W. j. SWAIN APPEALS TO WAR
WORKERS NOT TO SMOKE
DURING WORK HOURS
toOntinusd from FIRST Page,

out war materials they would will
ingIy change their habits. A care
lessly dropped match or cigarette
could destroy these plants just as
effectively as a fire deliberately set
by our enemies. All of us who
smoke are likely to forget that the
match that lights our cigar, ciga-
rette or pipe can just as easily
start a fire that will destroy the
most completely fire-proof building
in the world.
workers may think that the
concrete and steel building in
which they work and the steel ma
chinery which they use to turn
out airplanes, tanks and guns, can
not burn, and they are right. But
there is always plenty of infam-
mable material around that could
start a fire that would wreck such
a plant. Steel does not burn, but
look what a fire did to the Nor
mandie.
"If we all could remember that
matches and smoking have caused
more fires in the past ten years
than any other single known cause
of fires, we would be more careful
with them. If workers in war in
dustries will only keep this in
mind, l am sure they will restrict
their smoking to their lunch or rest
periods and smoke only in places
around the plant where it is per-
rnitted. They not only will be help
ing to preserve their plant for the
war EFFORT but they also will be
preserving their own jobs as well,
because a building wrecked by fire
needs no employees"

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCH

Christian Science Church Ser
vice Report for Sunday, Sept! 20,
1912. Subject: MATTER.
Golden Text: II Corinthians GIG.
What agreement hath the temple of
God with idols?
A Bible Citation from the Les
son-Sermon: Psalms 1882 8. Bless
the Lord, o my soul, and forget
not all his benefits: 3. Who for
giveth all thine iniquities; who
healeth all thy diseases.
Correlative from the Textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy: The understanding that the
Ego is Mind, and that there is but
one Mind or intelligence, begins at
once to destroy the errors of NOR
tai sense and to supply the truth
of immortal sense. This under
standing makes the body harmo-
nious; it makes the nerves, bones,
brain, ETC., servants, instead of
masters. If man is governed by
the law of divine Mind. his body is
in submission to everlasting Life
and Truth and Love. -. Give up
your material belief of mind in
matter, and have but one Mind,
even God; for this Mind forms its
own likeness.

toms little niece, Linda Ann, Fri
day morning. She came with her
mother and grandmother. We all
sang for them. Then Carolyn, Ger
maine, and Mary Lou each sang
solo; Joseph and James played
their harmonicas. We wish she
could have stayed with us.
We were surprised to receive
cards from Miss Dellinger. She
wrote us each a message. Monday,
for writing, we answered them.
Bathing Friday was changed into
a. boat ride, which we surely appre-
ciated. 1t is the only boat-ride this
season for many of US. To Mr..

we are grateful for the ride. Sun
day we were in the water, and
again Monday. If the moderate
weather continues along with the
