Letters to the Editor
GOING TO CHURCH

To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Why are We so strongly urged to go
to church on the first day of March? :?
Will not April or May be just as good?
Will someone please give me an an
swer l find nothing in Scripture to
indicate such a request The apostles
met together the first day of the week
to break bread. What was written of
them is written for us; but they don't
do it. Where is the church? What is
the church? Will some of your read
ers kindly inform me? Scripturally,
where does going to church make a
Christian? Jesus says, Wherever two
or three are gathered together in My
name, there am I in the midst of
them. But Solomon built him an
house. Howbeit the most high dwell

(Acts, z, 49,. l heartily commend
anyone who attends service regularly
and for spiritual purposes, but how
few do this? To see and be seen of
man is the spirit of the churchgoer
to-day. When good thinking men go
to church they go to hear, thus saith
the Lord God. and not to hear an
other mans sermon read to the con-
gregation, as has been done lately in
one of our churches, simply to draw a
crowd for the increase of basket col
lections. We have very little encour-
agement to go to church for spiritual
benefit. Why? Because the dragnet
is thrown out and they gather them
into the church from every source and
description, whether converted or un-
converted. if they have fat purse
that is all that is required. But God
is spirit, and they that worship Him
must worship Him in spirit and in
truth (John. A, 24), and He does not
dwell in temples made without hands

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
SO SAYS EMINENT SpEC1.IIsT

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, stomach-ache and
inability to retain food, are in probably
nine cases out of ten simply evidence
that fermentation is taking place in the
food contents of the stomach, causing
the formation of gas and acids. Wind
distends the stomach, and causes that
full, oppressive feeling sometimes
known as heartburn, while the acid ir-
ritates and infiames the delicate lining
of the stomach The trouble lies en-
tirely in the fermentng food. Such fer
mentation is unnatural, and acid forma-
tfon is not only unnatural, but may in
volve most serious consequences if not
corrected. To stop or prevent fermen-

Symptoms Are Warn
ings to Wise Men

The publication of the prescrip-
tion of a famed physician would
prove fruitless to hundreds of
men if unable to recognize the
necessity for its use. 1t is not
the intention or desire of the
writer to mislead or frighten by
painting the horrors suffered by
the prematurely aged, but rather
is it the desire to state plain
facts. The peculiar aff1iction
which destroys ambition, organic
strength, energy and hope is &C
companied by some of the fol-
lowing symptoms, If not by all:
Dull, sunken eyes; thinness Cor
abnormal fatness), cold extremi-
ties, backache. weakness in the
spine, twitching, spots before the
eyes, pains in back of head, head
ache, trembling, fatigue. shrink
ing of the skin. flabby flesh. inn
loss of appetite, constipation,
kidney arrangements and a gem
eral unpreparedness for emerg-
encies of all sorts.
The right kind of medical
treatment will effectually over
come such warning symptoms
and restore normal conditions if
persistently used for n few short
weeks.
Any one can buy the inSredi-
ents and mix the medicines of
this prescription at home as it
contains no poisonous opiates
whatever.
The instructions for mixing at
home secretly so that no embar-
rassment may be felt, are as fol-
lows: First get three ounces of
syrup sarsaparilla compound and
one. ounce compound fluid balm
wort; mix and let stand two
hours. Then add one ounce COM
pound essence cardiol and one
ounce tincture cadomene COM
pound tnot cardamom), and mix
all together. The directions are
to take one teaspoonful after
each meal and one when retiring,
until bounding health and full
strength are restored. Even a
few weeks will witness most
wonderful results. Advertise

ANNE MORGAN AND
THE AMERICAN GIRL

In the Woman's Home Companion
for December appears an article by
Anne Morgan-the second in a series
of four talks on the American girl,
which Miss Morgan, youngest daugh-
ter of the late j. Pierpont Morgan,
is doing for the Companion. The ar
tlcle this month is entitled "Her Re-
sponsibilities. An extract follows;
MANY anti-suffragists say that the
vote can only go with the power to
bear arms and yet one of the first
official calls issued by the French gov
eminent after the order for mobiliza-
ton of the troops was a magnificent
call to the women and children of the
country to take the place of their
fathers and husbands out in the fields.
THE response was as instantaneous
and as sincere as the response to the
call to arms, and everywhere in the
poorest districts of the country one
saw the tiny children staggering
under their heavy loads of corn and
grain.
Just as her public duty is clearly
defined in time Of war, our girl can
have no misconception of her public
responsibilities in time of peace. At
her door lie the thousand and one
questions of municipal housekeeping.
The clean town and the well-directed
schoolhouse are hers to create, and
still more hers to sustain; then there
are the hospital and the asylum, the
prison and reformatory.'

Hoping to see my answer in your
column soon. MRS. d. Il.
If the baby is sick she won't be
really happy until she gets well. It
is not natural for a baby to cry all
the time. / would advise you TO
consult a physician Immediately.
Guess work is dangerous where
babies ailments are concerned.
Nothing is better for unhealthy
hair than regular massaSe. 1t

GIRLS CANNOT BREATHE PROPERLY AND How Shoulders
AFFECT THE 'DEBUTANTE SLOUGH Should Be Held

The round shouldered girl is always
with us. She was not so very promi-
nent until lately, when the "debu-
tante SLOUGH" (whatever that isl and
fashion book illustrations encouraged
this attitude.
1t is really too bad that our fine,
straight American girls should en-
danger their health and ruin their ap-
pearances for a mere passing fad. The
hunched-up shoulders and prominent
abdomens of last season were disgust
ing, and tickle fashion has changed
her decree. This year the straight,
upright figure is in style. The in
fiuence of the military fashions is
showing itself in a most commend
able way.
But in some cases the problem of
the round-shouldered girl remains.
Corsets, braces and all such surgical
arrangements are of no use; the girl
herself gets tired of them very soon
and throws them aside. She must be
taught, first, to breathe properly, and,
second, to stand correctly.
For instance, when we breathe in,
the sides of the body at the edge OF
the lower ribs should push outward

What do you think, Helen! Mary
Lizbeth always pins her dolls
clothes on, stead of sewing on but
tons. And if it's a kid doll she jams
the pin right straight through its
body" said Dorothy with a shud-
der to Helen Binks.
The three girls were sitting on the
floor of the dear Dear nursery, in
specting Dorothy's array of dolls
and doll clothes. Mary Elizabeth
was cuddling the baby doll, and in
Helen's arms was Hildegarde's big
French doll, the one that could say

hair
What difference does it make?'
demanded Mary Elizabeth, looking
up from her tieing of one of the
baby dolls little crocheted socks,
"the dolls can't feel the pins, can
they, Helen2"
Thus appealed to, Helen said:
"We-ell, o. course they can't really
feel. but when you're playing you're
their mother they seem to get kind
o. real to you, and nobody would
want to stick pins in a real, live
child"

her story about each one; how
this cape was made from a piece
of mothers silk waist. and that
bit of fur was given to her by
Nurse Nellie, and that dress was a
piece of Dorothy's own blue pOplin,
and so on.
And when the very bottom of the
trunk was reached. and Dorothy

she said:

litely, but Mary Elizabeth shook
her head decidedly, saying, mot 1.

the things every which way until
Dorothy's orderly soul cried out in

because their clothes are constrainin.
This is a serious defect and the OF
gans of the chest and lungs will b,
affected sooner or later. This is the
interior result; the exterior result l.
the slouching, inelegant figure.
To stand properly let the arms hang
naturally at the sides, taking care
that the spine maintains a vertical
position, so that line drawn from
shoulder to hip would be straight up
and down. Now raise the chest, keep.
ing the chin close to the neck and the
abdomen retracted, and your round
shoulders will disappear. This proves
that the shoulders are willing to do
their part and are not the offenders
the offender is the girl herself.
If you are dealing with a round
shouldered girl, don't say anything
to her about her shoulders, but induce
her to wear the proper clothes, allow
ing freedom to the waist muscles, and
to breathe deeply. Then the problem
of round shoulders is solved forever.
