A Sermon for Today
About Your Doubts.
BY REV. JOHN R. GUM.

wherefore didst thou doubt?"-
Matthew, xiv.31.
It As not strange that men should
haVe doubts. In the process OF religious
thinking. we, are faced with many
Questions that are difdcult to solve.
Some of these questions are unsolvable,
at least under our present limitations.
There are certain theoretical questions
to which the wisest theologians have
never found q satisfactory answer.
Often doubt arises, not so much from
the consideration of such questions as
from the seeming contradictions of life.
The ways of Providence baffe us. We
are bewiIdered by suffering and sorrow
Many times, the unjust seem to fare
better than the just. We see about us
many impoverished and broken lives
been withheld. These things confuse
us. and give rise to doubts that cannot
easily be set aside.
From whatever source our doubts
arise, we should not let them master
us. Questions that are unanswerable
should be left TO God. He will make all
things plain to us in His own good
time. we have enough things that are
settled to get along on. God has re-
vealed all we really need to know for
our present life. AS to the mysteries
we can well trust these things to His
wisdom.
If doubts come, keep them to your
self. Do not unsettle the faith OF
others by parading them. Do not sur
render to them. Acting on the light
you have, fight your way through 10
firmer ground. AS you battle against
your doubts, you viii find your faith
increasing and becoming stronger
This has been the experience Of many.
It was the experience of "Doubting
Thomas who. after much doubling,
voiced that grand exclamation OF faith

BEAUTY CHATS
Value Of Cosmetics.

Though aware Of the fact that I
should be advising my readers to doc
tor their faces with quantities Of cos
metics, am afraid am rather against
than for theml That is, think we
overdo cosmetics and plaster our faces
as they used to centuries ago. 1t may
be that we do it more scientifically,
and that our lotions and other things
are harmless, but one fact remains
that we stick the pores of our skins UP
with things, and the human skin is
really made to go without them.
OF course, certain medical stuffS are
exceptions. Sulphur and zinc ointment
are good for certain skin conditions,
because they are antiseptic and healing.
Lotions using these ingredients, and
others, are exceptions. Certain other
lotions, usually sold in beauty shops,
are very good for Tightening lax mus
cles and coarse pores: these do not
affect the normal action of the skin.
Oils. which can be rubbed in and
washed out, leaving no deposit, are good
because they make soap and water even
more cleansing. they remove from deep
down in the skin the CRIME and dust
which comes from abnormal surround
ingS-living in city, for instance, or
using lot of face powder, which goes
into the skin. We are so used to pow
der that no one thinks of not using 1t
these days Hence the need Of extra
thorough cleansing.
Also, a dry skin can be fed with oil
to its benefit. Any skin can be stimuli
lated by ice, astringents, heat, any
simple method, to its general benefit.
Oil or cream around the eyes keeps
off wrinkles for many years: that is
proved every day. But filling up the
skin with creams full of wax or soda,
plastering the foundation creams with
powder, adding more powder through
out a day. must eventually harm the
strongest complexion. For the skin
must always breathe freely.

usually make their strongest appeal. In
every period Of fashion there are
dresses of both types, but during the
decade that has just passed evening
dresses Of the sophisticated sort have
been more in evidence than those OF
the demure, picturesque sort.
At present the pendulum Is swinging
back in the other direction and the new
fashions bring with them large num-
Der of dresses of the obviously pretty
sort. More than one young girl has
discovered that the really sophisticated
thing to do is to wear evening dresses
of this sort. Whatever your preference
In the matter you should have at least
one of these youthful, rather romantic
dresses in your wardrobe.
The yellow clinton evening dress
shown in the sketch would not be at
all difficult to make at home, and the
picturesque trimming of artificial for

flowers and apply them as shown to
the collar and belt, or If you like you
might use tiny rosebuds or any other
sort of small blossom.

BEING THANKFUL

The heat made Hiram Hooper totter,
the day was scorching, simply vile;
I'm thankful that it isn't hotter" he
muttered, with a cheerful smile. He
felt the perspiration trickle, as he sat
resting on his pillow; ut could be worse,
Ill bet Q Nickel he said, and naopped
his streaming brow. When something
causes us detection, it does no good to
whine or curse; there's comfort in the
calm reflection that things could be
great deal worse. A man like Hiram
doesn't suffer as much as do the john
sing twins, because he knows things
could be tougher: this cheers him up,
and so he grins. A lot of us do much
complaining DER all hfe's little smarts
and stings; we wiring our hands in
grief, disdaining the simple logic Hiram
springs. Ingratitude is always hateful,
it's sin to raise doleful sound; there's
always reason to be grateful, If we just
pause and look around. But yesterday
my legs were aching and grief was
furrowing my brow; wept aloud and
was making more racket than the
laws allow. felt that was classed
with martyrs, talked in fury and
despair; the pain inside my costly gar
tiers was greater than a man could bear.
Then I sat down in deep abaSement,
felt quite phoney, cheap and small;
saw a fellow from my easement, man
who had no legs at all Sometimes we
feel that dire disaster has chosen us,
to wreck its spite; it sticketh closer
than a plaster, it rides our shoulders
day and night. Then we should face it,
all unshrinking, and sternly tell it to
dispense; and well find much relief in
thinking that troubles always might be
worse. WALT MASON.

Your Baby and Mine


When a mother has been doing the
same thing in the same way day af r
day. it is not surprising that she is un-
prepared for some sudden change in her
routine and is not hospitable toward it.
Yet in child care the dropping Of
habits, even these which have been go
ing on for months, sometimes occurs
overnight. One day baby is taking her
two maps a day without demur, and
suddenl-', without warning, she refuses
to sleep at 10 o'clock. The older child
who may have been mapping al after
noon will, quite without previous noti-e,
begin standing up in bed and bowling
to be let out. Having no inkling Of
these changes, the mother knows OILY
one thing to let the child cry 1t
out. She may try this for days, with
the result that the child screams him.
self into state of exhaustion and goes
to sleep. He may sleep sometimes for
several hours and then waken cross and
red-eyed, and later refuse to go to bed
in the evening at the customary hour.
The usual age at which this episode
takes place varies with the child. The
active child is seldom able to sleep in
the ,rnoon after he has reached the
age of years. With some children It's
change takes place sooner, but if at 2
years the child refuses to sleep in the
afternoon it is time for the mother to
make note Of this perfectly natural de-
velopment and arrange the child's day
to provide opportunity for more rest
perhaps an earlier bedtime-and stop
wrestling with him about maps.
Mrs. H. W. has been making the usual
mistakes in trying to adjust this prob
lem of growth. She says: 81 am almost
frantic and have to write you for adj
vice. For the last three months every
time I have put my 17-month-o
daughter in her crib for nap she
stands up and screams. I have been
determined, after such tactics as rock
ing her carriage for hours, to let her
scream it out, which takes about two
hours. I have tried being kind, scold-
ing and finally whipping, which am
sure must be wrong. 1t is dreadful, Mrs.
Eldred, so please advise me. Shall

seven teeth. What could be wrong? ]

There are several possibilities here

Also her whole day may need re-
arranging. When are her other nap
periods? Does she have four or three
meals daily? When does she go to bed
at night? A child this age shoul rise
at $50 or o'clock, have breakfast at
at o'clock and dinner at $50 o'clock,
and be in bed by o'clock at night.
The usual time for rest or a nap is
right after lunch. If it is obvious that
the child can't sleep, put her to bed
with her toys and encourage a quiet
period of one-half to one hour, and
don't try for nap at all. You get
nowhere and spoil her chances of going
to sleep at the proper time at night.

For bird or beast. or girl or boy,

Impy, the black Chipmunk, thought
chat when he got his bed room dug and
the passageway leading to his front
door completed he would stop work.
But no sooner did he get these things
done than he began to think about a
comfortable bed.
81 must have a soft bed right away"
said Impy, and forthwith started to look
for some soft material to make his bed
out Of. He took down through the front
door and along the long passage some
1eaves--some dead leaves. Then he
found some soft dead grass that was
lust what he wanted. He took that
down inside. He had to make many
trips. Yes, indeed, he had to make
many trips, and there were times when

Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 4, 1861.-At meeting OF
the Board of Police Commissioners to-
day Mayor Addison of Georgetown
nominated william B. Webb Of Wash
ington City to be superintendent OF po-
lice. He was elected on the first bal
lot. His election was at once made
unanimous.
Mr.. Webb, the new superintendent Of
police, is well known in this community.
the last election he was Bell-Everett
supporter, and now he Is a thorough
Union man.
Although the Baltimore e. Ohio Rail
road Co. is rushing its terminal i'm
provements at this city to take care of
the rapidly arriving troops from the
North and West and the vast amount
of war material, there is still much to
be done before the present great waste
of Government stores can be stopped at
this point.
Large quantities Of hay, for instance,
are now left in the open by the Govern
Rent authorities, with the result that
the cattle that roam the classic pre-
cincts of Swampoodle" are very well fed
and have unusually shiny coats. The
former lank appearance of these ami
mails, all of which belong to private
owners, has, gone and they are noted
for their plumpness.
A building near the railroad depot,
known as the White House, bears on its
front the words Soldiers Rest" in huge
letters. outside 1t looks quite tidy, but
it is kept closed most Of the time and
a most sickening efiuvia" is declared
to pervade the whole building
The nearby cane factory has been
christened Soldiers Retreat" the name
appearing in large letters on its front.
A building is now being erected in its
rear, also for the comfort of the in
coming Union soldiers.
The military authorities are exerting
every effort to prevent the selling Of
liquor to the soldiers here. But 1t goes
on, nevertheless. Today q woman,
rather meanly clad, was taken before
Justice Dom by two officers of the
California Regiment, charged with this
offense. She carried two jugs IN a
basket, concealed by cotton sheet.
She was fined $25, and in default Of
payment was sent to Jail.
