THE Bible is the word of life.
1 beg that you will read it and find
this out for yourselves-read, not lit
passages that will really be the road
to the heart of it. You will find it
full of real men and women not
only but also Of the things you have
wondered about and been troubled
about all your life, as men have
been always; and the more you read
the more it will become plain to you
what things are worth while and
what are not, what things make men
happy, - loyalty, right dealing,
speaking the truth, readiness to give
erything that is low and mean.
duty, and, most of all, the wish that
they may have the real approval of
the Christ, who gave everything for
them,-and the things that are guar
anteed to make men unhappy,-sel-
fishness, cowardice, greed and ev-
erything that is low and mean.
When you have read the Bible you
will know that it is the Word of
God, because you will have found it
the key to your own heart, your own
happiness and your own duty.

The Scripture Gift Mission, which
is distributing this edition containing
the Presidents words. was founded
in 1888 for the purpose of dissent
mating the Scriptures in native Ian
guages throughout the world. The
society, however, has the right to
claim greater age than that, for it
absorbed in 1909 the oldest exist
ing British Bible Society. the Naval
and Military Bible Society, founded
in 1880. In 1915 it circulated more
than eight million copies of the
Scriptures and in 1916 more than ten
and a half millions. 1t is supported
solely by gifts of those who desire
to aid in circulating the Scriptures
Administration expenses are met by
special arrangement so that all gifts
for the work go directly to the
printing of the Scriptures, and dis
tribution is made by chaplains, col
porteurs, missionaries, Y. NJ. c. A
workers and other volunteer agen-
cies.

Made in Germany

Mr.. La Follette's preamble is un-
true, but its untruth plays into the
bloodstained, desperate. eager hands
of the German war party in squirting
the tagging spirit of the German
people to further resistance. His res
olutions, repugnant to the country,
have no chance of passage; yet they
have already served their purpose;
their introduction, in one sense vain,
is not vain to German war lords who
know how to magnify the station and
power of a senator, and make the
most of what is said here in his be-
half.
And what will be said here, and
by whom? Besides little dwindling
band of honest pacifists the resolu-
ton will win the praise of the pro-
German Socialist faction; of draft
dodgers and their war brides; of the
l. w. W.; of -plotters who have
blown American workmen limb from
limb to cripple war industries; of all
that malign crew which has burrow-
ed underground TO aid In sinking our
ships and numbering our citizens and
stirring up enmity in japan and
Mexico, and signaling the move-
ments of American troops for the
lurking torpedo. From all the enc
mics of the nation, open or conceal
ed, bought or born so, active or
inert, this counsel of confusion will
have support-and from these alone.
There is in Mr.. La Follette's bad
days work vein of sentiment lit
tie known in modern Prussianisrn.

GOOD ADVICE

EwSPAPER and magazine
nj writer's have been flooding the
- land with advice to young men
going into the army. Everything
from keeping the feet dry to bone
dry" habits has been touched upon
and one veteran of the Spanish
American war has written a book on
the subject, especially for the benefit
of the new recruit, and incidentally
we suppose, his own pocketbook. But
if anybody has confined so much
good sense in such brief space as
did Lyman D. Abbott in a recent is
sue of the Outlook, we have not
noted it.
DR.. Abbott's advice to the war re-
cruit is addressed not only to men
who don uniforms but to those of us
who, through force of circumstances,
are compelled to remain at home
Here is what he says:
We are all. young men and old
men, women and children, to
dedicate ourselves to the service
of our country. There is no. eX-
emption. The country enters upon
this war; not merely a profess
sional or a volunteer army for
the country. But what service
we can individually render and
how best render 1t are questions
to be answered.
You are called to the colors
and are going. 1. congratulate
you. You are to have a part in
the greatest task which has ever
been given to men. You may be
going to your death. What then?
Are we not all going to death?.
Is there any other possible end
to life's long campaign? I con-
gratulate your father and moth
er. They have brought you up
to be a soldier. They have endow-
ed you with the spirit of hero
ism and self-sacrifice. That Is a
great endowment. You will find
your best friends, but also your
worst enemies, in the camp. Be
armed with a high resolve to
keep your whole body, soul, and
spirit blameless. Take with YOU
as your constant companion the
One who has called you to fol-
low him in this great consecra-
tlon. "As he died to make men
holy. let US die to make men
free" Strong in his companion
ship. you will bring back to your
home here or carry forward to
your home beyond an unbroken
courage and q pure spirit

rheumatism is caused by poisonous

the blood. It is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless

If you want plenty of thick, beauti-
full, glossy, silky hair, do by all means
get rid of dandruff, for it will starve
your hair and ruin it if you don't.
1t doesn't do much good to try to
brush or wash it out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandruff is to dis
solve it, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night
when retiring; use enough to moisten
the scalp and rub it in gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every sim
gle sign and trace of it.
You will find. too. that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop. and
your hair will look and feel a hundred
times better. You can get liquid arvon
at any drug store. 1t is inexpensive
and four ounces is all you will need.
no matter how much dandruff you
have. This simple remedy never fails.
