ual things merely. Rather it is the
quality of men and women we are
producing. All the material wealth
OF the past century. all the intellec-
tual achievements and all discoveries
3re but incidental to the producing
or men and women who shall be like
God-who shall lift this planet up
to its maker. This is the new mes
sage of life. The worlds great cry
is not for money or brains. or dis
coveries, but for men made in the
image Of their God. He who keeps
step with the living God never
marches to defeat but always march,
es to victory. Underneath the lives
are the great underlying principles
which determine destiny. That for
which we are living, that for which
our hearts are painting, and our souls
are striving-these are the ideals
that shape III lives. And some
where. sometimes, we shall discover
that whatsoever lives to gives his
best life to the world never dies.

"My mother has been a sufferer for
many years with rheumatism" says
w. III. Howard, of Husband, Pa. "At
times she was unable to move at all,
while at all times walking was pain
full. l presented her with bottle of
Chamberlain's Pain Balm, and after a
few applications she decided it was
the most wonderful pain reliever she
had ever tried; in fact, she is never
without it now, and is at all times able
to walk. An occasional application of
Pain Balm keeps away the pain that
she was formerly troubled with" For

He took the CHASTITY find from his
hook and again threw his line into the
water. Again he pulled out the same
kind of material. He notified Guard
Green at the viaduct, who telephoned
the police.
by some who work in the neighbor-
hood of where the find was made the
story is given no credence. Others
think that instead of being a bunch of
hair caught on the fisherman's hook
it was part of Il decayed hemp rope.
There are still others who think that
il may be that some murder has been
committed. and in order to hide the
crime the murderer has weighted the
body to prevent its rising to the sur

Smith was on third and when

latter was beaten to the

Smith dashed toward him. Latimer
sidestepped and threw his foot out
TO trip Smith. He caught Smith so
that he almost took header. Umpire
Milan allowed Smith to score, as the
penalty imposed on Springfield for the
tactics of Latimer. Springfield
followed. and so did the crowd. Lati-
mer slammed the ball down into the

Only Four Hits on BrIttsen.
1t was not Rock Islands game at

was beautiful. The wonder il the

not have a more serious effect ON him.
Hagerman was pounded hard. Thir-

off him.

in the second. Neal, the shortstop,
brought il with one of the longest

credit. was on the scratch. and con-

by Miller, who jumped in the air at
least three feet and speared the ball
with his left hook. The home team was
playing steady ball under the encour-

not drive the sphere out of the dia-

terests most connected with political matters were
those affecting the French church and it IL not
unfair to say that matters have been going from
bad to worse. Aside from the expulsion of the
gatonal schools, measures which had already been
in the main adopted before Plus Ks election, vati-
can diplomacy has SO far been unable to cope with
the situation, and from the time of the closing Of
the cOncIave has met with series of apparent de
feats.
Some attribute these defeats to the youth and
inexperienee Of the papal secretary Of state, but
knowing prelates assert that each apparent mis-
take implies victory for religion and the church,
whose business Is conducted regardless of Pc
tical considerations, and whose best interests
in the future to be safely watched, independently
of the secular powers. There are those who see in
every action of the new Pope a premeditated at
tempt to shake off political considerations in order
to give religion and church interests pre-eminence
over all other advantages.
