GENERAL SECRETARY HILL
 SHOP TALK SPEAkEF
Describes the Four Men Found Under
 Every Hat.

There are four men under every hat said General Secretary Edwin Hill at the shop talk held under '. NJ. C. A. auspices at the plant of the Hop kins S5 Allen Firearms company Thursday at noon.
 It is true, he continued, that in d certain sense every man is a conlbi- nation of four men. First of all, there Is the man SIS he is seen by the pub lie. He is often judged by his clothes, his manner or his speech. It is not always safe to judge d man thus; sometimes q man dresses well, has good manners. smooth speech, and in Wardly he may be q l1ypoCrite.
 There is the man as he is known by his friends. They know bis virtues and they know his faults much better than the public, and they are apt to know his sorrows and his hcartaches as the public does not, and therefore he can expect more sympathy from them. But even his friends do not know him absolutely. and 1t happens once in q while that d man greatly dis appoints his friends.
 The third man under the hat is the fellow as he knows himself. This knowledge is, of course, very intimate. much more so than that of either of the two already mentioned. 4 man knows his own trials and struggles as no other earthly being does, and in d real sense he has to bear his own burdens which are very heavy at times; but even in this relationship there is a lack of knowledge. for it is quite possible for d man to deceive himself and, though it may seem 8 strange statement d man will do well to beware of himself.
 Lastly, there Is the man as God knows him. In each of the other cases it is possible to deceive, but here there is no such possibility, for wherever you go and whatever you do, God knows. No night is dark enough to bafae his a1l-seeing eye; no place so distant that he cannot follow He is not watching us as e policeman watches q, thief; but his eye is an eye of pity and he is anxious to help Us bear life's burdens and solve life's problems and inasmuch as he knows Us better than we even know ourselves he can guide our lives as no other can.
 Let us then turn our lives over to him and let us from this moment say, and mean it, the Lord is my Shep- herd" for if we do this surely good ness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives.
 Thero were several selections on the '. NJ. .. \. phonograph during the meeting.

MEAT INJURIOUS

We are a. nation of meat eaters and our blood is filled with uric acid. says d Well-known authority, who warns us to be constantly on guard against kiG- uey trouble
 The kidneys do their utmost to free the blood of this irritating acid, but become weak from the oyerWorh; they get sluggish; the elinliuative tissues clog and thus the waste is retained i'll the blood to poison the entire system.
 When your kidneys ache and feel like Jumps Of lead, and you have stingiuty pains in the back or the urine is cloudy, full Of sediment, or the bladder is ir- -Itable, onliginG you to seek relief dur Ing the night; when you have severe headaches, nervous and dizzy spells, Sleeplessness, acid stomach or rheuma- tisnl in bad weather, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts: take q, tablespoonful in d glass Os water before breakfast each nOrU- ing and in Q few days your kidneys will act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid Of grapes and lemon juice, combined with litT1ia, and has been used for generations to flush set sluNlzlsl; the eiminative tissues tralze the acids in urine so 1t Is no longer q source of irritation. thus enG- ing urinary and bladder disorders.

MORE NEED THAN EVER
 FOR LARGE CONTRIBUTIONS.
Says Bishop Milan in Letter to Clergy
 of the Diocese.

The following circular has been re- ceivcd by the local Catholic pastors:
 EPISCOPAL RESIDENCE,
 Hartford Conn,
 February g, 1915,
 Dear Father: The annual collection for the home and foreign missions pre- scriacd by the third plenal.y council of Baltimore is to be taken up in this diocese on the first Sunday of Lent Feb. T. In announcing this collection in your church, kindly explain to your people the duty imposed on them by Christian charity to aid the apostles of Chsrist in reaching His Gospel to every creature on tho face of the earth.
 The mission of the church is ever the same: To teach all nations" the office of teaching cannot be taken up by every member of the church but the obligation of supporting the apos- tolic men and women who have been called to do the work rests upon the great body of the faithful who have been blessed with the light of divine truth. Our gratitude for the gift urges Us to procure the same favor for others and our charity in coming 10 the aid of those who have not re- celVed the light Is our suTest safe guard against losing the treasure that has been given us out of the bounty of God
 The necessity of the greatest gen. eros!ty this year IS forced upon us by present conditions in the European countries that formerly contributed millions Of dollars to the work of tho foreign missions. DestitutiCr and privation will be the lot of the priests and Sisters in heathen countries t1n- less we Succor them from our own 1neager resources. They have gone out from home and friends with firm confidence in the divine Providence that disposes the children of light to extend charity to those who sit In the darhness of hopeless paganism and superstition. We must not fail these apostles of Christ in this hour of ter rible need. Think of their poverty. theIr hunger and their hardships and do not turn a deaf ear to Him who pldS you give that you may receive tho reward promised to those who nave shown charity to the least of Christ's little ones. Nor do we need to look ia" to find worthy objects of our charity. They are at our very >doors. Millions of the Negro and Indian races in our own land have not yet received the tidings of Christ's Gospel
 The many claims on our charity for the relief of those who are suffering physical ills aS a result of the present War must not crowd out the more serious demands for the spiritual wei fare of immortal souls. The life of the body is indeed precious, but the life of the soul is infinite in value. Therefore cooperate in the work of God in providing the benefits of Re demption for those who would other wise be lost and lend aid to the work CTS who have consecrated themselves to the task of extending the kingdom of Christ upon earth.
 Yours sincerely
 JOHN j. MILAN.
 Bishop of Hartford
