Another Link With Monticello Monticello Citizens Add Their Praise Another link with our neighboring town of Monticello is provided in the following grateful and generous statement of a well-known resident there, Mr. Thomas H. Graves, Railroad St., who says: “I had a severe attack of lumbago and my back became so stiff and sore that I could not stoop. I had a dull, throbbing ache through my kidneys ■and loins and a distressing kidney weakness. I doctored and used medicine of various kinds, but nothing helped me until I took Doan’s Kidney Pills. This medicine went to the seat of the trouble and three boxes made a cure.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Graves had.

“Abe Martin" in Indianapolis News.

Th’ limit has certainly been reached in this country when it comes t’ novel, varied, ingenious, unique, darin’, irrisistible, plausible, allurin’, impellin’, temptin’, seductive an’ entcin’ schemes whereby we’re separated from our money. We’re approached at our desks an’ buttonholed in th’ streets; we’re touched o’er th’ phone an’ cornered at th’ club; we’re buncoed by mail an’ trimmed at our work; we’re solicit ed at our front door an importunea at our back door; we’re hypnotized by th’ magazine ads, while th’ business announcements in th’ family newspapers all but lead us by th’ nose t’ th’ shops o’ th’ advertisers. Ever’where we go is th’ tireless solicitor or th’ glib promoter; ever’where we look is th’ irresistible magazine or newspaper ad, or th’ glarin’ billboard. Then t’ disturb th’ peace an’ qtiiet o’ th’ home comes th’ convincin’ circular or th’ cunnin’ mail order catalog. This is th’ age o’ business publicity an’ heart t’ heart solicitin’, an’ th’ feller that’s got a dollar is sure t’ git separated from if, sooner or later. No human bein’ is constituted f withstand th’ sizzlin’ bombardment that is trained on his pocketbook these days*, Th’ artistic pictures an’ th’ fine wordin’ o’ th’ modern ads are too much fer us an’ we’re seized with new longin’s an’ new ambitions. We resign our position an’ buy a small farm. We want F trade our grocery fer a nickel theater. We want t’ raise chickens or grapefruit. We want t’ go west an’ we want t’ go south. We want a music box an’ we want a velour hat. We want father’s picture enlarged an’ we want a sleepin’ porch, We want a vacuum cleaner an’ we want, our tonsils removed. We want to be an’ author an’ We want t’ raise apples. We want V raise Angora goats an’ we would like t’ tackle some minin’ stock if we wuzn’ afraid. An' so it goes. Ever’buddy you meet is figurin’ on doin' somethin’ or buyin’ somethin’ he has seen advertises. Then as winter approaches th’ great charity dragnets are thrown ‘out an’ we’re approached front ever’ angle t’ come t’ th’ relief o’ th’ sufferin’ poor. . Ever’buddy who has reaped a fair measure o’ prosperity should cheerfully give a portion o' his! earnin’s t’ th’ worthy poor. Howevex there’s a growin’ suspicion that th’ great winter army o’ destitute people is out o’ all proportion t’ th’ summer opportunities fer preparedness—that there's entirely too many strong, middle-aged people who sing all summer an’ dream o’ tn’ dear ole winter time, when a kind an’ indulgent public ’U provide ther’ coal an’ food—too many men with families who specialize an’ refuse t’ work at anything that comes along. Folks who run ther legs off all summer tryin' t’ find somebuddy t’ do a little spadin’, or lawnmowin’, or wasliin’, don’t feel as charitably inclined in the fall as they might, but o’ course, th’ solicitors fer th’ various charities don’t know nothin’ about that. So while we’re shellin’ out so lavishly fer ever’thing else let’s give a little t’ charity. Where his next dollar is coinin’ from don’t worry th’ average family man near as much as where ip’s gcir.\

WALT MASON The Poet Philosopher We have much reason to be grateful, 'since there’s no warfare, grim and hateful, within this smiling country’s borders; we slay not at some marshall’s orders. In Europe men are now preparing for months of freezing and despairing; they’ll spend the winter in the trenches, while foes, with guns and monkey wrenches, make daily efforts to dislodge them, and they’ll be too blamed cold to dodge them. Oh, when you’re seated in your rocker, with trusty pipe and shilling shocker, with peace and comfort all around you, think how your trans-Atlantic cousins are being shot up by the dozens. There are no comforts in the trenches; no rocking chairs or padded benches; there are no sprightly evening papers, to tell the latest football capers. The men must stand in muddy water, and wield the musket and the swatter, and shiver in the biting blizzard, which freezes them from nose to gizzard. Oh, think of that while you are rocking before the fire, and blithely talking of White House brides and income taxes—think of the swords and battle-axes!

WHAT THE SOLDIERS HAVE TO EAT.

The Army of Great Britain Is Said To Be Best Fed Force Ever Placed in the Field. No branch of the non-combatant services of the British army has won greater praise from the soldiers at the front or more admiration from the public at home than has the Army Service Corps. It is only owing to the untiring efforts of this little army of provision merchants that the British forces have gained their reputation as the best fed army that has ever been placed in the field. The knowledge of this splendid provisioning of the army has urn consciously given rise to the theory that the soldiers of the other allies are comparatively more or less insufficiently supplied with ammunition for the inner man.

These impressions, however, are entirely erroneous, and a comparison between the official rations allowed to the soldiers of the allied nations will prove that the Frenchmen and the Russians are, like the British soldiers, among the best fed fighters in history. In each of the allied armies British, French, Russian and Belgian—the principal foods are meat and bread. A glance at the following figures, which indicate tin* daily allowance of meat and bread to every man of the four armies, will show that the fare of the others compares with that of the British: Meat, Bread, pound, pound British . . . ... . . 1 1-4 1 1-4 French .1 i i Russian .......0 3-4 2 ::-i Belgian .... .. , 0 3-4 1 3-4

The Briton, it will thus be seen, actually receives less bread than any. of his comrades but, on the other hand, liis allowance of meat is considerably larger. , In examining the soldiers’ menus more closely, that of the Russian may be taken first, since it is the least known. In every case the allowances have been translated into English terms in order to make a comparison easier.

The Russian breakfasts later than any of the allied soldiers. He does not receive his first ration until just before 8 o’clock. These are : % oz. Tchai (tea). 3 oz. sugar. 3 funt (2 3-4 lb.) Cherni Cbieb (black bread). The tea and sugar have to last all day. The bread is usually served out on alternate days, six funt (a little less than 6 pounds) each time. For dinner, which generally takes place just before noon, each group of 10 soldiers receive a large dish of “Borsht.’’ This contains cabbage and potatoes mixed in various gravies. The 10 men sit around the dish, each with a big wooden spoon, and all help themselves at once. After this conies the national dish “Kasha,” a kind of porridge. This the men eat in the same fashion as ‘ Borsht.” “Kasha” is very cheap in Russia, and soldiers can have as much as they want. When this has been disposed of the meal finishes with an allowance of half a pound of meat per man. The meat is cooked with the “Borsht.”

The third and last Russian meal is served about 6:30 in the evening and consists of more “Borsht,” together with a quarter of a pound of meat. It often happens that the Russian soldier receives more bread than he needs, and the surplus he is allowed to sell in order to increase his meager pay, which, it may be interesting to add, amounts to 50 kopecs, about a shilling, a month. The Belgian soldier is allowed nearly 1 3-4 pounds of bread per day. This is known as “pain gris,” a mixture of white and black bread. His meals are;

Breakfast, 6:30 a. m.—Bread; coffee, containing milk and sugar. As a general rule butter has not been served, though it is expected to be added to the rations in the future. Dinner, 12 noon—About 2 pints of soup, to which plenty of salt is added; 3-4 of a pound of meat, which is boiled with the soup and afterwards taken out and selrved separately; 2% pounds of mashed potatoes, in which bacon and vegetables are mixed; sometimes pudding.

Supper, 6 p. m.—Two pounds of mashed potatoes, with other, vegetables, and bhcoh, which ,is added to make the vegetables a little fat. This mixture of vegetables and bacon forms the principal food of the Belgians. Frequently the soldier, after his morning coffee, gets no other beverage but water. Upon going into the trenches he is usually given a ration of condensed meat, equal in proportion to the daily ration.

The daily allowance of the French soldier is somewhat similar to that of the Belgian.—New York Sun.

"PRIDE GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION"

• Chronicle* tS.S~tl.~Dcc. f. Israel a Typical Nation—Messiah to Establish the Antitype—Uzziah’s Political and Military Success Becomes a Snare to Him —His Sin of Presumption—lts Punishment—A Lesson For Church and World—lgnorance of God’s Law Not Acceptable Excuse. "-A nan's pride shall bring him lotc; but he that l* of a lately spirit shall obtain honor.” —Proverbs CSSS. R. V. a GREAT and prosperous king In Jerusalem was Uzziah. He made a good beginning, was reverential toward God, and put his entire kingdom into good condition for defense against enemies. When thinking of Israel's wars, we are to remember that for a time this nation represented God’s rule in the earth as no other nation has ever done. Israel's kings were anointed by Divine commission and authority, as were no other kings; and they were said to “sit upon the Throne of the Kingdom of the Lord,” as no other

kings before or since have held dominion. Theirs was not, however, the Kingdom for which we pray, “Thy Kingdom come,” but merely a typical arrangement. God’s Kingdom will realty come to earth aft e r Messiah shall establish it. For a thousand years

lie shall reign, to uplift the humble, to bless all who seek righteousness, to punish and correct all others, and finally to destroy the incorrigible in the Second Death, It was, therefore, quite In line with the arrangements of that time that Israel's kings should defend the land which the Almighty had especially given to their nation. Having accomplished great things from a political and a military standpoint. King Uzziah essayed to a religious distinction. lie evidently felt that God was proud of him and would be pleased to have him enter the Temple and offer incense at the Golden Altar, as did the priests. lie kue\v of the regulations governing the Temple service, but considered himself above them. He would gO direct to God and not recognize the jiriest.

Incense at the Golden Altar. . Those whose eyes of understanding have not been opened to the fact that Jesus is the Divine Appointee for the reconciliation of the world to God may be excused if they approach tied in prayer aside from Him. But as King UzzLah knew of the Divine arrangement that incense could be offered on the Golden Altar only by the priest, so those who have now come to a realization of the fact that Jesus is the great antitypical Priest, through whom communication with the Father has been opened up, would come under condemnation should they Intrude into the Divine presence otherwise than as Divinely arranged, even as King Uzziah was smitten with leprosy for his presumption and. pride. Leprosy, Scripturally considered, Is a type of sin. King Uzziah’s experiences, therefore, signify that whoever having a knowledge of the impropriety would approach God aside from His ordained Priest would come under Divine sentence as a wilful sinner. The penalty would be proportionate to the degree of enlightenment previously enjoyed.

Fourscore Valiant Priests. When the king entered the Holy of the Temple to offer Incense at the Golden Altar, the high priest and eighty of the under priests followed him, protesting against his sacrilege. Although this was only their duty, nevertheless it marked them as courageous men; for in ancient times a king had great power, and King Uzziah was likely to resent any interference with his kingly prerogatives. Their words of protest voiced what the king already knew respecting the restrictions attached to the Temple

must bring him dishonor. Had he hastened to glorify God, doubtless he would have received a blessing. But the violation of the Divine Law brought him a curse instead. Humility the Great Lesson.

The lesson seems to be one of humility, both for the Church and for the world. Some are bora humble-minded; others are bom self-conceitedL The latter, therefore, are handicapped as respects humility, though advantaged as respects courage to battle against present adversities. On the whole, our handicaps through imperfections of the flesh are not so unequal as to make it easier for one than for another to enter the Kingdom under the call of this Gospel Age. The Divine Judgment will be according to the heart, the will, the endeavor and not according to the weaknesses and failures of the flesh. Therefore meekness and humility shouhl he cultivated.
