The illicit love of Potiphar's wife,
and her revenge when the -young

most widely re

their scoffing con

For the story of
Joseph is the finest single story in
the Old Testament
His father's favorite, ftftd there
fore the scorn "and envy of bis
brothers, he made trouble for him
self by the strange wisdom of his
dreams and by his "coat of many
colors," his father's gift. "Behold
this dreamer cometh," they sneer
ed, and forthwith they cast him
into a pit, and smearing his coat
with the blood of a kid took it
home to their sorrowing father with

golden &r at he end, as the poets
inform us, rbut he treads a long
hard- path i the beginning. The
Isfeiaejites bought Joseph when his
brothers removed him from the pit
into which they had cast - him, and
then tramped beside their camels
down the dusty trail into Egypt.
By. sheer brains and' force of char

he knew not aught he hat, save

THE HUMAN SKIN
This wonderful envelope for our
bodies, it seems to me, with its
seven layers, is second in impor
tance only to the brain. And, like
the poor "we have it with us al
ways." A young doctor, explaining why
he had selected skin diseases for
his specialty, is reported to have
said "well, skin patients never re
quire night visits; they never die
and they never get well." Those
with experience can testify to his
accuracy.
I wish I had the space and time
to say all I would about the skin,
but, I am limited to only gross
statements here. The skin is full
of pores millions of them, which
should never be plugged up on pro
longed occasion; keep the pores
open for a healthy skin.
The best agent for maintaining a
healthv skin-is PURE WATER
with the addition of mild soap.
People spend hundreds of dollars
for chemicals supposed to be skin
food." The best skin food comes
from our daily dietary.
A good bath tub and a coarse
towel are the very best friends of
man when properly used. The skin
is not hard to take care of, if we
but use common sense with practi
cal judgment. Soda is a good bath
ing salt as is boric acid; both
should be kept in every household.
Very few skin remedies will be
needed if the surface of the body
is kept in good, sanitary condition
It is not a good plan to try ex
periments on the skin. Merely to
bathe with the idea of perfect
cleanliness, and rub afterwards with
the coarse towel, to produce a
bright healthy glow is a good pre
scription. For anything more elab
orate, see your personal physician.

It would be easy to wipe out
crime if crime could be divorced
from politics. Too many politicians
and political organizations are in
cahoots with criminals. The police
commissioner of New York remark

men wld round up every impor
tant; criminal were it not for the
political protection those felons
have managed to obtain.
Loopholes in the laws should be
stopped up, but lawmaking is in
the hands of politicians, and courts
are bound by the laws. The ten
dency to, regard any law, whether
it is backed by public opinion or
not, as more sacred than human
lives and property, has been car
ried too far. I believe the reaction
is setting in.

the line of movement along paths
which he considers more likely to
lead to the general good in the
long run, or else sit tight and let
the world go by.
It is more trouble to keep up
with the world, after a man reach
es a certain age, than to pull him
self into his shell and refuse to
have anything to do with the new
things about him. But the only
way an intelligent person can get
much satisfaction out of life is to
be a part of it, and to try to find
what good, he can in its constant
changes.
Some fundamental truths never
change. It is possible to hold fast
to the elemental virtues of person

one's self-respect, in short, and still
achieve a. fair degree of content
ment, if not of happiness, in the
midst of a changing social order.

Young men and women some
times ask me for advice in shaping
their careers. That is always a
compliment, but I am not always
sure that I can give them any ad
vice of real value.
If the inquiring youngster has
any talent for public entertainment,
however, I always advise him to
follow that line. "The big money
flows into the pockets of those who
can stir people's emotions, not to
those who try to stimulate their
minds. If you. can make people
