Mr.. Moth

Does not approve of Cedar Chests
for Christmas gifts, for it means that
he'll have to hunt diligently for his din
ners and suppers in the home that
stores their furs, feathers and woolens
in one of these chests.
All our chests are Of genuine red Ten
nessee Cedar-the only cedar that is
true moth preventative. They are fin
ished in the light cedar color-but ma
hogany and walnut finishes can be had
if wanted. And all have strong hinges
and dependable locks and easily rolling
casters and well-braced lids.
There are many sizes to choose from.
One chest, 42x16x12, is $500, an
other 42x18x22, is $4,000. Round lid
chests fitted with dust strips, making
them absolutely dust tight, are marked
$1,000, $4,000 and $4,000, according to
size.
A. particularly good value is a fifty
four-inch chest, mucA used for blank
cts and bedding, at $4100.
And then there are the dover chests
in mahogany and walnut and in Queen
Ann, Louis XVI and Colonial types
cedar lined and fitted with trays-beau-
tiful chests, made to harmonic with
fine bedroom pieces, that range from
$4,000 to $500.

Following the evening services in

Bishop Philip Cook conducted an in
formal conference on the Nation
wide campaign.
Addressing those present at the
conference Bishop Cook said:
''Nine-tenths OF the work Of the
parish must be done by the mem
bers themselves. II is only the
other tenth that should be left
to the rector. How the ma
ion-wide campaign originated is
too long story TO be gone into

to bring back into active member
ship those OF the parish who are
irregular in attendance and In their
support OF the church.
1T is your obligation TO see that
your church is operating on a one
hundred per cent membership, not
by the support Of about one or two
thirds OF its members. And II
should be a privilege and a joyous
experience to bring back your
neighbors into the group to which
they are bound by the closest ties
OF fellowship.
"Do not stop your Christianity In
your own family. or in your owr
church. not caring for the interests
OF the diocese or OF the church al
large. The Christianity that strains
to reach out across the world is OF
more value 10 the home and the
parish than the semblance Of Chris.

Letters to Lovers
Credentials In Comtship
By Wimona Wilcox

"Afterward our happiness seemed
doubled by the test. He was almost
abjectedly grateful for my trust In
him. Everything was going smooth
" with our wedding plans when the
crash came.
''One day he implored me several
times to marry him that very AFTER
noon. ] put him on--told him 70
wait 10 days or two weeks.
"He left, embracing me tenderiy
as usual. He made no complaint ]
never have seen him since
Il don't know what TO do. Forget
him? Wait for him7 Hate him be-
cause he deserted me? II he lied
about his love for me, my heart II
broken.-B. NJ. c."
Almost one feels sorry for the mar
who could abandon the little lad,
who writes the above.
The other women. however, are
quick to be suspicious and will prob
ably surmise at once that there wal
something wrong in that story OF di'
vorce. Perhaps the suit was In prog
ress and the decree was not granted
Then, in a moment OF emotional ex
plosion, the man asked the girl q
wed him Immediately. Delay brough
calmness but no way out except
confession, which was too great ar
ordeal for his particular tempera
ment! Then-he ran away.
The little lesson in this is for par
ents and guardians OF girls.
There are always ways OF ascer
tanning the facts in the past OF tn
man who comes a-wooing a preciou
daughter. The father only needs Z
use the same methods he would us
when investigating the status Of

Gently by Mr.. Walter Jolly. who re-
sides at No. Sc Rockford Road, VIII

He said;
Il can honestly state that from
my own and my wife's experience
with Plant Juice, It has proved all
that is said Of IL, for It is absolutely
the only medicine that relieved US.
We had both suffered from stomach
trouble; couldn't digest the light
est kind OF food and II would fer
ment in my stomach and cause gas
to form; I never could eat any break
fast, was constipated. had sick head
aches. and II was with difficulty that
/ got through my days work;
was so nervous could not sleep
at night and got awfully weak; had
bad taste in my mouth continually
and lost heavily in weight heard
so much about Plant Juice from our
home people that I got a bottle to
try it. Since / have continued It's
use I am Rble TO eat three square
meals a day. sleep fine at night and
am not constipated; am gaining in
weight and have a fine. healthy
color in my face; my work is a
pleasure to me now. My wife, when
she saw the wonderful results had,
started to take Plant Juice too and
she looks and feels like a different
woman. Plant Juice has relieved us
both and we are only too glad to
give this endorsement for It."

after our engagement, he made a
