One often hears the expressoin, "My child caught a severe cold which developed into diphtheria," when the truth was that the cold had simply left the little one particularly suscep tible to the wandering diphthera germ. If your child has a cold when diphtheria is prevalent " you should take him out of school and keep him off the street until fully recovered, as there is a hundred times more dan ger of his taking d?5>hther?a when he has a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough Remedy j is given it <quickly cures, the cdfei and lessens the dan ger ot diphtheria or any other germ disease bein:? contracted. Save PV?oisture for Crops. ??loisture for plant growth is in- ? dispensable regardless of thc fertili- j ty of the soi!. Water is therefore a necessity for plant growth. The plants contain a large per cent of water. We are told that corn plants at a certain | stage of development when the plants j arc nearly grown contain about nine-1 tenths water. The turnip contains j from 82 to 02 per cent water. The transpiration of moisture j through the cells of niants amounts t I to much. Laws and Gilbert found in the moist climate that wheat, barley, beans and peas exhaled during live months about 200 times their weight of dry matter, lt was determined by King of Wisconsin station by meas uring the water given oil" by leaf evaporation as well as the soil sup-, ported by plants, that for each pound of dry matter produced in root, stem, leaf and seed, it required for corn, olO pounds of water; barley,401 and oats, ?Ol pounds. If ii requires such a volume of water io produce crops how impor tant to conserve and utilize it! This may be done in several ways, the most important of which Ls timely und ample cultivation. lt i? well known that the larger the per cont of humus within rea sonable limits the greater the ca pacity of the soil for retaining the moisture; conversely, the less humus the sooner crops suifer for moisture. When soil becomes warm and the humus supply reduced under poor methods of management the impor tance of cultivation at the right time and in the proper manner is impera tive. The fact that this is not gener ally done accounts in a large degree for the serious damage to crops du ring a short drought.-Farm and Manch. How is Your Complexion? A woman should grow more beau tiful as she grows older and she will ivith ?lue regard to baths, diet and ex ercise, and by keeping her liver and bowels in good working order. If you |^ ire haggard and yellow, your eves losing their lustre and whites becom ing yellowish, your flesh flabby, it may be due to indigestion or to a sluggish liver. Chamberlain's Tablets correct these disorders. enz, are to bc awarded as prizes by he given to Victory note salesmen rauk kan. In the ))ictiire shown ahove, taken publicity (left), and Lewis Ii.

BURGE, MISSIONARY, SAYS CHURCH MUST KEEP PACE WITH WORLD, WHICH IS DOIN-S THINGS DIFFERENTLY NOW, OR FALL HOPELESSLY BEHIND. Appeals to Church to Make Suprema Effort and Sacrifice at This Time to Christianize World and Present Arms Plans of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, indicate that their field of work will greatly broaden, in the next few months and wil\ include Europe and Russia. -"The - .il^nodist Church has been plodding along for ? many years and has made a record ! that every .Methodist is justly proud ! of," said R. T. Burge, of the Siberian Commission of the American Red ?ross, in a letter from Vladivostock that has just been received at head- j quarters in Nashville. "It is time, however, for the Mein.-; odist Church to do something sensa-1 tional and unusual. All the world is doing things differently now and thet organization that cannot keep puce must fall behind. We should go into the conni ries of Europe and Russia, he pioneers in a work that might mean more to prevent future wars than the ; League of Nations. Christianize and ! educate the peoples of the world and there will be no more wars. But if we have harmony 'by threats and fear, and by constant show of force, I see no reason why it might not be another , question of 'a scrap of paper.' "But it would be madness to at- ; tempt any work in Siberia or Russia at this time. No complete or intelli gent investigations can be made until \ order is restored, and from what I j have seen it will be months before i 'hat task is accomplished. The cam-1 paign for thirty-five million dollars to' be conducted May IS to 25 will ga j ii long way toward solving a big prob? lem. j. "Keep in minrt always that the cora- j pl ex ion of t lie world has entirely! changed and that not only must there j lie complete reorganization in eco- j nomio. political and social conditions, lint most particularly in religious coJ aitlonu."
