JEREMIAH
IT IS a terrible handicap to the
memory of a man when a de
scriptive phrase or adjective attach
es to his name, for people feel
that thev are there
by relieved from
learning anything
more about him.
Thus "the patience
of Job" has effec
tually cloaked the
real significance ofj
that heroic figure;
"as meek as Moses",
has distorted the
i grandeur of one of
the really great
( leaders of history,
and the adjective
Brace Barton
"doubting Thomas
has libeled the brave soul who
cried, "Let us also go up with
Him that we may die with Him."
Similarly, Jeremiah has been label
ed the "weeping prophet" and,
though there is hardly any Old
Testament character about whom
we have more biographical material,
this totally unworthy phrase con
stitutes his entire biography for a
majority of people.
He did weep, and good cause he
had to do it. God laid on him a
tremendous burden, and once when
he cried out because he was carry
ing every bit that he possibly could
God's answer to him was, "Cheer
up, Jeremiah, the worst is yet to
.come," or, in the fine phraseology:
If thou hast run with the
footmen, and they have wearied
thee, then how canst thou con
tend with horses? and if in the

THE RADIO AND THE SICK
ROOM
UNFORTUNATELY there comes
a time when the patient is a
"shut-in;" it is just possible that
the chances of recovery are about
1 to 1,000; so the personnel of the
sick room concerns the patient very
deeply. It is quite possible that a
nurse may be in attendance.
The radio is everywhere. Sets
are small and will occupy very lit
tle space; a good radio program
will do the patient much more good
mentally than a boresome visitor.
The only difficulty will be in se
lecting programs that are soothing
and interesting to the patient.
If the patient is fond of music
be careful to tune in for real mus
ic; such as he will enjoy hearing.
By no .means should he Have the
crazy variety fo jazz; conversely, I
would not select for him such mus
ical programs as songs of death,
SEEK OLD TREASURES
Bethlehem, Pa. With an old
map, Lt. Harry A. Adams, U. S.
N., retired, and his son, plan to
set out soon in a two-masted
schooner, seeking a sunken Span
ish galleon, loaded with gold, silver
and jewels. The ship was wrecked
during a storm 400 years ago and
is believed to be about where it
went down in the Carribean Sea.
Adams believes the treasure to be
worth at least $7,000,000.
From the Carribean, they plan
to go to the Canary Islands where
they say is a buried treasure of
Spanish silver dollars $2,000,000
worth.
Constitution of Canada
The constitution of the Domin
ion of Canada went into effect
July 1, 1867. The confederation, as
inaugurated in 1867, consisted only
of the four provinces of Ontario
(Upper Canada), Quebec (Lower
Canada), Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. Provision was made,
however, for the admission of other
areas. The provinces now number
nine, Prince Edward Island, Mani
toba, Saskatachewan, Alberta and
British Columbia having been added.

land of peace, wherein thou
trustedst, they wearied thee, .
then how wilt thou do in, the
swelling of Jordan?
Only a courageous spirit could
stand a message like that, and
Jeremiah was on the whole, the
bravest figure in the Old Testa
ment. He was the kind of man
who would have enjoyed a home,
but it was denied him.
The word of the Lord came
also unto me, saying,
Thou shalt not take thee a
wife, neither shalt thou have
sons or daughters' in this place.
He was a priest, but he had little
to do with the temple. He was a
man of property, yet he encounter
ed continuous privation. A friend
of kings, he was cast into prison
for reproving royalty. A stern pa?
triot, he was under suspicion of
giving aid and comfort to the ene
my against the friends whom he
had vainly sought to save. A nat
ural optimist, loving people and
desiring to be loved by them, he
was forced to utter truths which
estranged him from companionships.
Woe is me, my mother, that
thou hast borne me a man of
strife and a man of contention
to the whole earth! I have
neither lent on usury, or men
have lent to me on usury; yet
every one of them doth curse
me.
Jeremiah was a countryman, born
in the little town of Anathoth.
When the call of God came to him
to stand forth as a turbulent pro
phet instead of a quiet priest, it
found him modest and reluctant.

funerals or such as suggest the
fatal ending of sickness.
Better have the election returns,
or, even a report of the ball game;
in other words, the radio should be
i benefit instead of a means of de
gression of the nerves. Under no
circumstances should the program
be noisy, or unduly exciting.
It is often to be noted that the
radio may stand in a semi-distant
room, where children and house
callers may gather and tune into
hilarious stuff; the sick man will
either be annoyed or excited un
duly. A radio under such circum
stances can not do other than harm
to the patient's nerves. I would al
ways prefer a small set carefully
guarded for the sick room. Bar in
mind this letter is a suggestion for
certain cases; the acute, fever-case
or one that is extremely .nervous
had better have little to do with
the radio. Consult your family
! doctor always.
MAN FLIES WITH WINGS
Daytona Beach, Fla. Clem Sohn,
a parachute jumper, recently jump
ed off an airplane 12,000 feet up.
He wore wings across his shoul
ders and attached to his arms and
wrists. His legs supported a web
bing which, when spread, gave him
the plane sufface a bird's tail.
He dropped 2,000 feet and then
spread out his arms, checking his
descent. For a while he glided,
then he zoomed right and left, shot
upward and downward and looped
three times.
At 6,000 feet he pulled the rip
cord of his parachute and settled
to earth.
Indians "Charmed" Cutworm
Activities of the cutworm are not
new in this country. Long before
white men arrived in America the
Indian squaw upon visiting her gar
den in the morning would find
many of the tender plants lopped
off by the invader. The squaw,
however, didn't go to the trouble
of mixing up dangerous poisons
she had an easier method. ' Waiting
until a moonless night she would
go to the garden and circle it,
dragging the clothes she wore dur
ing the day. This procedure was
supposed to cast a "spell" over the
garden and make entry by the
vorm impossible.

SO PRACTICAL
Pattern 8393: To look your
charming best in the kitchen, and
still be your most efficient self,
choose the attractive pattern sketch
ed and make your dress up your
self in a few hours. The woman
of larger size might think she
could not wear a princess style
but when she makes up this pat
tern in an attractive piece of print
ed cotton she will be delighted with
how trim and slender she looks.
The panel in the front is closed
at the left side only with a row oi
decorative buttons, which makes it
easier to get into. The sleeves are
slashed and held together with an
extension at the lower edge. They
adorn the dress, as do the unusual
pockets which seem to be buttoned
to the frock. Needless to say this
frock will also flatter the woman of
smaller size, whatever her age.

TOO MUCH MONEY
Midland, Mich. Believe it or not,
here's a township which has more
money than it knows what to do
with. It rolls in at the rate of
$150 a day, as Porter Township is
where more than half Of Michigan's
oil is produced. Fir9t, officials
built a new town hall and thought
that would solve their problem but
now they find they have a surplus
of $40,000 in the treasury.
Millions Live in Boats
Because of the overpopulation in
China the land, as far as possible,
must be used to grow the neces
saries of life, and thus millions of
people are forced to live in house
boats on the various rivers. Peo
ple live from the cradle to the
grave on the same boat, known by
the name of sampan.
