Health and Beauty By Dr. Sophia Branson m-A provoked; thinketh no eviL And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest: of these is love.". If you give love, love will come back" to yen. Itnaay be many days before you will realize it but it will surely come back some day in your time of need or sorrow. . If you "give to the ''world the best you have, the best will come back to you." If you hate, you, poison the well springs of your life and destroy . your own peace, and that of those about you. Hate will produce a terrible harvest of destructive emotions within your own soul. . You see the awful results of hate and greed in the present world.: s it is the harvest that is being reaped from sowing the seeds of hate with all its venemous brood.

Children 30c : Sponsored By Hertford Lions Chib Look Out For Chiggers How many times our lovely out ings in the spring and summer have been followed by an infestation of the red bugs or chiggers. We itched and scratched until sometimes we had sores on our bodies. The Journal of the American Med ical Association published an article on the mites, in which it gave some very good advice. The novice sallies forth all unprepared, sits on the grass or on a log, comes back infest ed with the pests. He goes to bed and is kept awake by itching and scratching. He is in for it then. He may put on one of several applica tions that are soothing enough to af ford him several hours of sleep at a stretch. But the only effective cure is time. The chigger is the six-legged larva of the eight-legged parent that spends her winters under ground and on low plants. In the spring the eggs are deposited on the ground. In four weeks they hatch. The little red devils pour forth and lie in waiting for a host on which to settle. The creatures are parasites. They live by sucking the life fluid of the an imals upon which they light. Man seems to be their favorite hosts as you find to your sorrow. If you have spent several delightful hours roaming and sitting in the great outdoors. Arrived at home as tired as a dog that has" been running rabbits all day, you stretch out for a delightful sleep. Just as you are dropping off into dreamland, the chig gers turn loose their batteries on you. They begin to dine on your juices, and ' in place of your juices which they steal they deposit their irritant digestive excretions which dtch so fiercely. " Now, let me tell you a little secret Chiggers mortally hate sulphur: Therefore, if you would protect your self from the voracious red bug&vslft some sulphur in your shoes before you hie forth to the picnic or prepare to' sit on the banks of the streams and. kike, while engaged in the de lightful occupation of fishing. 'Better dust your whole body with sulphur before going on the picnic. a yon took no precautions and be came Infested, try applying kerosene to the itchy areas. Then get into t tub of hot wster and scrub your en tire body with soap. Rubbin alcohol is helpful "in allaying itchinar if you apply it to the bites and follow it with, boric acid ointment, or one to two- per cent of carbolic acid. ' ; Plain gasoline or carbon tetrachlo ride swabbed on with gauze or cotton is effective in reducing the itching. Be careful in handling gasoline.' .Tet rachloride- is not; inflammable.' . Be cautious about scratching. You can do yourself great harm In this way by infecting yourself. Love is God's greatest gift to man. It enables him "to make with joy supreme sacrifices for the benefit of others. ; , ; ' r . . .. - ' The man .of Galilee, the Christ ex emplified that in His life and in His aeain. ureaier love natn ; no man than this, that he lay down His life fbi His enemies. : Afound the world today where there are men or groups of men who believe; in . His teachings and follow him, there are love, kindness, j rosiiy, nannony ana peace among them.

He rose from obscurity into the 1 spotlight only to vanish from ' sight. However, his contribution was outstanding and iiis prophecy, if it had been heeded, would have saved Ahab from destruction. Micaiah had the conviction that he was speaking for God and that what he said was the truth, regardless of the effect it had or the reception it would get.: It took real courage, too, to bring a message which he knew would be unpopular. v The modern tendency is to evade the issues and to say what seems ex pedient at the moment. In reply to a question, "Why bother so much about the truth?
