ls that men love to do evll rathei' than
good; they 'are worldly, lovers of
pleasure more than lovers of God.
This ls the -reason why -many people

be that when they do go you and oth-

not feel comfortable when they -are

nlsh Diet is reported to have declar.
ed that Finland wants a. republic
and nothing. else. We can readily
understand that whatever Finland
really wants lt is not a Czar or li
Kaiser. ln the meantime, thc White
Guards hold tho fort. Russian sol-
diers _having failed to do any better
in Finland than elsewhere. But
Flland has come to the conclusion
that she has merely exchanged Klug
Log for King Sotork. Her people
arc stuirvlng. They have sent a com-
mission to the United States to ask
for help and particularly for food.
The delegates iidinlt that they won
their independence through the help
of Germany, but appear to be chlld-
lsh enough to hellove that German
authorlty ls about to be withdrawn
from the country, -and that ‘lt will
have 'the Kal-sei"-s betnodlctlon as ll.
starts out on its career of independ-
ence. From which we gather 'that
after Uncle Slim has listened toithis
story, he will tllouglifully shift hls
quid and ask the last delegate -not to
slam the door as he goes out. '

You want a healthy
summer tan. But some-
times you (get it too
quickly an then there
is a few days of suffer-
ing. " '
The application of
Dr. Chase’s Ointment
takes out the stinging
and burning and leaves
the skin delightfully
_ soft and smooth
_ Because it is equally
effective in relieving
stings of insects and ivy
poisoning as well _as
chafing _and skin irrit-
ations it is invaluable
in the summer camp. __
