Asked to comment upon the various actions which attend ed the organization of the General As sembly, he declared: "I am naturally pleased at the ac tion of the Legislature in organizing in a manner tbat insures speedy action on all matters to which we arc pledged to the people of Pennsylvania. It is indicative of party unity in the speedy enactment of the laws the people have by their votes declared to be necessary to the welfare of the Su»te. "I most heartily welfome this spirit of co-operation. We must enact pro gressive legislation in hurinonv with the spirit of the times. With the Legisla ture and the Executive in accord, our eitizens will obtain legislation of a most desirable nature in the near fu ture." It was stated yesterday that Dr. Brumbaugh might not name his entire cabinet, but merely appoint his Attor ney -General, Secretary of the Common wealth and some few other officers at the start of his term. Other appoint ments could he made later, and the lure of the patronage held out as an inducement to the leaders to maintain good behavior on the part of the Or ganization in the Legislature. The recess nominations of Governor Tener, now held up in the Senate, are ex-pected to be considered by the now Committee on Executive Appointments to be named by President Pro Tem. Kline. Discuss the Program Govftrnor-elect Brumbaugh took the initial steps yesterday for the presenta tion of his progressive measures in the Btate Legislature. Dr. Brumbaugh was visited (luring the afternoon by Sena tor McNichol, Senator Vare and Speak er Ambler and discussed with them in separate conferences plans for promot ing his legislative program. - Under an understanding with the leaders, the Governor-elect is expected immediately to designate the particular planks in which he is vitally interested, and will urge legislation in this direc tion when the special conference com mittee of the Legislature consults with him, as now planned, early next week. It is understood that the Governor elect will insist that local option, yhild la'bor and workmen's compensation bills be brought before the Legislature, and it is the present intention of the lead ers to humor him by placing these meas ures on the calendar for early consid eration. With this program of action mapped out, the Legislative Bureau will get busy at once and w'lip the bills in shape. They will be passed upon by the experts to clear the phraseology of any flaws, and then submitted to the new Governor and his Attorney General for approval. Brumbaugh's Program First As planned, the Uovernor-elect will be given a ajear road to present his measures as distinct Brumbaugh legis lation, and the numerous legislative statesmen who have tills of their own for the uplift of the State may liave to wait until the school man's program is properly considered by the Legislature. To carry out this '-o-operative plan, the leaders propose to discard the for mer method of "pickling'' bills in committees, and in the future hold wholesale debates on the vital measures. Speaker Ambler and President Pro Tem. Kline are expected to appoint commit tees -atisfanorv to the Governor-elect, HOW I CURED MY CATARRH TOID IN A SIMPLE WAY Without Apparatus, Inhalers, Salves, Lotions, Harmful Drugs, Smoke or Electricity HEALS DAY AND NIGHT It Is a new way.

BETTER THAN CALOMEL Thousands Have Discovered Dr. Ed wards' Olive Tablets Are a Harmless Substitute Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub stitute for calomel—are a mild but suro laxative, and their effect on the liver is almost instantaneous. They are the re sult of Dr. Edwards' determination not to treat liver and bowel complaints with calomel. His efforts to banish it brought out these,little olive-colored tablets. These pleasant little tablets do the good that calomel does but have no bad after effects. They don't injure the teeth like strong liquids or calomel. They take hold of the trouble and quickly correct it. Why cure the liver at the expense of the "teeth f Calomel sometimes plays havoc with the gums. So do strong liquids. It is best not to take calomel, but to let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its place. Most headaches, "dullness' and that lazy feeling come from constipation and a disordered liver. Take Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets when you feel "loggy" and "heavy." :Note how they "clear" clouded brain and how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and 25c per box. All druggists.

Should the measure escape death in the House, it is expected to be practically murdered in the Senate. The leaders, however, plan to kill the bill in the open at this session, instead of smothering it in committee, as in the past. Plan to Kill Local Option While this fate for local option would not conform to the Brumbaugh plat form, the leaders declare that the Gov ernor-elect cannot well object to legis lators deciding for themselves, or, as they put it, "voicing the views of their respective constituencies," in defeating the local option bill after proper debate and a definite rol call. The child labor and workmen's compensation bills will receive like treatment in the Legisla ture, but it is expected that these meas urs will meet with success. The leaders by adopting this plan of procednre hope to keep the Governor elect in a friendly mood toward the Capitol Hill patronage and, likewise, to make the Organization the agency for presenting the Brumbaugh legislation. By forcing the pet measures to early consideration it is likewise planned to greatly expedite the business of the General Assembly, shut the gates against a flood of bills along similar lines, and thus assist the Legislature to a comparatively early adjournment. While no date has been fixed for ad journment, out of deference to the ex pressed wishes of the Governor-elect, the leaders are confident that he would not Object to their closing down the legisla tive mills after his bills were disposed of. 10,000 Apply for Johs At Fair San Francisco, Jan. 7.—Desire to see the Panama-Pacific international ex position has flooded the offices of the fair with ten thousand applications for employment, while only one thousand ■positions are open to women.
