Famished Cattle Find Water and Grass Western cattle branded with the letters of the Emergency Relief administration, after they had been bought by the government from farmers whose farms nre now nlmost waterless, are driven to an Island In the middle of the Savannah river, near Augusta, Ga., where there are 300 acres of pastureland. It must feel great to them to get back to water and real green grass again.

CONVENTION PRESCRIBES DKAR Mrs. Post : Is It proper to give a pharmacist the title of "Doctor" or not? I am ahout to have wedding announcements engraved and am wavering between "Mister" and "Doctor" because I don't know. Answer: This Is really a question of personal opinion, but best taste usu ally confines such use of the title Dr. to a D. D. or an M. D. or a D. D. S. My dear Mrs. Post: The degression has not sufficiently lifted from our family und I must have n small house wedding because of the expenses. Please tell me how to plan un Infor mal marriage service and still not have things any old way? Answer: You can't have an Informal marriage service, because It Is a church ceremony. The words ceremonial and formal mean the snme thing. You can of course have a simple wedding. Ar range n background of flowers or tree branches, or still more simply, stand In front of drawn curtains. The serv ice Is of course the mime for every marriage: the clergyman enters ttrst, the groom and best man follow him, your maid of honor then enters alone, and you with your father follow her. After the ceremony you and your hus band turn and face the guests who one by one offer you their good wishes. Serve wedding cake and a fruit punch. If this seems to you not enough, ndd sandwiches and either tea or coffee or bouillon. This Is really plenty. Dear Mrs. Post: Very often 1 have it family In to dinner, of which one | member la left-handed. My husband ! suggested that next time they are ex- I pected I set one place at table with the knives and spoons on the left side of the plate and the forks on the right. Is this ever done? Answer: Not that I know of. Left handed people must naturally accus tom themselves to conventional table setting. So much so tlmt It Is ques tionable whether upsetting the regu larity of your table would even add to tho comfort of those who In pick ing up Implements have become accus tomed to cross their hands over their plates. MISCELLANEOUS DRAR Mrs, Post : I like tinted nail polish and my husband doesn't, lie argues that siich polish Is decid edly opposed to good taste. We have gradually gotten into an argument about this, which Is becoming Irritat ing out of all proportion to Its trifling subject, and we have now decided to a sic you to decide whether tinted nails are anything for a husband to grow rabid about? Answer: Slnoe the supposition of a husbnnd's growing rabid over nail polish Is not quite believable, I'm not quite sure whether this letter Is In tended to be answered seriously or to be taken as a Jest. However, suppos ing the question to be genuine, I would say that nails carefully manicured nhd slighted tinted are certainly In good taste. Rut gilded or silvered or deep ly colored ones are something else again. In fact, those deepest red ones, whJrh look as though the nail had been torn off and the finger ends left bleeding, are revolting to all except the few who have become Inured to the shock of them. As a matter of fact, I doubt very much If a man can be found who does not hate them. ? ? ? Dear Mrs. Post : -The other evening my employer Invited me to go home to supper with him and his family, so that afterwards we could finish some work. Ills wife nnd young daughter were extremely pleasant and hospita ble, but never asked me to remove my hat. I went to the table with It on and worked for several hours nfter the meal In the same discomfort. Is It necessary to wait until the hostess says something? Answer: Your employer's wife might perhaps have asked you If you would like to take off your hat. Rut I Imag ine that she thought you preferred tc keep it on, nine? you did not tnke It off. before going Into the dining room. Whenever you go to anyone's house for nn evening meal and are wearing a dny dress and hat, you take off the hat only If you wartt to. Asking any one to take off hat or glovea la rare ly If ever heard In the present day. A hostess sometimes >says to a friend who continues to sit In a heavy coat, "Don't you want to take your coat off?" Thin Is not a phrase of hospital ity so much as an exclamation made hecnuse she feels that her guest Is ab sent-mindedly unaware of her own dls comfort. * ? by Kmlly Post. ? WN1J H?rvlc?.

Our lesson Is a temperance lessau nnd applies to other things than In dulgence In Intoxicating liquors. Our age is Intoxicated with the love of pleasure, pursuit of gain, and various kinds of self-ambltlon. I. Israel's Reckless Security (vv. 1-3). Thfcj were blind to the perils that surrounded them. They trusted in the mountains of Samaria for Ihelr pro tection. They regarded their city na Impregnable. They seemed to have re garded the utterances of Amos as the dreams of a fanatic. The same blun dei-s are belnp; made In America by those who are depending upon money and armaments Instead of righteous ness as the national defense. II. Israel's Extreme Luxury (vv. Periods of prosperity are always characterized by luxury. The luxury of Israel expressed Itself In: 1. Extravagant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of Ivory ? perhaps wood Inlaid with tvory. 2. Indolence (v. 4). Many lazily stretched themselves on their couches ? lived lives of Indolence. Such Is the way of many In America today. 3. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). Tho implication here Is that they had their dainties out of season. They bought what they desired, regardless of what It cost. 4. Adorned their fensts with music (v. ft). They sang Idle songs ? even Invented musical Instruments for thl3 purpose. How like the times In which we live I By means of the radio, vul gar nnd even licentious sentiments aro carried to our ears through the noble art of music. 5. They drank wine (v. 6). They were not satisfied with ordinary drinking vessels ? they drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the Intoxi cating cup that their feasts which were adorned with the refinement of music ended in drunken debauchery. III. Israel's Failure to Grieve for Joseph (v. 8). Joseph here stands for Ephralm and Mnnasseh, hla two sons. Ephralro be came the principal tribe of the north ern kingdom, so Joseph is used as a synonym for the nation. IV. The Inevitable Consequence (vv. 7-11). 1. They shall go Into captivity (v. 7). The northern kingdom was ! the first In sin and therefore first to go Into captivity. 2. The calamitous circumstances of the siege of Samaria (vv. 8-11), The city with all Its Inhabitants was to be delivered up to Its enemies. a. Israel, the first in rank as well as first in numbers and power, went first Into captivity. b. Their revelry to ceaso (v. 7). There was to be a rude awukening from their drunken carousals. c. God's Judgment upon the city In strange contrast to his love for Jacob (v. 8). Men, women, nnd children went Into captivity at the hnnds of the Assyrians. d. The surety of God's command ment (v. 11). The destruction was to be universal. The rich and the poor, the large nnd the small were Included. God has sworn thnt his Judgments shall fail. He Is a God of Justice. He is also the God of hosts, the con troller of tho whole universe, there fore none can escape. Though God sometimes waits long, he does not for get. V. Israel's Ridiculous Conduct Ex posed (vv. 12-14). ' 1. It wns ns nhnurd ns plowing up on n rock with oxen. Their hard hearts were ns unresponslvo to the cnll of God ns rocks nre to the plow of the farmer (v. 12). 2. Their honsted (lower ns n nntlon (v. 13). Outwardly the nntlon wns characterized by great wealth and splendor. This n 1 1 wns to pass away with the stroko of divine Judgment. S. A nntlon raised up ngninst them (v. 14.). God raised up the Assyrian nntlon to punish Isrnel. The very for tified cities which they boasted of, Amos tells, would bo tnken nwny nnd used ngnlnsit them. N? , rnese Nearness of life to tho Saviour will necessarily involve greatness of love to him. As nearness to the sun in creases the temperature of tho vari ous planets, so near nnd lotlmate corn munlon with .Testis rates the heat of the soul's affections toward him. ? Spurgeon.

A word of comfort for the snufTlers of the nation has come out of the West. Tills Is to the effect that doubt hns been expressed before a session of the American Association for t lie Advancement of Science that t lie common cold is infectious or even of bacterial origin. For be It known that persons who Huffer from common colds, the snuf tlers on street cars, In the ofllces and their own firesides are the most mis erable of persons In addition to their acute sufferings from colds. They are under constant suspicion, to bo avoided and shunned, in the general belief of most grown-ups and all grown-ups who have children that the common cn>ld spreads Its ills In passing; that it is better even to look tho other way when a person with a "code In his hed" Is near. Tills, of course, Is added bitterness to , the sufferer, especially so when he too, believes with the majority and feels that he Is an Incubator of disease wherever he may go. l.'nfor tunately a man with a cold has ids living to make when he Is ailing just as he has when lie Is well. If ever. And lie goes about Ills business shunned and shunning, miserable in double measure. Of course, the doubt that has been expressed before the science ad vancement association has not been proved, but doctors have a way of holding their beliefs to themselves unless they have reasonable support for their beliefs. In this case, I'rof. William J. Kerr and I>r John II. I, agon, members of the University of California's staff or physicians, re ported experiments iH which all at tempts to transmit colds by infection or direct Inoculation hud failed. Therefore* the doubt laid before the Association for the Advancement of Science that the common cold Is in fectious or of bacterial origin. This thought, of course, Is not as surance. Nttr does It license the ad dict to common colds to go about among his fellows without the usual precautions. Hut it does give him hope that some day he will be re ceived In society and business a lit tle less resentfully, after what the California doctors suggest as a pos sibility is proved to be fact, if It can be proved to be fact. And then gen erally accepted. ? St. Louis Globe Democrat.
