Cotton Acreage Bill Put to Sleep

Texas house lawmakers put to sleep, by a vote of
II to A, a bill by Rep j. E. Mcdonald of Ellis county
and signed by 80 others, providing for a commission
to determine the maximum percentage of each farm
in Texas which might be planted in cotton each year.
In other words, the majority bludgeoned the prin-
cipie of cotton acreage control.
Rep. Snelgroye of Henderson county declared any
limitation upon southern cotton growers would
strengthen the position Of foreign growers in the
markets of the world.
Over-production in the cotton belt Of the south
invites lean purses and disaster. MISREPRESENTATION in
past years has resulted in fat purses and high pur-
chasing power for the growers Of the fleecy staple.

Health and Right Living
BY ROYAL 5. COPELAN0, wi. ID.
Former Commissioner of Health

1t is hardly more than a century
ago that the citizen of Boston was
not permitted to take two baths a
week without a doctors order.
In Philadelphia then, it was
against the law to have a private
bathtub without holding a special
permit.
A thing that holds the attention
Of a visitor to any Of the old cas-
ties and palaces Of Europe Is that
no provision was made for bathing.
Taking a bath in olden times was
something Of a domestic ordeal. It
upset the discipline Of the entire
retinue Of servants.
Today In some foreign lands it
requires an order in advance to get
the water into n Of those great
marble tubs. 1t is filled from basins
carried by hand. / shall never for
get the stitches of laughter caused
by the description given by a doc
tor friend Of mine Of his experiences
in getting a bath in a distant coun-
try.
Saturday night bathing continues
to be a custom in many parts Of
America. You recall the old Joke Of
the man who could hardly wait till
Saturday to try his new bathtub!
I think often Of the hard lot Of the
pioneer women. They had to endure
everything their husbands did and
besides that had to put up with the
pioneer men!
Cleanliness Is a matter Of the
greatest importance. Not only the
exposed portions Of the body, but
every part should be submitted to
through and frequent cleansing.
1t takes scrubbing. as well as soap
and water, to take the dirt from the
skin. It is not at all unusual to OBJ
serve a dirty neck. The cheeks and
forehead of that person may shine
from efforts at cleaSing, but behind
the ears there will be a months &C
emulation OF dirt.
There cannot be perfect health
without a perfect functioning skin.
The skin cannot play its part unless
it is thoroughly clean. That Is the
first essential.
Select a good soap, one that agrees
with your skin; apply it with a clean
wash cloth. Then with an abundance
Of water you may hope to give
yourself real cleanliness.
/ am more and more impressed
with the htuoght that we really
neglect the skin. Half the time
certainly the irritations Of the face
and necks are founded on lack Of
cieanlinenSS.

Stubborn Coughs
Ended by Recipe,
Mixed at Home

Here is the famous old recipe which
millions of housewives have found to
be the most dependable means of break
ing up a stubborn, lingering cough. 1t
takes but a moment to prepare and
costs little, but it gives real relief even
for those dreaded coughs that follow
severe cold epidemics.
From any druggist, get 213 ounces Of
Pinex, pour it into pint bottle and fill
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. Thus you make
full pint of better remedy than you
could buy ready-made for three times
the cost. 1t never spoils and tastes so
good that even children like it.
Not only does this simple mixture
soothe and heal the inflamed throat
membranes with surprising ease, but
also it is absorbed into the blood, and
acts directly upon the bronchial tubes,
thus aiding the whole system in throw
ing Oft the cough. 1t loosens the germ
laden phlegm and eases chest soreness
IN a way that is really astonishing.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com.
pound OF genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creosote, in
a refined, palatable form. Nothing
known In medicine is more helpful in
cases OF distressing coughs, chest colds,
and bronchial troubles.
DO not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It IS guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.

said that agriculture was on the
Threshold of a new era. He was
addressing the elevent annual con-
vention of the federation at the

diaries must be ignored in consid-
ering the problem. eve no longer
can think in terms Of the states" he
said, "since communication and
transportation have knit every sec
ton of the country together SO
closely.
Things are being done which
will soon place agriculture on an
equality economically with other
industries. but the credit situation
is unsatisfactory" he said
1T must be strengthened so that
it can meet the requirements more

pared amendments to the rural
credit act. passage of which by con-
gress would provide a way for a
more adequate system of agricuI-
tural finance. Now that the United
States had declared a policy for
agriculture, it is doubly necessary to
obtain financial program adequate
to meet the expanded program for
this industry. The agriculture chat
we now build must be one of per-
manence."
Thompson said any reduction in
farm taxes must be sought through
readjustment tending to spread the
tax burden equally over all classes,
rather than through reduction in
public expenditures"
He expressed a belief that the

will have an immediate effect on
