Who's Afraid of the DemOdex
 FOlllculcrum?

Who's Afraid of the DemOdex
 FOlllculcrum?
 A wee little mite less than one- fifth of a millimeter long, yet ex- amined under low-power micro scope this mite, glorying in the name of Demodex folliculorum, is seen to have a head, thorax, abdo- men, eight legs, four on each side of the thorax, each leg with three joints and terminating in minute booklets. The wormlike Demo- dex is a member of the Acarus tribe. Possibly you have met Avrus scabiei, the mite which causes the itch.
 Physicians have long assumed that Demodex folliculorum is q harmless little parasite which may be regarded as q normal or natural inhabitant of the sebaceous duct or the sebum or skin oil in the duct. If the host happens to have whtie- heads (com edOnes), why that's all right with the Demodex. The un- complaining little mite just keeps filling his nichec to the best of his ability.
 Now people often pressed out tho thick sebum from a whitehead" or "blackhead" and because it resembles a small worm they think tho little column of extruded yell low sebum capped with dark rime or dust, is a Flesh worm." No so. Understand clearly the Dem nodex Is so small that no human eye can distinguish 1t without a good mag nifying glass.
 We told here some time ago of the report made by Drs Ayres and Anderson, Los Angeles skin special ists, of the benefit derived from treatment with itch salve in cases of acne rosacea and pityriasis. They noted the good effects of such treatment in long series of cases, and drew the inference that the Demodex might have something to do with such trouble, inasmuch as the parasite Is present in the se- baceous ducts in most cases, the parasite is of the Acarus family. and a parasiticide salve helps tho acne. Tho itch ointment, however, Is not suggested for acne rosacea cases in which the Demodex Is not found.
 The ointment is made of 30 grams OI DetdudpuLHOis w BidAhS VI sublimed sulphur; one-half ounce balsam of Peru, and one-half ounce of petrolatum. es
 Wash the skin thoroughly with hot water and plain toilet soap every night. For three nights only, follow the washing with an appli- cation of the itch salve. This usually causes temporary increase of redness and some slight peeling. but this reaction subsidies in a few days. Repeat the treatment once A week for two or three weeks.
 Improvement occurs in spite of the fact that some patients declare their skin Is so delicate it will not tolerate even soap and water scrub ping.
 The practice of some women. using cold cream and power or sub |stitutsng cleansing cream for soap and water washing, Is perhaps q factor of the predominance of acne rosacea in women.

out of thee shall come forth gov
ernor who shall be shepherd of my
people Israel" The Word of God
contains divine revelations. 1t is
Gods plan to have progressive
revelation; we may know more
about God today than was known
in ages past, provided we are ear
nest in our search.
v. Z. s'Then Herod privily called
the wise men and learned Of them
exactly what time the star appear
ed'' The evil within Herod now
blazed up in a flame of murder as
seen in verse 16. He wanted infor-
nation to be used in his plan of
numbering the child king. A man
either is getting better or worse
every day, with every act,
v. s. "And he sent them to
Bethlehem and said, Go and search
out exactly concerning the young
child; and when We have found
him, bring me word that l also may
come and worship him." Herod is
now a liar. He did not intend to
worship the child king, but to kill
him. Deceit in religion is the
greatest mockery.
V. g. "And they having heard
the king, went their way; and 10,
the star which they saw in the east
went before them till it came and
stood over where the young child
was'' God reveals himself, as one
walks in His ways. The Bible is
great constellation in which every
promise and precept is star, and
all it's stars stand over Christ.
VS.. 10, IL. "And when they saw
the star. they rejoiced with ex-
ceeding great joy. And they came
into the house and saw the young
child with Mary his mother; and
they fell down and worshiped him;
and opening their treasures, they
offered him gifts, gold, frankincense
and myrrh." These wise men gave
their best when they made offering.
They really worshiped in spirit and
in truth.
v. IL. "And they departed into
their own country another way"
When one is truly converted or
finds anew the will of God, he goes
another way"

Ch-,"c','s Part In World Affairs

N-''f'S fdfU In NOfIO AHdlFS
TIL rat the church ought to
t"ke IN world affairs is indicated in
10 orn'-al address of DR.. Albert
w Boaven, president of the Federal
Courcil of Churches, at its recent
convention He said Some have
rrctoeted that the church should
ccrf e itself to religion" and not
'r+crfere in the questions of JUS
tire. in the matters of war and
peace. in race relations, or in the
control of such great commercial
i~ed traffics. as liquor, arms, motion
pictures, and other powerful fac
tors in modern life. 1t may not be
surprising that the protest has
arisen. But is such a protest to be
taken seriously by the nation? OF
what good is conscience, of what
good is any moral principle, of what
good is any light and leading that
come to the children of men by
seeking guidance from the God at
the heart of the universe, If the
results Of these processes Of relig-
ion cannot be utilized by nation
to determine it's action at the time
of it's great need? Christian people
are called the salt of the earth,
s'but if the salt hath lost it's SAVIOR,
it is henceforth good for nothing
but to be cast forth and trodden un-
der the foot of men," A ministry
that has message but cannot or
will not speak of it, is sheer loss
where it should be great gain.

lazy man who publicly prayed as
follows: "Use me, o Lord, use me
in an advisory capacity. The

the good of all, rather than an or
der individualistically operated for
the selfish profit Of the few. Third,
the church should work for the abo-
lition of any system of living which
destroys brotherhood and fellow
ship through it's sanctification of
inequality. Fourth, the church can
help men to understand what is
now happening to them and why it
is happening. Fifth it must for
ever defend freedom Of speech and
assembly as the inalienable right
of all men, as their sole protection
against tyranny. Finally, the
church ought to proclaim a mes
sage of personal salvation and
change of heart, without which all
dreams Of better and more just
world turn to dust and ashes.

Birth and Infancy of Jesus,
Matthew Pip, for Sunday, Jan. 4:
During the next six months the
International Uniform Sunday
school lessons will be found in
Matthew, and the general theme
will be the Gospel of the Kingdom.
Matthew, a Jew, aimed to show his
brethren that Christ was the prom
ised Messiah; he more than any
other gospel writer based his gos-
pei on sayings found in the Old
Testament, which were considered
most trustworthy by all Jews.
v. 1. "Now when Jesus was
born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the
days of Herod the king. behold,
wise men from the east came to Je-
rusalem.' The time and place of
his birth is known; the gospel mar
rative sets its record in the solid
frame of history. Christ was not
born in dream, but in Bethlehem.
v. Q. Where is he that is born
king of the Jews? For we saw his
star in the east and are come to-
worship him. These wise men did
not seek Christ to satisfy curiosi
ty, nor seek facts for specula-
ton and for justifying their own
creed or claim; they sought Jesus
for the simple purpose of worship
ing Him.
v. 8. sAnd when Herod the king
heard it, he was troubled, and all
Jerusalem with him." Herod was
a bad man. a usurper stepped in
crime, and was ever in fear of be-
ing displaced by another. Evil and
crafty men are full of trouble, and
spread trouble about them.
" 4. "And gathering together
all the chief priests and scribes of
the people, he inquired of them
where the Christ should be BORN
Even the worst men call on relig-
ious leaders for help when in trou-
BILE. The best source of help is the
Bible, which ought to be searched
and known better.
VS.. 5, 6. "And they said unto
him, In Bethlehem of Judea; for
thus it is written through the
prophet: And thou Bethlehem,
land of Jurea, art in nowise least
among the princes of Judah: for

Start Farm Accounts january /

Your 1894 farm account book is
waiting for you at the extension Of
fee, and should be started on the
first of January this year. In the
past all accounts were started on
March 1, but it was almost impos-
sible to get the summaries out in
time to be of use to the cooperators
on account of starting All club
work. While starting the accounts
on the first of January may be of
assistance in making out tax re-
turns, the records are absolutely
private and used only in making out
the county summary. A copy of this
summary which contains compare
son figures is given to each cooper
atOr. These books cost IA cents to
print, and this cost must at present
be passed on to the farm account
keepers. AS the All club agent I
will be glad to help anyone interest
ed in starting this work during the
month of January.-G. G. Everhart.
