been suggested that the provision
might make too great a demand on the
banking resources of the country re-
suit in the calling of leans and con-
sequent stringency. The Democrats
reached no definite agreement, but
Chairman Owen agreed to tabulate the
figures available on the subject and
present them to the committee, tomor-
row. Senator Hitchcock and the Re-
publieans continued to write their
draft Of the bill. They increased the
gold ,ecerve to be held against the
new currency to 45 per cent. and pro-
vide that when the reserve fell below
that point, it should be taxed on a
graduated scale down to the minimum
of 50 per cent. The bond refunding Sec
ton was completely changed. AS
amended it would prove that each re-
gional bank should, each year, invest
50 per cent. Of it's available capital in
the 2 per cent. bonds at par ws.ch are
the basis of the present bank notes.
the regional banks would then be al
lowed to exchange the per cent. bonds
for per cent. 1-year government
notes, agreeing to renew the notes fo.,
20 years. These notes would be avail
able for use in foreign markets to Sc
cure gold to maintain the reserve,
The Republicans also made numerous
aJhentimeat correcting what they re-
raft'ed as discrepancies in the bill and

Aunt Sally's Advice
to Beauty Seekers.

Red Nose. The nose is more
delicate organ than most peopie imag-
inc. 1t should be touched as little as
possible. For undue redness the
treatment recommended in following
paragraph will be found effective. APP
ply without rubbing.
Muddy Skin. The sanest safest
and surest method of giving a clear,
healthy, transparent appearance to
the complexion is to apply ordinary
mercolized wax every night for from
one to two weeks. This wax, obtain
able at any drug store Cone ounce is
sufficiently, actually takes off a bad
complexion by gently and gradually
absorbing the thin veil of surface skin.
The new skin then in evidence is as
fresh and yelyety as a young girls.
The wax is applied like cold cream

Fear Threat OF
Diseased Potatoes.

Washington, Nov. I.-The Associa-
ton of American Agricultural Col
leges and Experiment Stations which
has teen holding meetings here, TINS
past week. adjourned, Saturday. The
assoeiatien elected A. c. True Of the
United States Agricultural depart
ment, president, and j. L. HIS OF
Burlington, Vt, secretary ana treas
urer. There was a large New Eng
land attendance at the convention,

Charles f. johnson Of Maine, Robert
]. Alley, president of the University OF
Maine; DIR. Charles d. Wood, director
of the United States Experiment sta
ton at Orono,, and DR.. Morse, patho-
logist at Ororo, appeared before the
department of agriculture to urge
that the embargo against the imper-
tation of diseased potatoes into this
country be continued The embargo
now extends to the British Isles, but
the department has been CONDUCTING
Investigations in Canada and the
Maritime Provinces. a report of which
was read to the Maine delegates.
From that report and from other
sources the Maine men believe there
is serious danger of diseased potatoes
reaching this country unless the en-
largo extends beycnd its present ter
ritory and is made to include Nova
Scotia and New Brunswick as We'll
The powdery scab now prevailing in
the two latter places is especially to
be feared, for should it find its way
into this country, its eradication
would be exceedingly difficult if not
impossible.
The potato crop of Maine, in 1913,
reached the enormous amount of 26,-
$40, 900 bushels Maine sends seed po-
tatoes to all parts of the country, and
furnishes great quantities to Texas
and other Southern states where the
Maine white potato is not self-repro-
ducing Neither the soil nor the cli-
mate of the South is conducive to
white potato self-repeoduction and a
succeeding crop cannot be raised from
potatoes planted in that soil, except
in a small corner in North Carolina
where the altitude is high and wealth
er comparatively. cool
For this reason seed potatoes are
bought annually from New England.
and should the powddy scab or other
potato disease get a foot hold in this
country, especially in Maine and 9TH
er great seed producing states, the in
feetion would quickly spread through
out the country.

The material was there, but your food

truth is you hardly get enough nour-
ishment from your meals to pay for
the cost of cooking. This is true of
thin folks the world over. Your nu-
tritive organs, your functions of as
similation. are sadly out of gear and
need reconstruction.
Cut out the foolish foods and funny
sawdust diets. Omit the flesh cream
