than other comparable brands.
One man reported that he had been
billed for a so called free sample. If
you buy by phone, determine the
active ingredients and the percent
age of each; determine the use of
the products, determine the total
price; including the shipping and
handling charges, write down
information given by telephone
salesmen and check with the N.C.
Department of Agriculture to be
sure the product is properly
registered before purchasing ma
terials.

iiii/Av
Read Luke 10:25-37
It isn't enough just to have faith.
You must also do good to prove
that you have it. (James 2:17, TLB)
God gives us a new day in which
to show our loving allegiance. What
can we do? Endow a college? Pay
the church mortgage? Help equip a
mission station? Maybe not, but we
can give of ourselves.
We can give of our heart, by
affectionate kindness and sympa
thetic understanding to those who
need it today. We can give of our
minds by encouraging good ideas in
ourselves or by praising them in
others. We can take a firm stand
for ideals and principles that are
wise and good, or for projects in
our community that hurt none, but
hold steadily in view of the good of
many.
Best of all, we can do good by
giving of our spirits in praying for
others, by speaking words of
encouragement and inspiration.
Thus we become God's earthly
agents of faith, peace, and good
because of what we do. This is
loving God with heart and mind
and soul and strength.
ngth
PRAYER: Our Father, help us
so to love Thee that we shall want to
serve Thee, by the gifts of our heart
and mind and soul and strength. In
Jesus' name. Amen.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY --
Our truest gift is something of
ourselves.

HOW TO FIX MINOR TOILET
PROBLEMS: When your toilet
tank keeps running constantly after
being flushed the trouble may be
due to a faulty float inside the tank.
To check, lift up the end of the
metal or plastic float slightly to see
if it shuts off the water and stops
the "hissing" sound after the tank
is full. If it does, then the float is
probably leaking and water logged
and is not shutting off the shut-off
valve as it should. Unscrew the
float and shake vigorously. If you
hear water sloshing around inside,
it is leaking and should be
replaced. If it is not leaking, it may
be that the rod needs to be bent
downward slightly so that the float
provides additional pressure on
shut-off mechanism.
When the rubber tank ball
becomes old and worn, causing a
constant leak of water into the bowl
of toilet, it must be replaced.
Unscrewing the wire rod from the
top of the rubber ball permits the
removal of rod and ball. Replace
with ball recommended by your
local supply store.

In the 5th century, English sailors
wore loose, full-sleeved "sea-gowns"
that hung to the knees and were
belted at the waist. The first official
naval uniform dates from 1604,
when James I ordered certain
shipmasters to wear long, scarlet
livery with velvet trim.
