AaSUNDAY SERMON

Traced their lineage back to the days
when Abraham spoke face to face
with God. The long glories 'ot lsraei
had faded away into Tn past, Judea
had ceased TO live its own political
life: it was but one Of the thousand
proyinces Of the vast Roman Empire.
It was because of this situation
that the Scribes and Pharlsees decld-
ed upon this question, us It lawful 10
pay tribute to Caesar or notgP They
| thought He would answer either. yes
, or "noD. If he said mo" u IS not
| lawful. then He rendered Himself IL
able 10 prosecution by the Roman au-
| thorities: IL He said "yes", then they
would 90 amongst the people and
whisper that He is no true son Of
Abraham. But 20, He asked Tor q
coin of the tribute, and then an
! swered, "Render to Caesar the things
that are Caesars but to God the
things that are Gods"
This answer, my friends, is the
guiding star of every true Christian.
Our civil authorities represent order
and good government, protection TO
property and life, and the repression
Of iawlessness that would make So
ciety impossible. Render therefore
Ito rightly constituted authority
\ what belongs to it, respect, obedience
| loyalty.
| But there is another question
which every heart must sometimes
ask. "to whom does it owe allegiance
who is its Sovereign Master, to whom
Is due the tribute Of its service, and
the far nobler tribute of its affec-
tion?" Some people live as If the
world owned them, body and soul
but Christ said ito God the things
that are Gods" Man belongs 70
God. Therefore to God alone, IN the
first and highest place, man owes ms
souls best service, and his hearts
test love.
This is true: man was created for
/ God: God gave him his body, with its
marvellous aT,sness for the worh's
work: gave him his mind that re-
ceives into itself the images OF ma
terial things and changes them IRON
SIGHT and sense into knowledge; ant
above all, God gave him his soul; anl
God took care that mans destiny
should be so stamped upon him thai
it can never be forgotten.
i And so it is, my friends, our duties
in life whether they be civil or reli'
gious must entail perfect harmony
and consistency with the offering o.
our bodies and our souls. We hav'
the laws of our country; we mus
cherish them, we must respect thcE1
! we must love them. We likewise hayi
the higher law of the Eternal God
the law that embraces within US
immoral souls and the eternal life o
those souls beyond the grave. w
cannot be untrue or. disloyal to ou
country ano at the same time be 10y
; al and true to our God. "Rende
therefore to Caesar the things tina
are Caesars but to God the thing
that are Gods"

Judge Straushan
Now Improving

Nudge Thos. II. Straughan, who last
wkek was severely cut across the
chest in his home town of Ste. Gene
,sieve, and who was hurried to St.
Luke's hospital in st. Louis for treat
Inent, is now reported to be out Of
danger and on the road to recovery.
This will be most welcome news to
Judge Straughan's many friends
throughout this section of the State.
Judge Straughan's wounds result
ed from little trouble he had with
two brothers, Of whom he had al
ready disposed, when the wife Of one
of them took hand in the fracas,
striking the Judge a heavy blow on
the head, which gave one Of the
brothers n chance to get up, and with
a hawk-bill knife gave the Judge a
dangerous slash across his breast,
and a slighter cut just below the

Charged With
Making Whisky

On last Friday Sheriff Hunt dis
covered five barrels Of mash in cave
on thaiJfarm of VIM. Wells, about 8
miles south of Pennington, on the st.
Francois river. He Immediately ar
rested Mr.. Wells as the owner of such
contraband goods. Wells is about 65
years old. He claims to have no
knowledge that the confiscated mash
was on his place. -,
The storage place was near the old
countgt road, and it would be alto
gethen possible for someone else to
have used Wells property as stor-
age place for his mash. But it is now
up to Wells to prove that the confis-
Gated goods was not his property.

HEALTH OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
BEING INQUIRED INTO

The County Health Department is
now actively examining the physical
condition of the school children of
the county. The rural schools are
being visited first on account of the
possible poor road condition later,
The object of the work is that of
locating physical defects which the
parents might not otherwise notice.
AS an example child may be strug-
Cling through school, considered a
poor student and suffer great deal
of humiliation just because he cannot
see as we'll as his fellow students.
The child does not know that his eyes
are not as good as his playmates' be-
cause he has no way of comparing
his eyes with others. This defect
will be discovered by the Health De-
partment and notification slip will
be sent to the parents telling them
that the child's eyes are poor and adj
'vising that they be corrected by hav-
ing glasses fitted by a competent
physician,
Poor eyes is but one of the many
defects which will be found. Certain
cases of skin diseases; namely scab-
les or "the itch" and impitigo or the
scab-ike "fever blister, are sent
home for treatment. This is to pre-
vent the spread of the disease to
others. This exclusion from school
is required by the State Board of
Health and should make parents feel
safer about their children's health
while in school, The parents of those
who are sent home because of such
a contagious skin disease should not
feel that they are being insulted or
Giscriminated against but should real
ize that they are protecting others as
their own children should be pro-
tectet. HrGe
But contagious skin diseases are of
secondary Importance to the work of
1.-THE detection of physical defects
which should be of great help to the
parents of the county. when a par
cnt knows that this child is say e25
I per cent below normal weight and that
it has enlarged diseased tonsils and
/ the parent has the t0nsils removed by
his physician, 1t will in many cases
SO materially improve the child's
Ehealth as. TO greatly add To its fG-
| ture happiness by giving the child a
chance to successfully compete with
other healthy persons in the future.

good seed to have their seed exam
ined by the Missouri Corn, Growers
Association in cooperation with the
College of Agriculture. The request
for this service should come to the
Farm Bureau office in the near fu-
ture. Following is a copy of the
Rules and Instructions:
/. The approval of seed corn list
ed and advertised for sale in the APP
proved Seed List of the Missouri
Corn Growers Association will be
based from now on only upon an eX-
animation of the seed corn on the
farm of the grower by an official rep
resentative of the Association. .'
2. The total amount of seed corn
must be selected and piled separately
before the arrival of, the inspector.
Crib run corn will not be inspected.
8. The entire amount of seed Sc
lected shall be uniform in quality
throughout. The grower must assert
this to be true.
A. The seed should be selected at
harvest time or before if possible. II
this cannot be done, it must be select
ed as soon afterwards as possible.
Otherwise the inspectors may not be
able to examine it as their inspections
are made in connection with other
work in the same counties or COM
munities.
S. There will be no charge for the
inspection, except that the applicant
for inspection must see that the in
, spector reaches his farm and returns
! from it without livery expense.
6. A lot of corn once inspected
and refused approval for any reason
will be inspected a second time only
at the expense of the grower.
Z. In case the seed corn is ap-
proved, the grower must become a
member Of the Missouri Corn Grow
ers' Association, unless he is already
member in good standing. The
membership fee is one dollar pei
year.
8. The grower must agree to keeI

Farm Bureau Notes

Fall Flowing in St. Francois County
While fall blowing is not to be
recommended on land that is subject
to washing, it is, however, advantag-
eolIs on most of the level prairie
lands and gently rolling areas
There are several advantages to
fall blowing. 1t gives a better DIS
tribution of farm work, relieving the
snring rush. Soils that are inclined
to be wet and cold will warm up and
be ready for working earlier IN the
spring if fall-plowed. Where 500,
coarse litter or heavy growth OF veg
citation is to be turned under, the ma
teria) will partially decompose during
the winter, thus making it possible to
nrepare better seed bed in the
spring. Fall blowing also helps de-
strov certain insects. Soils that are
heavy and inclined to be cloddy. will
often improve in tilth with fall ploW-
, ir.'. a..
Where it is desired to deepen the
seed bed slightly by pniowig
seed bed by blowing somewhat deeper
than usual, fall plowing Will allow
tho weathering Of any new sup-soiI
that may be turned up, Fall plawed
land should be left rough in practic-
alIv all cases.! 1t is not desirable. to
disk or harrow it down until spring
\ because this would tend to- make 1t
pack or run together too much.
Weed Out the Boarder Dairy Cows
If enough of the dairymen OF ST
Francois county will get behind the
movement to organize a coW-testlne
association, many dollars Will be saw
ed. A cow testing association en-,
sbles a dairyman to sell his males at
n great deal better price. Many un-
nroftable cows are detected. tlg-
bring Of balanced rations is taught
The best cows in the association are
discovered and these kept to build uF
the herd Correct practice increases
the amount of milk and butterfat pro.
dueed from each dollars worth ol
coarse feeds-increasin not only tbs
dairyman's profit but also the wealth
of marketable concentrates produced
il tho county.
In one year twenty-three farmers
Z in a cow testing association IN tht
state, increased their net production
81 cents for every dollars worth OF

BATHING ROMOTE HEALTH

OVER the entrance of the Roman Baths stood the legend, There is Health
~ in the Bath" This is a truth demonstrated in ancient and modern times
"C1eaniness is next to Goodness" said John Wesley. More adapted to
modern unitarian ideas, however. is the legend Oh thu from of the Riyington
Municipal Bathhouse in New York: Health is Wealth; Frequent
Bathing Promotes Health"
How does bathing promote health? The human body is a self1egu1atng
machine consisting of various organs that maintain health. Among these is
the skin containing a network of blood vessels and nerves 10 vast that a
pin point may draw blood, proving communication with the heart, and at
the same time may produce pain, proving communication viii TIL brain
Theset w organs control all III functions OF the body.
That bathing exerts a direct influence upon them is proved by the morning
washing of III face which so refreshes the entire body that it is Indispensable.
In refreshment lies thu whole secret of bathing. If washing so small a skin
is III obviously beneficial, washing a larger surface must be more
beneficial Experience has taught that friction with coo water below the skin
temperature (92F) is refreshing. Farther removed from thu latter, (y
SO0F) is stimulating when BRIEF but depressing when prolonged. The
is plain. A plunge or shower with cold water (beow SO'F) is shmu-
latng; a longer application dangerous. Above So o. below 90, water is
a. tonic and refreshing.
A bath at 1907 to 1882 is cleansing. This is absolutely necessary once
a week, and oftner according to occupation. The ca bearer naturally
needs a cleansing bath otener thai the stenographer
Even a warm bath is refreshing, because after emerging, the watero o.
the skik quickly absorbs the aerial temperature CO' to 75) which is o
2o below that of the skin, ant friction enhances refreshment. Te idea
that a warm bath opens the pores is fal1acous; they are always open.
When a tub bath is inaccessible, the following is useful for daily re-
freshment Dip middle of a coarse towel into, water at 90' f Clover
temperature daily until So to so is reached) Holding its extTemites, move
1t to and fro over the back in both directions, frequently dipping and wiring

tued daily until so +. is reached, is useful or refreshment.
Shower baths are useful for strong persons, but unfit Tor others, because
the temperature cannot be ascertained without coming into contact with hot
or cold water. Habitual cold punges are harmful unless reaction, l. e.,
comfortable feeling and absence of chill, ensues.

Big business

A Westerner came on to spend his
vacation at Loblolly Cove, near Rock
port. He had never seer the ocean
before. The first morning of his ar
rival he appeared at the little fish
house and general store kept by a ma
tive named Haskins, and announced
that he wanted two pailsful of sea
water, which the storekeeper obliging-
ly dipped up for him from his wharf,
it being high tide.
How much" the Westerner asked.
Haskins, who never overlooked a
bargain, replied.
Ten cents"
The new arrival paid it c%heerfully,
and that afternoon he turned up again
with his pals.
MY doctor out home told me to
battle in sea water twice a day." he
explained; then, observing the distant
beach-line at low tide, he added:
