A Puzzle a Day

• 1. O l' o 2. GO 2. OR 3. AGO 3. OAR 4. •* * * 5 •** * • 6. • 7. DRAGOON This is a puzzle in word-building. Starting with the word "O,” in step 1. anew word may be formed by adding another letter. Step 2 shows how either "GO" or “OR" may be formed. In step 3 we can make either “AGO" or “OAR.” The problem is to fill steps 4. 5 and 6, so that by adding one letter to step 6 the word “DRAGOON” will be obtained. Using the letters in the word “DRAGOON,” you can form the preliminary steps any way you want: A. AN. AND; or O. ON, NOD. could make up the first three steps. As long as each step from 1 to C contains a bona-fide word, your answer will be correct. Answer to previous puzzle: The man ireceived 15 two-cent stamps (30c); five times as many ones (75 for 75c); and the rest (four) in fives (20c), which fills the conditions of the problem and makes a total of $1.25 spent for stamps.

DOESN’T NEED ANY LAXATIVES NOW Mr. Becker Says Life Is a Joy, Without Constipation or Stomach Trouble. “I had catarrh of the stomach and head for three years. My stomach was so bad that every time I ate anything sweet, such as fruit or pastry, I had terrible heart-burn. I took a laxative every night. “Since taking Milks Emulsion, my bowels move regularly. I have now taken ten bottles and have gained 10*4 pounds. All my friends remark how fine I am looking, and It seems a pleasure to live again, without stomach trouble.”—Bert Becker, Miami, Ohio.

CONGRESS PACES TASK TO KEEP' WITHIN BUDGET : Coolidge and Director Lord Hold Daily Conferences j)n Expenditures, \ By United Press WASHINGTON Nov. 19.—Providing money to run the Government and yet keeping within the limits set by the budget is one of the most difficult taks Congress must face. After almost daily conferences between President Coolidge and Director of the Budget Lord, the budget estimates are virtually completed. It is understood they will be well within the $3,500,000,000 mark set by the late President Harding in his demand for economy. Out of this amount sl,700,000.000 or $125,000,000 less than last year, will go for the ordinary expenses of running the Government. The remainder will be provided for interest on the national debt and the retirement of war bonds. One of the few increases to be al- ! lowed in the budget estimate* is for the Customs Service and the Internal Revenue Bureau. The revenue collection agencies have grown rapidly and the increases are to give them greater efficiency. The "pork barrel” bills, the public buildings bill and the rivers and harbors bill are certain- to cause trouble again this year. Representative Langley of Kentucky, eh iraan of the House Public Buildings Committee, has served notice on the President he intends to Introduce a measure calling for an outlay of for public buildings. While the Treasury Department Is resisting all unusual appropriations in order to promote the tax reduction plan of Secretary Mellon, it is somewhat embarrassed over the public buildings measure. The public buildings program is five years behind as a result of the war and many Government activities are cramped for space. Reports show that, in many cities it would be more than economical for the Government to build than pay rent.
