A child's day is filled with school

How to Maintain Good Health.
To maintain good general health
one should eat plenty of vegetables
and fruits and avoid starchy and fat
ty foods. Proper clothing should also
be worn. 1t is well to wear light
underclothing indoors and to wear
heavy coats and jackets outdoors.
Avoid chilling, but exercise moderate
ly in the open air and sunshine.
Elimination of body wastes is also
important. Regular habits of eating
with sufficient water consumption
will do much to keep the body in
good condition. The adult should
have eight hours of restful sleep.
This will keep up resistance against
colds. Keep away from people who
have colds and those who cough and
sneeze. Always use your handker-
chief if you have a cold when cough
ing and sneezing.

By REV. M. MIKKEI SEN

And there were shepherds in tn,
same country abiding in the field
and keeping watch by night Over
their flock" duke 2:8).
David, the greatest of Israel:
kings, was always a shepherd, al.
ways lover of his people, for he
always had shepherds heart.
There is One who is far greater
than David; He came in the line Of
David; He had probably never known
the life of a shepherd such as Hi:
ancestors had known it; yet, when He
came to choose a name by which He
might be known He called himself
"the Good Shepherd" His friends
and followers would know what tina,
meant. Jesus said, that good shep-
herd would even lay down his life
for his flock.
Thus we may look at the King OF
men as King of love and as shep-
herd of men. What His name and
His effort stand for may be inter-
preted by using difficult phrases OF
definition, but far more clear and
convincing than any learned phrase
were the song of the angels by which
they brought to the shepherds "abid-
ing in the field" heavens message
of the Savior's birth in Bethlehem
There is such a beautiful picture
of "the gathering sheep" written into
a poem about the good shepherd
which, I think, reveals better than
any rigid and hard definition the
heart of the Christian gospel. 1 am
deeply grateful to the author for
this valuable Interpretation of Gods
love in its relation to men:
1.-THE master of the sheepfold
That guards the sheepfold bin
Look out in the gloomering meadows,
Where the long night rain begin
So he call to the hired shepherd:
is my sheep-is they all come in?'
Oh then, says the hired shepherd:
There is some there is black and thin,
And some, there is poor old weddars,
But the reSt-they is all brung in
"Then the master of the sheepfold
That guards the sheepfold bin
Goes down in the gloomering mea-
dows,
Where the long night rain begin
So he lets down the bars of the
sheepfold
Calling soft: Come income in
Calling soft: Come income in
"Then up through the gloomering
meadows,
Through the cold night rain and wind,
And up through the gloomering rain
-paf'
Where the sleet fall piercing thin
The poor lost sheep of the sheepfold
They all comes gathering in
The poor lost sheep of the sheepfold
They all comes gathering in"
"Oh look, they are going to make
Him carry it up that hill. They are
going to nail Him to it. Oh, that's
a terrible burden for one man to
carry" (From: The Green Pastures.)
The kingliest life that any one of
us can choose to live is the life of
a shepherd. BY this is meant life
which is deliberately planned as a
life in loving service for all man
kind. 1t will bring more Joy and
more happiness than any other kind
of life, and more kingly power.

eency Is continuing to do so today.
To this I am unalterably opposed.
But this is not the time to deprive
the Commander in Chief of our
Army and Navy of his power to act
or the President of the United
States of the necessary authority to
make our foreign policy effec-
tive. 80
Mr.. Willkie said the United States
probably would be involved in war
regardless of the position it took on
developing international affairs.
The real issue now, he said, "is
whether we are going to live in the
future as free men or whether the
attack of the totalitarian powers is
to destroy our prospect of freedom
and force us, in desperation, to
undertake another form of gov
ernment."
Not Merely Domestic Danger.
Mr.. Willkie said he believed con-
centration of power in the hands of
the President was great danger to
democracy, but we are not here
faced merely with a domestic dan
ger and in the very founding
of this country the principle was
set forth that in times of national
danger power must be temporarily
concentrated in the hands of the
Commander in Chief"
Most of the great measures
which have shaped this Nations
position in the world have been the
decision not of Congress but of the
President" he said. The Louisiana
Purchase, the Monroe Doctrine, the
Mexican War, the preserva ton of
the Union-Lincoln acted 10 weeks
before there was vote in Congress
the Far Eastern policy, the Pam
anna Canal, the expulsion of Ma
poleon III from Mexico and the
stabilization of the Caribbean-all
these things were done by PreSi-
dents who relied upon their con-
stitutlonal powers in the conduct of
foreign relations and as Command
er in Chief of the Nations armed
forces This does not mean dictator
ship. Congress is one of our consti-
tutional guards against Dictator
ship. Our press and the independ-
ence and alertness of the American
people is another"

The killing occurred April 20, but
the story goes back to April II when

after writing notes detailing op-

Two weeks later, his widow. fac

These deaths spurred the States

April 90, intending to kill her and
thus prevent his exposure as a fxer.

tried twice to take his own life.
Moriarity confessed he had ac-

and suicide attempts by the detec-
tive on the woman's insistence that
