Sees Taxation Reduced If
Congress Would Adopt
Expedient
ADVISE BUREAU CUT

Returning from a visit to Europe,
Representative Beck, of Pennsyl
vania, cited the fate of England"
as a reminder to the coming Con-
gress of the danger of strangling
prosperity by excessive taxation.
The deficit could be wiped out,
Beck said, if all unnecessary and
meddlesome government bureaus
were abolished and if Congress
would declare light wines and malt
ed liquors notwithstanding in fact
and impose a heavy exise tax upon
these luXuries.
"If we adopted this simple expe-
dient, we could easily cut the neces-
stiles of taxation by two billions of
dollars" the Republican added, say
ing there would then be no deficit,
but on the contrary, large sulplus;
business would be less burdened and
take heart, and the wheels of indus
try, now sunk in the mire of indus
trial prostration, would again
move"
The Pennsylvania approved the
plead of Representative Wood, of
Indiana, for reduced governmental
expenditures, but he could not see
why the Army and Navy should be
singled out as the sole source of
such economies"
Many of their functions, like river
and harbor work, he said, have be-
longed to the peace establishment of
the United States and are as val
liable as almost any work that the
Federal government does.
1T seems to me that in effecting
governmental economies more at
tention should be given to some of
the recently created departments of
the government which are honey
combed with bureaus which would
never be missed" he said. ''If can
judge from my personal contact with
one executive department of the gov
ernment, every department has many
employees, some of whom
do not average an hours work a
day.
while the causes of the present
worldwide depression are many,
yet the strangulation of prosperity
by the abuse of the taxing power is
the most fruitful.
Nowhere is this more strikingly
shown than in England where an
empire, once the greatest and
in recorded history, is
now on its knees financially, and
the pound sterling, once the ac-
knowledge standard of financial sta
bility, threatens to go the way of
the mark and the franc"

CountyAgent SmyderAdvises Farmers
To Plant Barley In Place Of Wheat
Says Many Farmers Haze Found This Crop A Good
Paying Substitute For Wheat Gives Planting In
strHctiOns To Secure The Best Possible Results

During the last few years, farm
ers in Sussex County have been de-
creasing their acreage of wheat and
substituting rye in it's place. Now
due to economic conditions of wheat
many farmers are looking for an
other grain crop that they may
grow instead of wheat. Winter bar
ley, may to a certain extent, solve
this problem. 1t is an excellent
grain feed for stock, being almost
the equal of corn, it produces more
pounds to the acre than wheat or
oats and makes a good paying crop
for dairymen and poultrymen.
Good seed is one of the first es-
sentials in barley culture. 1t means
a great deal more than merely seed
that will grow. To obtain such seed

One of the worst things about blackheads is that they often are forerunners of acne.
 Acne is that scourge of beauty lovers, a skin disease that mani- fests itself by pimples that are apt to group themselves into pinkish spiotches.
 One ofg the worst things about acne is that it is most prevalent during adolescence and is we'll calculated to defiate the ego of the youngster having it.
 It Is very important, in the first place, to realize that acne is quite a universal affliction, that it should not be taken too much to heart but should be taken seriously enough to do something about 1t.
 Do not use facial creams when you have acne, unless they are es- pecially recommended by your physician. Wash your face gently morning and night with warm wa ter and a pure soap and Q wash rag that will really cleanse your face. Wash 1t several times care- fully and thoroughly and rinse with cold water. This washing does much to help clear the face, for 1t gets superfuous fat out of the way.
 Watch yourself constantly to see that you do not finger your face absent mindedly. Soiled fingers can start infections on acne faces and even clean fingers can spread acne.
 If you have an exaggerated case of acne go to a physician, for 1t may be case of a clogged sys- tenn and you may need regular ex- ercises and diet to clean your sys- tenn thoroughly. Good beauty parlors have special treatments. also for acne.
 Last, but not least, in this treat ment of acne, be careful of make up. It is much better to go with a naked face and only rouged lips for a spell and have the pleasure of seeing acne clear up than to irri- tate @ sore face with rouge and powder.
