Let the Truth Prevail I
Your Father 9s Son
BY REV. W. A. MOORE
Pastor First Christian Church.
Years ago your father began a tremendously
Worth-while task.
Believing iv the Bible as the word of the living (lod
and in .Icsus as the Christ, the anointed, the Sun of
God, he made the good confession and gave bis very
life —time, talent and money -to the church for the
extension of the kingdom.
Years have gone; your father has grown old in
Christian service; perhaps he has gone to his reward.
You were a boy; now a man. A generation has al
most passed.
You are dow the MAN of the fainliy; observe your
Wife, children, frit .ids, business—and perhaps a few
gray hairs. We're not as young as we used to be —
nor are our fathers. But is you father's son making
good in the church 1
Your father has in his son a good citizen —plain,
straight-forward, square. YOUR father's son could
hardly be otherwise. But his son must remember
that the highesl type of citizen in this country is
more than plain, straight-forward and square; he is
an out and out Christian—loyal to his God and loyal
to the church.
Many sons are trying to dodge the responsibility
so heartily accepted by their fathers. In this they
are not making good. How about YOUR father's
son?
Your lather's son knew that his city and state to
be great must have the church. Being a loyal man
loyal both to his God and his fellow men —he gave
himself right royally to the support of the church.
One hundred prominent business men of our city
have had fathers who were loyal to God but who._
sons are trying to satisfy themselves with a citizen
ship that leaves out God. The most difficult, and
the most worth while task in your city is that of
making the church go, grow and glow. Your father
did his part. Is his son making good .
_very reason that commanded your father's serv
ice commands yours. His greatest desire was to see
the kingdom of Christ established.
Do not permit his greatest desire to fail. Your
failure in the social circle, in business, in EVERY
THING can not pain him like your failure toward
God. Even death of both father and son is prefer
able to failure here. Give Christ your whole heart.
Keep God in mind. Command that your father's
son make good in the church. Life is short.
TO MAKE SMS CLE AII
Don't worry about skin trou
bles. You can have a clear, clean
complexion by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for
lis, or extra large bottle at
film.
Zemo easily removes all traces
of pimples, black heads, eczemii,
and ringworm and tnukes the nkln
clear and healthy. Zemo is nei
ther watery, sticky nor greasy
and statns nothing. It Is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle
for each application. It is always
dependable.
Zemo, Cleveland.
It's Easy
To
Save
If you will only
adopt a systematic
method of doing It.
How much Isn't
as Important as the
regularity of It.
Don't forget —
"It's what yon save
that you don't have
to work for."

Gasoline and Tires
Solomon in all his glory never got off anything
wiser than this, by Hugh Chalmers, auto builder:
"It is not the man contemplating purchasing a ma
chine who thinks of gasoline so much as it is the
man who has had a car for some time."
Exactly! The would-be purchaser never gives two
little thinks to the gasoline, or the oil, or the grease,
or the tires, or the tubes, or any other of the details.
He just stands there looking at the beautiful
glossy machine, with itw power to go 29 miles on a
gallon of gas, and quail of oil aud its tires guaran
teen to use up 19,542 miles of road, and thinks and
thinks about flying In comfort across the scenery,
his family nicely tucked in upon the upholstered
seats and the neighbors chrome yellow with envy.
Verily, it is the man who has had a car for some
time who thinks of gasoline, etc., etc., etc., and his
thinker is well greased by expel _ence.
It's Got a Move On at Last
Whoop for Ihe federal trade commission! It haa at Immt found

Tlie field of reform that's open to the federal trade commis

Less than sixty days after the first cloud —the as

were at war.
WAX clouds, more ominous than those of Europe in

for many months.
The people are demanding actual and active pre
paredness, preparedness of the war craft Aye now

of the future, and that at once or sooner.

Dear Miss Grey: In reply to inaulry of O. H. M. re school
of salesmanship, there la a class at Stadium High evening school
, Monday, Wedneadaf and Friday evenings, which la attended by
both ladles and gentlemen. J. J. h
Q. —Will you please tell me how to remove old varnish
from furniture? A. J. A.
A.— A firm of English manufacturers have discovered that cer
tain vegetable fatty adds liave the pi-o|>< . t> of softening and remov
ing hardened paints and varnish, reports the "Chemist anil Drug
gist,'* and thai Uiis property is greatly Increased In co-operation with
the solvent proi>ertles of already well-known solvents. It Is mixed
in various ways: .rachie acid, 18 pn|-ls; benzine, lii parts; methyl
alcohol, 40 parts. Mix and apply to the varnished surface and wipe
off with a soft cloth as varnish dissolves.
Q. —We are two girls, 17 years of age, and have to make
our own way in the world. As we have no one else to ask, we
would like you to give us your opinion on the following: Wa
live in a two-room apartment and we should like to know
whether or not it Is proper for us to entertain our boy friends
In the kitchen or In our other room which is used as a dining
room and bedroom both?
Anxiously waiting. BILLIE AND PEGQIE.
A.—Entertain them in the living room. It is your home, aud
boys of the right sort will take no exception to it.
Q. —What is the meaning of "riders" when used in a leg
islative sense? C. V.
A.—Kldera ln national or state legislation are the additional
provisions of a bill under the consideration of a legislative assembly,
having little connection with the subject-matter of the bill. Home
time, rider, are attached to Important bills, In order to gain the
ih_.ni-.- of passage, since by themselves they are likely to Incur an
executive veto, but aa a part of proviso of an Important bill they arc
absorbed in the main subject, and so dodge tlie "veto" and the
"table.'» It has been proi-osed frequently that the t-oiiMtltution of
the I'nited States be so amended that the in-eslileiit could veto single
objectionable items, without affecting the main purpose of hills. . .
Miss Grey maintains office hours each Wednes
day from 11 a. m. to 4p. m.' when she is pleased to
meet any Times reader. On other days she replies
to questions only by mail or through her column.
CONFESSIONS
OF A WIFE
THE WAIL OF A
PAIN-KAOKUD BODY
I stopped reading Mary's letter
right where ahe said she was
afraid, for Dick came for his daily
visit to tne.
He bent over my bed and kiss
ed my cheek lightly and said,
Will, my dear, I have at laat
got things straightened out at
the book concern, and, Margie, we
are almost rich."
"But you do feel well, don't
you Dick?" I said somewhat ap
prehensively, for he looked very
worn and tired.
"Yea, 1 am feeling very well.
What I meant was that by t in.
terms of the will, you know, it
will take me about ten years to
get this thing straightened out
so that if anything happened to
me you would be perfectly Inde
pendent, and I want to live at
least that long.
"How are you feeling, Margie?
How Is the leg."
"I gueas It Is all right, Dick,
but 1 feel terribly to be a stick
lying here while you are working
so hard. I am not even a good
chum, let alone a wife."
"We won't discus* that, my
dear," satd Dick Quietly. "All
you have got to think about ia
about keeping your courage and
gettiiig well."
"Would It be a terrible thing
if I did not get well?"
'Margie, why do you like to
torture yourself and me?"
"I don't know, Dick, but truly
J would much rather die now than
be bed-ridden for a long time.
When do you think I can go
home?"
"I don't know that, Margie;
you must be patient."
"Do you want me home,
Dick?"
Dick waa silent for a moment,
and then he aaid, "1 am not stay
ing there."
"I was so astonished that I
gave my bad leg a terrible wrench
and nearly fainted.
"I am staying with Jim, Mar
gie; I simply could not stay at
home without you."
"Then you do love me, Dick?"
"You dear woman, can't I ever
again make you believe that I
only love you, that I have never
loved anyone but you, and never
will love anyone but you? All
my foolishness haa nothing to do
with loving. Such things have
nothing to do with any man's
loving."
I looked at Dick closely. "Then
you think that no married man
loves the other woman with
whom he has a llason?"
"I would not say that, for
some men don't love their wives.
It is sometimes the wife and
sometimes the other woman a
man loves, but whichever it is he
will keep her in his heart al
ways."
"And you lovo_mo, Dick?"
"Always, dear heart. So much
that I have not ceased cursing
myself that I have made you
suffer." He took me up in fats
arms and kissed me. but It was
not with the old fervor. I was
not sure that he waa afraid to
show me or if his ardor had
burned Itself out. I wish I knew,
little book; I wish I knew.
1 let Dick leave me with a
weary good night, and I tried to
aleep, but all the while I kept
thinking of a poem I read the
other day in a newspaper.
Life you have bruised me and
chilled me; Fate, you have
jeered at my pain;
Dreams, you have mocked while
you thrilled me—so I turn to
the battle again.
Love, you have blessed me and led
me; the lips that have kissed
you, you smite;
Hope, you have urged me and fled
me—but left Is the joy of the
. fight!
Never was I a coward! Now must
I prove my worth.
World, I will give you my cour
age; not tears, but a hard
bought mirth.
Work of my hands I grant you,
labor and toll of brain,
But heart and boul shall be want
ing—for they are dead of
pain!
Forward! A fight to the death,
then! Life Is a aorry jest.
Ahead! To the thick of tumult!
Fate Is a fool at the best.
Courage! The war gods are great
est! Love la a false, fair
light.
To arms! For Dreams are frail
bubbles, and Hope but a song
ln the night.
World, I cast down the gauntlet,
for you were made to defy!
Own me a foe your mettle! Ah,
fighting let me die!
Love, Hope and Dreams I give
you; Life I fling at your
feet;
I wiU drink to the dregs of the
bitter—Jor once I had tasted
of sweet!
Of one last taunt I shall rob you;
stern, I will claim my due;
One recompense you shall give
me, balm I will snatch from
you.
"TU neither Fame nor Glory—toys
to break and regret;
I demand to conquer Memory!
I demand that I—Forget,
