Good Looks

Good looks in women does nol
depend upon age, but upon health.
A woman's health depends moro
upon the feminine makeup than
upon anything else. You never
see . good-looking woman who is
weak, rundown, irritable, out of
sorts, fidgety and nervous. Head
aches, backaches, dragging-down
feelings, Irregularities and
troubles of that sort arc all de-
strcyers Of beauty. Men do not
admire sickness.

SIXTY MILLIONS
FOR FARMER AID
Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
Propose Immediate Loan from
Government Funds.

Washington. Dec. 2.-Immediate
loans of $6O.OO0,O00 from govern
ment funds to aid farmers in the
face of falling prices OF their pro-
ducts Is proposed by Senator Hitch
cock. Democrat, Nebraska. in bill
drawn today after conference with
Governor Harding of the federal re-
serve board. Senate" Hitchcock
plans to present the measure when
congress next meets.
The money which Senator Hitch
cock would have advanced to the
farmers is the governments share
In profits OF federal reserve banks
payable next month and which un-
der the law would be used to in
crease gold reserves or amortize
Liberty bonds.
Loans would be made through the
federal land banks on chattel
mortgages or warehouse receipts
with agricultural products or live
stock as security. Loans on grain
would be limited to six months and
those on livestock to one year.
This would be only drop in the
bucket toward meeting the enor-
NOUS needs of agriculturalists," said
Senator Hitchcock. but it would
have good effect beyond the actual
amount Of money made available. "
Opposition to the revival of the
war financial corporation was ex-
pressed today by Senator Edge of
New Jersey, member of the senate
committee on reconstruction. The
New Jersey s. ,lator declared he
would support no measure for re-
lief of the farmers which did not af-
lord relief for the other 80 per
cent of the population"
