he could be of more service as Secre

"I left it to Mr. Harding to determine
whether he considered I can be of more
service to the public as Secretary of
Commerce or carrying out the public
trust already entrusted to me as a pri
vate citizen."
Mr. - Hoover's statement was dictated
after he had announced that, upon in
vitation to become a member of the
next cabinet, he had put up to Mr.
Harding a , proposal for general recon
struction of the department of Com
merce. The statement was issued af
ter Mr. Hoover had been asked by
newspaper men if his announcement
meant that he would enter the cabinet
if his views were met.
Other considerations entering int6 the
matter, Mr. Hoover continued, cencern
ed the European relief administration.
He declared he had undertaken th re
sponsibility of directing the expenditure
of thirty or forty millions of dollars inJ

Indigestion is seldom cured by diges
tive tablets assisting the stomach di
gest food. -They, like physics, pills,
etc, make slaves of the stomach.
Milks Emulsion Is a pleasant, nutri
tive food and a corrective medicine. It
restores healthy, naturaj howel action,
doing away with all' need of pills and
physics. , It promotes appetite and
quickly puts the digestive organs in
shape to assimilate food. As a build
er of flesh and strength, Milks' Emul
sion is strongly recommended to those
whom sickness has weakened, and is a
powerful aid to resisting and repairing
the effects Of wasting diseases. Chron
ic stomach trouble and constipation are
promptly relieved. It produces re
markable results in colds, coughs and
bronchial asthma.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that it is eaten, with
a spoon like ice cream. Truly won
derful for weak, sickly children.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion under
this guarantee-r-Take six bottles home
