AN AMATEUR.

'There," he said, pulling his shirt
sleeves over his brawny arms and sur
veying the clothes post which had
taken him the best part of the Satur-
day afternoon to fix in the garden !:
"that's as firm as rock. Even the
combined forces Of the elements cannot
bring it down."
Later in the day he found the pole
on the ground.
''Did you do this?" he roared to his
eight-year-old son.

YOU'LL LOOK 10 YEARS YOUNGER

Rid yourself of constipation and be q
new man or woman. Take Dr.. Kings
New Life Pills and expel the poisons
that weaken your system, foul your
blood and make you old before your
time. One or two at night will clear
your complexion, brighten your eyes
and give back the springy step of
youth. For health and happiness let
DR.. Kings New Life Pills do for you
what they have done for thousands.

Morning service theme, "saved by
Grace.'
Evening service theme, "The Choice
of Friends"
Wednesday evening, A Study of the
Second Psalm.
Far too many people are spending
their time mourning over things they
cannot help. More than half of the
worlds SORROWS are imaginary. We
have troubles enough and need not 60
out of our way to seek for things to
worry about. Today's burdens carried
bravely will make us strong enough to
bear well the cares Of the morrow.
"The firmest friendships have been
formed in mutual adversely, as iron is
most strongly united by the fiercest
flames" Let the troubles, the sor.
rows, the uncertainties Of today draw
you closer and closer to Him who will
bear for you the heavy end Of the load.
Let the troubles of the present bring
to you the greatest and. best Of all
friendships, the friendship Of Jesus
Christ. He said CT have called you
friends to His disciples" He will
speak that word of comfort and encour-
agement to you now if you will let
Him.

pledge card campaign was interesting

pledge card campaign was interesting
because numbers piled up.
| We may lose this war before we arc
fairly in it, simply on the basis of The
food shortage of the world. With ths
shipping shortage and the food short
going to get through, and still be at
war next summer. You can't sit down
and demonstrate it. You have got to
recognize that practically the only food
that we can send to the allies is the
| food that we dom t eat, and the only
| way to save that food is not to eat it
and the only effect you can get to
bring that about is mental psychoio-
gical effect. You can't seize the food
away from the people. You have got
to control action through the minds OF
the people, and you have got to get at
them in every possible way.
One of the most difficult things ever
presented to a person was to try to
change the habits of life time, to get
man to stop drinking or to get him
to stop eating something that he likes
even though it gave him the stomach
ache every time he ate it. You ask
hundred million people to change,
within the course of few months,
their eating habits, and you demand
something that is absolutely vital, but
il is the most difficult thing that you
could ask of a people.
If the food administration only plays
the tune of prices that is the only tune
they will get back. If the food ad-
ministration gets so that it is entirely
dependent upon prices for its success,
ii is failure; it is on the rocks. The
effective tune is the tune of service.
the tune of patriotism, or the war viii
be lost.
There is one thing about food work
that is different from other kinds of
work, and that is that it is hard to Wis
ualize the results actually obtained.

service, and after weeks work there
are SO many sweaters, SO many socks,
so many bandages rolled, and tae per-
son who has served visualizes that ser
vice, and sees what she has done.
You must realize that the women Of
this country are knitting, and when peo-
pie knit they think. And the women
Of this country are thinking as they
never thought before, because their
boys and their husbands, their sur
roundings, have been thrown into the
war, and when a million women or ten
million women begin to think about
problem, when women have reached the
position they have in this country, they
are going to do a great deal.
You must keep the women thinking
right and realizing that this work 'of
food conservation is their work to a
large e>:ent. Everyone must be brought
to think "This is my food administra-
ton >
This lob of food conservation is nne
of the biggest men, the biggest group
of men you can get.

Tested Practical Plans

Gordon-Van Tine do more than merely
sell the necessities for home construction.
They plan every home complete; then
work it out in practical way by watch
ing the actual building; then refine the
plan both for cost and convenience until
they know to a certainty it is impossible
to build that particular style of house any
better anywhere.
This is all part of sound, construc-
tive business policy. Gordon-Van Tine
can trace its origin in Davenport back
over half a century in an unbroken line
And during all that time, the owners of
the business have unfalteringly adhered
to definite, rigid Standards They have
always insisted on square dealing with
customers, a fulfilling of all promises
made and an honest, binding guarantee
of satisfaction.
