In “farewell tour” the tour part of it can be relied on implicitly. Some persons are born to fame and others win charleston contests. A hard-headed business man should naturally make business sound. The dove of peace In Europe seems to be looking for a little place to roost It would please housewives more if the early bird were to catch the first ants. Hereafter when anybody predicts a severe winter, we shall just leave the screens in. Vision by radio is promised. Disturbing news to those who live in glass houses. The pies that mother used to make required great skill, a hot oven and a boy appetite. Some of those dividends “up the sleeve” have away of slipping “out at the elbow.” Another college has lost its athletic coach, but as long as the faculty stays there’s some hope. The suggested return of the hoopskirt brings us to a subject that is as broad as it is long. The people who trust to luck may possibly get there, but they generally have to walk home. If King Alfonso flies by airplane t* Argentina he can hardly escape an American lecture tour. By and by, the street-crossing pedestrian may not be able to negotiate an accident Insurance policy. However, it is to be hoped that galluses for girls does not mean that the skirts will be pulled up any higher. That radio speed contest should determine the minimum time that a receiver can keep on any one station. Chinese reds are said to have insulted the American flag but so far the navy has demanded no salute. The original schoolgirl complexion was almost wholly a matter of the school being four miles away on foot. Paris has a woman 7 feet, 6 Inches tall and weighing 300 pounds. That probably won't come over here as a style. Prophecies of the end of the world all fall; so it’s just as well to continue to buy goods on the long installment plan. The value of poultry products in the United States has been placed at $1,250,000 or what amounts to a neat little nest egg. A mail carrier for 22 years never missed a day and has been added to the list of those who have delivered for their country. In 1925 this country consumed 75,000,000 cigarettes, of which about 75,000,000 were carelessly thrown away while still burning. The Department of Agriculture has discovered that there are more cows In Vermont than there are people; so Vermont must get up early in the morning. Having fallen four stories and escaped with only a minor injury, a glazier observed: “I was downright lucky.” Well, he was headed in that genera: direction. Among the achievements of modern times is a substitute for buttermilk that compares with the real stuff about as beach sand compares with Dpen-kettle sugar. It is said that there are 51,000 deportable aliens in American jails or other public institutions, which ought to influence some closer scrutiny of Importable aliens. It does seem as though those American opera singers who have been getting so much American publicity ought to marry American husbands, at least for the first time. Considering the amount of work he has done, Edison at seventy-nine says be is really one hundred and twenty; and many who have accomplished less feel that way at seven in the morning. Among the unidentified geniuses let us not overlook the one who thought np names of 921 chocolate nut bars now on the market. A*ter the Florida trip: "Here’s a snapshot of me holding a six-foot tarpon caught off Sarasota. The one on die right is the fish.” It was coming to the proprietor of a New York shoe shining parlor who is found to be the owner of a skpscraper. He began at the foot. It takes ail kinds of people to make a well-rounded universe. Including those who imagine one can learn bridge from a book. Mother has a pietty hard time preserving her schoolgirl complexion these days if she keeps it where her girl in school can get It. Anent another war to be staged In Europi-, somebody once remarked: “It If best to get off with the old before getting on with the new.”

IH I till ill'll I ii-il-t-il I I I I IHOW TO KEEP WELL ♦ DR. FREDERICK R. GREEN Editor of "HEALTH’’ H-l 11 I I II I II■I d' i-I 1-l -F (©, 1924. Western Newspaper Union.) THEN AND NOW 'T'HOSE of us who write about betA ter health and less disease always have to write with one eye on the reader and one OP the editor. For we know that unless what we write gets past the editor it will never get to the reader. So it Is always not only very desirable but also absolutely necessary to know just what the editor thinks about all this “health stuff.” Every once in a while, in every profession, whether it’s doctors or lawyers or ministers or editors, somebody forgets all about professional prejudices and habits and talks right out In meeting. And it's always not only refreshing but also enlightening, for then you know you’re hearing the facts just as they appear to a man who knows what he is talking about So when the editor of the Worcester Gazette frees his mind, you know you are getting It straight. Here is what he says: “Once upon a time and not so long ago: “Everybody drank from the same glass in a railway coach. “A roller towel In the hotel washroom accommodated all comers. “Thousands of people died every year from typhoid fever. “The health officer's chief job was to Inspect alleys and back yards for garbage and dead animals and to order chloride of calcium scattered about. “The state board of health existed principally for the purpose of examining and licensing physicians. “There were flies in every dining room. “Nobody took a bath until Saturday night. Lots of people thought that wearing asafetlda would prevent diphtheria and smallpox. “Red flannel underwear was all the rage. “Consumption was an Incurable disease and folks who had It were advised to drink a great deal of whisky or go West, or do both.” Now there isn’t a single medical term in this editorial. It’s simply the everyday things the editor has seen and remembered that are different now from what they were then and where any sensible' person can see there has been a change for the better. What’s the reason? Largely, as Healthy Home suggests, because newspapers are giving increasing space today to information about health and , disease, how to keep one and avoid the other. FEWER DRUG ADDICTS TN THE fifteen years since the socalled Harrison law was passed by congress, many sensational state- I ments have appeared from time to time regarding the number of persons in the country who were regular and : habitual users of the so-called narcotic drugs. It has been claimed that there were from one to ten million persons who were victims of these drug habits and that the number was increasing. Equally sensational stories of the capture of immense quantities of these drugs, of the methods by which they were sold and the enormous amounts made by these “dope j peddlers” have added to the popular idea that we were in danger of be- I coming a nation of “drug fiends.” Yet i when you ask any individual how many persons he knows who use any : of these drugs you generally find that his impressions are gained largely from hearsay. There is and has been for many years, a drug addict problem, but it I is not today and never has been as ' great or as widespread as has been i generally believed. In contrast to ! the many sweeping statements made ) on this subject, let us set a carefully ■ prepared report of an official body of experts. The conference of state and pro- : vincial health authorities of North America is a yearly gathering made up of one representative, generally the executive secretary, from each of the state health boards and departments. At their last meeting, a committee on drug addiction reported j that the use of opium and cocaine was : declining. The federal and state laws i restricting their sale were being better enforced and as a result the number of drug users was being decreased. | Drug addiction, said the committee, : was still serious but not as bad as had been represented. The most careful survey made under the United States public health service, showed that there were about 110,000 persons in this country who habitually used opium, morphine, or cocaine, or some form of cocaine. Heroin, the most dangerous of all the opium preparations, has been practically wiped out ! and its manufacture stopped. So at the worst, less than one-tenth of one per cent of the people in this country are narcotic drug users. This is one out of a thousand. Physicians do not prescribe as much as formerly. They do not order opium as freely. People do not take as much medicine and dangerous medicines are not as easy to get as they were twenty years ago. - Travel Far and Fast Salmon travel long distances In short periods, scientists say. Identified by means of tags placed in their ( fins, they are often found from 800 to 1,200 miles from their starting point in less than a month.

IMPROVED UNIFORM WTWUTIOMAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. p. B. FITZWATER. D.D.. Dean of tlie Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (©. 1926. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for May 2 GOD’S COVENANT W>TH NOAH LESSON TEXT—Genesis 8:20; 9:27. GOLDEN TEXT—I do set my bow In the cloud, and it shall be fore token of a covenant between mo and the earth.—Gen. 9:13. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Promise of the Rainbow. JUNIOR TOPlC—God’s Promise to Noah. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Story of Noah. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—God's Dealing With Noah. In order to grasp the meaning of God's covenant with Noah, the whole story of the flood should be clearly in the mind of the teacher and the pupil. I. The Cause of the Flood (6:1-8). It was apostasy from God. The two types of men we saw in Caln and Abel (the one of proud self-will, the other of humble faith), developed on diverging lines, but ns they multiplied they came into contact and Intermarried. Apostasy always follows intermarriages between the godly and the ungodly. 11. The Ark the Way of Salvation (6:14-7:24). Although all flesh had corrupted Its way before God, in His mercy provision was made for such as would avail themselves of it. Christ Is the ark into wldch all who enter are eternally saved. As all outside of the ark perished, so all outside the redemption of Christ shall perish (Mark 16:16; II Thess. 1 :R, 9; John 3:18, 19, 36; I Pet. 3:18-22). Observe in connection with this Judgment and provision of salvation: 1. The long-suffering God —He waited 120 years. The long-suffering of God is the only answer to why God does not intervene in the cruel wars, persecutions and oppressions of the earth. 2. Noah, a preacher of righteousness (II Pet. 2:5). God not only waited long, but through Noah sounded forth intelligent warnings. All who are lost will know that not only Is God unwilling that they should perish (II Pet. 3:9), but that they have perished against His warnings. 3. God will not withhold His anger forever. At the appointed time the flood came and everything perished outside of the ark, both man and beast. 111. Beginning Life Upon a New World (Gen. 8:20). This was a most solemn hour for Noah. With the fresh consciousness of God’s hatred and Judgment of sin. Noah faced the responsibility of giving shape to the life which was beginning upon the cleans'l earth. He was to replenish the earth. Happily Noah began right, for he began with the act of worship; he built tin altar unto the Lord. This not only ex- ■ pressed his gratitude to God for His : mercies, but Noah’s determination to I take possession of the cleansed earth j for Go 1. IV. The Covenant With Noah (S:21; 9:27). God was well pleased with Noah's act of devotion. Because of tills He entered into a covenant with him embracing the following elements; 1. Assurance of the perpetuity of the race (8:21. cf. 9:8-17). The bow was set in the cloud as a ! token or guarantee of this. 2. The security of the order of na- | ture (8:22). We know of the succession of the ! seasons and the ongoing of the sysl tern of nature only because of the guarantee of Him who controls them all. 3. Establishing the privileges and responsibilities of Noah and his descendants in their relation to the earth (9:1-4). (1) The earth to be replenished ' (v. 1). (2) Dominion restored. The domln- : ion which was lost through the fall of man was now restored, but on the ground of fear. This explains why animals are afraid of man. (3) Animal food given. Heretofore man subsisted on a vegetable diet (Gen. 1 :29). 4. Human government established (9:4-6). The sword of Justice was placed in man’s hands and man was to be ruled by man. This sword has never been removed (Rom. 13:1-7). 5. The destinies and interrelations of the three great branches of the race fixed (9:18-27). (1) Cursed be Canaan (v. 25). The descendants of Ham were reduced to the lowest condition of servitude. This was partly fulfilled in the time of Joshua in their being partly exterminated and partly reduced to the lowest f'»rm of servitude, and also in the time of Solomon (Josh. 9:23; I Kings 9:20, 21), and it is still in the process of fulfillment in that for the most part Canaan’s descendants are the world’s servants. (2) Blessed shall be Shein (v. 26). This was fulfilled in making the Jewish race the repository of religious truth and ultimately in Christ the promised seed. (3) Enlargement of Japheth (v. 27). This was fulfilled in making him the progenitor of peoples and multitudes (10:5); also in the civilization which lias been brought to the world through him. Christ and the Resurrection Let the science of historical investigation be rigorously applied to the resurrection of Jesus. Christianity will not fear the proof. For it has pleased God that this crowning seal put to His Son’s life should be sustained and guarded by an amount of proof such as no other fact in ancient history can boast; so that no honest searcher for truth might be left in doubt that Jesus of Nazareth has been declared to be the Son. of God with power. —J. Oswald Dykes.

TWO HOMES MADE HAPPY By Women Who Used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound *1 have taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and I think it Is

the most wonderful medicine I ever tried,” is the statement made by Mrs. Goldie Shoup of May View, Illinois. She declares that after taking the Compound she is in better health than before. Mrs. J. Storms of 29 Lane Street, Paterson, N. J., writes:

11^^ ■ Hr

“I can not speak too highly of your medicine and I recommend It to all my friends." These statements were taken from two enthusiastic letters which tell of the help that has been received from using the Vegetable Compound. Both Mrs. Shoup and Mrs. Storms were in a run-down condition which caused them much unhappiness. When women are suffering from lack of strength and from weakness, their own life and that of their family is affected. When they feel well and strong and are able to do their housework easily, happy homes are the result. Thousands of testimonial letters have been received from women in different walks of life, stating that the Compound has helped them. Food! Felt Like Vinegar In Stomach Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. A.

.. I GTe Kitchen Cabinet ((c). 1926, Western Newspaper Union.) Economy and variety may perfectly well go together—the better the cook, the greater the economy. Economy means getting full value for the expenditure, whether It la money or time. EGG DISHES As eggs are rich In protein and make a desirable substitute for meat

they should be used freely when rea sona b1 e in price. As they are, when fresh, without waste, they are not an expensive food. Eggs With

Ham. —Mince one and one-half cupfuls of cold boiled ham and add to two cupfuls of white sauce. Pour Into a greased baking dish and break six । eggs over it. Dust with paprika and bake until the whites are set. Serve i as a luncheon dish. Asparagus Omelet. —Melt two tabje- ! spoonfuls of butter and add two of i flour, add gradually one cupful of milk and cook until smooth, seasoning with salt and pepper. Separate the yolks and whites of six eggs, add to the beaten yolks one-fourth of a cupful of the white sauce. Beat the whites until stiff nnd then fold into the mixture. Cook In an omelet pan well greased; finish browning in the oven. Turn out on a platter and garnish with asparagus tips and the re- , maining white sauce. Sweet Peppers and Eggs.—Chop two sweet green peppers after removing the white fiber ami seeds. Cook slowly in two tablespoonfuls of butter and add one tablespoonful of tomato catsup. Beat six eggs, add two tablespoonfuls of rich cream, two tableapoonfuls of water, and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Scramble the egg mixture In butter and serve on triangles of hot toast. Cheese Souffle.— Melt two table- > spoonfuls of butter, stir In two tablespoonfuls of flour, then add two-thirds ! of a cupful of water, one-third of a cupful of milk; cook until thick. Add seasonings, two egg yolks beaten, and one cupful of grated cheese. When cool fold in two well-beaten whites and bake In a well-greased baking dish. Stuffed Eggs.—Cut four hard-cooked eggs into halves lengthwise. Remove the yolks, mash and mix with mayonnaise, chopped parsley, salt and paprika, Add a little <>nlon Juice if liked. Refill the whites and fasten with a toothpick. Food for Convalescents. There will never come a time when there is not urgent need of Intelligent I

care of fi»o<l for the convalescent, even w h e n trained nurses and dietitians are plentiful, for the exjtense must be con side red in most homes.

The physician's orders should always be followed an<l no new food should be Introduced without first inquiring as to the wisdom of the change. The patient's appetite is not always a safe guide ami many have lost their lives by being given food they craved. Ignorance is never bliss when feeding ' the invalid. Those recovering from a fever have an abnormal appetite, and great tact and care must be used in feeding them. The liquid diet, which is given for the first food in convalescence, may be so varied that it need not be monotonous. When beginning a solid diet, care I should be taken to have the change very gradual. Chicken Panada. —Remove the skin j and every particle of fat from the breast of a chicken. If the fowl is large, one-half of the breast will be sufficient. Place in a saucepan with enough water to cover and simmer slowly for two hours, or until the meat is very tender. Take it from the broth and cut it into small pieces, then press through a sieve, using a large spoon. Add the broth to the chicken, season with a bit of salt. Ad'l four tablespoonfuls of cream and bring to the boiling point. Serve in a pretty bowl with bits of crisp toast cut into fancy shapes. Honey Sandwiches.—Boil one cupful of sugar, one-fourth cupful each of water and orange juice, with two thin , shavings of orange rind, until the sirup spins a thread. Add one-half cupful of candied orange peel chopped and one-half teaspoonful of vanilla. ■ Heat to the boiling point, cool and I spread on thin slices of white, nut or raisin bread: cut into fancy shapes. Nice for children’s parties. Eggs in Spinach.—Line ramekins with chopped, cooked spinach, leaving a cavity in each. Break an egg into this, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and add a teaspoonful of butter for each. Set into a pan of hot water and bake in a moderate oven until the eggs are set. Serve with catsup. For a course dinner a cocktail is often served as a stimulant; on this account oysters, clams and various appetizing condiments are used, the object being to stimulate, not cloy the appetite. Fruit cocktails are enjoyed by most people as they are appetizing without being too filling. Tywwexc. Speaking of Coins Most Americans look upon the sliver dollar as the most cumbersome coin ever minted. But it is put completely in the shade by some of the old Sw^xlish pieces. In the museum at Falun, in Sweden, there Is a copper coin dated 1644 which measures 25 Inches by 13 and weighs over forty pounds. Great Consumers The American people consume more coal, coffee, chewing gum and propaganda than any other. —Duluth Herald
