A WARNING

Editor, Pensacola Journal
Dear sir: A. c. Gaebelein, editor
and publisher of "Our Hope a month
ly magazine, a testimony for our
Lord Jesus Christ: in the March num-
Der, says:
I'VE are told that certain factories
work day and night to turn out "Ouija
boards by which thousands of peo-
pie, among them vast numbers of
church members practice divina-
tions, ask the supposed dead, and get
information from mysterious outside
forces. We are told that this board,
or planchette was known in China
over 1900 years ago, and that the
heather of that land filled with
demon possessions used it in the
same way as it is used throughout
Chrfstiandom today. Other pagan ma
tions had similar devices to hold COM
munion with demons. Perhaps if we
knew the details of the vile practices
of the Cannanites, against which the
Lord warned his people, we would
find that they also possessed an in
strument of this nature. Spiritism Is
nothing new. 1t was known in Egypt
and Babylon, and these demon powers
had definite part in the moral cor
ruption of these and other ancient
nations.
A New York daily had recently an
article on this evil. We quote:
Ever since the publication Of a
certain novel said to have been writ
ten by a woman at the dictation OF
the ouija board at the rate of so many
thousand words an hour, we have
been beset by a spreading and deepen
ing cult of the ouija board.
seThere seems to be no limit to what
the ouiia board, or the pyschic forces
lurking behind it, win do for an author
or merchant, or a professiosal man or
x,ornan Matters have come to such
nass that members of the faculty
oF the University OF Michigan have
found it necessary to issue a solemn
warning to their students, both men

of consulting the ouija board on all
matters Of life

on all sides, but through these occult
practices they will become ere long
the universal thing. Christian parents
must warn and watch their sons and
daughters, for the young are espe-
cially susceptible OF these horrible
things. The many books which are
published today, stories, and maya
zine articles which exploit the occult
should not be tolerated in Christian
homes. nor supported by Christians in
any manner. But what shall we say
when so-called publishers of Chris
-tian literature advertise and sell
these books?

PRAISES HARDINC'S
WELFARE PROGRAM

Senator Harding's address on social
justice in which he proposed a Federal
Department of Public Welfare, is the
longest step and practicable proposal
yet taken by any man of official re.
sponsibility," declares Hon. Simeon D
Fess, representative In Congress from
Ohio.
His program goes directly to the
core of the problem and demands pro.
lection, first, of motherhood, by safe,
guarding maternity, then of childhood,
by proper legislation, and through
these, the national health against In.
vasion of disease through low stand
ards of morals and commercial az
gression of industry, which exposes to
epidemics," he said. HE recognizes
social justice not as a woman's prob
lem, but as a general problem, In
which women play a larger part
Hence, his specific demands that won.
en- be placed on various boards, Fed
eral and State, which have to deal
with problems of employment, labor
adjustment and wherever national
nealID is 10 De uel6rInlueu. 1ulS COu-
Germ must extend to women in agri-
culture, as well as industries.
Senator Harding's sound common
sense prevents his dealing in general
theories at the expense of practical
results. Alive to the dangers of
bureaucracy, against which he warns,
he asks for a reorganization of our de-
partments at Washington which will
be one of his earliest tasks, and rec
ommends the creation of a department
of Public Welfare, to have directions
of the problem of social justice. This
will prevent duplication of agencies
by %unifying a half dozen bureaus now
doing a haphazard work into n re-
sponsible and responsive department
of the government. This step carries
a program of social justice from the
stage of theoretical speculation to
that of practical execution, and the
country can expect immediate action
along practical lines"

DAIRY
FACTS
PREVENT MILK PLANT WASTE
Managers and Employers of Dairy
Establishment Should Work to
Avoid Spolage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
A quart of milk wasted now is
about twice the loss ii was few years
ago, and the financial loss, though
great, is even less serious than the
waste of this essential food. Managers
and employees of market milk estab-
lshments should take every possible
precaution to prevent waste. Here are
a few suggestions along this line:
To Prevent Milk Waste.
Keep the shrinkage as low as pos
sible by close attention to leaks,
spillage and stopping.
Avoid milk piping as much as poSsi-
Bile, since considerable milk will stick
to pipes ut the end Of the run.
Have milk watts so that they can be
drained readily.
Drain cans and all containers well
after dumping the milk.
To Save Fuel and Ice.
Utilize exhaust steam wherever pos
sfble for heating the building and pro-
vidihg hot water for various dairy OPP
eratiOns. tH
Avoid extra steam piping by proper
arrangement Of rooms, thus avoiding
losses due to condensation Of steam.
Keep steam valves and joints well
packed.
Keep doors of refrigerator room
closed. Do not work in refrigerator
more than necessary and do not leave
lights on.
~ To Save Labor.
Avoid use Of milk pumps wherever
possible by adopting the gravity-how
system. Extra labor is required for
cleaning pumps.
Avoid unnecessary labor by convent
ent arrangement of equipment and
rooms and through use of labor-saving
devices.
Other points which deal principally
with mechanical topics are included in
the recommendation, all of which have
