Washington, March 20.-President Harding combined an errand of mercy with first hand study of one of his administrative problems today by spending more than two hours among the wounded soldiers at Wal ter Reed hospital. Accompanied by Mrs. Harding and Dr. E. C. Sawyer, his personal physi cian whom he has charged with an investigation of the general welfare of public health and social welfare, the president looked through the wards and entertainment rooms of the hospital, greeting scores of the patients and asking them what could be done to make them more comfort able. In a short talk from the front steps of the administration building, he .told an assemblage of patients and nurses that he wanted to see a'gov ernment policy that should fully rec ognize what the soldiers of the great war gave to their country, and later at the Red Cross hut he made a speech praising the services of wo men in the winning of the war. The question of proper hospital facilities and medical attention for wounded soldiers is one which has been much in Mr. Harding's mind since his election and during today's visit he asked about many details of hospital administration. Among other things he studied the vocational training system fer the wounded, and Mrs. Harding brought away as a souvenir of the vocational plant a hammered silver jewel case made and presented to her by Private Joseph Yurkunski. To all of the wounded men with whom they talked the-president and Mrs. Harding extended the hospitali ty of the White House, suggesting that those from Ohio arrange to come in a body soon to call on them. In a talk from the hospital steps, Mr. Harding recalled the example of a Confederate war veteran he had known, who despite the loss of both arms and one leg always kept talking cheerfully of the future and of the opportunities it might bring. "I offer to you men." continued Mr. Harding, "that same compensa tion. Look forward always to the morrow. I am sorry the burden has come so hard to you but you may be sure the government never will be un mindful of you and your condition." At the Red Cross hut the president declare.1, the work of women in the war and the aftermath of war ranked as the greatest service ever rendered by the sex to humanity. "The greatest thing woman has done in history," he said, "was the fulfillment of her part in the winning of the war for civilization. When I bring that tribute to you I know it is the tribute that has been in the hearts of the men in the armed forces who felt that you ministered unto them as only angels of God Almighty could minister." Why Colds Are Dangerous. It is the serious diseases that colds lead to that makes them dangerous. They prepare the system for the re ception and development of the germs of influenza, pneumonia, tuberculosis, dyphtheria, scarlet fever, whooping cough and measles. You are much more likely to contract these diseases when you have a cold. For that rea son you should get rid of every cold as quickly as possible. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will help you. lt is widely known as a cure for bad colds. Get Your Seed Corn or Cot ton Seed? Here it is after the middle of March and before you know it the leaves on the oak trees will be bigger than "squirrel ears"-corn planting time on hand and no seed. Better look into this matter today. See if the rats or weevils have got into the supply that you laid aside, and unless you used careful selection in this it would be a wise policy to order some seed corn of a known va riety from some good seedsman you will find his ad in The Progress ive Farmer-and use this seed as an i improvment. i The lawyer buys' "better books" on law so that he can become a bet ter lawyer. The doctor buys "better books" on medicine so that he can be a better doctor. Books to the lawyer and doctor are "seed" and the think ing farmer buys "better seed" so that he can produce better crops. Think this over and send in that order to day. Remember the reliability of Progressive Farmer advertisers is guaranteed, and ch^re are lots of peo ple anxious to help you. While you are thinking about corn, don't forget your cotton seed. One of the best means of fighting that "pesky" weevil is by planting early fruiting cotton-beat his time. If your cotton was late last year, the weevil .got more than his share. Get even with him this year. Nobody will get mad if you "cheat" him a little. Cotton seed, lots and lots of them, are being advertised in The Progress ive Farmer-look them up and order tc day.-Progressive Farmer. sl?-S THE COUGH. CURES THE LUNGS*
