A GREAT REFORM MOVEMENT, 2 Kings 23: 1-3, 21-25; 2 Chron. 34: 29-35: 19. • INTRODUCTION — We have, tri the story of JNiah, that comtination of forces which the world and the church I ave c.me to knav so well: he Man with 'pure hea-t, : i.;h pure ose, and gift of leadership, the Book inspired of Gocl, a2.d faith';ul Workmen, both artisans and ministers of the state and of religion, to carry its precepts into effect. To understand the situation in which Josiah found himself ir,the first twenty years of his reign one should read the story of Manasseh's reign in 2 Kings, chap. 21, aid of Josiah's sons who succeeded him on the throne, in 23: 31-24: 20. Or, bet- ter still, one should turn to certain .chapters of Jeremiah, whose ministry as a prophet in Judah began at this -time, and who sets forth with atarta ling clearness its allies and its vices (see chaps. 2, 5, and 7). I. FIRST STEPS IN WELL -DOING, 2 Kings 22: 1-7; 2 Chron. 34: 1-13. Both historian., and prophet speak well of Josiah (2 Kings 22: 1-2; 23: 25; Jeremiah 22: 15-16). "lie did that -which was right in the eyes of the• Lord." ' His character is in striking contrast to that of his father and grandfather, chap. 21. As a child of eight years he came to the throne at a tine when there appears to have been an uprising of "the people of the aand," people of the better sort, :against the corrupt court party which was r.sponsible for the murder of his father. For a time, and until he was old enough to bear the burdens of •,.tate, be must have been under the care of tutors and guardians, and they. did their duty well. His naturally good 'disposition was cultivated and strengthened. The historian of Chron- icles represents him as beginning his -work of reform "ir the eighth year of his reign," 2 Chron. 34: 1-7. In the eighteenth year his workmen ware busy at the temple nutting it into a state of repair. It had appar- ently been much neglected. It is a pleasure to read -of the good relations which existed between the king, the priests, and the workmen who "dealt faithfully." The money for the nec- essary material and for wages cane from the offerings of the people, and this money was put in the hands of carpenters and masons of whom no 'reckoning was required because they were known to he honest men.

And finally he revived, in an aminessive way, the sacred festival of the Pass - ever.. Froau Vegetable "Thinnings" ' ui g vegetables that are thinned Out 'in the garden to make room for the others should not be thrown away. Young carrots, onions, beetroots, and so .on may be used to make a de- licious vegetable soup; and Young. beetroots used with cold beans, let- tuce,- and et-tu.ce,:.and vinegar make an excellent salad, Boil the "thinnings" till ton - der, keeping them as whole as pos- sible, then cut up the lettuce and add with the beaus and the vinegar to the beetroot. Mix thoroughly, taking care not to break the beetroot. To use "thinned -out" onions and car- rots, clean and cut time onions, then scrub the carrots and shell some green peas. Scrape about a dozen small po-, tatoes, then place all together in boil- ing water and add a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Simmer until the vegetables are ready, then mix in a basin one tablespoonful of flour, a piece of margarine the size of a wal- nut, a little chopped parsley, .and a pinch of pepper. Slowly add sufficient stock to bring the mixture to the con- sistency of thick cream, stirring well all the time. Pour off the water from the vegetables, then pour the mixture over them. Ask the Conductor! First-aid cases, containing tooth- ache drops, eye salve, and cough mix- ture, are to be carried on all long-dis- tance buses in Poland, by order of the Traffic Ministry. People sent to prison on criminal charges in England during 1928 total- led 40,449! of these 6,026 were women. This is the lowest year's total on re- cord. Manufactured glass goods to the value of nearly $25,000,000 are import- ed into England every year, mostly from Germany, Belgium, and Czecho- Slovakia. 'Breather reports issued from the London Meteorological Office of the Air Ministry are based upon informa- tion suppled by about 600 observing stations in Europe and Western Rus- sia. The Dominions, Colonies, and India import manufactured goods worth more than $3,500,00,000, while the United Kingdom's total annual export of manufactured goods every year amounts only to $2,915,000,000. The money which "the keepers of the door• gathered of the people" came first into the hands if Hilkiah the higl. priest. It was "wl1en they brought out the money" rum the trees e that "Hilkiah, the priest, found +he book of the law," 2 Chron. :34: 14. In a safe place, in some hid- den recess of the treasure chamber or in the treasure chest, it had lain un- noticed and forgotten, for one knows not how many years. It was found now at the opportune moment. Com- ing into the. possession -r the king he regarded it from his first reading of it as the very word of God to him a-- ' to his people. He accepted it as his textbook of reform and in the years that followed he endeavored to put its laws into force. The book must have contained both recepts of. th. law and penalties for their non- observance. Josiah's first act upon reading it'was -e of penitence. Its lr.ws had not been kept. He and his people, like their fathers, were. guilty before God. He "humbled himself" as only a truly great man e uld have done, and his penitence brought to. him from Huldah, the prophetess, as- surance of the mercy of God. III. A GREAT REFORM MOVEMENT, 2 Kings 23: 1-3, 21-25; 2 Chron. 34: 29-35: 19. ' Josiah, under t1 -.J inspiration and guidance of this book, did three things, each of which must have had a far- reaching effect on the life of the na- tion,- He assem,led the elders of the people in Jerusalem, read to them the -words of the book, and entered with them into a .solemn covenant and en- gagement torkeep- what they now ac- cepted as the very laws of God. Next he had all idolatrous vessels taken out This Is the Life! Oh boy! This is the stuff.

By Marie Ann Best Last week we found out the average person of about 150 pounds will reduce. on 1220 Calories of food per day. • If your normal weight is more than 150. lbs., then you will need more Calories, on 1200 Calories of food per day. If duce. If you are small, 1000 may do. One lady I know cannot reduce until she goes down to 900 calories and her normal weight is 150 lbs., but that is unusual. Men seem to need More food than women, perhaps because wo- men are more angelic and therefore do not need so many calories? Child- ren need more than men or women ac- cording to their weight since they are building up their bodies, making bone, etc. Old people do not need as much. as any of us, for they are through building and are not so energetic. It shows that to a certain extent each person must study Ms or her own body performance and find out by systematically getting weighed faith- fully each weep just what has been accomplished., It seems necessary al- so to always get weighed on the same scales, for it is surprising how you will find no two scales weigh alike. One of your red letter days now will be weigh -day, you will not need to be reminded of it for it is a real pleasure to see the steady decrease chronicled on the scales. After you "Every girl likes a big check --plaid should be fashionable." ASK DAD, HE KNOWS Two modern little girls, on. their way home from Sunday School were solemnly discussing the lesson.

Spinach Jelly Salad 450 C. Without Mayonnaise e Shanghai, China, ---'the Chinese are becoming coufirnned amolcerj. Their favorite form of the "weed" is the cigarette, Although trade in. — iiTauy lines is almost completely paralyzed as a result of civil war, banditry and the drop in the money market, the to-, hacco dealers are doing bigger busi- ness that ever and are congratulating themselves on what appears to be a real change for the better, as far as they are concerned. During the mouth of Mareh the largest foreign cigarete manufacturing concern in China reported that sales reached the highest figure in history. Apparently the Chinese prefer to have their "smokes" even if they must cut down on necessities, Coolies who sup- port a family on only a few cents a day manage to buy cigarettes. For their convenience cigarettes of the 1200c very oheapast quality are made which sell at prices ranging from live for a cent to two and three cents a package of twelve. In Shanghai hundreds of small to- bacco shops boast of large daily turn- overs simply by selling cigarettes two at"fd three at a time. The Coolie must have his smoke along with his bowl of rice. Considering that there are 50,- 000,000 of his class in China the daily turnover would be enormous if each. bought one cigarette a day. Cigarete smoking has become national in China during the past 20 years. Foreign to- bacco concerns send their men into the remotest parts of the country where few white men have ever pene- trated and find an increasing market for their wares. And they seldom fall victim to kidnappers or bandits, for bandits are usually friendly with the men who bring then tobacco.

You look at last week's record, and find the scales are exactly the same to -day as last week. No they are actually a wee bit more. Oh, how disappoint- ing. Perhaps the average helpings of high caloried food grew imperceptibly a little larger. Yoit counted them the same in your note -book, but your body wasn't so lenient. It counted up cal- ories as well as any old electric meter and added a plus sign to every helping 11/4 a.h. 11/4 a.h. So don't unconscious- ly cheat yourself.

These birds are called Megapodes, because of their large feet. Most species lay their eggs in large mounds constructed of loose soil, leaves, grass, twigs, etc. Not infrequently the mounds are 10 or 12 feet in height and contain sev- eral wagon -loads of material. After the eggs are deposited they are Ieft to hatch out by the heat of the de- cayinw vegetable matter. The brush turkeys are the most common of the mound builders. One species of Megapodes, found in the Philippines and on other islands, lays its eggs in the sand on the seashore and leaves them to be hatched by the treat of the •sun.—"The Humane Pleader." Change Your Diet With the Seasons Advice about eating in hot weather is given as below in the London Daily Mail (Continental edition) by Sir W. Arbuthnot Lane, English surgeon acid President of the New Health Society. He writes: "If you want tb derive the maxi- mum health benefit from the summer weather you must pay particular at- tention to our diet. With the altered climatic conditions it is unreasonable to expect our body machine to run smoothly on the same quantity and quality of fuel as is necessary during winter. If you do not change your diet with the season you will find yourself listless, heavy, and inert—thoroughly. unfit, in fact—during the hot spells. "The basic principle of summer di- eting is to eat an abundance of fresh fruit and vegetables, fortunately plen- tiful and moderate in cost at this time of the year, and to substitute as far as possible dairy produre for flesh foods. Fruits and vegetables in the form of salads are very palatable and supply valuable mineral salts and the indispensable vitamins which have been relatively lacking in our winter. .diet. "For breakfast, coffee, wholemeal bread with butter and honey, an egg served attractively, and raw fruit salad make up a well-balanced and sustaining meal. For lunch, a large glass of milk with wholemeal biscuits and butter and a couple of apples or oranges are usually adequate while a cup of lepton tea will be found very refreshing in the afternoon. Cheese, eggs; or ground nut dishes with fish occasionally, along with fruit and vegetable, salads tastily prepared should form the basis of dinner. "Water should be taken abundantly between meals, as during the hot weather the skin is very active, losing large quantities of water to keep the body cool. Insufficient intake of fluid is liable to lead to intestinal stasis. In this connection it is well to remem- ber that the cellulose or roughage present in fruits and vegetables is mildly stimulating to the intestinal1 'function and is therefore the best laxative during spells of heat." Smart junior chooses feminized sports mode for town and vacation. It's a darling dress of vivid blue and white pique print, that is so thor- oughly practical. Little shoulder capes create' impres- sion of flared sleeves. A pert bow accents the cool open V -neckline. Circular godets or insets at either side of the straight skirt, provide a soft flared fulness and suggest Prin- cess lines. The smooth fitting hiplines makes it so entirely smart and sophis- ticated. A narrow belt nips the natural waistline. Style No. 2601 is designed for girls of 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 years. It's very inexpensive to copy. White sheer muslin with gay red dots is fetching. Yellow linen with bias binding in brown used to edge cape, hem and godets is ultra -chic. Pale blue candy stripe shirting and sprigged dimity in pink tones are at- tractive.

POLISHING TORTOISESHELL Tortoiseshell ornaments, and combs, may be polished by rubbing them' with pulverized charcoal and water, using a clean flannel cloth. Next moisten the article with vine- gar and rub with whiting and water, afterwards polishing with a soft' cloth. The arrival of theR-100 at her home base in England coincided with the test cricket match, in which the public seemed to be more interested. Here the news of its safe return was simi- larly blanketed by the Empire genies. It would appear that the love of sport is the most powerful passion that Eng- lish-speaking peoples have in com- mon. A Jew and a Christian were having• an argument about the ways of their respective races. "You people," said the Jew, "have been taking things from us all your, lives. The Ten Commandments, for. instance." "Well, yes," said the other, "we, took them from you all right, but soul can't say we've kopt them" MUTT AND JEFF— By BUD FISHER WCLL,ToDAY tS THC b Al we-- GoTVA PA`( oUR Room RaN1' Olt.
