Why Buddha Is Known by
Several Different Names

Buddhas name was Gautama-
Prince Gautama, son of the king OF
Maghada and a member of the fam
lily or tribe of Sakya. The rest of
his several names are titles rever-
emily bestowed upon him by his fol-
lowers, or given to represent him in
his various aspects, according to q
writer in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
He is Sakya Muni, which is Sax

is 'Sakya the lion" He is Buddha

WHY:
Scalp Specialists Approve
Wearinx Hat Outdoors.

With the return of warm weather
many people are inclined to save
money by becoming converts to the
slatless fad. Some people are con-
vinced that going bareheaded is
good for the hair and scalp. Others
hold the opposite view and advise
wearing hats. II the matter were
left entirely up to the scalp special
/ lists, observes a writer in Pathfind-
er Magazine, they would say:
"Wear your hats outdoors if you
want to keep your hair healthy and
attractive" Sunshine in short ex-
posures, they claim, is wholesome,
but daily overdoses are sure to re-
suit in damage.
A leading scalp specialist, while
pointing out the havoc wrought to
the hair and scalp by going hatless,
explains it, this way:
"The sun throws off both actinic
and infra-red rays The former
have chemical action. The latter
burn. Both together will discolor
or bleach and burn the hair, espe-
cially brown and dark hair. They
dry out and irritate the scalp and
retard its normal functions.

The WORLD For GOD
''In that same hour He cured
many."-Luke, 7-21.

The average American family
spends one hundred and forty dol
lars a year for illness, according to
recent insurance investigation of
the subject.
That's a pretty fair sized bill for
for sickness, isn't it? A fellow has
to work long time to save one
hundred and forty dollars (and it
has to be saved and spent), in addi-
ton to the regular running ex-
penses of family.
In ten years it amounts to four
teen hundred dollars. Many man
has had a start on less than this. A
little restaurant, or a peanut stand,
or what have you?
Physicians agree that health is
the normal condition of the body.
Unless there is inherited or trans
mitted disease, there need be no
disease, if a person is careful.
Accidents happen, of course.
AS we read all this there is
another thought that impresses it.
self on our mind-the cost of SIN.
Queer word "Sin." You don't hear
much about it any more, but most
of the older generation were raised
within the sound of it.
Sin costs, not only lot of money
and lot of time and a lot of worry
and sorrow-but it also costs etern-
al happiness.
Sin is not the natural condition
of Man. He picked it up from his
anceStors-inherited it-but there
has been lot of activity by the
Ways and Means Committee, since
the Original Sin fastened itself on
Humanity.
The Sin disease has developed
nightly and there are more ways
of committing it today than there
are way of doing almost anything
else that Man is heir to.
There is only one Remedy and
that Remedy always works. The
Remedy does not cost a cent-not
bit of time, not even the smallest
bit of worry or sorrow.
Jesus Christ is the universal
Remedy.
In Gods World there is no room
for sin, but we do not learn that
