When primitive man first learned how to make woven fabrics and to fashion them into his clothes, laying aside the more primitive apparel of skins, he had made a great step forward in the way of condfort, There has been for some time a sort of half-hearted interest in leather coats of various sorts. When -the Prince of Wales appeared in a leather coat not so very long ago a number of his admirers of both sexes thought to show their loyalty by buying and wearing coats of the same sort. But in spite of princely favor the all-leather coat can hardly be said to be a best seller. The leather hat, even of: light-weight suede, has'even greater disadvan- tages. Hats that fit as_closely as those of the present mode must be of more porous, less compact texture. But Jeather persists—not as the material from which to fashion an entire coat or hat, but for the pur- pose of ornamentation—or for the purpose of re-enforcement. Leather belts have been bought in large num- bers in Paris. With the simple lit- tle cloth frock a narrow belt of color placed around the hips gives a smart finish. Sometimes there are two of tHese narrow belts—one about the hips and tife other some- what above that line. All manner of ornaments are made of leather— and the leather flower is still favored for the buttonhole decoration. Bindings of leather are useful as well as highly ornamental when ap- plied to ‘sport clothes. Motor rugs and steamer rugs. are frequently made with neat binding around the edge of stitched leather and this per- haps gave the idea to the makers of sports clothes to produce the e finish on sport coat: sy (Copyright. 1826.)

Way back in the days when the Greeks were worshiping many gods they pald homage to a beautiful god- dess named Ceres. She was the god- dess of the grains. Today cereals raiik high in our food necessities. _ The little old grains, wheat, corn, rye, oats, barley, rice, keep bobbing up on our tables. If we get them as nature grew them, bran and all, we get an exceptionally rich food. Milled into flour, these grains appear in bread, cake, ple— even in the thickening of gravies,|te! cream sauce, custard fillings. The 'whole grains contain protein for body bullding, starch and sugar for energy or fuei, phosphorus, iron, fodine, silicon, some lime, all neces: sary mineral salts and their insep. erable companions—the vitamins A and B. Growing children need cereals, and the best ones are the whole grains. That is, whole wheat, &s a cereal for breakfast; whole wheat bread and cookies. The unpolished rice gives more nourishment than the polished, for the polishing process robs this cereal of the mineral salts and vita- mins. Even the brown rice does not contain much lime, and other foods rich in lime must be eaten to make up this deficiency. However, a ‘“rice diet” is not necessary in America. Rice i a most appetizing ‘“vegeta- ble” when boiled so that every grain is firm and distinct. Many people think they do not like rice because they have only seen.it served as a white, pasty mass. They should try BEAUTY CHATS A Sagging Chin Line. A sagging chin line must literally be propped up. Or strapped up might be more descriptive. A great deal can be done by astringents and massage, but an- hour or so of a snugly ar- ranged strap will do wonders. ‘This, of course, is advice for the woman who is getting on toward 40 or who is perhaps past 40. There are two good treatments. One is white of egg, well beaten and diluted with’ its own amount of vin- egar. It should be kept in a corked, wide-mouthed bottle or an airtight jar and rubbed over the skin after it has been cleansed with cold cream. paste dries and tightens and draws up the skin in a marvelous fashion.

MOTHERS One mother says: I find that whenever I write the baby wants to write, too. I keep several pads of scrap paper with a pencil attached, When she wants to write she is given one of these pads. She is not apt to carry the pencil about and run the chance of falling with it in her hand, because it is hanging to the pad of paper. A Good Ready BY FLORENCE DAVIES. “Fire when you are ready,” the admiral said to his gunmen at Ma- nila Bay on a certain historic morn- ing, you remeniber; 3 Some of us need to have the com- mand pinned up over our writing tables or beside our mirrors—if any- body fastens such hints around the room in the old way, any more. Perhaps the habit has gone out of fashion along with notes on the pin- cushion, “tie backs” and “La knots low in the back of the neck. But we need the reminder even more than in the placid, if straighter-lace nineteen hundreds. So. many times we fire long before we're ready. Is there an argument under way? Out leaps the opinion, half-formed, like the premature explosion of a small but hot-tempered bomb. Or there is an important errand to be done. Only when the messenger has departed do we remember some important detail, overlooked till that moment, A letter is mailed and sent. “Did you tell her thus and s6?" asks some- body. No, we never thought of that, and it was the very kernel of the situation, too. Or again fault is on the positive side—we did write words.that we would give much_to recall a few hours afterward. We fired before we were ready, and not only wasted our ammunition, but in- flicted serious wounds, long to be regretted. ‘We are going on a journey. Do ‘we take time to make careful lists of what we shall need? This to wear, that to pack in the new traveling bag, the other to carry in the hat- box that is the joy of our heart.

A mother complains that her 2 year-old daughter screams and nearly has hysterics when the wind blows, if the child is out of doors. For a while mother humored her and would stay out with her. Now even when the day is perfect the child will not ven- ture out unless mother goes along. What can account for this, unless some playmates may have scared the child? Certaln it is that somebody has scared the child or betrayed fear of the wind or the open in the presence of the child. All such unnatural fears, phobias or obsessions are imparted by wrong education. Most of a child’s education comes through the child’s own observation. Even an infant who has not as yet learned to talk under- stands what is sald of expresion b, those about him, and if mother is afrald of thunder or fother is afraid of snakes the baby will be afraid of these things, too. But an infant has no instinctive or inborn fear of thunder or snakes, or dogs, or queer 100king people. Such. obsessions on phoblas in a child call for patience and assurance ny the part of the parent. If the parent lacks assurance he or she can- not hove to fool the child. The par- ent must be quite sure of himself or herself first; sure that there is really no harm in the wind, the wet, the thunder, the dog, the snake, the bird or whatever the bogy may be. By expressing fearlessness the parent imparts fearlessness to the child. But the child can’t be fooled, and it is bet- ter not to try to deceive him. This mother should read or sing to the child about the wind, nursery rhymes, slumber songs and the like. She should encourage her to listen to the wind singing in the tree or play- ing in the yard. She should make the baby laugh at the frolic and pranks of the wind, and show her how it blows the leaves along. Such pleas- ant impresions tend to blot out of the child’s mind the fright she must haye had in some way or other. It seems incredible, but it is true, that some parents still conjure up bogey men and other bBofrights to scare the young child into submission. One of the meanest of these is the trick of threatening to call in the doctor if the child objects to taking some nauseous medicine. This is all very fine until the sad day arrives when the doctor really must come, and then the poor little victim of the trick pays dearly for the parent’s mis- take. Often the doctor can guage the intelligence of the parents by the be- havior of the child. (Copyright. 1026.) WHEN WE GO SHOPPING BY MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN. Toilet Soap. Choosing a soap is important be- cause we want it not only to cleafise our skins, but to preserve our' com- lexions. The market presents good, and indefferent soaps to us, and & choice isn’t easy unless you know what's what, . Those who indulge in false economy buy cheap’ soaps, and set poor ex- amples to_others. Cheap soaps are usually soft, highly scented, and richly colored. The color and scent are merely intended to conceal poor material. Toilet soap, to be healthful, should be pure and unadulterated. Al soap i8 made by combining a fatty acid’ with an alkaline solution. The fatty bodies used are tallow, lard, palm oil, olive oil and cottonseed oil. The more expensive soaps contain al- mond oil, spermaceti, cocoa butter, or ground nut ofl. A good castile soap bar represents the finest in soap. It is less affected by different degrees of hardness in water, and it cleanses and heals. It is old-fashioned enough to be without perfume, and it comes at a moderate price by the bar. ‘While the size and shape of soap cakes , most of them have round edges to fit better into the palm of the hand. They are cut in ovals for the same reason, and so that they won't adhere too firmly to soap dishes. - \ 1If you like perfumed soap, buy fine soep. There is good perfumed soap of French manufacture. The. French soaps are not only cleverly med, but thelr odor lasts wel soaps are also seasoned and hard, therefore economical in use. -n:‘ed soap is the cl;(olee tv;r ‘economy' good' service. Many housewives know this fact, and they lay in a sup- ply to age on their shelves. But don’t buy rancid soaps fust a clerk tells you they have “aged.” A soap| becomes rancid because it was manu- factured of poor stock, or has been ex- posed to heat or dampness. - Soaps containing too much oleate get soft|’ and soluble. For that reason the lath- ering qualities of a soap are not a sat. isfactory basis for comparison of quality, Soaps made from olive oil ‘or co;;onuaod ofl will lather better, but waste more rapidly, than soaps of solid fats, palm oil or tallow. A milled soap is one which has had most of \the water wrung out of Milling gives soap a firm, creamy te: ture, makes it easler on the skin and longer wearing. g Green Pepper Salad. ° Cut the stems from two large, sweet green peppers, then remove the seeds and wash the peppers thoroughly. Take a quantity ,of cream cheese, enough to fill the peppers, and add to it, mixing well, one-half a cupful of chopped nuts. Fill the peppers with the mixture and set in a cool place until just before serving, then cut in slices. Place one or two slices, accord- ing to size, on a lettuce leaf and serve indiyidually, pouring a tablespoonful of mayonnaise dressing over each slice. This will serve five people and makes a very pretty dish. Always f atal to flies, mosqui - toes and roaches. Not one survives this deadliestof insect-killers—BLACK FLAG.

The gypsy moth is one of the strang- est and worst pests ever brought over to this country from the Old World.

For this reason the natural enemies of most insects will not éat it, and so it increased with alarming rapidly. Strangest of all is the way it appears and disappears, one year very abundant here, then suddenly appearing somewhere else. On account of {ts wandering habits, it has earned the name of gypsy moth.

Fach type of ear has its own peculiar significance in determining character and often ability. An ear that is perfectly formed indicates a refined person. The varlous shapes, sizes and forms of ears all mean sofmething to the character reader. There are long ears, short ears, narrow ears, thin, broad, projecting, flat-lying and misshapen ears. Be- ware of the chap whose ears are thick and set low—that is, much below an imaginary line with the nostrils— for here is a man with plenty of energy, accompanied by brute force and the inclination to destroy every- thing in sight. Destructiveness will dominate his character. He not only will bruise your feelings, but your head if your try to oppose him. hin ears are ifdexes to good memories; that is, of things heard. A thin-eared pérson will remember things heard more readily than those seen. Extremely thick ears are not found ol refined persons. Large ears of medium thickness indicate shrewd- ness, executive ability and reasoning power. If the ear is set too far forward, you may expect partial deafness in edrly life, eapecially if the region just above the ears toward the temples is small or depressed. % (Covyrizht. 1926.)

Is God a Spirit, or is He a Person- ality and the Spirit but the manifes- tation of His Personality (St. John iv. 24)? ’Anlwer\——whsn Jesus sald, “God is a Spirit,” He meant that God thinks, feels and wills, that He knows and understands, that He is animatéd by sympathy and acts in an endless va- riety of ways to realize His purposes. In popular usage the word “spirit” sometimes indicates a phantom mov- ing in the realms of the vague and the illusive. No such meaning is in place here. The thought Jesus express- es is the life ener; the elan vital of the Divine Being ich suffuses all creation. b Consider your own personality; it is a unit of body, mind and soul. Their subtle relations and interactions are measurably explained by psychology, but the last word has not yet n said about them, Nevertheless, their reality is expressed by intelligence, emotion, volition and action. And this reality 18 verified in experience, not by specu- lation. : As the human personality is thus ex- pressed and verified, so in an infinite- ly higher™sense is the Divine Person- ality expressed and verified. We naturally think of personality in connection with its material limita- tions and are inclined to infer that these limitations hold true of the Deity. But this i8 a misleading idea. God is the perfect Being, from whom emanate ceaseless and creative forces of His_self-revealing and self-sacri- ficing Benevolence. He is not merely the timeless, changeless All-Inclusive Being of philosophy. He is the person- al Father-God of religion who is with- in, yet above, all worlds. “In Him we live and move and have our being,” .and through fellowship by prayer we have the assurance of His presence. This was the stream of reflection running through the transforming teaching of Jesus when He enthroned the worship of the Eternal Father in devout and truth-seeking souls. Boston, Mass. cfl who decided what should cons tute the Word of God inspired by Him to write those things which con- tain no moral or spiritual influence for good whatsoever? Answer—It would be interesting to know what books of the Bible the questioner has in mind. The men of the council to which he refers did not write any of the books of Sax Secriptures, old or new. The formation of the Old Testament canon was in three stages: The law, the prophets and the sacred writings. The contents of the law were finally determined upon in the time of Ezra. In the case of the prophets and sacred Lessons .in English BY W. L. GORDON. Words often 1 isused—Don’t say “he don't.”” Say ‘he doesn’t.” Often mispronounced—Chastening. Pronounce the a as in “ace,” t silent. Often misspelled—Franc (coin). Synonyms—Guess, supposition, con- jecture, theory, surmise, speculation. Word study—'“Use a word three times and it is yours.” Let us in- crease our vocabulary by mastering one word each day. Today's word, prejudice—a judgment or opinion formed without due examination. “I cannot share the prejudices of your religion.” QUESTIONS PARKES CADMAN writings no record has been left as to when they were collected and canon- zed. A book like Ecclesiastes was insert- ed in the canon because it was felt that a truly national collection of great books should even contain the utterances of a great pessimist. The Song of Songs was added be. cause the name of Solomon was linked to it and it lent itself so readily to symbolic treatment of the love of Jer hovah for his people. In the case of the New Testament the function of the council was to set its seal on the process of sifting and selecting these writings which had al- ready been in operation for nearly three centurles. ‘The earliest conciliar statement on questions of the contents of the New ‘estament’ was made by the Third Council of Carthage in 397. The list of books sanctioned by it corresponds with those of our New Testament. In the case' of the New Testament, if a modern council had to decide what books it would insert in the sacred canon, its decision, with ome or two minor exceptions, would be identical with that of the council of the fourth century. ¥ (Copyright. 1926.)
