his opinions as to the business and
financial outlook and thoughts on the

thoritative expression of the policies of
the the United States government at the
present moment. Mr.. Houston was
asked by the writer to discuss various
phases OF. the credit furry and eco
nomic upheaval which America is ex-
periencing. Here are some of the sec
retarys thoughts as he penned them:
FIRST, there is no essential reason
why this nation should not continue
financially on sound and safe footing
Ihere is no presnt cause for alarm. 1t
IS important that we shall at no time
become alarmed or lose our heads
Panics are the result in part of un-
wholesome states of mind. When one
mas difficult situation to face, it is
essential that he keep himself we'll in
hand, but 1t is equally necessary that
ne look the facts Squarely in the face.
lndustrially, this nation is in funda-
mentally sound position, but there are
tendencies which must be controlled.
Undue credit expansion must not be
permitted. Further initiation must be
prevented. Many of our banks were
not in position they should hold at
the beginning OF the planting season.
II initiation continues, 1t will mean fur
ther increase of price, further demands
for wages, increased costs, unrest and
strikes. ~

ROUGE AND COSMETICS
INJURE GIRLS FACES
Beauty Comes From Inside,
Cannot Be Bought And
Smeared On, But Is
Sign Of Perfect
HeaItt.

Many women have often seriously
Injured their complexion by the
smearing OF creams, lotions and
strong cosmetics into the delicate
pores of the skin in a vain eiftrt to
become more beautiful and attrac
tive.
Beauty is more than skin deep,
and is the sign of pure blood and a
healthy body. The application OF
chemical compounds and sticky
creams and cosmetics to the skin is
more harmful than beneficial, as the
delicate pores become so clOgged
and irritated that the skin presents
more blotchy and disagreeable ap-
pearance than before
The simple effective way to have
clean attractive complexion and a
healthy color. is to purify the sys
tenn and blood by the use of the
modern scientific health remedy
known as "DriTonic." Get two
ounces of this harmless compound
from your druggist and mix it with
quart OF water. Then take two
tablespoonfuls of this agreeable tenn
pcrance tonic after each meal.
Cleanse the skin frequently by the
use of a good soap and pure water,
and i'll short time you will have a
new healthy skim with Il soft vel
Vety touch, and a permanent color
that requires no rouge or powder
"DriTonic" acts by eliminating all
impurities from the blood and sys-
tenn, and by promoting good diges-
ton and appetite, thus making the
body strong and healthy. 'Dri-Tonic"
is sold by all up to date druggists
under Il money-baek guarantee. 1t

| years, not one year but the same
amount for three years. We know
that the business men Of Martins
burg and those interested in the
civic and commercial betterment
of the city feel that $500 per year
membership for three years ia a
good investment Compare this
with the 800 membership fee
which the Farm Bureau asks OF
those who affiliate with it and one
begins to wonder how the farmers
organization has managed to exist
and to take an active part in 2
great many OF the progressive
movements which it has been sup
porting.
Labor Union Fees
Labor unions do not hesitate to
charge their members $500 init
alton fees and monthly dues more
than our annual membership fees
and they do not call strikes until
millions of dollars are available
The farmer Is not going to strike
or quit but he certainly ought to
be and is going to be heard
Y0ur Moral support
The farmers moral support is
more valuable than his member
ship fee. The Farm Bureau is his
organization and he should partic-
pate is its activity when possible.
TOO much Is expected for local far
mors to go to expense and take
time to solicit fees. The individual
could make an effort to pay his an
nual fees Upon notification, just as
he pays his paper subscription or
his credit accounts. Every farmer
in Berkeley county has duty to
perform in supporting this move
ment. 1t should be more than that,
FOR he should give it his active
support.
\ plan IS being formulated where
by membership in the Farm Bur
eau will mean a membership for
all time. In such case the members
dues will be payable at the begin
ming of each membership year,
either July LIST or January LIST. In
this connection, the executive
council will work out a plan which
will permit of all members whose
memberships have continued here
tofore from July list Of each year
to June 31st of the next year, to
continue their subscriptions on this
basis. At the same time, members
whose subscriptions are received
on or about the first of January
each year will be paid UP until
January 1st one year later.

Take a glass of Salts to flush out

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder,
where it often remains 20 irEi.ate and
infame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation
at the neck OF the bladder, ohligng
you to seek relief two or three times
during the night. The sufferer is in
constant dread, the water passes some
times with a scalding sensation and is
very profusc; again, there is difficulty
in avoiding it,
Bladder weakness. most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and
sometimes very painful, this is really
one of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces Of
lad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days This will

WASHINGTON
At the Motion Picture Day and
carnival of outdoor sports held in Los
Angeles recently, for the benefit of
the Actors Fund of America, Clara
Kimball Young was awarded the big
silver trophy cup as the queen of
beauty.
Miss Young was in competition with
practically all Of the motion picture
stars of Southern California, and the
award to her was both instant and
popular
Other great features of the day were
automobile races driven by famous
motion picture stars, in which Tom
Mix won the Pacific Coast Amateur
Championship under the rules of the
Automobile Association of America,
setting up a record of considerably
better than a mile a minute over the
twenty-five-mile course at the Ascot
Speedway, while Donald Crisp, Lam

off trophy cups.
Miss Young Is in Southern Califor-
