The big annual Charity Ball given

be held in both the lounge and din
ingroom. These rooms will be taste
fu?lv decorated lor the cvoutng.
'ihe space is limited, consequently
the number of tickets will be limited.
"When a Child Droops"
Hurry, mother! Relieve the little stomach, liver and
bowels of souring food, bile and poisons. Look at the
tongue! Children love to take harmless "Cascarets" be
cause Cascarets taste like candy—only 10 cents too!
Children droop and wither like tender flowers if you permit bile,
■our fermentations and constipation poison to be absorbed into the
system.
When a child's tongue is white, breath feverish, stomach sour, you
can always depend upon good, safe "Cascarets" to gently but thoroughly
clean the dogged-up places. Children love to take Cascarets, the candy
cathartic which never gripes, never injures, never disappoints. Each
10 cent box contains directions and dose for children aged one year old
and upwards.

called to police court for a hearing
to-day following his arrest shortly
after midnight when he was discov
ered on the fire escape at the seo
ond floor window -of the Koons

cept Sellers' statement that he made
a mistake, because he was declared

Learn Manner in Which
Large Fund Will Be Spent
Washington, Jan. B.—Republican
opposition to the $100,000,000 appro
priation requested by President Wil
son for European relief was mani
fested yesterday in both branches
of Congress. In the Ho*xse. Repre
sentative Moore, of Pennsylvania,
blocked consideration of a bill carry
ing the appropriation by refusing
unanimous consent to take it up
either to-day or Thursday. Chair
man Sherley, of the appropriations
committee, he would seek a
special rule to get action Thursday.
Senators Borah and Smoot an
nounced in the Senate that they
would oppose the measure unless
more information regarding plans
for the use of the money was forth
coming.
"If we have no more informa
tion than is given in the President's
message," said Senator Borah, "I,
for one, will not vote for the appro
priation. We are entitled to know
where this money is going, what
peoples are to be fed and the plans
and methods of carrying out the pro
ject.
"I shall note vote this $100,000,000
if it is to be expended by Mr. Hoover
in the manner he expended funds
in this country. I'm not willing to
vote on generalizations. We must
have detailed facts."
Senator Smoot said he was sure
the appropriations committee would
not approve the President's request
unless more information was given.
