Lesson for August II
DANIEL.

GOLDEN TEXT-Know ye not
that your body Is the temple or the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which
ye have OF God?-I Corinthians 6:1S.
PRIMARY TOPIC-How Daniel
Grew Strong.
JUNIOR TOPIC-Ten Times Strong.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR
TOPIC-Obeying the Laws Of Health.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT
TOPIC-Motives for Total Abstin-
ence.
The lessons committee has desig-
mated this lesson, Temperance and
Health" In the use Of this as a
temperance lesson 1t must be borne
in mind that it is temperance In the
sense Of self-mastery, rather than
having to do with indulgence in in
to1cating liquors Daniels self
mastery was due to his right rela-
ton and loyalty to his God. 1t Is
utterly futile to hope to enforce
a program Of temperance upon those
who are in rebellion against God.
I. Daniel In Captivity In Babylon
wv. 1-4).
Daniel with his companions were
carried away to Babylon in the first
siege Of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnez-
EAR. At the command Of the king,
certain choice young men were car
ried away because they were Skill
full In wisdom, and cunning In
knowledge, and understanding sci
ence," that they might be trained
to stand in the kings palace.
.. II. Daniels Trials wv. SD.
/. Conscience tested ". %. BY
the appointment Of the king, a daily
provision was arranged of the kings
meat and wine for David and his
companions. This was contrary to
the custom among the cody Jews.
Being contrary to the Jewish Gus
toms they could not cOnscientiously
partake Of them.
2. The change Of name wv. 9, y.
Among the Hebrews names were
given to children which were most
significant. Daniel means "GOd Is
my Judge" The significance Of this
name Is that all the problems Of life
were submitted to God for decision.
God was made the arbitrator of his
life. His name was changed to
Belteshazzar, which means Bells
prince" 1t meant, therefore, one
whom the chief god of the Baby
lonians favors. Hananiah means
"gift or beloved Of Jehovah" His
name was changed to Shadrach,
which signified 'fllumined by the
sun god, Rach." Mishael means ''who
is as GodT' His name was changed
to Meshach, which means who Is
like the goddess, Sheshach, the gen.
tie oneY' Azariah means Jehovah
is our help" This was changed to
Abednego, which means "the serv-
ant Of Nego." Back Of the change
Of names was the attempt of Satan
to wipe out the name Of the true
God and to have these young men
to lose their separation, thus becOm-
ing assimilated among the heather.
III. Daniels Courtesy wv. S-13).
Daniel seems to have been the
spokesman for the company. Al
though his heart was fixed, he did
not forget to be a gentleman. He
requested to be excused from this
meat and drink in order that he be
not defiled. We should learn from
this that in times even Of great
trials we should be courteous. When
Daniel asked that a test be made

Relief
Continued From First Page)

Continued From First Page)
this way the public debt is So 2297,-
100,245 less than the $50, 0,549, ,273,9S3
figure given in Treasury statements
as of the close of business December
20, because the cash on hand totaled
s2,297, ,1G0.245.
The press conference developed into
a general discussion of relief and
budget conditions, with questions
drawing the President out on many
angles of the two problems. Some Of
his other statements we're:
A published report that next years
budget would total $1,000 100000 with
a deficit of 81, 500 900 900. was another
bad guess and that he had not seen
one speculative estimate on the budget
that was right.
His previous estimate Of public
debt Of $50, 700, ,000 900 at the end Of
this fiscal year was not far off, and
that many stories being printed about
the public debt were plain common
receptions.
The record Of the Public Works
Administration in getting projects
under contract by December IS was
not bad.
Housing Projects Started.
Out of so housing projects. the
President said in discussing this last
point, 48 were under contract on the
mid-December deadline date and 88
per cent of the funds for other public
works had been placed under contract,
excluding those projects held up by
litigation or other outside circum-
stances
A question about how nearly w. P A.
came to taking care of the $500, 900
employables on relief started the Presi-
dents discussion of the problem.
He pointed to the last report show
ing the works-relief drive was only
10000 short of its goal.
Asked whether the public was JUS
/ titled in believing the Federal Gov
ernment was committed to taking
care of all employables, Mr.. Roose-
welt replied that it was a presump-
ton to say the public had any thought
on the subject because he did not
believe it did.
Then reviewing the history Of the
work-relief fund, the President said
| he had made his estimate for relief
last January when a survey showed
there were 3.5O0,Oo0 employables who
were needy and unemployed.
| On that basis, he said, he estimated
| $4,000 100000 would be required and
Congress appropriated it. That was
simple mathematical statement, the
President said, adding that if there
were less than 3,5OO,00O. the money
would not be spent, but if there were
more, it would not be enough.

INSPECTOR RATES
LOCAL jA|LS LOW
a. Per Cent Held Unfit or
Unsafe to House Fed
eraI Prisoners.

By the Associated Press.
United States inspectors, seeking
lockups to hold Federal prisoners, have
condemned" A per cent of the local
jsils they have visited as unfit or
unsafe.
Sanford Bates, director of the
Bureau of Prisons, disclosed today that
1878 of the 1884 jails inspected by
his men from July l, 1880, to June 80,
1885, were barred from housing Federal
prisoners. The inspectors visited city
and county institutions in majority
OF the country's 5000 cities.
The local jails were not judged on
the high standards required of Federal
institutions, but on requirements con-
sidered necessary for safe-keeping per-
sons over short periods, Bates said.
The Government houses in local jails
some prisoners awaiting trial or serv-
ing short terms.
Three Jails Score High.
Only three jails in the country rated
over 80 per cent on the Prison Bureaus
score sheet Although Bates did not
name them. they are located in Cali
fornia, Idaho and Minnesota.
More than half of the jails inspected
i, ,772-rated under SO per cent of
requirements.
Food" and buildings and equip
ment" are heavily weighted in the
Governments estimate of a jairs
fitness. Next in Importance come "ad-
ministration and discipline" and per
sonnet" Other elements on the score
sheet are cleanliness and sanitation,
medical service, employment and in
dustries, rehabilitation. hospital, per-
sonal hygiene and religious instruc-
tions.
Fee System Held Evil.
Bates attributes poor conditions to
the fee system, under which sheriff
or constable is paid on the basis of
the number of men in the Jail, runs
the Jail out of the fees, and pockets
the remainder
obviously, a system that starves
the prisoner to pay the jailer is an
evil" he observed.
The prison director offered two sug-

state prison farms to replace local
jailS for prisoners serving sentences.
Under present deplorable condi-
tions," Bates said. the local jail is
often a sort of third degree place for
the innocent, where a decent man
would be tempted to confess to
crime, whether he committed it or
not in order to get out of the local
Jail and into State institution
