    Bryan in Appeal
for Elimination
of Poultry Ban
Governor Declares New York
Embargo Hardship
on Nebraska
Shippers.
Lincoln, Dec, 13.—Governor Bryan
today appealed to Governor Smith of
New York for a modification of the
>(ew York city beard of health em
bargo against chickens from Nebras
. lta. Admitting that a small amount
of disease appears In eastbound ship
ments, Governor Bryan contends that
the ailment Is contracted In shipment
and this can be avoided If cars are
cleaned before being sent west, lie
says the embargo means a loss of
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
Nebraska people, and will result In
higher cost of living to New York
people.
Governor Bryan’s message to Gov
ernor Smith Is as follows:
"New York city board of health has
. Issued embargo against poultry from
Nebraska and other midwest states.
> As to Nebraska, I believe embargo
unnecessarily rigid. My investigation
indicates that there Is practically no
disease In Nebraska poultry, but that
a small amount of disease Is de
veloped In transit or after reaching
jour state.
"Ldve poultr.v transit companies
should be compelled to thoroughly
fumigate their Cars before sending
them west, which would prevent de
velopment of disease In transit from
Nebraska. We are ordering all cars
and poultry houses thoroughly fumi
gated In this state as a precaution,
and would respectfully suggest a
modified embargo on Nebraska poul
try by a rigid Inspection of Nebraska
poultry on arrival at New York,
iath^ than a total embargo, which
seems unfair and unnecessary.
"This embargo is costing Nebraska
hundreds of thousands of dollars and
will probahly also add a load to cost
of living of j-our people. I hope that
you can have this embargo matter
carefully and speedily investigated
and any modification that can be
made which will no endanger the
health of the public will not only be
appreciated by me, but will be of
great financial benefit to the people
of bhth Nebraska and New York."

The Gland That
Causes Men to
Get Up at Night
The gland that causes getting up
at night Is known as the prostate
and Is a notorious trouble maker. It
is estimated that 6S out of every 100
men past 40. and many under that
age, have prostata trouble, which, If
unchecked, often leads to a serious
operation. The prostate surrounds the
neck of the bladder like a washer.
Naturally, when the bladder becomes
inflamed by poisons which the kid
neys filter out of the blood, the Irrita
tion spreads to the prostate. As the
gland swells, It closes the neck of the
bladder, making urination difficult
and painful and causing pains In the
biK-k, head and legs.
An easy way t° treat these annoy
; lng and dangerous conditions Is to
take one or two renex pills after each
njeul. The renex formula has been
• victorious In thousands of such case*.
One authority says It also has a valu
able tonic effect. Anybody wishing
to prove the value of the formula can
get a full else, two-dollar treatment
of the pills under a money-back guar
antee by sending the attached coupon
to the address given therein. If you
prefer, you can pay the postman two
* dollars and postage on delivery, ln
etead of sending the money with your
order, in any case. If you report with
in ten days that you are not entirely
satisfied, the purchase price will be
refunded at once, upon request. This
Is a thoroughly reliable company, so
you need not hesitate about ordering
the renex If you need It.

Woll May.Succeed Gompers
yrfrrr//rW Wo/l
\
Prominent, if not foremost among the nation's labor chiefs, mentioned
as possible successors to Samuel Gompers as president of the American Krd
eration of Gabor, is Matthew Woll, now a vice president of the federation,
and head of the photo engravers union.
No one man in the executive council was closer to Mr. Gompers than
Mr. Woll, and for the last two years, in fact, he has been regarded as
“spokesman for the chief."
In the present state of affairs, he is regarded as the leader of the ‘‘ad
ministration" faction of the organization, which carried its program suc
cessfully against all opposition at the recent convention of the federation at
El Paso. He Is looked upon as a strong contender for the choice of the execu
tive council which meets next week to select a temporary successor to the
dead labor chieftain, to serve until the next convention, to be held in the
fall of 1925.
Officials “Razzed”
at Gridiron Dinner
President Coolidge Awarded
Royalties on Copyrighted
Constitution.
_
By International New* Sen Ice.
Washington, Dec. 13.—Assembled
at the annual winter dinner of the!
Gridiron ctyb tonight the nation’s
outstanding political figures, headed
by President Coolidge, saw their
sacred mantles of dignity and high
office torn asunder and subjected, in j
burlesque, to a running fire of wit
and raillery.
As Is the custom of the club, almost
every man prominent in public life
was given a good-natured "razzing"
for his actions In some national
event of the past year.
President Coolidge was awarded
royalties on the eonstitutlorf because
he "had got a copyright on it for
campaign purposes."
The feature of the evening's enter
tainment was an auction sale of "the
greatest collection of election rem
nants In history.”
The radio amplifier over which
President Coolidge made his cam
paign speeches was auctioned off to
William M. Butler, chairman of the
republican national committee—"the
highest bidder." It then developed
I the amplifier actually was a Maxim
1 silencer, but Butler announced he
would give it to his friend, Secretary
of the Navy Wilbur.
The president's "pictorial farmer's
costume," so widely featured last
summer In Vermont, went to Senator
Magnus Johnson of Minnesota, who
denied he was going to have his pic- j
ture taken In It.
"I’m going to use It after March 4.”
he said.
A pair of "campaign angel's
Wings.’’ which Barney Baruch dis
carded after McAdoo’s defeat In the
New York convention, went to Chair

Red Cross Nurse
Corps Has 40.000
Members on Roll
A n n u a 1 Report Shows
Organization Is Spread
ing Health Gospel
Over Nation.
By THOMAS K. BROWN,
Intrrnatlunul Ne»v» Service Stuff
Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 13.—The Ameri
can Red Cross is prepared to' extend
quick and effective aid anywhere in
the United States in times of epidemic,
of a well-equipped nnrsing corps num-i
tiering 40,000, according to excerpts ■
from the yearly report of the organi- j
zation made public today.
The work with which the organiza
tion has engaged itself within the;
last year has been the conservation j
of life ngainst the ravages of disease, i
and accidents in industry. To this
end first-aid instructors and lecturers
disaster, or war through the medium
were sent throughout the country dis
seminating information to help check
and eliminate this strain upon the na
tion’s greatest resource—its man
power. ,
"This corps of 40,000 qualified,
nurses forms a nursing reserve which
is immediately available to' the gov
ernment in time of epidemics, dis
asters, or war,” the report states.
“The assignment of public health
nurses to communities having no
other public health agencies is a part
of the Red Cross program. During
the year 1,000 of these nurses carried
the message of health to the people
in as many localities. In addition,
five nurses, maintained by a fund be
queathed by Miss Jane A. Delano,
wartime director of the Red Cross
Nursing service, are on duty in re
mote and isolated sections of the,
country—one on Islands off the coast
of Maine, one in Idaho, one in Vir
ginia, a fourth in Alaska, and the
fifth in the mountains of North Caro- ]
lina.
Seek to Reduce Accidents.
"During the 13 months of the war
with Germany," the report continues,
"125,000 persons were killed by acci
dents In America, or one and one-haif
times the number of battle casualties
suffered by American troops at the
front. The Red Cross is seeking to
reduce these losses and offers Its
course In first aid to railroads, fac
tories, mines and various industries—
to schools and groups of people every
where.
"More than half a million railroad
employes during the last 10 yeurs
have been given Red Cross first-aid
instruction, and the result* have
plainly shown Its value. The experi
ence of the Red Cross shows that the
accident rate among Industrial work
ers who received this instruction was
75 per cent less than among unin
structed.
During the year 14,000 persons com
pleted the Red Cross course In first
aid, 4,000 more than in the previous
year, and 148,000 were reached with
demonstrations by the first aid car.
which traveled 8,646 miles over the
railroads of the country."
The prevention of bathing acci
dents and the instructing of a well
trained volunteer life-saving corps
also was enumerated as one of the
activities of the Red Cross, which was
energetically developed during the
year. New members, numbering 18.
000, were added to the Red Cross
life-saving corps. Increasing the per
sonnel to 50,000.
50,0(10 In Life-Saving Corps.
‘The Red Cross Lifesaving Corps,
now numbering 50.000 members, was
first organised In 1914, ' the report
states. "It was organized to combat
the loss of life through drowning at
the watering places of the country.
All these members, Including men.
women and children, are trained life
savers. able to rescue and revive a
drowning person. Last year 18,000
new members were added to the orps
—an Increase of 6,000 over the previ
ous year." The report points out
these figures do not Include the
thousands who passed the Red Cross
tests, but failed to fulfill all require
monts to entitle them to secure mem
bership certificates and wear the of
i ficlal Insignia.
The report stated that Interest In
ths Red Cross course In home hygiene
and care of the sick has greatly in
creased within the last year. Last
year 67.000 students took the course,
of whom one-third were school stu
dents. The Red Cross also appointed
1,088 nurses as Instructors in this
course.
"The course alms to teach, first,
preventive measures; second, how to
keep well; third, simple nursing meth
ods of faring for the sick in the
home.
"The courso also aims to assist
In reducing Infant mortality by In
struction on the proper care of In

of simple health rules and their ap

At the present time, the report
stated, every one of tho 5,452,745

dren are taught proper health habits
und are encouraged to take part In

to a close June 30, 1924, the report
concluded, and, following Its custom,
the American Red Cross will hold the
annual roll call this year from Ararat

German Cabinet
to Quit Monday
’’resident Ebert May Ask Dr.
Stresseman to Form New
New Ministry.
By Universal Nerrlre,
Berlin, Dec. 13.—The first week of
the new German cabinet crisis pre
cipitated by the paradoxical election
results, enJed in a deadlock.
Stresseman's peoples party declared
formally tliat It would not enter the
new cabinet unless the nationalists
were taken in and the CdTffollc
center party, including Chancellor
Marx, declared it would not enter un
less the nationalists were kept out.
The nationalists have threatened the
most ruthless oppositions if they are
left’ out and the socialists have done
the same. There the matter rests
over Sunday.
On Monday the present Marx cabi
net will formally submit its resigna
tion to President Ebert and Ebert Is
generally expected to ask Dr. Stresse
man—whd precipitated the last cabi
net crisis and practically forced the
election in the effort to get national
sists into the cabinet—to go ahead
and form a new cabinet to his heart's
content.
But both Stresseman and the na
tionalists are badly scared by the un
favorable echo which the proposed
semi-nationalist cabinet evoked
throughout the world. It Is thought
certain that Stresseman will decline
to head such a cabinet for' that rea
son and it is expected that national
ists will advise President Ebert to en
trust the mandate for the chancellor
ship to a man of the Cathlic center
party who would be expected to try
to persuade even the democrats to
stay in the cabinet and thus give it
a less belligerent appearance.
The outcome is therefore clouds,
and doUbt ts felt that any super
party man can be found who could
end the deadlock.

Atlanta, Ua., J)eo. 13.—Because he

to listen to the pleadings of a young
woman to "go out on a party." C.
A. Roark, 32-year-old supervisor of
automatic telegraph machines In the
office of the Western Union Tele
graph company here, tonight walked
up to his wife’s temptress, Pena
Moore, 21, and shot her five times
in the back, killing her almost in
stantly. Miss Moore and Mrs. Roark
were both automatic operators and
were sitting -at work, side by side,
when Roark opened fire.
Mrs. Roark told the story of her
hushand’s rage when she was taken
to police headquarters along with
Roark, who was arrested, still hold

Mrs. Roark told police she had
been closely associated with Miss
Moore for years before she becamd

said, had resented the attentions paid
her before her marriage by Roark
and after the marriage hud attempted
to "come betw-een" her and her hus

Saturday night, the young woman
said, she had been asked by Miss
Moore to "go out on a party," but
she had refused, and told her hus

Roark, in his cell, was almost hys- j

Planning a new home and getting

decided where they wanted that new
home and then would have dug It.
Iiut now the ground was frozen.
There could be no digging.
They made sure that their old.
home had been ruined. They poked i
their heads in at the front door and
at the bark door. The smell of smoke'
was still strong. There was no’
doubt that that home was ruined so
far as they were concerned. In the
first place there was that smell of
smoke. But worse still was the know
ledge that all those hunters knew
where that home was. It wouldn't
be safe to live there.
"It's no use," said Mrs. Reddy
sadly. "We may as well give up all
thought of using this old home any
more. I wouldn't feel safe a minute
in It. No. sir, I wouldn t feel safe
a minute. I don't know what we'll
do, for we can't dig a new home
with the ground frozen this way. I
suppose well have to use an old
house.''
, "I suppose we will," said Reddy
meekly, "I suppose wc can use the j
old one we had two years ago over
on the edge of the Green Forest.
"We ll go look at it," declared Mrs.
Reddy.
So toget her they started off.
When they reached the old home
they found the doorway partly fill
ed In with sand and leaves The sand
was frozen
Mrs. Reddy set to work with her
black paws, she soon had the leaves
and sand out. She went on down
in Presently she poked her head
out.
"It might tie worse '• said *he We

Reddy was so meek and humble
that he was ready to do anything.
He didn't even grumble as he went
to work. It really wasn’t very much
of a Job after all. It didn’t take
them a great while to get the old
house fixed up well enough for them
to live in. Then they sat down to
talk things over.
"No more chickens for us," said
Mrs. Reddy decidedly. "We’ve got to
keep away from all henhouses for a
long time. We can’t afford to be
hunted again the way we were hunt
ed yesterday. Its a wonder both of us
are here now. Another hunt like that
and we would have to leave this part
of the country altogether. As it is.
i we’ve got to make the best of a bad
I matter. Now. Promise me . Reddy,
that you will keep away from the
chickens.”
.."I promise," replied Reddy. "I’ve
learned my lesson. I ll starve before
1 go near a henhouse again ”
Mrs. Reddy looked at him long
and sharply. Then, satisfied that he
really meant what he said, she gave
a little sigh of relief.
