Pagan Mistletoe
* Russ Air Trains •
Japan is believed to be the only
country in which all the best writ
ers are women. In fact, Japanese
literature, for more than a thou
sand years, has possessed few, if
any, works of outstanding merit
that have been written by men.

Up to a century or two ago, mis
tletoe was excluded from the floral
decorations of churches at Christ
mastime because it was consid
ered to be an unholy plant, hav
ing been tainted with paganism
before the time of Jesus through
its use and worship by the ancient
Druids.

There’s a Good Reason
You’re Constipatedl
When there’s something wrong
with you, ths first rule is: get at
the cause. If you are constipated,
don’t endure it first and cure it
afterward. Find out what's giving
you the trouble.
Chances are it’s simple if you
eat the super-refined foods most
people do: meat, white bread,
potatoes. It’s likely you don’t get
enough "bulk." And “bulk” doesn’t
mean a lot of food. It’s a kind of
food that isn’t consumed in the
body, but leaves a soft "bulky”
mass in the intestines and helps
a bowel movement.
If this is your trouble, you
should eat a natural "bulk” pro
ducing food-such a one as the
crunchy, toasted, ready-to-eat
cereal—Kellogg’s All-Bran. All-
Bran is the ounce of prevention
that’s worth a pound of emer
gency relief. Eat it every day,
drink plenty of water, and “Join
the Regulars.” All-Bran is made
by Kellogg’s in Battle Creek.

Nose Solutions
Curb Number
Os Operations
By DR. JAMES W. BARTON
IT IS very gratifying to note
the number of operations in
the nose and its adjoining
sinuses is becoming fewer every
year. In former
days any little
blockage of the
nose by a bent
septum (partition
between nostrils)
or by an enlarged turbinate
bone was “corrected” by opera
tion. Operations often meant
loss of the lining membrane of
the nose with total or partial
loss of smell and the loss of the
resisting power of the nose in
warding off infections also.
Today, the use of salt and
water or epinephrine or ephe
drine solutions, by shrinking
the lining membrane of the
nose, give the necessary re
lief in a great many cases.
This shrinking of the lining or
mucous membrane also helps
the mucous in the sinuses to drain
out properly.
Nose and throat
specialists state that
if the air can get
into the sinuses, thus
“ventilating” them,
there would be no
accumulation of mu
cous or pus in the
sinuses and thereby
many cases of ca
tarrh and deafness
would be prevented.
The drugs generally
used to shrink the
mucous membrane
Dr. Barton
are epinephrine (adrenalin) and
ephedrine, the Chinese drug.
In order to get the shrinking so
lution into the upper and lower
halves of the sinuses, the method
now coming into general use is to
“lower” the head either well for
ward or to either side. Dr. Sidney
N. Parkinson, Oakland, Calif., in
the Journal of the American Medi
cal Association recommends that
the patient lie on his side with the
head bent downward exactly side
wise, weight being on shoulder.
Shrinkage Methods.
Some shrinkage is first obtained
by the use of ephedrine solution in
an atomizer. This may require five
to ten minutes. The patient is then
placed in the sidewise, head-low po
sition and solution of ephedrine is
placed in both nostrils. After three
to five minutes the head is turned
face downward to permit the solu
tion and any mucous to come away
from the nostrils.
Even when used at home, salt,
epinephrine or ephedrine solutions
by this simple method enable all
the lining membranes to be reached
and Should give excellent results.
The spraying or placing of “drops”
up the nose fails to reach much of
this lining membrane.

Posture and
Abdominal Muscles
OR a number of years I lectured
* to high school teachers (all uni
versity graduates) on health and fit
ness, which information was handed
on to the students whom they would
teach. I tried to point out that if a
boy and girl were taught to sit and
stand correctly—attain proper pos
ture—they would likely keep this in
mind for themselves throughout life
and would likely watch the posture
of their children. An upright car
riage means more room for heart,
lungs, stomach and intestine, thus
providing for those vital needs of
the body—a strong heart and lungs,
good mixing and absorption of food,
and the prevention of constipation.
It is interesting therefore to read
in Hygeia, the health magazine, of
the training of the West Point ca
dets, as recorded by William J. Bau
mer Jr.
Urge for Lifetime Fitness.
“The purpose of the academy’s
athletic life is three-fold. Besides
developing the cadet physically, it
must implant within him the urge
for lifetime fitness and it must teach
him through instruction and prac
tice how to teach others to take
care of themselves physically and
hygienically. Through all his activi
ties he is being constantly reminded
by his superiors, the upper class
men, to double time (very rapid
marching, twice as fast as the ordi
nary ‘quick’ march), or trot every
where, sit up straight in the mess
hall, eat slowly, pull in his chin,
raise his chest, and ‘drag in’ his
stomach.”
It is this “holding” in or “drag
ging” in of the stomach that most
physical directors emphasize in
teaching correct posture. The cadet
learns this his first day and never
forgets it during his lifetime.
It would be worth while for all of
us to stand sideways to a mirror in
our “natural” manner. Then do just
one thing: draw in the stomach and
abdomen. This one simple act
drawing in the stomach or standing
“tall”—will give us the correct pos
ture.

seeds that rhumba orchestras shake
to emphasize the beat of the music,
and tiny wooden castanets that the
dancers manipulate with their hands
as an accompaniment to their steps.
Refreshments, too, can be dis
tinctly Cuban. A dish that has
gained fame among visitors to Cuba
is rice with chicken—“Arroz con pol

The Cuban idea of coffee is small
cups and plenty of them, filled with
little extra brewing to bring out the
rich flavor.
After-Dinner Coffee or Demi-Tasse.
(Extra Strength)
Use heaping tablespoons cof

Frequent Cleaning Is
Protection for Woodwork
Interior woodwork finish will last
longer and look better if subjected
to frequent and thorough cleaning.
It may be kept clean by periodic
removal of surface dust and by pre
venting the formation of grease film.
Woodwork should be washed or
cleaned when dusting is inadequate.
For cleaning varnished or painted
surfaces, solvents that will attack
the covering must be avoided as
well as abrasive preparations.
A good quality of soap will usually
do a satisfactory job. When the
paint is flecked, marred, or discol
ored, it is necessary to resurface
the woodwork.
Refrigerator Tips
Perishable food always should be
placed in the refrigerator as soon
as possible. Raw fruits and vege
tables are best washed first under
running water and the outside of
milk bottles wiped with a damp
cloth. Left-overs should be cooled,
if necessary, and placed in spotless,
tightly-covered containers to keep
odors from escaping and uncon
genial flavors from mixing. Foods
with strong odors, such as cheese,
if put into the refrigerator, should
be kept on a top shelf.
IMPROVED
UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY I
chool Lesson
By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST, D. D.
Dean of The Moody Bible Institute
of Chicago.
(Released by Western Newspaper Union.)
Lesson for December 17
Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se
lected and copyrighted by International
Council of Religious Education: used by

PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM
LESSON TEXT—Matthew 13:3-8, 31-33,
44-46.
GOLDEN TEXT—lncline your ear. and
come unto me: hear, and your soul shall
live.—lsaiah 55:3.
Teaching by parable, a method
so often used by our Lord Jesus
Christ, has many advantages. A
parable (which is a story relat
ing events in common life to teach
or illustrate spiritual truth) is use
ful in stimulating interest and at
tention, in making the truth clear,
in fixing it in the hearer’s mem
ory, and in attracting for further
instruction those who are interest
ed even as it eliminates those who
make no response. Jesus was the
master of this art of teaching. Oth
ers have learned from Him.
The interpretation of the parables
of Jesus has brought forth much
difference of opinion. The impor
tant point to bear in mind is that
the interpretation must be one con
sistent with other scripture, as well
as with our Lord’s own revelation
of its meaning when given. We
have His own interpretation of the
parable of the Sower (Matt. 13:18-
23), but He did not interpret the
other parables of our lesson, leav
ing it for us to carefully seek their
meaning and gladly receive their
instruction.
I. Take Heed How You Hear (vv.
3-8).
This parable is rightly called the
parable of the Sower for our Lord
so named it (v. 18), but as we read
it we see that the lesson it teaches
relates primarily to the four kinds
of hearers of the Word of God.
There are some who hear and
their hearts and minds have so long
been the common road over which
every worldly influence has passed,
that it has become so hard the Word
of God finds no lodgment, but is
quickly carried away by the birds,
which are the “vultures of worldli
ness” and wickedness (see v. 19).
Reader, if your heart is like that,
ask God to break it up. Let us
all shun those hardening influences
which destroy our susceptibility to
God’s Word.
Others there are who hear and
the seed takes root, but the soil is
so shallow that it has only a quick
growth which soon withers. These
are those whose life is largely emo
tional, thrilling to a new experi
ence, but not ready to face trials
and the responsibilities of life (v.
21). As long as the Christian lifa
looks attractive such shallow folk
want to be counted in, but when
they learn that it involves sacri-
Hce, they are gone. Shallow souls,
pray God to give your life depth
and real meaning and worth.
Others hear and receive the truth,
but soon permit the cares of life
to choke and destroy it (see v. 22).
This pictures modern life so aptly
that one could dwell with profit on
the vital lessons here taught.
Thank God, some of the seed
brings forth a rich harvest! There
is encouragement for every teacher
and preacher of the Word of God.
Notice (vv. 8, 23) that if we should
bring forth a hundred-fold it would
be tragic to bear only thirty or sixty.
11. Beware of the Power of Evil
(vv. 31-33).
Just as the mustard plant was
never intended to grow into a tree
in which the birds would dwell, so
Christianity was never intended to
he a nominally Christianized world
empire in which ungodly men, the
dark birds of the evil one (v. 19),
should find comfortable lodgment.
Unfortunately, that is what much of
professing Christianity has be
come. Let those of us who love the
Lord beware that we are not mis
led by it.
The parable of the leaven teaches
the same lesson. Always in the
New Testament leaven stands for
evil (see such passages as Matt.
22:16-21, 23, 29; 23:14, 16; I Cor.
5:6-8; Gal. 5:9). It is any influ
ence that weakens testimony, en
courages hypocrisy, formalism or
worldliness. Who can deny that
this leaven has spread throughout
the Church? The Evil One is pow
erful. Let us beware of his power
and of his leaven.
111. Value Redemption Aright (w.
44-46).
In interpreting this parable we ob
serve that obviously the sinner had
nothing to sell with which to buy
salvation, even if it were to be
bought, which we know it is not
(Eph. 2:8). We do give up some
things to follow Christ, but are they
not the worthless and degrading
things? On the other hand, He
gave us His all, even to the shame
ful death of the cross. This He
did for His own people, Israel, and
what we are even more interested
in, for the Church.
Let us value our redemption
highly. We have been purchased
with the unspeakable price, the
blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Let
us then heed the admonition of the
apostle Paul, “Ye are bought with
a price, therefore glorify God in
your body and in your spirit, which
are God’s” (I Cor. 6:20).
