will make this plain. 1 have had the
opportunity to visit many parts of
the state and Republicans everywhere
are anxious to see Philadelphia fall
into line with other counties and be
able to present a united and unani-
nous front for the ticket to be named
in the May primaries.
This end is being sought by Repub-
licans not only for the gubernatorial
campaign but also to insure the next
state Legislature and the next Con-
gressional delegation from Pennsyl-
vania being Overwhelmingly Repub-
lican.
Perhaps never before have the
people Of Pennsylvania been so thor
oughly alive to and in touch with
beth state and national issues, and it
is of the utmost Importance, in the
light of these facts, that Republicans
should see a reunion realized. AS for
the gubernatorial situation, 1 am sure

faction of all before the May pri-

Rub Face With Announced Cocoa
And Watch Wrinkles Go
Beauty Doctor Says Any Woman May
Have Clear, smooth skin, Free
From Lines and Wrinkles.

II you have wrinkles or crows feet
and want to remove them don't stick
plasters on your face or apply dan
gerouS lotions or creams which may
injure your skin, nor resign yourself
to the idea that you must continually
be embarrassed by these marks of
time, but go TO any good druggist and
get little ordinary amonized cocoa
and apply this over the wrinkles for a
few nights and you will be surprised
to see how quickly they disappear and
how nicely it brightens up the old
dead skin and contracts the enlarged
pores.
winifred Grace Forrest, who is an
authority on Beauty culture. recently
stated in the New York World that
any woman who has wrinkles, enlarg-
ed pores or tlabby. loose skin could
positively and quickly overcome these
destroyers of beauty by the use of
this simple yet delightful and natural
beautifier. Furthermore, the cost is
so little that it is within the reach of
all.
The above, coming as it does from
such a Connoisseur of Beauty, should
appeal strongly to every lady who ap-
preciates what a fair face means to
the gentle observation-disclosures.

bushels OF 1917 wheat are now In port
for Allied destinations or en- route
thereto. The total shipments to Allied
countries from our last harvest OF
wheat will be therefore, about 14l ,0OO,-
600 bushels, or total Of 154,9OOOOO
bushels of prime breadstuffs. In ad-
dition to this we have shipped some
1OOOO, 900 bushels to neutrals depend
ent upon us, and we have received
some imports from other quarters.

in this matter stands out even more
clearly If we bear in mind that we had

over our normal consumption about
200 100000 bushels Of wheat which we
were able to export that year without

Hoover said. "This last year, however.
owing to the large failure OF the 1917
wheat crop, we had available from net

proximately savings from our own

Japan's Income Tax Increases.

Japan having decided upon an in
crease In her navy that involves the
expenditure of $150,O0O,0O0, spread
over six years, general increase of
taxation has been proposed, and it will
probably be carried out.
The income tax Is to be raised In a
way to bring an aggregate addition
of 20 per cent, the increase being
graduated so as to be only 10 per
cent upon the smallest incomes and
so per cent upon the largest. The
minimum income tax will be $3.50.
A war profits tax is to be initiated
on both business profits and on in
comes, but no personal income of less
than $1,50O a year will be taxed on
account Of its having risen during the
war, and in this way the wages of
working people and moderate salaries
do not have to pay for the wage In
creases Of war time. Higher than
81 800, personal incomes must pay 10
per cent of increase and companies
that have increased profits must pay
20 per cent tax upon the increase.
