No epidemtcs Of consequence have
struck the United States during the
year, and health departments con-
tinue to speak about the healthful-
more medicinal whisky is being used
than was beverage whisky, figures
of the internal revenue department
in Kentucky show.
Beginning in August, 1919, when
all internal revenue districts OF the
state were consolidated, the with
drawals for Kentucky show the fol-
lowing growth:
August 1919, 9O4 gallons were
October, 3,155; November, 1855 and
December, 1868. The high tide Of
expectation was reached during De-
cember when 1,056,268 gallons were
taken out of warehouses for eXpor-
tation.
However, 1920 shows how whisky
improved" as a medicine. During

total of 3,217,209 gallons for nine
months.
According to a report issued in
Washington, four times as much

1919.
Tho large Withdrawals have
alarmed both the prohibition author
tiles and legitimate dealers of
whisky. 1t is said that national as

drastic measures might be taken by
prohibition officials to prevent such
enormous Withdrawals, have signi-
fled their intention to assist enforce

tee in connection with the proposal
to re-establish the war finance cor
poration and utilize it's revolving
fund for the encouragement of eX-
porting. At recent treasury depart
ment Conferences with representa-
tiVes of the National Farmers union
and other organizations, Secretary
Houston said he was opposed to the
rejuvenation of the finance corpora
ton. Among reasons given by him
in opposition was one that the char
acter of European securities which
may be offered could not be accept
able to the finance corporation.
Furthermore, he said, this corpora
ton was created to aid exporting in
event of some unusual depression.
He insisted that exporting was TAX
ing care of itself quite well, and that
farm exports were increasing rather
than diminishing.
President Charles S. Barrett, Of the
Farmers union, and other farm as
ISOLATION heads, have announced their
intention of going to the mat with
the treasury department and congress
over extension of rural credits. Head

The producers claim that their crops

materials and fertilizers, made the
costs of their crops excessive, and
they cannot be sold at the present
market prices.

Scientist Weighs Kiss
And Analyses Reasons
For Practicing Habf

PARIS, France.-In a thirty-three.
page treatise Prof. Edouard Male
spine, one of Frances most learned
savants, describes, analyses and dis
sects the kiss. He even weighs 1t.
In the latter effort he arrives at
the conclusion that persons kiss on
the lips from habit.
To excite the same sensations, he
affirms, 1t is necessary to impress a
kiss equal to the weight Of two mil
ligrams on the forehead. temples,
nose and cheeks, three milligrams on
the palm of the hand, five milligrams
on the lips or eyelids and fifteen mil.

"the kiss may be a sign of love or
merely friendship. But with the yell
low peoples the kiss is reserved to
lovers or man and wife"

CURED art and unknown in many
lands. He adds:

SENATORS MOVE
TO SATISFY PLEAS
OF THE FARMERS

623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILIER

WASHINGTON, Dec. Impressed
by the insistent demand Of agricul-
ture that legislative relief be extend
ed the farmers in the present era OF
falling prices for their products,
members of the senate committee on
agriculture who have arrived in
Washington and held formal confer
ences have agreed upon a tentative
program. The senators attending
the conferences decided to call in
members of the house committee on
agriculture and exchange views
Thursday afternoon. Friday, there
is to be a conference here of repre-
sentatives of farmers organizations
1t was said to be the consensus of
opinion among the senators holding
the meeting that four things at least
are necessary to eXtricate the farmer
from his present difficulties and open
countries. The suggested program
is as follows:
Early establishment of peace; re-
establishment of the war finance cor
poratiOn, which has been imperative
for many months; extension through
the war finance corporation of some
form of credit to foreign countries,
SO tnat tney may make purchases OF
American farm products; supplement
tary credits legislation to broaden
the present finance system and make
possible, specifically, loans on accept
table collateral instead of loans on
land alone, which, it was suggested
are of no use to many farmers who
are tenant Or not large property
owners.
Senator'S Kenyon, Norris, Kellogg,
Wadsworth, Kendrick and Harrison
attended the informal meeting of the
senate committee. The farm credits
situation was discussed for an hour
from their constituencies, exchanged
first-hand reports of the discomfort
of the farming classes and their
present financial embarra ssment.
