Our dependence is upon God If
we have come praying that God might
stir your hearts, and if we continue thus
to pray through these days. l feel sure
fire will be kindled here that will go
back with us to our fields and burn
till souls are born into the kingdom of
God. We believe that God wants us

The Lewiston journal.

The Lewiston Journal company at the
| attention to its excellent publications. OF
course, the public spirited citizen always
subscribes and pays in advance for his
home paper. The Lewiston Journal l.
designed to supplement the home paper,
furnishing to readers the general State
news as well as the news of the whole
world. 1t has from year to year made
advances both in the methods OF produc-
ing the paper and also in gathering news,
so that no publication offered to Maine
readers contains nearly so much matter OF
interest.
Its plant especially adapted to the pro-
duction OF first class paper, ena oles the
publishers 10 present each week just such
paper as is necessary to cover the news
of the week. Its ample columns give
space fer not only all the news of Maine,
but also for a condemnation OF the news of
the whole world. All prominent events
are fully illustrated by excellent pictures
from its own halftone plant.
This, with its large corps OF local CORE
spondents, its full corps of staff writers
at all principal points, its travelling cor
respondents, enables it to present every
event of interest promptly and in a very
attractive style. The Journal is at once a
news, political, business, literary, miscel-
laneous and family paper.
Since the Journal adopted the f,ature
of presenting the agricultural section as a
separate sheet with the attention given to
grange matters, this feature has prove a
great attraction. These departments will
be maintained with increased vigor.

Dear Friends:

Dear Friends:
Now that the holidays are over l sup
pose we shall settle down to our regular
work again, and begin to gather up the
tangled ends of our threads of industry.
Not that we have not been industrious
during the busy days, for we undertook
much extra work-whether we really
finished 1t or not. The current of our
thoughts was changed and the air we
breathed was vibrating with "good-wilP',
and if we had the true Christmas spirit
selhshness and envy took vacation.
With many of US the chief regret we ex-
perienced was that it was impossible to
bestow personal remembrance on every
one we knew. If the peace and good will
season causes our hearts to overflow even
with desires for others happiness, shall
we not be the better men and women and
boys and girls during the new year on
which we have just entered?
Will Mrs. Dieter please accept many
thanks for the pretty gifts which came
safely TO me from her distant home in
Minnesota? Ego's greeting OF Christmas
tide acknowledge with gratitude also.

Mustard Bath For Children.

When your young hopeful comes In
from his playtime sneezing and cough
ing and showing various indications of
having caught cold. leave the usual
drugs and try a mustard bath for
warding off future trouble. Tie two
tablespoonfuls of ground mustard in
small piece of cheese cloth and put 1t
In a tubful of water as hot as one can
comfortably bear. Rub thoroughly aft.
erw1rd and get the patient to bed as
soon as possible to guard against more
cold.
This plan of taking q mustard bath
when the usual indications of q severe
cold present themselves Is equally good
for adults, but 1t is especially recon-
mended for the little tots who so often
expose themselves thoughtlessly dur
Ing playtime and who should not be
allowed to become accustomed to drugs
In any form unless prescribed by
physician for severe cases.

This is a question which the average
woman would meet with a naughty
look. Yet nine times out Of ten II
would prove more than pertinent. The
girl who uses gallons of water daily
for washing purposes and who scrubs
and scrubs most diligently with soap
will be surprised how much cleaner
her skin could really get. A bit of cold
cream will show her whether her face
Is clean or not. Rubbed softly into the
face with the tips of the fingers. the
cold cream will take up every atom of
dust or SCOT from the skin. and with
soft cloth gently wipe the face over
and over. Then have a look at the
cloth. You will be amazed to see how
grimy 1t Is, realizing that your face
had not had the proper sort of bath.
Respite soap and water used so freely.

NEWSPAPER MEN COMING WEST

NEWSPAPER MEN COMING WEST.
The tour OF the far west which some
thirty prominent newspaper cores
pondents Of Washington will make In
September will be In many respects an
interesting event. They will get a
view Of this part Of the country which
probably many Of them have never
enjoyed. and as the Denver Republic
can says, the information they will OBJ
tain Of western conditions will enable
them to understand and appreciate
more clearly governmental questions
affecting this part Of the union.
The company OF Washington cores.
pondents includes some OF the most
capable newspaper mon In the country,
and It will be Of no small advantage
to the west II they form a favorable
opinion Of local conditions as they may
see them on this tour.
We are sure they will receive a
cordial welcome wherever they may
go and be given every opportunity to
learn what the far west Ia and what
its people want. Some OF the most
important domestic questions which
the national government has to con
sider affect the west. and It Is impor
tant that the Washington correspond
ents OF the large newspapers Of the
east should become informed through
personal observation concerning
these matters.
