A Sermon for Today
nY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Prepare Thee!

Text: "Stand fast, and prepare
thee."-Jer. xlvi.14.
Here is something that ought to in
terest young men, also parents who hope
for future for their sons. 1t is re-
port by the United States commissioner
of education. According to this report,
a common school education increases q
mans productive ability so per cent, q
high school training increases it 100 per
cent, and a college training increases 1t
from 200 to 300 per cent. Another item
of similar interest Is a statement by a
national leader telling us that, though
less than per cent Of men in America
go to college, yet from this 2 per cent
the Nation draws 7,700 of the 10000
chief leaders in all walks Of life. In
other words, when it comes to acquiring
positions of leadership, the chances are
about 80 to / in favor of the college,
trained man.
Wellington said that Waterloo was
won years before, at oxford, Cambridge
and Elton. THE secret of any victory
is in getting good ready" said an old
Troy general stand fast, and prepare
thee" cried jeremiah to the men of his
nation when he saw that the land was
about to be invaded by an alien enemy.
All things else being equal, whether
on the battlefields of war or on the
battlefield of ordinary life, victory goes
to the best trained and best prepared.
All about us we see young men falling
short for lack of preparation. Plenty
of opportunities are ready at hand, but
they are not ready. There are plenty
of big Jobs looking for the man who
knows how Everywhere splendid
chances cry to the young man, Pre-
mare theel"

Everyday Law Cases
Can Payment Be Stopped on O
Certified Check?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

John Swift entered into contract to
sell his business for the sum of $4,000,
receiving check from the purchaser
for the sum of $400. Swift Immediately
had the check certified.
The purchaser. finding certain minor
Misrepresentation concerning the sale,
ordered his bank to stop payment on
the check. This request, the bank in
formed him, 1t could not carry out and
in due course it paid the check when
1t was presented.
The purchaser brought suit against
the bank for the $400 1t had paid, but
he lost his case, the court citing the
following opinion Of the Supreme Court
of the United States:
1.-THE certificate of bank that q
check is good is equivalent to accept
ance. It implies that the check is
drawn upon sufficient funds in the
hands of the drawee, and that they
have been set apart for its satisfaction,
and that they shall be so applied when
ever the check is presented for payment.
It is an undertaking that the check
is good then and shall continue good,
and this agreement is as binding on the
bank as it's notes of circulation"

Medical Detective Story.
President wilson's praise of ono

President Wilson's praise Of ono of
Fletcher's murder stories gave that form
of fiction great impetus in this coun-
try. In England some Of the cabinet
ministers confessed a fondness for good
mystery yarns. President-elect Herbert
Hoover likes 'em, too. Now everybody's
reading them when he is not writing
one himself
The doctors In these stories are-well
they average up not so bad. Thorn
dyke compensates in a measure for
Watson. and HALEY has his points.
The detective of fiction must be ever
on the alert to find the woman" The
physician In practice must be as alert
to recognize anaphylaxiS. That is not
the name Of woman, but peculiar
reaction that may occur when a sus-
ceptible or sensitized individual digestS
or otherwise absorbs certain substances
OF heterogeneous or protein character,
whether of food or other origin. Hives
is anaphylaxis; but several other
skin disturbances may be of the same
nature, and that is why the doctor must
be on the alert.
Either this peculiar sensitization or
susceptibility Is on the increase or else
we are getting more skillful in diagnosis,
for not only skin manifestations. but
also olgeStlVe disturbances, asthma, nay
fever and allied conditions, and blad-
der irritation are now frequently traced
to some particular food protein or ex-
traneous protein, by means of skin
scratch tests with greatly attenuated
solutions Of the purified proteins. The
individual who is sensitized to q given
protein substance develops small hive
like spot at the point where the ex-
tract Is applied on the skin, but If not
sensitized shows no such reaction.
This skin scratch test is not abSo-
lutely reliable In all circumstances, but
1t is at least suggestive as guide to
the physician in getting at the actual
cause or nature Of the patients trout
BILE and perhaps finding a way to per-
manent relief. One plan now used sue
cessfully by the physician to corroborate
the skin scratch test is the elimination
diet"
An elimination diet" is simply diet
from which the specific protein food
substance is excluded. How can the
doctor tell what to exclude If he doesn't
know definitely which protein causes
the patients trouble? He can't. He
just keeps the patient on one or two
items-say, bread and milk-for a week.
If no trouble, other items are added
one at q time, and week after week.

REALITY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

for evening, IL you are extremely clever,
but that had better be left alone. Greens
and lavenders are these shades, but un-
der certain strong lights and on the
skin, they give a curious whiteneSS, a
cleaning whiteness like moonstone:
You can buy blue powder to make the
eyes brilliant il your eyes are blue, gray
If they are gray, and brown for bru-
nettes. These are tricky too; often
brunette needs blue shadowing, while
too much gray merely makes the race
deathlike.
IT'S a dangerous thing to buy too
many of these colors. The orangy-hru-
nette powders and rouges give bril-
liant effect, but hard. The rose-gera-
MUM tints are much softer and younger
and safer to use, too. Rouge comes in
as many variations IS powder does, and
lipstickS as we'll. You must stick to the
same tints, and not combine yellow
red lipstick with blLe-red rouge for
the cheeks, and the whole with pinktsh
powder. The great trouble with all these
novelties is that most women go wild
while experimenting, and their faces
look freakiShly unnatural and ugly.
Claire-Consult the doctor about the
puffiness under the eyes. For the lines
continue to massage some nourishing
cream into them, using your finger tips
very gently. The lines will probably
disappear when you correct the cause
for the puffy condition and build up
your health again.
NJ L. C.-You cannot change the
"cowIick" in the front of your hair. but
it need not be unbecoming to you If you
use it as direction for combing your
hair. Try parting your hair in another
place, and far enough away from this
natural turn of the hair. If your fore
| head is low the "cowlick" should be be-
coming just as 1t is.
