W. C. Bacorn, of Jardine, Montana, urged a duty of four cents a pound on this product, which is {now on the free list. Questioning of the witness de- veloped that the commercial price of calcium arsenate, a by-product of white arsenic, and used principally ' by cotton growers, would be in- creased 1.45 the proposed tariff. J. W. Boyer, Monsanto Chemical Works, St. Louils, got into an argu- ment with the committee when he hesitated to state the cost to his com- pany in producing theobromine, from which a caffein is obtained. After a warning from Chairman awley that unless such data were forthcoming the witness would stand little chance of getting the item con- red when the rate-making began, he declared the cost was $2 a pound and the import price $1.15. He asked a duty of $1 a pound instead | of the present 25 per cent ad valor- em. Contending that not enough of the material was produced here to keep plants operating, Martin Cantine, Saugerties, N. Y., urged restgration of caffein to the free list. The pro- duct, used by coated paper manufac- turers, now bears a duty of 2% cents a pound.

Keep system in good condition There's no need to get panicky because the papers are full of news of an influenza epidemic. There's no usc in isolating yoursclf because a lot of other people are sick with it. If you take two simple precautions every day—and then don't worry —the chances are you will throw off any cold or “flu’* germs you are exposed to, and keep well. We're not recommending that you dose yourself | with a lot of medicines, either. Just observe #fwo { common-sense health rules which can be easily followed. TRST ofall, make sure your system is in first class order. Don't let it get slowed up or sluggish. See to it that it functions perfectly. The easicst way to getrundown and ina condition to pick up d; } meglect this all-importan { Physicians agree that, particularly in times of epidemic, pu tives and cathartics is not advisable. Many doctors are ther prescrib- ing Nujol, as in no case does it cause exhaustion or wea tem in any way i ng of the sys- | | Nujol can't possit . For i disagree with you con.ains b ] absolutcly no medicine or drugs. Get a bortle today at your nearest 4 drug store and start raking Nujol | tonight as one si vay to keep fir , and ro protect yourself against in- q“ fluenza, + That's rhe first precaution. Now for the sccond. Keep your nose and throat well protected with Mistol. When you get a bottle of Nujol, get a bottle of Mistol, too. Dr. David says: “I'm advising all my patients these days to keep Mistol on hand and use it regularly. The first thing in the morning before you go out. And again at night when you come home. Don’t be afraid to use it frecly. It will do no harm. And then stop worrying. You've done all you can to safeguard yourself. *‘Put Mistol up your nose. There's 2 special dropper that comes in every package that makes it very easy tc use. Just tilt your head back and drop it in your nose until you feel it in your throat. You'll notice the pleasant, cleansing effect at once. Mistol clears your head and makes breathing easy. It has a healing, soothing effect on the membranes and relieves any irritation or inflam- mation. It helps dry up a running nose. Use it, too, as a gargle. Mistol is good for a sore throat or hacking cough. And above all, protects the nose and throat agaid¥t germs “Don’t wait till you begin to sneeze or your throat aches. Take my advice and get 2 bottle of Mistol today. Every druggist knows it." The combination treatment of Nujol and Mistol is a double safcguard against influcnza. Start this wise two-fold precautionsow. Don'tdelay. Nujol and Mistol are both made by the same famous laboratorics, of the finest quality matcrials and with the greatest skill possible. Both prepara- tions are harmless. At all druggists. Aren't they worth trying? — PLANES 1 AST L0G TELLS OF FLIGHT ‘Story Gave No Inkling of Motor Trouble Metropolitan Afrport, Los Angeles, Jan. 7 UM—The last log of the Ques- tion Mark, dropped only a few hours before the plane was forced down at a dead motor. gave ne inkling of the motor trouble which cut short the flight.

A. 1 ruling which requires the airplane to land at the point of takeoft.” The glass for the aliding window which fell out two days ago was received Sunday, on which day quite & few planes were in the air. At times we were close, ‘‘close your eyes open,” wrote Lieutenant Quesada.

He said, “This is a good bunch up nere. "All pleasant, and willing; ©no | grouches aboard. The wehk cylinder in the left motor is cutting up again.” Other reports were to the effect that last ‘night was fine and good contacts were established.
