American Valuation.
When discussing tho proposed tariff
legislation tho Ptesldcnt said cotu'crnlnu
n much debuted feature:
"Thero Is a manifest dlffcrenco of opin
ion about tho American valuation. Many
nations hnvo adopted delivery valuation
ns thn basin for colleetltiK duties; that Is.
they tako tho cost of tho imports deliv
ered at tho port of entry ns tho basis for
levylnK duty. It Is no radlral departure,
in vlow of tho varylnK conditions and
the disordered statu of money values, to
provide for American valuation, but
thero cannot bo Ignored tho dank'or of
nuch a valuation brought to tho level of
our own production costs, makiiiK our
tariffs prohibitive.
It mlKht do so In many Instances
whero Imports oiiKht to bo oneouraued.
I bellevn coiiKiess ought well to consider
tho desirability of tho only protiiHlni; al
ternative, namely, a provision ititlioilz
ItiK proclaimed American valuation, un
der prescribed conditions, on any Klven
list of articles Imported.
In this proposed flexibility, aulhorlzInK
Incnases to meet conditions so likely
to change, thero also should be provl
nlon for decreases. A race may bu Just
today, and entirely out of proportion ulx
montha from today.

Needs of Agriculture,

"Somethlntc moro than tariff ptotee

liitge crops lower tho prleeii and short
crops advance them. No legislation can
euro that fundamental law. Hut th ro

excessive viiilatlon in returns tor agri

"It Is Hither shocking to bo told, and
to have the statement strongly supported,
that e.W.ieO bales of cotton, raised on

Co-operation Advocated.

tho co-operative community has become

"Theio Is an appeal for this experiment.
Whv not trv It? No ono challenges tho
right of tin; farmer to a larger sharo of
the consumers' pay for his product, no ono

Plea for Aid to Russia.
Mr. llnrdlng's plea for help for starving
IlusMnua was as tollnws:
"Whllo wu are thinking of promot
ing tliu fortunes of our own people.
I am sure thero la room In the .sympa
thetic thought of America for fellow
human beings who are suffering and
d!ng of starvation In Kussla. A se
v re drought In tho alley of the Vol
ga has plunged lfi, 000.000 peoplo Into
grievous famine. Our voluntary
uircnules are exerting themsches to
the utmost to save the lives or chil
dren In this area, but It Is now evi
dent that unless relief Is affoided.
the loss of life will extend Into the
millions. Americans cannot no neni
to such n en II 'is that.
"7o df not reeognlzu tho government
of J'.UKHl'i. nor toletate tho propagan
da which emanates therefrom, but we
do not forget the traditions of Itus
siati friendship. We may put nntiln
our consideration of nil International
politics and fundamental differences
in government. The big thing Is the
call of the suffering and tliu dying.
Unreservedly I recommend tliu appro
priation necessary to supply thu Amer
ican relief administration with 10.000,
000 bushels of corn and 1.000.000 bush
els of seed grains, not nlono to halt
the wavu of death through starva
tion, but to enable spring planting In
areas where thu seed grains have bet
exhausted temporarily to stem starva
tion. "Tho American relief administration
Is directed In Kuhslu by former olll
cers of our own armies, nnd has ful
ly demonstrated Its ability to trans
port and dlstrlbuto lullef through
American hands without hindrance or
loss. Tito tlmo has cfimo to add the
gncrnmont'H support to tho wonderful
lellef already wrought out of the gen
erosity of thu American private purse.
I am not unaware that we have suf
fering and privation at home When
It exceeds tho capacity lor the icllif
within the states concerned it will
have federal consideration. It seems
to me we should be indifferent to our
own heart promptings and out of ac
cord with tho spirit which acclaims
tin- rhrlhttn.is-tlile If we do not glo
out of our national abundance to
lighten this burden of woe upon n
people blameless and helpless In fam
ine peril."
United States Will Help World.
At tho outset, the President dls
cuhi1 world conditions, saying "A
world testoratlon program" would
huvu to bo worked out "by tho na
tions more diiectly concerned."
Tho United States will help, ho
added, unselllshly because, thero In
compensation In thu consciousness of
assisting; Hellishly because tho com
merce and International exchanges In
tiade. which marked our high tido of
fortunate advancement, are possible
only when thu nations of nil conti
nents uru restored to stable nicer and
normal relationship,"
In conclusion ho had this to say
about tho armament conference;
"Agrcoablo to your expressed desire
ilud In complete accord with tho pur
poses of legislntlvo branch of thu gov
ernment, thero is In Washington, as
you happily know, an International
conference now most earnestly at
work on plans for tho limitation of
armament, a naval holiday, nnd tho
Just settlement ofi problems which
might develop into causes of Interna
tional disagreement.

The harpies who prey on public

who have been conducting ntoney-rals-Ing

thee Hy-by-nlght promoters havo

dupes veterans who are, themselves,
honest, but have been Induced by ur
gent need to grasp aC tho straw of a
Job which tho swindler dangles before
them.
llehind n shield of plausibility, tho
promoter sends his money solicitors
oat upon the public. Needless to say,
Httlo of the money raised actually Is
used to assist the unemployed e.x
scrvlce men. Tlie promoter takes good
care to see that his account books, If
he keeps tiny, never record the full
amounts which havo been extracted
from tho sympathetic public. And If
ho makes a pretense of accounting for
the way the money Is expended, this
ncrounling Is only a clover construc
tion of falsities, Intended to protect
the promoter, If ho Is made the sub
ject of inquiry by public olllcials. The
system by which ho operates precludes
honesty.
These swintlleis- often copy the
names and methods of organizations
, which are legitimate and havo repu
table sponsors. The names the em
ployment swindlers select for their or
ganizations only too often Inspire pub
lic conHdence because thoy may easily
bo confused with those of long-o.xisting
public charitable societies. The Amer

to detect, expose and prosecute organi

Real Rest Depends Largely Upon
the Depth of Your Sleep
A warning to "light" or "poor sleepers
Tho deeper und sounder you sleep the better
you feel. Five hours sound refreshing sleep does
you more actual good than ten hours restless,
disturbed sleep.
This is because tho final conversion of food
into vital tissue and nerve cells goes on moro
rapidly when the physical and mental forces are
at rest.
You can't get sound, refreshing sleep if your
nerves are agitated with tea or coffee. Both theso
drinks contain caffeine, which is sometimes very
irritating to tho brain and nervous system.
If you want to know the joy, vigor and
