LEGION TO HOLD POPPY FAY
The memory of the heroic dead,
manned and disanlel of the World
War will be markell on May 30 by
Poppy Day" to be held by the Amer
lean Legion, mogement which will
be joined by several thousand posts
of the CT ganzation throughout the
country
Replicas Of tn. flower which covers
the fields of Flanders, where III,
blood of many Americans was shed,
will be sol through, the agercy Ct
the local posts and Auxiliary units,
and the returns from the sale of the
peoples will be used for the relief of
sick and needy veterans. and for the
decoration of graves Of the heroic
dead who lie on foreign shores.
Many posts will take this method
in raising their quota of the perm
anent endowment fund of 100000
which is now being subscribed
through the Legion in order that the
resting places of the 32,100 American
dead in Europe will be decorated on
each May 80
The sale of the peoples will open
day or two prior to May 30, in most
localities, so that there will be a
poppy on the breast of every Amer
lean on Memorial Day.

NAKEDNESS CONDUCIVE TO
HEALTH OF TIMES

A real sun cure means walking in
the sunshine naked, except for pro-
lection on the skull. Exposing the
the whole body to the sunlight causes
blood pressure to fall. The breathing
becomes deeper and slower; the
amount of air inhaled greater, and
the strain on the heart less.
Sunshine ON the skin expands the
little capillary veins, bringing blood
to the surface, which is good for the
surface and good for the blood, in
creasing both red and white corpus
cles, the protective army of our blood
system.
The best exercise for human beings
would be to walk up and down in the
sunlight with no clothing on except
a white hat, the crown lined with
black. However ,modesty is more val
liable than sunlight, so there must be
a compromise, Arthur Brisbane in
~ Y. American.

CHARITY SHOULD BEGIN
AT HOME

The report of certain church
shows that it contributed during the
past year to foreign missions, ST.
595.05. This same report showed
that the church had contributed for
aid of ministerial relief only
$4,000.
In other words that church gave
THIRTY-NINE TIMES AS MUCH
TO FOREIGN PEOPLES AS 1T
GAVE TO IT'S OWN FAITHFUL
SERVANTS!
Why? We understand that this
ministerial relief goes to what is
called "superannuated" minister's
ministers who are either too old to
preach, or else have been incapaci-
tated in their labors.
Weren't these ministers paid
enough to enable them to save
against the day when they would be
no longer useful?
If not, weren't their services APP
preciated?
Isn't the laborer worthy of his
hire?
Isn't Peter being robbed to pay
Paul?
Charity should begin at home!

The lesson it teaches is so obvious

words how he found it.
What happiness we have missed by
not being the sort of ''hair-trigger

Elsewhere in this paper there is
acknowledged receipt of check for
$11. from DIR. Bensley, rector of st.
Andrews Church, for the Hospital
Fund. DR.. Bensley is the first LIANT
bertville minister to appreciate the
crying need of hospital in this city.
st. Andrews is the first church to
show its endorsement of the prospec-
tive institution.
If an individual or group of indi-
viduals realize the need of such hui
manitarian work, they are towards if
they allow political or selfish reasons
to prevent them from doing their

"Then on the fifth day the con-

railroad track. They said he must
have tried to beat his way on a
freight train, because there was no

found this picture of Oracle under his

Again Grandmother seemed TO be
lost in bitter memories. Her gentle
fingers moved lovingly over the pic
ture, and she looked out with unsee-

continued in voice that was only a

TEACHING THE HENS TO OBJ
SERVE SUNDAY

Even the children are catching the
Sunday law idea and imbibing the in
tolerant spirit that goes with it.
Some weeks ago "The Continent" a
Presbyterian paper published in Chi
cago, printed the following, which
was reproduced little later with
proper credit by the Omitted Presby-
terian," Pittsburg, Pa.
Zone Sabbath morning a minister's
wife saw her son chasing the hens
with stick. She went to the door to
investigate, and heard him say, I'll
teach you TO lay eggs in minister's
family on Sabbath morning."
This is somewhat amusing, but
such an incident ought not to be thot
strange, considering all that is claim
ed by Presbyterians for Sunday, here
miscalled the Sabbath. Liberty.
