good for all of us, war or no war:
“Tonight the sun goes down.
The day is done!
Put down the load, whatever load

And come unburdened to your wait-

When sinks the sun.
Assertion is not argument; to con-

is not proof that you are correct.—

never be lost in later years. People
don’t read the Bible enough these
days.”
In every room of Mr. Ford’s home
in Dearborn, Mich., a Bible will be
found. During the first World War
President Wilson and Ford took a
pledge together to read a chapter in
the Bible every day. Wilson did it
until his death. Ford is still doing it.
There will be no ceiling upon pre-election prom-
ises of postwar aid made to the 10,000,000 men and
women in the armed services, many of whom, in other
States than Texas, will participate in the November
balloting. In these circumstances, it is not reasonable
for candidates, seeking power, to be expected to con-
sider the heavy debt and incident taxation that must
go along with subsidy, even of the worthy.
The cornerstone of any veterans’ relief plan, of
necessity, is employment, which the ex-service man
will desire most of all, but there will be an irreduc-
ible minimum of Government aid for those not find-
. ing employment and, certainly, those disabled in the
war. In this field will be found the playground for
candidates and parties before the November election.
Certainly, the majority of the civilian population, to
which Government and aspirants for office are re-
sponsive, are appreciative of the service, sacrifice and
hardships of our armed forces in this war, a dramatic
epic of patriotism that is accentuated by its back-
ground of a wartime boom on the home front. There
is something in the idea of “adjusted compensation”
for the men who are fighting this war and will re-
turn, fox’ equalizing, in dollars and cents, their status
with that of beneficiaries of war spending at home.
But civilians should not exalt their desire to “pay
off” the veteran of this war or his service to country,
because those making the greatest sacrifice will not
return to receive bonuses and jobs. From the stand-
point of the service man fighting on the war fronts,
the aid he desires most is not postwar benefits, but a
maximum effort now by the home front so that vic-
tory will be won speedily and the men who fight may
return home. Bluntly, promises for the future are
never so important as performances in the present,
and this applies particularly to the service of civilians

old customers to trade elsewhere and
occasionally old customers will move
and sometimes sickness and death
takes a hand, but the biggest loss of
old customers comes from either real
or imaginary grievances.
A big and sensible idea in any kind
of business is to always keep the old
customers satisfied and smiling.
When old customers discontinue buy-
ing at your place it is always a pre-
ventable loss. When old customers
begin spending their money with

Uncle Sam’s New Chef:
Uncle Sam has a new chef, Pierre
Bernard, who Has worked on appe-
tites in Newport, New York, Chicago,
London, Paris, Rome and many other
places, turned up yesterday in the
Navy Department with his chef’s cap
on. Employed to lend an ultra touch
to all meals served in the Navy cafe-
teria in Washington, he had worked
only an hour when he had the wait-
resses throwing kisses at all the food
being served. His first shot was
Salisbury steal ’which is nothing but
plain hamburger meat. Pierre’s aim
is to make a 35c lunch taste like a
$2.50 meal.

This Might Help:
A friend of mine in Paris who has
lived through the scares of war and
has spent endless nights in shelters
writes that she is rather downhearted
and that she fears she may be losing
some of her determination to take
things as they come and make the
best of them.
When her letter was answered
retary Ickes Monday restored to pri-
vate control mines of 53 companies
which he had been operating as coal
administrator for the Government
since May 1.
Some of the mines turned back
had suffered an interruption in pro-
duction by “work stoppage,” Ickes
said, indicating that they might have
contracts with John L. Lewis’
United Mine Workers. Department
officials, however, would give no im-
mediate clarification on this point.
An advertisement in The Star-Telegram, appealing
for purchase of war bonds, contrasts two types of an-
guish among civilians in wartime in the following
statement: “Beware of that man who has no heart-
aches for the sufferings of war, but only a bellyache
for what it costs.”
The warning, roughly, divides people into two
classes. One is the group that suffers grief ^ind anxiety
over the fact that men are dying and enduring incred-
ible hardship in the service of their country, and to
them should be added those with compassion for the
suffering people of China and Europe. The other
group consist^ of those who complain about the cost
of war, the deprivation of gasoline and other useful
commodities forced upon them in the emergency, and
other innumerable “hardships” that afflict civilians.
Sone of the lattei- group, as self-styled constructive
critics, insist their hearts’ ache is for the sufferings of
war, but an answer to their contention is that genuine
grief is not manifest by complaints and self-pity. The
sorrow of those civilians who bemoan their lot in this
war is not the same as that in the hearts of those who
do not know whether sons, brothers and other rela-
tives overseas are living or dead, or of those who al-
ready have received bad news. In fact, the two oppo-
site types of civilians live in different worlds, and each
is a stranger to the other.
Our young men in uniform who endure the ‘real
hardships of this war do not wish our pity and sym-
pathy, only our help and cooperation. Nor do the
troubled relatives at home ask pity. Only the group
that finds tragedy for itself in inconveniences and
minor deprivations cries aloud its resentment.—Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.

Henry Ford:
Whatever you may think of Henry
Ford you will likely be interested in
knowing that he reads the Bible
every single day. The famous in-
dustrialist says:
“I like the Bible and old hymns.
It is a love that was instilled in me
by my mother who was devoutly re-
ligious. Every Sunday we had hymn
singing and Bible reading in our
humble home. Religion should be
taught in every school in America. It
would give every student a feeling of
reverence and set of ideals that can

NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Facts
“which every child should know”
about alcohol as a drink were sum-
marized at the School of Alcohol
Studies at Yale University by Dr.
Haven Emerson, one of the outstand-
ing authorities on public health, as
follows:
“The effect sought and found from
the use of alcoholic beverages of any
strength is due to ethyl alcohol.
“Ethyl alcohol is a narcotic drug
which removes inhibitions by de-
pressing the functions of the brain.
“Its use has not been found to im-
prove any of the bodily functions of a
healthy person.
“It is in no respect useful or nec-
essary as a food for healthy persons.
“Its use tends to increase disease
and accidents and contribute to
shortening the length of life.
“It has a particularly harmful ef-
fect on persons without mature and
stable nervous systems, and persons
constitutionally inferior, the very
kind of youth and adults who tend to
become addicted to alcohol as a way
of escaping from their social and
economic limitations.”
