chow EXCELLENT is THY NAME"

The Eighth Psalm reads as follows. Note the
beauty of the language
in all the earth! Who has set thy glory above
the heavens Out of the mouths of babes and
stockings hast thou ordained strength because OF
thine enemies, that thou mghtests still the enemy
and the avenger.
when | consider thy heavens, the work of thy
fingers, the moon and the stars which thou has,
ordained; what is man that thou art mindful OF
him. and the son of man that thou visitest hiro
For thou hast made him little lower than tie
angels and hast crowned him with glory and
honor Thou madest him to have dominion over
the work of thy hands; thou hast put all things
under his feet; all sheep and oxen, yea, and the
beasts of the field The fowl of the air, and the
fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through
the paths of the seas. o Lord, our Lord, how
excellent is thy name in all the EARTH"

the climax of the opera LA Vivanders," in
Paris except two soldiers. The crowd had COM

showing an empty right sleeve and the other an

HEALTHFUL FOODS.
Discussed by DR.. E. v. McCollum at New
Century Club

Dr.. E. V. McCollum Of Johns Hopkins
hospital, at lecture in the New Century
Club Yesterday afternoon gave many
worthwhile pointers on the human body.
DR.. McCollum, a nutrition expert, claims
the human body should have quart Of
milk day, as well as green leaf vegetables.
The healthiest people he claimed, were
in the Isle of Lewis. in the British Isles.
The people on this isle are so poor and
primitive that they have no chimney to
their huts and the chickens pigs and hogs
walk IN and out the novels together.
He pointed out that there were certain
substances needed for bodily consump-
tion. and If one OF these was insufficient
the health must suffer He deplored the,
tendency Of the civilized people TO live
on meats, bread and potato diet. The
noted expert told how he had expert
mented with animals, giving them diet of
cereals. peas, beans, tuberous or fieshy
roots and lean meat and found the animals
IN a weak and lean condition, and how,
BY suppIementing little milk and butter
fat. these same animals had come TO be in
short time the pink Of perfection.
DR. McCollum gave some special advice
70 mothers and the women present were
intensely interested in the lecture.

Ore seldom meets a housewife now-a-
days who is ashamed to show hands that
show signs and stains Of toll. But for all
that the housewife should give come
thought 10 the care of her hands. Some
times women who do all their own work,
washing and scrubbing Included have
hands in better condition than other
housewives who merely give 4 little help
TO maids and cleaning women who do all
the heavy work II Is largely a matter Of
the way they work, although the texture
and quality Of the skin he's something
10 do with il. La general hands that
are fairly plump withstand the effects
of housework better than those that lack
fat. A little fat seems 70 work wonders IN
preserving the whiteness ard texture Of
the skin
Most fatal to any hands, however, IS
the habit Of exposing them 70 very cold
air when they are wet Hence It IS most
important TO get into the habit of drying
the hands thoroughly after washil (
dishes, scrubbing or washingclothes 1t Is
important too to have pair of gloves TO
slip on when taking clothes from the
lire OF putting them on the line. Very
large washable gloves of the sort that
masors wear are desirable as they may
be kept clean, which is desirable when
using them to handle clean clothes
Though not very warm they afford the
protection needed to keep the hands
from chapping.

BISHOP ASSA|LS LACK
OF RESPECT FOR WOMEN
Calls on Ministry to Lift Voice
Against Moral Abandon
of People.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-"We are living in an
age of bold and adventurous men, in
which there is an appalling lack of respect
for womanhood declared Bishop Thomas
Nicholson, of the Methodist Episcopaf
Church, in an appeal TO the ministry to
lift up its voice against the moral abandon
of the people.
Think of the moral laxity shown in
the present-day styles of woman's dress
and of our social entertainment and pub
lie demeanor Think of 1000 supposedly
nespectable citizens of Chicago sitting
IN some of our most elegant theatre build
ings and witnessing the present-day sug-
gestive Performances without uttering
protest
People have more leisure than ever
before. Men who care no more about
religion and morals than a dog, arc MAX
ing themselves multimillionaires out Of
the recreations of the people. Is itany
wonder the divorce courts are over
crowded.
Look at the cheapness in which human
life is held. Five hundred and fifty-nine
Persons were killed in the streets of Chicago
last year that we might continue 10 run
automobiles We have been willing TO see
200 aviators killed in the experiments
which gave us the airplane.
"A great number of policemen were
killed in our city in 1920 while guarding
the safety of the city. Ten million lives
wsre given in a war for the Preservation
of pretty indefinite ideal of democracy"
Bishop Nicholson suggested that the
churches get together and select group
of men to confer with city officials to for
mulate ways and means 60 rid the city
of immoral stage productions and TO curl b
crime
