“Those Who Dance Must Pay The Fiddler” There’s a settlement in profit or loss, for nearly every indulgence. Sometimes the pay day is long deferred, and in that case the settlement may bear compound interest. Often a payment in ill health is required for the dance had with tea or coffee during earlier years. Sometimes the collection comes in sleeplessness, sometimes in headaches, sometimes in high blood pressure, or in nervous indigestion — sometimes in all these penalties. Nerves won’t always stand the whipping of tea and coffee’s drug, caffeine. If you’ve been dancing to tea or coffee’s fiddling, why keep on till payment time comes? If you’re beginning to pay, now, why not cancel the contract? There’s an easy and pleasant way to avoid tea and coffee’s penalties, as thousands have found who have changed to Postum. It is a delight with any meal —rich, comforting and satisfying —and it never harms. Even the little children can have a breakfast cup of Postum, with no fear for what may happen to sensitive nerves. Instead of paying penalties for your mealtime drink, let it pay benefits to you, by giving natural health a full chance —and begin the new arrangement today. Any grocer will sell you, or any good restaurant will serve you Postum. Postum comes in two forms: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water. Postum Cereal (in packages of larger bulk, for those who prefer to make the drink while the meal is being prepared) Dade by boiling for 20 minutes. Postum for Health “There’s a Reason”

TURNED IT BACK TO BAKER Chinese Dairy Farmer Had Good Excuse for Selling His Product Without Using Scales. A dairy farmer living tn a small town was recently summoned to appear before the local magistrate on a charge of selling butter under weight. The complainant was the village baker, who felt he was being wronged when he discovered that every pound of the farmer’s butter fell below the weight that a pound ought to be. “Have you a pair of scales?” asked the magistrate of the farmer. “Yes, your honor.” “And weights?” “No, your honor, I have no weights,” “You have no weights! How, then, can you weigh your butter?” “That Is very simple, your honor. Since the baker has bcught his butter from me, I buy my bread from him, and his one-pound loaves serve me as weights to weigh my butter. If the butter does not weigh what it should, it is the baker’s fault, and not mine, jou see.”—North China Herald. Has the Key Habit. Young Detroit had been given locker and key for his gym things at school last September. Then he suddenly got the idea that he should have a ring for the key, and soon decided that he should have more keys for the ring, so he acquired a latch key to the front door, and one belonging to the garage. He bought a padlock for his tool chest and one for his bicycle, and added two more keys to his collection. Now he appropriates every unattached key he can find, regardless of whether it will unlock anything or not. And his wonderful collection is the envy of all his schoolmates. —De r roit News. , Wise Figuring. “I noticed,” said the Gyrene, sitting D the side car of the motorcycle, “that you gave that passing motor truck a wide berth as you whizzed by.” “Sure,” said the driver. “I figure it’s better to give those trucks six feet of space than for me to be taking up that much space in the cemetery.”— The Leatherneck.

Elijah MeTT* —^v. 17-19). At the Lord's .mmiiiuld, Elijah shows himself to Ahab. When Elijah was last seen by Ahab, he announced that rain would only be given by his word (17:1). In connection with the Prophet's appearing before the king, rain was promised. 1. Ahab’s question —“Art thou he that troubleth Israel?” (v. 17). Ahab’s aim was to intimidate Elijah—to awe him into submission. The devil goes about like' a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (I Pet. 5:8). 2. Elijah's answer (v. IS). He denied the charge and boldly declared that the calamity which had befallen the nation was caused by the idolatry of Ahab and his family. Many are the calamities which befall men and nations because they have forsaken God's commands and are worshiping other gods. 11. Elijah’s Challenge (vv. 19-24). 1. The people assembled (vv. 19, 20). The king convened the people at the urgent request of Elijah. It is strange that he should do this at Elijah’s command. Evidently God's hand overruled. 2. Elijah s ringing call to decision (vv. 21-24). (1) The question asked • —Who is your God, Baal or the Lord? (v. 21). Many of the people had not wholly forsaken God. They attempted to worship both God and Baal. Many today are halting between two opinions; they are halting between self and God—sin and holiness—mammon and God. But the question must be settled sooner or later. In fact, the decision is being imide every day. (2) Tlie silence of the people (v. 21). This may have been because of fear of the king or ignorance, for many were of the opinion that to be religious was the only thing necessary, irrespective of the being worshiped. (3) The method of decision (vv. 22-24). Two sacrifices were to be provided, one to be offered to Baal, the other to God. The god who answered by fire was to be the God. The people consented that this Was a fair test. Accepted sacrifice is the grand and supreme test by which God is calling upon men everywhere to make the decision between (’hrist and heathen gods (Rom. 4:25). HI. The Test Applied (vv. 25-39). 1. The offering by the prophets of Baal (vv. 25-29). Elijah gave a fair test, even placed the advantage on the other side. He gave the prophets of Baal the first opportunity to prove to the people as to whether Baal was a real god. To deal unfairly in any test betrays weakness in the party and the positions taken. Elijah taunted them, and they more earnestly cried to Baal, but no answer came. 2. The offering by Elijah (vv. 30-39). (1) The people invited near (v. 30). His object was for them to see the entire proceedings in order to fully grasp the genuineness of the test. (2) The altar repaired (vv. 30-32). Before there can be the power of God manifested, the altar must be repaired. Elijah took twelve stones, representing the united nation. God is one, and His people is one. (3) The offering on the altar (vv. 33-35). After the bullock was in place, he had four barrels of water three times emptied upon the sacrifices and the wood so as to fill the trench about the altar. So sure was Elijah that God’s power was sufficient, that he heaped difficulty upon difficulty. (4) Elijah’s prayer (vv. 36-37). (a) It was based upon covenants (v. 36). The foundation upon which all real prayer rests is covenant relationship. (b) Its object was God’s exaltation (v. 36). Elijah was jealous for God s glory—his supreme desire was to honor and magnify the Lord. The only thing that lie asked for himself was to be known as God’s servant, (c) It was for the salvation of the people (v. 37). His heart yearned after Israel. He was most desirous that they should come to know God. (5) The result (vv. 38. 39). (a) The fire of the Lord fell and consumed not only the sacrifice, hut the wood, stones and dust, even licking up the water in the trench, (b) The people fell on their faces and confessed that the Lord was the God. IV. The Execution of Baal’s Prophets (v. 40). The reason for this drastic action was that Israel's government was a theocracy—God was their King. Idolatry was treason against the King. These false prophets were traitors to God and therefore should die. V. Ged’s Prophets Vindicated (vv. 41-46). The proof that Elijah was God’s prophet was incomplete till rain came. Israel under his ministry had now turned hack to God, and God made known to them His gracionsness. The Same Forevermore. Hast thou ever found that God hath dealt unfaithfully with thee? Or didst thou ever hear that He hath dealt unfaithfully with any other? There is no want of power in Him that He should rot be as big as His word. We are fleeting and mutable, off and on; today not the same as yesterday; and tomorrow, perhaps, like neither of the days; yet He continueih yesterday, toilay, and t! e same forevermore. —Bisb op Sanderson.

YANK CLASHES WITHWATSON Former Lieutenant Before Senate Committee Tells of Shooting Soldier. NOOSES FOUND ON WAR DEAD Hangman’s Ropes and Black Caps on Some Bodies, Employee of Graves’ Registration Bureau Tells . the Senate Probers. Washington, Jan. 6. —Everett Coch ran of Savannah, a former lieutenant, appeared before the senate committee investigating Senator Watson's charges that Yanks were illegally killed in France “to answer charges made against me by Senator Watson.” , “Senator Watson has made no charges against you, sir." shot back Watson, "and don't you come here attacking me.” Cochran had been accused of shoot- I ing a soldier in France while he was a member of the command of Col, William Hayward, now of the New York district attorney's office. Senator Watson had offered the committee a letter from Colonel Hay- ' ward in which he said be had caused i Cochran to be transferred from his regiment after the shooting because i his usefulness had ended. Cochran admitted shooting the man—a negro. . “I was driving in a cart to the scene of a nearby disturbance when this negro stepped out and grabbed hold of the horse,” he said. "After he had refused several times to let go and had threatened me with the carbine slung over his shoulder. I shot him dead. Colonel Hayward ordered me tried so there could be no question about fay action. The court acquitted me in ten minutes. 1 was transferred at my request.” Polk Gulden of Newman. Ga., who said he could neither read nor write and “never could keep track of months," tokl of the killing of a comrade on orders of a major. The comrade. he said, had gone to a spring for, water after a march, without water, of 24 hours. Golden said his captain's name was “Captain Lesame." Colonel Bethel identified this officer as Capt. Francis Lesseigne, retired. 206 Monroe street, Madison, Wis. Golden also described the killing of another soldier who. he said, was within a few feet of him when he was shot down by a lieutenant for failure to report to his company on time, in the course of a march. Previously Rufus I*. Hubbard, formerly of the graves registration service, had told of finding three bodies in ' a graveyard at Bazoilles with rojies around their necks ami black caps over their heads. Hubbard accused the American graves registration service of "too much hurry.” “The result was that many mistakes were made." he said. "Men, not properly identified, were sen: back to 'parents.' " “You don't know whether the bodies you spoke of were of men executed according to law?” asked Brhndegee. * "I do not," replied Hubbard. “I executed a man at Bazoilles. I tied the knot and put the rope around his neck," testified Don Jacobson of Guthrie, Okla., a former sergeant of Company B. Five Hundred and Fourth engineers. “Did he have a trial?" asked Senator Brandegee. “Yes," replied Jacobson, who added that the victim, a negro, was placed in the coffin with a rope around his neck and the black cap over his head. “When was this hanging?” asked Watson. “February 4. 1918.” “Did the man make any statement ” “He said: T die an innocent man.’” Harry W. Segal of I>orehester. Mass., told the committee lie saw two negroes taken from their barracks at Gievres one morning ami strung up on the gallows. He gave the name of Lieutenant Colonel Hahn as the man who directed the hangings.
