THAT BODY OF YOURS
BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. ID.

months, $50 articles on rheumatism
and arthritis were published in Eng
nsh, French and German alone. OF
this number almost 90 per cent had
to do with treatment rather than with
the cause
What were the forms of treatment?
There were different forms of heat.
dry and moist; the use of mud baths,
peat and parafin- baths; the use
current is applied to the interior of
the Joint itself instead of to the sur
face of the skin. In anthritis of the
hip joint it is found that mot single
method known gives such good results
as diathermy"
Massage and medical gymnastics
offer another form of treatment which
in skilled hands gives excellent results
in many cases.
The use of light in various forms.
sunlight. ultra violet rays. and the use
of the X-ray-were found helpful.
The diet treatment consists in cut
ting down on the starchy foods
potatoes, bread, pastry.
> The medical treatment Is still the
use of the salicylates, which relieve
pain and aid the circulation. Research
workers are not agreed as to the value
of vaccines in rheumatism.
Finally, surgical treatment, relieving
pain by cutting certain nerves, is being
used in some forms of rheumatism.
With so many kinds of treatment
YOU can see that curing rheumatism
must be a difficult matter.
The prevention of rheumatism-re-
moving infection from the system
should be really our first thought.

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE w. sPRowLs.

Intolerance is a name for state of
mind; it is a symptom of mental dis
ease. A great many of our mental all
ments are associated with some faulty
organization of ideas.
There are at least three kinds of in
tolerant persons. First there is the in
tolerant person who has developed
system of water-tight compartments for
his ideas. He refuses to be influenced
by the fact that most questions are
open propositions.
In the second sense intolerance is re-
lated to laziness which is a disease. So
afflicted, the intolerant man easily
imagines that he has been intrustcd
with the guardianship of finalities. Un-
able to defend his position against the
onslaughts of the inquiring, he resorts
to that curious mechanism called ra-
tionalization. He flies into mental
tantrum and summarily dismisscs all
his questioners.
In the third sense, intolerance means
inferiority. The intolerant man tries
to cover up his inferiority by assuming
superiority. Parading as guardian of
truth and finality, protesting that he
is honest, he poses as victim OF or
ganized opposition in order to save
his face" person never becomes in
tolerant until he at least vaguely sur
misses that he is losing his grip on
things. that some one has partially re-
moved the mask he assumed for the
protection of his opinions.

A Sermon for Today
Things Not Seen.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.

The things which are seen are tenn
seen are eternal. II Corinthians, iv.18.
We live in the midst of and by
means of things which are not seen"
Light, which makes all things clear,
is to us invisible. We cannot see the
atmosphere, but we can see objects
through it, and in the atmosphere we
live.
The unseen is the real. Behind all
visible objects, and giving them their
reality, is the invisible God Divine
truth, goodness, love and mercy, though
they have neither material form nor
visible color, are all about us and are
as real as life itself. However, it is
only by the exercise of vigorous faith
that we are able to realize this fact.
Because Of our placement in relation
to material things and their preten-
sions, we are prone to believe that the
poor, shabby illusions of the temporal
are the precious things.
The man who rises above the ma
terial and lights his candle at the
altar of the invisible gains clear vision
and wider prospect; sublimity inspires
his thought, royalty impels and crowns
his actions, moral and spiritual grandeur
invests his life.
"And now, o Blessed Spirit, teach
me the way of holy meditation! Then
shall /. have the open vision. I seem
now SO often to have to feel my way
in the dark. Give me the undimmed
eye of faith.
Il ask no dream. no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of this veil of clay;
No angel visitant, no opening skies,
But take the dirnness of my soul away.
Too often spiritual things appear as
mere shadows. May I begin to see
that they are the great realities of life,
Show me, o Lord, how to open the
door of heavenly contemplation and
then, in the secret of His presence
shall come to know better the reality
me a mystic in the highest and best
sense of that much misunderstood
word. May I come to know the hidden
things of God. Thou hast said that
the secret of the Lord is with them
that fear Him Thou knowest, o Lord,
that / fear Thee and love Thee. But
I want to know Thee better and love
Thee more Therefore, I wait at Thy
feet and plead for Thy mercy. Be
gracious, Lord, even unto me, and let
the words of my mouth and the medi-
tation of my heart be acceptable in Thy
sight, o Lord, my strength and my re-
deemer.' - (Mahood)
Give ear to my words, o Lord: con-
slider my meditation In the morning
will I direct my prayer unto Thee, and
will look UP, and in Thy fear will
worship toward the holy temple"

SPRINCTIME
BY d. C. PEATTIE.
Azalea.

n laurel, the aZalea is one of
wv the most admired Spring
flowers in Eastern United
States. In Europe there is
no aZalea except on the high Alps, with
some rhododendron in Lapland. They
have no real dogwood, but only the
little bunchberry on the ground in
Scandinavia, and no mountain laurel
of any sort. These three beauties
make up little for the fact that
among our Spring wild flowers we lack
such little beauties as daffodil and
squill, snowflake snowdrop, jonquil,
poets narcissus, celandine, sweet violet
wood and mountain laurel are ours.
They give our Spring its enchanting
quality of wilderness -in flower, and
they fit with our own peculiar bird
life, the white-throats and warblers. the
mockingbirds and cardinals-part of
the sweet Appalachian Spring.
Our common aZalea, if I remember
rightly, is under the protecting cloak
of the Wildf1ower Preservation Society,
morally if not legally
They tell tale out in the Yosemite
OF woman who was fined the maxi
mum of 5000 for picking a bunch of
aZaleas. 1t sounds severe, and per-
haps the tale isn't true, but severe or
false. it points a lesson-that public
opinion is solidly behind the law in the
Yosemite for protecting the Trailer
beauties of the place. One severe pun
ishment of that sort acts in salutary
way and prevents hundreds of other
cases of laxity
1t isn't practical to try to protect
azalea here that way. and, furthermore,
the situation is complicated by the fact
that many poor farmers sell aZalea off
their own land. They have a right to
exploit their resources as they like. and
undoubtedly they need the money, for
wherever azalea grows be sure the soil
is poor. All that. the conscientious
flower lover and conservationist can do
IS to refrain from picking and refrain
from buying.
l never cared much for azaleas when
picked. They soon droop, the whole
corolla hanging Imply forward on the
stamens. They reveal the weakness
of all the heath family, which has failed
to solder its flower parts firmly together.
Azalea, like most wild flowers, is at
its loveliest where it belongs, in the
wild.
There is some confusion in many
peoples minds about the name for
azalea. Country people call it honey
suckle'' because of its honey odor and
its slightly two-lipped flower. Books
call it "pinxter flower" name I never
heard used out of doors. Scientifically
speaking, some books put it under
azalea and call it azalea nudiflora. while
others call it rhododendron. The fact
remains that no very good common
name exists for it, azalea being the
Latin name, and "honeysuckle" entirely
misleading.

Winter twigs, with their precious oblong

palms fastened tightly together, form
a fiat bag that incloses the baby shoot

The bag rips along its edges, the petiole

halves are folded at the midrib. The
pale little leaf turns dark green color.

Children's Parties and Picnics
BY EDITH M. BARBER.

There should be tiny bread and butter
sandwiches. both brown and white.
These may be cut in fancy shapes IL
YOU like. Jelly and celery may be
served in addition with this course.
For dessert, orange jelly in orange
skin cups with whipped cream is att
tractive, although ice cream in fancy
mold Is always popular. 1t is usually
wise to choose vanilla flavor for a chill
dren's party. There may be small
cookies of attractive shapes, or little
sponge cakes decorated with brightly
colored candies. There should not be
heavy frostings, even on the birthday
cake For a beverage there may be-,
as well, as many children do not find
a meal complete without a glass OF
milk.
For a supper party, food for the very
little children should be even more
simple. A hot soup or cocoa with
sandwiches which owe their attraction
to their shape and with simple filings.
such as minced egg. peanut butter, and
jelly, may make the first course. Des- .
sert may be a plain ice cream or a
lovely mold of gelatin type. Not long
ago I dropped in on a party of this
sort and heard one of the children ask
If she could have cereal instead of the
dessert passed to her! She liked best
what she usually had for her home
support
An attractive birthday cake may be
made from an unfrosted angel food
cake with procession of animal
crackers which have been dipped in
chocolate, marching around it. The
candles in fancy holders decorate the
top. A very thin frosting may, how
ever, be used in the interest of decora-
ton and the contrast between it and
the colored candle holders is better.
If the weather is warm and sunny
you may like to plan a trip to the
beach for an hour or two on the sand
and then lunch in the car with cocoa
from vacuum bottles or milk, sand
wiches, COOKIES and fruit.

Even when the party meal Is lunch
con it should be simple. Children are
much more interested in an attractive
looking table and favors than they are
in elaborate food. In fact, most chill
dren prefer the food to which they are
accustomed
The meal may begin with cream
SOUP The choice of favors will depend
upon the vegetables you serve, but pea
or spinach soup is usually liked by all
the children. The main course may be
lamb chops. roast chicken, or creamed
chicken if the sauce is not too rich.
Stuffed baked potatoes, sweet or white,
will go with any meat. If you want to
make this course more decorative, you
might serve creamed peas in little
boats made of whole carrots. Large
tender beets may be cooked, followed
out, and filled with creamed spinach.

added advantage of not needing daily

Liver and Bacon.

Divide one pound of calves liver into
thin slices, cash the slices here and
there with sharp knife, brush with
melted butter, then place between the
oiled bars of a griller, or on the
creased bars of a grill. Grill slowly
until half done, then season with pep
per and salt, finish cooking, and serve
garnished with grilled curls of bacon.
Add one tablespoonful of minced pars-
ley to some butter and pour over. If
liked, this can also be garnished with
fried croutons of bread

Tulip Tree.
LirOdendron Tulipifera,

Lirodendron Tulipifera.
TINE tulip tree is one of our most
beautiful native trees and can
easily be told from any other.
i During the entire Summer, its
unusual leaves, four -lobed and
from 4 to inches long, and broad. and
appearing to have their tips cut off at
right angles to the mid-rib, make 1t an
easy tree to identify, even from con-
siderable distance. The whole tree flut-
ters with the slightest breeze. In the
Spring the buds are unique, consisting
of leaf-like scales, each hugging baby
leaf. This is characteristic that no
other American tree possesses.
In early June the beautiful and in
teresting flowers appear. They look
very much like the tulip blossom and
this is why the tree is called the tulip
poplar. Each blossom has three sepals
and six petals. The sepals are green
ish and as rule bent slightly back
ward. The petals are in the form OF
a cup and are decorated with splashes
of brilliant orange to attract the atten-
ton of the flying army of insects. Here
swarms of bees congregate and have
great drinking feasts. Tulip honey is
strongly favored, but delicious.
The cone-like fruit, which is so cas-
is made up of fat. overlapping blades.
They are quite like the seed-wings of
the maple and are found in the base
of the blade.
During the strong Winter winds the
scales loosen and fall. The winds
gather these flying seed babies and
carry them a long distance from home.
Wherever seed falls on good ground,
it begins at once to investigate and soon
a wee tulip tree is seen. A mother tulip
always has many, many children dane
ing at her feet or very near by.
The tulip is famous for its unusual
symmetry and stateliness. The deep
furrowed bark on the old specimens is
smooth and bitter. On the younger
trees, the ashy-gray bark has light
spots on it. The large leaf scars, marked
with scattered bundle scars, are also
an aid for Identification.
A grove of young tulip poplars is very
