MAN T’ HEP IM"
FOR AND ABOUT WOMEN.
DAILY THOUGHT.
It will not make your heart any whiter
to try to blacken the character of some
one else,
What about colors? Conventional
brown is loosening its grip on frocks
and jackets, but it appears in straw
millinery. Bright rust brown with
much red in it is the new shade.
Green is amazingly popular in the
French almond shade, in deep Chinese
jade, in bright apple. An admirable
new straw hat is of green Milan straw
with high, wide crown and mushroom
brim covered with chicken feathers
shading from green to tan, the brown
tones predominating. Its brim is
edged with gold and green ribbon.
There is an amazing amount of dec-
oration at the edge of hat brims. We
have not indulged in such frivolity
during the winter, so the idea strikes
us as something delightful in mid-
chanel. Ruchings of tiny ribbon of
tinsel, of metallic braid, are used to
give glitter to gilt or straw. In these
red and silver is a likable, combina-
tion, also rust and pink, gold and Ital-
ian blue. Often these metallic braids
and ribbons are run across the crown,
cuting it into four parts.
When the American woman partic-
ularly likes a fashion she knows every
sign of obstinacy at a suggestion of
change. The revival of the straight-
line frock and uncovered arms is one
that proves this statement. The re-
tention of the felt helmet hat is anoth-
er. She liked this hat because it gave
her comfort. She could pull it on over
any kind of coiffure, it withstood wind
and weather, it was suitable for any
costume until the clock struck seven.
She had no inteention of releasing it,
therefore.
Down in Florida it dots the beach-
es. It is of white felt worn with white
flannel jumper blouses and one-piece
frocks. It rarely carries a color.
There may be a sport handkerchief of
Oriental chiffon tied around the base
of the crown, but every woman ap-
proaches this fashion with the idea
that it will ‘soon be finished. That's
why they are carelessly tied, not at-
tached.
With the white felt and flannel
frocks a dash of red is given by a
lacquer leather belt or a red handker-
chief tied around the normal waist,
not the hips, or a red ribbon band
pleated about the crown of the hat.
Straw follows felt in helmets to
show that milliners intend to continue
the fashion into hot weather. One of
the tricks of trimming which women
may like to know is the placement of
a colored worsted sport belt around
the straw helmet hat; these belts were
launched at’Christmas for Palm Beach
gowns. They are made from several
strands of wool in several colors held
together by a sturdy medallion of
knitted wool, the strands loosely tied
together at their ends. They are worn
with sport frocks instead of leather
and ribbon belts.
They are now tied around helmet
hats as substitutes for the bandanna
handkerchief. | A hat of green straw
has the belt of worsted strands mixed
with silver tinsel thread. It goes with
a gown of white flannel which has
three muslin collars, each edged with
tinsel. A pair of green and white kid
oxford ties gives further snap to the
costume. These high slippers, you
may know, have cut-out work over the
instep and broad laces in the color of
the kid.
A helmet hat which American wom-
en bring from Europe is interesting.
It has more of an air than our helmet
with the visored brim. Its brim is
stiff, almost straight as one on a sail-
or hat, tilting front and back ever so
slightly. Its edge is turned back on
itself for a quarter of an inch and
pressed flat into position. Whether
or not it is ornamental is a question of
preference. European women use a
crown band of ribbed ribbon for sports
and a shower of irridescent cock’s
plumes in the afternoon.
The hat brim of early autumn was
cut away to permit the passage of a
fur collar over the back of neck, but
the fashion will continue after fur col-
lars disappear. There is not much
hair to show in the back, but the line
is good. Sometimes the brim is rolled
up on itself like a tea wafer. Again
it is sharply cut away to the edge of
the crown and finished with a binding
or a wide bow of ribbon or tinsel braid
and galloon. The lack of brim at back
gives emphasis to the forward tilt in
front. It also keeps a woman from
looking as though some one had hit
her with an axe.
When a moderate-sized hat brim ex-
tends downward over the neck most
women © look their worst. Only an
amazing beauty can stand an immense
hat brim swooping down over the
shoulders. No woman should tolerate
a three-inch brim dragging into the
end of her neck, but most of us do.
We gain in grace, therefore, by cut-
ting the brims sharply off at back.
A new frock is an absolute necessi-
ty at this time of the year. One’s win-
ter things are quite passe and it is a
bit too soon to don the spring suit no
matter how smart it may be. The
thing to purchase now is a stunning
frock of printed crepe; it is the very
latest as far as fashion is concerned
and so alluringly becoming.
The winter hat is entirely a thing
of the past these days. Now to be in
the swim one must wear a chic little
turban toque or one of the new cap
hats of silk and straw. They are re-
ally the nicest sort of things for win-
dy March weather and with a neat veil
one is sure to look always trim and
smart:
I wonder how many needlework lov-
ers have seen the latest in embroidery
ideas? It is a Mosaic work, and while
being most effective it is easily done,
as it is simply a combination of cross
stitch and over and over embroidery
done usually in a pleasant shade of
blue on white Belgian linen. One can
find all sorts of charming pieces
stamped for this work, on the nicest
of linen. There are bridge sets, a reg-
ular luncheon set of five pieces and
big round cover in thirty-two inch
s1ze.
THE AGRICULTURAL CREDITS
ACT OF 1923.
Statement by the Secretary of Agriculture
Henry C. Wallace.
On the last day it was in session
Congress enacted the Agricultural
Credits Act. This act is designed to
give the farmer the sort of credit he
needs to produce efficiently and mar-
ket in an orderly way the products of
the farm. It is an effort by Congress
to meet a need which has been felt for
at least fifty years. The act may not
be perfect. Quite possibly experience
will show the need of amendments
from time to time. But it furnishes
the basis for a system of intermediate
credit adapted to farm conditions and
farm needs. Also it should bring
about a reduction in the interest which
{armers must pay for money borrow-
ed.
The act is divided into two parts.
In the first, it provides government
agencies for handling agricultural
loans. In the second it authorizes the
organization of private agencies un-
der government supervision for mak-
ing loans on live-stock security and on
farm commodities on the way to mar-
et.
The government loan activities will
be carried on in connection with the
Federal land banks. At the present
time the country is divided into twelve
districts, and in each of these districts
there is a Federal land bank which
makes land mortgage loans, these
twelve banks being directed by a cen-
tral Federal Farm Loan Bureau in
Washington. In connection with each
of these land banks there is to be es-
tablished an intermediate credit bank,
located in the same city with the land
bank and under the supervision of the
officers and directors of the land bank.
The Federal government supplies each
of these intermediate credit banks
with a capital of not to exceed $5,-
000,000. These intermediate credit
banks are authorized to discount far-
mers’ notes which have been taken by
banks and other financial institutions,
and then can carry such notes for a
term of from six months to three
years. The banks may also loan di-
rect to farmers’ co-operative associ-
ations under conditions set forth in
the act.
These intermediate credit banks
may issue debentures which will have
back of them the farmers’ notes which
the banks have taken. The idea is that
these debentures may be sold to peo-
ple who wish a safe investment. They
are exempt. The interest charged by
the intermediate credit banks may not
exceed by more than one per cent. the
interest paid on the debentures is-
sued, and the farmer who borrows
must not be charged an interest rate
of more than one and one-half per
cent. above the interest charged by
the intermediate credit bank.
No doubt some time will be requir-
ed to get this machinery in smooth
working order. It will be just like
building up a new business. It should
not be very long, however, until the
benefits will be apparent and the far-
mer will find that he can borrow need-
ed capital for a period up to three
years without having to pay an unduly
high interest rate, without having to
renew his notes every ninety days or
six months, and without being in dan-
ger of having to sacrifice his crops or
live stock because of a sudden finan-
cial flurry.
The second division of the act au-
thorizes the organization, under a
Federal charter, of national agricul-
tural credit corporations, these to be
organized by private capital. They
will be under the supervision of the
Comptroller of the Currency, just as
are other national banking institu-
tions. They must have a capital stock
of at least $250,000. They may issue
collateral trust debentures up to ten
times their capital and surplus. Such
corporations will probably be organ-
ized in the Western States where the
live stock industry is important and
where now cattle loan companies are
in operation.
“In addition to the provisions of the
act designed to furnish the farmer
much needed intermediate credit, cer-
tain changes have been made iin the
law under which the Federal land
banks operate and in the Federal Re-
serve Act. Provision for the tstab-
lishment of the so-called permanent
organization of the twelve Federal
land banks is made by providing that
three out of the seven directors for
each bank are to be elected by the
borrowers from the bank and three
are to be appointed by the Federal
Farm Loan Bureau. The seventh di-
rector, who will be the president of
the board, will be chosen from three
persons who have received the high-
est nomination vote for this position
by the borrowers or stockholders in
the bank.
Heretofore the maximum amount

Not Due to Sex Alone
Bellefonte Women Have Learned the
Cause of Many Mysterious Pains
and Aches.
Many women have come to know
that sex isn’t the reason for all back-
aches, dizzy headaches and urinary
disorders. Men have these troubles,
too, and often they come from kidney
weakness. To live simply, eat spar-
ingly, take better care of one’s self,
to use Doan’s Kidney Pills, is bound
to help bad kidneys get better. There
is no other remedy so well-recom-
mended by Bellefonte people. Ask
your neighbor!
Mrs. E. E. Ardery, Reynolds Ave.,
Bellefonte, says: “I have used Doan’s
Kidney Pills off and on for some time !
whenever my kidneys have troubled
me and they have never failed to help
me. My kidneys were weak and out
of order and my back ached. I be-
came run down, too. Doan’s Kidney
Pills from Runkle’s drug store, have
always relieved these attacks and
strengthened my back and kidneys.”

| toona, and Mrs.
which might be loaned to any individ-
ual by the Federal land banks has
been $10,000. This has been increased
to $25,000. Also the purpose for
which mortgage loans may be made
has been broadened to include the re-
payment of any existing indebtedness.
The Federal Reserve Act is amend-
ed by broadening the definition of
what is called agricultural paper,
making it include the grading and pro-
cessing of agricultural products by co-
operative marketing associations.
Heretofore the Federal Reserve Banks
have not been permitted to discount
agricultural paper for a longer per-
iod than six months. This period has
been increased to nine months.
A large number of State banks are
not now members of the Federal Re-
serve System, some of them because
their capital is not large enough to
meet the requirements of the law. An
amendment to the Federal Reserve
Act is carried in this bill designed to
encourage small banks to join the sys-
tem. A bank which has capital equal
only to sixty per cent. of the capital
required of national banks may now
be admitted, if within a reasonable
time the capital will be increased to
correspond with the capital required of
national banks.
The life of the War Finance Cor-
poration is extended up to February
29, 1924, the expectation being that
by that date the new credit facilities
provided for under this agricultural
credits act will be sufficient to meet
the needs.
This Agricultural Credits Act of
1923 is one of the most important acts
passed by the last Congress. It
marks an earnest effort to provide the
farmer with the sort of credit he must
have to carry on efficiently. It is not
class legislation. The results will be
helpful to business in general, because
the effect will be to stabilize agricul-
tural production and marketing.

Death-Watch Beetle Found in Import-
ed Wicker-Ware Objects in
Pennsylvania.
A new species of the “Death-watch”
beetle has been introduced in Penn-
sylvania during the past several
weeks, being brought into the State
in wicker-ware imported from abroad.
The death-watch beetle, so called be-
cause of the steady tapping sound,
made by the worm of the beetle while
at work, infests wicker-ware baskets,
wicker-ware lamps and other similar
objects. The beetle will not live when
removed from the particular kind of
wood on which it is accustomed to
feed.
The beetle is reddish brown in color,
about three-tenths of an inch long. It
is the worm that does the damage, the
beetle being comparatively harmless.
The worm, however, bores rapidly
through the wood and soon destroys
the article on which it is working.
To control the beetle soak the in-
fested object in gasoline or place it in
an oven and raise the temperature to
150 degrees, keeping the object there
for half an hour. Its presence may
readily be determined by the steady
“tap-tap” of the worm while eating
through the wood.

Embryo : Teachers Train.
A large number of the teachers of
vocational agriculture in the State are
supplied each year from the graduates
of The Pennsylvania State College
school of agriculture. Twenty-four
Seniors enrolled in the Penn State ag-
ricultural education course are now
located in various vocational schools
throughout the State receiving a
month’s training in actual teaching
work. They must have this exper-
ience before they can be . gralluated
and also to meet the teaching require-
ments of the State. After graduat-
ing, a further period of two weeks
must be spent in special project su-
pervision, a new requirement for such
teachers.
Have to Get Up Nights
For Bladder Trouble?
Try Simple Method This Dayton Man
Reports Relieved Him Quickly.
Mr. Wm. D. Ostermeyer, 326 E. Second
St., says in his own home paper, the Day-
ton Daily News: “My bladder caused me
to get up many times at night and also
inconvenienced me as often as every 30
minutes in the day After taking a few
Lithiated Buchu (Keller formula) tablets
my bladder is perfectly normal. They
also relieved a very lame back for me. It
gives me much pleasure to tell my friends
about these little tablets.”
Lithiated Buchu (Keller formula) acts
on the kidneys and. bladder like Epsom
Salts do on the bowels. It cleans them
out. It is not a patent medicine, as the
formula is on the package. The tablets
cost 2¢. each. This price makes it possible
to place in the formula several high-priced
drugs, which are useful for relief. Very
likely you have never taken anything like
this remedy. Try a few doses for back-
ache, scalding, scanty or high-colored
urine, «nd frequent desire at night. .
You can get Lithiatéd Buchu (Keller
formula) at Parrish’s drug store, and drug
stores everywhere, or write The Keller
