Bci Calvin Coolidge. addressing The American Federtat : on of Art* and The American Association cf Music, said. “If clothes make the min, and certainly pood dress gives one a sense of self-respect and poise, how <uch more is it true that clean, beautiful surrounding- lend a moral tone to a community?" And added, “We are gradually getting rid of the oppressive ugliness of our communi- Oppressive ugliness: a good house next to i shack; a beautiful lawn with a vacant lot overgrown with weeds adjacent; unsightly outbuild ings; highway entrances cluttered up with nondescript, claptrap, unpaint- cd and otherwise obnoxious billboards store signs of every sort, shape and description protruding at all sorts of angle- from store buildings— •iortie high, some low—all derogatory to any sense of attractiveness; poor ly kept streets, open dumps, unpuint- td buildings, a dilapidated square, tin can alleys, visible pollution o*. streams, and ugliest and most op pressive of all—a citizenship with an inferiority complex one devoid of civic pride. Oppressive ugliness is that which makes residents of a community say, “Oh. you won't mind that after you’ve lived hire awhile"? and the absence of which makes a Hunger say, “I like this place." Oppressive ugliness is that which creates atmosphere. How often have you gone into communities or mer cantile eslablUhments and given ns on foi old th. place that there is no “atmosphere?" Atmosphere is that which invites or repels; atmosphere is the making or losing of sale-, prestige and good will. Oppressive ugliness relates ma terially to appearance. How does your town look to u customer? Eighty per cent of those things purchased today are sold through, or influenced by the eye. Therefore, how your town or community looks is important. This is the season of the year when everything oppressive should be annihilated. Nature is ready to help make things attractive. Start now to help take your town or com munity to a good old-fashioned house cleaning: dean it up—scrub it ur— dres- it up—and keep it up! Include yourself in the cleaning: get rid of the mental cobwebs that make everything about your place of abode so commonplace. Rid your self of the superstition and pre judice that your town cannot bo as modem, (attractive and interesting ar any city anywhere. Like life your town or community is what you and the rest of the peo ple like you work to make it. It is Jeremiah 7:1-11, 21-23 REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE. D. D.~ It is good for any discouraged per son to spend time with Jeremiah. He j had been given a mission. No matter j huw the people treated the messages j that he was sent to deliver, he just r-.mr right back at them when least | expected. Read the entire chapter and then keep right on through chap ter ten; ali forms the message which this rr.an presented at. this time. You will find that Jeremiah was ahead of his day in the use of parables ind object lessons. People always pay more attention to an object or a story that relates to the subject matter then under consideration. Jeremiah was bold 3« un ambassa- 1 dor for he was not delivering his own message. In the opening vcr. fc e to- ' day he makes it clear that he had :» “word” to present from Jehovah. This should have been enough to make the people stop and listen. The . place where the speaker took his} stand is interesting. It wa- at the gate entering into the temple in Jeru- ' salcm. No longer were the people , going therein to loam what they ( should do, that they might practise the truths in their lives. Now Jere- j miah tri'.*s to make them think right ly about the temple as a place of . worship and no refeard it as a kind of a talisman which would be a- a ! charm to enable them to go out and ; do just as they pleased. “Amend your ways and your do ings, and I will cause you to dwell in ' this place." Yes. That is just what I he had aid before, but they had not j paid any attention thereto, so they must be i.ride to hear the same com mand again. With this summons there was a promise from Jehovah. If the people would only obey, they could continue in Jerusalem and Judea and not be carried away into captivity, as had been the case with the Northern Ten Tribes. It may be that the people tried to drown out the voice of Jeremiah with their slogan "The temple of Jeho vah," for the very walls had become j a kind of fetisch. That is the way | the people of Ephesus did when they cried for a length of time. “Great i ; Diana of the Ephesians" at ’he time J of Paul’s plain preaching of portin- j ent truth. Jeremiah would also use repetition ] for the sake of emphasis. Hi-* wore was “thoroughly" us he told them thi extent to which they must give uj their sins. These sins were named ir part, and they have a social relation ship. Wrong was being done to “hi: neighbor, the sojourner, the father less, and the widow." God is alway* concerned for the defenceless and Hi , make mankind love instead of hate one another. By means of i varied kinds of communications this world is indeed a neighborhood, but it is far from being a brotherhood, such as our Jehovah desires. Plainest language in used in giv ing a list »f cu“omary sins. They were named thieves, murderers adulterers and makers of lies. There was only one way they could stop such things. It was not by offering more sacrifices. They were remind ed of the loving command that had been given when they were being j called "ut of Egyptian slavery. It ' was "Hearken untc my voice." The , call of Jeremiah was none other than ■ a renewal of thi9 Voice from the ; Throne. It was about the last call that would be- given, and yet it was ' not too late. Right now they must “Amend your ways thoroughly." A like urgent call, coupled with a b!cs«- J ed promise comes to every present day -inner, if and when we will meet the conditions, and they reasonable, God will fully do his part in keeping the covenant.

C. Ray, who lives near here, 'T found Cardui to be of the greatest benefit to me. I was seriously 111 for about two months, and for sev eral months I was not well. My nerves were all unstrung. I could not bear the least noise around me. I could not sleep “My head ached until It seemed as if it would burst. My feet and limbs swelled dreadfully. I felt tired all the time. When I wa3 up, I dragged around the house, but most of the time I spentaon the bed. “I got Cardui and began taking!it regularly. Very soon I could see tliat it was helping me. I began to sleep botUv and eat more. The awful nervousness got better. “When I had finished the first fcottle, I was much better than I had been for many weeks. I was so encouraged that I kept right on. Before very long I was doing all my housework and was feeling quite well.*' Thousands of other women have ofu COACH *595 ck Value ./or Value Price/or Price/ If you are considering the purchase of an auto mobile, you owe it to yourself to check the new Chevrolet Six against any other car—value for value and price for price!

Give vJ me sumfin to eat, won't you, Mummy?” How often have you heard that? Once a day at least? And you spread a piece of bread with good, fresh butter—and maybe some jam — with a glass of rich, fresh milk to make it a really nourishing “sumfin” that Buddy gets. At least you hope the butter and milk are perfectly fresh — or know they arc if you have a General Electric Refrigerator. There is a world of sat* isfaction in having this assurance that the milk, butter, eggs, fresh fruits, “left-overs,” ct cetera, that descend into Buddy's ravenous “innards” are fresh and unspoiled. Food infection is danger- ous—and only such con' stant dry cold as you get with a General Electric Refrigerator offers sure protection against the dangers of food contamina' tion. There are other reasons for preferring this re- frigerator cf the future, of course—mechanical dc- tails of perfection such as the enclosed mechanism, scaled against dirt and moisture, and elimination of oiling—convenience—sanitation—economy of oper ation—freedom from repair expense ....
