Proverbs 14 : 34. OVERALLS IN CHURCH When a little Methodist church at Trion, Georgia, voted to adopt an official garb of overalls and printed cotton dresses for its Sunday services hereafter, it took b. ,very gracious and exceedingly' literal interpretation o'f the Golden Rule. There are many poor people in , the church. Probably most of them would like to attend the services in fine clothes it's a perfectly huriian desire, but a lot of the people in this .Georgia church had to wear overalls or cotton dresses because .they possessed no other clothes. ' Arid the congregation, .in voting to make these garments the regular thing for Sunday morning wear, m,ust have had Jn mind that passage from tho Bible in which going into the presence of God in shining raiment is mentioned; for that passage, of coursej refers to things of the spirit, not of the flesh, and overalls and cotton dresses can qualify very easily. The step makes one feel'.tliiijt .these people in this small town church must be both friendly and evel-headed. yhoy are going to have, in their not overly prosperous church, 'a sense of fellowship and good understanding that many a cathedral, with stained-glass windows, rhythmic cadences of organ, and choral music and nymy candles has sought and never found. ' ! The story of the widow ind her mite has always been one of the best-loved stories in the New Testament Something of that spirit seems to have prompted this action about the overalls and print dresses. And it may be that the li,tUe southern church, where the men wear blue denim 'and the women wear their third-best gowns, just because they don't want the poorer members to feel badly, will live longer in the moratory than some churches that are wonders of ma sonry and architecture. : For the world, calloused though it sometimes seems, has a habit of appreciating sincerity 'and humility. - are the pneumonia germs discovered in 1888 by Fraenkel and. Wclcnscl baum; ' " Tbcso germs, though belonging to one large class and having cer tain common, characteristics, differ In variety. Pneumonia germs aro classified In to four different groups; the first three groups each have fairly definite characteristics while . . the " fourth group contains a large, and as yet Incompletely classified, collection of pneumonia germs. LIVING MORE INTENSELY The tempo of American life rises and the nervous tension of the American people tightens with the increasing velocity of production, business and living. Modern' devices to hurry up the body, intensify the emotions and accelerate the mind have come, into general use. Business works a network of telephone and telegraph wires. Automatic bookkeeping ma chines, typewriters and card indexes enable individuals to control .vast areas of industrial operation, involving billions of dollars. Even in the homo and on the farm, electrifica tion and the gasoline motor have quickened the pace. . Emotionally the nation is ever under high pressure. The motion picture compresses into two hours the whole range pf human adventure and excitement for thousands. The radio is concentrating millions on one thought and at one time. Huge stadiums throughout the country gather witli ease and safety crowds numbered in hundreds of thousands, permitting them to enjoy the magnetic thrill of concentrated mass emotion. AU this speed and size is an accepted part of the atmos phere of the American city. It causes people unconsciously to quicken their pace and to feel themselves part of a huge confederation of success. Is itany wonder that "high-voltage" temperaments are becoming so common? TIME TO SPEND : If people who are in a reasonably secure situation eco nomically would quit being scared and would use their money sensibly, and in accordance with their needs and resources as they have in other years, they would be a biff help to the country in its effort to "snap out" of the doldrums. If you have the money, go out and "spend a dollar" for some thing you need and help industry to get off the dead center and start steaming along again on the road to prosperity. Then go out and repeat the process as your pocketbook' permits. X Health ! MM'EMOXf A 'sir William Oslor. who died of pneumonia In 1D20, wrote of this disease In his famous text uoolc on medicine to the effect that It may be called "the friend of the aged." For "taken off by It In an acute, sharp, not often painful Illness the old escape those cold gradations of decay that mako the last stage of alt no distressing." - In a less cheerful vein he goes on to describe Uie condition as "one of the most widespread and fatal of all acute diseases." j Pneumonia has of late become the captain of the men of death, dls- plachiK tuberculosis. rnoumonln, however, 1b not a dis unite confined to the nued. It is. in fact, a very serious menace to the young. Predisposition to pneumonia up to tho sixth year of ape Is marked. It is lens common from 6 to lli but Its prevalence Increases with j each decade thereafter. I Pneumonia has for a long time I challcnued medic til science, and mon- ! ti mental work has been done and Is being done In hospitals and research ' laboratories throughout the world In; the effort to master this hyju-heiui- j ed monster. i The term pneumonia In Itself In dicates nothing more than an In flnmmatlon. however, may be caused 1 by a wide variety of agent tnchut-1 lug many different kinds of germs.

' The Blue Mountain Skt club was organized at Meacham at a meeting held Wednesday evening, and hence forth tho club will have charge of tho ski trail and toboggan slides at tho top of the Blue mountains.
