A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.

"shalt lift UP thy face unto Cod
Job xxii26.
Can you look your fellow man full
in the face with clear, straight eye?
Not If you have a guilty conscience
A guilty conscience makes a man APP
prehensive and marks his face with q
shamed expression when he appears
before his fellow men.
But what about looking God in the
face? If q guilty conscience shames
one before his fellow men, how much
more ashamed he must be to face God
Mine iniquities have taken hold
upon me-" walled the PsalmiSt, 80 that
am not able to look up"
Such is the effect sin has upon men.
It causes them to hang their heads in
the consciousness Of demerit and guilt
1t puts an uneasy expression in the
eye, so that they can look neither God
nor their fellows in the face with .
good countenance.
But this mark of sin upon the eye
and countenance can be washed away.
Through the grace Of God one may be
forgiven of his wrongdoing, and his
guilty conscience so cleansed that he
may go out and face the world with no
fear in his eye. With his heart and
conscience washed clean through Gods
forgiving grace, he may 60 into the
presence of God with a sense of peace
and look Him in the face and not be
afraid.
Thou shalt lift up thy face unto
God" When? When you have re-
pented of the evil you have done and
received His forgiveness. Then II is
that you can go into Gods presence
with open face and uplifted head.
How blessed to be able to look God in
the face with an undisturbed and
peaceful conscience.

Household Methods
~ BETSY CALLIsTER,

A play room Is almost essential for
the comfort of elders as well as Of
children. One young mother Of several
insists that If she had cottage or
apartment of but four rooms, one of
those would be designed and furnished
as play room.
The old-fashioned idea Of q play
room was that 1t should be some other
wise useless room, In the attic or q
wing Of the house, where toys could be
stored and to which children could be
relegated on rainy days.
And doubtless children spent many a
hilarious hour In those old-fashioned
play rooms. But the play room of today
has q more definite place in the train
ing Of the child. It is a place where
he Is taught the principles Of order and
neatnesS, a place. where he has his
own books and pictures-in short it Is
pretty nearly what the day nursery is
in well regulated English homes, only
that there Is less evidence Of the
nursery maid about it.
Now II you were planning o six or
seven or eight room house for your
small family that included q child or
so, where would you have the play
room?
You would show wisdom in putting
1t on the ground floor of the house. In
the first place the ground floor is
warmer in Winter, cooler in Summer.
Moreover, the housewife that has to do
much OF her own work Is below stairs
! three-quarters or more of her waking
hours.

Change of Climate.

Suppose you would like to spend each
Winter in some nice balny climate,
like-here insert name of your favorite
Winter reSort-why, then 1t would pay
you to have q non-cancelable sick in
Surance policy, for all you need is a
doctor who will certify that you're badly
run down and simply must go fishing
down there for several weeks in the
Winterttme, etc. Pretty soft, If you are
fond OF wintering In the South and
have the right kind of doctor to in
dorse your claim.
This changing climate Is largely that
sort OF thing. The patient, not the
doctor, proposes the change, II, indeed,
doctor is consulted at ALL In cases
where the wiseacre yet misguided in
valid sincerely seeks benefit to his
health and tries" such change with
out the advice of a physician, the re-
suit Is almost always disappointment
and sometimes disaster.
twenty-five years ago a medical
teacher IN the wards OF hospital asked
one OF the students: why do we adj
wise change Of climate in a case of
asthmaP The student answered: BE

ana nate TO have him hanging round"
very good answer for IS years ago.
Today a better answer would be that
we ship the patient off somewhere be-
cause we are not up on this skin test
ing Tor allergy and we are too narrow
and selfish to refer the patient to a
doctor who is prepared to determine
what foreign substance is accountable
Tor the asthma. If the doctor finds
that out, then the patient may be able
to avoid contact with the foreign SUBJ

or the patient may be immuniZed

Scraps From Sewing.

The woman with children may make
excellent use of almost all scraps of
material left from making cotton frocks
or underwear. 1t is good plan not
to let these pieces accumulate, but to
plan your dressmaking so that you may
utilize the pieces as you progress. Lit
tie pieces of colored gingham may be
used as facings pipings or other trim
mings for plain fabrics. If you are
making a brown and white cotton frock
plan to make another of plain tan ma
terial on which you may use the brown
and white effectively. If you make q
white frock plan how you can make the
best use Of the bits of white left over
In trimming some frock of color that
needs the plain white finish.
You will find that time may be saved
by faShioning these leftover bits into
trimmings before you have finished cut
ting out your fabric. You may trim
the pieces into straight or bias facings
at once, roll them up and put them
where they will be convenient when
you need them.
Collar and cuff sets are almost al
ways useful either in your own ward
robe or that of your children. All sorts
of collar and cuff or vestee sets may
be used in connection with sweaters.

Tentative symptoms.

Trying to tell a complete story in
this space is like trying to rest comfort
ably in a Pullman berth. Just as we
were in the midst of the picture the
other day we went to press. was try
ing to draw not too frightful picture
of the sad state man or woman gets
into along toward middle age If he or
she is a bit careless about eating. Let's
begin afresh with the picture, so that
every reader who needs a good jolt will
get it.
First, it is conceded that the ordinary
dietary in this country contains a large
proportion of concentrated food high in
carbohydrate and acid minerals, low in
vitamin, residue and alkaline minerals.
1t is contended by some good physi-
clans who have studied the subject ex-
tensively that the fault of our dietary
has something to do with the apparently
increasing prevalence of the degener~
alive disease in this country-Such dis
eases as arterioSclerosiS, chronic myo-
carditis (heart failure), chronic arth-
ritis, chronic nephritis. Some physi-
clans think the vitamin shortage in our
dietary is the chief fault; others think
that the excessive caloric value Is the
chief fault; still others think the pre-
ponderance of acid minerals over aka
line minerals is an important factor. ]
dunno what to think, bus whatever may
be the main factor, here are the early
general premonitory symptoms or signs
Try them on your own metabolism and
if they seem to fit or even if you Just
imagine they do, stick around till we
divulge the remedy
When within sight of middle age, one
way or the other, the poor wretch finds
he has a protruding and rather soft
abdomen, a sallow, coarse, thick skin
which is usually dry and scaly. His
face becomes congested or presents null
titudes of tiny venules over cheeks,
nose and ears. His simultaneous It's
sues are firm till--girlS shouldn't take
this too much to heart-till atrophy OF
the skin sets in. The whites of his eyes
appear dull blush gray and often con-
geSted. His tongue is gray and furred

Eighteen Day Diet.
This is our fourth day Of it.
The usual breakfast-One-ha grape
fruit one slice toast, coffee. Let me
suggest the juice of an orange as a
variation today.
Luncheon-Pot cheese, one tomato,
half grapefruit, one slice toast, tea or
coffee,
pinner-Broiled steak, watercreSs,
one-hah grapefruit. Too much acid.
Instead of the grapefruit, have a very
very small helping of rice pudding, and
instead of the cheese, take lettuce, with
the tomato as a salad and the least bit
of mayonnaiSe-a teaspoonful. Have
spinach instead of cress for dinner, and
instead Of the grapefruit, three stewed
pruneS.
o. P.-So long as your skin is in
clined to be oily, it is not likely that
you win succeed very well in contract
ing the pores over your nose. You will
need to correct the trouble in your
system, possibly your digestive system,
before you can effect any improvement
In your skin. The pores have become
enlarged because they have been over
worked in helping to eliminate toxic
materials from your blood. Your skin
has been overworked to keep you well,
and when you stop overtaxing it, and
eliminate the cause, the pores will be-
gin to contract again. The daily bath
ing you mention helps somewhat. The
cold water stimulus over the skin Is
also helpful, so go right along with
your methods as you have been doing.

clude a self-addreSSed, stamped envel-
ope for the mailing.
Mrs. E. I. P.-There is no accounting
for the drynesS Of some skins, but when
this is so, the only thing to do about it
is to keep such skins flexible to pre-
vent lines from forming. 1t comes back
to the health. or conditions of living,
such as a very dry and overheated at
moSphere. In such cases stimulating
baths help, and daily warm baths are
needed also to keep the skin active and
cleared. These followed by cold show
ers get the blood circulating, so the
skin is nourished and the functioning
increased. Creams are essential to keep
such skin soft, just as oil is needed for
leather that has become dried. Try
massaging a few minutes each day.

the last few years have given us respect
for all kinds of brown flour. But most
of us know graham -four only in the
form of mullins. There are several
other ways Of using it that are worth
while. Here are some worth trying:
Whole-wheat Wafers.-Two cupfuls
whole-wheat -four, two gillS of sweet
cream, one-haf teaspoonful salt and
mix. Roll as thin as possible on a
Toured board. Cut in small squares and
lay on tins. Prick With a fork and

HOLLYWOOD, Calf, February a.
| (N.A.NA. - Hollywood tiger woman is
coming back to the village The return
of Olga Baclanova to cinema ranks is
an instance Of the changing tides in
studio ideas.
When talkies presented a problem to
genties who had dealt for years in
silence. one of the first proud heads to
| fall was that of the Russian beauty.
Queen Of her lot, her f1erce-eyed lowell
ness was to be encountered on every
magazine given over to eye appeal and
in the rotogravure sections of papers
the world over. She made one talkie
and-out!
Baclanova was slain by the micro
| phones while the leaves OF her movie
bished face. The star of "Carmencita
and the Soldier" left Hollywood far
different woman in appearance than the
woman who had come here. Too fat
for studio needs and with beauty too
lax for camera use, she abdicated her
throne with Svelte body and the taut
features Of 20. So much for Hollywood.
The vaudeville stage did the rest.
The public liked Olga, and the long
series of tiger woman pictures did their
work. The village set up a clamor for
her, and she signed contract, but not
| on the lot which gave her her walking
papers. That lot allowed Bebe Daniels
and Richard Dix to stroll across the
street and get new contracts for them
selves. And now Baclanova, bowed out
| the front door of cinemas with flourish
and a speech of regret, returns trium-
| phantly through the back door of vaude-
vile. that saving grace Of so many
cinemaites.
And to insure her a good village re-
ception an irate lady with lawsuit
is camping on her trial. A former
landlady is suing for $1,052 worth of
