A DYING PRESIDENT’S VALE
DICTORY
W r hile death was waiting to usher
him into eternal life, Dr. Samuel
Brooks thought of his students.
He had been president of Baylor
University, in Texas, for twenty
nine years, and his last class was
soon to graduate.
With numbing hand he had signed
their diplomas, and now, while there
were a few moments left he wanted
to send them a message of faith and
cheer. It was read to them during
the graduation exercises—after his
own graduation.
The message will be as cheering
tomorrow as today, and is well worth
repeating. These nre Dr. Brooks
words as they are quoted by the As
soc iatod Press:
“I stand on the border of mortal
life, but I face eternal life.
“I look backward to the years of
the past to see all pettiness, all triv
iality shrink into nothing, and dis
appear.
“Adverse criticism has no mean
ing now. Only the worthwhile things,
the constructive things, the things
that have been built for the good of
mankind and the glory of God count
now.
“There is beauty, there is joy, and
there is laughter in life—as there
ought to be.
“But remember, my students, not
to regard lightly nor to ridicule
sacred things, these worthwhile
things. Hold them dear, cherish
them, for they alone will sustain you
in the end. And remember, too,
that only through work and ofttimes
through hardships may they be ob
tained.
“But the compensation of blessing
and sw'eetness at the last will glorify
every hour of work and every heart
ache from hardship.
“Do not face the future with
timidity or fear. Face it solidly,
courageously, joyously. Have faith
in what it holds.
“My own faith as I approach eter
nity grows stronger day by day.
The faith I have had in life is pro
jected into this vast future toward
which I travel now.
“I know that I go to an all-power
ful God, wherever He may be. I
know He is a personality who creat
ed man in His image. Beyond that
I have no knowledge—no fear—
only faith.” —Literary Digest.
HURRAH FOR THE DEPRESSION!
(By Dr. Thornwell Jacobs)
I have before me the front page
of one of our Atlanta dailies. For
the first time in months, so far as I
can recall, this front page, whch is
supposed to carry the big news of
the day, is occupied almost entirely
with important information about
the way in which civilization is
struggling to regain its foothold
economically.
The leading article advises us that
the nations of the world, under the
weight of economic pressure, have
agreed to a moratorium for one year
as to all international debts.
Another story tells us that the
State of Georgia is eliminating from
its budget scores of useless offices,
commissions and boards and reduc
ing salaries to the point where they
are no larger than they were before
the depression occurred.
A third leading headline advises
us that the City of Atlanta is mov
ing to eliminate some 250 useless of
fices or employes by which it is plan
ned to save the city an annual ex
pense of a million dollars.
Still another leading article quotes
Franklin Roosevelt, who stands a
good change to be the next President
of the United States, as saying that
taxes are excessive by reason of too
much local self-government, and giv
ing his reasons therefor.
Still another story advises us that
the heads of the various branches of
the University of Georgia agreed to
reduce their operating costs and to
prune their expenses by l-educing
their pay rolls, if absolutely neces
sary. This also will doubtless mean
that salaries he reduced to a point
where they are of the same value as
they were before the depression be
gan.
Sooner or later this same sort of
thing will he going on all over the
United States. It means that we are
recovering from an orgy of spend
thrift taxing and expending of taxes.
It means that we are beginning to
realize the value of a dollar.
Nothing could have brought us to
our senses except a good, hard de
pression. Man is so constituted that
while there are “millions at our
house” he pours out his money like
water, and only when the people
howl under the burden of taxation
do our politicians and statesmen
have sufficient moral backing to do
the thing which they know they
should have never ceased from do
ing.
BREAD DOESN’T FATTEN,
EXPERT TELLS WOMEN,
TO AID WHEAT SALES
Addressing American women from
15 to 50 years old in his campaign
to reduce the wheat surplus, Joseph
Wilshire, president of Standard
Brands, Inc., points out that “bread
will not make them fat—that the
kind of food they eat, the number of
calories they use up in work, play,
and keeping alive.”
If a person eats more of any item
of food than he needs, he gets fat,
Mr. Wilshire points out, and that is
true, too, of bread, but it’s not the
bread, it’s eating too much, that
adds weight.
“If a woman, whether she’s 15 or
50, uses up only 2,000 calories a day
doing nothing more strenuous than
playing bridge or riding in the back
seat on an automobile and gets
3,000 calories in the food she eats,
she will get fat, but not because she
eats bread. She will get fat because
each day she is taking into the
storehouse a thousand calories more
than she is using. The extra thou
sand calories are stored as a reserve
supply of fat. She can keep right on
eating the same amount of food and
not get fat if she will only ‘spend’
these extra calories doing some
housework or playing tennis or golf,
horseback riding or swimming, tend
ing flowers in her garden or getting
any other kind of exercise she wants.
“If she uses up all the calories
she eats she won’t get fat and she
won’t have to worry about eating
bread, and if she will stop discrimin
ating against bread she will help a
great deal in the important economic
problem of using the wheat surplus.
In that way she will do her bit to
hasten the return of prosperity.”
EAT AND BE PROSPEROUS!
The livestock industry will stage a
big parade in Chicago to induce peo
ple to eat more meat. The Federal
Farm Board has been trying for
more than a year to get people to eat
up its surplus wheat. The National
Dairymen’s organization is in the
midst of a big campaign to induce
people to drink more milk and eat
more butter and cheese.
Summing up the situation from
this point of view, it appears that
all Georgians and Southerners must
eat their way back to prosperity. *
That is a unique form of national
adversity. The table is “groaning
with food” and just at this time an
entire people suffers a loss of appe
tite.
Many patriotic citizens are meet
ing this crisis nobly. Thqy are eat
ing all they can. The individual
must be granted certain limitations
in this kind of public service. Thou
sands are willing to render the full
est service possible if they are en
listed in the army of unemployed.
If eating will get us out of this
difficulty, we’ll attack a porterhouse
steak for breakfast, contrary to
established custom. We cannot pro
mise simultaneous support to the egg
market. Physical limitations cannot
be extended indefinitely. Atlanta
Georgian.
THINGS ONE SHOULD KNOW
If you bring sausages to a boil be
fore frying they will not burst open.
Put them into a pan of cold water
and bring to a boil, then brown them
on broiler.

When packing dresses in a trunk,
cover them liberally with tissue pa

To remove obstinate stoppers
from glass bottles, dip a piece of
woolen cloth into boiling water and
wrap it tightly about the neck of
the bottle. In a few minutes the
stopper can be removed.

Put hot cookies or doughnuts in
a crock with the skin of an orange
or lemon. It gives them a very
delicate flavor.

In cooking anything in which milk
and the acid of vegetables, such as
tomatoes, are blended, dissolve a
pinch of soda in the milk and there
will be less danger of curdling.

To remove rust from the inside of
a dish cover, you should rub the dis
colored part well with sweet oil and
leave for a day or two, then rub
with finely powdered, unslacked
lime until all the rust disappears.
Give another rubbing with oil and
keep in a dry place.

If you wish to restring a necklace
use a violin string—this will last
much longer than ordinary thread
