HOW TWO WOMEN ESCAPED OPERATIONS Doctor Advised Use of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Happy Results in Both Cases

St.Joseph,Missouri.—“Both of my sides swelled and hurt me so that I could not move or do any of my work. There was heavy pressure and pains through my lower organs ana the doctor told me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound for these troubles. He said I had this one chance, and if the Vegetable Compound did not help me nothing but an operation would. After taking several bottles I felt it was helping me and now I am able to do my own work. If my testimonial will help others I shall be glad for them to read it and hope your Vegetable Compound will do them as much good as it did me.’’ — Mrs. Wm. Lockman, 513 N. 4th St, St Joseph, Mo. White Plains, N. Y. —“I had such a Sain that I could hardly walk and the octor said that I needed an operation. I was sick for a year before I started taking your medicine and I could not work. I saw your advertisement in a little book and that is how I came to take Lydia E- Pinkham’s medicines. I have been taking the Vegetable Compound and Lydia E.

BIBLE ASCRIBED TO SATAN Evil One Declared to Have Assisted Monk to Perform Work, for a Fearful Price. One of the most famous copies of the Scriptures in existence Is the one which bears the curious title, “The Devil's Bible.” It is an exquisite piece of workmanship, Inscribed on 300 asses’ skins, and was taken to Stockholm at the conclusion of the Thirty .Years’ war. According to tradition this Bible was the work of a poor monk who was condemned to death for some defection, but was told that the sentence would be commuted If he would copy out on asses’ skins the entire Bible In a single night. He agreed to try to do it but, finding the task too great, made a compact with the devil to exchange his soul for the required transcript. The devil kept his part of the bargain, and the work was finished on time. The monk’s life was spared by his marveling judges, but tradition Is silent as to how he kept his end of the agreement. The man who has more than the other fellow should do more. A man who has no sense of humor is naturally short of sense.

Babe and Bebe. A teacher was giving a lesson In ' grammar. On the blackboard she placed the words “he” and “she." She then said. “ ‘He’ Is masculine and 'she' Is feminine. Now can any of you pupils give me a similar example?” Soon a hand shot up, and she nodded to the boy and said: Come to the blackboard and write your example.” lie wrote “Babe Ruth” and “Bebe Daniels,” and then he explained, “ ‘Babe’ is masculine and ‘Bebe’ 1* feminine.” For Women of Fame.

ASSERT BUSINESS I ON THE UPGRADE Trade Conditions Throughout Country Reported by 30.000 Manufacturers. COAL STRIKE ENDS IN JULY? Secretary Hoover Urges Legislation to Remove Uncertainties Regarding Trade Association Activities— Would Amend Clayton Act. Now York, May 12.—Business and ■ trade conditions throughout the United ■ States, as reported by BO.OtM) manu- . facturers to John E. Edgerton, presI ident of the National Association of Manufacturers, show a “stable, sane, I definite and continuing advance.” “We have not only turned the corner,” was Mr. Edgerton's summary of I a survey of industry just completed, i "we are now leaving it very far behind. Business is on tb^ upgrade in practically all of the basic industries." Hie survey was made by questionnaires, answers to which were received within the last 24 hours so that , it was declared to represent conditions as of today. Coal operators an* predicting that । the strike in the bituminous industry | “will be smashed before July 1,” J. D. L. Morow. vice president of the Na- ' tiona! <’oal association, asserted in an ■ address before the manufacturers. Mr. Morow declared tin* operators are opposed to any form of nationalization of the coal industry. "In the steel industries today," says the summary, "the survey shows conditions classed as excellent among | per cent of our memltership, 25 per ■ cent as good, 52 per cent as fair and j 17 per cent as poor. In the textile | industry 70 per cent of them report conditions running from fair to excellent and 30 per cent report poor coni ditions. "In three industries where retrenchment is ordinarily acutely felt —auto- I I mobiles, jewelry and leather—the I 1 showing is not by any means gloomy. ■ although not so good as In other lines. I From the auto trades good reports are , ' TO jmt cent : in Jewelry 50 per cent | and in leather 00 per cent. "Ail of these businesses, from steel ‘ to jewelry, report prospects for high percentages of increase between now I and fall." Neu legislation to remove the uncertainties regarding trade association activities was suggested by Secretary I Hoover of the Itepartment of Com- j I merce in an address here before Xhe association. "Without entering into legal formu--1 latlon,” Mr. Hoover said, ■'my su^-’es-i tion is that there should be a minor 'extension of the Clayton act to the effect that interstate trade associations should be permitted to tile with some appropriate governmental agency I the plan of their operations and the • functions they propose to carry on. and that upon approval of such of these functions ns do not apparently ' contravene the restraint of trade acts | they may proceed with their operations. "If, upon complaint, however, either , of individuals or the law officers of the government, that these functions do | restrain trade, after a hearing and proof, the right to continue these particular functions shall be .suspended, I and. if continued, they shall be subject ।to i isecution. Also, if it shall be ' proved that they have extended their activities beyond the functions in their ' original proposals they shall be subi ject to prosecution for restraint of trade violations.” FARMING OUT LABOR ILLEGAL U.

REFERENCE MATERIAL,. — Deut. 6: 6-9; Josh. 1:8; Col. 3:16; II Tim. 2:15; 3:14-16. PRIMARY TOPIC.— How the Lost Bible Was Found. JUNIOR TOPlC.—Hilklah Discovers the Lost Bible. INTERMEDIATEAND SENIOR TOPIC. —How to Make the Bible Our Own. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC. —The Authority and Influence of the Bible. About a hundred years elapsed between the reformation under Hezekiah and that of Josiah. Some time during this time the book of God’s law had been lost. Two wicked kings bad reigned in this interval. The Lord had given Hezekiah much wealth. His son Manasseh, coming into possession of his father's property, and being ungodly, would naturally neglect the Bible, if m>t purposely try to put It from sight. Those who do not obey the law of God, are usually Interested in putting it out of sight. I. The Book of the Law Found (w. 14-17). 1. The Occasion (v. 14). It was while repairing the temple during Josiah’s reformation that the law was discovered. 2. Tin* Book Delivered to the King (vv, 15-17). Upon making a report to the king of work done, the king was told of the finding of the book of the law by Hilklah, and the book delivered to him. 11. The Effect of the Reading of the Law (vv. 18-28). Shaphan the Scribe rend the law before the king. 1. The King Rent Ills Clothes (v. 19). As the law was rend before him he was led to realize more seriously the awful extent of the nation’s departure from God. He knew that sin merited punishment. The function of the law Is to reveal sin. The man who will honestly hear the demands of God’s law will fall upon his knees before God and cry for mercy. The rending of the royal robes indicated that the king was penitently sorrowful. 2. The King Sent a Deputation to Miike Inquiry of the Lord (vv. 20, 21). The king included himself in the guilt before God. "Go inquin* for me and for them that are left, for great is । the wrath of the Lord that Is poured out upon us." His sense of sin was so keen that he sent them to inquire as to whether there was any means of averting the judgments of the Lord. Instinctively the human heart turns from Gods threatening judgments to a means of escape. The soul that sorrows for sin Inquires for away of escape. The law prepares for the gospel. The law Is our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ. The soul under condemnation inquires, “What must I do to be saved?” 3. The Message of Huldah, the Prophetess (vv. 22-28). (1) Confirmation of what the law said (vv. 22-25). She said that all the curses written in the law must fall, for the sins had been so flagrant that God’s wrath could not be restrained. Destruction was hanging over Jerusalem and it was too late to avert it. I, was not too late to repent to obtain mercy from God, but the outward consequence of sin must be realized. This finds fulfillment on every hand today. The murderer must hang. His soul may go directly to heaven, provided he has accepted Jesus Christ. (2) Acceptance of Josiah’s repentance (vv. 26-28). Because of his tenderness of heart and deep penitence, the Lord said be shoula be gathered to his grave in peace, and should not see nil the evil to be brought on Jerusalem and its people. What Huldah said was true even though Josiah died in battle (35: 23-25). When God accepts a man and forgives him, his death is a peaceful one even though it may be on the battlefield. God’s presence is with him and he thus will go straight to the heavenly home. 111. The Law Obeyed (vv. 29-33). 1. The King Read the Law (vv. 29, 30). He gathered together the inhabitants of Jerusalem, including the priests, Levites and elders, and read unto them the law. 2. The King Made a Covenant Before the Lord to Keep His Commandments and Testimonies (vv. 31, 32). This was done sincerely—with all his heart and soul. He caused all that were present to stand to it. 3. The king took away all the abominations out of all the countries that pertained to Israel (v. 33). All the days of the king they departed not from following after the Lord. Friendships of Youth. There are few things that affect our lives as deeply as the friendships we make in youth. J hose are the formative years, and the closer the friendship, the greater the influence. Those are our imitative years and we imitate those whom we love or admire. Character then is as plastic as clay in the potter’s hand. Would that every young person were blessed with one staunch and true friend, whose influence would always be for truth and righte msness. The best friend of all is our Lord, and next to Him are those who take Him as their guide and master. The Greatest Wealth. Take your duty, and be strong in it, as God will make you strong. The harder it is, the stronger in fact you will be. Understand, also, that the great question hero is, not what you will get, but what you will become. The gre Wst wealth you can ever get will be in yourself. Take your burdens and troubles and losses ami wrongs, if come they must and will, as your opportunity, knowing that God has girded you for greater things than these. — Horace Bushnell.

Why Castoria? YEARS ago Castor Oil, Paregoric, Drops and Soothing Syrups were the remedies in common use for Infants and Children; Castor Oil so nauseating as to be almost impossible and the others all containing Opium in one form or another, but so disguised as to make them pleasant to the taste, yet really to stupify the child and give the appearance of relief from pain. It required years of research to find a purely vegetable combination that would take the place of these disagreeable, unpleasant and vicious remedies that from habit had become almost universal. This was the inception of, and the reason for, the introduction of Fletcher’s Castoria, and for over 30 years it has proven its worth, received the praise of Physicians everywhere and become a household word among mothers. A remedy ESPECIALLY prepared for Infants and Children an(bno mother would think of giving to her baby a remedy that she would use tor herself without consulting a physician.
