God Loves All

Dod Loves All
In l. John 4, 10 we read: Herein
is love, not that we loved God. but
that he loved US, and sent his Son
to be the Precipitation for our sins"
God loves US to the extent that he
defends US against danger. and
protects US from all evil. And he
does this out Of fatherly, divine
goodness and mercy, without any
merit or worthiness in US. Further
more the whole Christian church
on earth testifies. that the Father

OUNCES OF PREVENTION KnmP
THE FLU AWAY

The Health Department IN Wash.
ington has initiated safeguards to
check influenza which has already
entered parts of Virginia and spread
to an extent that prompted Governor
Price Of that State to call upon Vir-
ginia health officers to stamp out
the disease.
The United States Public Health
Service Joined in an effort to confine
the flu epidemic to California and
Western States. Although there were
thousands of cases on the West
Coast early in December they were
fortunately OF a mild type. Health
officers recall that 1,452 cases broke
out in single Army Camp in twenty
days when the epidemic was spread
ing In 1918.
An Agricultural Department bull
letin says grapefruit and oranges
ARE valued most resistant to the
flu germ. The Florida Citrus Com
mission specified grapefruit to be
especially rich in vitamin 9, and
1t also supplies the precious miner
ais that help alkalize your system in
natures own way"
Nutrition experts in Government
Department have issued bulletin
which advises that the general well
being Of the body at all ages depends
upon "a balanced diet-one that in
cludes foods that will supply sum.
dient proteins, minerals, vitamins,
and energy to meet the needs of the
body" Several foods are specified in
the bulletin, among which are dairy
products, fruits and vegetables.
These are designated as protective
foods, on account Of certain miner
ais and vitamins which they contain.
Many physicians prescribe diets
consisting almost entirely of citrus
fruits after the flu has struck. That
seems to coincide with the plans Of
nature, supported in current Issue
of a Government document report
ing that record supplies Of grape
fruit and oranges are expected this
winter" The Florida Citrus Commits
sion leads us to believe that two big
glasses of fresh squeezed oranges
and grapefruit day will help keep
the doctor away.

OLD suRRATT HOUSE

The old house at 604 H Street, N.
w., Washington, d. c., where Mrs.
Mary Surratt lived, where the plot
to assassinate President Lincoln was
alleged to have been laid, Is to be
turned into a modern Chinese res
taurant.
There had been little change In the
house for sixty years after the as
sassination and the hanging OF the
conspirators who were alleged to
have been implicated in the murder
of the Civil War President. Finally,
in 1925, the building was converted
from a residence into commercial
property and rented to Chinese mer-
chants, who have occupied 1t for the
past several years.

feet wide and built in the corner Of
an alley, is four stories high, with q

PEANUT OIL As FOOD

peanut oil Is being used increas-
ingly as food" says Technology on
the Farm, published by the U. s. De-
partment of Agriculture. Its wider
use In oleomargine and shortcomings
followed the discovery Of its super
Tor resistance to rancidity. Between
1922 and 1888. domestic production
OF the oil ranged from s million to
25 million pounds, and increased to
IT million pounds in 1888. The Dos
sibilities of further use as shorten
ing, the adaptability of the peanut
plant to certain sections Of the South,
and the wider application Of the re-

RACE TRACK LICENSE FEES

Maryland racing paid into the pub
lie treasury last year nearly $780,

net-revenue tax.
Practically all Of this sum came
from the four big tracks and almost
all of 1T went into the state treasury.
The county fairs half-mile tracks
contributed under $4,000 and most
of that went via the Racing Commits

For this purpose, the five halfmile
tracks Timonium, Bel Air, Hagers-
town and Cumberland-pay / per

SALES OF CHEVROLET CARS

Chevrolet sales of new passenger
and commercial cars for the calendar
year of 1910 passed the 100000
mark Dec. 20, it was announced at
Detroit, by William e. Holler, gen.
eral sales manager. This is the third
time in the history Of the division
that sales in any calendar year have
exceeded 100000, he said.
Only in 1929 and 1886 did Chevro-
let dealers retail in excess OF one
million cars and trucks, and 1910,
according to his estimates, will sur
pass 1929, Mr.. Holler said.
In 1889, he said, dealers retailed
791,8S6 new cars and trucks, while
each month of 1910 ran we'll ahead
of the comparable month last year,
leading to the miillion-plus total for
the year.
"This sales record is due to two
factors" MIR. Holler added. First
was the success of our 1910 model,
of which we produced and sold
1000, 900 during the final quarter
of 1889 and the first eight months OF
1910. Second, Is the outstanding

models, introduced In September

CHRISTIAN COLLEGES IN CHINA
CARRY ON

Almost everyone knows, vaguely,
that there are several Protestant,
educational institutions In China.
the extent of their work and the sue
cess that crowns the efforts of the
thirteen Christian Colleges in that
country are not SO generally under
stood. Though the undeclared war
between China and Japan is now in
its fourth year, the 1940-41 enroll
ment of these thirteen institutions
reached an alltime high Of 1874
students, 20 per cent higher than
the highest peacetime year of 1886
1887.
To continue this work, the Asso-
ciated Boards for Christian Colleges
in China launched a drive, early in
November, to raise $250,000 in the
United States. The money is neces-
sary if these thirteen institutions are
to carry on properly.
The annual report Of the Associat.
ed Boards, prepared before the cur
rent academic year got underway
but only recently released, showed
that the work is not confined to
teaching alone, but includes many
relief activities, and extensive pro-
grams of reconstruction and rehab-
ilitation have been put into opera
ton.
Driven from all but two Of the
original sites of the thirteen colleges
the present educational work OF
eleven Of the schools Is carried out
under adverse conditions at temper
airy sites. The report indicated, how
ever, that the colleges are progress
ing with less difficulty than during
the first two years of the war, all
though TREY will not be able to oper-
ate with full effectiveness until 1t il
ended.
The evacuated campuses became
centers of relief work, and while all
academic work moved to temporary
sites, the old buildings were used
for medical purposes and as centers
for extensive service programs for
the suffering people of China.

AUDITING AND BUDGET1NG
YOUR HEALTH ACCOUNT

Advising each individual to have q
periodical health audit, DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director Of the State Depart
ment Of Health said:
"While the physical fitness Of the
men called out in the present draft,
shows great improvement over that
Of many of the men examined in the
last draft, the high percentage Of
reflections among the present draft
ees, is very significant and shows
strfkingly, the need of careful,
physical check-up, at regular inter-
walls, for each Individual.
Comparing ones physical re-
sources to a bank account, DR.. Riley
said: "If you have not had a physi-
cal audit made recently, treat your
self to one. Go to your doctor and
your dentist and find out where you
stand physically.
I'VE all start out In life," he con-
tinued, with a certain amount Of
biological capital. We can conserve
our resources and build up favor
able health account by hygienic liv-
I ing. But the account has to have
close watching and 1t must be bal
anced from time to time. Otherwise,
through the wear and tear OF daily
| life and even through minor Illness
es we are likely to accumulate ply
steal liabilities that leaves us with
little OF the necessary reserve.
"This Is especially true Of grown
Iups. The health accounts Of young
children and of growing boys and
girls are checked up, regularly thru
the child health conferences and
through the protective health SER
vices in the schools. But the rejec-
lions among the draftees show the
Importance of balancing the health
account for all grown-ups, those we
speak Of as the younger generation
as well as for those who are getting
on in years.
Fortunately, SO far as the draft
ees are concerned, many of the dis
abilities for which they have been
rejected, are capable of correction
under careful direction. Physical
standards are higher than they were
formerly and the rank and file Of our
young people measure up to them.
"There is great need for balancing
the health accounts Of the older peo-
ple. A large part Of the chronic and
disabling illnesses and over half Of
the deaths that occur each year are
due to conditions that have slow, al.
most imperceptible beginnings, and
THAT do not make much Roadway un'
til middle of life or later. Illnesses
from heart disease--which now out
ranks all other disabilities as cause
of death in the general population
disese of the kidneys. cancer, cere
bral hemorrhage, diabetes and d,
seases of the arteries are in this
class.
"Many of the deaths from these
Icauess could be checked, much SUI.

able lives could be prolonged for use

Iment and the necessary conservation

How to Have Fun!

0TF YOU don't drink, you don't
miss thing; if you do drink,
you may miss everything"
This concept for youth was ex-
pressed in Chicago by Miss Martha
S. Cooper, general secretary, at a
Youths Temperance Council rally,
sponsored by National w. c. T. u,
which drew young leaders from 48
states.
"The movies are the biggest sin
gle influence affecting the habits Of
YOUTH" Miss Cooper declared, add
ing that ''too many young folk today
are Charlie McCarthys at quoting
the social customs they see on the
screen"
Chief among these customs, she
said, is one that portrays drinking
Of beer, wine and whisky as smart
and stylish, "When drinking is actu-
ally backward influence, reverses
social progress, and is physical
and mental handicap.
young people today are confront
ed on all sides with the subject of
drinking, not only in public life but
In their own homes. Some parents
think their children should be famil-
lar with alcohol and in some cases
teach them how to use it. Even
when choosing their friends they are
often confronted with a decision on
the use of alcohol. Instead of vast
ing their time learning how to drink,
youth should learn the joys of con-
structive recreation, the fun of clean
living.
youth can then 60 forth, clear
eyed, mentally and physically fit to
meet the exigencies of life in an up
side down world
The same experimental nature Of
youth which has, in some cases, led
to excuses in narcotics and sex has
fortunately led in other cases to q
revolt against alcoholic surround
ings, she pointed out.
youth wants a place to congre-
gate and have good time. Repeal
took youth from the corner drug
store to the tavern. However, thou
sands are revolving from the tavern
influences.
Parents should remember that
alcohol plus sex equals trouble.
Young people should remember
that q drink never made glamour
