Va-tro-nol is especially designed for nose and throat, where most colds start. Va-tro-nol should be used at that first sneeze or nasal irrita tion—just a few drops up each nos tril. Its timely use helps to prevent many colds—and to throw off colds in the early stages. Where irritation has, led to a clogged-up nose (a stuffy headP^dld or nasal catarrh)—Va-tro-noi^pfcne- trates deep into the nasal passages— reduces swollen membranes—clears away clogging ‘ mucus—brings com forting relief. Va-tro-nol is powerful yet abso lutely safe—for both children and adults. It has been clinically tested by physicians—and proved in every day home use by millions. (Note: The remarkable success of Vicks Drops—for nose and throat— has brought scores of’ imitations. The trademark Va-tro-nol is your protection in getting this exclusive Vicks formula. Always ask for Vicks Va-tro-nol. Now in two generous sizes—30c and 50c.) Va-tro-nol and its companion product, Vicks VapoRub (the mod em external treatment for colds) form the basis of Vicks Plan for Better Control of Colds—fully ex plained in each Vicks package. Kehoboth News Ly Rnt CLarl*s E. Ditf&ta, ^ The Christian and His Bible Lesson for October 14th. Acts 8:26-39. Golden Text: Psalm 119-97. The story of Philip and the Ethi opian is very appealing. The pic ture of the eunuch seated in his ghariot ’reading the prophecy of Isaiah, with the apostle beside him in the act of interpretation, ap peals strongly to one’s imagination. Now many folk today are quite as puzzled when they read the Bible as was this Ethiopian. Their prob lem may be stated as follows. *‘Why should we go to the Bible for guidance, a book written cen turies ago when life was so vastly different? Why not face our per plexities head-on, with our own Vigor of mind and soul?” Prof. Mary Lyman, of Union Seminary, has given an effective answer. She points out that the Bible has the advantage over con temporary culture in that it pre- jjents the issues of life in a simple and vivid form. Our age is enor mously confused and complicated. In Bible times folk lived and thought more directly and natural ly than they do now. It is a genu ine help to begin with a simple, clear outlook of the Good Book. Then, too, the Bible is essentially picturesque and dramatic. We can easily agree with Mrs. Lyman that pictures and drama are more con vincing than argument, however skilful. Think of the amazing suc cess of the Negro Bible play, “The Green Pastures,” which ran for a full year and a half in New York before packed houses. And we must remember that the Bible, in striking fashion, combines successfully the particular and the universal. Although written thou sands of years ago from an en tirely different background from that of today, it is as fresh and timely as ever. Let us then learn to love the Brok of Life until we can say with a full heart our Golden Text, “O how love I thy law! It is my med itation all the day.” The W. M. S. held -the Septem ber meeting in the hospitable home of Mrs. H. E. Freeland who is a very faithful member. The at tendance was larger than usual. There were several visitors, among them Mrs. Carrie Talbert and Mrs. Marion Traylor. Mrs. Talbert made a short, interesting talk of encour agement to the society of her old home church, also remarked that just twenty years ago during the life of her mother, that the society met with them and Dr. John Lake and his first wife attended. Mrs. J. T. Littlejohn, Sr., visited in this section last week also in the Red Hill section. She is much be loved, being the wife our beloved pastor, Rev. J. T. Littlejohn. Sr. She called in a number of homes. Sorry to report Miss Truler Winn on the sick list. Hope for her a speedy recovery. Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield and daughter visited Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Winn last Sunday. Mrs. E. M. Morgan, Mr. Elmer Talbert and Miss A. L. Morgan made a flying trip to Edgefield Fri day afternoon after school. Several families of the commu nity spent a very pleasant after noon Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Freeland and enjoyed a feast of scuppernongs. Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Morgan and Raymond enjoyed the day last Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Johnston at Wards. Several from this section attend ed a shower at the home of Mrs. Rupert Mayson, in honor of her son’s wife, a recent bride. Mr. Richard Gillam has not been feeling so well for several days. Mrs. Jordan, mother of Mrs. Minnie Winn, is spending some time with Mrs. Winn. This section experienced a splendid rain Saturday that was very acceptable, making it possible for planting fall gardens and planting of grains. Some grain is coming up fine, that was planted just before the rain. These cool mornings, shading oi the leaves, and the flight of yellow butterflies tell us Autumn is just around the corner.

In Isaiah and Jeremiah we find the new thought of God’s kindness gaining added force, but the book of Jonah gives the most interest ing and probably the least appre ciated glimpse of the development of the idea. Because of Jonah’s mishap, which resulted Jn a three days’ sojourn in the belly of a big fish, that book of four little chap ters has been too often passed over lightly. It deserves recogni tion, for it contains the most com passionate note in the Old Testa ment. Jonah was a preacher, and was ordered by God to go to Nineveh and denounce the city for its sins. Instead Jonah ran away, was caught in a storm at sea, thrown overboard by the sailors, and held in the belly of a great fish until he was thoroughly repentant and ready to obey. After this severe esson he went to Nineveh and an nounced that the city would be destroyed for its sins within forty days. So convincing were his words that the rulers of the city ordered a general period of fasting and re pentance. Who can tell [they cried] if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce an ger, and we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said he would do unto them; and he did it not. This was good luck for the peo- i pie of Nineveh but it was hard on Jonah and “he was very angry.”! He reproached God, saying, “I knew you wouldn’t go through witli your threat and that’s why I tried to run away from this assignment.’' He went outside the city and sat’ down-in a chair to watch and sulk and to see what would happen. The sun was hot and God caused su great gourd to grow up over Jonah and shelter him. But the next morning when Jonah thought he should be sitting pretty, God sent a worm to cut the stem of the gourd and it withered away. Then come the final verses which picture a more compassionate Jehovalr than any of the Old Testament writers: Then said the Lord, Thou • hast had pity on the gourd, for which thou hast not laboured, neither madest it grow; which came up in a night, and per ished in a night: And should not I spare Nin eveh, that «great city, wherein are more than sixscore thou sand persons that cannot dis- l. : cern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much cattle? What a noble utterance. What a long upward climb has been made since the days when the, Israelites plundered cities and wip ed out men, women and children under the conviction that they were working the will of God. The record of this upward progress is - the Old Testament. It begins with savage people, merciless prophets, and a terrible God. And it ends with a people who have learned humility through suffering.

Oct. 6.— “The average value of family liv ing for 46 South Carolina families in six agricultural counties cover ed in our recent survey is low com pared with that reported by similar studies in some states, but the pro portion of the total which is farm- supplied is higher "lor the South Carolina <tfamilies’S says Miss Mary E. Frayser, home economist of the South Carolina Experiment Sta tion. “The average value of living per year for the 46 families was $958”, Miss Frayser continues. “This sum is made up of an average cash ex penditure of $485, or 51 per cent, and an estimated average farm- supplied value of $473, or 49 per cent.” Miss Frayser’s survey is reported in Bulletin 299, A Study of Expendi tures for Family Living by 46 South Carolina Rural Families, which is i-endv for free distribution bv the Publications Department at Clem- jon College. Some striking facts and figures brought out in the bulletin are these: Expenditures for food averaged $383 per family- per year, 39 per cent of the total value of family living; shelter $168, 18 per cent: clothing $75, 8 per cent; fuel $28 3 per cent; other operating expense $64, 7 per cent; furnishings and equipment $18, 2 per cent; savings and investments $45, 4 per cent; general expenditures $179, 19 per cent. An average of $99, or 26 per cent of the total value of food, was spent for food purchased; $284, or 74 per cent, represented food sup plied by the farm. The records in dicate that the dietary needs of some of the families studied were probably not adequately met. The homekeepers supplied 25 per cent of the family income by util izing opportunities the farm offer ed for earning. Grain Sowing Time Have just unloaded car of bright Texas re-cleaned Seed Oats.
