THE COHSICANA SEMI-WEEKLY LIGHT, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1938. NTNS DOWN AGES COMES RINGING THE COUNSEL OF THE WISE" Lessons for Living Taught Long Centuries Ago by the Sages of the Youth Still Plays the Fool Self-Controlled Life Controls Destiny. By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Three thousand years ago, King Solomon wrote three thousand proverbs. These, with some added by othoi' wise men, made up the Book of Proverbs; whicn Whltelaw Reid said was the most practical handbook of success that any young man could read.

These pithy sayings are the itored-up wisdom of the sages of the ages. What they say, the wise men of all the centuries have been saying. The selection chosen for today by the International Lesson Committee contains this urgent exhortation which may bo regarded the personification of wisdom: "My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart. For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.

Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of It are the Issues of life." This last couplet holds the nub of the whole matter. Strong at the center of being, a life cannot help showing strength In all of Its manifestations. Physicians say that more persons die from heart trouble than from any other disease. That truth applies equally to society. The world is suffering from heart ailment.

Britain's Fitness Campaign During the war, Great Britain learned one lesson which she haa never forgotten. As she looked upon her regiments of soldiers from the cities, undersized, undernourished, uneducated, and contrasted their puny scrawlness (though they proved themselves heroic soldiers in action) with the stalwart, upstanding, independent colonials from Canada, Australasia, and South Africa, she felt shame. All the men were alike descended from the lame -stock. Thereupon, after the war, the nation entered upon a great alum clearance and better housing plan. Today she Is In the midst of a mighty "Make Britain Fit" campaign, which Is comparable with Germany's and Italy's youth movements.

The Old Country is resolved to remove the stigma of sodden drunkenness and disability from her underfed masses. For, obviously, her real defense in time of war is the character of her manhood. In the United States and Canada at the present time, there Is widespread discussion of socialized medicine and kindred pro- posois to safeguard the physical and mental well-being of all the people. This is definitely and predominantly a trend of the times. Fitness comes first, To the clamorous current discussions is added the Wise Man's injunction, "Keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of It are the issues of life." Clean hearts, stout hearts, reverent hearts, can make the nation's destiny great.

Cultivate the Spark. Since returning from a tour of twelve European and Asiatic countries, I have been repeatedly asked concerning the outlook, especially In Germany and Italy. I found something greater than the power of Hitler and Mussolini: the divine spark of personality which dwells in every human heart. For the present, many persons have yielded their independence and wills to the rule of dictators; but they know themselves to be Individuals, with inalienable spiritual quail- competitor clouded by drink. As a boy in a newspaper office, I was told, "You'll have to drink, to bo a good reporter." The time came when I had to do the work of those wiseacres for them, bo- cause they had drunk too many.

Once newspaper men were boozers; today thumbs arc down on the hard drinkers in all newspaper offices. Only yesterday I heard one more of the tragic talcs of what liquor will do to a strong man. The guide with whom I was fishing, told me, in the freedom of confidence that develops in a row-boat, of a former employer, a wealthy man, whose family and business and social standing had all been completely sacrificed to an appetite for liquor. It was a hideous picture he painted; but it could be matched in ten thousand cases. By contrast, nobody has ever been wrecked by self-restraint, self-respect, and by drinking cold water.

The kept heart keeps the life. SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS Adversity is a rough nurse, but she often performs wonderful John Peat. Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, but taking hold of God's 1 1 1 1 a Brooks. Were I so tall to reach pole, Or grasp the ocean with my span, I must be measured by my soul: The mind's the standard of the man, Watts. It Is beyond dispute that neither the universality nor the unity of human personality, its two most obviously essential features, were adequately understood in pro- Christian If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive ui our sins, and to cleanse us from all John 1:9, May every soul that touches mine, Be it the slightest contact, get therefrom some good, Some little grace, one kindly thought, One aspiration yet unfelt, one bll of courage For the darkening sky, one gleam of faith To brave thickening llli of life.

God lighted the spark that burns In every mortal breast, to light man to a lifo higher than that of the beasts. The spark still burns; and, as I was assured by thoughtful persons, it will one day bring back a free Germany and a free Italy. Aa we depend upon the spark in manacled Europe, so also we count upon the spark for the emergence of a better life In our own land. Already there has been manifest a great change In the temer of youth since the Immediate post-war days. Sanity ii returning from Its wild spree of flesh-worship and mind-worship.

Moral standards are being accepted and understood afresh, Politicians, publicists, philosophers, psychologists, physicians ADDITIONAL FUNDS EOR RED CROSS ARE BEINGJIECEIVED During the past two days addl tlonal funds have been received by the local Red Cross headquar ters for relief of the Southweaf Texas flood victims. At the Flrai National Bank It was reportec that the sum of $26 was handed In Monday and up to noon Tues day another $10 had been rcceiv ed. Two donations of $1 wen received at the Dally Sun office from Mrs. J. A.

Gunter and the other cash. Additional appeals are beinj, made for relief and rehabilitation funds for the victims of the recent summer floods of the San Saba, Concho and Colorado rlv ers. The subscription books are still open and contributions may be- left either at the First Nation al Bank or at the Dally Sun. PLAN TERRACING DEMONSTRAITONON R. M.

MARTIN FARM A terractlng demonstration wil be held on the R. M. Martin farm and preachers are newly stress- ing the paramountry of spiritual values. God is once more coming to His own in the hearts of youth. A first step toward more satisfactory living Is taken by every person who resolves to keep his heart with all diligence.

Man Is most a man when his diviner nature is developed. Sagacity should send the puzzled folk of today to the church, to the Bible, to good books and to a discussion of tho oldest, deepest themes of character. As to Alcohol One does not have to be a fanatic to precelve that the wisdom of the ages has been against strong drink, as impairing man's soul-sovereignty, and laying upon him a whole train of handicap and miseries. Every day's newspaper prints this teaching. There is not a crime in the catalogue that has not owed its commission to the loss of self-control due to alcohol.

From every madhouse, every hospital, every jail, there echoes the cry, "Where there's drink there's danger." Mastered by liquor, man loses his manliness. Why, for a titillated palate and a momentary false glow of feeling, should a man imperil his heart, his self-sovereignty and his future? May I offer a personal testimony? For all of my life, In all lands and amidst all conditions, I have been a teetotaller: and I cannot recall a single Instance wherein I have suffered any loss thereby. As a working newspaper man, I have more than once six miles southeast of Corslcan found that a clear head practical advantage over Is the oooooooooooooo Tho Sunday School Los- son for August 14 Is "The delation of Temperance to I Thess. ooouoooooooooo 22 Thursday, accord an announcement.

Nowhere docs taste, skill and thrift of a housewife show more clearly than her purchase of towels, Mrs.

J. L. Womack, kitchen demonstrator told a group of club women, Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 9 at the home of Mrs. George Tucker.

Towels are simple articles whose only purpose Is to remove water, after washing. Their qualities should be: The power to absorb moisture, durability, ease in laundering, reasonable In price, to stay white, if white, and to give up stains readily. Mrs Womack continued by saying that kitchen towels are usually made of crash, and we have three different kinds of material: "Cotton" which stains easily, and Isn't very absorbent, "union," toweling has a cotton warp and a linen filling It more absorbent, laundcrics more easily and is little more expensive than the all cotton crash The "all linen" Is most efficient and well worth the higher price Until every home has a suf- fiicent supply of hot water to make dish drying unnccessariy tea towels will be a problem for the home maker Tho most efficient and most easily launderled ones are made of linen crash or of glass toweling The latter Is a trade name for a crash that Is woven in checks or stripes of red or blue or white As a rule the colored threads are cotton since it holds the dye better. These linen towels dry the dishes easily, giving a nice polish, unmarrcd by line Stains and dirt are easily removed In the laundry and the towels grow whiter and more absorbent with use After the meeting adjourned the hostess, Mrs. George Tucker assisted by Mrs.

JOINT INTERVIEW GIVEN SHIPBOARD NEW DEALER-CRITIC NEW YORK, Aug. Two United States senators a New Dealer and a frequent critic of the New Deal raced each other in a joint press interview on the U.

S. Liner Manhattan today. Both talked, but the New Dealer saved words. The New Deal critic, Edward R. Burke, Nebraska Democrat, said he favored Vice President John N.

Garner as his presidential candidate for 1940. "I will work for him In the states before the convention," he said. "I'll work for him during the convention and after tho convention. He is progressive, forward-looking and has both feet on the ground all the time." The reporters turned to his Schwellenbach, Washington Democrat. "You may put me down for the opposite of everything that Senator Burke said," he smiled.

Burke smiled, too. Said Schwellenbach: "We are going to keep up government spending until business co-operates with us." Said Burke: "Business won't spend anything until the government shows some cpmmon sense." Both men, with Senator Henrik Shipstcad, Minnesota Farmer-Laborite, sailed to attend the Inter- parliamentary Congress at The Hague, Netherlands, August 22 to 27. Shlpstead said the federal government must do something to break up control of prices and production, particularly in the steel and cement Industries. Thomas Demanding Elimination Politics From WPA Projects WASHINGTON, Aug. Senator Thomas (D-Okla) disclosed today he had protected to the Works ProfireHS Administration against proposed changes in the Oklahoma state office and declared he wns "getting tired of politics and demanding they get back on a business basis.

Thomas yesterday conferred with Dean R. Brlmhall, WPA official, on the proposed dismissal August 15 of Webster L. Benham, state WPA engineer. "They say he Is inefficient, but the president complimented the state for Its work when he was In Oklahoma and If Benham is inefficient it lias taken WPA three years to find it out. That argument falls and they just can't get away with it." Sell It Quick through want Ads.

Ben Rosenberg Son IMPLEMENTS PAINT HARDWARE ALADDIN LAMPS AND PARTS opponent. He conceded this afternoon that Rep. D. Worth 21ark, an avowed conservative, had beaten him In yesterday's democratic ballottlng in which new deal support was the main Issue. The only comparable cast wnji that of Senator Herbert E.

Hitchock of South Dakota who lout his primary to former Gov. Tom Berry, a supporter with conservative leanings. Pope's defeat tempered considerably the Joy of administration lleu- over Senator Robert J. Bulkley's smashing victory over Former Gov. George White in Ohio.

Bulkley had President personal support. Pope had been mpported by Postmaster General Farley, who spoke for him, and had been openly and recently defended by Secretary Hull for his reciprocal trade treaty stand. In the third senatorial race, Senator Hattle W. Caraway of Arkansas, another whom the president called "friend" on western trip, apparently had a safe margin over her nearest opponent Rep. John L.

McClcllan. Bulkier Nomination Assured The Ohln vote assured democratic renominatlon of Senator Robert J. Bulltlcv who, with 7.78!* precincts out of 8,601 reported, had tallied 441,788 votes to 184,434 for former Gov. George White. Bulkley was praised by Mr.

Roosevelt when the latter visited Marietta early last month on his way west, Ohio republicans, balloting In smaller numbers than the demo- carts apparently nominated Robert A. Toft, son of tho late president, to run against Bulkley In November. In 8,266 precincts out of 8,601 Taft had 302,663 votes and Arthur Day 235,434. In Arkansas Senator Hattle Caraway, who like Bulkley received public commendation from the President, was slowly pulling ahead of her nearest opponent, Rep. John L.

McCIellan. The count for 1,523 precincts of 2,002 gave Caraway 76,351 and McClcllan B40. Because of President Roosevelt's show of preference for Senators Caraway and Bulkley the admin Istratlon figured as an Issue in their campaigns even though their opponents were by no means antagonistic to the white house. Issue Clearly Drawn. In Idaho, however the issue was clearly drawn.

Senator James Popn, a 100 per cent Roosevelt man. was opposed In the democratic primary by Rep. D. Worth Clark, who hammered home throughout his campaign that he was not an administration "yes man." The vote In 631 of 802 precincts gave Clark 38,776 to Pope's 36,629. In addition to the straight out administration Issue, other factors which entered Into the votn were his Btnnd on reclproca trade treaties, for which he was praised recently by Secretary Hul and his leadership in sponsoring new deal farm policies In the senate.

Short of nn open cndorsemeni by the President Pope had substantial Washington backing. Not only did Hull write to him a few days before the primary but Post master General Farley spoke in his behalf. Yesterday's fourth primary, in Nebraska, was devoid of a senate contest. Gov. R.

L. Cochran easily won democratic renomin- atlon for a third term and Charles J. Warner was the republican choice. Reform Candidate Wins. In Ohio, reform candidate Charles Sawyer was virtually assured of the democratic gubernatorial nomination over ClO-baitlng Gov.

Reliable Davey. election observers indicated that Sawyer's margin might run as much as 20,000. After holding a comfortable lead, Sawyer saw it slowly dwindle as Davey received heavy support from rural counties, but late returns from Cleveland and Summit county (Karon) put tho former lieutenant governor back Into the lead. Latest figures: Sawyer Davey 414,040 (8,177 precincts). The campaign was complicated in its closing days by social security board charges that Davey was bringing political pressure on old age pension beneficiaries.

In Arkansas the race for democratic nomination for governor had Gov. Carl E. Bailey almost 6,000 votes ahead with three-fourth of all precincts reported. Returns in the Idaho democratic gubernatorial race gave former Gov. C.
