Pinkham’sVegetable Compound. It has behind it a record of nearly fifty years. Golden Pennies. Sir Robert Horne's forecast of a return of the gold sovereign to common circulation may recall that the first regular gold piece struck In England was—a penny! This became pert of the currency In 1257, and weighed about 45 grains, being the equivalent of 20 of the contemporary ■Over pennies. Its prototype was the tenant, a gold piece belonging to Byzantium, which had been current for centuries, but the English penny was a far better executed coin than its original. It appeared but once in our coinage and only two or three examples have survived. No one In England will be sorry for the disappearance of the paper currency of war Hines. — Montreal Family Herald. "Leyden Jar." —J. leyden jar is a glass jar or bottle used to accumulate electricity; so named from having been Invented in Leyden, Holland. In its common form, it is coated with tin foil, within and wTtbout, well up toward its top, and is surmounted by a brass knob which communicates with the inner coating. To charge the jar, the knob is connected with an electric source and the outer coating with the ground. ; Electricity of the same kind as the ■ource is then accumulated on the inner coating, and the opposite kind on the outer. Hospitable Soul. •That’s the third time this week the kitchen roof of this boarding house has caught fire," grumbled the chief. “What are you going to do about it?” asked a bystander. “What can we do about it?

Isn’t it time then, you found out why I you are unable to enjoy these fine spring days? Likely your kidifeys have weakened. Winter is hard on the kidneys.

CROPS AND PROFIT PROBLEMS JUST NOW PRESSING ON AGRICULTURISTS Farmer on Low-Priced, Fertile Lands, Still to Be Had, Is in Best Possible Position. — The economic problems connected with the advantageous marketing of farm crops and the financing of the movement of those crops are pressing upon agriculture most severely. They will be solved, however, and while that solution Is being worked out it is simply good sense on the farmer’s part to make his efforts toward production tell to the very maximum, as best carrying him through the period of depression and hard times and placing him in the best position to i take the greatest possible advantage lof the better times to come. We may repeat that the cheapest farm crop, whether from fields or from live stock, i is almost Invariably the largest crop which can be obtained. Or in other words, the greater the crop, the greater the net profit. To attain such : crops and to place himself in the advantageous position referred to above, the farmer must study, and must apply the results of his study to such problems as soil fertility. Its conservation and Increase; soil moisture, Its control; cultural methods, suitable and productive varieties, etc., etc. The question Is how can you best accomplish and secure these things? Can they be done on high-priced lands, by paying high rents, with the prices you get for your produce no greater than may be had from that grown and raised on much cheaper lands, whose production is fully as great as that of the high-priced lands? The answer Is unquestionably in favor of ' the low-priced lands, when they are ; selected because of their soil fertility and the other requirements necessary. . It is not the purpose here to point out merely that the lands of Western Canada would prove a splendid and ready solution, but to emphasize the fact that In order to overcome your present difficulty, to remove some of the burden that you are laboring unI der, you must secure some line of cheaper operation, whether It be removal to other parts in your own country where such opportunity may offer, or take advantage of that which Western Canada affords. For information regarding these advantages apply to any Canadian government agent.—Advertisement. HE GOT THE NAMES MIXED Simple Explanation of American’* Reverent Attitude Toward Relics of Great English Poet. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said In a Y. M. C. A. address: “A guide was showing a party of tourists over Milton's cottage at Chalfont St. Giles. “ This ’ere’s ’ls chair,’ said the guide, and an American tiptoed out from the group of tourists and kissed the chair reverently. “ ‘Say, guide,’ he said, choking a little. ‘l’d like to buy those two pieces of furniture for a souvenir. What do you ask for them?’ “ ‘They ain’t for sale, sir.’ “‘Come on now. Name yer price. I’ll give you anything in reason.’ “ ‘No, no, sir. They ain’t for sale.’ And the guide went on. ‘This is the cane wot the pore blind old man —’ “ ‘Blind?’ snorted the American. ‘I wish I had his vision. Blind! Why, you must be crazy, guide.’ “ ‘Of course Milton was blind,’ the guide Insisted. “‘Milton?’ And the American stamped to the door in disgust. ‘Milton? Holy smoke, man. I thought you were talking about Lipton.’ ” Good Things Going to Waste. A childless couple have a whole yard of pets which are a delight to the children of the neighborhood. Ellsworth, on his return from there the other day, heaved reminiscently and remarked: "My, that would be a nice fambly for some little boy to be burned Into.” "City of Peace." A former city on the site of Jerusalem was called Salem. An Assyrian Inscription has been found calling the ! place Urusalem which meant “city of peace.”

Pinkham’s Vegetatable Compound. It has done so much for me. My baby is almost a year old now and is the picture ot health. She walked ateleven months and is trying to use her little tongue. She can say some words real nice. I am sending you her picture. I shall be thankful

At What Age Should You Take Needless Risks With Your Health? - Is that a queer question? Then many people are doing a queer thing -and often it turns out to be a serious thing. The Federal Bureau of Education says in - *ts rules for the health of school children that children should not drink coffee or tea.

This rule is based on the wellknown fact that the drug element in coffee and tea whips up the nerves, and that serious ills often follow. If it’s a good rule for children to keep away from the harm of nerve-stimulation, isn’t it a good rule for everybody? Think it over. Granted that your body may Btand more, can your judgment afford to risk more? Any doctor

EXAMPLE OF HIGH FINANCE Many Who Go Into the Game Come Out of It Feeling Like This Country Boy. Representative Rosenbloom said at a dinner in Wheeling: “The average man had better leave high finance alone. When the average man goes up against high finance he generally feels like the farm boy. “A city boy had a half-dollar and a circus had Just come to town; but ' tlie cheapest circus ticket cost 75 cents, and this put the city boy In a hole. “But he was a financier in embryo, and so he went right off to a pawnbroker's and pawned his half-dollar for 40 cents. "Afterward he waylaid a country boy, displayed his pawn ticket, and offered to sell It for 35 cents. A halfdollar for 35 cents! Os course the I country boy snapped up that bargain. “The city boy with his 75 cents then hurried off to the circus. The country boy, after he had worked out this deal of his in high finance to the bitter end. sought a retired place and kicked himself.” The Literary Bug. “Now, girlie. I'll put you among the books, department of classics.” “But I’ve been selling lipsticks and rouge. I don't know nothing about classics.” “You don't need to know nothing. Just see that absent-minded gents don't walk off without their change.”— Judge. Not Efficient, However. “The language you use to that mule Is perfectly shocking.” “Yes,” replied the driver, “it seems j to trouble everybody but the mule.”— । Edinburgh Scotsman. Revolver on the hip is always In l mlnd; that’s unpleasant.

RATHER PUT MAMMA IN BAD Her Offspring Had Chosen Decidedly Unpropitious Moment for “Fixiir Billy’s Tees.” My fussy guest was getting ready to make her departure. She was in s hurry, but took time to comment oo life in general and mine in particular. "Children aje all right, I suppose, but so meddlesome. They snatch this and that and spoil everything.” “Not mine,” I interrupted Indig* nantly. “My children have a projier respect for others’ property. They never touch anything that doesn't be long to them.” “Where’s my dental floss?” panted my guest. "It was here a moment , ago.” A frantic search ensued, ending In ; the kitchen. On the floor were yards and yards of dental floss, and at the end of the floss was my youngest i child, her puppy held between her ; knees. “Fixin’ Billy's tees, mummy!” —Chicago Tribune. Genuine Happiness. "Colonel,” the beautiful girl asked, “what was your happiest moment? I suppose it must have been when that medal was pinned on your chest, wasn’t it?” "No,” he replied, "it was night be* fore last. I bad tried to buy a ticket at the box office of one of the theaters but the man at the window told me there was nothing left. I then went to a broker and got a ticket by paying a dollar extra.” "Oh. And did you like the show so much ?” “The show wasn’t any good, but I was happy. The house was less than half filled.” Pocketed pride is worse than cockleburrs in the pocket. Hardly anybody groans much If there is nobody to listen.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson ’ (By RE v C. B. I'nZWalr.h, D. D.. Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.> Copyright. 1922. Western Newspaper Union LESSON FOR MAY 14 HEZEKIAH LEADS HIS PEOPLE BACK TO GOD LESSON TEXT.—II Chron. 30:1-27. GOLDEN TEXT.—God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.— II Chron. 30:9. REFERENCE MATERIAL.—II Chron. 29:31; ch. 32; 34:29-33: Amos 9:7-15. PRIMARY TOPIC.—A King Who Worshiped God. JUNIOR TOPIC. — Hezekiah's Great Passover. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC. —Putting Religion First. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC. —Wise Methods of Reform. I. Hezekiah Proclaims a Passover (vv. 1-18). The way for a sinning and divided people to get back to God and be united. Is around the crucified Lord. 1. The Invitation Was Representative of tlie Nation (v. 2a). The king took counsel with the princes and the congregation to show that the proclamation was the expression of the nation’s desire. 2. The Time Was Unusual (vv. 2b-4). There was not sufficient time to sanctify the people, nor to gather them together at the regular time, so they resolved Instead of postponing it for a year to hold it on the fourteenth day of the second month. This liberty had been granted before in an exigency (Num. 9:6-13). This flexibility with reference to the holding of the passover shows that God s ordinances were made for man and not man for the ordinances. 3. The Scope of the Invitation (vv. 5-9). It Included all of both nations who would come to keep the passover to tlie Lord God of Israel. ‘‘lsrael** is now used to include both kingdoms. The effort was to win back the nation which had seceded. Tlie posts who were sent with the message were authorized to supplement the proclamation with urgent exhortation to join as a united nation. This urgent invitation was tin tfm y put as follows: (1) It touched ancestral memories—- “ Turn again unto the Lord God of Ahruimm, Isaac and Israel” (v. 6). Both kingdoms had a common ancestry. (2) Recent bitter experience—“He not like your fathers, and brethren, who tre-pas^cd against tlie Lord God. and were given up to desolation, as ye i• e” (v. 7). This was a delicate subject, but their ruin was so marktsi that such truth could be pressed. (3) Yearning for captive kinsfolk -"Your brethren and children shall find compassion before their captors" (v. 9). (4) The instinct of sell preservation—"So that they shall come again into this land" (v. 9). (5) The forgiving mercy of God (v. 9). God will not turn any sincere seeker away* from Him. “Him that Cometh unto Me 1 will in no wise east out” (John 6:37). 4. Israel's Reception of the Invitation (vv. 10-12). This Invitation In Israel met a mingled reception. (1) Some mocked. The urgent a; d sincere invitation only excited opposition and ridicule. (2) Some with humble hearts came to Jerusalem. This is ever the case. The gospel is a savor of life unto life and death unto death. 11. The Passover Kept (vv. 13-27). 1. Altars Removed (vv. 13, 14). In the time of Ahaz (ch. 28:24), these heathen altars were erected in Jerusalem. Before there could be worship wf the true God all these traces of idolatry must be removed. This act of the people was voluntary, and shows that a right spirit actuated them. 2. The Passover Killed (v. 15). The zeal of the people was shown in going forward with the service, though the priests were not ready for their task. 3. The Priests and Levites Ashamed (vv. 15-20). The zeal of the people put to shame the priests and Levites. They were stimulated to perform their duties according to the law of God as given by Moses. They even took charge of the killing of the passover, since many of the officers were not sanctified so as to render this service for themselves. Though unprepared ceremonially, yet they took part in this most sacred service and were accepted as worshipers through the intercession of Hezekiah. God accepted the purpose of heart rather than the letter of the law. 4. The Praise of Glad Hearts (vv. 21, 22). They continued seven days with gladness: (1) The Levites and priests sang God’s praise daily on loud instruments (v. 21). (2) Hezekiah's comforting words to the Levites (v. 22). He commended them and their teaching of tlie knowledge of God. (3) They made confession of their sins to God (v. 22). 5. The Passover Prolonged Seven Days (vv. 23-27). The king’s object in prolonging the feast was to make as lasting an impression as possible, so as to result in the thorough conversion of their souls to God. The rejoicing was taken part in by even the strangers that came out of Israel. Not since the days of Solomon was there such an occasion. Things to Put Aside. But now ye also put off all these; anger. wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth. Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds; and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him; where Christ is all and in all —Colossians 3:8-11. Selfish Ambition. Jesus warned His disciples against selfish ambition. Do not let any one tell you that It is a wrong thing for a man to have ambition. Without it a man will never accomplish anything of value. But ambition is perilous when It is entirely selfish and will then seek Its ends no matter who suffers from ft. Selfish ambition has often drenched the world in war and bloodshed.

Cost of "Eats.” The people of the United States spend more than $49,000,000 a day for food or nearly a billion and a half dollars a month. Nearly one-third of the money goes for bread, potatoes, fruits, sugar and other “grub” of a vegetable nature. More than twothirds is spent for meat, fish, eggs, butter, cheese anil lard. The average householder hands over to the butcher more than one-fifth of his income The people of this country consume In a year two and a half billion eggs and nearly ten and a half billion gallons of milk. But a large part of the milk goes to make 1.6U0,(M)0.000 pounds of butter, 466.000.000 pounds of cheese and 260,000.<M)0 gallons of Ice cream.—Pittsburgh Dispatch. ASPIRIN INTRODUCED BY “BAYER” IN 1900 Look for Name "Bayer” on the Tal> lets, Then You Need Never Worry. If you want the true, world-famous Aspirin, as prescribed by physicians for over twenty-one years, you must ask for “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin.” The name “Bayer” is stamped on each tablet and appears on each package for your protection against imitations. —AdvertisemenL Preparedness. An Indianapolis druggist had been rather persistent in endeavoring to collect an account from a man whose credit was rather doubtful. A series of letters, each a little stronger in tone than the one that preceded it, finally brought a reply, as follows: “Dere Sirs —Be Payssbunt. I’d rather owe ye all my life than beet ye out of It. I ain’t fergettin’. When them that owes me pays me you'll get yourn an not before. If ye want no more prepared to meet yore Maker jest now than I am to pay yore bill you shore Is agoin’ to halfax in a hanbaskit.” Sufficient Indication. “When I sees a man playin’ checkers three or four hours every afternoon,” said Uncle Eben, “I don t need no credit men's agency to tell me he don’t have to pay no surtax on his income.” Fools never stop to count the cost until the bill collector calls. Yet most women prefer to become wives rather than angels.

When at last he did manage to catch the waitress’ eye he called to her and said: “There’s something funny about this coffee.

The prisoner was being cross-exam-ined by counsel for the prosecution, when the judge interrupted. “You say you dined at the Hotel Metro.
