NOT VERY EASY TO

Seeing the act, Polly Pickles

that behind the antics of tile. cat

There are still places in Spokane
where person can eat without the
feeling that his weeks wages are
in immediate danger. These places
can be readily distinguished a
block away by the shouts of fren-
zied walters and continuous
crash of dishes not unlike the roar
of artillery. With the aid of ear
mufflers one can in a short time
become accustomed to this, and
with little practice can converse
with a friend even above the roar

Fioht AGAINST PLAQUE Goes On.

Although the survey of the past
years anti-tuberculosis work shows
that much has been done, the reports
from all parts of the country indicate
that this year the amount of money to
be expended, and the actual number
of patients that will be treated will be
more than double that of the past
year. For instance, special appropria-
tons have been made in the various
municipalities for next years anti
tuberculosis work, aggregating $685.

lions over 81, 1000 has been set
aside by the different state legisla-
lures for the campaign against tuber-
culosis this year. Besides these sums,
a large number of the present exist
ing institutions and associations are
planning engagements of their work,
and new organizations are being
formed daily.

Is CHRIST'S REAL MESSAGE
"Love and Live for Others" the Key
note of All the Teachings of
the Master.

"By love serve n another."-Gal.
5:13.
One of the wisest of the ancient
Greeks declared that the free man
was he who existed for himself and
not, like a slave, for the sake of an
other. How sharply this contrasts
with the essential teachings Of the
worlds greatest religious leader; they
who find the full and free life must
learn to live, not for themselves, but
for others.
We have been for centuries burying
the simple teachings of the prophet of
Nazareth under survivals of ancient
superstitions and masses Of %philosoph-
ical sutlety and speculation. Now
when his real message is spoken 1t
sounds so strange we call it a new re-
ligion. The doctrine that the greatest
need of the universe is that men
should love one another and live for
one another has been neglected so
long that it appears to be wholly new.
Your historians point to this and
you philosophers to that as the es-
sential article of Christian faith, but
it is neither in historical records nor
in theological formulas. The one
thing that marks and makes the true
mar in religion is that he has learned
that life is just the chance to love and
to give life away. His faith is right
who is right with his fellows.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as we'll
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fis-
sured. itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.

Earthly Cross-Bearfng.

A certain undertone of sadness is
recognized in the words of that marvel
Gus compound of cynicism and music,
the book of E~cclesiastes: "The clouds
return after the rain" The allusion
to the seventh" trouble that comes
after the deliverance from the sixth"
as cited in Job, has the same under

this undertone. That 1t will be parted

might have sent the spirits of the
dead to enforce his will. Surely he
might have done differently; but be-
ing the superlative Christ he could

alarming message of Jesus is that he
is the last and farthest reach of the
mind and hand of God. To go far,
Their would be to do worse, to be less
wise and loving, to set weakness in
the seat of power and to furnish the
earth at last the thing it is hungry
for, a real excuse for sin. A God
who might have done more and better
for his children and withheld his hand
