Mack, of South Carolina:

THE MIRACLE OF FOOD
It is often said that the age of mira-!
cles is past. 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? In a few;
hours they become a man. They begin
to think and act. 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. C. Penney- Company,
Inc., and some other chain store or
ganizations? It is the pride of the J.
C. Penney Company that each of their
stores takes an interest in iWal af
fairs. 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

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. As our
store in your city continues to grow,
you will find our manager ready to
take a greater part in future drives
of this kind.
“In any event, we have written Mr.
A. J. Swansen, our local manager, to
day and no doubt in the next few days
you will hear direct from him.
“Trust your drive for funds will be
successful in every way.”

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

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.
