. There was a bill before the hist Congress to “stabilize the dollar” and It brought to its support most of the prominent and liberal economists of the country. But the idea was a little too defl nite and until the November elections are over In 1924 Ford is going to forgot about the "commodity dollar.” Bryan Might Testify And in that, his friends insist he is wise because the opposition Is always looking for something like that on which to build an unfair or fair prejudice. William Jennings Bryan might give some testimony in that respect. The moment Ford becomes a real factor In the campaign it. Is certain we are going to live through much of that history of the 1896 battle. A Republican Senator has his mind entirely on Ford. He was and Is an ultra-conservative —a Republican who hopes President Harding will be reelected. but who now thinks there Is little chance. “If I knew Henry Ford was going to be elected I’d sell everything I’ve got short and then sell the currency short to get gold.” But the Industrial history of the Ford plant tells another story. Assistants Conservative Henry may be quoted as dreaming a lot of things vague and Incomprehensible, but he always has managed to get the most conservative assistants, his friends point out. If Ford takes change of the Government, his friends insist, his first move would be to till the Cabinet, with tnen of the type in his organization. Undoubtedly Couzens would be there if he would consent to serve. The Interior Department would have an engineer at its head. Hoover could remain as Secretary of Commerce. A. Baruch, or some other man who had made a study of farm marketing, would be Secretary of Agriculture. So on. The idea would be to get the machine-like efficiency of the Ford Industrial organization. f oal Miner Killed By Times Special CLINTON, Ind., June 7.—James Bennett, 26, miner, was killed at the Bogle mine.

Rich City Banker’s Wife Who Had Been Ailing, Complaining, and Doctoring for Years Funds the Way Back to Health and Strength In a Country Drug Store

For years neither my husband nor I got any enjoyment out of life because of my ill health. I was always ailing, nervous, weak and run-down; never actually bed-ridden, but life seemed Just one ailment after another. Headaches one day, stomach upset the next, dizzy spells, pains in the back, colds and neuralgia. One day I would think I had heart trouble because of pains around the heart, another time I would have all the symptoms of kidney trouble with a dull, aching back. My lips and cheeks were pale and sallow and I looked years older than my right age. One day in a little village drug store, the druggist, a kindly old man, said to me, “You surely look all run-down and anaemic. Until you get your veins full of rich, red blood and the color back in your lips and cheeks, you’ll always be doctoring for one pain and ache after another. Your blood is thin, pale and watery for lack of iron and when your blood lacks iron your food simply passes through you without doing you any good. All your vital organs arc starved for nourishment and you get these symptoms of dangerous diseases. “You take an old druggist s advice and
