RIGHTEOUSNESS. EXALTED A
NATIONp
Except the Lord build the house,
They labor in vain that build it:
Except the Lord keep the city,
The Waterman waketh but in vain.
Ps. 1911.
The Father of our Country, George
Washington, in his farewell address
to the people to the United States,
spoke these words: "Of all the dis
positions and habits which lead to
political prosperity, religion and
morality are indispensable supports
LET us with caution indulge the
supposition that morality can be main
tanned without religion. Reason
and experience both forbid us to ex-
pect that national morality can pre-
vail in exclusion of religious prin-
ciple."
The ideals of life, liberty and equal
ity of opportunity on which this ma
ton is founded, and if which it is
justly proud, are based on religious
enthusiastically that cardinal prin-
ciple of Jesus teaching, the equal and
infinite worth of each individual in
the sight of God the Father. Are we
practicing that principle in all our re-
lations with other people? Failing
that, can We be called trVe citizens
of these United States?

through which exhaust steam sends heat. There is actually little, if any, change in the milk. From the vaccum pans the warm milk is pumped into homogenizers. Homo genization consists of forcing the milk through small aperture at tremendous pressure of 2,000 pounds per square inch. The size of the fat globule is reduced to one-sixth It's original diameter. Immediately upon leaving the homogenizerS the milk is pumped into glass-lined in- Sulated storage tanks. After that it is analysed by chemist and then pumped into the cans which are entirely closed except for small vent hole in the top. Sterilization of the dramatically sealed cans is effected by heating under steam pressure at rigidly controlled tenn perature for an exact period of time.

How much does a can hold? So many readers have asked that question that few specific facts about cans should be repeated here for their information. If your recipe calls for l cup of canned food, ask the grocer for an oz. can; if you want 1 IA cups exactly, buy a picnic size can; for half cup meas urements, use Baby Foods size, but for cups use No. can. Two and one-half cups comes in a No. 2 cans, 3 1-2 cups in a No. 1-2 size can 4 cups in No. 3. The large size, No. 10 holds between l2 and 13 cups.
 Another question often asked is "Just what is evaporated milk?" Tn warm weather, homes without good refrigeration are safer using evaporated milk because it is less likely to sour or become infected with germs. When travelling with young children evaporated milk is safer, too, unless you are sure of a pure milk supply. Of course, where there is adequate ice or automatic refrigeration canned milk is no safer or better than fresh milk from the dairy

 According to one nationally known manufacturer om a n ufacturer of manufacturer of evaporated milk, this is just what that produce is whole cows milk with about 60 per cent of the water removed be- fore it is dramatically sealed in cans.
 After being given every scientific fest for purity and fat content, the milk is pumped into preheaters to be heated to near boiling point. It 1s then drawn into glass; lined en- closed wells.

BLACK
Has It's Day As FaUOYite
BY MARIAN YOUNG NEA Service Staff Correspondent

New York-Sleek black dresses, which will see you through summers end and early fall and will be suitable to wear all winter as well, are shirred, trapped allur- ingly and finished with new and arresting details. This is the time to freshen your summer wardrobe with jet black frock to keep you cool and make you look smart.
 Black, as always, is the smartest color woman can wear. Besides, good black street dress always is the backlog of any well planned wardrobe. It, like tailored suits, simple coats, cashmere sweaters and other classics, is always in style-some- thing you inevitably go back to after few weeks of wearing whatever bright shades happen to be fashionable at the moment.
 White Touches Are Modest
 With many hot days ahead, you'll keep on wearing your summer prints, pastels and sheers, of course. But get black outfit now anyway, wear it for special dates through September. Have it cleaned and put it away during October when you're busily enjoying your fall suit and woolen dresses. Get it out again in November and appreciate it then as you will now.
 Look at black frocks with snowy white touches.

 Your Children
By Olive Roberts Barton

We call children good when they are completely under control, bad when they are not.
 This is not fair. The child with an easily satisfied spirit, the good child we are so fond of, may not get so many compliments when he is older. He may still depend on others to see him through.
 So we must not get our adjectives mixed.
 Usually, it is the self-confident strong -willed child who is called bad. He may be, of course, partic- ularly if he has made up his mind that no law but his own matters. But the colt that is hardest to break to harness or saddle usually leads the race, or can pull the greatest load. He can, on the contrary, be ruined in his breaking" by spoil ing his disposition and making him untrustworthy at any job.
 Our tendency today is to allow children their heads, it is true often, believe, unfortunately.
 But in spite of the fact that am in favor of general regimenta- tiontion and the ''muSts" of child hood, I still find many cases where misunderstood boy is too strictly handled.
 Treatment in Reverse
 There is a family whose two boys are treated almost entirely in reverse of the right order One boy is negative, a born conform CT, because it is the easiest way He has few sins of commission against his record, but omission is his middle name. He is men, tally and physically lazy.
 His brother, overf1owing with spirits and ideas, is always "at something. Naturally, certain percentage of his experiments are over the line. He is always be- ing spoken to-" or making up infractions. He hears, "Oh, why can't you be like Paul?' from one weeks end to the other.
 Naturally he is irritable, while Paul the perfect is perennially good
 Paul, exalted a lot by his own reputation, trades on it and finds it an incentive to make spectac- ular bids for still more praise. He, too, thinks Bill bad boy.
 Good Boy Merits Criticism
 All this his smart brother senses instinctively and resents, of course.
 Why does Paul not come in for some correction? He is merely negatively good. because he has not the energy to be anything else. He has no natural appetite for thrill. Energy usually has a certain excitement hunger for a side partner. What is tempta- tion for one person is only bore to- another Why not jack up Paul for not showing more inter est in life?
 It is Bill who needs the human understanding.
 Badness means deliberate vi- ciousness, and he is not that now. So why call him bad and his brother good? If Bills parents were fair, he would probably try more self control.
