Because Germany is persecuting Jeics, some congressmen icill ask a partial lifting of American immigration restrictions.

Although the November elections sate defeat of many unorthodox pension proposals, many congressmen were elected with the backing of such groups as that formed by Dr. Francis E. Totcnsend, above.

The latest and best is made by forcing a light and hot medicated oil through a nozzle under 75 pounds of pressure.

Even if other remedies have failed, don't be discouraged, try Creomulsion. Your druggist is authorized to refund your money If you are not thoroughly satisfied with the benefits obtained.
