Ray, him self, hasn't the records to show how often he has beat 4.20 in the mile. f Ray's record Is just anotber link In the chain that proves that modern athletes are greater than those of earlier days- WAR SERVICE US RECITED As was stated yesterday In The Observer tho dominant aim; of this week's nation-wide campaign of the Lutheran church anions its adher ents for a minimum fund of $750, 000 for Soldiers' and Sailors' Wel fare, is personal service to tho men under arms. It is a work that has received the specific endorsement of President Wilson, of Secretaries Maker and Daniels, and of many Governors and Congressmen. Chairman Fos dick, of tho "Kosdick Commission." says of it: "Work of this kind Is most serviceable anil I can assure you of the hearty cooperation ol the Commission on Training Camp Ac tivities." .(,, John R. Mott, General Secretary of tho Y. M. C. A., and one of tho ! great Christian world statesmen of this generation, has lately most forcibly and most truly declared: with reference to this work: "Our camps need laymen and pas tors just as much n3 our towns do. Tho Yy M. C. A. is a body of lay men: Commissioned and volunteer chaplulns are pastors. Together tliev represent tho church. Jloth are indispenslble to our . Army and Navy. They should seek in every way in their poweu to support each other. The Association cannot per form tho functions of the pastor. Its desire and purpose Is to strength en the hands of the pastors it: every way In Its power.'.' In harmony with this view, it Is the de3ire of the Lutheran War Com j misf inn, as of the other denomina tions engaged in similar activities, i to put to the ruHe.1t and most efri 'cient use for the personal spiritual - ------- , -T- --?t?3PBw.(5; , eclianical Power must fill up thd gaps left by the withdrawal of men and horses from the ranks of the, agricultural army. Tho United States Department of Agri culture estimates, as a result of a thorough canvass, that M-l,: ST I farm tractors were working on American farms during the vear 3917. ' Let us remember there are battles on the farm lands as important as those at the front. Let ns remember the silent heroes fighting the battle of food production on many a farm the young men have left to serve the flag. Yet the older men and the women are meeting the crisis with the aid of the farm tractor, LA GRANDE IMPLEMENT CO. K. S.

Millions have been spent to pro vide buildings njid equipment for j social, recreational and religious I activities In the camps. Every camp has Its Y. M. C. A. huts, "the touch j of homo that goes with the men." (ill nearly 70 camps there nro the halls of the Knights or Columbus. ;The Fosdlck Commission Is vigor ously pushing the erection or sold iers' clubs, camp theatres, and com- !"iunlty halls. The conviction is rising to the forerront among well informed men that building and equipment facil ities are ample, that the great need bit present is consecrated man-power of the highest type to inspire the ! men with tho colors by their pres ence and by their service. At a con j Terence in New York City recently, I Mr. Ward, the Y. M, C. A. man, I made the statement: "We have enough buildings to tuko pare of any emergency. We need men. And if we don't get them, or don't get the biggest type, our buildings will be of little use." The National Lutheran Commis sion has aimed to add to tho inan 'power In the camps that is working to maintain the spiritual values. It has canvassed the church to get the men best fitted for tho work. In many cases I hey were serving, large congregations. Their congregations were persuaded to release them or give tin m a furlough because the work with the Army was considered more Important than any work of the church at present. I'rof. Charles .M. Jueobs. D. n., of Mt. Airy Sem ; Innry, Philadelphia, I'a.. stated the I sentiment of the Church recently. Me said: "Any one who is not willing to j make any, even the greatest sacri fice, personal or material. In this j emergency Is committing the sin of ' the centuries." j The personal service In tho camps ; has meant much to tho men In icamp, to the mothers and rut hers at 'home. One camp pastor writes: ! "The work here is moving along niott satisfactorily. Tim fwn ini ! churches have appointed a Joint committee nr men who nro backlmr ! nic to a man. We have opened our recreatmn rooms and have them : equipped with furniture, stationery, reading matter and games, with smoking material In addition.

Certain articles of diet tend to check movemonts of the bowels. Tho most common of these nro choeso, tea and boiled milk. On the other hand raw fruits, especially apples and ban anas, also graham bread and whole wheat bread promote a movement of tho bowels. When the bowels are badly constipated, however, the sure way is to take ono or two of Cham berlain's Tnblcts immediately aftor supper. Adv.
