WITHDRAWAL OF DORAN. DRY LAW HEAD. RUMORED Prohibtion Leader Will Be Shorn of Authority by Congress’ Act. BY JOSEPH S. WASNEY t'nitfd Pre** Staff C'orr^pondent WASHINGTON. Jan. 22—Reports that Dr. James M. Doran will resign as prohibition commissioner as soon as congress passes legislation transferring enforcement activities from the treasury to the Justice department, were prevalent, here today. Dr. Doran a career man who entered the federal service twentythree years ago as a chemist, neither would deny nor confirm the reports, but said he bed no intention of reigning immediately. Doran Gets Offers The commissioner of prohibition receives a salary' of $9,000 a year. Several large Industrial concerns have offered Doran a salary far exceeding this amount, to act as a technical adviser. When he leaves the dry service, it is believed several of his aids also will retire from official life, including Dr. W. A. Linder, who now is chief chemist of the prohibition bureau. Doran has been prohibition com- i missioner since April, 1927, succeeding Roy A. Haynes, who took office under President Harding in 1921. Under Doran's direction the bureau personnel was placed under civil service and efforts were made to put enforcement activities on a sound basis by weeding out. many agents. Would Lose Power Under the new prohibition lineup proposed by President, Hoover, the commissioner of prohibition would have his power reduced. Instead of being at the head of one of the greatest crime detection organizations in the government, he merely would have supervision over permits for physicians’ prescriptions, industrial alcohol and cereal beverage manufacture. Anew executive would be created under the justice department to supersede the treasury’s commissioner. Attorney-General Mitchell, as head of the justice department, would name a commissioner to carry on under his supervision the enforcement work Doran has been directing.

Veterinarians Prosper, Despite Horse’s ‘Passing’

Modern ‘Hoss Doctor’ Must Be Highly Skilled, Speaker Says, Veterinarians are more prosperous and necessary than ever, despite the displacement of horses by automobiles and gas-propelled farm machinery', it was declared today at the Indiana Medical Association’s annual jneeting at the Severin. The old-fashioned “hoss doctor,” discussions disclosed, has been replaced by the modern veterinarian who must be as expert at animal surgery as a family physician in the human field. “In the old days, we had to drive ten miles with horse and buggy to get to a single case, while now, with advantage of the automobile, we treat more cases, and have more time to spend in our offices studying scientific advances of our profession,” Dr. T. A. Sigler of Greencastle, an old-timer with thirty years experience in the profession, said. “Modern veterinary science is applying the same methods, instruments and scientific skill to treatment of diseases in poultry, dogs and livestock today as are used in treatment of human beings,” he declared. v To prove this he exhibited a small instrument which he said is used for cleaning the animal’s teeth. “We must know dentistry too. and this little instrument is used in place of the toothbrush.” Firms manufacturing surgical instruments are now making a special hydraulic operating table for the canine species that is as complete as any used by physicians, he said. “There are more dog and cat hospitals today because people are realizing necessity for keeping pets in good health. "Tire veterinarian has become the guardian of human health as well as that of animals, for he plays an important part in prevention of diseases communicable to man from animals.” All these phases of the profession were being discussed by technical experts at tire conference. Dr. L. A. Wood of Greensburg. association president, presided. The sessions will close Thursday. Dr. S. W. Bratten. McCordsville, was elected president of the association Monday. Other officers chosen were: Dr. R. H. Boyd, Indianapolis. secretary-treasurer; Dr. R. C. Applegate. Bloomfield, vicepresident. and Dr. H. W. Dempsey, Huntington, and Dr. H. E. Bryan, Angola, executive board members. JOHN 0. FLIES—ALMOST Rockefeller Takes Jaunt n Plane, but Never I,eaves Ground. Bv l nitnl Prtff ORMOND BFACH. Fla.. Jan. 22. John D.

Stubborn Coughs Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up a stubborn, lingering cough. It takes but a moment to prepare and costs little, but it gives real relief even for those dreaded coughs that follow severe cold epidemics. From any druggist, 2 1 *! ounces of Pinei, pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than yon could buy ready-made for three times the cost. It never spoils and tastes so good that even children like it. Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflamed throat membranes with surprising ease, but also it is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system in throwing off the cough. It loosens the germladen phlegm and eases chest soreness in a way that is really astonishing. Finex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form.
