NEW FACES FOR OLD.

The American Red Cross has under
taken varied tasks. These range from
darning the socks Of the soldiers to
making new faces for those disfgured
by war. Mrs. Ladd, the wife of DIR.
Ladd, now doing service in Red Cross
hospitals abroad, is working In her
Paris studio making masks to cover
disdgured faces. A photograph Of the
soldier showing how he looked before
being wounded Is obtained and then a
mask Of copper or silver is made to re-
semble 1t and replace the part that Is
gone. This is made as lifelike as pos

The contribution made by the pro-

following:
Reports compiled by the q. s. De-
partment Of Agriculture indicate an
increase in cattle Of 10,238000 head
and 12,441 900 hogs. These figures
were compiled to January / last.
In this period there was decrease
In sheep OF $4,000 head. The indica-
lions are that this decrease will show
an increase, according to recent re-
ports.
Since January / unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase In hogs Of
not less than s per cent. and not
more than 15 per cent. as compared
with one year ago, with an increase la
the average weight.
Following the request of the q. 8.
Food Administration for an increase
In hog production for marketing In the
fall OF 1918 and the spring OF 1919 the
increase may yield not less than 1,60e,-
10000 pounds more OF pork products
than were available last year. With
out this increase the shipping program
arranged by Mr.. Hoover regarding an

The dressed hog products during the

while for the corresponding months OF

brethren to test them and bring them
to repentance. So Christ will do with
the Jews Hosea SIG, Ezekiel 22:19-
%. AS Joseph's love was behind his
harsh exactings, SO back Of Christ's
treatment of the Jews will be his great
love for them.
II. Joseph's Efforts to Assuage the
Grief Of His Brethren wv. 4-8).
When Joseph revealed himself to his
brethren, the remembrance of their
sins pierced them through. Josephss
first question was about his father.
This shows that his desire was to put
their thoughts far away from their
crime. He invited them to come near
unto him, and assured them God had
overruled their crime in sending him
for their salvation. They meant it for
evil, but 1t was, part Of Gods plan for
good This does not excuse them from
the guilt Of the sin. In some future
time Christ will become reconciled to
his brethren, the Jews, and be their
Savior and benefactor (Isaiah IL 10.
16). Peter. on the dag Of Pentecost,
showed that the JewS treatment OF
Christ was such. and that Gods over.
ruling providence had turned 1t out
for good. Just as Egypt was obliged
to come to Joseph for sustenancs and
become servants for Pharaoh through
