.OUR- STORE.

When you hear a young man who il
employed by some business concern
say our store or ''our" Office, it is
a sure sign that the boy is working
for the best interests of his employer
The boy who manages to get to
work at the appointed time and watch
es the clock for thirty minutes before
time to quit, never says "our" busi-
ness.
And it is a sure sign his mind is
somewhere else rather than on his
work. He will never be anything
more than an employe. His chances of
advancement are small. The boy who
feels that his work is part of him and
that the business is partly his will
keep on going up.

NEED OF PURE MENTAL FOOD.

A significant fact was pointed ou
by the Rev. Henry F. Cope of Chi.
cago a few days ago when he said
I'VE need a careful guarding of the
whole range of mental food, more
strict than that maintained at the
kitchen door,"
The foundation for mental disease,
like that of physical defects, is laid
early in life. The mind of the child
is often poisoned by constant associa-
ton with immoral companions or by
unwholesome reading. The young
minds are especially susceptible to
outside influences and such impress
ions easily become a part of the
character.
Every child should have at it's dis
posal plenty of good books and mag
azines. A well-selected library should
be in every school-room and every
home and the child encouraged to read
as soon as it is old enough.
Parents cannot be too careful of the
associates of their children. Most
children can be taught to seek only
the best companions and to avoid
those of a vicious disposition.
Many more people are victims of
mental dyspepsia than of the physi-
cal sort. 1t is more serious since II |
affects not only the individual but may
be a menace to all with whom he |
comes in contact.

The fundamental and underlying
principle of the Kansas City Board
Of Public Welfare is municipal control
of municipal affairs. Problems of
housing. recreation, crime. poverty
and conditions under which employees
work are vital to a municipality.
They should be dealt with as municipal

Missionary work today offers a
wonderful life opportunity to young
men of the University who are prepar-

and the practice Of medicine" said j.
w. Lowe, a missionary of Laichowfu,
China, before he caught a train out
of Columbia Wednesday. Mr. Lowe de-
livered an address to the young women
of Stephens College Tuesday and in
spspired four volunteers for foreign
missionary work.
Mr.. Lowe. accompanied by Mrs.
Lowe. is visiting colleges throughout
the United States, and especially in
Missouri, in the interest of foreign
missionary work. He has been a mis-
sionary in Northern China all his life.
He is on his way today to Lexington,
Mo-, where he will address the young
women students of Central College.
There have been 1000 additions to
Mr.. loves church in China in the
last two years, more than in the first
fifty years of missionary effort in that
country. He believes China is in the
midst of a great awakening, which is
strongly Influenced by the new re-
public.
Il am positive this new republic |
has come to stay" he said. THE |
new president is in sympathy with
'ur work. He has shown his interest
n many ways. He gave a reception
n Pekin to the medical missionaries
Who served during the famine and the
'lague and administered to both sides
n the recent revolution. He ex-
'ressed sympathy with the efforts of
he Y. NJ. c. A. at a convention in
'ekin and his appeal for the prayers
( all Christian countries, which he
ent out April %, is strong evidence
his feeling. There soon will be alb
olute liberty granted to Christians

anying him on the trip through Mis-
ouri.
