What to Use and Auoid
On Faces That Perspire

Skin, to b healthy, must breathe. It
also must perspire-must expel. through
the pores. it, share of the body's waste
material. Certain creams and powders
clog the pores, interfering both with
elimination and breathing, especially dur
ing the heated period. If more women
understood this there would % fewer self
ruined compilations. If they would use
mstics they would have healthy complex
ions. This remarkable substance actually
absorbs bad skin, also unclogging the
pores. Result: The fresher. younger un-
derskin Is permitted to breathe and to
show itself. The exquisite now complex
ion gradually peeps out, ono free from any
appearance Of artifciality.
Obtain an ounce of mercolized wax from
your druggist and try it. Apply nightly
like cold cream for q week or two. wash
ing It Oh mornings. There's nothing quite
% good for an ovsy-red, tanned or ffecklsd
face.-Advertfnpment

Presents Serious Problem.

The shortage of farm LABOR through
out the middle west and the country
presented serious problem, l. was
stated, and one which unless correct
ed will lead to lower production of
foodstuffs, which in turn will lead to
even higher prices than at present
prevail.
Public misapprehension over the
prices that farmers are receiving for
their products is having tendency to
reduce production, it was declared. 1t
was intimated that wheat acreages
throughout the country will be cut per-
haps 25 per cent next year, bringing
the acreages down to about pre-war
level, despite the fact that the United
States is scheduled ito feed the world"
Pork products in Indiana alone, it was
stated. will be cut 25 per cent by rea-
son of present prevailing conditions.
The farmer representatives asked
Secretary Houston to use his efforts in
securing an assistant secretary to take
the place of Carl Vrooman, resigned,
who would be an agriculturist and rep
resent the farmers of the country.
