MILLS ATTACKS ROOSEVELT ON RECOVERY PLAN G. 0. P. Presidential Hope Flays Centralization of Power. Prr* TOPEKA, Kan., Jan. 30.—Ogden L. Mills, last secretary of the treasury in the Hoover administration, las flight made a forceful attack cm the Roosevelt recovery program in what many believed to be Mr. Mills’ opening bid for the Republican nomination for President. Mr. Mills was the principal speaker at a Kansas day banquet, annual love-feast of Kansas Republicans. He made a vigorous attack on centralization of power in the hands of the President, and criticised severely the monetary maneuvers of the Roosevelt administration. His 1,300 hearers applauded vigorously. Mr. Mills warned of dire results if emergency relief measures are made permanent policies and condemned in strong language the government’s asserted attempt to regulate the private lives of citizens. Congress Action Scored He called upon Republicans, as the minority party, to permit the adoption of no important measures "until they have been subjected to the tests of critical analysis and open discussion.” Mr. Mills severely criticised congress for its hurried granting of unprecedented powers to President Roosevelt. “The abdication by the congress hnd the delegation of powers to the executive are in effect creating a government of men without any practical limitations of law,” he said. “We have to turn back many centuries to the days of absolute autocrats to find so great a power over the live* of millions of men lodged In the hands of a single fallible human being. - ’ The tendency is for the President •o seek still greater power, he Warned. Criticises Monetary Policy "It is daily becoming more apparent that through the system of codes, the federal executive is attempting to establish detailed bureaucratic control over all business and industry, large and small,” he said. “I would not have you infer that I am opposed to the NRA and all its work, - ’ he said. “I am not. I en opposed only to its extension far beyond what I believe its original conception was, or at least, ought to have been.” Mr. Mills also was critical of the policy of “recovery through spending.” He was equally crit.cal of the monetary policy of the goiernment. “I have no faith in monetary manipultaions as a wholesale means of raising prices. Uncertainty as to the ultimate value of the doliar destroys confidence,” he declared SEIDENSTICKER LIKELY POSTMASTER CHOICE Acting Chief Is Opposed in Civil Service Tests by Two. Adolph Seidensticker, acting postmaster, is almost certain to receive the appointment as Indianapolis postmaster, it was learned today, although two other men seek to qualify under civil service rules for the position. The other men are Marvin R. Burnsworth and John H. Chapman. Mrs. Burnsworth now is a substitute clerk at the postoffice and Mr, Chapman is listed in the city directory as a clerk living at 4041 Bowman avenue. Mr. Seidensticker has the indorsement of Senator Frederick Van Nuys. PRESIDENT ELECTED BY NURSES' ALUMNA: Miss Mary Heckard Chosen Head of I. IT. Association.

"—if I don't someone else will have my job” HOWf “Well, I learned years ago that work . . . wear and tear . . . takes something out of men and women—particularly those who work indoors. “Good food and fresh air at night are most valuable, but I found that the so-called simple tired feeling—‘let down’ some call it —comes from overtaxing one’s strength. “I tore down those precious red-blood-cells faster than my good body could rebuild. A friend told me the story of that grand medicine S.S.S. Now at 4 P. M. I am fit to still ‘carry on’.” One of the really sad things in life is the pushing aside or “shelving” of the weak ... someone is always ready for your job. Why not reason sensibly that when you begin to “let-down” then it is time . . . before it is too late ... to build back your vitality f Os course, if you suspect an organic trouble, consult a physician or surgeon. But if v ou feel weak . . . lack a keen appetite ... or if your skin is pale .. . try S.S.S. as a part of your regular daily diet. Take it just before meals. Unless your case is exceptional, you should soon notice a pick-up in your appetite ... your color and skin should improve with increased strength and energy. S.S.S. is not just a so-called tonic but a tonic specially designed to stimulate gastric secretions, and also having the mineral elements so very, very necessary in rebuilding the ox}gen-carrying hemo-glo-bin of the blood to enable you to “carry on” without exhaustion as you should naturally. If your condition suggests a tonic of this kind, we recommend S.S.S. because its value has been proven by generations, as well as by modern scientific appraisal. S.S.S. is truly a blood and body tonic. It is sold by all drug stores in two convenient sizes . . . the larger is more economical. ☆ ☆ ☆ <r There is no substitute for S.S.S. Secure S.S.S. from your own druggist... with few exceptions drug- • gists are ethical and conscientious, and will not suggest a substitute, ro medicine has the same formula as this time-tested Blood Tonic... nor does any other concern gather the same roots with their own trained collectors and extract the active medicinal principles, unchanged. in their original fresh state —this is the secret of 5.5.5.... there is no substitute. Thousands of people have a low red-blood-cell count and don't recognize it. S.S.S. is useful in promoting a keen appetite and restoring deficient red-blood-cells and their hemo-glo-bin content which are so necessary for sound health. ©Th S.S.S. Cos.

rate also showed a decline with 50,500 infants bom in 1933 as compared with 53,075 in 1932. There were thirty-four less homicides last year, but forty-seven more suicides. In automobile accidents, 1.103 persons lost their lives as compared to 989 in the preceding period. Alcoholism caused the death of 121 people in the year that saw the repeal of prohibition and only ninety-four the year before. Both diphtheria and tuberculosis are on the decline, if statistics serve as a criterion. The tuberculosis death rate has fallen in a year's time from 59.9 deaths out of a hundred thousand to 56.9. The diphtheria mortality has dropped from 5.2 to 4.5 in the same period. There were 2,675 deaths of infants in 1933 and 2.900 in 1932. Deaths by cancer and smallpox also showed a slight decrease in that period.
