SERMONETTE
Yea He loved' the people! all
His saints are in Tjiy hand;
and they sat down at Thy feet;
everyone shall receive of Thy
word.—Deuteronomy 33:3.
He’s true to God who’s true to
man; wherever wrong is
done
To the humblest and the weak
est, ’neath the all-behold
ing sun,
That wrong is also done to us;
and they are slaves most
blase,
Whose love, of right is for
themselves, and not for
all their race.

; "GETS RESULTS
Rubber heels now are on .60 out of each 100 pairs of shoes
worn by men. Such is the estimate going the rounds in the shoe
industry. It is not surprising, if you have noticed how many men
wear rubber heels. But maybe you remember back only a few
years when rubber heels were un usual. What brought them into
popularity?
The answer is—Advertising.
' Three-fourths of. the rubber heels sold arc for men’s shoes.
This is because most of the advertising has been directed at men.
One of these days some wise manufacturer of rubber heels will
notice this. Then he’ll call in the advertising man and his staff
’ of writers and artists; -Campaigns will’follow. And soon women (
will be wearing just as heels as men. It’s all a
matter of advertising—the most powerfST "force in the sale of
goods. The ideal combination is advertising.- wmen reaches con
sumers’ brains through their eyes, and personal salesmanship
which reaches less vividly through the ears.
Our present standard of living is largely the creation of ad;
-vertising. For advertising creates the demand, makes people
want the thing advertised. Whew the lure becomes powerful
enough, they hustle about and get the money to obtain what they
want. Advertising thus spurs sales. It also stimulates produc
tion—both of the things advertised and the things that have to
bo done on a bigger scale to obtai n money for purchasing adver
tised wares. There is a new thought for you—that advertising
is a definite agency of production. Most of us have been thinking
of it merely as* a medium of salesmanship. Advertising is what
is making us buy. Advertising is what is enabling us to buy. It
cicatcs the demand. And the demand induces us to work harder
to get the money to spend." If all advertising were abruptly dis
continued, the American standard of living would quickly drop
to the levels of grandpa’s day. Read the ads. They are a part of
the news, telling the intimate story of the average American’s
inner desires. The real history of civilization is written in ads.

DISCOVERY MAY PROLONG LIFE
Dr. Alexis Carael, the famous surgeon member of the Re
search staff of the Rockefeller Institute has made a discovery
that leucoytes the white corpuscles of the blood are. the agency
which prevents the spread of infection in animal tissues and
brings to those tissues substances which they need for rebuilding
themselves.
Scientists who have heard Dr. Carrel lecture at the National
Academy of Sciences arc busy speculating whether by utilizing
the white corpuscles science will eventually reveal the way to pro
long human life indefinitely. Dr. Carrel has been experimenting
with cultures of leucocytes extracted from chicken embryos and
with tissue kept alive by Renger solution.
TJte experiments show that “while corpulses protect the
body against infection and give new vigor to cells that have lain
dormant. The secretions of the loucoaytccs not only caused new
tissue to grow in the place of the diseased tissue,” but he found,
“when they were lacking the infected tissues healed much more
slowly if at all." ,
**’ According to Dr. Carrel, although the tissue ceases to g row
as people reach eld- age, and also begins to break down, new tis
sues will grow to heal wounds and fractured bones even in old
age. The question is, if Dr. Carrel has made the great discovery,
will not its real effect be to prolong human life?

John Moody, busines expert, feels moody. He sees another
period of deflation coming late next year. That Is, unless farmers
get better prices. Present national prosperity, as Moody sees it,
is not well balanced. The farmer’s purchasing power is less than
before the war, while city people’s income averages higher. Until
the two become better balanced. Moody doesn’t see how there can
be a smooth and big-scale exchange of products between city* and
farm. Sounds sensible. Equilibrium will come.

Twenty-one people died from
Tuberculosis in Clarke county be.
tween January 1 and November 1,
according to a statement issued
Thursday by the Woman’s Club
committee directing the sale of
Anti-Tuberculosis Christmas seals.
This committee is seeking $2500
in Clarke county with which a
nurse will be employed to help
educate the people in precepting
spread of the. malady.
ISSUE A
STATEMENT
The statement follows:
“These figures serve to explain
Clarke County's need of the money
to be raised for. combating tuber
culosis by the sale of Christmas
stamps.
Clarke county had 37 deaths last
year from .Tuberculosis. The aver,
age number of deaths from Tu
berculosis for the country at large
is 114 to 100,000 of population.
Clarke Cotinty has a population of
27,000, which makes our death-
rate from Tuberculosis 137 in
100,000. That is thirty more deaths
than the average for the whole
country: •
Last year up to the first of No
vember there had been 21. That
show's that the situation is not "yet
i.Tjprbved. And the fact that our
average is so much above the
average for the country at large
shows- that Clarke County has a
real Tuberculosis prbolem.
FIGHT
DISEASE ’
Christmas Seals will be sold this
year for the purpose of raising
money to help fight Tuberculosis
here at home. We need a hospital
for tuberculosis {eventually, but
even if we had enough money to
build a fine hospital right now we
would have to have, a Tuberculosis :
nurse first, tO' go into the homes ;
and find the cases, and educate {
the people with regard to the j
white plague., The Woman’s Club ;
and the Community Council have,
become actively interested in rais- 1
ing enough money to procure such f
a nurse immediatley. They will t
plaqe on sale twenty-five thou- j
sand Christmas seals, and the pro-1
ceeds from the sale of them will I
be used toward inauguratng a lo-1
cal anti-tuberculosis .program. I
When you buy your Christmas I
seals buy the little stamps with I
the Ted cross on them. It will help ]

so. Stamp" every piece mail that |

OUR BOARDING HOUSE
To make prosperity last, economists say, the farmer must get
a bigger share of the nation’s income. Otherwise he can’t buy
much, which automatically curbs sales of city-made products. So
it’s good news, from the government, that the farmer’s normal
buying power is being restored to him. A long way to go yet,
but the 12 leading crops pt present prices are worth nearly $1",-
300,000,000 more, than the same crops a year ago.
A steer is more careful of his stomach than even a college
student well informed about diet. So rtiys Dr. Francis G. Benedict,
nutrition expert, addressing National Academy of Sciences. The
old raying, that “most,of us dig our graves with our teeth," is
worth repeating every time we sit down St the dining table or
lunch counter. Tho way to a man’s heart, and usually to hls coffin,
is through his stomach.

Mary Garden says this, which would get a nod of approval
from Socrates. “Life has two tragedies. One lies in not getting
.the thing you want in this wojld, and the other Ilea in getting
it.” Particularly in so-called success, tho journey is better than
the destination. Joy is in pursuit, rather than capture. Victory
is soon forgotten, but the war never. v ,
Rum hounds, things are going’ from bad to worse. Scotland

Shanks, manufacturer of plumbing supplies in Edinburg, writes
us that Scotland is beginning to. vote dry by local option. He pre

and stops making the stuff, what will our bootleggers copy for
