Eliminating Non-Essentials.

A certain woman had her drawing
room so filled with bric-a-brac that
it was only with the greatest caution
that one could go about the room
without injuring some piece of it.
1t was the constant care of this
woman to add to, arrange and ex-
plot this collection, and her life was
so absorbed in this occupation that
she had no time for a needed kind
ness. or to read helpful book, or to
speak on enlightening subjects. She
was a complete slave to the unes-
sential.
OF course. the reason why non-es-
sentials should be eliminated is that
the clearness of brain, the concen-
tration OF mind, the strength of
heart and hand, that are essentials
and make for essentials, are by them
entirely hindered or rendered wholly
or in part ineffective and inadequate
for the task in hand-the making of
happy and successful life. The
gardener who is master Of his busi-
ness prunes away many small ten
drills from the tree that the life and
sap and growing forces may not be
diverted from the fruit-producing
branches. Many bud and offshoot
from the rosebush is removed that
thereby all the nourishment may be
conserved to make the perfect BIOS
som. What girl or boy brought up
on farm has not been set to thin

If allowed to grow in the bed, would
have so exhausted the earth nourish-
ment as to have rendered the whole

factory.
Whether life is to be a failure or
a success depends very largely on
whether we allow the non-essentials
to choke and hinder and divert the
soul forces, or we cut them back.

ishment to go to the perfection of

In large number of commune
ties we find from three to five
churches within easy reach of each
other, where the community cannot
adequately support more than one or
two. AS member of one of the
orthodox churches, l feel compelled
to say that it seems to me that the
various churches. instead of trying to
rival each other in such communities
as these, should cooperate with each
other in Strengthening the church or
churches already existing. Let the
weaker ones give way to the stronger
ones and assist them to meet all the
religious conditions necessary. This
is being done in the mission field,

A speedy and economical treat
ment for dishguring pimples is
the following: Gently smear the
face with Cuticura ointment, but
do not rub. Wash off the ONT
ment in five minutes with Cuti-
cura soap and hot water and
battle freely for some minutes.
Repeat morning and evening. At
other times use hot water and

soap and ointment are equally
successful for itching, burning,
scaly and crusted humors of the
