Something to
Think Ab0uf
NOT ON BREAD ALONE
BY z. Il. WILKER

THERE Is within all Of us an
ever-growing appetite which
Graves substantial nourislment
for the soul.
A sumptuous table heaped with
palatnble delicacies fails utterly to
satisfy this hunger
With all our carnal gluttony we
find ourselves at certain periods Of
our existence yearning for spiritual
food.
Wealth and luxury leave but an
emptiness; poverty and sorrow dis
tress and harden our hearts; the
world is a cheat--a bauble that eludes
us aud leaves us in vagueness.
We may be talebearers, liars and
thieves, but in our serious moments
there comes upon us an overwhelm-
ing longing for something that will
appease our appetite, besides bread
alone.
We wish for the sustenance in
which Truth and Mercy are blended,
that our souls may be satlated, and
our fever cooled. In ten thousand
delectable forms IL Is spread out be-
for us, but we rebel against accept.
ing IT,
Though we may be starving and
weak to the point Of falling we re-
fuse to eat.
In our misery and weariness we
crave the everlasting Voice of Nature
TO lull us to sweet repose. yet in
strange perverseness we fight to keep
awake.
From all around us comes the call
70 the feast.
1t comes from the silent starry
nights; from the bOisterous days I;
from the shimmering silver streams I;
from the dancing leaves of the for.

Ing winds. hut our eyes are heavy
and our ears are dull.
Right at our elbows is dust.
covered volume filled with uplifting
encouragement and fatherly love,
intended for guidance TO the very
happiness We desire.
But we let this great book lie in
a dark corner untouched while we
continue to stumble on and cry fol
peace
We refuse TO open our eyes when
we ought to be wide awake; we de
cline to close them when we ought
to be asleep; we are wilfully head
strong and insistent upon having our
own way.
We see not the good, but stroll and
strut with evil.
We are human; but within each
one OF us there burns the spark of
divinity, and not until this spark shall
he famed by our owl hand into
flame, and kept burning by simple
prayer and faith shall our hunger be
fully satisfied.

AMERICAN ARMY TO REMAIN

Gen. II. T. Allen and Roland w.
Boyden. unofficial representative on
the reparations commission, told the
interallied conference that the AM
erican army on the Rhine would be
reducted to $500 officers and men by
spring. The conference expressed
the hope that American troops would
remain on the Rhine as long as those
of the other allies. II was agreed
that America should receive special
consideration in the payment of flu
ture expenses by Germany, but the
matter of arrears will have to be set
tied by the diplomats of the two
countries.

not move.

the men got out and came forward.

sIITR ON BEAUTY
OF AMERICAN WOMEN

African bellies surpass American
women in beauty declares Frederick
Starr. professor of anthropoiogy at
the University of Chicago. He furth-
er says that there is mo real beauty
in the United States and 1t is only
our goodnature that makes us call
our women folk pretty "A hand
some man or woman is the rarest OF
all creatures" he adds, and he ex-
plains that Americans are to hybrid
10 be beautiful, "Our standard OF
beauty would be denied by any Eu-
ropean nation" he asserts. "Only
among Liberian and kindred races is
real beauty to be found. The Korean
yellow race quite frequently surpass
us in specimens OF beauty. The
Igorrotes at the worlds fair were
marveled at for the physical attri-
butes
What DIR. Starr meant and should
have explained Is that mixture OF
races such as we have in America
lacks that regularity of body and fea-
lures which true beauty calls for. We
find for Instance a Grces nose. a
