 The Commissioners announce ment was made after he had spent the day in conference with the producers who, he said, represented more than 90 Der cent Of .le total industrial alcohol output of the United States. The conference was called for the purpose of renewing the voluntary arrangement by which production is restricted to the estimated requirements of the countrys business. Such an arr engagement has been in effect each year since 1927, and pr. Doran de- scribed it as the most effective system he has been able to devise for control of alcohol as provided by the National Prohibition Act.

These are great steps forward. We

Ambulant Pneumothorax.

A comparative study of Al patients
who were not required to stay in hos
pitfalls and 124 hospital patients receiv-
ing the pneumothorax treatment for
tuberculosis, by Drs. Polk and Bosnieres
of Paris, convinced the doctors that
there is no superiority in the results
obtained by disqualification. They en-
phasize, however, the great importance
of giving the patient proper rest and
proper diet at home as he would receive
If he were in the tuberculosis hospital,
especially during the first SIX months of
the treatment.
This pneumothoraX lair in chest cav
ity) treatment is much used everywhere
nowadays, and particularly for cases
where the disease is limited or definitely
established in one lung. The treatment
consists in regular injections of air, or
of oxygen with air, for the purpose Of
collapsing the diseased lung more or
less, or perhaps 1t would be more &C
curate to say restricting its movements,
thus giving the sick lung rest. This
greatly aids the natural healing process
In the ambulant treatment the pa
tient reports to the doctors Office for
the air injections at intervals of week
for several months. Usually half pint,
more or less, of air or air and oxygen
Is injected at each sitting. After sew
eral months the air is given only once
in two weeks.

A Sermon for Today
Good Conscience.

Holding a good conscience"-1.
Timothy lie.
The man who holds a good conscience
holds a priceless possession. There is
no greater curse than bad conscience;
but a good conscience is one Of LIES
greatest blessings.
A guilty conscience makes man a
craven coward. 20 coward conscience,
how thou dost afflict me! OF the man
with guilty conscience the Bible says:
Fear shall terrify him on every side
and shall entangle his feet" Who can
describe the rniseries of such man?
good conscience reverses this: 1t dis
pels fear and frees ones feet from all
entanglements
One never knows the joy and salts
faction OF living until he knows what
1t is to have conscience void of Of
Tense. You may suffer misfortune, but
If you have consciousness of a pure
heart and blameless life, you are, after
all, the most fortunate of men. It is
not in always gaining our ends that
we find peace and happiness, but rather
from the sense that we have done our
best and kept our honor. A still and
quiet conscience brings a peace above
all earthly dignities, and a sweet con-
tent such as no success or wealth can
purchase.
Something else. No matter what
happens to one, If he has a clear con-
science. he can always face the world
with straight eye and a brave heart
The poet expresses this in the lines
His strength was as the strength of ten
because his heart was so pure"
An evil conscience renders one weak
and coWardly. But keep your heart
pure and you need never be afraid OF
anything or anybody Bad men are
weak men. AS long as things go well
with them, they may boast of their
strength and success, but let some
calamity befall them and see how they
will be humbled and what towards they
will show themselves to be. The good
man may fail, but he will have nothing
of which to be ashamed or afraid; hav-
ing a conscience unscarred, he can still
go out to meet the world with the
sense of integrity and dignity; and
that sense will lend courage to his
heart and strength to his arm, as he
goes about to fight his way back to
victory and renewed success. What a
pity so many Of us fail to see that
evil offers no gain that can compen-
safe one for the loss of the blessing
Of a good conscience.

YOUR BABY AND MINE
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

The problems which confront a pro-
spective mother actually terrify her.
She wonders how she can possibly learn
all the things she will need to know.
All she has to do is TO look around her.
She will note hosts Of successful
mothers who are possessed Of no super
human intelligence. If she reads and
nils her mind with general knowledge
about baby care, some of the specific
problems solve themselves. Some of
them the baby solves for her, for we
cannot always decide beforehand ex-
actiy how a problem is to be handled:
much depends upon the baby.

tail for some distance, and this tail, in
stead of being almost bare like the tail
of Robber the Rat was covered with
hair. 1t was black on the upper and
lower sides and ended in a tuft of
pure white. Instead of a rough coarse
coat such as Robber wears and takes
no care of, the stranger wore a fine
silky coat. In each cheek opening from
the outside was a pocket lined with
fur. This, however, Flip didn't see.
All this was surprising enough, but
almost at once Flip received another
and greater surprise. The stranger
started off and instead of running as
Robber would have done he moved IN a
series of jumps, and Flip discovered
that his front legs were very short,
while his hind legs and feet were very
long. and when ne jumped that long

Tessie herself felt that she had done

after all, she was entertaining them as

Old Mother Nature.
Several times when out with his
master Flip the Terrier had discovered
queer mounds Of sand which had
aroused his curiosity because they had
entrances opening level with the
ground, and when he shifted at those
entrances he smelled Rat. II 1t wasn't
Rat smell 1t was something very like IL
It wasn't Just the scent that Robber
the Rat used to leave around Farmer
Browns barn, but 1t was enough like II
to get Flip much excited. for he dearly
loves to hunt Rats. He would bark and
dig furiously. but his master never
would wait for him, and so he would
have to give up and hurry on
Sometime I will come back all by
myself" he would say. Yes, sir, that
is what I will do. Then II there are
any Rats in one of these mounds they
better look out
So it happened that Just at dusk one
evening Flip remembered those mounds
and decided that as the nearest one
was not far away this would be a good
time to pay visit there. Farmer
Browns Boy was of somewhere and
Flip had nothing in particular to do.
He had slept through the heat Of the
day and was beginning to long for ex-
element. So when no one at the ranch
was looking he slipped away and
trotted straight over to the nearest
mound.
IN approach quietly" thought Flip.
perhaps may surprise one of those
Rats outside. If / do he'll never know
what happened to him. No, sir, he
never will. I'll catch him and shake
him to death before he can so much
as squeak"
So Flip approached the big mound
very slowly and carefully. AS he drew
near he thought he saw two or three
forms moving about outside that
mound. He quivered all over with ex-
element. He crept up back of the
mound 80 that 1t would be between
those moving forms and himself Then
he prepared to make a rush around it
and grab the nearest Rat.
Just then out of hole more than
two feet from him was poked head.
1t looked like the head of a Rat, yet 1t
didn't. It was longer than the head of
any Rat Flip ever had seen, and never
had he seen q member of Robbers
family with such long whiskers or such
big eyes that seemed to be popping
right out Then. too, the color of that
head wasn't right. It was rather yell
lowiSh, white around the nose and on
the throat and whitish around the eyes
and ears. All this Flip saw without
really thinking anything about it.
However, he kept still, hoping that this
Rat would come wholly out.
For q moment or two the Rat sat in

In the meantime Tessie went toward

and finally struck of along a narrow
path that led over the bridge toward

Of mansions whose closely yelled win

going on. And the pulse of the Stod-

be distinctly heard from the concrete
walk that led from the tradesmen's
drive TO the laundry.
The washing machine was pumping
cheerfully. That meant that Rosie

Tessie tapped on a window. and Rosie

The butler came down. and, seeing
Bobby, took him up to the kitchen and
gave him piece Of chocolate cake. Be
ing on good terms with Rosie, he car

Survival of Candlelight

It's a pretty light. That's its secret.
A pleasing light. Like some lovely
woman who, without dash or snap,
holds her own because she is so lovely,
and because she brings out the best
In others and herself.
The most effective candle Is usually
the plainest Long, Handicapped tapers
continue to hold their own for the
dinner table Their slender simplicity
is more pleasing than the most elabo-
rate fluting Of the more pretentious
candles.
They come in all colors. all shades.
For the dinner table white, pale vel
low, pale pink, are perhaps the colors
most usually chosen. But II colored
flowers are used and the candles can
be found in matching shade, they are
often chosen.
It is not only on the dinner table
that candles are used. They are placed
in sconces on the wall They deck
mantelpieces. They are used in pairs
on bureaus and dressing tables.

A FTER candlelightl That's Q pic
turesque phrase that we use in
these days Of electricity to indicate
evening.
1t isn't Just a phrase, either For
candles, in spite of their inefhciency,
still flicker bravely on many dinner
tables, while the electric bulbs above
them remain dark.
We like csndlelight 1t is soft and
fiattering. 1t makes us look our love-
lest. And perhaps in its very flicker
there is a suggestion Of romance, OF
mystery, of a departed past that casts
a fascination over our very exciting
and satisfying present.
At all events, we turn back the good
part of century when we choose
candles to light our rooms. Whale-oil
lamps, kerosene lamps, Illuminating gas
with all its mprovements-we discard
them all and go back to the light that
lighted our ancestors through hundreds
Of years and volumes of history.
