FARMERS GOVERN IN BULGARIA; RETURNING COUNTRY TO NORMAL

(By Associated Presa) SOFIA, Bulgaria. Nov. 1. Probably no other European country offers a more striking example of the rule of the peasants or- farmers than Bulgaria. Politically and industrially they are today the most powerful factors in the life of the nation. They enjoy a majority representation in the government, and the whole-future of the country may be said to rest in their hands. .-Of the present cabinet of seven members, six are peasants, including M. Stambuliwsky, the prime minister. , "V.1 ,. In the Bulgarian parliament there are 110 deputies who are "men of the soil." They call themselves the Agrarian party.; The next strongest political group- comprises less than 40 members. Not only- do tho peasants control the government, but the whole economic structure of the country has its basis in their toil. For Bulgaria

is an agricultural country. There is little manufacturing, mining or shipping. While the peasants are in power there is little danger of the asctndency of bolshevism, for each inhabitant owns his- own land and is content with what he has. As thy peasants have come into control, the professional politicians have passed out. The so-called intellectual classes have had their way, and the population is content now to give the peasants a chance. They are doing well. They have taken hold of the country at the most critical economic and financial period in its history and are making wonderful strides toward bringing Hie kingdom back to normal. Old-time politicians and statesmen are viewing the scene with amazement if not with admiration. Introduce Labor Army. Led by their powerful leader, M. Stambuliwsky, who is a man of great wisdom and practical common sense, the peasants are introducing many re

forms and numerous innovations in ,

the government. Perhaps the mostj novel - scheme they have is the socalled Labor Army, whose ranks include every able-bodied inhabitant of! the country. The underlying principle : of it is that every man above 20 and every woman above 18 shall contri-j bute his or her proportionate share of; labor to the reconstruction, develop-j ment and improvement of the country, i One group of workers, lor example, i give a certain part of their time to the building of railways, bridges and' roads, another to the drainage of low

lands or the development of irrigation, a third to improvement of the soil, a fourth to the study of governmental and administrative problems, and so on. Another idea introduced by the peasants is the purchase and sale by the government, at minimum prices, of all things needed for the life of the people. This is intended as an emergency measure to relieve the present high prices and improve the rate of exchange. The purchasing is done largely in foreign markets and in such huantities as to insure the lowest prices. Distributing these good3 di

rect to the consumer, the government eliminates the middle man, and the people get the goods at the lowest

juices. It is estimated that from July, 1914, 1o July, 191S, there were approximately 1.200,000 women entrants in industry in Great Bratain. This number is exclusive of the 400,000 women who came from domestic service and smaller work shop.

How to Keep the Face Young and Attractive

The way to ward off old age is not to' fear it, not to allow one's self to he oppressed by the dread of advancing years. Use only legitimate preventives and avoid trying experiments that have not stood the test of time. An entirely safe and very effective way to keep the complexion younglooking and beautiful is to apply ordinary mercolized wax at bedtime, using It like cold cream, washing it off in the morning. This gradually absorbs the withered, faded cuticle, which is replaced by the more youth

ful, pink-tinted underskin. One ounce

of this wax, to be had at any drug store, is enough to completely rejuvenate a worn-out complexion. Crow's feet and other wrinkles, the first signs of advancing age, may be removed by a simple, harmless preparation made by dissolving an ounce of powdered eaxolite in a half pint witch hazel. It is used as a face bath. Advertisement.
