RELIGION FOR MODERN
MEN.

Religion is philosophy of life. 1t
is the only philosophy that interprets
the world and life in a manner that
reconciles man to life's perplexities.
1t points to God as life's author and
guide and requires such conduct on
the part of man as complies best with
Gods moral law.
Religion, therefore, is matter for
the individual man. It is for the in
dividual to accept or to reject it. You
cannot force man to accept a GER
tain view of life, if it's truth, it's beau
ty and it's harmony do not appeal to
him. There are people to whom the
world and human life present no di-
vine aspect. Their morality is based
on expediency and police authority.
For them life's greatest good consists
of gain and disqualification Such
people may be found in goodly num-
bers inside of the churches and the
synagogs as we'll as outside of them.
Church affiliation is no criterion.
The performance of religious ritual
and ceremony is no test of true re-
ligious thought and sentiment. Nay,
the lack of all truly religious feeling
often goes with the utmost supersti-
ton. Witness the fact that Jews and
Jewesses who do not manifest the
slightest interest in the faith of their
fathers, the most rational of all faiths,
are the most eager to embrace any
new cult, no matter how contrary to
all human reason it may be.
The greatest need of our age is to
point out this difference between the
true and the false in the sphere of
religion. This work was we'll done
for the world by the greatest virtuosi
of religion, the prophets Of ancient
Israel We cannot do better than con-
stantly to rehearse their doctrines and
to impress them upon Our minds. The
famous sentence of Micah is the sum
and substance of them Gle has
shown thee, O man, what is good,
and what the Lord requires of thee
to do justice, to love mercy and to
walk humbly with thy God"
This represents the minimum and
maximum of religion We need no
more, and we can do with no less. All
else of religious observance is in the
words of Hillel, but commentary, or
a means of religious instruction and
discipline. This is the religion of
modern men, men who think, reason.

ALASkANS HAVE VERY SWEET
 TOOTH

Cooperation by Alaskans in the mat ter of food conservation is to play no inconsiderable part in the final re- suits obtained through food conser- vation, especially those commodities most needed by our allies at the pres ent time

 During the fiscal year ended June 90, 1917, 369,321 pounds of canned beef; 4,622,2Sf pounds of fresh beef; 295,51S pounds of pickled and cured beef; 1,112,256 pounds of bacon; l. 162,962 pounds of ham; 92S, ,SO7 pounds of lard; 1,229,461 pounds of canned pork, fresh and pickled; 76O,956 pounds of mutton; $3O7,S5s worth of other meat products; 1,797,752 pounds of butter; 6,s3O,166 pounds of canned milk s,619,972 pounds of refined sug- ar; 78,S72 barrels of wheat flour and $127,194 worth of confections were shipped into the Territory from the States

 Now, with these enormous amounts of wheat. meat, sugar coming into the Territory, whose aggregate pop ulation today is not in excess of 6O,- 900, it may readily be seen what a great saving can be accomplished by Alaskans If economy is practiced and wheat and meat eliminated from cer- tain meals.

COCOANUT OIL FINE
FOR WASHING HAIR

If you want to keep your hair
in good condition, be careful what
you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and is very harmful. Just
plain mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and entirely
greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or any
thing else you can use FOR sham
pooling, as this can't possibly in
jure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The Iather rinses out
easily, and removes every particle
of dust, dirt, dandruff and excess
sive oil. The hair dries quickly
and evenly, and it leaves it fine
and silky. bright. fluffy and easy
to manage.
You can get muMified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It. is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone In the
family for months. adv.

wINTERING STOCK ERS
In Present Day Of High Prices, Ii Is
Not Economical to Allow Stock TO
Lose Flesh

The principal object in wintering
cattle is to bring them through the
winter in such condition that they
will make the best returns the next
season. In days of unlimited range
and cheap beef, what would not be
considered a high death loss was tax
en- as matter of course. With high
beef prices, limited range, and with
feedstuffs more readily available in
case of need, it is not considered eco
nomical to let stock cattle lose flesh
in wintering. They will be in better
shape to take advantage of the next
season't grass if they gain a little
through the winter. 1t is not advis-
able, on the other hand, to let stock
cattle fatten much, unless they are
to be fed out for market before June,
as they are likely to lose this fat on
early spring grass, and will not make
such profitable growth through the
following summer.
Under farm conditions, the great

FARMERS FACING MOST PROS
Porous ERA IN THEIR EN-
TIRE HISTORY
President o. F. Gardner, of Colorado
Farmers Congress, Says Whole
World is Hungry and Looking
to Farmer for Food

THE world is hungry as 1t never
was before and the farmers Of the
world, as the producers Of the things
which will satisfy that hunger, face
the most promising era of their his
tory"
This was the keynote of the annual
address of President o. F. Gardner,
of the Colorado Farmers Congress,
which began its eighth annual session
at the Agricultural College here to-
day.
President Gardner said that the
eyes of the world are turned on the
producer as they have never been be
for. Production of foodstuffs and
raw material for clothing has been
all shot to pieces" literally and fig
uratively in Europe and he told the
farmers of Colorado in attendance on
the congress that never had a body Of
farmers assembled themselves togeth-
err at so important a time.
when the war in Europe is over,
he said, I'VE must be ready to meet
the enormous demands which will be
made upon us. The demand for food
and clothing will be even greater
then than it is now. In order to meet
this demand and thus take advantage
of our opportunity, an opportunity, as
| have previously limited, such as has
never been ours before-we must push
our production up to the very limit.
To do this we must use our brains
We must study all new Legislation,
such as the new rural credits law, we
must take advantage of every bit Of
assistance we can. get from our Agri-
cultural colleges, from our county ag-
ricultural agents and from the United
States government
1.-THE most comforting thing about
the situation is that we need not fear
over production. There can be no
such thing as over production of food
stuffs and raw material for clothing
in the next few years.
LAS never before is it evident to-
day that the business Of producing the
fundamental things of life is Big
Business We must use big business
methods, we must use big business
brains, if we are to be equal to the
demands which will be made on us.
"The day Of the individual living
only for the individual in rural COM
munities is past We cannot fulfill
our destiny any longer by that meth
cd. Why, we cannot even partake Of
our rewards and the pleasures of life
TO the fullest extent if we follow that
old principle. We must corelate our
selves into tangible, effective, har-
monious community units. We must
take cognizance of our relationship
to the state. We must make closer
study of legislation, for we are the
state.
"And even as a nation, we occupy
a position which requires our very
best forethought and vision. This is
true of every other nation of the
world. When the present world war
terminates every nation Of the world
will find itself in position as regards
its relationship to the other nations
for which there is no precedent. We
must think out our course of action,
and the welfare Of civilization in the
future will depend upon the wisdom
and judgment we display"
