A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.
STAY in the Fight.

"He that shall endure unto the end,
the same shall be saved Mark, xiii
Life is a struggle. We may have a
few easy-going days, but we are all the
while passing from one battle to an
other.
1t is better that it should be so. 1t
Is in length Of patient endurance that
so much of what is good in mankind
Is shown. II we never had any strug-
giles we would never develop those great
virtues which go to make strong man
hood. And. besides, life affords no
greater pleasure than that OF surmount-
ing difficulties.
Many people imagine that the happy
life Is the easy life. They imagine that
If they could get to where life is easy
they would be supremely happy. Moth
ing could be further from the truth.
You will find the happiest people in the
world among those who are working the
hardest and struggling the hardest, not
among the idle and easy-living.
Go at this life where you will, and
If you make anything out of it you
must be prepared to endure hardness
as a good soldier" The conditions of
conquest are not easy-at least, have
never 1ounQ them so. For me lie mas
been q pretty hard battle. "Yet ! argue
not against Heavens hand or will, nor
bate a jot Of heart or hope, but still
bear up and steer right onward"
Often, when get into q hard fight
and 1t seems as though the battle Is
going against me and am tempted to
turn back, I recall the famous words of
wellington at Waterloo, Hard pound
ing, gentlemen, but we will see who can
pound the longest"
The man who holds on and keeps
pounding away Is the man who wins in
life's battles. Whoever perseveres will
be crowned" Never mind the struggle
you are having. Never mind your mis-
fortunes. Never mind how hard the
battle goes. You'll win out If you hold
out. Let nothing discourage you.
Never give up. Stay in the fight.

BEAUTY CHATS BY EDNA KENT FORBES

cream. 90 much the better for the ell
bows, for they can stand any amount
Of heavy cream.
The elbows should be scrubbed with
hot water, soap and a small scrubbing
brush, such as you use for your hands
or your hngernails. After this, vanish
ing cream should be rubbed into them,
or cleansing cream, or whatever you
happen to be using just then for your
complexion. The cream need not be
rubbed into the elbows, but merely left
on while you are doing your face or
hair. Then it can be wiped on with a
towel and little powder used to give
a nice finish.
If you have tight-sleeve dresses, you
must, OF course, avoid leaving too much
oil in the skin. But elbows are best
treated at night, when you massage
your face and otherwise give yourself
a daily beauty treatment. When you
are dressing for the evening or when
the elbows do not look well, vanishing
cream and powder will give them a
quick, smooth finish. If they are chap
ped and rough looking, it won't do them
any permanent good, but you can al
ways rub them with olive oil or massage
cream at night.
Not much can be done with the ell
bows, but the little Dit suggested mere Is
all that is necessary. Ugly elbows can
ruin your appearance completely. Try
to avoid the habit of leaning your
weight on your elbows when sitting at a
table. This makes the skin tough.
Miss Sarah @. J.-There is some
physical cause for ridgy nails, although
not necessarily serious one. and extra
dryneSs Of the skin will lead to some
rigidneSS also, since the nails are part
Of the skin. No matter what the cause
Is, such nails may be considerably i'm
proved by giving them some attention
every day. A few minutes care will do
this, with extra work done on them
once a week. Several times a day push
back the skin. and this may be done
with the towel as you dry your hands
after bathing. Once day give quick
buf1ing to get the blood circulating I'M
der the nails and the surrounding cuti-
Gle, then at night rub cream into them
and all around the edges of the cuticle.

FOOD PROBLEMS
BY SALLY MONROE.
Butter One of Best Fats.

onLbCL OAV VI oSSV = oVS'
Experts classify butter with the fats
in diet, along with bacon, salt pork, oil,
suet, lard and cream. While it is pos
sihle 10 maintain life without fats, it is
really very important to have them, in
some form or other Fats, you know,
provide fuel for the body. Fuel is also
derived from sugar and starch; but food
becomes very unpalatable when 1t con-
tains no fat, and most persons are bet
ter off when they have a certain
amount in their diet.
It has also been found that butter has
certain vitamins which are not con-
tanned in certain butter substitutes. 1t
is therefore rather important for chill
dren to have some butter when 1t Is pos
sible.
An excessive amount Of butter is apt
to induce overweight. Large amounts
of butter may also disagree" In very
rare instances even small amounts of
butter seem to act as a sort OF poison.
But such cases are very rare indeed.
Otherwise butter seems to be a most
wholesome article of food.
Some persons seem TO overlook the
fact that butter, like milk, must be pro-
tected from impurities or that 1t may be
contaminated by improper handling. 1t
really Is important that milk and cream
to be used in the making of butter
should be handled with utmost scrupu-
lousness. Butter that contains any dis
agreeable flavor should certainly not be
eaten.

FAMOUS PERSONAL DIGS
Dr. Johnson Compared Scotland Most Undesirable

GLASS.

DR.. Samuel johnson was able to rap
the knuckles Of others with greater ia
cility, perhaps, than any other wise
cracker of his time. His habit Of speak
ing was apt to be slrly and gruf1. But
it was always to the point.
Very mixed companies used to dine
at Admiral walSingham's. DR.. John
son was a guest one night when the
others included such diverse personali-
ties as the Duke of Cumberland, Mr..
Leoni, the singer, and Marin, an OPP
tician.
A young naval officer whispered to
the guests that he intended to attack
the old bear, of whom they all seemed
to stand in such awe. He proceeded to
do so, but for a long time johnson re-
fused to pay any attention to his inn
pertinences. Finally the young man
said: Nov, DR.. johnson, do not look
so glunn, but be a little gay and lively
like others. What would you give to

Sir" said johnson, "I think would
almost be content to be as foolish"
One Of the great mans rudest
speeches was to a gentleman who said
to him pompously as they were coming
out of Lichfield cathedral "Dr. john
son, we have had most excellent dis
course today"
THAT may be-" he retorted, "but it
is impossible that you should know it."
The celebrated Hannah More once
praised johnson fulsomely to his face.
Consider what your fiattery is worth
before you choke me with It," he said.
He felt superior to women and this may
explain his rudeness to Miss More. A
few years later he valued her COM
mendations highly.

who are afraid to walk into a roomful
of strangers, who are afraid to speak
out In company. The cause of shyness
lies in yourself, in your imagination, not
in reality.
As far as conversation is concerned
you can be sure that any girl who
speaks out what she thinks is interest
ing. 1t, Is only when you try to figure
out what some one else wants you to
interesting thoughts. And the only way
to be at ease is to be yourself. II you
are trying to do what you think Is ex-
pected Of you 1t as as though you were
bound up with cords. And you will act
in constrained and uneasy manner.
You cannot rely on experience to re-
lease you from the prison of shyneSs.
You must find another recipe. I sug-
gest that q good one is to forget what
you yourself are feeling and try to re-
member what everybody else In the
room Is doing and feeling. It's not a
bad recipe.
Shyness in young people is an at
tractive quality to the person looking
on, but it's torture to yourself. Shy
people are often very winning. Both
the man and the woman whom I have
described to you are charming, partly
because OF their shyness. But they
themselves suffer.

Every available inch in the court
room was taken by curious specta-
tors Friday afternoon in anticipa-
ton that Nan would take the wit

had been intimated earlier by her
counsel, William Fish MarSteller,
and a conference was ordered by
Judge Killits to determine what
questions would be asked her.
AS court reconvened, however,
Marsteller began reading excerpts
from Mans book, tending to show
the suffering the expectant mother
experienced before Elizabeth Ann

sought to discredit the authors
