Thomas j. Mooney, in whose behalf the

resolutions had been examined by the
80 members of the committee and a larg-

Nolan was confident the conservation

Easy to Make This
Pine Cough Remedy
Thousands Of families swear by its
prompt results. Inexpensive,
Rnd saves about 81.

You know that pine is used in nearly
oil prescriptions and remedies for coughs.
The reason is that pine contains several
peculiar elements that have a remark
able effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine is famous for this purpose.
Pine cough syTups are combinations Of
pine and syrup. The syrup" part is
usually plain graduated sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put 212 ounces OF
Pinex in pint bottle, and fill up
with homemade sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make a full pint--more
than you can buy ready-made for three
times the money 1t is pure, good and
very pleasant-children take ID eagerly.
You can feel this take hold Of cough
or cold in way that means business,
The cough may be dry, hoarse and tight,
or may be persistently loose from the
formation Of phlegm. The cause is the
same-infamed membranes--and thia
Pinex and Syrup combination will stop
it--usually in "a hours or less. Spleen
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat aitment.
Pinex is highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
and is famous the world over for its
prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware of substitutes. Ask your drug
gist for "2lh ounces OF Pinex" with
directions, and don't accept anything
else Guaranteed to give absolute sat
isfaction or money promptly refunded.

A drop or two Of liquid glue on the end
of shoe laces where the metal ends have

Roll them between the thumb and fore

An orange sauce for various kinds of
puddings that is well liked is made as
follows: cup boiling water, table
spoonful corn starch, small orange,
little sugar. Dissolve the corn starch in
a little cold water, add to the boiling
water and cook three minutes. Add
juice of one orange. If the orange is
very sweet, add also one teaspoon lemon
juice. Sweeten to taste, but sparingly,
as the sauce should be acid enough to
lend piquancy.

WORRY ABOUT SOMETHING
ELSE, BOYS.

A whole great big heap of hot
air is being wasted over the
question Of what Germany's fu-
ture is likely to be. The Peace
Treaty has undertaken to see to
it that Germany shalEnot be able
to become a menace to the world
again soon. But there is al
ways the admission that she
might do it in the far distant
future. And, of course, from
the human standpoint that
might be SO. No statesman
could have predicted the things
that have happened lately, and
ne. statesman. can predict what
might happen in the future.
But those Of us who have a
better guide than craftsmanship
are not worrying about such
matters. Some of us poor ig-
norant ''heretics" are permitted
to know that neither Germany.
nor any Of the other nations
will cut much of a caper in rul-
ing the world from now on.
There is going to be a new Rul-
ing Power that will not consult
Germany nor the Allies nor any
OF the rest Of them, and they
will all be just as helpless in His
hands as a leaf in a Whirlwind.

STILL TUGGING AT THEIR
BOOT-STRAPS.

There are some elements in
the worlds political life that
would like to do good. But
they can't. They waste a heap
of energy, but they get no
where.
1t seems to me that the good
and evil forces Of the world just
about cancel each other. The
good is. strong enough to keep
the world from getting much
worse, and the bad is strong
enough to keep it from getting
any better.
And so if any progress is to be
made in the right direction, it
is a clear case that some new
Power must be introduced.
Some people will say that. the
League of Nations is the new
Power that will lift us out of
the mire and start us out on the
firm highway of Righteousness.
But / don't think SO.
The League Of Nations is just
one more of mans efforts to lift
himself by his boot-straps. It's
failure. is just as certain as any
thing in this world ever can be.
Man will have to take his fingers
out of his boot-straps and
reach his puny hands up to God
for help before he ever gets out
of his present predicament.
A hundred OF so of the world S
greatest statesmen, backed UP
by a thousand OF so of the
worlds greatest experts, have
been at work for about SIX
months on a Peace Treaty and :
League of Nations Covenant
And in the $4,000 words that
they have finally adopted there
does not appear the name Of the
Deity nor any reference to
Higher Power. IF ever a set O.
men did deliberately slap God il
the face, those men at Paris
have done it.
And when you ask me to be
lieve that such a piece Of busi
ness will succeed you are ask
ing just d little too much. |
may SEEM to succeed for a lit
tie while, and there may be a lit
tie spelIof patched-up peace
But every pillar under it will b
powder-keg, and it will only b
a matter of weeks till it blow
up. Just about the time the,
get to crying Peace and safety
right big, then sudden destruc
ton will come upon them.
To be sure, Peace and Safet
are coming, and that befor
long, but they are not comm
that way.

God told Abraham that his
seed should multiply and become
as the sands of the sea, so that
no man could number them.
Now we are in the habit of
thinking Of the Jews as the on
ly children Of Abraham but they
have been numbered and their
number is about thirteen mil
lion. A very small number COM
pared to the rest of the worlds
population. It must be a fact
that somebody else is the seed
of Abraham and don't know it.
What if it turns out to be us in
America and the other English
speaking countries? What if we
are among those who will consti-
tute the restored Kingdom of Is
rael. It is worth thinking

deal Of light on things that are

A SERMON ON LIFE AND
DEATH.

Well, howdy, as the gal said.
How do you all come on by this
time? Are your appetites get
ting in tune for some more ser
mons? All right, you shall
have them.
And now, honey, what do you
understand the world LIFE to
mean, anyhow? Some folks say
one thing and some another, but
I want to know what YOU think
about it. And then, with your
kind permission, [ am going to
cut loose and tell you what /
think.
When you have good light
burning in your room at night,
there is no darkness in that
room>
And the darkness cannot come
in until the light goes out.
Blow out the light and see
what happens.
There!
The light is gone.
Where did it go to?
Did you see it go out through
the door or window and move off
to some distant place where it
will still be light?
Could you follow the light
that went out of your room ano
find it still lighting up the place
where it went to?
| And did you see square bloch
Of darkness come in from the
outside and fill the room?
No, of course not.
And person with ordinary
sense knows that nothing lef
the room and that nothing en-
tered the room.
Then what made such ;
change in the appearance?
Simply this:
The lamp which had been gen
Grating the light was suddenl,
made to cease generating it, AM
there was no reserve supply Of
hand. The light was being use,
just as fast as it was bein!
made. Consumption was keep
ing right jam up with produc
ton, and the very instant tha
. production stopped Of cours
consumption had to stop, too.
The result was:
A condition Of LACK, and tn
, LACK manifested itself in jus
the opposite way from what tn
SUPPLY did.
Darkness is not THING Q
OBJECT having any parts Q
properties of its own.
It is merely the ABSENCE c
LIGHT.
Light and Darkness are direc
e OPPOSITES, and they cannC
e both exist in the same place 8
t once.
8 Now listen to me:
! What | have said about Ligk
: and Darkness is a perfect illus
: tration Of Life and Death.
i Life and Death are direct OF
IPOSITES.
Good news. [volume] (Boomer, N.C.) 1917-1919, 1919-05-01

They are just as opposite as
Light and Darkness.
They are just as opposite as
White and Black.
They are just as opposite as
Hot and Cold.
And there is no way in the
world that they can be swapped
around and one be made to an
sWer to the name Of the other.
Is But there has somehow got
ten to be a fool notion in the
minds of nearly everybody that
these DIRECTLY OPPOSITE
things are not OPPOSITE at all.
They will tell you that when
mans life goes out of his body
and he SEEMS to be dead, he is
not dead at all, but really more
alive than before.
They think that the mans
life has merely left his body and
gone off on a long journey to
heaven or somewhere, and that
it is still living and knowing
things wherever it is.
By the same process of reas-
Joining we would have to believe
that the light of a lamp (when
you blow it out)merely goes off
to some other place, and that
you could follow it and find it
lstill lighting up the place where
lit went to.
! There is just as much sense
in the one as in the other.
/ There is just as much sense in
saying that a black man is white
as there is in saying that dead
man is alive.
The natural processes of the
physical body generate and sus-
tain life just exactly in the same
way that the burning of the
lamp generates and sustains
light.
The life will remain in the
body just as long as the genera
ting machinery continues tx
function properly; but the very
minute that machinery breaks
down and quits producing life
the life stops.
The reason it stops is that tn,
: supply is exhausted.
There is not any reserve sup
ply of life on hand that mus
now go off and hunt some othe
, place to live.
But here they come with thei
fool questions:
) IF a mans life just goes ou
/ like a lamp and ceases to exis
: when he dies, how can God re
store it in the resurrection ?"
|. You idiot! How can you ligh
{ your lamp again after it 'ha
been blown out?
f Our lives are just little lamps
anyhow, and if God can ligh
t them in the first place, VIII
t can't he light them again?

canny Scot Makes Christmas Selection.

Nearly everyone has heard the tale
Of the cigar dealer, who, with the
Christmas spirit working within him,
invited all the customers in his shop
on Christmas Eve to have a cigar.
When he asked them to make their
selection, all took cigars or cigarettes
except one Scotchman who said; "I'll
take dime out of the TILL"
Many an unjust story is unloaded
upon the Scotch but most people feel
about other Christmas gifts as the
Scotchman felt about the cigar. He
didn't smoke cigars and did not want
one but he did want the gift. We
want and value the expression of
friendship and good will and affection
that Christmas gifts carry but many
times we do not want the non useful
and inappropriate and ill-considered
gifts selected to carry that expression.
The possibility OF that feeling in
others should influence the selection
of every Christmas gift. At this time,
when the country and every citizen is
facing period of reconstruction and
economic change, it is both duty
and privilege to select useful and
appropriate gifts, gifts which will add
to the well-being and prosperity Of
the individual and the country as we'll
as to the pleasure Of both giver and
receiver.
Such gifts are not far to seek. Gov
ernment saving securities answer to
every such requirement.. They will
be appreciated as much next July as
on Christmas morning. Ranging in
price as they do from the rs cent
Thrift Stamp, the $5 War Savings
Stamp and the 800 and $1,000 Treasury
Savings Certificate they accommodate
themselves to any purse,
They carry in addition to their in
trinsic value and their surety of profit
the impulse to Thrift, a gift which is
priceless both to the individual, the
community and the nation. When
you select them as gifts, you can be
sure the recipients would not rather

A Word to Disabled Soldiers.

Every man who was In the military
or naval service of the United States
during the late war, and who on
account of such service is not physical
ly fitted to engage at once in gain
full occupation should at once notify
the Bureau of War Risk Insurance in
Washington, d. G.
Under the law this Bureau is charged
with providing for service men dis
charged because of disability incurred
in active service in the line of duty,
compensation and free medical treat
rnent until such time as they are re-
stored to physical fitness. During the
summer of 1918 there was q general
combing out Of the military training
camps of the country in an effort to
bring up the standard of physical fit
ness, and many men discharged at
that time may be unaware of their
rights under an act of Congress to
pensation for disability and med
ical attention and hospital treatment
where necessary. All cases of this or
like nature should be brought i'm
mediately to the attention OF the Bur-
eau ofWar Risk Insurance.
