 Asphyxiating gas may be taken as a striking example. The whole world was shocked when Germany first re- leased those poison clouds during their second attack on Ypres when the allies, little suspecting such weapon, had no protection whatever against it. engulfed by the lethal waves died az onizing deaths will never be forgot ten.

 The bitterness of it all to the Ger mans, however, is the fact that daily they find they have less and less rubber with which to Construct their gas masks, many of which are very infer for and offer but poor protection to the fighting men against gases that are becoming more power full.
 Boiling and blazing oil drums which they find exploding about them in scala ing and incendiary fury, heavy shells which break over them S purting streams of melted lead, are other spe- cies of the dread chickens of fright that are daily flying 1ome % the German roost.

Rcsuming the trend of that of
his last Sunday nights sermon,
Doctor Roberts spoke of the Per-
feet Man and the act of perfecting
ourselves. We are building a
character: we should build on the
strength and personality of Christ.
During his address he called at
tontion to the Importance of con-
versation as a medium Of exchang-
ing ideas of ideals and a means Of
building a larger and stronger per-
sonality. The close was a very beau
tiful invocation of Gods blessing
upon those who are going out to
answer the call of the colors or to
be tillers Of the soil.

ON Monday evening, April 30, the

his witches had prepared feast
for the expected guests.
A bright fire was burning and
while the witches were busy with
the cooking Mcphistupheles gather
ed us around him to listen to some
legend appropriate to the time and
occasion. A thrilling ghost story
was related and Dean Rumold told
something Of his German ancestry,
tracing 1T back to the daunJess
Suevi who kept Caesar from his
conquest beyond the Rhine.
The fast gathering storm pre-
vented the torch-light procession
which is always a pleasant feature
Of such occasions, but did not
iampen the spirits of the party who
sought refuge in the gymnasium
and finished up the evening in right
merry fashion.

What Is That to You?' was the
topic discussed by Secretary Vaughn
at the Y. VI. G.. A. meeting Sunday
night. Beginning with that wonder
ful command Of Jesus to Peter,
"pcter. feed my Sheep" he drew a
very fitting and forccful example Of
how we should not question too
much about what is going on about
us, but should do our duty and feed
the sheep. We must possess that
sense of human touch. Let us awake

HEALTH IS WEALTH"

Mr.. Citizen, have you taken into
consideration, in making plans for
your material welfare during the
coming summer and fall, that the
health of yourself and your family
may determine whether or moi
this is to be a successful year for
you? If you are a merchant, have
you stopped to reflect that a case OF
typhoid in your family will affect
your assets in exactly the same way
"a the loss of valuable shipment
of merchandise? II you are farm
er, has il occurred to you that such
an illness may Offset the value OF
a bountiful crop on many acres OF
your land? II you are wage earn
or, have you considered that illness
of yourself or a member Of your
family will materially affect the
plans you have made for the in
vestment Of your savings?
You have thought, of course, of
how unfortunate it would be for
such illness to happen in your
family. You have insured your
merchandise against loss. You have
insured your house and barn against
fire. You have perhaps even taken
out an insurance policy to provide
for the necessities Of life for your
family in case you become ill. But
have you given to the question Of
preventing such illness the thought
and study that so important mat
ter deserves? And many OF our
most serious and costly diseases
are entirely preventable.
The United States Public Health
Service devotes much Of its time
and effort to the study Of these
preventable diseases, and has is
sued numerous publications con-
tanning the fundamental principles
of disease prevention. Any or all
of them will be sent TO you free of
charge on request.
