A tiny, smiling girl stood at the desk. “What does your father do?” asked the librarian in an effort to identify her father among the many men of tlie same name in the city directory. “He’s either a ‘millioneer’ or an engineer, and I can’t remember which," returned the tiny one, with a puzzled frown. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that I has been very successful in overcoming . these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is I soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in -an interview on the subject, made the astonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are rejected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applications are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N.

Jesus energetically gave himself up to His work. 1. Teaching in the synagogue (v. 2). This He did on the Sabbath day. lie could let no opportunity to do good pass. 2. The result of His teaching (vv. 3). (1) The people were astonished. In their astonishment they asked questions; (a) From whence hath this man these tilings? (b) What wisdom is given unto Him? (c) Is not this the carpenter? (d) Are not His sis- I ters with us? That His wisdom ami ' power were superhuman, they could ' not doubt. The only answer to their : questions is Christ s absolute Deity. (2) The people were offended (v. 3). ; Not being able to answer their own J questions and to believe their own ! eyes and ears, they rejected Him. I This rejection was not because they knew Him too well, but because they knew Him not at all. His country- i men judged Him by His brothers, sisters, and father, mid therefore failed ! I to know Him. If pi . plc were to judge Jesus on the ba-< of Hi- own claims and upon what He did. thej could mu help but believe on Him. 11. “My Father Worketh Hitherto, and I Work” (John 5:17). Jesus had on the Sabbath day ; healed an impotent man. They sought i to kill Him for this good deed, ami I when He linked himself with G<><l in this they more earnestly sought to ! kill Him. They tried to kill Him be- j cause He made himself equal with I Gou. The special points of equality I with God were: 1. Giving life to the dead. No human being has ever been able Io raise a not fie I? fqom the dead. The Jews rightly interpreted His claim to being - fHI e t<> J'riWQ-'r<... W Deity. 2. Judging mankind. No human being is wise enough to judge his fellow being. Christ’s claim to be the Judge of mankind they interpreted to be His claim to Deity, and they were correct. 111. The Man Who Will Not Work Should Not Eat (II Thcss. 3:6-13). There had developed among the Christians at Thessalotiica a tendency I to idleness. Some were neglecting their lawful earthly callings—even to the extent that they were becoming a charge to the church. From the con- I text of the Thessalonian epistles it ; would seem that this serious condi- ; lion was the result of w rong x lew s ' concerning the second coming of , Christ. Such as this is wholly wrong ; and absolutely contrary to the signili- ; canee of "the blessed hope.” The at- ; titude of those possessing an intel- I ligent view of the Lord's coming as taught by Christ and the apostles, is I earnest attention to the present duty. “Occupy till I <*>me.” is Christ's charge. Speculative -mr-^ <rs have brought this precious doctrine into i disrepute. Unceasing fidelity to all , the responsibilities of the present is , the corr.'et attitude of those who are : waiting for the Son from heaven. To ' correct this wrong, Paul — 1. Asserts his ' authority to com- I immd (v. 6). ^l’his authority was ! given him by < 'hrist, 2. Commands them to withdraw i from those who thus walk disorderly ] (v. 6). Tho-e who are neglecting their law- ; ful occuiations for star-gazing si lon | ( i I be disfellow shipped from the < hurch. | Let those who possess intelligence ! with reference to the bl< -ed hope of j the Lord's return take cogniztmce of i the ^disorderly conduct of those who j are idlj -peculating about these things. 3. Paul's example (vv. 7-9). Paul j ptessed with great earnestness the | do< t: Jie of the Lord's reiitrn, ami yet i consistently continued in his lawful i calling. In order to n, t be chargeable i unto them he lab' red with great I '■aching of Christ and th< ipostle- concerning the Lord's । return become.- a powerful im entive to j 4.

FINE CROPS SUSE Farmers in Western Canada Jubilant at ProspecL Splendid Winter Weather Has Put tho Naturally’ Fertile Land in Splendid CShdition, and Bountiful Yields Are Assured. “What a delightful winter we have had,” is an expression that could be heard almost anywhere when »he topic of the weather became the subject of conversation. Not only in the Middle West and "down east” could it be heard, but also in the Far West, up in the Canadian West. There the same remarkable features that brought forth a wonderful winter existed. Reports from all parts of the country, from famed Medicine Hat in Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba, indicate that all through the winter season very little cold weather vas experienced. In December, we read that golf playing had put into the discard all ice sports, that farmers were caught “red-handed" plowing their fields. In January, the Alberta yeoman got out his tractor and in his shirt sleeves was seen preparing ground for the 1921 crop. During February, In Saskatchewan. one farmer harrowed fifty acres and planted the seed. “Why, yes, of course. In March,” said nr. lowa farmer, who had just heard from his son, who was looking after the Western Canadian farm, "my boy writes me they had some, snow, and a few cold dips, but what did that matter? I’he cattle and the horses came through the winter In better condition than they looked three or four mouths | ago. Grass was plentiful on the prairies. the stubble was rich and valuable as food, and the straw stacks and groves proved ample for shelter.” j Spring is now fully upon the West- ’ ern Canada farmer, his ma< hinery Is all In shape for a spring's work, and : he is looking forward to an excellent crop year. Last fall there was a splendid lot of moisture that perme- ■ nted the ground sutlici, ntly to leave a perfect seed bed. Indications are now that the crop will go In in the condition required for sucec-sful germination. Then, with the lengthened days of May ami Juno, the many hours of sunshine that they bring, accompanied by showers of rain, ami with a soil of which there is none richer nor more generous, tl re will be seen preparing for a ripening har- ' vest the hundreds of thousands of acres of wheat, oats, barley, rye, alfalfa and corn that will make the j hearts of the Western Canada farmers swell with pride as they reasonably ' look forward to an abundant harvest. There is t. great deal that’can be said in favor of the climate of Western Canada. The most important is that those who live there, ami have lived in other countries, prefer It to any they have experienced elsewhere. It is true the winters as a rule are ___cobiyi^r «^ye tlu>sg iu countries lying much farther south, but it is also true that they are tempered by a dryness of the atmosphere that makes a lower temperature preferable to that several degrees higher where greater humidity prevails. Enervation and llstlessness are unknown; i the air is bracing, but the cold is not | penetrating. Then the summers and । the autumns —they could not be more enjoyable.—Advertisement.

3UILDING TRUST ON U.S. GRILL Attorney Genera! Daugherty in Warning Declares Department Will Act. SAYS SITUATION INTOLERABLE Nationwide Graft Inquiry May Be Centered at Chicago—Does Not Intend to Harass Business, but Will Enforce Law. Washingion, April 9. —A general warning io business that the Department of Jusiiee will countenance no violation- of the lax^ wa- sounded by Attorney General Daugherty. '1 he country, Mr. Daugherty said, "shou.ld take notice of a new day and a new way," ami that those who had been guilty of illegal practices should not "close their exes." His statement, he added, was a "modest but emphatic warning" to those for whom it was intended, and could be reganled as an opportunity for any of those who should mend their ways to do so. Reports from some sections of the country are that the building material situation is "intolerable,” Mr. Daugherty said, and the Department of Justice desires to contribute in any way it can to improve it. Tlie attorney general said the De- ! partment of Justice did not imend to harass business in any way, but that it did intend to enforce tlie law. He pointed out that while the profiteering sections of the Lever act had been declared unconstitutional, the department stiil could proceed under the Sherman antitrust law-. Mr. Daugherty was discu-sing specially the situation in the building materials imlu-try. which he declared reports t<> the department showed to be “Intolerable." He said the I apartment of Justice would ask f< r more aid from the outside than it Lad re.eix.'d heretofore, and ilia: lawyer- repre-enting firms -tmiiid ;. ~rd m-elve- - agents of the Department of Justice in upImlding the law.

Indictment- already h'ave been returned in New York and ('hiixmo, he said, ami complaints have come from I’ittsburgh, St. Louis, Cleveland and Ollier cities. He said conferences alrea*ly had i been held with District Attorney Clyne of Chicago, and that James A. Fowler of Knoxville, Tenn., had been assigned to take charge of the proceedings’ in New York, Chicago, April 9.—As soon as word of the action of the attorney general was received hero several Chicago contractors and architects declared* ‘ that the biggest task in such an investigation wouhl be to clean out the building industry of Chicago. They pointed out that New York has had the benefit of the activities of the Lockwood conimis-ion, while Chicago's prospect for Immediate relief in the action of the Dailey committee is problematical in view of State's Attorney Crowe's decision to -ever connedtons w ith the joint legislative com- • mitu-e. They also declared that the fate of the appropriation bills, which would give the committee funds adequate to the situation, is also "up in the air,” and in some circles it was planned to appeal to the attorney general to begin his quiz in this city. Un behalf of the Illinois S >ciety of Architects. F. E. Davidson, president of the society, sent a letter to Attorney General DaimLerty rc'im-Li'z him to center his investigation oi the building industry m Chicago.

I would always have an uncomfortable bloated up feeling in ! my stomach, and although I tried many kinds of medicines, I never got ; relief until I took Tanlac. “I also suffered considerably at j times from Rheumatism, but this has all disappeared. In fact, this wonderful medicine has made a new man out of me in every way.
