All cold meats contain numbers of

Sound food often contains large
quantities of laacteria, so that we hab-

The servant iz this ease is of intense
nature, which every claim for service

ed for the ()nester he loves draws
hira closer in loyelty. Such men

are described in the next clause, He

timent's sake, or for the sake of some
dear 'friend, or from listlessness or

in so far as he "holds to the one" he
despiseeothe other, even though he be
not strongenough to shake off that
otlser's . Some such weak and
contradictory life Paul described when
be said, "With the mind I myself serve
the law of God, bue, with the flesh the
law of sin." But such experiences are
alevays steady "prooesses." Drifting,
thaugh aimless, ma.y. be as steady, and
sometimes as rapid, as steaming; and
even the alavirest an& least decisive soul
at length comes out on one side or
the other. In the hearts of some
woridlings a, distrust and disgust of
the world have arisen,and these lead
directly toward penitence and con-
version. Some formal servants of
Gosi who support his cause by their
purses, their lips, ance by other activi-
ties, in their hearts hate his holiness;
such a process leads directly toward. a
shipwreck of faith. Ye cannot serve God
and mammon. " Mammon " is a Syric
Word for riches, and ishere used as a
personificatioa of money; but it really
stands for anything a man confides in.
The text wenla be as true if we read
a,nibition or luxury in the place of
mammon, But how can we help, in
this -broad sense, serving mammon -We
who live in mammon's stronghold?
That question Paul asked, too, "0
wretched man that I am! who shall
deliver me from the body of this death?'
And. we eatswer as did he, "1 thank God
through Jesus Christ our Lord." We
are to live in this world with our cit-
izenship in heaven.

IS THE CORSET DOOMED.
Has the death knell of the corset
leen unag? Are the days of the fem-
inine corset of mail numbered?
At every fashionable function this
season, the Russian blouse in one or
another form is in evidence. The blaz-
er ansi the short jaeket are giving way
before it. Where either the one or the
ether is worn it is sure to be over
a dairity unclerwaest made with a R.use-
sten blouse front effect. At luncheon,
breakfastand dinner it is seen, and
even in full evening dress the blouse,
effect asserts itself. But there issome-
thing more to come, Is it the total
abolition of the corset.
Now, a well formed WOMDZI does not
need a. long, stiff, boned corset, under
this novel and pretty garment. Any
moderately slender soman can wear
it without a real corset:. She needs
only a,n undervatist well fitted to hex'
graceful mould of form. Even the
short French corset is unnecessary ex-
cept foe 'those whose adipose is decid-
edly pronounced.
The ribbon corset, -Motel' is really
only a bust supporter, is tbe only gar-
ment -if it can be so called-tbat is
iequired. This dainty little creation
allows full pl ity of the interoostal mus-
cles. ,and may juelly be hailed as the
