MINUTE INFORMATION OF THE
BIBLE
Dr. Thomas Hartwell Horne in his
book, “An Introduction to the Crit
ical Study and Knowledge of the
Holy Scriptures,” says that an an
onymous writer in the eighteenth
century spent three years of his life
compiling much minute information
of the English version of the Bible
under the title of the “Old and New
Testament Dissected.”
According to this compiler’s fig
ures, there are 592,439 words in the
Old Testament and 181,253 in the
New Testament.
He has also even gone so far as
to reduce it to the number of letters
in each, there being according to
his figures, 2,728,800 letters in the
Old Testament, as against 838,380
in the New Testament.
And since figures are fascinating
to many people, he presents some
most interesting ones on the number
of books, chapters and verses in
each as follows: Thirty-nine books in
the Old Testament and 27 in the New
Testament; 929 chapters in the Old
and 260 in the New Testament; 23,-
214 verses in the Old Testament and
7,959 in the New. (If you doubt his
word, count them yourself.)
He also says that the word Lord
occurs 6,855 times in the Old Tes
tament and points out that the mid
dle chapter and the shortest one in
the Bible is Psalms 117 and the
shortest verse in the Old Testament
is I Chronicles 1:25.
Also interesting to note is the fact
that four verses of the 107th Psalm
are exactly alike, namely, the Bth,
15th, 21st and 31st.
AD GOT TOO MANY RESULTS,
FARMER COMPLAINS
Montgomery, Ala. Advertising
really brings results.
A certain Alabama farmer, whose
name is withheld by the State De
partment of Agriculture, has verified
that beyond a shadow of doubt.
The farmer had 25 young pullets
for sale, so he sat down and wrote
an advertisement for the Alabama
Farmers’ Bulletin, a free pamphlet
service to farmers.
In a few days there came a check.
The farmer crated up the chickens
and sent them to the buyer.
But the mail man came again and
again, bringing more checks.
It got to be very troublesome,
opening letters to find checks for
chickens, especially when there were
no more chickens.
Before the farmer knew it he had
a stack of checks—too many checks.
He wrote another notice for the
Bulletin:
“Pullets sold out. I have 93 let
ters, which most included checks. I
can’t buy stamps to return all of
these at the price I ask for pullets.
May I burn all these (checks). I
will hold them 10 days. If this isn’t
all right, advise. Thank you.”
The Bulletin editor suggested that
although buying stamps to return
the checks might cost more than the
profit on the 25 pullets, it would be
a good idea to do it, anyway.
AND STILL THEY COME !
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
YOU CAN’T PLEASE
EVERYBODY
No matter your walk in life, don’t
think that you are pleasing every
body. And because you are not
pleasing everybody, don’t let it wor
ry you. It’s humanly impossible to
do everything exactly to the liking
of everyone.
You may go along smoothly with
your work and pat yourself on the
back for doing a good job. Without
warning may come reproach for
something you did which did not
meet with the approval of those for
whom you work.
Public officials strive diligently to
serve their constituents, but there
are always some to condemn and
criticize, regardless of how well they
may be doing the duties of the office.
Even housewives, engaged in their
household work, are not immune from
criticism. Gossipy neighbors say that
this or that woman keeps an untidy
house; her cooking is terrible; she
neglects her children.
Farmers are blamed for not doing
this and that; pierchants are blamed
for not stocking certain brands of
merchandise —in every walk of life
you are at times subject to criticism.
The best thing is to do your work
the best you know how and have no
apologies to make for having done
your best. Remember that the fault
finder is merely a self-appointed
critic and his faults may exceed
yours in a far greater degree. So
don’t worry if you are reproved.
Determine for yourself if the re
proach is merited and if so, profit
by it. If you think the reproach un
warranted, then forget it and go on
with your work—conscience-clear.
Un-necessary reproof stings at
times; bitter words of blame may
cause suffering, but if you know you
are right, if you know that you are
doing the best you know how, then
even harsh words of bitter criticism
won’t dent your armor of unswerv
ing loyalty to your duty.—Dawson

LUNG’ VICTIM FINDS LIFE VERY
• GOOD
Miami Beach, Fla.—Fred B. Snite,
Jr., has been living in an iron lung
for 19 months, but he finds life in
teresting, he said. “I have a lot of
time to figure things out.”
The 27-year-old infantile paraly
sis victim laughed and joked as he
played chess with his father, drank
water through a glass tube and read
his fan mail for cameramen. The
breathing device in which he travel
ed from China by way of Chicago,
was rolled out on the sun patio of
his father’s estate for the occasion.
“Freddie, do you find life inter
esting?” asked Dennis R. Scanlan,
who is experimenting with a smaller
respirator for the invalid.
“I sure do,” said young Snite,
“and I’ll tell you why. I have a lot
of time to figure things out and most
of the other fellows don’t.”
The smaller respirator was tested
on Snite for the first time Monday
and found to need changes. It con
sists of an aluminum hood, cushion
ed in soft rubber, that fits over the
patient’s chest and stomach, leaving
the head, arms and legs exposed.
The present lung, a half-ton steel
cylinder, encases the entire body be
low the neck.
If further research should prove
the aluminum lung practicable,
Snite could be placed on a table
and tilted at various angles. Scan
lan made a plaster mold of Snite’s
torso and planned alterations of the
device.
ELIXIR DEATHS
Washington.—Strange as it may
seem, the illness of Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Jr., last Christmas was in
directly responsible for the deaths
of sixty-one persons within the past
six weeks.
It came about because the doctors
used anew drug on Franklin, called
sulfanilamide, to cure a streptococ
cic condition in his throat. Every
body read about it, and the drug
suddenly became in great demand.
So a manufacturer in Bristol,
Tenn., conceived the idea of prepar
ing the drug in liquid instead of
powder form. He dissolved it in
diethylene glycol—a substance very
much like anti-freeze for automo
biles.
Innocently enough, he shipped this
new preparation of sulfanilamide to
druggists and physicians in several
states. Almost immediately, he heard
about it—and so did the Pure Food
and Drugs Administration in Wash
ington.
It was tearing the kidneys out of
people who swallowed it, and killing
most of them. Before the Food and
Drug authorities could trace and
seize shipments, deaths totaled six
ty-one.

Desserts
A TOUCH of spice makes many
things nice. And it does more
than that, it makes many things
so palatable that it simplifies the
task of the housewife in introduc
ing that variety .into the diet
which all nutritionists recommend.
Such a dish as Baked Pineapple
and Rhubarb, for instance, would
be hard to sell to your family with
out the addition of cinnamon and
cloves. And what would Peach
Rice Pudding or Apple Cup Cus
tards taste like without a touch
of nutmeg? And how could Pear
and Cranberry Salad or Pineapple-
Ginger Mousse get along without
a little ginger?
Decide for Yourself
The only way to answer defi
nitely these rhetorical questions is
io try some of these dishes for
yourself, with and without the
spices. But we recommend that
yon try them first as a good dieti
tian devised them, and then you’ll
never dream of omitting the spice.
The first is
Baked Pineapple and Rhubarb :
Cut six cups rhubarb, unpeeled,-in
small pieces. Put in a baking dish
with one cup sugar, ten cloves,
one-eighth teaspoon cinnamon and
one cup pineapple syrup. Cover
and bake till tender at 375 degrees
for about half an hour. Serve
'old with some simple cake, such
as sponge cake. Serves eight.
Nutmeg Makes All the Difference
Peaeh Rice Pudding: Mix to
gether one and a half cups boiled
Instead of burning up withered
stalks and plants, save them to lay
over leaves used to cover flower
beds. They prevent leaves blowing
away. Burn these stalks and plants
in the spring.
THURSDAY, NQV Embfr if
rice, one-third cup sugar and one
fourth teaspoon nutmeg. Add the
contents of a 1-pound £an sliced
peaches, cut in pieces, and enough
peach syrup to just moisten. Pour
into a buttered baking dish, dot
with one tablespoon butter, and
bake in a moderate oven —350 to
375 degrees—for about twenty-five
minutes. Serve warm or cold with
thin cream flavored with nutmeg.
Serves six.
Apple Cup Custards: Beat three
egg yolks slightly, and add one
fourth cup sugar, one tablespoon
lemon juice, the contents of a No.
2 can apple sauce, three-fourths
cup milk and one-eighth teaspoon
nutmeg. Fold in three stiffly
beaten egg whites, pour into cus
tard cups and sprinkle nutmeg
over top. Set in hot water ana
bake in a 510w— 325 degree— oven
for about forty minutes or until
set. Serve cold. Serves eight.
These Have Ginger
Pear and Cranberry Salad: Re
move peeling from three ripe
pears, cut in halves and scoop out
the core. Place in lettuce leaver-
Mash one cream cheese and three
tablespoons canned cranberry
sauce, and then cream them to
gether until very smooth. Add a
few grains salt, and pipe this mix
ture around the edge of the pear
halves. Fill the center with cream
mayonnaise and sprinkle wit
chopped preserved ginger. Make
six.
Pineapple-Ginger Mousse:
one teaspoon gelatin in two tab e
spoons cold water, then disso
in one cup hot crushed pineapp •
Add one-fourth cup sugar and one
fourth cup chopped candied '
ger, and allow to cool. Fold in t
cups cream, beaten, pour into co
ered molds and pack in ice an
salt for four hours. Serves a
to eight.*
Leftover fish can be made
dozen good dishes, so it is m<'
nominal to buy a good-sized
fish and to make it last
days, rather than to buy asm ,
that is just enough.
