LOWDEN RECEIPTS
 T07ALED S4,700
Expenditures Are 'Litde Less
 Than S@,Mo"
EX-GOVERNOR ON STAND

Tells Senate Committee That He
 Can See No Future For American
 Republic of Agriculture and
 Farming Decays.
 Washington, May 14 R)-Frank o. Lowden. appearing as witness be- fore the senate campaign funds committee. testified today that his receipts were S64,7OO and expendi- lures "a little less than 36O.000."
 No Agreement
 The former governor of Illinois said he had authorized no agree ment with other republian presiden. tial candidates, and that he had no. been . party to propaganda against them. Asked speciflaiiy If 1t were true that there was an understand ing that the Lowden strength would be swung to Vice President Dawes his close friend. in the event Low den could not obtain the nomination, the witness said there was no such plan. He added that 1t had not been even remotely discussed by him.
 Lowdcn agreed with Senator Dale. republican. of Vermont. when 1t was suggested that the talk about such an agreement might be attributed to the fact that the witness and Dawes had similar views on the agricultur- al question.
 Agriculture Doomed |.
 Near the close of his testimony. Lowden said that agriculture was doomed unless 1t could be restored to it's proper parity.
 "I can't see a bright future for tho American republic if agriculture is permitted to decay" he said. "So long as that cause exists of course, I'll stand for it."
 Before he began testifying Low den was introduced to the members of the committee and shook hands with them.
 The former governor of Illinois said his receipts totalled $64.70O. His personal books showed he had $12.b00 to advance his own cause. although he said Clar- ence F. Buck. acting as his cam- paign manager. had informed him the contribution was really $15,0Oo.
 This discrepancy would be out, he declared. when he could examine his accounts. Low den said the greater port of the fund had been contributed by two old friends-Omer N. Custer of H.. and Robert D. Clark of Los Angeles, former resident Of Illinois, These two, with Buck, who is a former state senator of Illinois, had been attempting to line up dele gates for him.
 "There is | voluntary organtza- ton in New York" Lowden con- "They did not even ask my consent. Az you gentlemen know. ] have not been active. have not even made a political speech. though have been urged to do so."
 Saw Buck Friday
 The witness said he saw Buck last Friday and received from him a statement of receipts and expen- ditures down to that time.
 "The receipts were s64.700." he said. and expenditures were q lit tie less than sso,ooo. He thinks they have enough for the remainder of the campaign. He says l have t15.ooO. but my books show only s12.5oo and have not been able to straighten out the 
 II think Custer and Clark have given the largest part of the total amount.
 At the outset. I adopted the policy that we would not set up in any state unless the republicans of the states were sufficiently aggressive for me to go ahead and conduct the campaign.

The Sidewalks of Washington
BY THORNTON FISHER.

The Patent once is at once the
graveyard Of hopes and the inspiration
of those inventively minded persons
who ceaselessly dream of fame and
riches. Scores of local patent attorneys
and their assistants are employed by
embryo Edisons and Westinghouse to
search the archives of the Patent Office
and there they may be seen daily scam
ming the records.
Quite frequently, the inventor himself
visits the historic old structure in the
vain hope that he will find the rain
bows end and only too often discovers
to his distress that somebody beat him
to an idea.
We ran across Just such one in
local hotel recently. He had spent
lifetime and a fortune in the pursuit of
a vision. His last few dollars went to a
railroad company for fare. He is broke
and disillusioned.
Perhaps made mistake as youth
by not confirming my activities to a more
lucrative and steady means of earning
livelihood, said he sadly, but like the
theatrical profession, once man is Bit
ten by the bug, he seldom renounceS the
game.
1T is disheartening to find that thou
sands of people have devoted thought to
some gimcrack that you yourself have
worked on for years. I have borrowed
money from faithful friends who had
confidence in my devices, and here
learn that my efforts have been fruit
less.
zone reads of the fortunes made by
inventors and it attracts the average
man. For example, the person who de-
signed the pencil used to autograph
films is said to have received fortune
from the manufacturers of certain
camera. Another man received mil
lion dollars for a machine devised for
the self -taking of pictures Immediately
there leap up all over the country young
and old people who seek the road to
wealth by the same method.
Hope, they say, springs eternal In
the human breast, but it is well not to
be too sanguine if ore is not to be dis
appointed. I know a family which for

dry and pat on a healing salve like zinc
ointment. Use the same precautions
when removing blackheads. The brown
marks are the result of bruising the
skin. Apply the ointment to the scars
you already have and leave it on over
night every night until the blemishes
are gone, but be careful not to make
any more scars. (2) You have almost
10 years of possible growth before you,
so do not despair of becoming taller.
Make it a habit to hold your figure as
tall as you can, with abdomen in and
chin level Avoid slouching postures.
Stretching exercises will help you II not
overdone. Stand erect with hands on
shoulders, elbows bent. Fling arms up
as high as possible. Bend and stretch
arms alternately 20 times. If you
have access to a gymnasium, practice
travelling on the boom or bar with
weight swinging from your hands, body
suspended in the air. Tennis and SWIM
ming are good exercises for you. Any
thing that will contribute to your health
will help you grow. Your thigh is a
little large. but the other measure
ments are good. LOIS LEEDS.

but about three or four days afterward
it becomes dark and oily. How can I
prevent this? I shampoo my hair once

Answer-D Brush your hair straight
back so that you may see the two
corners" of your forehead above your
temples. Make two parts in your hair
beginning at these two corners. This
divides your front hair into three sec
tions, center piece and two side
pieces. Have the center piece rather
short, brush it to the left and arrange
the ends to curl up on the left side of
the forehead and left temple. Brush
the side hair back over the top of the
ears, then forward in curl on each
cheek. Your weight is good. You for

Yeast extracts are flavoring extracts
(put out under various trade nameS)
which are made from yeast. These are
used for flavoring soups, sauces and
vegetables, and they taste like mush-
rooms and are very delicious. I recon-
mend them because they are very high
in yftamin B, the anti-neuritic Vitamin
And to those who have to limit theiI
calories because a teaspoonfui OF the
extract with a cup of hot water makes
a delectable broth and counts so low IN

Varicose Veins.
Mrs. P.-Varicose veins are due to
weakness in the walls and valves OF the
veins. They may be due to any pres
sure above which causes the blood to
dam back slightly, such as by garters
or tight belts, and constipation (thiE
latter causes varicose veins or hemor-
rhoidS in the rectum). Overweight
long standing and lack of exercise are
factors.
If the veins are prominent enough
to be disfiguring, they can be removed
surgically. Recently there has been
developed a method of injecting SUBJ
stances into the veins which cause
them to close up. This has been quite
successful in the hands of some sur
geons, but it Is not yet in general use

JUST RINSE OUT
(DON'T SCRUB YOUR
GARBAGE PALS
10 SECONDS ALL TIME
NECESSARY
New Way Cleans and Disin-
fects Instantly-Surely

Household experts now recon-
mend new simple way to cleanse
and purify garbage pals and cans.
This hardest of all household duties
can now be finished in ten seconds
without securing or scrubbing.
Just do this. For every quart Of
cleaning water you put in the gar
bage pail or can, add one table
spoonful of Red Seal Lye. Swash
with a long-handled mop for a mo-
ment, then empty. Rinse if you
wish. The pail or can will be
cleansed, disinfected, purified. No
securing or scrubbing whatsoever.
Red Seal Lye is necessary be-
cause this is the strongest and most
effective. Red Seal Lye is 979o pure
lye, the fastest acting, strongest
and purest made. It melts grease,
muck, animal and vegetable matter
like snow from hot stove.
Note: Much of the odor and stick
mess which attract flies to garbage
pals will be't minated If each day
you shake a b tie of this same Red
Seal Lye on sne refuse in the can.
Red Seal Lye is so strong and pure
it will retard fermentation of ref
use and the formation OF acids
which attack and rust the pail.
Make up your mind you will
never scrub another garbage pail.
Write down "Red Seal Lye" on
your grocery list now, while you
are thinking about it.

Answer-U The best remedy for
these scars is not to incur them in the
first place by careless handling of the
blackheads and pimples. The latter
when ripe should be pricked with a
sterilized needle and the pus very
gently pressed out without bruising the
surrounding skin. Cover your fingers
with clean gauze or a clean handker-
chief when pressing out the matter so
that your nails will not cut the skin.
