' It only requires confidence, intelligence, and work—plenty, of work. "No work to lie bad" is often a phantom of the brain. It seldom exists tor the man who' wants to work. There is work —plenty...of it—for people who are looking lor work instead of a life of ease’, ;dr a soft snap. . . , ■ If work is slack in one line there is always a demand tor labor in other lilies.

It requires work—work—plenty of work—and more work. When we wait for money to hunt ns the other fellow gets it. But the man who, works gets the money—and generally keeps it.

Drink and Live Long.

According to a Roumanian scientist, anyone may live to'be 100, barring accidents, if he drinks enough water. This scientist claims to have demonstrated that old age is due to a decrease in the amount of water in the system. He contends that old Father Time may be checkmated by systematic water drinking during middle age. Journal.

DRINK DISTILLED WATER.

Naval Surgeon Proclaims Distilled Water as Best; Antidote Against ■ Old Age. “When you read of deaths from heart disease, kidney trouble, acute indigestion, aneurism and allied affections, know that all of them could have been prevented had the unfortunate been lucky enough to have been in the navy.” J Thus writes Dr. L. L. Yon Wedekind, medical inspector United States navy and commander of the hospital ship Solace, extolling the uses of distilled water for drinking purposes. The least common of all diseases in the C. S. navy is arthritis, while such infectious diseases as typhoid and smallpox have been eliminated. This, according to Commander Von Wedekind, is due to the constant use of distilled water, not only for drinking, hut also for cooking purposes. “I am urging strongly that the rest of the world live as we do, some 70,000 strong, using distilled watei for cooking and drinking, and live on and on, youths at 65,” writes the doctor-commander. “We do not develop arterial degeneration, gout anci rheumatism, though not surrounded by home comforts, regular seasons, regular amusements arid home life, Our men wash, their own clothes, they wash their home each morning, instead of sweeping it; they are wet some portion of each day, and frequently a good portion of the day; are in a tropic heat and liable to have midwinter within a week; work strenuously, hard and constantly. “.Overfeeding is a habit—nothing more. Overdrinking of water may be* come one; agreeable, constant and productive of such visible results as to be compellingly convincing.” It is obvious that distilled water can contain no injurious matter, but it has another more important quality that is shared by no other form of water. This is that it x is hungry for soluble ingredients and has its appetite satisfied in coursing through the. body removing excess matter, flushing all parts of the system anci washing away everything that is deleterious. “To those who have not expeiienced the harrowing anguish of * ’stroke’ in ‘Dad,’ hurry up and pump him full of distilled water, and you’ll never know what harrowing anguish means, and he’ll really live to caW you blessed.” says Commander Von Wedekind. “Form a habit of drinking distilled water, it is pleasant, invigorating, rejuvenating. -Make it a point to take three glasses a day in excess of Tour desire.” And lie tells how to get distilled water as fallows: “In any home—in fact, in all homes—the inventive genius in the person of ‘Dad’ or any of the boys Si veil a tea kettle, a copper coil, a Piece of rubber tubing, a bucket of cold water and a glass preserve jar or ordinary water pitcher, and in half an hour you’lf have a still big enough to furnish water for drinking purposes. But for goodness sake don’t put the ice man’s ice into the water, and don’t in your suddenly awakened enthuiasism buy distilled water from your druggist.

Corn as Food.

Sending a brigade of cooks to Eqrope to teach the natives there to eat cori\ is only renewing an experiment tried in tinifs of peace. ‘‘Corn Cake" Murjihy gained immortal note by hi s efforts along this line, while Clark E.iCarr and later Maurice Egan did much to give the Europeans a notion of the delights' of corn as a comestible. Those apostles of a new gastronomy for the people of Europe met. with the obstacle that has so far proved insurmountable. Prince arid peasant alike' associate corn . with stock feed, and, therfore, decline it. But corn is really a food for the gods; in niitritive value it is but litbehind whole wheat flour, con taming within 6 per cent as much carbohydrates and within 3 per cent as much protein. Much of the food value of wheat is sacrificed in preparation of flour to the end that our dainty appetites may be piqued by the snowy whiteness of the bread: Thus, bulk for buTkj good corn bread is quite as nutritious as is the wheaten loaf. 1

Many ways of cooking corn are known, but the simplest are the better. A sturdy race of pioneers throve on mu3h and milk and corn pone and hoe cake. Civilization and luxury have led the children of these pioneers to look with disdain on corn, and to prefer to secure its great health-giving properties through other mediums. We have been taking our corn by way of pork and beef Omaha Bee.

CONFESSION OF SIN, FORGIVENESS, VICTORY

1 Hamuli 7:3-17 — Feb. 28. Samuel, Prophet and Judge—His Influence For Good—lsrael Was Penitent—Convention at Mount Mizpah. The Watch Towei Fasting and Prayei—God’s Favor Returned—Phi/ listines Rebuked —Israel Blessed. Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” — l Bam- ’ . uel 7:12: v SAMUEL the Prophet might serve Eli the Priest, but could not become his successor because not of the priestly family. It is probable therefore tlffit, as he reached maturity, he found other service; but there is a blank in the record of twenty years at least. Quite possibly he engaged himself in instructing the people respecting their wrong conditions—the permission of idolatry amongst them, neglect of God, etc. Our lesson introduces him as the leader of the hour, when the people had become thor-

ough ly aroused to a sense of their unholiness a n d their need of help back into relationship with God. Having brought them to this proper condition of mind, the Prophet Samuel appointed a general meeting at a small mountain called Mizpah

—AVatch Tower They came in considerable numbers, seeking God. A Great Reformation Effected. The Prophet Samuel put the matter before the people distinctly, saying, “If ye do return to the Lord with all your hearts, then put away the strange gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto the Lord, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.” He was warranted in telling them this; for God’s Covenant with them was that if they would obey His Laws, and be loyal to Him, He would guide their interests to their highest welfare, but that if they were disobedient and disloyal. He would deliver them into the hands of their enemies and punish them Seven Times. Baalim is the plural of Baal—caretaker. The Israelites had been forewarned to keep themselves from idols to such an extent that they might not even make an image of Jehovah. But all around were the Canaanites, whom they had not driven out of the land. These Cn infinites had Baal idols- in all their towns and even in their homes, as protective genii. Ashtaroth is the plural of Ashteroth, a female deity, known also as Ishtar and Astarte. Connected with her worship were many licentious services supposed to promote fertility—propagation of the human species. If Samuel’s work influenced all Israel to put away their gods and to worship and serve Jehovah only, he accomplished much. Such reformations do not come by change, nor are they miraculous. Samuel prayed for the people of Israel, who poured out water before the Lord, fasted and confessed that they had sinned against the Lord. This confession was appropriate when asking the God whom they had offended to receive them back Into covenant relationship with Himself. 'The humility necessary to such confession would be profitable in their character-building.

Israel Blessed by Samuel’s Judgeship. “Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah"; he gave advice in respect to their affairs—disputes, proper course of conduct, etc. Thus the nation was making a new start. Meanwhile the Philistines, having heard of the gathering, came against them with an army. The Israelites had come together for prayer; nevertheless they were probably more or less armed. But they felt quite unprepared to meet the Philistines, and asked Samuel to cry to God, that He save them from the Philistines. They were learning to look for help in tile right direction. This cry, coming after they had vowed to be loyal to Jehovah, put them into a very different attitude toward Him from that of twenty years previous. when they called for the Ark to lead them against the Philistines. In response, the Prophet Samuel offered to the Lord a lamb of the first year. He knew not, but it was a type of “the Lamb of God, which taketh

the hill Mizpah into the faces of the approaching hosts. They turned their backs against the storm; and the Israelites, perceiving the opportunity, rushed onward with the storm, driving the Philistines before them, and gaining. a great victory on the very spot where, twenty years before, the Ark had been captured by the Philistines. Samuel there set a stone as a monument and called it Ebenezer. saying. “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” Samuel continued to be a judge, an Interpreter of Divine Law, a counselor to his people, all the days of his life. Thus the nation began to be cemented as one people.
