CRAMPS, PAINS AND BACKACHE St. Louis Woman Relieved by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound St. Louis, Mo. —“I was bothered with cramps and pains every month and

had backache and had to go to bed as i could not work. My mother and my whole family always took Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for such troubles and they induced me to try it and it has helped me very much. I don’t have cramps any more, and I can do

my housework all through the month. I recommend your Vegetable Compound to my friends for female troubles.” — Mrs. Della Scholz, 1412 Salisbury Street, St. Louis, Mo. Just think for a moment. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has been in use for nearly fifty years. It is prepared from medicinal plants, by the utmost pharmaceutical skill, and superior methods. The ingredients thus combined in the Compound correct the conditions which cause such annoying symptoms as had been troubling Mrs. Scholz. The Vegetable Compound exercises a restorative influence of the most desirable character, correcting the trouble in a gentle but efficient manner. This is noted, by the disappearance, one after another, of the disagreeable symptoms, THIS MAN WAS HELPED John Grab, 2539 Jackson Ave., New Orleans. La., writes: “My kidneys were weak and had a soreness and dull pain across my back. I felt dull and languid and my kidneys didn't act right. I began taking Foley Kidney Pills and they soon put my kidneys in a sound healthy condition.” Foley Kidney Pills help the kidneys rid the system of acids and waste that cause lameness, backache, sore muscles, swollen joints and rheumatic pains. Tonic in effect, quick in action.

LESSON FOR APRIL 2 ASA RELIES ON GOD LESSON TEXT—H Chronicles 14:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT—HeIp us. O I-ord our God, for we rest on Thee —Il Qhron. 141 L REFERENCE MATERIAL-11 Chron. 14:13-14, Isa. 41:10-13. PRIMARY TOPIO-A King Who Trusted God. JUNIOR TOPIC—God Helping Asa. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Ruler Who Relied on God. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Source of Personal and National Power. I. Asa’s Reformation (vv. 1-5). Asa was the grandson of Rehoboam, Both his grandfather nnd father favored Idolatry, but In spite of this record of his ancestors, Asa had a will of his own, unu though young when he came to the throne, inagurated a campaign of reform which brought great good. He not only had the handicap of the idolatry and im- | mortality fostered by the two former kings, but he had to contend against | the influence of his mother who had encouraged immoral worship (I Kings 15:18). In order to carry out his re- I formatory measures he had to wrest authority from her by deposing her. Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the Lord (v. 2). 1. Cleared the land of idolatrous emblems and Images (vv. 3,5). (1) Strange altars. These were the altars devoted to other gods. (2) High places. These were places where unlawful sacrifices were offered. (3) Broke down the images. These were upright stones connected with idolatrous worship. (4) Cut down the groves. These were trees or poles connected with tree worship. He had all these relics of idolatry destroyed in Jerusalem and other cities throughout his kingdom. 2. Commanded Judah to seek the Lord (v. 4). He knew that if the reformation was to be effective it must be by the positive seeking after and worshiping of God, accompanied by obedience to His commandments. Destructive work avails little unless followed by constructive. 11. Asa’s Defensive Preparations (vv. 6-8). 1. Built fortified cities (v. 6). The cities are not named, but’the meaning, doubtless, is that it was a general sys- ' tern of defense which involved the cities at strategic points. 2. He erected walls about the cities (v. 7). These were usually of stone. Upon the walls were observation towers from which the position and movements of the enemy could be seen, and from which defensive warfare could be waged. 3. Made gates and barred them (v. 7). The reason he assigns for these defensive preparations was that ; they had sought the Lord God. Those I who really trust God will make every effort to provide defense. 4. Had an army of spearmen (v. 8). These spearmen were also protected | with large shields. The army was 1 made up of 480,000 brave men. They | were prepared to wage an offensive as well as a defensive war. 111. Asa's Victory Over Zerah, the Ethiopian (vv. 9-12). 1. Asa set the battle in array (v. ' 10). He went out to meet the enemy. I He first mode a disposition of his means of defense. This was wisdom on his part. Intelligent faith moves | the possessor to do first that which 1 is within his power. • 2. Asa's prayer (vv. 11, 12). He cried unto the Lord. He, sought the source of national power. In thia prayer note (1) his conscious)helplessness. As he faced the Egyptian army two to one against him, he was clearly conscious of bls Impotency. ‘The first ' requisite in obtaining help (from God | is conscious weakness. The Christian conquers not by self-reltanne, but by self-distrust and faith in G«»d. (2) Appeals to God for help. He (knew that though they were helpless-before the mighty enemy, with God's, help they i could win the victory. One man with God is a majority. (3) Reposes faith in God. The word “rest” means to lean upon—to cast “the entire weight upon. In the measure that we realize our need of support will we lean hard upon God. (4) Advanced courageously. He went forth depending upon God to fight for’him. Real faith does not wait until it sees its way clear, but goes forth,expect!ng God to , clear the why. (5) 1- lung himself . upon God's arms. “O Lord, thou art ' our God.” His cause was God’s cause, j If God has taken us for His people, and if we have taken Him for our God, no enemy can prevail! against us. May we experimentally say, “Thou art my God,” and hear Hinn say, “I am thy God 1” 3. The Egyptians ■ smitten (v. 12). I The enemy fled beforie Isreal and could I not recover tnemselves. Love, Faith arid' Hope. A little love’from'day to ,; driy,-i and strength enough to preach flit; a glimpse of heaven,along'the wayAAnd faith and hope to'reach It Console Thyself. If thou suffer injustice,; console'thyself, the true unhapplnesfe is In doing It. —Democritus. i Mistake Gold for Good.

®TiiE ® American LEGION (Copy for Thia Daparimant Sappli.a tn» American iAflon N.w. Service.)

LEGION'S GENUINE ‘CAVE MAN' Parlee Grose, Buckeye Soldier, Specializes on Underground Exploration—Saye "It’* th* Llf*.”

Remarkably few newly married cou pies ever think of settling down in a

little cave In the Ozark mountains. And yet Parlee C. Gross of Me Comb, 0., says that eaves are much warmer than apartments and farmhouses. They are also much cheaper. When Gross, who te * magazine writer connected with the

V x-. £SSm. > .-a’

See-America-First movement, returned ito McComb from an exploration of the celebrated Ha Ha Tonka region in the Ozarks, he didn’t understand why his American Legion post hadn’t picked out a nice ripe cave for its quarters. He said cave life was the only life. He has become not only a eave admirer, but a cave connoisseur as well, and In appreciation of his exploration achievements, officiate have named an interesting geological fornation which he discovered “Gross’s J Giant Gnome.” The American Legion at McComb Is proud of its genuine “cave man” —particularly proud of the fact that he has been selected as one of the members of a party to penetrate the unknown regions of Wyandotte Cave of Indiana and the Great Onyx Cave of Kentucky. DENVER LEGION* BOOSTS HER Miss Edith Adams, Beautiful Actress, as Genuine as the Centennial State’s Mountain*. Members of the American Legion In Denver testify that all the ex-soldier

talent this side of tlie Rockies does not compare with a good ■ looking girl, when it comes to putting ‘ on a show. They are gradually coming to this conclusion—being some few years behind Broadway ; managers, who discovered the secret several sum-

mers ago by reading old Egyptian and Syrian manuscripts. legionnaires in Denver didn't breathe any of this to Miss Edith Adams when j they asked her to join their show, because. after all, they don't like to admit it except in plenary session, with newspaper men excluded. But the rumor is that Miss Adams knew it anyway. The particular thing about Miss j Adams which her legion friends are ; proud of is that she doesn’t "flap.” The foibles of the eastern debutante I fail to interest them (or their audience) when they can find an amateur actress “as genuine as their own Coli orudo mountains,”

USED THE GOLD BRICK CURE “Treatment” Ended Many Cases of Flat-Feet, Semi-Blindness and Other "Defects.” A gold brick which made the lame to walk and the blind to see is told of by Capt. P. H. McCarthy, Development Battalion No. 1, Fort Benjamin Harrison, Ind., who gets the credit for introducing the term "gold brick” Into the army during the war. The unwillingness of certain recruits to submit to "development” brought the brick into play. Innumerable cases of flat-feet, semiblindness, and other ailments were continually reported by reluctant soldiers at the camp. It was up to Captain McCarthy to discover whether these were ailments or alibis. When the medical profession failed, the brick got In its work. The soldier would be handed the gold article-and told to go about as he pleased, free from drill, hikes, labor of any kind, but he must carry the brick. When he’saw an officer he must hold the brickfout with the left hand and salute withithe right. The sick man was Invariably back drilling with his outfit the second day. Flat feet and cold ones alike were cured. Foch Sets Himaelf in "Movies.” Marshal Foch sat comfortably in Paris the other evening and saw films of his 16,1'00-mile tour through the United States. The "movie” was part of the entertainment which Ute Paris post of the American Legion had arranged for the marshal. Ambassador Myron T. Herrick said, in introducing Foch: “If it had been possible for Germany tn 1914 to have seen a picture so truly representing! the Ibve between France and America, the war would never have been.”

GOOD FOR THAT “FLU” COUGH For quick, relief from the wearing coughs that "hang on" after the grippe or influenza, take Foley’s Honey and Tar. Mrs. K. D. Drake. Childs, Mr.. writes: “After an attack of the flu that left me with a severe cough nothing seemed to relieve me till 1 tried Foley’s Honey and Tar. which I can highly recommend.” It is also good for croup, whooping cough and colds. It puts a soothing.healing coating over the inflamed surfaces, cuts the phlegm, eases hoarseness, clears the air passages. ACT QUICKLY Do the right thing at the right time. Act quickly in time of danger. In time of kidney danger, Doan's Kidney Pills are most effective. Ask your neighbor! Plenty of Decatur evidence of their worth Mrs. Ira Elzey, 340 N. 9th St, Decatur, says: “I can endorse Doan’s Kidney Pills as a reliable remedy for kidney complaint for I have used them with success. My Vineys were weak and I often had severe backaches and pains across my kidneys. This made it hard for me to stoop and my kidneys didn't act right. Doan’s Kidney Pills, which 1 got at Smith, Yager & Falk's Drug Store, soon stopped the backache and relieved all symptoms of kidney complaint.” Price 69c. at all dealers. Don't eimply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills —the same that Mrs. Elzey had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y.
