Old people need least of all because they are through growing and are not so active. Following is a table of calories show- ing the number needed for the differ- ent common activities.

Sunday School Lesson Blooms Best in Spring New Brnuswick, N.J.,—Gardeners who desire large pansies next spring should set their plant.e in a rich bed of soil before November 1, according to A. C. McLean, of the Now Jersey Agricultural Extension Service. He said that pansies planted in the fall and left undisturbed in the spring produce more and better flowers than plants which have been moved. "Do not wait until spring to buy plants if the best pansies are desired," Mr. McLean said. "The Tansy is very easily transplanted at this time of the year, and is practically winter hardy if given slight protection to keep the ground from freezing and thaw- ing.. The chief precaution should be to plant them in a soil that is well drained. Then when the ground starts to freeze, cover with some straw and then with leaves. If you have not plants of your own, buy some of the best of such large -flower- ing strains as Steele's, Roggli giants, or some of the better foreign families" A movie photographer has gone to Africa solely for the purpose of film- ing giraffes.

Some leave main- tained that the round bottoms were made purposely as being less easily broken. Other prehistorians imagine that the ancient potters may not have• known liow to shape pot bottoms into fiat form without leaving weaknesses at the corners -so that cracks would appear in firing. Still other experts suspect that the first pots may have been made in imitation of the round bottom shape of natural gourds and that no prehistoric potter was original enough to change this convential mod- el. It has remained, however, for an ,unnamed correspondent of Captain O. liberty wherewith Christ e d made them free, 5: 1. But in this teaching of 'Christian liberty there lay the pos- sibility of a serious misunderstanding, and some of Paul's converts had erred in thinking that liberty meant law- lessnes-, the throwing off of all res- traint,indifference to moral conduct. They confounded liberty -with license, as some misguided people do even in our own day. Paul would have those who "•have been called unto liberty" snake right use of that precious gift—not for an occasion to self-indulgence, but as an opportunity for loving service. For the freedom of the Christian is free- dom to serve. It involves a higher obligation, obedience to the law of love. Those who misuse their liberty, who "bite and devour one another," or, as Moffatt renders, who "snap at each other and prey upon each other," are in danger of a deadlier bondage. than that from which they think they have escaped. There is 110 meaner slave than he who is possessed and govern- ed by his own selfish appetites and passions. Paul's counsel is "Walk in the Spirit," or in Moffatt's translation "lead the life of the Spirit." It is only where the higher nature of man has control, where flesh is obedient to spirit, that there is perfect free- dom. If, on the other hand, flesh, man's lower nature, with its appetites 1u.1 passions, has control, the whole of life is debased and corrupted. True manhood in that case is lost—the man becomes no"better than a slave. The body controlled by man's spiritual na- ture is good, as God made it. In such controlled life there is no bondage. The opposite is equally true. ANALYSIS. 1. THE RIGHT USE OP FREEDOM, 13-18. II. FLESH AND SPIRIT, 19-26. • INTRODUCTION—The country of Gal- atia in the north central part of Asia Minor was held, in Paul's time, by invaders from the west, Gauls, who, in the fourth and third centuries B.C., overran Italy, entered Green, and passed over the straits into Asia, Under Roinan rule the name was ex- tended southward to cover a Roman province which included those cities of Asia Minor which Paul visited on his first, second and third missionary journeys, Antioch of Pisidia, Ieonium, Lystra, and Derbe. It was to the Christian people of these cities, con- verts of his first great missionary en- terprise, and very dear to him, that Paul wrote this letter. During his absence, Jewish teachers from Jerusalem professing to ',e Chris- tians had come in and caused much unrest ani trouble. Paul had preach- ed a gospel of freedom; demanded obedience to the Jewish law. Paul had i,romised a Rill salvation from sin and its bitter consequenct.s through faith in and faithfulness to the Lord Jesus Christ. This meant ;hat the customs and practices of the law were bot nec- essary to entrance into the kingdom of God. The Jew might continue to observe these customs of the old reli- gion; sacrifice, ane. vows, and purifi- cations, and holy days, and circumdi- sion, as Paul himself did and night find them helpful, but he would not force them anon the Gentile converts to the Christian faith. These Jewish teachers who followed Pc.ul, like those spoken of in Acts 15: 1 insisted on the law in every particular as necessary to salvation, and turned ninny cf the Galatirn converts to their way of thinking. Hearing of this Paul was greatly distressed. To him the differ- ence was vital, and affected the very essence of the gospel which he preach- ed. This Epi.:tle to the Galatian churches is his defence of Christian freedom. It is most weighty and authoritative. L THE RIGHT USE OP FREEDOM, 13-18. G. S. Crawfor'd,oditor of the London Review, Antiquity, to suggest a more sensible reason for the round -pot habit, one more nattering to the ancient patter's intelligence, His shape was chosen, this correspondent imagines, so that the pot would rest low and firmly on three stones or .other sup- ports when ,laced on the fire. Plat tables or floors were unknown articles in prehistoric times, Cooking was done over a lire, as by modern campers. Three stones, three lumps of earth, or even three pegs of green wood stuck into the ground, will hold a round - bottomed pot firmly and will seat its bottom well down into a small fire, whereas every modern camper knows how hard it is to keep a flat-bottomed coffee-pot or similar utensil o7 the fire at all without either smothering the fire underneath it or tipping over the pot. Insect Will Save Coffee Industry An epic battle between two in- sects, with the entire coffee industry of India for a prize, is about to begin. One of the insects contenders is look- ed ooked to as tite only possible help to mankind in saving this industry, for its enemy is an insect that invades and destroys the coffee berries on the bushes while man's ally is another insect that attacks and kills this des- structive one. 'Ilhe harmful one commonly called the coffee berry borer beetle, has been known for some time in the coffee plantations of Java. It is a tiny creature, less than an eighth of an inch long but exceed- ingly prolific. More than a hundred insects have been bred, it is reported, from eggs inside a single coffee berry. Recently this borer beetle was dis- covered in India. Inspection of the plantations has showed it to be pre- sent in about one-fifth of the fields. Wide spread of the pest probably would mean destruction of the coffee industry, or at least such enormous losses as would make world competi- tion impossible. Energetic steps have been taken to combat and restrict the invasion. An appropriation of approx- imately $140,000 has been invoked empowering Government agents to take over and operate coffee plan- tations which do not co-operate fully in the campaign, Chief reliance is placed, however, in the parasite of the borer beetle discovered in Java by Dr. Kunhi Kannan, eutomologist in charge of the protective campaign in Mysore. It is planned to breed enormous numbers of this parasite in- sect and liberate them in the infected plantations. The Jewish teachers who opposed themselves to Paul, and who, he says, are troubling the Gelation people and "would pervert the gospel of Christ" (1: 7), were endeavoring to bring the:.- new believers in Christ into "the yoke of bondage" of Jewish law and custom, 5: 1. Paul reminds those to whom he writes that they have found an all -sufficient salvation in and by «the faith of Jesus Christ" (2: 16), find exhorts them to stand fa in that Scientists Criticize Modern Parents II. FLESH AND SPIRIT, 19-26. "The work -of the flesh,' not under control of mans spiritual nature, ars' evil. This would no's be true if there were no spiritual nature, if man were simply one of the beasts, But. the real lean is spirit, not flesh. God made him in his own image, after his own likeness. His virtue, his health of beds).- and mind, his true life, lid in obedience to that godlike spirit in- structed by the Spirit of God. "But the fruit of the Spirit" is in all that is beautiful and good, in all that makes for man's highest well being, in every virtue and grace of life by which his likeness to God is made manifest. Moffatt's rendering of verses 22-23 is as follows: "But the harvest of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, good temper, kindliness, gener- osity, fidelity, gentleness, self-controi: there is no law against triose who practice such things." Paul would have Christian people remember that they belong to Christ. The Spirit of Christ must rule in them (see Romans 8: 9). It will be as though "the flesh with its affections and lusts" were dead in them, and they now walk in the way of the Spirit by which they live. Compare 2: 20 and Romans 8: 1-17.

MTF AND JEFF— By BUD FISHER (HA, HA HA;' H0, H4, 1-10..., "Parents Should Be Seen and Not Heard," Doctor Declares Modern parents were criticized by Dr. W. E. Blatz, of Toronto at the recent British Association meeting. He said:— "Few parents know how to bring up children, and it is difficult for them to learn. There are no university courses for the mothers, and very few good books. So mothers go for ad- vice to their own mothers, and conse- quently we have such doctrines pee petrated as "Spare the rod and spoil the child"—one of the most diabolical rules ever introduced into child train ing. "We have such rules as `Children should be seen not heard.' The re. verse should be the case. Parents should be seen and not heard. They should get out of the way of their children. " Talking about abnormal grown-ups Dr. J. A. Hadfield, of London said:— "Adult fears of Iife and death, of travelling, fears of the future and the past, are simply a revival of infantile fears. Character in the Making "A child who feels that he is being left out will go to his mother and say he is not feeling well, iu. order to get sympathy. That child is a potential case of hysteria." Most parents, Dr. Hadfield said, laid down certain objective ideals, such as obedience, consideration for others. truthfulness; but these ideals had their drawbacks. Between the ages of four and six a child was developing its own person- ality, It was not natural for it to bo considerate to other people, and to try to force consideration upon it was liable to do violence to its character. There was in children a natural tend• ency to self -assertiveness, particular• ly at the age of one and a half and two. A. child of two was generally a self -wiled character. That self-will was the raw material of its character. If it was rightly developed it would grow into a strong-willed adult. But to crush that will at the age of two was apt to lead to diaster. The child would develop into a perfectly good but also a perfectly futile adult. Even worse was when the attempt was made to crush a tendency which had actually developed.

A tomato eaten raw at breakfast is a wonderful skin tonic, clearing the complexion and removing spots. For whitening the skin, there is no bleach more successful than a raw tomato. Rub a out tomato over the face, neck, and arms, and note the result! For greasy skins, tomato juice com- bined with a few drops of lemon juice, is a good, inilcl astringent, and it is also an excellent remedy for enlarged pores. It should be nixed and bot- tled, and dabbed on with the fingers, especially round the nose and the cheekbones. Red Lights and Psychology A line of red electric lights mount- ed ounted flush with the roadway has been found more effective in stopving auto- mobilists to permit passage of cross traffic at intersections than the usual red light suspended overhead, accord- ing to British experimenters. When traffic is to be stopped these lights flash on, making a vivid red line across the street. Psychologists who have studied this odd human reaction assert that it re- quires more mental effort to deter- mine to cross this line of red than it does to ignore the overhead light in the absence of a traffic o'flioer. For this reason they contend that installa- tion of such a system would result in a saving of life. Kitty: And did you let him kiss you? Betty: Let him? I had to help him.
