Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen.—Matthew 0.9:13. Meditative self-knowledge is the true school of reverence, of sympathy, of hope, and of immovable humility; for there we see, side by side, what we are, and what we ought to be; for there, too, we meet, spirit to spirit, the Almighty Holiness that lifts us to Himself. —James Martineau. PATERNALISM IS A BAD GENERAL POLICY. Tendencies toward government paternalism is this country should be decried. They are not wholesome. The influence is bad. No class or group is benefited, in the long run, through paternalistic measures of special government aid. The whole aim and object of government, in these things, should be to so legislate and so to administer government as to give each and every class and group fair and open chance to progress and prosper on its own initiative. Give all classes and groups a clear field, but leave them to work out their own ends. Self help is the best for all—for individuals and for groups. Paternalism leads, ultimately, to chronic despondency—a state little better than pauperism. It is not consistent with pride or with those self-reliant virtues which are the glory of the Mypical American character. Some ring the door bell and then impatiently or timidly run away before Opportunity has chance to open the door. PROSPERITY IS GREATER IN EUROPE Economic conditions in Europe are improving, substantially and generally. This is the reassuring intelligence given by Basil Miles, American administrative commissioner of the International Chamber of Commerce, stationed at Paris. The economic betterment is gradual, but widely extended. Trade balances are favorable in France, Egypt and Czecho-Sloyakin. In the British Empire the "general posture of trade looks distinctly better," despite temporary increase in unemployment in Italy, business seems not only to prosper "but to reach out with energy and enterprise into new fields." Recovery of railways under reorganized management "shows amazing results. The working of the Dawes plan in Germany "seems to continue its successful upward trend." This is good news indeed—welcome news to America. As Europe recovers, economically, its strength in foreign commerce becomes greater. Buying and selling, by this country, across the Atlantic, are at stake in the economic status of Europe. With betterment in conditions over there, corresponding betterment in commercial intercourse between this country and European nations is sure to ensue. There is strong and encouraging indication that the rehabilitation of Europe is begun in earnest and that salutary results therefrom will be reflected in this country. INCOME TAX PAYMENTS SHOW THRIVING Go to Rex B. Goodcell, Collector of Internal Revenue, headquarters at Los Angeles, and be assured that Southern California experienced its greatest prosperity during the year 1924. There was an increased production of income, the tax returns show. There has been a large increase of population in this section. And there is abundance of money in circulation in this section. Income tax payments are a reliable barometer of general conditions. When there is general prosperity there are healthy incomes, more persons are subject to income tax and there is greater volume of tax payments. If conditions were not prosperous the reverse would be the case. Prosperity is surely reflected in income tax returns. Likewise adversity. Quite encouraging is the status of this Southland, as denoted by the volume of taxes paid on incomes. This evidence is unmistakable and indisputable. It covers the entire calendar year 1924. While there were untoward circumstances and conditions, for a portion of last year, yet the record for the whole year overwhelmed the adverse with the thriving conditions.

Tryger and other officials spokemen warned the electors in solemn speeches that were still clouds upon the European horizon; that the arden pursued ideal of the League nations—world peace—lay remote in the future. They also warned of new dangers threatening Sweden's national security from the proposal of Danish government to disarm Danish nation completely, subsequently the report that "Let" government of Norway planning a similar step made sense even keener. For Denmark, as one of the great powers, has her prestige and national security to maintain. Hjalmar Branting, however does not share these forebodies. His whole life has been devoted two objects—the amelioration of the conditions of the world classes and the attainment of Social Democratic dream of universal peace by universal standing. For more than 28 years since 1886, when the Swedish Democratic party was formed—in a large part through the initiative of Branting himself—artistic breaker of lance the inarticulate masses has ed unceasingly and with a optimism for the realization of ideals. Hjalmar Branting, though realist, was also a dreamer trip abroad (before 1882) but into touch with socialism returned with an inner flame a quenchless enthusiasm. From that time on young ing's career was violently deflected from the life of a student and man of ing into the malestrom of pity. He became (1884) one of theitors of Tiden, a pioneer founded by K.

HAS NEW METHOD OF COLLECTING COLUMBUS GROVE, O., March 21.—A unique method for collecting outstanding water and electric light bills has been devised by the Board of Trustees of Public Affairs here. Instead of resorting to the old plan of sending out monthly statements, or turning off water or current, the Board permitted uninterrupted service. But when the delinquent consumers went to the County Treasurer's office recently to pay their taxes they were informed that they would not be given receipts unless they paid their taxes and water and light bills in full to the County Treasurer. The Board has made the bills a lien against the property of the consumers. Some of the bills covered a period of eight or ten months. Without success, taxpayers protested of offered all manner of excuses to D. R. Hinkle, County Treasurer. WIFE SIGNS BILL TO CLEAR HUSBAND AUSTIN, Tex., March $1.—Governor Miriam A. Ferguson today affixed her signature to the bill passed by the state legislature granting amnesty to her husband, James E. Ferguson, restoring him the right to hold political office and removing from the record the decree of impeachment entered on the state senate sitting as a high court or impeachment on Sept. 25, 1917.

HEALTH AND DIET ADVICE By Dr. Frank McCoy Author of "THE FAST WAY TO HEALTH" FRUITS (Continued) ACID FRUITS CONTINUED. NECTARINES are a variety of the common peach, but contain more acid and do not have the same tendency to produce dysentery. FRESH PEARS have only a small amount of acid and contain more sugar than any other element. They do not combine well with other food, and make a very agreeable meal by themselves. ORANGES. ORAPEFRUIT AND LEMONS supply a plentiful amount of citric acid and in such quantities that they should never be used with a regular meal. Contrary to popular opinion, these fruit juices combine well with milk only. They may be used just before milk is taken or they may be mixed with milk. The juice of these three fruits may be mixed together, as they contain essentially the same elements, and the only acid contained in them is citric acid. No other fruits can be mixed together in this way. In addition to the citric acid, grapefruit also contains organic quinine. A large proportion of this is in the skin and may be extracted easily by the following method: Cut a medium sized grapefruit into small pieces, skin and all. After this has been done put it in an enameled pan or crock and pour over it one quart of boiling water. Allow to stand at least thirty minutes. The juice from this may be taken during a fast, especially to stimulate the liver, and is particularly indicated in the treatment of all kinds of colds. The bitter taste arises from the organic quinine, which will have a quicker effect than the inorganic form of quinine used in tablet form, without any of the bad consequences. It is so valuable in its action upon the liver and gall bladder in the elimination of gall stones, and those who have such tendencies should occasionally miss a meal and drink a quart of this grapefruit juice.

A Class Ad will get TUESDAY, MARCH 31, 1925 COMMENTS of the PRESS What Editors Are Saying CONSERVE WATER OF STATE—Santa Barbara News During the winter storms in Northern California, a stream of water 1000 feet wide and twenty-five feet deep for days pooled down the channel of the Sacramento river. In the low lands west of that river a stream four miles wide and from four to ten feet deep flowed sluggishly to the sea. These conditions continued for a long period. During this flood enough water went to waste to provide simple irrigation for all available land in the Sacramento and San Joaquin and Santa Clara valleys. But there was no system by which it could be saved. Precious water which a few months hence would have been of untold value was a menace to property, and a source of trouble and expense. It poured through the valley channels and by-passes to run to waste in the ocean. This is not an unusual condition. In fact it is quite a common occurrence. For years the problem of what to do with the waste flood waters has been solved by the expedient of providing run-off channels and building levees to protect the farms, but the water was wasted. At last the best informed men on water in this state have awakened to the necessity of some constructive measures to save and make use of this water by means of a system of storage reservoirs along the rim of the great valleys and in the mountains. Backed by these men, a measure is pending in the legislature appropriating $500,000 for study of the water resources of California and the investigation of reservoir sites. It is doubtful if the work can be done thoroughly for this sum, but it is a good start. This measure has received the endorsement of farmers and business interests in both Northern and Southern California. It represents the best and most constructive step ever taken for the conservation of the state's vast wasting water resources. There are more than 12,000,000 acres of land in California of high quality and capable of irrigation which is nearly worthless without water. The products of these lands will be worth countless millions to the state when brought under irrigation. Nothing should be permitted to delay the movement to make our waste waters available for dry lands. PRODUCE MARKET IN WINDY CITY CHICAGO, March 30. — Food stuffs from a good portion of the world will in a few months find a new home in the Central West Hundreds of workmen now are engaged in laying the reinforced concrete foundations of what will be one of Chicago's greatest projects—the new Produce Market.

Forced from their old home along the south bank of the river by the great South Water street widening plan, more than 300 firms organized to establish themselves in new quarters. A site was selected on the near west side of the city and late this year six buildings, covering six blocks, will be ready for business. The structures will be of concrete, reinforced with more than 2,000 tons of rail steel reinforcing bars, and will be three stories high. It is declared that with this modern equipment for handling produce more than $10,000,000 will be saved yearly. Refrigerator cars will be run into the buildings on a multitude of tracks and a great refrigerating plant will provide the temperature needed to keep fruit, vegetables, poultry and other farm produce in the finest condition. Two of the building will be 840 feet long and four others will be 575 feet in length. The entire cost is estimated at $17,000,000. JUNK STREET CARS PHOENIX, March 31.—Phoenix trolley system, 39 miles long, will be abandoned and junked, according to announcement today of officials.

CHINA SLOW TO TAKE UP USE OF THE TELEPHONE If the Chinese could be persuaded to use the telephone as much in their native land as they do in America, the demand for service would be insatiable. In San Francisco's Chinatown there is a special Chinese telephone exchange housed in a pictureque pagoda. Thirteen Chinese operators are kept busy handling Chinatown's telephone calls, which average about 11,000 a day. American enterprise has developed this Chinese telephone trunk in San Francisco, but in the Celestial Republic itself all business moves slowly and the growth of the telephone system is very gradual. A POSTLY JITNEY The law Canadian Sys olf place has cost the Bell Telephone Company of Canada the sum of $50,000.

ARREST HERMOSA BEACH TRUSTEES HERMOSA BEACH, March 31. The local political war came to a head here with arrest of Trustees Frederick Piner and Louis Heath on charges of misconduct in office. The trustees were held under $500 ball pending a hearing. Piner is accused of being "unlawfully interested in certain contracts of the city," while Heath is charged with selling the city certain articles from a firm of which he was general manager. A proof to stand the endurance test THINK! "We do not content ourselves with the life we have in ourselves and in our own being; we desire to live an imaginary life in the mind of others, and for this purpose we endeavor to shine. We labor unceasingly to adorn and preserve this imaginary existence, and neglect the real. And it we possess calmness, or generosity, or truthfulness, we are eager to make it known, so as to attach these virtues to that imaginary existence. We would rather separate them from ourselves to join them to it; and we would willingly be cowards in order to acquire the reputation of being brave." Man has not changed materially in the three centuries since Blaise Pascal wrote the above, and it is as true today as in 1625. It seemed to Huxley that there is no alleviation for the sufferings of mankind except veracity of thought and of action, and the resolute facing of the world as it is when the garment of make-believe by which pious hands have hidden its uglier features is striped off. Thought constitutes the greatness of man. He is obviously made to think. It is his whole dignity and his whole merit; and his whole duty is to think as he ought. The order of thought, as given by the philosophers, is to begin with self, and with its Author and its end. But of what does the world think? Never of this, but of Coue, cross-word puzzles, jazz, radio programs, baseball schedules, doings in Hollywood; of making oneself king without thinking what it is to be a king and what to be a man.
