CONGRESS FAR OVER LIMIT IN VOTINGFUNDS Appeal to Coolidge for Way Out of Puzzle on* Finances Seen. BY PAUL R. MALLON tniterf Pre*i SUIT Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Congressional appropriations authorized for government expenses next year thus far have exceeded by nearly $58,000,000 the appropriations made for he same governmental departments this fiscal year, a tabulation compiled by the United Press showed. The figure represents $1,200,000 more than authorized by the budget bureau and marks the first time in several years that congress has exceeded the limit of expense set by the bureau. Government statisticians are worried about the increases in view of President Coolidge's warning at the start of congress that the treasury is in a precarious financial position. Another cause for worry is the contemplated expense for the naval cruiser building program, and the farm relief bill, which will come out of next year's expenses. A table of the three bills Thursday thus far passed or near passage shows the following increases: Exceeds Exceeds Departments last years. budget. T S y .‘ n f.f°.*. t :,23. 3 20.6t 237,440 Interior 13.289.924 1,025,117 State, Commerce, . justice and labor. 21,327.591 27.180 Total *57.838.131 *1,289,737 Chairman Anthony of the house appropriations committee warns the treasury is facing a deficit of from $35,000,000 to $40,000,000 this year, whereas Coolidge had expected a slight margin of surplus. The remaining appropriation bills to be passed this session intrude those of the agriculture, war and navy departments and for the District of Columbia and congress. The budget bureau has contemplated no increases in any of these groups except in the appropriation for the agriculture department. If the navy and farm bills are passed the total government expense which will be inherited by President-elect Hoover for the first year of his administration may approximate $4,000,000,000. or $300,000.000 more than Mr. Coolidge thought advisable. The matter will be laid before Coolidge as soon as he returns from his southern vacation, in hopes he may find some way out of the financial dilemma.

Merely buying liquor isn’t breaking any law, held Federal Judge W. H. Kirkpatrick, pictured here, in a court decision handed down in Philadelphia. But if the buyer even orders its transportation, then he’s liable to prosecution under the United States conspiracy statutes, the judge stated. Prohibition officials welcomed the ruling, and planned additional prosecutions.
EARLY COLDS BEST Late Season Ills Last Longer, Studies Show. By Science Service WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.—Get your colds early this winter, if you would get over them readily. Industrial hygiene studies conducted by the United States Public Health Service show, stated Dr. Hugh S. Cumming, surgeon general, that “respiratory disease having their onset in late winter and early spring tend to be more prolonged than those which begin in the early part of the winter.’’ A lower resistance toward colds was shown by industrial employes toward the end of the winter than at the beginning, he said. One-half of the time lost from work on account of illness can be directly traced to respiratory diseases, Dr. Cumming told the house appropriations committee, stating that the United States public health service bases this conclusion on studies of dato from two different sources. The common cold, he said, accounted for 71 per cent of the total respiratory diseases in the record of one day or longer. In the records of sickness covering eight days or longer influenza and grippe occupy first place in frequency.

cine, one that nature herself would recommend. Each day the Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington streets, this city, hears amazing reports from former sufferers about the manner in which Konjola restored their health. The Konjola Man makes no promises or claims for Konjola—he merely points out facts, the surprising accomplishments of this master medicine. Cases like that of Mr. Merle J Brown, 1252 Markwood avenue, University Heights, Indianapolis, and that of his son Master Cleo Clifton Brown, are not unusual to Konjola. Read the statement of Mr. Brown, as he told it to the Konjola Man a few days ago: "Not only has Konjola benefited me to an amazing extent but it has also given new strength and health to my son, 6 years old. We were both in a rundown condition. I had suffered for eight years from stomach trouble, coifstipation and many symptoms of stomach trouble. Among them were gas bloating, a sour condition and a gnawing sensation in the pit of my stomach. Due to constipation I was unable to throw off the poisons in my system. My kidneys became weak and caused severe pains throughout my body. I was weak and nervous and for three weeks I was confined to my home with lumbago. My son. Cleo, who is 6 years old had been in a nervous state ever since infancy. He was never a strong and healthy child. He was underweight, very pale and was afflicted with a stomach disorder. Meals never appealed to him., and when he did eat, he always complained about pains and uncomfortable feelings, afterward. He was subject to colds, failed to sleep well and was becoming a very sickly boy. I was very worried about him. "Konjola was so strongly recommended to me that I decided to give it a trial. I started taking it first and gained amazing benefits from it. My stomach and kidneys were' regulated, strengthened and cleansed before I had hardly started the treatment, T found that food of any kind digested perfectly. Sound sleep was restored to me and all aches and pains driven froin my body. Konjola regulated my bowels so that the poisons in my system were properly eliminated. When I. saw how Konjola helped me I decided to give it to my son. Now, I want to say that four bottles made a different child of him. He eats well sleeps like a top and has gained in strength and weight. All signs of nervousness disappeared and have never returned. It is a marvelous thing the way Konjola won two victories right in my own home. I indorse Konjola to every father, mother, son and daughter. I know what it will do and believe it a boon to suffering humanity." This is not an exceptional case Konjola has thousands of them to its credit. It is sound and logical reasoning to believe that what Konjola has done for others it will do for you. All Konjoia asks is the chance to make you well. The Konjola Man is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington street, tills city, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this master medicine.—Advertisement.
