There is health and strength in it.'" Get all of it you ran into vour systems, into your blood and into your thoughts. It will do you good, and when you have been so saturated you will be able to do your fellow men and your communities and even your coun try more good. We are in need of more men and women of health, not merely of body but of mind, especially 'of mind. The world war and other things have slightly deranged the mental machinery of a great many, both men1 and women but the men worst of all. They are thinking wildly, loosely, extravangantly and they are no longer able to apply themselves to the ordinary things of this life, which must' still continue to make up the chief activities of i the world. Everyone is figuring on a short cut across lefts, so far as work is concerned and over the houses, so far as riches are concern ed. The average man thinks he has the worst of it and he envies his neighbor, or the man far away. It'a an old affliction, the burden was laid on Adam and Eve when they were told that they must live in the sweat of their faces. Hut. get out into the sunshine, let it soak in and saturate you and re new you. It is tho balm of Gilead and it is what Bonce de Leon sought for in vain. "When you havo beer, baptized in the autumn suns you will feel a great deal better through all of the winter. We cannot ad vise you too strongly to go hunting where there is nothing to hunt and fishing and nutting and gather ing plums, if there are any left in the wild woods, or just to loaf and to invite your soul to the feasts of better things which God and na ure have spread over the land.

How many men and women ought to polish their own shoes: clean their own hats; how many men ought to get into the pipe habit and out of the cigar habit; how many housewives ought to make theic own ice cream; make their own candy? "We are growing more and more indifferent to trifles. The nickels we used to save are being tossed with a penny for tax into a thous and crevices that didn't exist a few years ago. In short, we are losing sight of the sagest of sayings: A penny saved is a penny earned. 'Chicago Tribune. :of TAKE THE MONEY. BRETHREN. It would be trite to say that much of the increased cost of living is due to the increasing number of con veniences daily thrust before us and which our ready acceptances of ef fort saving devices bids us employ. What has become of the old fashioned package of lunch? Not one loop worker in a thousand car ries that homely litle package .be cause it is so easy to be served in a restaurant. Pride is costing us money. We are too metropolitan, too intolerant of homely fashions. The girls from the offices and stores complain about the prices of food in the restaurant, but they would be horrified at, the suggestion that they bring with them each morning a lunch box filled with a quality iru- possible to get at any price down town. This is not advice for those who must lunch downtown. It merely is a suggestion for those who need not. Chicago is full of restaurants, all serving food at top speed. Fewer lunches means more food at a less price. The dwindling supply of 7 Can be hadlin amounts of $100 PAUL FITZOER&LD. Investment Securities First National Bank Bid's, j Omaha, Neb. ' Many ministers throughout the country are still "chewing the rag" about the churches and colleges ac cepting old John Rockefeller's "'tainted money." It is all right to roast old John. brethren he needs it, now and maybe in the hereafter but take the money. Tak all you can get and then ask for more! It is sur prising how fast the taint wears off of money when once you get hold of it yourself. And as far as that is concerned, there is no money that i. not more or less tainted. The only place on earth where money is with out taint of any kind is in a gold mine or at the mint. Where do th croakers who back away at si;;ht of Rockefeller's money suppose the dol- lars have been before they finally land in their contribution boxe? Thev have been on mighty bad old jamborees long before they pot into the sanctuary. The devil j bought souls with them! They were paid out and received in exchange fr rum; on the throw of the dice or turn of the roulette wheel; they purchased men's honor and wo men's virtue; they caused perjury. corrupted legislators, polluted courts and committed bi"-my, arson and murder! A dollar some blear-eyed bartender or dopey prostitute pays for rent to the deacon, who drops it into the mission fund to ease his frazzled conscience, is as badly tainted as any of old John's millions and no matter how much harm has been done with money on its wan derings around among the laity it can do just as much good when it gets into good hands and is expend ed in a good way. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, brethren take the money! And if you use it in a righteous cause the taint will soon wear off. 'Sheppard, a democrat, is the author j of this proposal. Tho whole trend and tenor of re publican legislation in the past has been In favor of special private in terests which wanted immunities and subsidies and privileges at the expense of the masses. There is no better illustration of the spirit and purpose of democratic law-making than that manifested in this roads legislation, which brought benefits to every section and class of the country. :o: ARE WE SUCKERS WE ARE!

It was democratic legislation that brought to fulfillment the na tional demand for good roads. The success of that legislation in realiz ing the wishes of the country is ex emplified by statistics covering the period from 1913, the beginning of President Wilson's first term, to Sep tember 1, 1919. In the six years there were constructed more than 15,000 miles of almost perfect high ways. But for the assistance given by the federal government, the several states would have ben unable or unwilling to bear the whole cost of these improvements. But for demo cratic laws no federal aid would have been forthcoming. The gov ernment is now matching with funds from the federal treasury ev ery dollar that any of the states de votes to the building- of its roads. In addition to the millions that have been voted for this purpose .by demo cratic congresses, it is proposed to appropriate $400,000,000 to con tinue the work after 1921.

The Loyal Workers of the Chris tian church held their regular meet ing yesterday afternoon and were very pleasantly enterained at the homo of Mrs. Jessie Cahoon in the south part of the city. The usual business session was held, after which the ladies devoted the fleet ing afternoon hours to various amusements, which made this meet ing most enjoyable to the large number in attendance. At a suit able hour the hostess served delic ious refreshments to which all did ample justice. About the hour of five, the ladies bade their hoste-s adieu and wended their way home ward, declaring her to be a most ex cellent entertainer.
