MON,EY-GOD MADNESS

A look, aEound the universe, and what

A world devoid of happiness, a world
filled with dismay;
A world wherein the populace adores
the God of Greed
And fails to recollect the One who
serves it in its need.
All, "Leve thy neighbor as myself
how much this is abused,
And how contrariwise we go in all
the methods used
To gain that wealth which all of US
must surely leave behind.
We sacrificed our better selves, too
late, we sometimes find.
The Golden Rule, that good old rule,
of that we take no heed;
In times like these, we ague, our aims
it would impede.
The good old times when money
wasn't everything on earth,
You will concede were better times
more happiness, more mirth.
The mad desire for worldly power has
led us all astray,
The money-god has hold of US and
leads us on his way. ..
Take heed, this good old world Of
ours has better things than pelf-
The good will of your neighbor, less
interest in yourself. .
What say you of the empires, the
thrones across the sea,
What say you of the kingdoms and
their rulers? List to me:

long section supports the body, the
tached to each other by hinge-like
members, providing a raised support
for the forehead of a person lying
face downward.
According to this woman inventor,
the prone position relieves blood pres

the brain. Lie face downward, with
your forehead on ledge and you viii
surely go to sleep, says Miss Darling
1t has been found that this position
eliminates the persistent distressing
and sometimes injurious coughing in

In little while you become drowsy;
whereupon you put back the mattress,

CANNING-HOUSE TOMATO SEED
ARE DANGEROUS FOR PLANTING

fruits that they reduce the yield and
quality of the crop.
Land adjoining some canning houses
where refuse from wilt-infected to-
matoes has been dumped has occorne
so full of the wilt-producing fungus
that a crop of tomatoes cannot be
grown on it. Seed saved from such
tomatoes would not only carry disease
but it would also mix with seed from
good tomatoes. Moreover, disease
bearing particles from the wilt-infected
tomatoes would adhere to good seed.
Both the diseased seed and the seed
carrying disease germs on its surface
would carry disease into the seed bed
and field.
This method of distributing disease
organisms to seed in the canning
house is not limited to the wilt dis
ease.

Miss Edith Strauss, in charge of

Dos and Don'ts which she wishes

some of the Dos:
Put aside part of your income for
future use.
Make every penny buy a penny's
worth of something really needed.
Invest wisely.
Use what money buys with care.
Do figure out what each item of
the family expenditures require; rent,
food, heat, lighting, clothing, school,
charity, doctor, pleasure, etc.
Pay as you buy.
Pay bills monthly.
Set your own standards.
Buy only what you have the monev
to pay for.

Auto is King

America makes nine-tenths of all

day. It is only few years since the
best cars We're made in Europe, but
row we send our cars to 1873 different
countries, including Iceland. 1t is no
wonder that you can scarcely cross a
street or road in the country without
lodging an automobile, for last year
nearly two million cars were turned
out in the United States, which makes
about seven million cars regularly
registered in this country. In few
years it is believed there will be nearly
twice as many. There are more cars
to the population in Nebraska and
Iowa than any other place in the
world, or one for every six and half
persons.
