Yet at every meal of which we partake, a miracle is being performed which is so mysterious that man has never been able to fully un-1 derstand or to explain it. j You eat a piece of bread, a vege-1 table, a salad, you flrink a glass of milk, and wh?.t happens?

They take on all the' characteristics of your personality.; Soon they are guiding a pencil, tilling j a field, passing down decisions from a , ' judicial bench, buying or selling, mak-' ' ing laws in congress. Is not that a I miracle ? i I You may say: “What does it matter I ; what I eat—so long as it satisfies my ; hunger anl does not cause indiges tion?” What does it matter? Your efficiency, your mental alert ness, your health, and your future welfare are governed by the quality of the food you eat. blowing that, can you afford to take into your body food that will give you a poor quality of blood,, a socond class brain, sec ond class r^rve tissue, and make you a secomLclass individual? A stale vegetable, an overripe piece lof fruit, a wilted salad have lost their values as a renewing, refreshing, life- giving force. In t^ing to save fifty cents or a dollar a day by eating in ferior food, you may be spending ten dollars in vitality, which in tom may Won’t you permit space in The Chronicle to point out the difference between the J.

A test came up recently when they were asked to participate in the campaign to raise funds for the Pres byterian coUe’ge debt. The reply of Mr. Geo. H. Bushnell, vice-president of the J. C. Penney Company, Inc., contains the following: “Your letter of May 22nd has been received in regard to a contribution to the Presbyterian college fund, and we have also been in communication with our local manager regarding this same campaign. “For your information, it is the pol- i icy of our organization to take part in matters of this kind that are for the betterment of the conyaunity in! which we operate a store, and we feel' Father’s Day—Remember “Dad” Next Sunday finT our manager willing to do what he can to help this drive along. “There is just one thought that we would like bring to your attention and that is that our Clinton store has, not been in operation for any great j length of time, and for this reason we ' hardly feel that we should be expect- i ed to give as much as the older ani; more established concerns.

C. wan/ AMERICAN HOMES business.- And all because you did not have the necessary mental grip neces sary* to concentration and courage and initiative.' It may truly be said that as a man eats—so is he. The brain gets a great deal of cred it that should be given to good health. For the roots cf our spirits run clear through our material bodies and into food stuffs and into the soil—wherein lies the source of all power. We are of the earth, earthly. We come from na ture; we return to nature. All life feeds on life, but that life must be at the highest peak of excellence if good health an<jl mental vigor are to be wrested from it. The man who accomplishes things in this world is the man who is able to make quick and vital decisions. Such decision is the child of strong vitality. The big thing in life is to keep one’s self up to the highest point of efficiency at any cost. Whatever reduces the fire in the brain, lessens the ambition and energy, weakens the will power and produces a disinclini- tibn to work should he avoided as one would avoid a plague. We have made splendid stride^ in the past ten years in educating peo ple to know what is good for them and what is not. And yet, I am looking forward to the time when the food we eat will be guarded sacredly and scientifically by the government, be cause locked up in it is the secret of life an;i the future welfare of hum n / T is not given to us all to share in valor ... to defend our coun try in time of war ... or to hew a new country from the wilderness as did the Colonial soldiers of the Revolution. But one thing every one of us can do. We can safeguard our homes ... we can help in the devd! 'nient of the citizens of tomorrow . . . we can so surround our far.illics as to assure environment that will form true American character. And we, as merchants, supplying so much that becomes a part of that environment, can do no less than offer Furniture of Integrity. To such a policy we pledge ourselves.
