A sUeeEsTIoN TO BE HEE0E0

The suggestion made by the Amer. lean Federation Of Labor that on the Sunday preceding Labor day all pas. tors devote their sermons to the discussion Of labor problems is one that might be well needed by the clergy Of the country.
 All over the country clergymen are asking Why men stay away from church?"
 There are many conributary caus. es. the chief one being the undeIiable fact that in most churches there is a lack of human interest in the top les of the sermons. The church Is improving in this respect. Today more than in the past, do ministers take up the topics of the day. But there is still a gulf to be bridged be- tween treatment of abstract morality and concrete conduct before the aver age man will look to the church for practical guidance.
 If the churches would dead more with the vital, burning issues of the day, more men would attend church and more men would lend themselves to an Rauelee which had power to shape the trend of their lives.
 The problems of labor are questions that concern every man who works for a daily wage. They are questions that should concern every man, whetf CT or not he works When men are happy they are usually receptive to good and moral impulses. Men who are unhappy In the inverse ratio are

more or less ready for conspiracy and crime, anything that will break the monotony Of existence and suGle for a few hours. Most of our waking hours are spent in work. I is the nature and the manner of performance of this work which de cides whether our days are to be hap py. or whether we toll in indifference and despair.
 In the main, morality is more of an effect than cause. If organized re- Iigion would wieId a greater power in the world of active men it should deal with the questions that most concern men. The suggestion of the American Federation of Labor opens a way to an avenue that will do more to increase the power of the church and the clergy, in our opinion, than any other means that can be selected.

"GiveS Any Woman
A New SKIN"

Lillian Langley in The London Fashion
(Eng.1
within the last three months, |
have answered over 1000 letters, from
women asking one and the same ques-
tion What shall l do for my COM
plexion?' and, although l dislike to
write for publication. my knowledge of
toilet articles will put any woman's
mind at rest as to what she should use.
After 25 years of study in the treat
ment of the face, neck and arms, / find
that few women know how to really
improve their appearance The usual
treatment of the beauty specialist is
dangerous thing, as 1t is too harsh. 1t
seems to have done good, but Oh my
shortly hair starts to grow, and such
lot of wrinkles, and the skin soon be-
comes rough and red and is all dried up.
1.-The following simple home recipe
will practically give any woman new
skin: Dissolve an original package or
Mayatone in ounces of witch hazel.
Massage the face, arms and neck with
this solution twice daily. This will re-
move all shine from the skin, giving 1t
a natural, dainty color. 1t prevents the
growth of hair, and is absolutely harm
less even to a baby's skin. All sorts OF
facial blemishes will soon disappear,
and also the stray hairs"
