How Wrinkles Are
Caused-and Removed

Wrinkles are caused by the skin becom-
ing loose. Obviously the remedy is to tight
en- the skin. Equally it is obvious that the
only thing which will tighten the skin is a
good astringent application.
Now, it is well known that the only ef-
fective astringent which is at the same time
perfectly harmless and beneficial as we'll, is
pure powdered sa1olite. obtsinabIe from any
druggist. Dissolve one ounce in a half pint
Of witch hazel. Battle the face in this re-
freshing lotion and-behold! The result is
almost magical The skin becomes firm and
smooth. the face feels smug. comfortable
and solid, instead Of loose and nabby.
One should be careful to use no other
sstringent than pure saxolite.-Adv.

against typhus and other European
plaques was viewed most seriously
by oficials OF the Pubic Health
Service here Thursday.
DIR. Hugh s. Cumming. Surgeon
GencI al of the U. S. Public Health
Service, said he believed NJ Da-
visions warning in many leIects
was rather understood II an exag-

turned to Washington after a two
years first-hand study of the plague
situation in Central Europe, and
confirmed in practically every in
stance Mr.. Davison's report that il
was the greatest danger since the
Deluge."
So serious has the situation be-
come that DIR. Rupert Blue, former
Surgeon General. left here yester-
day for England. where he will be
the American representative at
meetings to be held in London un-
der the direction of allied govern
ments to devise ways and means
or checking the growing epidemics
or typhus and bubonic plague rayae-
ing Europe. DR.. Blues particular
mission will be to ascertain the most
effective means OF preventing a
spread OF these diseases to the
United States. At this conference
medical representatives of thirty
seven nations will be in attendance

DR.. Blue. it was said yesterday,
Will make a personal study of the
entire plague situation in Europe,
and will keep the Public Health
Service advised of any new out
breaks. and whether ships sailing
for American ports are taking car
goes or carrying passengers from
the disease-infested areas BY this
means ii is hoped an effective check
Will be maintained, whereby Amer
lean port quarantine authorities
will be always on their guard
against tpIueHllC diseases.
DR.. Cumming explained that the
principal difficulty encountered in
lighting these epidemics on the
ground in Europe was the inclina-
ton of certain governments to sup
press, rather than make public, sta
tistics regarding them.
This is where the grave danger
TO ourselves may arise" said Dr.
Cumming. 81 remember that very
recently. when I was in a certain
city of Southern France, which is
one OF the best known ports of the
world, there were twenty-six cases
of bubonic plague, and no one but
a few officials knew anything about
it. Ships were leaving this port al
most every day for all parts OF the
world, carrying no warning what
ever that they might be carrying
infected cargoes or passengers.
Revision of Laws Needed.
AT the conference in London
which former Surg. Gen. Blue will
attend. a vigorous effort will be
made to bring about a revision of
laws which will make il impossible
to cover up these vital facts.

-
voice in governmental administration
has been practically ignored, and at
times the farmer has suffered griev-
ously as result. The farmer has a
vital interest in our trade relations
with other countries, in the admins
tration Of our financial policies and IN
many Of the larger activities Of the
government.
Second.-The right Of farmers to
form cooperative associations for the
marketing of their products must be
granted. The parasite in distribution
who preys on both producer and con-
sumner must no longer sap the vitality
Of this fundamental life.
Scientific Study.
Third. - The Republican party
pledges itself to a scientific study Of
agricultural prices and farm produc-
ton costs, both at home and abroad,
with a View to reducing the frequency
OF abnormal fluctuations here, Stabili-
zation will contribute to everybody's
confidence. Farmers have complained
bitterly of the frequent and violent
fluctuations In prices Of farm products.
and especially in prices of live stock.
They do not find such fluctuations in
the products of other industries. In a
general way prices Of farm products
must go up or down, according to
whether there is plentiful crop or
short one. The farmers raw materials
are the fertility of the soil, the sun
shine and the rain, and the size of his
crops is measured by the supply of
these raw materials and the skill with
which he makes use Of them. He can
not control his production and adjust
1t to the demand as can the manufac-
turer But he can see no good reason
why the prices of his products should
fuctuate so violently from week to
week and sometimes from day to day:
To Stop Price Fixing.
Fourth.-We promise to put an end
to unnecessary price fixing of farm
products and to III considered efforts
arbitrarily to reduce farm product
prices.
Government drives against food
prices such as we have experienced
during the past two years are vain and
useless. The ostensible purpose Of
such drives is to reduce the price the
consumer pays for food. The actual
result is unjustly to depress for a time
the prices the farmer receives for his
grain and live stock, but with no ap-
preciable reduction in the price the
consumer pays. Such drives simply
give the Spectator and the profiteer
additional opportunities to add to
their exactions.
Flfth.-We favor the administration
OF the farm loan act so az to help mon
who farm to secure farms of. their own
and to give to them long time credits,
needed to practice the best methods Of
diversified farming.
We also favor the authorization Of
associations to provide the necessary
machinery to furnish personal credit
to the man, whether land owner or
tenant, who is hampered for lack of
working canital. Unfortunately as
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1920-09-30
land INCREASES In valEe renap.y aIso
increases
An Increasing EVIL.


This has been true throughout his
tory. At the present time probably
one-half Of the high priced land In the
corn belt states is farmed by men who,
because of lack of capital, find it nee
esSary to rent This increase in ten
ancy brings with it evils which are
real menace to national welfare. The
tenant who lacks sufficient working
capital and who too often is working
under short time lease is forced to
farm the land to the limit and rob it of
its fertility in order to pay the rent
Amid such conditions we have ineffi-
cient schools, broken down churches
and sadly limited social life. We
should therefore concern ourselves not
only in helping men to secure farms
of their own and in helping the tenant
secure the working capital he needs to
carry on the best methods Of diversi-
fled farming, but we should work out
q system of land leasing which, while
doing full justice to both landlord and
tenant, will at the same time conserve
the fertility Of the soil.
Transportation Systems.
Sixth.-We do not longer recoonIze
the right to speculative profit in the
operation Of our transportation sys.
TENS, but we are pledged to restore
them to the highest state Of efficiency
as quickly as possible. Agriculture has
suffered more severely than any other
industry through the inefficient rail-
road service of the last two years.
Many farmers have incurred disas-
trous losses through inability to mar
ket their grain and live stock. Such a
condition must not be permitted to
continue. We must bring about con-
ditions which will give us prompt serv-
ice at the lowest possible rates.
Seventh.-We are pledged to the re-
vision Of the tariff as soon as condi-
tons shall make 1t necessary for the
preservation Of the home market for
American labor, American agriculture
and American industry. If we are to
build up self sustaining agriculture
here at home the farmer must be pro-
tected from unfair competition from
those countries where agriculture Is
still being exploited and where the
standards of living on the farm are
much lower than here. We have asked
for higher American standards; let us
maintain them.
So long as America can produce the
foods we need l am in favor Of buying
from America first.
Fewer Land Hogs.
Under a sound system Of agricul-
ture, fostered and safeguarded by wise
and fair administration of state and
federal government, the farmers of the
United States can feed our people for
inhnAnttnl,,
Farming Is not an auxiliary; it is the
main plant, and geared with il, insep-
arably, is every wheel of transporta-
ton and industry. America could not
90 on with a dissatisfied farming peo-
pie, and no nation is secure where land
