No greater gift could be made to our modern world than the re6iscovery of the Greek physical supremacy. The secret of the method by which for one bEdeT period they realized perfection was long since lost no one knows how.
 At Present sOsl3tA1e~Ct0 we understand the principles of tradntng which guad- ed the 0ceek in his games, in his bat ties and h9e dances and made the pro portions of his figures dfferent from ours of today that Greek ,scuRpturs is in reaffty a puzzle to us Certain postureS fixed by the Greek sculptor seem to Is contort3ons, bordering on physical nnpossfbflfties. There is aI- ways a terrific controversy over blse restoration of Greek sculpture, and even then the arms and heads and legs we supply never look right.
 All this because we do not under stand the principles by which the Greek ordered the movements of his body. It was great secret of bodily co-ordfnat tion, and the secret has been lost and with. it the ability thoroughly to understand Greek art,-New York Times:

WAR IN the HOUSE OF GOD.

We often wonder why there is so
much bitter antagonism among the
several religious denominations,
when the ayowed purpose of each
is the saving of human souls.
The rivalry is often so keen
and the recriminations SO bitter
that an outsider considers it wise
to let them all alone rather than
become involved in a religious
neighborhood row.
Surely there should be some
means whereby the sincere followers
of the Nazarene could dwell in
harmony and labor side by side in
behalf Of Christian enlightenment,
with the ultimate result that the
world would become cleaner, and
purer, and better in every way.
Why carry the war into the house
of God, where peace alone should

BUT ONLY A psEAm

During the summer months mil
lions upon millions Of city peopl'
will rush of to the country for then
two weeks Of vacation. They vii
work hard at play, spend then
money, and go home dead tired t.
face another year Of hard work
But suppose they varied the pro
cedure for one summer a. an ex.
pertinent. Suppose each vacation
ist spent the two weeks on sons
farm where labor is scarce, and mer
are hard to get, and crops are light
or wasted because there are moi
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 time spent in tearing around
doing nothing.
And millions Of dollars of adj
produce would be added to
the store in the warehouses Of the
country, the wealth Of the land
would be enhanced, Drawn and
muscle would be hardened, brains
would become clarified, and human
ity would be elevated.
Of course it is only dream and
will never be realized-but dreams
are often sweeter than the reality.

channels, namely:
at would pay interest and sink

buy comfortable homes for nearly
nine million families.
at would buy a suit of clothes
for every man and boy and dress
for every woman and girl in the
United States, with enough left over
to buy a pair Of shoes for every
body.
'Tf the money spent for drink
were spent for homes tenancy would
disappear in the United States with

eff it we're spent for education
every child in the country would re-
ceive college education.
'1f it were spent for automobiles,
every family in the country would
own a car before 1924.
Mf it were spent for religion, il
would within less than a decade
carry the Gospel to every living
creature.
Tf it were spent for railroads, il
would buy every mile Of railroad in
the United States in ten years.

People often say: sit is hard to

People often say: sit is hard to
improve on nature" Not so very
much in the saying. Nature is
cruel, immoral and relentless. Back
to nature means back to mosquitoes
and flies and vermin; it means back
TO malaria, smallpox and yellow
fever. If we go far enough back, il
means nudity, which is neither CON-
Portable nor beautiful; to cruelty
of diet, to drinking polluted waters
and sleeping in caves. 1t means
rheumatism, and aches, and pains,
fostering wounds, and a death rate
to counterfeit which every woman
must bear a child a year. If we
should go back to nature a mans ex-
istence would be only an affair of
food and fighting, and woman's life
a matter Of food and fight and
child-bearing.
