tim hie iinmimf BUT OAKEY IS NO SAVAGE | * Am a rule, the man who become* a member ol congress Brat get* hi* name up while occupying *ome other oflee. The rale applies to P. Dart* Oakejr ot Hartford, Conn. Oakey made a reputation for himself a* presi dent of the American Association of Baidheaded Men. The organisation, while national In Its scope, usually held Its snnual meetings In Connecticut, snd Oakejr made speeches at these gstherlngs which could not fail to Impress one and all with his mastery of the spoken word. In addition to heading the bald heads of America, Oakey has serred as alderman in Hartford and as a member of the school board. One .feature ot Oskey's speeches which has helped to popularise them and him In Connecticut *ls their brerlty. I m addition to not hkrlng as many - opportunities ror making arter-amner speeches as ha would like, Oakey'a lite haa been marred somewhat by the fact that be la always being thrown where be is obliged to listen to music? and he was bora without the slightest sense of tonal harmony. Music may soothe the savage, but Oekey la no savage, and It merely annoya and distracts him. Wluit is music to anybody else is to Oakey only a sys tematic distribution of needless noise. He dislikes it all from lullaby to oratorio, and from ragtime to dirge. QUIT MAKING SPEECHES? NEVER Senator llartlne of New Jersey dotea on making speeches. He la free to aay that he would much prefer to abandon almoet any other rice he haa rather than speechmaklng. Laat aum mer Martina waa one of a number of members of congress who went on a journey to Hawaii. Part of their en tertainment there conelated of an Ini tiation Into a so-called Order of Ha waiian Chlefa. Thle Initiation, which waa held on a lonely laland, reeerred for that purpose. waa a good deal like joining a college fraternity. Dlgnlfled congressmen wore no clothes except a modish skirt made of grass, and were put through various amusing capers. One feature of the exercises was an electric mat on which great men were laid full length, with hands and feet tied, and blindfolded. Then the electric current was turned on and all manner of grave promisee were ex rnfinA fvnns <Via wlnflma TT??l? Cannon, Congressman McKlnlejr, Senator Martina and various other come dians were among the number. McKlnley was ordered to promise that be wonld stomp the country for Theodore Roosevelt In ltlt. At first McKlnley was Inclined to demur at this, hut they turned on the "triclty and he promptly agreed to do as he was asked. Uncle Joe Cannon refused to pledge himself to support the Demo cratic tariff policies. "Never," he Insisted. They Increased the flow of electrical current and he hastened to shout, "I promise!" The next man was Martlne. They bade him to enter Into a covenant never again to make a speech In the United States senate. "Nub, nuh, nuh!" exclaimed Martlne, excitedly. "Ill never promise that." They gave him a series of severe electrical shocks. But Martlne was Arm. Nor would all the electricity at the disposal of his tormentors move him from his purpose. ( HE DISAPPOINTS MANY Dr. Harry C. Frankenfleld, one of tbe chief forecasters of the weather bureau. Is a member of the National Aeso club. In spite of the fact that throughout the entire country eighty five out of the hundred forecasts of the weather are correct, it Is generally believed that Doctor Frankenfleld has in his prognostications disappointed more persons than anyone else In the United States, but tbe fact remains the weather bureau saves the country . at least $100,000,000 annually and that he Is known throughout the world as one of its greatest meteorologists. The variableness of weather condi tions Is one of the stumbling blocks of aerial navigation, and a comprehensive study of Its fickle laws Is necessary to every filer, but particularly to the one who must fly over the sea. Hence it is easy to see why Admiral Peary wanted Doctor Frankenfleld on the commls slon. John Have Hammond Ir the first advocate of the aerial coast patrol for all coasts. Is young but well known. Possibly above above all others he bas obtained control by elec tricity without wire connection of objects detached and distant from the source of the current's discharge. Bis boat controlled from the shore with out pilot or crew, bis aerial torpedo and other activities are new war factors which may revolutionize military methods. TEACHES BOYS WAR GAME , n^mmmmmmrnmrn Washington hu a unique "pre paredneaa" feature in the school which has recently been started for officers of the High School Cadet regiments. Lieut. E. Z. Steeyer, U. S. A., who'll the voluntary instructor, is careful to keep all thought of war in the back ground, as far as possible, in teaching the boys, yet the lessons which they are learning are such as will better qualify them to "do their bit" for tbelr homes in case the need ever arises. At present the work is along theo retical lines, conducting Imaginary troops ower large maps; later prac tical work is to be done in the field. Boys who haye "played" the "map game" are enthusiastic oyer it. They claim it is more interesting than check ers. chess Or cards. Withal, they are learning something; not how to be militarists, but how to be resourceful; ' how to be logical and how to act nromntlv. Lieutenant fitonvob (? enthusiastic. Not only Is he greatly Interested in boys as boys, but he wat himself a member of the High School Cadet organization ot Washington. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN. Alabama now haa an antlsuffrage organization.

In a casse role, only a little water being added and the casserole covered. Cereals, properly cooked, mixed with dates or llgs, are excellent, accompa nied by rich milk or half milk and balf cream. An Ideal breakfast for a child of six consists of either stewed fruit or a small glassful of oranjge Juice, a well-cooked cereal, slices of whole wheat or Boston brown bread, or toast, and a glass of milk. Among cakes, gingerbread, ginger cookies, raisin cookies and pattycakea can be eaten. < Chicken, roasted or broiled.' Is also suitable for children, together with rice.

Typhoid Denotes Poor Sanitation. "A high death rate from typhoid fever Is about the worst thing that can be said for the sanitary condi tions of a town or for a state as a whole." says a bulletin from the state board of health. Continuing, the bul letin says: "Typhoid fever In a town more than any other disease, unless It Is diarrheal diseases of children, denotes to what extent sanitary mat ters receive attention In that town. It donates that one or more of the following conditions exists: the pres ence of filth and files, insanitary darles and dirty milk, or a polluted water supply. Towns tolerating any of these conditions may expect their losses from typhoid and dtrrhea alone to be greater than the expense of keeping clean and maintaining a clean milk and water supply." , Graduates to Be County Aoents.

SELLERS. Ac Unit director of Sunday School Course otHho Moody Bible institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Weattrn Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 16 PETER AND CORNELIU8. LESSON TEXT?Acts 10.1-M. GOLDEN TEXT-There is no IJatlnc .lon between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all. and is rich unto all that call upon him.?Rom. 10:12. Thus far Christianity had to do vlth Jews and Jewish proselytes only. Now its circle begins to widen so as to In elude the Gentiles. The central flg ure of this lesson, Cornelius, was a captain cummaudlng one hundred men in the Ilomaa army. The chasm be tween blacks and whites, which so widely exists In America, la nothing compared to that which divided the Jew and Gentile. We take the whole atory of Cornelius In today's lesson and consider the Easter atory next week. 1. A Prepared Convert (vt. 14). (1) Hie poeltlon. Caeearea was on the great sea and was the political capital \ of Judea. It was about seventy miles , from Jerusalem and thirty from Joppa i Cornelius, who was captain of a band of men born In Italy, was a Roman i cltlsen. and perbapa had been connect ed with the gTeat Roman general . Sclplo. (J) Hla character. He was a man of promptness, appreciation and ! obedience, (v. 33). He waa also a God-fearing man. whose piety Included ; hla whole household. He waa a man of prayer and generosity (vs. 31. 33).J for he gava "much alma" to both Jews and Gentiles. The result waa that he waa honored greatly by all, especially by the Jews. It does not seem that , Cornelius was a proselyte to the Jewish faith (vs. 38-11:3), and he certainly was not as yet a saved man (11:13, 14). Cornelius was a man of a vision, not of dreams or of trances, for this vision came in the open daylight (v. 30), when an angel, looking like a man, appeared , unto him. Hla fear was calmed and he waa Informed that hla prayer, for he waa a "seeker after God," had been heard. The "memorial" (v. 4) spoken of was that part of the meal offering which the priest burned upon the altar and which ascended un to the Lord as a sweet aavor (See also Mai. 3:16). Cornelius la put to a strange teat. He la to tend (or an unknown man to receive Instruction. The angel was not to enlighten him. aa It la man's province to witness for God. There Is not a recorded Bible conversion without some human In strumentality. Cornelius, soldier that he was. at once obeyed Instructions and sent out two devout retainers after Peter. Man alone could finish the work of the angels. II. Th? Prepared Preacher (yb. ^-2J). Tanning was considered an unclean occupation, but in Simon's house was the man God wanted to use on this ' occasion. No matter how poor a preacher, or unlikely the situation, II we obey God we can preach better than Gabriel. God laid, as It were, his right band on Cornelius, and bis left upon Peter." and drew them together Again God uses a dream, linking the natural^and the supernatural. A hun gry man dreams oI food, a very com mon occurrence, and God gave super natural direction to a natural dream. God knows the right time to do the right thing. We do not need dreams for our guidance as we have a full and sufficient revelation in the Word for our guidance. Many confused, uncer tain and often mistaken voices are often related to us as the spirit's ut terances, yet the practical test that Peter was given ought to warn and teach us regarding all such claims. Here are Cornelius' servants, come in obedience to God's revelation and com mand; here is Peter confronted by an opportunity of presenting the gospel to those whom he had considered "un clean." Peter was a spirit-enlightened and guided man, and so It was easy for him to interpret his own dream in the light of this evident opportunity; wit ness Dr. A. J. Gordon's famous dream But the spirit's directions were full and explicit, "arise, get thee down, and go with them nothing doubting." No vagary or mysticism about that. II men of today would as readily obey the plain command of the word ol God, like results would accrue. III. The Prepared Ones Meet (va 23-33). Cornelius had his whole house hold ready when Peter arrived (v. 24), I perhaps more people than on the day of the first great Pentecost. He said "We are all here present In the sighi' of God to hear"all the things that have been commanded thee of the Lord.' This is a great statement if we con sider its full content. Peter refused tc accept worship, that alone belongs tc Christ (v. 25) and he explained how Sod had thrust him outside of the clr cle of Jewish believers. He then re bearsed what God had doqe and as serted that "He is no respecter of per ions," and that in response to thost In every nation who work righteous oess God had sent forth Jesus for the salvation of men. (1) That men might bave peace through him (?. 26); (2) That he might be Lord over all; (3) That he had been anointed with the Holy Spirit and power; (4) That h< bad been crucifled (1 Pet. 1; 18. 19; 2:24); (6) That God had raised hln: , From the dead; (() That he Is to b< the Judge, and (7) Tj^at because o , what he had done?"through the namt >f Jesus"?all that believe shall hav< 'remission of sins." (This Is a good sermon outline.) Following this won lerful sermon, there occurred the Gen i tile Pentecost (vs. 44-46). i The manifestations of this Pentecost were similar to the first; amazement < tongues, the magnifying of 6od and the exaltation of Jesus. Peter and the six Jews who accom , panted him were "amaied" at these J Pentecostal manifestations, and they , were the ones who administered bap tism to those who had believed. j , ? ? [Christ's Death and Resurrection By REV. JAMES M. GRAY. D. D. Dean ot the Moody Bible I mutate at Chicago | TEXT?Who waa delivered for our ef ? fensea. and waa raised again for our Jua j t ideation.?Romans 4:26. One Is so (lad that the Son of God j chose the budding springtime for his ! narrlfW nn nur behalf, and hi* glorious triumph over death. There 1* a fitness be tween the time and the event that Impresses you the moment you think about It. Both speak of hope, and both breathe gladness In the heart of man. "He was deliv ered for our of tenses." How pregnant Is every esr/tfrl nf that aTeat w ui u w? W?? Inspired sentence! "He." It la no mere man of whom this pronoun speaks, but "the mighty God, the Fa ther of Eternity, the Prince Bt Peace," as Isaiah testifies. "Imman uel, which, being Interpreted, Is God with us," as Matthew echoes. Oh. wonder of wonders, that the Eternal Uod, In the person of his Son. should have become Incarnate of the Virgin Mary. It will take us all eternity to grasp the thought. "Was dellyered." Who "dellTered" him? We think of Judas, who be trryed him, of the Roman soldiers who airested him, of the Jewish sanhedrin who persecuted him, of Pontius Pi late who Illegally tried him, of the cruel executioners who nailed htm to the cross. And yet It was the hand and the counsel of his Father that had before determined It should be done, or else these wicked men had had no power. Far back In the counsels of eternity God so loved us as to freely offer his Son on our behalf. "For our offenses." We are born into a state of sin, but that Is not all, for' the moment we arrive at a point of moral consciousness, we ac tually transgress the law of God. "In many things we offend all," as the epistle of James says. "There is none righteous, no, not one," we are taught In Romans. Men do not like to hear this. They resent It, they hate it. But, Oh. what love, that "while we were yet sinners Christ died for us." The very ones who hate to hear of man's sinfulness, are those who talk about divine love. But who can sound the depths of that love until he ac cepts the truth of the cross of Cal vary. And It Is that truth which this text presents most fully. "And was raised again." The same one who died was the one who was raised. This truth must not be mini mized. We must hold with all the tenacity of faith to the bodily resurrec tion of our Lord and Savior. We must do this not because our peace de pends upon It, but because the 'Bible teaches It, and because history proves It. "He showed himself alive after his passion by many Infallible proofs." ? Historic Christianity Is a testimony to Christ's resurrection which cannot be accounted tor unless he arose from the dead. The change of the day of rest and worship from the sev enth to the first Is another proof which meets and challenges the skep tic 52 times a year. "For our Justification." That word, - "our," how we should love It and praise God tor It. "Deliver for our of fenses," raised again for our Justlflcax tlon." What kindness to. the human race Is In that word! How close It brings the heart of God to our hearts. What Interest It should awake on our pari to learn all we can about It from the Holy Scriptures. And "Justification," what does that mean? Sometimes when Christiana thing of salvation, they get no fur ther than the forgiveness of sin; and Indeed that were glorious enough even If it stopped there. But one might be forgiven for the past and still be very wretched for the present and the future. Justification therefore is a bigger word, and stands for a greater thing than simply forgiveness. The Justified man is one who stands in God's sight tree from the guilt, the penalty of all sin, past, present and to come! The reasof? of this is that his penalty has been paid, not by him self. but by another, whose resurrec tion from the dead is the proof of It. That event is God's testimony, to bis acceptance of the atoning sacrifice of his Son. This is what the song calls "The Old, Old Story." Those who know It best "seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest," and no apol ogy need be made to them for repeat ing it. especially at this season of the year. There are others, however, who have heard it and whose hearts are hardened against it. One pities them because they have cut away their only hope. But there are a third class who are thinking about it, wondering If it can be true, feeling that it is too good news for tbem to embrace. Or per haps, some pet sin is holding them back from its acceptance, or the love of worldly pleasure, or ambition for worldly wealth, or fear of ridicule or criticism. Let me lovingly urge them to yield, to step over the line today, to make this the acceptable time for their salvation. Oh. thdt the resurrec tion of the year might witness the awakening of faith, and hope, and life within them through receiving Jesus "hrlst as their Savior and Lord! Caution in crediting, and reserve la ipeaktng, and in revealtng one's self :o but few. are the best securities both ?f a good understanding with the world and of the inward peace of our nlnde.?Thomas a-Komnia
