Two other officials of the bank were sentenced by Baltzell two weeks ago, Karl I.

CONFEREES CUT FEDERAL TRADE BOARD'S FUNDS Action Denying Money to Operate to Be Fought by Liberals. /?*/ Scrippu-Hoicant \. tespaper Allianrt WASHINGTON. Feb. 25.—Action by senate and house conferees denying the federal trade commission funds with which to operate during the next fiscal year will be fought in the senate by liberals of both parties. Conferees late Friday reduced the amount allowed the commission from the $1,101,500 a.l'owed by the senate to $780,000, an increase the original house figure of $280,000 for the purpose of completing the investigation of utilities. However, without the sum allowed by the senate, the economic division of the commission only fact finding body in the government, will be disbanded. It will be possible for liberals to block passage of the independent offices appropriation bill by this congress if they choose to do so. With only five days of the session left and the calendar of the senate choked with pending business, it would be a comparatively simple matter to prevent a final vote on the conference report. v Senate conferees who abandoned* the senate's position in favor of more money for the commissions are Senators Henry W. Keyes (Rep., N. H.), Reed Smoot (Rep., Utah), Frederick Hale (Rep., Me ). Carter Glass (Dem., Va.), and Royal Copeland (Dent., N.

The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you nnisf watch your liver and bowels—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes—pimples—a bilious look in your ■ face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. I)r.
