ANSWERS TO QUERIES.

Miss Elise ]. X: Even though you
are not handsome and magnetic, you
can still be q very attractive girl.
Keep yourself always well groomed,
cleanly and dressed in good taste. Be
cheerful and agreeable. Dress your
hair becomingly without attempting
any Of the extreme styles which
usually make the prettiest face un-
attractive. Keep your complexion
clear, your eyes bright and your mind
free from morbid notions, and you viii
find that you are quite as much sought
after as your friends who you think
have such an advantage over you, as
far as 'good looks" are concerned.
Friend: If you use powder every
day-either dry or liquid powder
you will find It absolutely necessary
to give your face a thorough cleans
ing at night, else the pores will be-
come clogged and the skin will grow
muddy looking. Use cleansing cream
first, followed by a facial bath In
warm water and mild soap. Rinse in
clear warm water and finish with a
dash of cold water. If the skin is
inclined to be dry, little Of the
cream should be rubbed on after
wards. If there Is a tendency to the
formation Of wrinkles, nourishing
cream is necessary, and II there are
deep lines, wrinkle plasters are very
helpful in smoothing them out.
Inquirer: You would have better
success with your curling fluid II you
left out the glycerIp entirely Other
wise the formula Is all right, and It
should make very good mixture for
your purpose. There is nothing in It
which could cause the least harm to
the hair and you can use It every DAY
without fearing any III results.
Mrs. william NJ: From what you
ten me- in your letter. you need feel
no alarm about the condition Of your
hair. It does not fall out any more
than Is normal, and since 1t does not
seam to be- growing any thinner, \
Is probable Just the dead hair which
is dropping out and new hair is grow
ing IN al the time.

inquietudA, and dizziness, are
promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the
period in life when woman's
great change may be expected
These symptoms are calls from
nature for help. The nerves are

THE SO-ACRE PROVISION
CONGRESSMAN RUCKER Of Colora-
do has introduced q bill in the House Of
Representatives to amend the 320-acre
homestead law by the addition Of the
following provision in the section re-
quiring the entryman to cultivate an
eighth Of the land beginning with the
second year, and one-fourth beginning
with the third year of entry:
Provided, nevertheless, That if such
land is more valuable for grazing pur-
poses than for the growing of crops,
any improvements. such as the sinking
of wells, reseeding of native or other
grasses, building of fences, building
dams or catch-basins for storage of flood
waters, or other surface improvements,
may be allowed and accounted for in
value equal to and in lieu of the break
ing up and cultivation as above provided
for in the original ACT, the purpose and
object of this amendment being to meet
the objection that upon many Of these
lands crops other than grass can not be
successfully grown. and the destruction
of the original grasses ultimately des-
troys the usefulness Of such lands.'
Whatever the fate of the amendment
may be, there can be little question of
its merit. The law as it stands, requir-
ing the cultivation of eighty acres even
tho such cultivation involve actual loss
of labor, must work much hardship on .
vast number of entrymen making hon
est effort to comply with the law.
Aside from the waste involved in at
tempting to cultivate too great an acre
age of land possibly more valuable for
its native grass, there is the added fact
that for many entrymen it is physically
impossible for them to meet fully the
requirements within the time limit.
The settler has much to do the first two
or three years of his residence besides
breaking sod. Houses, stables and
fences must be built, wells must be
dug. and lumber, feed and supplies
must be hauled, ofttimes from villages
distant twenty miles or more.
OF course it is to the interest Of the
entryman to cultivate as much ground
as may be proftably handled; but here
again many will be handicapped by the
lack Of adequate implements and sufii
cient horsepower. Such persons will
be desirous of getting as much ground
as possible under cultivation, and be-
cause of that 8O-acre requirement will
in many cases be tempted to slight
growing crops in order to increase their
acreage of plowed ground. That the
method is wasteful all experience has
demonstrated. Total failure will result
more often than paying crops, while
proper handling of smaller acreage
would insure fair crop each year.
The average homesteader does not
come to his land with complete farm
equipment and big bank account. He
must get equipment and experience
gradually, and make living at the
same time. The requirements multiply
the hardships Of the early years of the
entry, serving to'wear out and discour-
age those most in need of homes. The
man financially able to stock and equip
a 21O-acre farm n not the man who
