A Sermon for Today
Forming Ideals.
BY REV. JOHN r.. GUM.

Text: ."As he thinketh in his heart,
so is he.'-Prov., xXiii.7.
AS man thinks, so will he be-
Through his thinking he creates certain
ideals. and those ideals in turn create
his character. They also determine his
course and destiny in life.
1t is commonplace, know, to talk
about ideals. But how vital they are
to all great lie and great achievements.
Great lives are never lived. great things
are never done, except by reason of
ideals. Therefore, as commonplace as
it may be to talk about them, 1t seems
to me we had better keep talking about
them.
What are ideals? They are our
thoughts crystallized into aims, purposes,
and prospects we hope to realize. Ideals
vary. Samson saw his ideal in the at
tainment of physical strength and
proves. Napoleon saw his ideal In mil
itary exploits and conquest. Caesar saw
his ideals In the acquisition of imperial
power and dominion. Croesus saw his
ideal in accumulated wealth. Paul saw
his ideal In the attainment Of likeness
of Christ. OF course, we may have
ideals in different directions. But we
usually have some ideal that stands
out paramount to all others. And this
paramount ideal becomes the dominant
force in our lives, to the attainment OF
which We subordinate everything else.
Many worthy and desirable things we
may strive after, but we bend our ener-
gies chiefly toward the thing we con-
slider the most worthy and desirable.

BRIDGE TALKS
By MRS. JOHN MUNCE. JR.

Second in Importance to the two FIVE
card suits Is what is known as the
semi-two- suiter-namely. hands in
which you have five cards in one suit
and four cards in the other. each suit
strong enough to have bid initially
The following hand illustrates this
type. Dealer holds:
Spades-Ace, king, eight spot and
six spot.
Hearts-Six spot and four spot.
Diamonds-Ace, king, jack, five spot
and three spot.
Clubs-Seven spot and five spot.
While the higher valued suit only
has four cards, it is best to bid the
higher valued first, and If partner
raises you after an intervening bid, bid
the lower valued suit next. In doing
this you say to your partner. IT have
four cards in the major suit which /
bid first and five cards in the last suit
named, so you have the opportunity
now of leaving me with the last named
bid, raising my original bid. or of bid
ding a no trump, provided the suits
named by me are the ones needed by
you for a no trump bid"
Always bid four-card major in
preference to flve-card minor suit.
The reason for this Is that it is much
easier to go game In major suit than
in a minor suit.

and do not doubt it now. But were

shoulders, which might mean little or
much. So present the story at face
value.
The submarine warfare was at its
height. No one who was not actually
on the spot can realize the awful
anguish Of those times at sea. Com
manders of ships turned gray from
frightful strain. Day and night the
air was filled with pitiful wireless APP
peals, which were in fact the death
cries Of brave ships.
It was during these troubled times
that there plowed into the Mediterran-
can from the East q convoy Of ships
filled with Australasian soldiers and
womannurses who were being taken to
the western battle front. The boats were
conveyed by Japanese destroyers, under
Lieut.. Comdr. SatSuna, on the Haiya-
ma. I use the designations "Satsuma"
and "Haiyama" because they are not
the real names.
For many thousands of miles the
warships had led their helpless charges
through the Eastern seas. Now for the
first time they were in the real danger
zone. The Japanese officers paced their
bridges ceaSelessly, binoculars TO their
eyes, watching for the signs Of peril
lurking beneath the blue waves. Upon
the square shoulders of the eray-haired
Satsuma rested the weight Of the safety
of the convoy. Quite apart from his
personal desire to see his little Meet
safely through, he carried In his hand
the honor Of his Emperor. That had
been the Japanese code OF the sea from
time immemorial.
Suddenly and without warning there
was a defamation of there by one OF the
troop ships, and the vessel leaped up
ward, like a fish trying to escape an
enemy of the deep. Satsumas shoul-
ders stiffened and his teeth clicked to-
gether like two pieces Of steel, but his

That Shocking Child.

A 2-year-old child has no sense Of
the conventional. Nor should he. Con-
ventions are purely adult affairs and
some of them are nothing to make
adults feel superior to children about,
at that.
Dickey, aged years and months,
picked up a naughty phrase. He
brought it to his mother with much the
same joy that puppy carries in q
bit Of delicate carrion to lay at his
mistress feet.
His mother turned a grave face
toward him and suggested that he take
OF his rubbers and put them in the
closet and then hang UP his hat and
then get a drink of milk and q cookie,
it being time for afternoon refresh
nents.
Dicky went of murmuring the new
phrase, with ci1uckles in between. His

repeated the phrase.
"You like that story" said his moth
er calmly. "I don't care for 1t. Seems
to me Pete has poor taste. Would you
please 60 for my sweater? left 1t
Dicky, still nurmuring the phrase,
went for the sweater and met two very
nice ladies arriving for an afternoon
call. Back he trotted with the sweater.
He took his stand q few feet behind
his mother and 1t was plain he was
waiting for an opening for his freshly
acquired treasure, this bright Jewel of

He lifted his voice and addressed the

but his language was that Of Pete,

The prim lady pretended not to hear

called, Listen, want you to hear what
Pete says" and he said it again, loudly,
clearly, with the last-minute infection
of Pete's voice.

holding:
Spades-Ace, king, nine spot and
seven spot.
Hearts-Ace, king. queen, eight spot
and six spot.
You will see by looking at these
cards that while the heart in this case
is lower valued than the spade. 1t is
longer and therefore stronger, and you
also realize that it takes just as many
spade tricks to make game as 1t does
heart tricks. In a case like this, al
ways bid the hearts first.
When holding four-card major and
a five-card minor, it is preferable to
bid the four card major, and If partner
does not respond to the major, be sure
and bid the minor, If there has been
an intervening bid, so that your partner
may choose the suit he can best sup
port.
To illustrate, dealer holds:
Spades-Ace, king, nine spot and
seven spot.
Hearts-Eight spot and five spot.

Answer.-(D It is natural for light

pure blond, so that, if you wish to
have golden hair again, you must re-
sort to bleaching. The bleaching would
make your hair even drier, however,
so that it would be a better plan to

Buttermilk for Reducing.

Dear Miss Leeds: Is buttermilk fat
tening? I drink a pint daily, with
graham crackers, for my lunch down
at the Office. I am 20 years old, feet
31a inches tall and weight 125 pounds.
How can I reduce? A READER.
Answer-Buttermilk is not fattening
compared with whole milk. There are
80 calories in an average glass of but
termilk or skim milk, while there are
100 in the same amount of whole milk.
A pint of milk should be included in
ones daily diet, either as a beverage or
in cooked foods. You are only 2 or 3
pounds above the average weight for
your age and height. Instead of cut
ting down on your diet. take more ex-
ercise to trim down your figure. Take
setting-up exercises for 10 minutes,
night and morning. Walk or miles

cd OF the proper methods of caring
for perishahle foodstuffs.
Rarely Kept Properly
Scientists and physicians say that
under modern methods Of production
and distribution perishable foods
milk, meat, butter, green vegetables,
fruits-are usually delivered to the
American doorstep in good condition.
But IN perhaps the majority Of homes
this food, If il is not consumed inn
mediately, is rarely kept in accordance
with the scientific requirement Of a
constant temperature Of 50 degrees or
less.
Refrigeration often is defective.
Even with good refrigeration facili-
ties, food is often handled carelessly.
Bacteria multiply. Reduced vitality
and lessened efficiency, If not actual
sickness, are the result. The avoid
able waste Of spoiled food is enormous.
Cause of Food Decay
All this is undoubtedly due 10 a lack
Of general knowledge of what eonsti-
tutes proper care Of perishable food.
and of the consequences of improper
care.
The sequence of ideas which the
Council wishes to establish is as fol-
lows.
l. The reason why food decays
the growth Of bacteria.
2. The relationship between food
spoilage and health.
3. The fact that perishable food
can be kept properly only when it is
stored in a constant temperature of
so degrees or less.
4. The necessity for proper all
year refrigeration in the home as an
essential to good health.
