TANLAC KEEPS HIM FIT, SAYS McGRAW Has Used It for Years With Splendid Results—Fine for Run Down Condition. “For four years Tanlac has kept me In the pink of condition as I take a few doses of It every time I feel a little run down anti it always builds me up again,” said Win. A. McGraw, 207 Beach Place, Tampa, Fla. “I began taking Tanlac* first about four years ago when I was in a very : bad state of health and had been run i down for several years. I was always j taking laxatives, too, but I believe thej- did me more harm than good. “Tanlac made me feel like a brand new man in a very short time and I have never had a return of any of my old troubles. The reason of this I am firmly convinced is that I always have Tanlac handy and take a few doses every time I feel a bit under the weather.” Tanlac Is sold by all good druggists. Some men give most of their atten- । tion to things that never happen. WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND SWAMP-ROOT For many years druggists have watched with much interest the remarkable record : maintained by Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine. It is a physician’s prescription. Swamp-Root is a strengthening medicine. It helps the kidneys, liver and bladder do the work nature intended they should do. Swamp-Root has stood the test of years. It is sold by all druggists on its merit and it should help you. No other kidney medicine has so many friends. Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start treatment at once. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this paper.— Advertisement.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ’ Lesson ’ (By REV. I’. B. FITZWATER. D. D.. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody 1 Bible Institute of Chicago.l Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR JUNE 4 JEHOIAKIM TRIES TO DESTROY GOD S WORD LESSON TENT—Jeremiah 36. GOLDEN TEXT—The Word of our God shall stand forever.—lsa. 40;S. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Isa. 55:8-11; Matt. 5:17-19. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Burning of a Good Book. J UNIC TOPlC—Jehoiak Ini Burns the 1 Prophet’s Book. INTERM EDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A King Who Scorned God’s Word. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —How to Meet the Forces Antagonistic to God’s Word. I. The Book Being Written (vv. 1-1)-. 1. The Time of (v. 1). In the fourth year of Jehoiakitu, Jeremiah had been exercising the prophetic ministry some thirty years. 2. Against Whom Spoken (v. 2). I They were directed against Israel, Judah ami all the nations from the time he began his ministry to the time of the utterance of this prophecy. 3. The Purpose of (v. 3). The grand object of the Lord in sending this message by the prophet was Judah’s repentance. The purpose back of all God’s utterances of judgment is the repentance of His people tn order that lie might forgive their iniquity and their sin (11 Pet. 3:9). 4. Method of (v. 4). Jeremiah dictated the words of the Lord to Baruch the Scribe, who wrote them upon a roll of a book. This roll was parchment usually attached at both ends to a roller of wood. 11. The Book Being Read (vv. 5-21). Jeremiah was unable to speak the message of the Lord to the people, as he was “shut up” (v. 5). “Shut up" most likely means a royal ban against Jeremiah's proclamation of God's Word to the people or against his entering the temple. From verse 19 it seems that he was free to go about among the people. 1. To the People (vv. 6-10). The occasion which brought the people together was a day of fasting (v. 6), because of the threatening of the Babylonians. Jeremiah directed Baruch to rend to the people the words of the Lord which he had dictated to him, with tin* hope that the people would present their supplication before the Lord and return every one from his evil way. 2. To the Princes (vv. 11-19). While the reading of the book unto tin* people seemingly created no great Impression, yet Mlchalah was so deeply moved that he went to the scribe's chamber where the princes were assembh*d and declared unto them all the words which he had heard Baruch read. The princes sent for Baruch to come ami bring the roll with them. Baruch came and read to them with the result that (1) they , were aroused with fear (v. 1G). (2) They inquired as to how he had written the words (vv. 17. IS). To f.is he < replied that he had writt^ tn the book Mie words whiU* ,- femlah had dictateii Their concern for the safety of Jeremiah and Baruch (v. 19). They were instructed to hide themselves from man’s sight. 3. To the Kinv (vv. 20. 21). The princes regarded the words of the Lord to be of such importance that they should be read in the hearing of the king, for lie was mainl.v Involved in the judgments pronmmced. Upon their report of the matter to the king, he had Jehudl bring the roll and read it to him in the presence of the princes 111. The King Destroying the Roll (vv 22-26). Instead of becoming penitent and ; afraid he became enraged and cut the roll leaf by leaf and threw it into the ! fire until it was consumed. This he , did against the intercession of some of the princes. When the roll was destroyed he ordered Jeremiah and Baruch arrested. IV. The Roll Rewritten (vv. 27-32). The burnt roll was reproduced by the command of the Lord, and many like words were added unto them. We should learn from this incident—1. The Indestructibility of God's Word. Mon may cut it to pieces and bum it. but the Word of God shall stand forever. It comes to light again with woes added to be visited upon its would-be destroyers. 2. The reason men attempt to destroy God’s Word. It is because of the authoritative rebuke of their sins. The Bible arraigns man for his pride and wickedness and asserts God’s sovereign power over man and his demand for a personal surrender unto Him and worship of Him. 3. The Method of Attempted Destruction of God’s Word. It was part by part. “When Jehudl had read three or four leaves he cut it with a penknife.” The rationalist today cuts ; out the biblical conception of God as a being whose essential nature demands punishment of sin; therefore ' he cuts out the Bible doctrine of man as created of God in His likeness and Image. Instead of that he makes man a product of evolution; therefore he explains away the fall of man. Saul, the Son of Kish. Now there was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah. a Benjamite, a mighty man of power. And he had a son, whose name was Saul, a choice young man. and a goodly: and there was not among the Children of Israel a goodlier person than ne: I f>’<»m his shoulders upward he was higher than any of the people.—l Samuel 9:1, 2. Happiness. Blessed are the happiness-makers! Blessed are they that are without friction, that make the course of life smooth and the intercourse of men ’ gentle.—He^vy Ward Beecher.

FREIGHT RATES SLASHED BY U.S. Interstate Commerce Body Orders Reduction Averaging About 10 Per Cent. ARE EFFECTIVE ON JULY 1 Commission Holds Nation’s Railroads Are Entitled to Earn 5% Per Cent on the Value of Their Property Instead of 6 Per Cent. Washington, May 26. —Reduction in freight rates averaging about 10 per cent was ordered by the interstate commerce commission in a decision resulting from its inquiry into the general rate structure of the nation. The cut in rates was fixed by the commission at 14 per cent in eastern territory; 13U per cent in western territory, and 12*2 per cent in southern and Mountain-Pacific territories. All reductions ordered are effective July 1 and constitute a greater cut than was generally expected. The seeming discrepancy in the rail rate cuts is due to the fact that the new rates do not cover all articles; the new average, however, will be 10 per cent lower. The commission in ordering the decreases—which are on a horizontal basis field that the nation’s railroads are entitled to earn 5% per cent on the value of their property rather than the approximate 6 per cent fixed as a reasonable return under the trmsportat ion act of 1920. Transportation charges on passenger and Pullman travel were left unaffected by this decision. Agricultural products will not be affected by the reduction granted un- . der the commissioner's order. The r*duetion of IO I *, per cent made in the j western hay and grain rates last fall and the voluntary Hip. rcent cut made i In nil agricHltural products by railroads January 1 will be substitute.! for the decision on these commodities. The order of the commission fixing the new level of rates defined the percentage of reduction ns follows: “In the eastern group, also between points in Illinois territory and between Illinois territory and the eastern group. 2*5 per cent instead of the •10 per cent authorized in tin* decisions last cited (the rate increases of 1926). "in the western group and between the western group and Illinois territory 21 ,'-l»> per cent instead of the 35 per cent so authorized. “In the southern and MountainPacific groups. 12 5-10 per cent in st* :id of the 25 per cent so authorized. “On inter-territorial tratlic except as otherwise provided herein 20 per cent Instead of the :13 1-3 per cent so authorized." “Transporration charm s htu.e mount- ' e<l to tin- ?*»int where thev are imped- ; Ing the fre flow of <ommerc«>." said tlie commission's decision, which <>r- I tiered a far greater reduction of rates i than had been anticipated in any quarter, “and are thus tending to defeat the purpose for which they were •SMijUJished. that of producing revenue which enable the carriers to provide tlie people of the United States with adequate transportation." only two members of the board, Commissioners I.ev^ and Cox. dissented. holding that tlie adjustments should have been made in commodity rates rather than on it horizontal basis. Chairman McChor,] and other commissioners accepted this view in a supplemental opinion. The majority further said that “until the public is convinced that there is little likelihood of immediate further material reductions in prices or transportation charges confidence necessary to normal business will to that extent be impaired."

Washington, May 26. —Representatives of the Bethlehem Steel company and several other largo steel and iron companies promised the government to indefinitely postpone plans for a proposed merger of their properties pending investigations being conducted ! by the Department of Justice and the federal trade commission.

"DIVOKCE RING” THE LATEST Fad Recently Adopted by Those Freed From the Marital Tie by Court Proceedings. From time Immemorial woman has worn on the third finger of her left hand a plain band of gold as a symbol of her honored position of wifehood. And when death takes from her the partner of her life she signifies her loss and grief by wearing appropriate garb. But in what a different manner today the widow of the present, that is, the one who by the sanction of the courts, has resigned her job as wife, makes known to all the world her renewed state of single blessedness. For the grass widow of today has ; adopted the latest of fads, the “divorce ring." The jeweled symbol of the severance of the marital tie takes the place of the former gold band. It is made of gold or platinum on which Is mounted a broken Cupid's bow at the end of which is set a jewel to represent a divorce. Should the wearer once more embark on the matrimonial seas and again come to wreck then another jewel is added to Indicate the second divorce, and so on. It is a pleasant task for a man to pull the weeds that grow upon a pretty widow’s bonnet —sometimes.

Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man’s medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would I be tolerated by specialists in children’s diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby’s medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby’s food. A Baby’s stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don’t be deceived. Make a mental note of this:—lt is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily prepared for grown-ups.

MADE HIS MEANING CLEAR Old Darky’s Description of Wife’s Failing Aptly Spelled Out Word He Didn’t Understand. Moses Diggs, an old Alabama darky, had been arrested for having more than one wife, the last woman being the complainant. He happened to be well known locally and considered an j orderly character. “How many wives have you had?” demanded the examining ju^e-e. “Six, yo’ honah,” was the reply. “Why couldn’t you get on with j them?” “Well, suh, de fust two sp’iled de white folks’ clo’s when dey washed 'em; de thu'd worn’t no cook; de fo'th was ject nacherally lazy; an’ de fifth —l'll tell you’, jedge, de fifth, she—” “Incompatibility?" “No, yo’ honah,” said the negro, slowly, “it worn’t nothin’ like dat. Yo’ j jest couldn’t git on with her onless yo’ was somewhars else.” —Harper’s Magazine. — The Splendid Matches. “She’s making a splendid match.” “So? How much is the man worth?” We live and learn.

Planet Without Oxygen. According to the spectroscopic studies made at the Mount Wilson ob servatory of the light received fron Venus, no oxygen-absorption lines an found. This indicates that there is no oxygen or water vapor in the outer atmosphere of Venus, and furthermore that the reflected light of the sun must have penetrated to a considerable depth. • It therefore appears necessary to attribute the great brightness of Venus to some other cause than that of high reflective power of water-vapor clouds, and this apparent absence of oxygen must be considered in connection with speculations as to the conditions of the planet.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.
