SUNDAY MORNING TALK
GROWING A SOUL.

man on his physical side. In it's organization his body resembles that of the lower animals. Any modern encyclopedia will show you where zoology places the human physique. Physical man is part of the mater al universe and akin to the creatures that live upon it.
 But no one supposes that geological definition of man explains him. There is an immaterial part of human be- ing that marks him as distinct from all earth-born creatures. He has a 1 body subject to natural laws; but he is a soul linked to an invisible and eternal order. That is the deepest and most significant fact about man. Men of former generation felt more sure of the soul than many of them appear to today. In our com mon thought the body claims su- preme attention To care for it and to coddle it sums up human duty. Men exhausted in the rush of modern competitive business are too tired to read or to think much of spiritual concern. Six days in the week they are engaged in making a living and the seventh is devoted to replenishing their physical energies Sunday be- comes a day of sleep in winter and golfing or motoring in the summer. The body must be kept in trim.
 Our fathers took a more serious view of human life and it's responsi- bilities. In their judgment man was something more than a physique They sang and meant it:
 A charge to keep l have
 A God to glorify
 A never dying soul to save
 And fit it for the sky.
 How shall one gain his soul? How shall he. if he has lost consciousness of his spiritual self, come into it again as into his great possession? We hear much about losing the soul. How may one gain the soul?
 First of all we must give it some attention. We must begin to act as though we were immortals and not dumb driven cattle. We must eXalt the heavenly rather than the earthly side of our natures. A minister once preached q temperance sermon from the words of Paul, T keep under my body" A little girl returning from church, challenged to give the text said it was, Keep your soul on top-' She missed the exact words. but she got the right interpretation.
 Whenever a man does right on uine sacrifice for what is honorable, whenever he acts the generous part. lin scorn of miserable aims that end with self he strengthens his soul Living like an immortal he begins to believe he is one.
 It is true of the individual as Low ell said 1t was true of the nation in the dcI OI ueStrOylhS SldNeTy, tndI moral stature is gained through sac rife.
 Then t will be felt from pole to pole, Without no need O proclamation, Earth's biggest country's got her soul An risen up Earth's Greatest Nation.
 It is easy to loose ones soul in the slough of modern materialism. But it is wholly possible to gain ones soul also. There were no choicer saints in the apostolic age than there are today Whispers from the spirit ual realm greet men of wore. Times loud voice cannot still the heavenly harmonies. But only they are able to hear who have learned how to listen.

WEEKLY HALF HOLIDAYS.

For the purposes of recreation, a change of surroundings a rest the benefit of weekly half holiday has made it's widespread appeal. It is a privilege which most anyone can ap- preciate. but particularly in those who are employed inside continuously and for long hours does it have it's strong est advocates. It is not alone clerks or factory employees who feel the need and benefit of stch release from duties. for President Wilson has indicated that it is practice which he has been carving out during his governorshfp in New Jersey and which he intends to continue in Washington. That free dom from the great responsibilities of the office is needed and there is no reason to believe that efficiency will suffer therefrom or that it will mean a neglect of duties. On the other hand 1t fortifes him for the better admin istration of the many requirements and the holding up to the strenuous pace which is required in the White House.
 The half holiday. once week. brings about a diversity in the routine of work which if properly used gives needed relief in these days when bus mess is geared up to the top notch It overcomes the grind. permits re- cuperation, which adds new interest to work and is something to look for ward to each week besides the steady application to the routine of any line of business. The weekly half holiday particularly during warm weather. is a relief measure and has come to be to those who work what a vacation is to school children.

THE BLUE SKY" LAW.

No stone, is being left unturned to defeat the blue sky law in Iowa. the measure which has been passed by the legislature for the protection of the people of the state against the sellers of unknown securities. and such so often prove worthless. It is required by the law that companies which are affected by the bill must secure a permit from the state. pay a license and make an annual report to the state as a basis for continuance of the per init. The intent of the law is to bar from the state companies which have fake securities or are selling stock which is not backed up by real money or property of value. Experience has demonstrated many instances where the need of such a law Is apparent, and the opposition which develops comes from companies or individuals who are engaged in business which will not bear inspection.
 It is not simply the west alone which has reason to restrict such operations. The need of 1t is universal and not few states have recognized the neces- sity of throwing protection about those who are the prey of the slick and smooth taIlker. An alluing tale of profits and possibilities has been the cause of many people parting with the.r hard earned cash Gold brick schemes will ever exist until the peo- pie pass the gul1ib1e stage. but as i'm portant check is offered by the law.

Do you realize that we want to hear all that's a-going. and that half of it is gossip and idle rumor not worth re- beating. Of course. We are told that we should only indulge in profitable talk. discuss great subjects with our equals or superiors. I do not think this is good advice. for it is apparent we all could not do it if we wanted to. believe Herbert Spencer used to- dis cuss matters of great importance with Carlyle and these talks closed with a glaring match and were finally given up. Then he tried Tyndal. and after a discussion of two days and two nights without sleep he broke away from him in order not to be talked to death. This shows there are perils in life the masses wot not of. Light conver- sation upon congenial subjects is very pleasant. Heavy talk to common minds must be in small miscellaneous, or it becomes wearisome. He who lets every kind of dribble flow into his mind makes a sewer of it. Study and thought give mental strength and no end of pleasure.

DISPENSARIES!

A free dispensary is a place kept
open certain hours of the week with
doctor and generally a nurse in at
tendance for the free examination of
those who need it's service. People of
means ought to go to their physicians
and pay the regular fee for such serv-
ice. Inasmuch as physicians always
render their services free to the needy
anyway, they generally favor the dis,
'pensary as saving time. Sometimes
these dispensaries, or clinics, are held
for all diseases and sometimes
for especial classes of disease, such as
tuberculosis, or hook worm, or dis
eases of the eye, or nose and throat.
Such dispensary is an advantage TO
the whole community. The needy feel
less hesitation about going there when
Ill than about calling physician; con
sequently maladies are often more
quickly diagnosed and put under con.
troll, and the contagious diseases are
then prevented from spreading. Espe-
cially in the case of consumption, it is
easier to get an examination of the
children of the family in a dispensary
than 1t is at home. The accurate in
formation which can be better secured
and tabulated in a dispensary than
elsewhere is of great service in any
general campaign for public health
A free dispensary can be cheaply start
ed and maintained, because physicians
are always willing to give an hour OF
two week of their time to that work
Are you ready to give little of your
money for it in case one is started il
your community?

ASHAM ED!

Lots of people seem proud to have APP
pendicitis or nervous troubles because
they think they are fashionable dis.
eases, and are ashamed to be called
consumptives because consumption is
not fashionable. Feeling this way,
they neglect diagnosis and medical
care when they first detect the signs
of consumption, thinking that by sim.
pie neglect, the disease will disap-
pear of itself. 1t is we'll within the
truth TO say that 5000 lives are sacri-
feed annually in the United States
through this false pride. The only
thing to be ashamed of in having a
case of tuberculosis in the family is
the neglect of the disease and the con.
sequent death of the sufferer; and
such neglect deserves round censure
because it will probably involve more
than one person. Remember that an
early diagnosis of consumption in
creases the chance of cure a thousand
fold.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1913-07-25

The home care of the consumptive
in the beginning stage, under the SUI
pervision of doctor or nurse, is not
dangerous to the other members of
the household. The germs of the dis.
ease are almost wholly thrown off in
the discharges from the mouth and
nose, and a uniformly careful collec-
ton and destruction of this material
will prevent the spread of the germs
through the house. The consumptive
should spit in a paper box or cloth
which can be burned. Paper napkins
should be used instead of the ordinary
cotton or linen handkerchiefs to wipe
the nose and lips, and these napkins
should be carefully burned. The con-
sumptive should have his own set Of
dishes, which should be washed sep
arately in boiling water. His bed and
table linen should first be soaked in a
disinfecting solution or boiled for half
an hour before being washed with the
rest of the family laundry. He should
wash his hands carefully before and
after eating. He should never cough
without a paper napkin held to his
mouth. He should never kiss another
person. These are practically all Of
the precautions; but they are realy
Sc difficult TO observe day in and day

The law creating the Kentucky III,

islature provides also a plan for the
building of small hospitals throughout
the state for the proper treatment of
tuberculosis. The plan in brief is as
follows: The Fiscal Court OF any
county may declare that county dis

may be submitted 10 vote of the peo-
pie at any regular election, and, if
carried, it is then the duty of the Fis.

one another may declare themselves
a single district for this purpose by a

tons in the law, the State Commission
names a considerable group of citi-
zens, men and women, of the county
or counties involved, from which
group the judges of these counties
name a District Board Of tuberculosis
Hospital Trustees. This Board then
asks of the Fiscal Court funds to be
raised in the regular levy of taxes
From these funds a site is selected
subject to the approval of the State
Commission, and then the Board pro

Commission is given a very general
