WEEKLY SHORT SERMON By Dr. A. G. Bearer (For the Literary Service Bureau) — (Barnabas—Son of Consolation) Text: And Joses, who by the apos tles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is being in'erpreted, the son of conso lation.) .Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.—Acts 4:36,37 This man was named Joses, perhaps Jesus. When he became a Christian and an apostle his fellow workers named him Barnabas, “Son of Conso lation”. So every man should be: 1. To His Parents.—Parents make sacrifices. They suffer much. They endure many hardships but right I.ving and worth while accomplish ments by their children give them con solation. In this every son may and should be a son of consolation. 2. To the World in General. Bar nabas was a Christ an, a minister, a worker for others. Gentle in manners, magnetic in appearance, tender in sympath •, he was preeminently qual ified to comfort and console those who were unfortunate and dis ressed. 3. A Fitting Example. In Barna bas, the obedient son and Chr stian worker, there is an illustration of pos sibilities for good. And there is an example to inspire and guide all sons and aspire them to major in the work of giving consolation to others. HELD FOR INVESTIGATION IN MULDER CASE.

Cr.re Of the Hands and Arms. Too little attention is given to the care of the hands. Constan ly exposed to dust and dirt, subjected to the ac tion of all kinds of soap, dipped first in hot water and then in cold, and cleansed many times during the da'’, thus losing much of the natural oil, it is lit l i wonder that the hands show signs of wear and age long before the face docs. Indeed even in ycung women, the hands often look old because of lack of attention. Manicuring in i s unre stricted sense means the care of the hands and nails, and not, as is gener ally interpreted, of the na Is, exclus ive! •. Manicuring, therefore, takes in, besides the care of the finger na Is, such ‘rcatments as massage of the hands, care of chapped hands, nail di seases, etc. The care of the nails is, by no means e. modern art. The type of external care of the na Is, appealing most to the ancients, particularly the Orient als, was in the form cf tinting or staining the outer surfaces of the nails with coloring matter of various hues, such as purple, red, giR, etc. In jection of d. es into the nail matrix, itself, was also common practice among the Orientals. The length of the finger na Is denoted caste. Always wash the hands in water of medium tempera! ure. Never too hot or too cold, using a soap as nearly neutral in reaction as possible. So be sure that the soap is barely alkaline. Never allow damp hands to be ex posed to the wind. After the cleans ing process, the hands should be well rinsed and at once a good hand jelly applied and rubbed in until dry.

D nr . I HE Wheeler Rayburn bill in Congress, which destroys the entire public utility industry of this country, has been presented to the American public under false colors. Its supporters call it a “holding company bill.” Nothing could be more misleading. Strikes at Operating ^ The can not fajriy Companies be called a holding com pany measure because it attacks operating companies such as the Nebraska Power Company and the Citizens Power & Light Com pany as well as holding companies. Under the bill's provisions, operating companies are tr be immediately put under the control of a Federal com mission m Washington. D. C.. for regulation and management Holding companies are to be destroyed after five years, unless specially permitted to exist. More Government . Then why ., thc M, in Business termed a “holding com pany bill?" Probably be cause its supporters wish to trade er. the political propaganda which has given holding companies an unfavor able name Possibly also because some of the bill’s supporters wish to center public attention on the holding com pany features of the bill, and avoid bringing the drastic operating com pany provisions into the limelight. In either case it is a device of politics. The truth about che Wheeler-Ray burn public utility act is that it aim* to put the whole industry in politics. It is an attempt to set a precedent that would make it moral and reason able for Congress to outlaw any legitimate business it chose. Let Omaha • The people of Omaha 5 t Qwn do not want Washington dictating their electric tectnc rates. The investors of Kates Omaha do not want such a precedent of business destruction. And America, we fee! sure, does not want to take this step toward Socialism Let’s call a spade a spade. The bill is Socialistic and destructive. Omaha, and all of America, should have none of it! i
