Mr.. Alexander cares nothing for fit

it carefully from spoilage. is the key
note OF a suggestion from the United

to carry in storage an amount of -four
proportionate to the current needs of
their trade. Housekeepers on the

Hour in accordance with their needs
only. 1t is false economy for the
housekeeper to purchase larger
amounts of flour than can be used
within reasonable length of time.
This may be a barrel for a large fam
lily; more often it will be the So
pound sack. Any storage of flour in
excess of the consumers needs con-

The rule of the world is to 'looh
out for number one" Nothing could
be more antagonistic than this to the
teachings of Christ His greatest
doctrine, the underlying principle oi
all His words and deeds. was that ol
self-sacrifice, looking out for number
two. Therefore He has given us the
plain message that to save our lives
we must sacrifice them.
There is no help for It; the law
is eternal and ever-operative: II a
man loves his life he shall lose It,
Selfishness is death. The converse OF
the proverb that THE liberal sou
shall be made fat is equally true;
The selfish soul shall be made thin
When unselfshness ends, death be-
gins. The self f-centered person has
within him the germ of decay.
Call the roll OF the mighty men OF
God. Look closely into the life OF
each hero as he responds. Without
exception you will find that these
great ones like the elders about the
throne, are those who have come
through much tribulation. Are VIC
willing to follow in their train?
Sin never satisfies. All of its pleas
urers are ''for season." Then
comes remorse, to eat out the hear,
and to make the soul hate itself
There is no contentment in sin
Those who live in wickedenss mus
go from sin unto sin, seeking a de-
light that is never found until life's
direction is changed and the foot oi
the blood stained cross is reached.

WINNING THE WAR IN AIR

American aeroplanes enter the
world conflict at the crucial moment;
the deadlock that has for so long held
the world must be broken by attack
from the skies. That is the opinion
of Augustus w. Post, former Secre-
tary of the Aero Club of America,
writing in the Navy and Merchant
Marine" The heart of the Central
Powers is Essen enveloped in an OBJ
scuring canopy of smoke clouds
where the vast Krupp Works send
through the veins of Germany the life
blood of munitions. One aeroplane
could not destroy Essen, nor few
aeroplanes. but fleet of them, fleet
in numbers commensurate with the
vastness of this war, could beyond
the shadow of doubt blow the Essen
works into ruin, and accomplish more
than any other military operation.
Such is the opinion of the most cool
headed and practical experts, not
mere dreamers. 1t Is the opinion of
the business-like Orville Wright an
opinion shared by all who know the
situation of Germany in aeronautics.
The Central Powers no longer hold
supremacy of the air as for a time
they did. At present the best they
can do in output and equipment is
barely to hold their own and in the
even more important matter of pro-
viding aviators the long drain upon
the young manhood of Germany
where the mortality has been greatest
in the very classes from which avia-
tors must be recruited-has left her
at disadvantage.
The balance of power lies with
America-with the machines we can
furnish and the brilliant fiiers we are
turning out every hour. At the cruc-
ial moment of the worlds history, vic
tory hovers in the air, awaiting the
direction of American energy and the
command of American genius. And
when the victory has been won, and
America having vindicated her claim
! to stand among the champions of
democracy, goes back to her well won
peace, a new element will have come
into American life through the part
the nation will take in the campaigns

counted upon to persist until He has
taught us that He is God. The secret
of many hard experiences in life is
this; the Lord is trying to make us
understand His Godship.

Even Manasseh, the unspeakable, the
seducer of a nation. was heard and
forgiven. He did not get his deserts,
for none of us dare ask for justice;
he got the infinite mercy that resides
only with the Omnipotent. Nobody
but God would have heard and for
given him. 1t was characteristic of
the God of his fathers. The one who
made covenant with Abraham, He
heard Manassehs supplication, and
brought him again to Jerusalem, in
to his kingdom" So the story sig

How Gods Gets Even

OF all the follies of foolish man
the worst is to believe that he can
outwit God. That is one thing which
Jehovah can never permit. for it
would overthrow His throne of God
hood. If God is God he must reign.
He cannot be defied, or denied, or
defeated. His laws must prevail His
VIII must be done. That is why he is
strongest who plants his life on the
eternal principles. which have their
springs in the nature of the Infinite.
Justice is sure, because God reigns.
Mannasseh who was brought to
terms when he would give no heed to
warning-ah, the pitiful folly of the
wrong doers who are blind to their
own end!-for God cleaned up Judah
with the broom of Assyria. Many a
patient saint in Jerusalem cried aloud
in agony, How long, oh Lord, how
long!" before the wrongs of his time
were righted. just as many men have
worn out their hearts in bitterness,
while the financial and political evils
of our own time now crashing to
