Don't Make aloy Out of Baby’ -'Babies Have'Nerves By ruth Brittain Much of the nervousness in older children can be traced to the overstimulation during infancy, caused by regarding baby as a sort of animated toy for the amusement of parents, relatives and friends. Baby may be played with, but not for more than a quarter of an hour to an hour daily. Beyond tiiat, being handled, tickled, caused to laugh or even scream, will sometimes result in vomiting, and invariably causes Irritability, crying or sleeplessness. Fretfulness, crying and sleeplessness from this cause can easily be avoided by treating baby with more consideration, but when you just can’t see what is making baby restless or upset, better give him a few drops of pure, harmless Castoria. It’s amazing to see how quickly it calms baby’s nerves and soothes him to sleep; yet it contains no drugs or opiates. It is purely vegetable—the recipe is on the wrapper. Leading physicians prescribe it for colic, cholera, diarrhea, constipation, gas on stomach and bowels, feverishness, loss of sleep and all other "upsets’ of babyhood. Over 25 million bottles used a year shows Its overwhelming popularity. With each bottle of Castoria you get a book on Motherhood, worth Its weight in gold. Look for Chas. H. Fletcher’s signature on the package so you’ll get genuine Castoria. There are many imitations.—Advertisement.

MILLIONS ADDED TO TAX CUT MEASURE

Graduated Rate Allowed on Corporation Incomes Less Than $15,000. By United Press WASHINGTON. May 14.—Democratic leaders, encouraged by their success in adding 24,000,000 more in cuts to the tax reduction bill, continued their fight on the administration’s revenue program in the Senate today. The bill provided for a $289,000,000 tax cut as passed by the House, $203,000,000 as amended by the Senate finance committee, and $227,000,000 as further amended on the floor of the Senate Saturday. Reduction of the tax on small corporations accounted for the addition of $24,000,000 to the total. Democrats mustered sufficient strength, with the help of two Republicans, Senator Norbeck and McMaster of South Dakota, to pass an amendment providing for a graduated rate ranging from 5 to 9 per cent on corporation incomes of less than $15,000. The finance committee had recommended a flat rate of 12 >4 per cent, with a $3,000 exemption. The 12'a per cent rate was retained for corporations making more than $15,000 net profit, although Democrats favored 1114 per cent. Chairman Smoot of the finance committee will seek to reverse the Senate’s decision on the graduated tax amendment before the bill finally is passed. Automobile tax, income surtax, and estate tax rates remain to be decided. Republicans are confident the rest of their $203,000,000 program will be sustained.

ADAMS WILL FIGHT IT OUT FROM FLOOR Only Candidate Fitted to Oppose Dailey, Says Manager. Thomas H. Adams' campaign for* the Republican nomination will be carried to the floor of the Republican State convention here May 23 and 24, John F. Walker, one of his managers, declared today. Adams was third in the primary race with approximately 70,009 votes. “The leturns show that the candidates who made their appeal on the cleanup issue received an overwhelming majority,” Walker’s statement said. “We feel that the con r vention should heed the mandats of more - than 225,000 Republicans who voted for cleanup candiates and believes that one of these should be selected. “We feel that Mr. Auams should have, by virtue of the work he has done, the support of ail delegates who believe the Republican party must nominate a candidate in opposition to Frank Dailey, who has a proven record of outstanding courage and integrity. We feel that if the convention disregards the cleanup issue and believes that Mr. Adams was wrong in his exposure, the convention is honor bound to select Mr. Schortemeier. “We desire to call attention to the fact that Mr. Adams received almost seventy thousand votes without support from any group, or bloc, without support from any faction or combination of candidates. His support came entirely from earnest men and women in his party who were in accord with his platform. “Mr. Adams ran first or second in practically all the Republican strongholds in Indiana except Indianapolis. We feel that Mr. Adam* is the only man who can draw enough independent and Democratic? strength to assure success in November.” Speedway Official's Mother Dies By Times Special CENTERVILLE, Ind., May 14.---Mrs. Katherine Myers, 81, mother of Theodore E.
