THE ORPHAN

If you claim the love of Jesus
And you pass the orphan by,
Needing not his call for mercy
Nor for mercy hear his cry,
When you stand before the judy
ment
What will be your record there,
Having with your earthly substance
Failed these needy ones to share?
If we serve the Master truly
AS we journey On our way,
We must help the orphan chill
dren,--
Feed and clothe them ev'ry day.
Educate and teach them rightly,
Telling them of Jesus love,
Helping them into His kingdom,
And to Heaven far away.
Think of precious little children
Who have lost their parents dear:
Often left in homes so lonely
With no one to help and cheer:
Can you pass them by unaided,
Turn to them a heart that's cold
And expect the Lord to give you
Life eternal in His fold?
If these orphans were your chill.

The vosue-f for slenderizing fash

in the rayon industry. As original

There was some question as to
whether the scientist should turn
toward the making Of a yarn with

The former was decided upon and
accomplished. Later, with the

Families Estimated In
Need, Leads The List

An initial ALLEGATION of $748,750
for loans to be used in the pur-
chase of feed and necessities by
drought victims in five States was
announced in Raleigh Wednesday
by Regional Director Homer H.
B. Mask of the Resettlement ad-
ministration.
1t is anticipated that $4,000
families will need aid as result of
crop failures in Kentucky, Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Virginia
and West Virginia, the official
said.
Applications for loans from the
special drought ALLEGATION already
are being handled through the Of
fices of State directors of rural re-
habilitation in the five States, Dire
ctor Mask stated. ALLEGATIONS by
States, based On personal observa-
ton of regional and State officials
and reports from rehabilitation
supervisors and county agents, are
as follows:
Kentucky, estimated $4,000
families in need of help, $4,000;
Tennessee, estimated 5000 to s.
900 families, $275,ooo; North
Carolina, estimated $500 families,
$140, 900; Virginia, estimated H.
500 to 1000 families, 1870;
West Virginia, estimated 1000
families, ALLEGATION rot yet made.
One-half of the drought families
in Kentucky will be certified to
the WPA for aid, the official said.
"In addition" Mask said, I'VE
also have authorized the employ
ment of 500 additional workers to
be selected from drought families

swear off for two weeks, and at
the end of that time; you'll find
you won't be tempted to 60 back

hardens the cuticle, with the result
that. it becomes, more stubborn,
forming a. thick, ugly ridge, around

too, that steel instruments, parti-

may cause infection; soreness or
pain far below the visible edge of
the nail may result from an infer
ton starting at the side Or tip of
the nail.
In applying an oily cuticle re-
mover, wrap a piece Of cotton
around the end of an orange stick
and moisten it with the fluid.
Work the remover gently about
the sides and base of the nail. Wash
the hands in warm water and wipe
away the loosened particles with a
towel. Repeat faithfully every day
until the half-moon is exposed to
its fullest. An oily cuticle remov-
er feeds and nourish the cuticle and
nail-which alkaline soap, water
and dust are constantly drying-at
the same time it removes excess
cuticle. Use the oil after rather
than before applying polish. Most
women, in applying nail polish,
leave the half moon free. Cuticle
oil may then be applied every
night, with full benefit to cuticle
and base of the nail. Regular use
of both cuticle oil and an oil cuticle
remover discourages hangnails, and
soon you'll have no temptation at
all to return to shipping with the
scissors.
Callouses may be safely removed
with oil cuticle remover. With the
cotton-tipped orange stick dipped
in remover, gently work away the
upper surfaces. Remove a few lay
ers of the dead, hardened skin each
day until the c%allous is gradually
worn away, leaving a smooth even
