The Growing Child
The Skin
KEEP HIM WELL
L. S. Public Health Service.

TT HE skin is one OF the principal
organs of excretion. The body
in its life activity is constantly
forming waste products somewhat
as nre forms ashes in the process OF
burning. The kidneys and the liver
the lungs and the skin. all play
a part in getting these wastes out
OF the system.
In the case of the skin. there are
millions OF little pockets called
sweat glands. which have this work
TO do. for the sweat is a ~atery
extract or the waste products OF
the body.
Another of the very important
things which the skin does for us
Is TO help regulate the body tenn
perature. 1t does this by automatic
changes in the size OF the blood
vessels OF the skin and by changes
in the amount OF sweat
When IL is hot outside. the skin
blood vessels expand and carry a
larger amount of blood through the
skin to be cooled on, while the
sweat is discharged freely and cools
the body by its evaporation. When
IL is cold the bio ID vessels contract
and keep the blood in the inner
parts OF the body, while the sweat

CLOTHING.
Clothing should be warm enough
to protect the body from undue
chill but IL IL is too worm il
makes one dull and sleppy and
weakens the machinery for tenn
perature regulation in the skin.
People who bundle up too warmly
catch cold more often than those
who dress too lightly, although the
body must always be protected from
sudden chills and cold to which it
is unaccustomed.
Woolen clothes are good for cold
weather because they are porus and
hold a good deal of air, which is
a poor conductor of heat, and be-
cause they take up moisture read

chill after exercise has made the
sweat flow. Cotton clothing is cool

BATHING.
Warm baths increase the size of
the blood vessels in the skin and

cold baths regularly are likely to
be harder and much less Sub1ect to

In the matter OF bathing. as In
that OF clothing. we must remember
that the body should be stimulated
by cold. but not chilled too much.
A cold bath should be followed by a
reaction. the blood vessels Of the

VI "oriO- "ioc TOpuaEity.
EkT>HE situation in the early
Christian Church is now
a matter of history, and
he who runs may read. The first
churches, like those of Corinth
and Ephesus and Rome, were de-
mocracies; no such thing as a
priestly line to carry on a hier-
archy, an ecclesiastical dynasty,
was dreamed of. 1t may be gath
cred from the gospels that such an
idea was so far from the mind of
Christ that his mission was to set
at naught just such another hier-
archy, which then existed in Israel.
The Apostles were no more bishops
than was John the Baptist, but
preachers who travelled from place
to place. like Paul. The congrega-
tions, at Rome and elsewhere, elect
ed their own presbyteri, episcopal
or overseers. 1t is, to say the least.

$50 far as l can see, the dilemma
in which our congregation finds it
self is this: We want to know what
there is in Christianity that we can
lay hold Of. We should like to be-
lieve, but, as George says, all our
education contradicts the doctrines
that are most insisted upon. We
don't know where to turn. We
have the choice of going to people
like George, who know a great deal
and don't believe anything, or to
clergymen like Mr.. Holder, who de-
mand that we shall violate the .rea-

Avoid Diphtheria

A sore throat is good breeding place
for Diphtheria germs. Protect your chill

You can wisely depend upon TONSI-
LINE. Give Tonsiline upon the first ap-
pearance of Sore Throat give
Diphtheria a chance in that throat in its
weakened condition. When TONSI-
LINE is swallowed it comes directly in
contact with the diseased surface X
and induces a healthy condition eI1

tenn can better defend the throat

SYMPATHY AND ADVICE
FOR "DOwNHEARTED.,

was attracted by letter signed
Downhearted." At one time, in
fact q few months ago, I was in
the same shoes as your lady friend
is now. 1t came to my knowledge
that my flance had been married.
and as it was told me. had gotten
no divorce. Imagine how / felt,
when he had never intimated that
he was other than a single man.
i. however. wanted the story from
him and asked him to the house
that very morning. OF course. out
side people seldom get information
straight because of carelessness in
repeating, ard 1 found that my
friend had his divorce (he showed
1t to mel and that his wife had
been untrue while he was in

would have told me before we mar
ried. but put it or because he was
afraid l might turn him down on
hnding he had been married. How
ever, 1 didn't as / loved him too
well by that time.
My advice to "downhearted"
would be this: Have perfectly
frank talk with your fiancee tell
her everything. I don't know what
her opinion ona divorce is. but IL
she does stick to you, she'll love
you better than ever for your
frankness. If you don't tell her.
she'll be bound to find it out some
time, and then how much con-
fidence will she have in you?
Your first wife fooled you: don't
you fool the girl you love, and IL
you really love her. you'll be fair
enough to tell her
/ am not married as yet, but II
seems to me that the fact that
marriage was instituted by God 10
sufficient evidence that IL is sue
cess. II 1t proves a failure in some
cases, II is the fault of the con-
tracing parties. 1 do not presume
to lay down any hard and fast
rules. but my fiance and / have
found 1t best to be perfectly frank

Directed by Albert Capellan

In one Of our large Western
cities the invasion of factories and
the rush of new business drive the
old-established and wealthy fami-
lies toward the outskirts. The
fashionable st. Johns Church, the
pride Of the city, in which the ven
cradle DR.. Gilman has preached,
finds itself isolated and in need of
a new pastor to lift the burden
from aged shoulders. The new
man, Rev. John Holder. is dis
cussed by the Waring family after
one of his first sermons, and the
opinion is that he will be conserva-
tive and efficient.
