HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE-
FEWHAVESO
MUCH TO DO
Demands Upon Him Have
Multiplied Since the
Simpler Days!
If you are walking alone the
treet one of these bright fall
mornings and meet the pastor of
your church; if you smile and nod
to him and watch him pass you
without a sign of recognition on his
face, don't think he . is trying to
snub you and go home to tell your
wife that he is either very high and
mighty, or else he has a poor mem
ory. For if your preacher is one
of those who try to answer every
call made on him, the chances are
he is making most of the opportun
ity to compose what he is going to
say to you from the pulpit Sunday
morning.
The days are past, minsiters say,
when a preacher's mornings were
supposed to be sacred to him, when
he used to go into his study after
breakfast and read Shakespeare and
Homer and Dante and Bacon until
he was mentally full of things to
pour out again before his congrega
tion. In the older days he used,
perhaps, to call all during the pleas
ant afternoon, drinking innumerable
cups of tea and sampling all the
best cakes made in the parish.
Nowadays our minister's tele
phone rings at 6 o'clock of a
cold, gray Monday morning; some
one needs his advice, sympathy or
aid, and he gets out to hustle for
the rest of the week. If he keeps
his hours for study, it is by means
of ironclad rules laid down for the
rest of the family to observe in the
matter of callers and, telephone
calls. "By that plan I invariably
see all the people in the end," said
one minister, who has served many
years and is beloved of many peo-
The minister of today is a
preacher, a parson, as always, but
fie is also a great deal more. "He
is the head of an institution just as
much as the chief executive of a
great industry," said one minister
who has the "downtown" problem
to cope with, "and the institution
must adapt itself to the needs of its
surrounding community." Con
certs, men's luncheons, rest rooms,
Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, missionary
societies and private theatricals,
in all of these the minister must
take and active interest and know
something of what is going on or be
branded behind the times.
Do All Sorts of Things.
Then there is the ever pressing
side of church life, the economic
side. The morning after a trustees'
meeting the minister is apt to be a
bit irritable with his secretary the
most businesslike men have secre
taries these days and dismiss her
rather abruptly when she implores
him to sign this or that. Although
every church has a treausur who is
supposed to keep the financial affairs
of the organization in trim, every
real live minister is very much in
terested and often devotes much
time to the money problems of his
church.
As to his own financial problems.
"It isn't the minister, it's his wife,"

ESPECIALLY those frequently
attacked by rheumatic twinges.
A counter-irritant, Sloan's Lini
ment, scatters the congestion and
penetrates without rubbing to the
afflicted part, soon relieving the
ache and pain.
Kept handy and used everywhere
for reducing and finally eliminating
the pains and aches of lumbago,
neuralgia, muscle strain, joint stiff
ness, sprains, bruises, the result of
exposure to weather.
Sloan's Liniment is sold by all
druggists, 35c, 70c, $1.40.
Why Druggists
Recommend
Swamp-Root
For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medU
cine.
It is a physician's prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi
cine. It helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years.
It is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer A Co., Binghamton. N. Y., for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure
and mention the Omaha Sunday Bee.
Adler-i-ka

ach and constipation for years. Took
Adler-i-ka three weeks and have

Adler-i-ka flushes iJUlti upper

ferring to the proverbial small sal
ary which keeps the parsonage com
fortable and happy. But, however
he travels, whether by, machine or
on foot, he is still serving God and
doing His works in the spirit of the
old-fashioned dominie.. "Oh, well,
ministers don't have to smoke and
pay club dues and eat lobsters and
mushrooms," says the layman who
has an assured position in society.
"That may be," replies the minister,
"but don't forget the old saying,

The minister's salary varies as
widely as does the archititecture of
the church in which he preaches.
From $900 to $1,200 is the range.
To some is added the rent of a par
sonage, but not in most cases. The
average salary of a minister is a lit
tle over $2,000, although some are
receiving $5,000, and a very few in
the country get salaries mounting
into six figures.
A minister's salary is proportion
ate to the means of his parishioners,
of course, and not to his ability.
Thus the choice of a college for the
minister's son may depend on
'whether one or two wealthy men
in the vicinity of his church decide
to be Baptists or Congregationalists
cr Methodists. .But there are com
pensations. From the time of the ,
Puntons it has been customary to
bring the parson gifts of apprecia
tion and of late the "gitts" have
sometimes come on four wheels.
bringing with them the odor of
gasoline. Many ministers ' drive
automobiles presented to them by
their parishoners.
Sometimes a rhinister finds that
he can be of more real help to people
who never go to church at all than
to the more comfortable and
sheltered members of his own par
ish. A minister is not so very much
surprised to be called at 6:30 in Jhe
morning to go and baptize a dying
child of parents who have never set
foot inside of a church, out ne is
mildlv astonished, oerhaos to receive
a request from some man in a dis
tant city to hunt up and write him
information concerning another man
whom the pastor has never seen.
Then there is the weight of private
troubles which the pastor must
carry. "Lots of people whom I
meet on the street would be shocked
if they knew what I know about
them, people who have no idea who
I am," said one minister the other
day. One of the hardest things a
minister has to face is the load of
secret troubles which he is helping
many people to bear. Yet the ma
jority of ministers welcome this al
truistic suffering as one of the rich
est opportunities which. their min
istry brings them.
funerals are perhaps the greatest
connecting link of suffering between
the pastor and his people, tew
manly, sympathetic pastors there are
who do not feel exhausted and men
tally depleted after conducting a fun
era! service. From being at many
tunerals ministers come to notice
the difference in the attitude of
those who attend, and one of the
most trying things a minister has
to face is a room full of people at
tending the funeral of a man who
died by his own hand. In this sort
of service also, the minister again
is called upon by many outside his
own followers. One minister in
the city has been called upon often
to officiate at the funerals of oeople
whom he met while away from
home or traveling, railroad men in
particular, and has helped to bury
two conductors of late.
. Weddings Are a Relief.
Weddings are not so much of a
strain on the minister, particularly
since church weddings went out of
style; they are rather happy and
sometimes amusing occasions, par
ticularly when the financial arrange
ments go astray, as thev did at a
wedding in one parsonage not long
ago. At the close of the ceremony
the minister received from the happy
Driaegroom a sealed envelope which
he laid away to be opened later.
When he did get around to open
it he found it empty, and talking
over the happy occasion with the
bride a week later he happened to
mention the emptyness of the enve
lope. The woman jumped to her
feet. "My land, what do you sup
pose he did with that $2 bill I gave
him to put in it?" she gasped. The
minister is still supposing.
, The minister of today likes poli
tics as well as poets, and often bet
ter. Your preacher in a friendly
conversation with you is much
more apt to quote Wilson than
Isaiah, and and like as not he has
just written to the United States!
senator for an explanation of some I
statement which that gentleman re- !
cently made. One matter in which
minister's disagree widely it the
matter of book agents, who arc
such frequent callers. Some minis
ters like to lit and talk to book
agents, because they always can
learn something new, but some say
they can waste the time to hear the
old story so often repeated
After all, the greatest gulf be
tween the minister and the people,
black or white, rich or poor, young
or old, who live around him, is the
gulf of misunderstanding. In the
words of one minister, "Even the
gods are perplexed by stupidity:"
There are the people' who say, "Oh,
no, I'm not good enough to be a
church member," and consider that
the parson and his flock set them
selves ud to be better, and they are
the people who never understand the
real obligations oi cnurcn memDer
ship, the "drifters," who try all the
ministers and never decide which
one they want to settle down with.
But our ministers walk among us,

evervdav men like the rest of us.

our sorrows and to learn from us
as we may learn from them, in the

Bear Oil Grows Hair
One of the potential ingredients of Ko
talko for the hair is genuine bear oil,
procured through hunters at a large cost.
There are other active ingredient not
found in any other hair preparation. Ko
talko is an ointment. It has succeeded in
many cases of baldness, falling hair and
dandruff when every other hair lotion or
treatment has proved futile. A $300 guar
antee is offered to Kotalka users.
Why become or remain bald if yon ean

scrowth through Kotalka, why not you? Get
a box at any busy drug store: or send 10

At All, a Never Failing Way

that will produce the results. By mix-
me contents oi a two-ounce pacxage jp v
of eptol in a half pint of water you
obtain the satiny cream necessary. By
liberal use of this you will find that
the skin will become more refined in
texture, and crow's-feet and wrinkles,
large and small, will very quickly begin
to disappear. The eptol can be oh
tained at any drug store for fifty
cents. You will be grateful that you
learned of this remarkable opportunity.
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.
MRS. C. N. D. When you apply to the
hair any substance which will actually
force the hair roots to grow and to atop
hair falling, you very soon can notice the
tremendous difference in its increased
length and vigor. The hair root developer
given here acts the tame way. It has
been demonstrated to have a very remark
able effect in forcing hair to grow luxur
iantly and to fill bald spots quickly. With
a half-pint of water and half a pint of
bay rum mix the contents of a one-ounc
package of beta-piinol, which can be ob
tained for fifty cents. If preferred you
can use a full pint of witch hazel instead
of the water and bay rum.
MISS AWFUL The use of tonics and
steaming the face are of little value for
removing blackheads. The way to get rid
of them in a few minutes is this: Get some
neroxin for about fifty cents at the drug
store, sprinkle some on a wet cloth and rub
the blackheads with it. You will be as
tonished to see them almost entirely gone.
MISS D. O. Ct Soap ean not be ex
pected to remove the filmy accumulations
which affect the vigor of the hair." Eggol,
however, will remove these accumulations
by dissolving them away. Try a teaspoon
ful of eggol in half a cup of water as a
head-wash. It is glorious. A twenty-five
cent package of eggol contains enough for
over a dozen shampoos.

SALLOW A very beautiful com plexion
can be obtained in very quick lime by the
use of a very rich cream which you thould
make yourself. It can be done In a few
moments: From your druggist get a cne
ounce package of zintone and mix contents
with two tablespoonfuls of glycerin in a
pint of water. In a very few days you
will see the difference in your complexion,
and you will lay aside many of the things
you have been using heretofore tn order
to produce the same result. For fifty cents
you can obtain the sintont from your
druggist.

MISS ROSE It Is Just as easy te re
move superfluous hairs perfectly and
without any trouble whatever as using
your face lotion. Moisten the hairs with
a little sulfo solution. This dissolves the

nervous to the point of exhaustion. If
you ean tell me something to help me I
shall be very grateful."

fective as a thorough course of three grain
Hypo-Nuclane Tablets. These tablets will
aid in extracting the nutrition from the
food which will increase the red blood sup
ply, overcome nervousness and you will
beaome plump and healthy. This treatment

"Sarah" says: "Can anything be done
for one who is bothered with rheuma
tism. If so, please reply." ,
Answer: You can be relieved of your
rheumatism if you take the following:
Mix by shaking well and take a tea
spoenful at meal times and at bed time:
Comp. essence of cardiol, 1 oz. ; romp,
fluid balmwort, 1 ox.; syrop sarsaparilla
comp., 6 ozs. ; wine of colchicum, one
half oz. ; sodium salicylate, 4 drams; iodide
of potassium, 2 drams.
"Ray" writes: "Can a sufferer from
bronchial trouble be relieved? Doctors
do not seem to help me, what would you
suggest?"
Answer: To cure chronic cold, sore
throat and bronchitis, I would advice
the use of concentrated essence Mentho
Laxene. Purchase this at any drug store
in 2H ot. packages and mix according to
directions given on bottle and you will
very shortly be relieved. This will not
only relieve, but will correct, and is very
pleasant to take.
'Uneasy" writes: "I am uneasy about
my health. My kidneys and bladder are
not well. Have spells of depression, d
not sleep well, have to arise frequently.
Urine bad odor and color, very scant
sometimes. My ankles puff and under
my eyes I have 'bags.' Please preserib."

curative.
"Melville R." writes: "Should a man of
forty-six find himself utterly incapaci
tated ? Am weak, nervous, timid, self,
conscious. Do not sleep well. Arise with
a tired feeling, lame back and often 1mw
severe headache in the baek part of Bee.
Fickle appetite, but when I do eat,, do not
get strength."
Answer: To us a common expression,
"you have exceeded the speed limit" and
your nervous system needs the aid of an
invigorating tonic medicine. Get a tube of
three grain Cadomene Tablets. Take as .
per directions and continue treatment sev
eral months if necessary.
"Onda" writes: "I am troubled with
itching scalp, dandruff and my hair is
falling out. It is harsh and brittle."
Answer: Plain Yellow Minyol is the
best remedy for itching scalp, falling hair
and dandruff that I know of. It ean be
bought in 4 ox. jars and if used according
to directions will overcome diseases of the
hair and scalp. If the hair is harsh aad
brittle and you are bothered with those
straggling locks, the use of Minyol will
restore that soft, fluffy appearance aad
bring back the intense natural color.
