From Hair or Fuzz
(Toilet Tips) y

The method here suggested for the
removal Of superfluous hair is quick
ana certain and unless the growth is
extremely stubborn, q single applica-
tion does the work. Make a stiff paste

water; apply this to the hairy surface
and after about minutes rub IL off,

FINDS COMFORT IN
WHAT LIVING COST
DURING CIVIL WAR
HARRY C. JAMES.

Cost OF living in the United States
was much higher during the civil
war than it is today.
Groceries in Iowa during 1854 were
12s per cent aobve the present prices.
1t does not relieve the consumers
distress to learn that consumers fifty-
three years ago were in greater ais
tress, but IL is a kind OF consolation
when you are in trouble to learn that
somebody else has been in greater
trouble.
These are the declarations made by
Assistant Secretary OF Agriculture
Clarence Ousley, in an address last
night to the Civil Association at the
Metropolitan Presbyterian Church.
Producer To BE Considered.
The Federal official declared that
the problem OF the high cost OF liv-
ing must be approached from the
standpoint OF the producer.
I'VE can no more solve the prob
lem." he continued, without consid.
ering him, than We can build a house
without laying a foundation. The old
adage that you must catch your rab-
bit before you can cook him might

raised before 1t can be purchased.
Hence any intelligent consideration
OF the subject must start at the farm,
and since the farmer is a free moral
agent in the enjoyment of the rights
of person and property, he 10 not sub
ject to order or compulsion.
"Since some two-thirds OF the
people of the United States have
elected to live in towns and cities and
have left to one-third OF the popula-
tion the task OF feeding and clothing
the whole population. and a good part
of Europe besides. it is not difficult
to understand that the law of supply
and demand is infiicting the penalty
of the high cost OF living.
CuItIvstOrs' Troubles.
Notwithstanding prevailing high
soiI-that is, the man who by his own
labor produces the food we eat and
the clothes we wear-is not burdened
with income taxes. The enhanced
value of land. the depletion OF soil
fertility, the scarcity OF farm labor,
and the high prices of all that the
farmer buys are making serious de-
ductions from his gross returns.
"In many large areas OF the West,
% to 100 per cent of the acreage was
and in many other large
areas the wheat yield was not more
than FIVE bushels to the acre. Wheat
at S2.20 seems high. though it means
only $1.s5 to S1.96 at the loading sta
tion, and 1t is now profitable at a
yield OF fifteen to twenty-five bushels
to the acre, but II you had 100 acres
OF wheat and lost half OF II by winter
kill or spring drought and the re-
yielded you only five bushels
TO the acre, you void have at 81 a
bushel a gross return of only $500, or
less than enough to pay for the
breaking and planting OF 100 acres"

SEAMEN AND FIREMEN
ARE SOUGHT BY NAVY

The Navy Department today sent to
all recruiting officers instructions TO
enlist all the apprentice seamen and
firemen that apply for service.
This order followed the calling into
active service at training camps of
the hundreds of recruits who since
enlisting have been given furloughs
to remain at their homes until the
navy had facilities for their training
as sea fighters.

WINE GRAPES STRIKE;
REFUSE TO FERMENT

CALISToGA, Cal. Oct. 11.-For the
first time in many years wine grapes
in the upper Napa valley are too
sweet and simply refuse to ferment,
thereby causing the winemakers to
buy large quantities Of new cooper
age.
As a usual thing, the grapes will
not be bought by the wineries unless
they test a certain percentage of
sugar. but this year the wineries are
crying for more sour grapes, and are
requesting all growers to pick their
first and second crops at once.

PSYCHOLOGY HAS AN
EFFECT IN BASEBALL
BY II. c. HAMILTON


United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, May 30.-perhaps
the greatest secret OF the baseball
success of Fielder Jones in the man
agement OF major league clubs lies
in the psychic effect OF certain things
ne mixes in with the regular run of
the game.
Jones more than any man in the
game. knows and appreciates the fact
that baseball players are just wee
biz more prone TO view the suspicious
side Of four clover or q rabbits foot
more than the average human. He
is we'll aware that Eddie Collins does
funny little things with the button
on top OF his cap when he reaches
the two-strike stage OF a time at bat
Also he knows that baseball player
who lretends 10 any temperament
at all beats it for the water bucket
after strikeout. And whether he
needs 1t or mol this baseball player
always takes q drink
Jones knows these things aud he
knows the moral effect Of other
things.

CHANCELLOR HAS
PRESS AGENTS
Berlin Newspapers Do Not
Hail New Bureaus With
Enthusiasm
tBy Associated Press.l

Copenhagen, Sept. 6.-The Berlin
Press is decidedly non-commitaI az
to the promised blessings Of the
press bureaus which are to be es-
tablished in connection with every
department OF. the government.
The system OF Chancellor Michaelis
is based upon the idea OF enabling
newspaper reporters to obtain news
direct from the information bureaus
from the various ministries all of
which are placed under the direct
charge or the chancellor's press
chief. Baron Won Braun. The baron
explained to newspaper men that the
chancellor had not thought Of at
tempting to influence the press and
desired merely to guard against un-
founded criticism under which the
government has suffered often In the
past and to keep control or the whole
publicity organization IN his own
hands. The chancellor was RESPONSE
BILE. the baron explains, for the entire
empire and was therefore entitled TO
demand that all the press depart
menta Of the various ministers
should instruct the press along the
lines of his policy.
