L .A. Story. D. D Man's chief business is not making a living, but making a life. Making a living Is Incidental; making a life is the supreme thing. The greatest contribution one can make to the world is a great life. In making a great life here are three things in the text which I wish to call to your at tention. First, David served. We are here to serve. We are not here to Play. We are not here merely to achieve intellectual brilliance, or wealth, or social station. Yet these are necessary and worth their gaining. But if we would fulfill the purpose of our being, we must make ourselves useful. Whatever we choose as our trade, or pro fession, or business, we should keep always in mind as our su preme objective the purpose to serve and do good in the world. To this end. all the lesser ends we may seek should be subordin ated. Any other program of life is unworthy of a true man. In the second place if we are to make a life great, we must serve our o*n generation as David did If we would be of the largest pos sible use to the world, we must learn and know our own genera tion. and seek to suit our program of service to its needs and condi tion- He who understands every time but his own can do little good for the present world, or his own generation. The man who accom plishes the most, is the man who understands his own times and makes the best use of the means at hand for serving his own day and generation. The past is not ours except as a heritage. The future is ours only as we project ourselves into it by what We are and do now. In the third place, David In or der to make a great life, served by the will of God. If we would serve well and wisely, we should seek to please God, not to please ourselveB or to be men pleasers. The deepest, highest, most spiri tual tuna "tie's life is his mo tive. One’s motive colors, every thing he does. The Quality and effectiveness of man’s work are determine*! by his motive The men who have rendered ihe greatest service to the world, have been men who were impelled by the motive to do God’s will.

KUEINSCHMILT, M.I). DIRECTIR. HEALTH EDUCA TION NATIONAL TUItERCUL iOSIS ASSOCIATION The Parkers had just received a telegram from their grandson at college telling them that he was coming to visit them for the week end. riving to the station whil© his wife remained at home to fry th echicken and bake a couple of her wonderful apple Pies. Grand father Parker reflected on the marvel of the telegraph. When he was a college boy. one sent a letter—not a telegram—and al lowed at least two days for the leter to reach its destination be fore he boarded a train. If a sudden journey like Henry’s had been undertaken, he would have run the risk of arriving without being met and perhaps frightening the folks half to death. Now a days, a fellow sends a wire at the time of departure with the full assurance that the message will arrive before the the Passenger. Just a« marvelous, and even more significant to you ami to me, are the newer discoveries in medicine that makes it possible for the doctor to foresee certain events. Some diseases swoop down upon us without Warning Many of them approach at a slow er pace and can be halted before serious damage is done. For in stance. certain forma of cancer be gin as Innocent looking sores. If promptly treated, serious cancer can be prevented. Tuberculosis is one of the dis ease swhlch may be on the way long before it actually arrives iij the form of disabling disease Every sensible person today knowH that tuberculoBls ia curable if discovered in its early stages. We know, too, that the longer the delay from the timie of the ap pearance of the first symptom to the time of diagnosis, the greater cure. One study showed that will be the time required for a when this delay was no more than 3 months, the average loss 0f time from work while taking the cure was about 9 months. But, if the delap had extended for a year or nrore, the loss of time from work avedaged 18 months. In other words, the longer we wait before going to th edoctor for a diagnosis, the longer it will take to get well. Yet that is but half the story. The longer the delay, the further will the disease have progressed. Early tuberculosis usually gets well promptly. Tuberculosis in its late stages may mean long years of disability, if iot death. And it has been impressed upon and loss of weight are danger signals. It is always best to let capped people will be given help, all of us that symptoms such as tiredness, cough that hangs on your doctor decide whether these signs are beiiiK caused by tuber culosis. , is mere a way or predicting tu berculosis? We used to speak of the “pret-tuberculous” state, bas ed on the assumption that one could tell by the general appear ance of a person whether or not he wouU fall victim to tubercul osis. Certain anatomical types, such as flat-fchested, lean individuals were supposed to be favored can didates for the ‘‘White Plague.” We thought that children who were pale and underweight were headed for the tragedy of tuber culosis. Today we know that such signs are wholly unreliable Too often we are shocked to find tuberculosis developing in peo ple who are the very picture of health and vitality. Tuberculosis may lie dormant for weeks and then suddenly break forth. It is a heart-breaking ex perience, especially when that happens, as it most frequently does, to a Young person on the t.hreshhold of life. By trat time the situation is serious. If he neg lects the warning, such a patient has ahead of him a long period of treatment in bed and perhaps years of inactivity with all the frustration that may mean to an ambitious youngster. How can we meet so sinister a threat? I am glad to say that we actually can intercept it. We are able, so to speak, to know that the disease is ‘‘on the train,’’ as if we had been telegraphed ahead. And we can, in most instances, stop Its further travel. The modern instrument that HELP WHILE YOU CLEAN HOUSE CLEANING TIME MAKE JOBS FOR THE NEEDY Are you evert perplexed to know what to do with articles that show up at the time of housecleaning, which are of no value to you. Mr. Graham- Supt. of Goodwill Indus tries, says that they can use al most anything that people have around their homes, except cans and ashes, in creating jobs for handicapped people. Thus, you will be glad to know that the Goodwill Industries will send a truck to your home and haul away the things that have accumulated a9 a result of your housecleaning, and that thereby needy and handi capped people will be given help. Their telephone number is AT 4609. I helps us most is the X ray, a point which lg being emphasized by tuberculosis associatiosn thro ughout the country in their Early Diagnosis Campaign. Of course, it takes a trained eye and mind to read the X-ray film correctly. In the last few years, the mechanics of X-ray have been so improved and our knowledge of early tuber rulosis has been so sharpened that we are now able to discover and meet tuberculosis before it actual ly starts to disable. , But what good is all this know ledge to us ? People are not in the habit of coming to the doctor un less they feel ill. Imagine a young man on the football team some day rushing into the doctor’s of fice and asking for an x-ray exam lnation of his chest! Youth does not worry much about health. Yes boys and girls in their ’teens are highly Idealistic, but they are so busy during this budding stage of life exploring this interesting world that they seldom give a thought to health unless they act ually feel sick. You may nave a son or daugn ter in the dangerous age period. If the methods of detecting sym tomless tuberculosis are practical in colleges and certain industries why not in your own family? Have your childrei had the tuber culin test lately? If is is positive, your doctor may recommend an x-ray film. If he does, do not be aiarmed—and do not be neglected either—treat your boy or girl to an x ray examination and enjoy that fine assurance that comes from knowing all is well. Be ready to meet tuberculosis before It ar rives. URBAN MOODS By Raymond R. Brown (Continued from page 1)““ boo. But there is no better source for this information than from mother and father.

Walker’s preparations exclusively be cause I get results from them that I am unable to get from any other preparation," stated a well known business woman the other day. The secret of the remarkable success of Mme. C. J. Walker’s preparations is in the fact that they were blended by the late Madam C. J. Walker to reach certain definite conditions of the hair, skin and scalp, and today, after over thirty-five years on the market, they are growing increasingly popular, and not withstanding the fact that the Company has always refused to reduce the price on these goods, they are still in demand every where. ( • Mme. C. J. Walker’s Glossine. although more than thirty-five years on the market, is still the leader in its field. The reason for this is because it not only serves as a scalp oil, but it gives the hair that silky sheen and natural gloss that is the delight of every woman. Mme. C. J. Walker’s Brown Face Powder is not just another Face Powder, but is the result of years of experimenting to pro duce the perfect blend to impart a velvetlike softness and at the same time cooling and refresh ing. Just the thing for these hot days. The Mme. C. J. Walker’s won derful preparations are sold by Walker Beauticians and Drug Stores everywhere, or you can write The Mme. C. J. Walker Mfg.
