The Slouchy Man

 Pepto-Mangan

The man. who walks with 8 slouch usually has heavy, dull expression on his face. The eyelids droop in a lazy, tanguid way and he goes around feel Ing dead tired most of the time. Bad blood, all clogged up with poisons from the system, makes a man feel that way.
 That man with bad blood has let himself get in a rundown condition. He has overdone somehow, either phy- sically by straining, trying to do too much, or mentally, by worrying, doing without sufficient sleep. He needs new blood. Guides Pepto-M Mangan taken in regular doses every day is just the right blood builder. It drives off all the poisons. It makes blood, rich and red. When the blood gets back to nor nal, the color improves and the eyes brighten. It braces a man up.

VALUATION OF A MAN
 IS SUBJECT OF DISCUSSION

Sunday at the r M c. A "get togeth- CT" for men very profitable hour was enjoyed. The usual l0-minute period for the opening exercises consisted of the singing of several of the more popular hymns. the reading of the scripture lesson end prayer.
 The topic for discussion was The Cor rect Valuation of a Man, and after Secre- tary Hill had opened the discussion sev- eral of the men present participated and following are some of the points brought out: The basis of the discussion was the passage of scripture "A mans life con- sisteth not in the abundance of things which he possesseth." In placing a valua on a man the common standards are them money. position and achievement Be- cause man is rich we say he is worth more than the poor man. The employer is thought to be more valuable than the employe. and the president. the captain of industry, the famous man. are termed great men, The average working man earns between sl00 and $500 a year and he is practically unknown, save in his immediate neighborhood; he is anything but prominent; his time check may be 202. A mans economic value as a worker is less than a house or machine. though he drives one and makes the other; he is really superior to both, though be does not possess the strength of either A mans real value. however. is found in a very different sphere. He is of value &C., cording as he recognizes his responsibili- ties to others and fulflls the same. He is of immense value to his friends and
 neighbors; If, he is the right sort of a man he is minister of kindness to those about him. If he is the man he should be. he Is simply indispensable to bis home, to his wife and children. to his
 mother and father; a father is the sup port of the family, not only In money
 matters but in morals as well He has a
 value to himself in his inner possibilitie,
 which if developed and maintained make,
 him a worth while factor to himself zi
 well as to others.
 A man is of eternal vaiue to Cod; h,
 is needed by the Almighty, who has ;
 place for him in His divine plan. and n,
 one save God knows what great possI
 bilities are wrapped up in every man. q
 only he enters into hearty cooperation
 with God No man should be conten
 with his present atta1nments or sattshet
 to remain on his present level Jesui said that He came that men might hay, life, and have 1t more abundantiy, ent that means that God has, so to speak. in vested Ills life in every man, and He hai right to expect proper dividends iron His most valuable investment. No ms, can measure up to his best and be of th highest possible value without the powe of Jesus Christ in his life. Where VI lack He will fIl the gap.
