 Washington, May H.-Baptists minis- ters of the south were insured against want in their declining days when they have outlived their usefulness to the church by the Southern Baptist conven- ton today which adopted the recommen- dations of it's relief and annuity board presented by Dr. William Lunsford of Dallas, Tex, providing an annuity for rfeachers when they reach the age of re- tirement.
 In a forceful argument for the adoption of the boards plan Dr. Lunsford de- clared, ''when a man has given his life tc the ministry and has come to the point of retirement he should not want for the necessities of life"
 The convention must see that it's preachers are provided with adequate support during their active service that tEey and their families may live in keep ing with the dignity of their office, Dr. Lunsford asserted
 Dr. John E. White of Anderson, S. C., and Dr. s. ]. Porter of Oklahoma City, made eloquent pleas for the adoption of the relief measure.
 At the suggestion of Dr. B. C. Henn- ing of Murfreesboro, Tenn, the conven- tion directed its president, Dr. Gambrelk to appoint a committee to attend the memorial services to be held in Alex afidria, Va, Sunday in honor of Jeremiah Moore, a pioneer Baptist of George Wash ngton's time, who fought the battle for religious liberty in George Washing tons home city" and laid the founda-

 Claims Mother
 Now We'll Again!
Wn1. Shirley of 1776 Main Street Testified Several Weeks Ago That Cinot Had Relieved
 His Mother.

It was only two weeks ago that William Shirley of 1776 Main street reported that CHNOT- had worked miracles with his mother in her case of rheumatism but MT. Shirley has again returned to the Hartigan Drug Store, S1 Fairfield avenue. where the CINOT Expert is introducing this Herbal Tonic and now says that his m other is completely cured and that she is greatly pleased over her sue cess and wants to extend credit where credit is due.
 Mrs. Shirley had been falling for some time and had complained re- peatedly to her son. Everything pos sfble was done to relieve her of her suffering, but with no apparent suc- cess. She had sick headaches and bladder trouble. At night Mrs. Shirley could not sleep at all and it began to look doubtful if Mrs. Shirley would 1 be long with us. She was terribly con- | stipated and had backaches that made 1 life a reign of misery.
 'fBut,'' said MT Shirley, "I am sure l glad to come back the second time 1 and tell you again what we think of CINOT and the great relief that 1t has given my mother. Her bladder trouble is a thing of the past and at
 night she sleeps like a baby. It sure l is wonderful and just can hardly be- 1 lieve that my mother Is herself again 1 Of course the proof only is to look ali
 her and you can see that she Is re- | juvenated.''
 l Don't spare any words in telling | everyone what we think of this tonic
 I want to go down on record. My
 mother feels that there is great as- sistance that she ought to perform for
 all sufferers as sf was and wants you
 to use her name to tell people where
 to go to prove that CINOT ha put her
 on her feet again.

UNCLE sAMs MONEY BAGS.

The correction of exchange with western Europe need not wait a moment upon ratification. Neither the need nor the solvency of those countries turns upon the character of our Treaty Ratification. Final peace will hasten recovery in central Europe, but it's effects will be of real and immediate aid to Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria Jugoslavia can come only through generous public loans. To raise the funds for such loans will take time, more than will probably be, consumed in ratify- ing the Treaty. Why are we delay ing about it? Those nations and their needs exist: their boundaries are not to be determined by our sen ate, nor the indemnities they are to pay or receive. Do we fear that reparation commissions will permit the conf1scation for other use of the proceeds of loans we make specifi- cally for purposes of rehabilitation That is to impute the deepest dis honor to our Allies. No; if we re- fuse to help Europe, if we delay about it, let us admit frankly that 1t is because we care only for our selves Let us admit that humanity and honor count for little in the mo- lives that rule our international pol fcy.-The New Republic.

CHEMISTRY AS A PROFESSION.
 There is a great variety of indus
 trial work also for the chemical eX-
 pert who Is not an engineer. There
 are many positions in routine andy
 sis filled chiefly by young men with
 not much chemical training or by
 chemists who have a particular hk-
 ing for the work. Salaries for this
 routine testing work ran from S60 to
 $250 a month. A man may advance
 from such work if he has executive
 ability. There are many such posi- tions in general chemical laborato-
 ries, manufacturing pharmaceutical, metallurgical and sugar laboratories and in various other fields. Such other work is valuable for chemists
 in training and furnishes college e1l- penses and good experience for stu dents still in school.
 It is as heads of research depart l ments in large industrial plants that some of the best opportunities arc found. Salaries of from s10.000 to $14,000 a year are being paid today for such work. An equally attractive | opportunity is that of becoming . consulting chemist. The man who can make himself a supreme au- l thority in any single field can com mand a. prince1y income.
