PURITY IN POLITICS URGED UPON MEMBERS OF CHS

v ST. LOUIS, Mo., Dec. 11. Church .members are urged to take their political responsibilities seriously, In the report of the Commission on the Church and Social Service presented to the Federal Council of Chiffches of Christ In quadrennial convention here today. "Decency and purity In politics," says the report, "and the selection of intelligent, honest and courageous men and women to assume the responsibilities of political office are clearly matters which, are not only necessary to the continuance or democracy but essentially religious.- V .,- Train for. Voluntary Service" "In every center of population there should be some organized method of training church members for voluntary service to the community. This can be accomplished by federated churches In conjunction with local social workers and educational Institutions. It Is possible to get such training in rural communities through institutes, conducted i, jointly by the churches and the state forces of education." i The report took up the. subjects of unemployment, housing, recreation, commercialized . vice, prison reform, and the status of women and said: . Church Should Organize , "When a period of unemployment

due to Industrial depression strikes a community It is important for the church to organize, to meet the emergency In their congregation and to

participate In comunity-wide efforts to relieve the- unemployed. "But more important than helping the unemployed is the study at all times of the. reasons for unemployment and of methods for itc avoidance. We should urge upon employers thai they seek to devise methods by which their establishments may run the year round. The shortening of the long-hour work day and the abolition of seven day work will tend strongly to th relief of unemployed and should be pressed vigorously throughout the land. Houtflng it Rural Problem "It often is thought that housing is exclusively a problem of congested

areas of cities, and not of the country, but this is only partly true. Wheresver there is poverty, there is sure to be a poor home environment. Bad housing, particularly insanitary conditions, is partly a matter of low ideals, in such homes the church may have a large educational influence. However, the primary matter is to secure proper legislation governing the construction af houses and tenements, and to provide for thorough and constant inspection. "Tho attitude of the church to recreation has been on the whole critical and negative; it should now become sympathetic positive and ag

gressive. Closely connected with the subject of recreation is that of vice. Nothing lies more clearly within the proper field of churches than the dimunition of personal immorality and the cultivation of personal purity. Source of Social Evil -"The social evil is related to bad housing, unfortunate-home surround-

Mngs, inadequate and unprotected pub

lic recreation, and particularly to low wages.. Employers must be caused to face this danger of low wages for girls in all its terrible bearings, i "We' urge the importance of training our boys to be 'good husbands and fathers as carefully as girls are train, ed for wifehood and motherhood. We urge that the churches lend their aid to the; women; that they use their uti most endeavors to protect the home and to safeguard those women particularly those girls who go out from it into industry." The report of the commission urges tho church to support the struggle of workers for a shorter labor day and a living wage. - , - -

ooie corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn can shortly be lifted right out with the fingers if you will apply directly upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. It is claimed that at small cost one can get a quarter of an ounce of freezone at any drug store, which is sufficient to rid one's feet of every corn or callus without pain or soreness or the danger of infection. This new drug is an ether compound, and while sticky, dries the moment it is applied and does not inflame, or even irritate the surrounding tissue. This announcement will;; interest many women here, for it is said that the present high-heeled footwear is putting corns on practically every woman's feet, v -
