Edited by Minnie L. Houck, Shirley, Ind.

Isaac and Rebekah had two sons named Jacob and Esau. Jacob was his mother's favorite but Isaac had blessed Esau and gave him the promise of the birthright which meant that when his father died, he should receive twice as much as the younger bon. When they grew up, Esau did not care for the birthright or the blessing which God had promised. He was a hunter and one day when he •. came home tired from hunting, he sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of food. .» When Isaac had grown old and his eyesight was failing, he called Esau and told him he wanted to give him a parting blessing before he died. He asked him to go to the field and shoot some animal and prepare his favorite dish. While he'was gone, Rebekah told Jacob what Isaac had said to

Esau. She wanted Jacob to get the blessiug so she quickly prepared some meat and sent Jacob in with it. He deceived his old father who blessed him, thinking lie was Esau.

Soon after he had gone Esau came in and when he saw that he had been

cheated out of the blessing as well as Bradley, of Colorado the birthright, he gave a bitter cry, and Samuel Bradley, but it was too late. Still Isaac gave I Slaughter, Mrs. and him another blessing, promising him that his dwelling should be of the riches of the earth and that although he should serve his brother for a time yet after awhile he should shake off his brother's yoke and be free.

Jacob was afraid Esau would trv to

take his life so he went to Haran to,

evening when he had gone about sixty miles from home, he t-ook a stone foe a pillow and lay down to sleep. He had a wonderful dream ill his dream he saw stairs leading from the earth where he lay, up to heaven. Angels were going up and coming down on the stairs. Above the stairs he saw God standing. He told him that the land where he was lying all alone should belong to him and that He would be with him on his journey and bring him back to that land.

Jacob named the place Bethel which means "Hotise of God." Then Jacob went on his journey to the northeast from the land of Cannan till he came to the city of Haras, Beside the city was the well where Abraham's servant met Jacob's mother, Rebekah and there, after Jacob had

Jacob was very angry that he had been deceived,—though that was just the way in which Jacob himself had deceived his father and cheated hie brother, Esau. But his uncle, Laban, said, "In our land we never allow the younger daughter to be married before the older daughter. Keep Leah for your Avife and work for me seven years longer and you shall have Rachel also."

KEEP THE KIDNEYS WELL

Health is Worth Saving, and Some Greenfield People Know How to Save it.

Many Greenfield people take their lives ki their hands by neglecting the kidneys when they know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and aches and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly apd permanently cureh by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills. Here is a Greenfield citizen's recommendation. I

Elijah Hunt, 523 Broadway, Greenfield, Ind., says: "I never had oecasion to take Doan's Kidney Pills personally but I know them to be a remedy of merit. They have been used in my family for backache and a weakness of the kindeys and have lived up to all the claims made for them. They cured a member of my family about six years ago and as there has been no symptoos of kidney

Big selling makes little profits big enough. I am proving it over and over every day. Have I proven it to your satisfaction yet? The proof is here. START RIGHT. That's my advise to young couples just beginning housekeeping. Don't put a dollar into anything that isn't of the highest quality that you can afford to buy. Better a little and good than much and inferior. I am giving a special discount of 10 per cent, on all cash sales for the next 30 days. My prices have been low, but now is bargain time if you need anything in my line. Now is the time for you.
