STRESSES CHURCH
EXTENSION WORK
Report to Be Made to Con-
gregationaI Council, Out
lining Results.

NEW YORK, May IA third o
the Congregational churches in th'
United States are being aided by
the oher two-thirds, according t
the report which will be presented a
the biennial meeting of the Nationa
congregational Council in Omaha
Nebr. May 25 to June l, by Rev. DR.
Ernest NJ. Halliday of New York City
general secretary of the denomination 5
church extension boards. The number
of aided" or home missionary
$500 churches.
Goal Is Indicated.
Elimination of the "glaring Unequal.
ities" in church privileges now exist
ing between different communities is
the goal which the extension boards
are seeking to realize in the second
century of their history. The origin
of the extension boards dates back to
1926. when was founded the Congrega-
tional Home Missionary Society, the
oldest national home mission organiza-
ton of any denomination.
The total force of home mission
aries" including pastors of aided
churches. general evangehsts and field
workers, is 1873. The expense of the
CEUrCn extension NOEh idSI year, eN-
elusive OF church building, was ST.
3S5.5S9. The rising cost" of home
missions is revealed in the comparison
between the expense to the boards for
a year of missionary labor so and
100 years ago and today. In 1926 the
expense was $l27, in 1876, $422; In
1926, Sl.044.
Favor 10 Home Missionaries.
A years leave of absence on full
salary for study and speaking after
six years of service is recommended
for home missionaries by DR.. Halli-
day, in order that home mission
work may be recognized as a dignified
calling, full of opportunity for self
development" The leave of absence
would correspond to the ''furlough"
granted regularly to foreign mission
aries and to the "sabbatical year" of
college professors.
New churches or parish houses
numbering 269 and So parsonages
were completed during the last two
wears with the help of the Congrega-
tional Church Building Society, of
which Rev. DR.. James Robert Smith
Is secretary. The building society is
included in the extension boards. Ap-
preparations of grants and loans voted
for church building during the past
two years amounted to $1,202, ,225.

A Young Neck.

l have often said that there is no
excuse for an old-looking neck. There
are. unfortunately limits to what can
be done to the face, but the neck Will
stand any amount of treatment. You
need something flesh building and
something astringent. Now, II you
are sufficiently well-to-do you can go
into the best beauty shop and pur-
chase all the most expensive flesh
building pomades and astringent To-
tions that they possess. You can
have special treatments and all kinds
of fancy attentions, as massage and
such things.
The way of the rich woman is al
ways easy and pleasant, but if you
want your money for other things,
you'll be surprised at the amount OF
treatment you can give yourself with
homemade creams and that best and
cheapest of all astringents-a piece OF
ice. / have experimental with a great
many varieties of beautifying treat
ments and have yet to find any which
do not end up with the advice to fin
ish the process with an ice rub. You
can do that for yourself without pay
ing anybody SIS to do it to you.
First of all, roll very hot wet cloth
around the neck, for the pores of the
skin must be opened. Then rub the
neck full of building cold cream,
not ordinary cleansing cream, for that
has no nourishing value. You must
have a cream that will nourish the
tissues, and one whose contents you
know, preferably one you've made
yourself. Take a generous amount
rub it on your hot skin and keep on
rubbing until lot has been absorbed.
Wipe off whatever is left on the sur
face of the skin with dry cloth, then
rub with ice.

THE DAILY
HOROSCOPE
Thursday, December s.

Tomorrow is one Of the rarely un-
fortunate days in planetary direction,
according to astrology, which finds
malefic aspects dominant. In the
total eclipse Of the moon on this date,
the seers find i'll omens presaging in.
crease of crime and much illness.
Terrible storms are foretold. Wind
and seismic shocks will cause heavy
losses in many parts of the world, 1t
is forecast.
Women should be quiescent while
this rule prevails. They may be dis
appointed in any effort toward reform
or public service.
Until late in the evening 1t is we'll
to avoid persons upon whom 1t is de-
sirable to make a good impression.
There is a forboding sign for those
who would seek employment or pro-
motions.
Health protection and development
are to be even more strongly stressed
than formerly, owing to some sort OF
an epidemic, the seers declare.
Persons whose birth date 1t Is may
have year of varied eXactionS.
They should guard against thieves.
Children born on that day may
travel widely, and in that case they
are likely to meet with adventures
more or less unfortunate.

down into a bramble tangle.
1t all happened so quickly that Peter
and Jumper didn't have time to draw
a long breath. They knew instantly
who that great gray bird was. 1t was
Terror the GOshawk. How he came to
miss Mrs. Grouse in that first swoop
no one but Mrs. Grouse will ever know
But he did miss her. AS she rose into
the air he turned like a flash and was
after her. Had 1t not been that that
bramble tangle happened to be just
where it was Terror certainly would
have caught Mrs. Grouse. But Terror
knew better than to try to follow her
in there. He couldn't fly in bramble
tangle. He would have to walk there,
and in walking he was no match at
all for Mrs. Grouse with her handy
snQwshoes You know Old Mother Ma
ture gives her n pair of snoWshoes
every Winter They are not real snow
shoes like you and | wear, but they
serve the same purpose. They are
little horny points that grow out be-
tween the toes and so give her broad
surface to keep her from sinking into
the snow.
With a scream of disappointment
Terror flew away He knew it was
useless to hang around there, and he
was hungry. He would find his break
fast somewhere else. No sooner had he
departed than Peter hurried over to
the bramble tangle to see his old
friend, Mrs. Grouse.
MY land!" exclaimed Mrs. Grouse
as Peter appeared. did you see what
a narrow escape I had?"
Yes" replied Peter.
Il didn't know that Terror had come
down from the North" said Mrs.
Grouse. Il wasn't looking for him at
all. 1t was just my good fortune that
[ saw him when | did. My! My heart
is still going thumpety-thump Did you
know that Terror had arrived?"
II had heard that he had arrived I"
replied Peter, but l didn't believe it.
No. sir; / didn't believe it. He has
come early this year. Now, l Won
der how l am going to get back to
the dear Old Briar Patch. If / hadn't
seen Terror with my own eyes I
wouldn't have believed that he was
here. But now l know he is. Just as

Parents have rights and children

instead Of flaring up and chasing the

BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. P. A. w. writes: MY little girl

in Cloudy, weather. Would cod-liver
oil increase her resistance to disease?
How should begin giving it, as she
has never had it?
us it natural for her lips to be blue
when she is cald?. e.
AT what age can a child eat cab.
bage, turnips. corn and shell beans?
Would cooking them make any diff
ference?
Answer-Since a good diet is our
best method of providing the body
resistance against disease, cod-liver
oil, which Is SO useful in insuring that
tie diet be made use of in the best
possible manner. offers an excellent
tonic for the Winter season. Start
with one-half teaspoonful three times
day and increase UP to one teaspoon
full after breakfast and dinner.
[ would suspect that the child
might be slightly anemic when the
lips turn blue, though it depends
largely on the child's general build
dni one shouldn't decide this question
by merely the looks of the lips.
Cabbage can be steamed for about
20 minutes, seasoned with butter and
cream and given to the child of 8
years or more. Corn contains cellu-

child of three or more also. Shell
beans can be used in soup for a child

to peas, beans, carrots, turnips (are

to mild favored vegetables which are
not too woody or stringy. They are
best cooked for the young child.
