APPROVAL GIVEN MOVE TO KILL GARNISHEE LAW House Committee in Favor of Retaining Weights and Measures Inspectors. Repeal of the garnishee law. retention of county inspectors of weights and measures, and amendment of a bill proposing a tax of 5 cents a pound on oleomargarine were among committee recommendations adopted by the house of representatives Friday. Garnishee repeal was favored in a report from judiciary committee A Representative Wilfred Jessup ‘Dem., Centerville), author of the repeal measure, declared the garnishee law is ‘ fundamentally wrong.” Th oleomargarine tax. under the amendment, would not be levied on the product of Indiana manufacturers shipped out of the state. Indefinite postponement of a bill which would have made optional, instead of mandatory, the employmrnt of county inspectors of weights and measures, was recommended, on the theory that cities are compelled to have inspectors. Bill which would have extended Jurisdiction of justices of the peace and affected municipal courts one and two of Marion county, was disapproved. Governor Paul V. McNutt's drastic plans for reorganization of the Indiana public service commission were submitted to the house of representatives Friday, in bills introduced by Representatives John F. White and Albert Schmollinger (Dems., Indianapolis).

Trade Commission Chief Fighting for New Deal Additional Funds Sought for Aggressive Battle to Protect Interests of U. S. Public. By Scripps-Hnward Xcwspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.—Charles R. March, new chairman of the federal trade commission, has launched the aggressive new deal he proposed. by asking congress to appropriate additional funds this year for the commission. March has asked the independent offices appropriations subcommittee for $105,000 njore than the $1,109,550 allowed by the bureau of the budget. If this is granted the total for 1934 still will be under that spent by the commission in 1932 and 1933.

March w'ants the commission to undertake a study of the causes of the depression, and a study of the relation between the anti-trust laws and overproduction in this country. He explained these purposes to the

c o n g r essional committee. He also wants to finish up the utilities investigation in a thorough manner so that p. c o mprehensive report can be presented to congress, and, when that is done, he w'ants to have trained men available to continue looking into the practices of utility companies whenever occasion w a rrants. For instance, the trade commission act is broad enough,

March believes, to permit at any time investigation of the new Edison Electrical Institute to see whether its members are indulging in power company propaganda. If the commission is allowed the money for which he has asked March thinks he can undertake his entire program, since investigations now in progress of chain stores, cotton seed industry and cement are almost finished. Fight People’s Battle ‘‘Our commission, if it functions properly, can save the people billions of dollars every year,” he says. “We have power over every kind of business except railroads, banks and packers. That leaves almost everything the people eat and wear, and use in their daily life. ‘‘We can put a stop to fraudulent misrepresentations and to widespread disasters like the Insull crash—if we can only get money to carry on the work. We are the one government agency created to look after the interests of the consumer, and it is an extremely important task. “People can’t fight their ow’n battles. They have no way of telling whether or not 10 cents a kilowatt hour is too much to pay for electric current. Good Chance to Get Money “We ought to be mandamused for not performing our obvious duties—yet how can we do them if we don’t have the money?”“It takes trained men to investigate business, for business hires trained men to help them cover up. We're having to let men go now as DOG SAVES LIVES OF 2 Rescues Year-Old Baby, Maid from Death by Gas. By Vnited Tress CEDAR RAPIDS. la., Jan. 21.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousands since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years, and calomel's oldtime enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patients for chronic constipation and torpid livers. Olive Tablets do not contain calomel. just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative, safe and pleasant. No griping is the "keynote" of these little sugar-coated, olive-col-ored tablets. They help cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a "dark brown mouth”— bad breath —a dull, tired feeline—sick headache torpid liver constipation, you should find quick, sure and pleasant results front one or two of Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets Thousands take them everv night to keep right.

6 COPS INJURED IN TILT WITHJOBLESS Rioting Again Breaks Out at Relief Stations. By Vnited Press CHICAGO. Jan 21. Additional precautionary measures at relief stations were planned by authorities today after half a dozen officers were injured in a battle with more than 1,000 demonstrators. The riot was the second this week at relief centers. Agitators, demanding “cash instead of paper,” had planned outbreaks at four stations. They were quickly repelled at three, but repeated calls for reserve police squads were necessary before demonstrators, wielding baseball bats and standards, were dispersed at the fourth. The outbreaks were prompted, police believed, by plans to fingerprint all persons receiving food at various stations in the city. PLAN TO IMPROVE OUT-PATIENT CARE Committee Named to Provide Adequate Service. Health board Friday night named Dr. Joseph M. Barry chairman of a committee to plan more adequate care of patients in their homes by the staff of city hospital. Other members of the committee are: Dr. Herman G. Morgan, board secretary, and Dr. Charles G. Myers, hospital superintendent. The committee was named because of the growing demands on the hospital’s out-patient department. According to Dr. Myers’ report for 1932, which was presented at the meeting, 180,000 patients were served in their homes by the hospital last year. In 1931, the number was 152,128. Total cost of the hospital and outpatient department last year was $522,660.29, the report showed.

POE, WHITMAN GREAT POETS, SAYSWILDER Outrank Longfellow. Whittier, He Tells Town Hall Group at English’s. America may not have ”a golden but she may have a "moderate age,” in literature and the fine arts. Thornton Wilder, author, told a Town Hall audience at English's Friday. Wider maintained that a great i genius slips in so smoothly and quietly that the great authors and poets of any age never get their real deserts until years after their deaths. "The great American poets are not Longfellow or Whittier,” he said. “The truly great ones were Edgar Allan Poe, a drunken poet, and Walt Whitman, an accentric. Poe’s greatness, according to Wilder, is not for writing "The Raven” and exciting mystery stories, but for wTiting “just a handful of lyrics.” “All the will power in the w-orld can’t make great lyrics but Poe’s lyrics will outlive the ages,” he said. Whitman's greatness rests in his ability to catalog American civilization. Whitman's true worth is more universally appreciated in Europe than in America, said Wilder. “Tom Sawyer” always will remain “a perpetual document” because it tells the truth about boys, said Wilder. “Mark Twain did a great service in WTiting ‘Tom’,” he asserted.

Methylene Blue Proves Aid to Treatment; Saves in Cyanide Cases. B-y Science Service SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 21.—Several thousand persons are killed each year ry carbon monoxide gas and cyanide. If naif this number could be saved by the newly discovered antidote, methylene blue, Mrs. Mathilda M. Brooks and D. J. C. Geiger of this city w-ould have made an epochal contribution to medicine and the welfare of mankind. For Mrs. Brooks, working in the department of zoology, University of California, hit upon the idea of using the common bacteriological stain as an antidote for these two poisons, and Dr. Geiger, director of public health, promptly put the idea into use. and two Jives already have been saved. Mrs. Brooks, who also holds a doctor’s degree, was doing research in biology, working in pure science, when she made the methylene blue discovery. Lhe knew that earlier investigators, chief among them Professor Otto Warburg of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Biology, Berlin, found in connection with the work on yeast cells and other organisms, that methylene blue counteracts the effect of cyanide and of carbon monoxide on living tissues. Dr. Brooks took the next step and tried the effect of methylene blue on animals that had been poisoned with carbon monoxide or with cyanide. She found it a successful antidote with "mall mammals, such as mice and guinea pigs, and in a report of her work to the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine in April, 1932, she suggested the use of methylene blue in human cases Stomach Trouble Try This New Treatment FREE Do you dread to cat, because of pain, gas bloating, acidity, sour stomach and similar distress?

CO-OPERATION . . . . SINCE 1874 CO-OPERATION made possible the incorporation of the Association in 1874. This same spirit has continued throughout all these years with the result that the Association has grown to an institution with assets of over 13 million. The Officers and Directors recognize and fully appreciate the value of this co-operation. They feel that it has been, to a large degree, responsible for the regular earnings which have made possible the fact that dividends have been declared semi-annually every year since 1874.
