Going to Stay Home Niqhts.

John William is the five-year-old son of
a very busy physician. The absence of his
papa from home, particularly at night,
has, for long time, been matter of
much concern to him. He never likes to
go to bed without bidding his papa good
night, and frequently remains up quite
late waiting for him to return home.
A few nights ago. when his papa was
absent on one Of his usual professional
trips, John William proceeded to inter-
rogate his mamma on the practice of
medicine. Among other things, he de-
manded to know how many different
kinds of physicians there are. In reply
his mamma mentioned allopaths, homeo-
paths, eclectics. osteopaths, chiroprac-
tors, etc. Whereupon John William said:
Mamma, when l grow up 1 am going to
be homepath- and stay home at nights

Scientists Condemn Alcohol.

No price is now too large for the liq-
our interests to promptly pay for a
scientific authority who will say a
word in favor or that can be twisted
into a seeming favor, Of alcohol. The
hunt is continuous, and every little
paid newspaper tool is proclaiming the
rum breath utterances of this unknown
doctor" and that, and proclaiming
them to the world as famous scien-
lists" who declare that booze is food"
and liquor saved my life,' ETC., all Of
which is reprinted at rum trust head
quarters and sent out in circulars to
other rum trust tools and in the mails
Of Christian homes.
But real scientific authorities are not
giving any word Of comfort to the
liquor interests these days. The life
extension institute recently submitted
to it's hygiene reference board, con-
sisting of "a eminent American author
tiles, a pronouncement, from the sci
entic viewpoint, upon the question OF
alcohol, which was prepared by DR..
Eugene L. Fisk, director Of hygiene of
the institute. Not a voice was raised
in alcohol's defense. On the contrary
the conclusions were adverse and have
the support of the scientific men and
other students of human welfare prob
lens who constitute the board. Prob
ably never before in the generations
of conflict upon this subject has there
been so great unanimity Of opinion
among leading students Of the scien-
tific side of the problem.

God said these was the two an.

Lord of the whole earth.
Now when we find this out
clearly, then we will have the two
candlesticks spoken of in our
Text. And we claim that one
of these two candlesticks was the
Twelve Apostles. and the Cos.
pei of circumcision committed
unto Peter the light for the Jews.
And Paul the Apostle to the
Gentle world, and the Gospel Of
uncircumcision committed unto
him, the other ca1dlestick a and

Apostles.

But Only a Dream

During the summer months
millions upon millions of city
people will rush off to the coun.
try for their two weeks Of vaca-
ton. They will work hard al
play, spend their money, and &C
home dead tired to face another
year of hard work.
But suppose they varied the
procedure for one summer as an
experiment. Suppose each vaca-
zionist spent the two weeks on
some farm where labor is scarce,
and where men are hard to get,
and where crops are light or
wasted because there are not
enough men to till or harvest
them. A couple of weeks of
moderate work on a farm would
be vastly more beneficial to
health than the same period
spent in tearing around doing
nothing. And millions of dollars
of additional produce would be
added to the store in the ware
houses of the country, the wealth
of the land would be enhanced.
Brawn and muscle would be
hardened, brains would become
clarified, and humanity would be
elevated.
Of course it is only a dream
and will never be realized-but
then dreams are often sWeeter
than the reality.

GOVERNMENT EXTENDS AID
TO COLORADO 0RCHARD|S7S

In western Colorado the or
chardists of that section lost theil
entire fruit crop by heavy late
frosts. To tide them and many
others who are out of employ
ment over the season, immed-
late construction of what is
known as the Grand Valley high
line canal, a government project,
and these people will be given
given employment on the work.
About $350,O00 will be spent
for the work, which will COM
plete a project costing 81, 600, 000
and which will provide water for
10000 acres.
We are glad to see our neigh
bors on the south secure the
funds for the completion of their
project, but we would like to
have someone explain why it is
that there is an abundance of
money available for irrigation
work in other sections when
work on the Flathead project
must be closed down for want of
available funds. Homesteaders
here have needed, and still need,
a little assistance from the gov-
ernment as bad as the people of
any other part of the country.
They are not asking for donations
in the form of charity. They are
asking the Uuited States govern
ment to fulfil the promise made
at the time the lands here were
thrown open to settlement. That
is all.
