Shame on Them. pERHAPS there are a few mothers who do not know the virtues of Fletcher’s Castoria. Perhaps there are a few who know that there are imitations on the market, and knowing this demand Fletcher’s. It is to ALL motherhood, then, that we call attention to the numerous imitations and counterfeits that may be set before them. It is to all motherhood everywhere that we ring out the warning to beware of the u Just-as-good”. For over thirty years Fletcher’s Castoria has been an aid in the upbuilding of our population; an aid in the saving of babies. And yet there are those who would ask you to try something new. Try this. Try that. Even try the same remedy for the tiny, scarcely breathing, babe that you in all your robust womanhood would use for yourself. Shame on them.

Children Cry For I■hKM Ell .4 Pl IkSMXJUUL^ Your Friend, the Physician. The history of all medicines carries with it the story of battles against popular beliefs: fights against prejudice: even differences of opinion among scientists and men devoting their lives to research work; laboring always for the betterment of mankind. This information is at the hand of all physicians. He is with you at a moment’s call be the trouble trifling or great. He is your friend, your household counselor. He is the one to whom you can always look for advice even though it might not be a case of sickness. He is not just & doctor. He is a student to his last and final call. His patients are his family and to lose one is little less than losing one of his own flesh and blood. Believe him when he tells you—as he will —that Fletcher’i Castoria has never harmed the littlest babe, and that it is a good thing to keep in the house. He knows.

Bells Made of Porcelain. In a few weeks the cathedral of Metz will possess the famous chimes of 60 porcelain bells of which so much has been said. It Is said that the I tone of these bells leaves nothing to Ibe desired. As to their solidity, they seem to be of the first order. Until now no such use has been ! made of porcelain, a fact which will make of the chimes of Metz an tin- j equaled curiosity. It is recalled, •however, that at Missen, where the manufacture of the so-called “Dresden” china was carried on from 1710 to 1863, there is a house constructed of that material.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL Sunday School ' Lesson' (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D., Teacher of English Hible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1922. Western Newspaper Union. LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 10 TEACHING THE LAW OF GOD LESSON TEXT—Neh. 8:1-18. j GOLDEN TEXT-Teach me. O Lord, tlie way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end — Ps. 119:33. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Deut. 6:V9; Acts 17:1-9, 10-15; Col. 1:9-11. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Joy of Learning God’s Word. JUNIOR TOPIC—How a Whole City Heard God’s Word. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC : —The Power of the Word of God. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Community Bible Study. It will be of interest and profit to present this lesson as an Ideal Suni day school class; 1. A Model Bible Class (vv. 1-0). 1. The Eager Assembly (v. 1). The j people gathered themselves together ’ ami “spake unto Ezra to bring the I book of the Law.” It was not a matter of the teacher urging the class to come together, but the class with yearning hearts requesting the teacher to come with God's Word. What a delight to tench Mich a class I It is a most undesirable task to feed a Child which is unw’lling to eat. People need to come frequently together to hear God's Word. Th*' Bible is the only book for the Sundaj school. 2. The Representative Assembly (v. 2). The class was made up of men, women and children. The men then did not leave the church-going to the women. Neither were the children left at home with nurses or to play ol) the streets. Cod's Word should be] taught to all classes, men, women and i children. 3. An Appreciative Assembly (v. 3). ; Their ears were attentive from morn-I Ing to midday. So eager were they to know God's Word that they did , not get tired although the lesson , • lasted for five or six hours. There was no pulling of watches in that class. 4. Due Reverence Sh o\n God's Word (vv. 4,5). When Ezra opem‘d i the Law all the people stood tip. This they did out of respect for the holy j book. The reason there is not proper reverence for the Bible I- that people are not taught to believe it is God s I ! Woril. Reverence In the bonne of God j will only be when the Bible is regarded , ns God's ven word* o. They Joined Heartily In the Prayer (v 6). As Ezra led them In prayer the । pie Joined heartily In saving “Amen' Amen!” bowing their faces to the ground. 11. A Model Bible Teacher (vv 7, s). 1. He Stood Up Where the People Could See Him (v. a). The position and bearing of the teacher has much to do with tin* attention and interest of the chis*. 2. He Rend Distinctly (v. 8). Teachers should take particular heed to this. Much Bible reading is greatly to the discredit of tin- Word and the reader. 3. Caused the People to Understand the Reading (v. 8). Tlie supreme business of the teacher is to make the Word of God so plain that all, old and young, can understand. HI. The Impressions Made (vv. 9- I ,Sh J Ihe effect of teaching God’s Word is most important. In this case it was very encouraging. 1. Conviction of Sin (v. 9). The Word of God brings conviction of sin (Acts 2:37). it is quick and powerful (Heb. 4:12). The way to get conviction of sin is by teaching the Word of God, m>t by appealing to the emotions Hy telling death-bed stories. The people had real cause for sorrow—they were । far from God. They not only had become worldly and the rich were in their greed oppressing tlie poor, but they were perplexed through their mix *d marriages. What conviction of sin the teaching of God's Word would effect today along this line! 2. Weeping Turned Into Joy (vv. 1012). When sins have been perceived and confessed God would not have His children to be sail. Continued mourning will not atone for the sins that are past. It unfits one for present tasks ami dishonors a pardoning God. Besides, joy has a salutary effect upon one’s entire being. It quickens the circulation of the blood and gives buoyancy to life. “The joy of the Lord is your strength” (v. 10). 3. Shared Their Blessings With i Others (vv. 10-12). Christianity is not i having a good time alone; it is shar- ■ Ing our prosperity with others. True * joy manifests itself in giving to others, j Pure religion goes out to minister to ; the poor (Jas. 1 :27). 4. Tlie People Obeyed (vv. 13-18). In their acquaintance with the Scrip- : tures they found that the Feast of Tabernacles had been long neglected. As soon as they understood the ScripI tures they went forth to do as they I had been told. They went to work and kept this sacred feast in away that it had not been kept since the days of Joshua (v. 17). If the Scriptures j were real ami made plain many things I could be found which have not been ■ complied with. In the keeping of this • feast thdy dwelt in booths, thus typifying tl-eir pilgrim character and bringing to their remembrance the days of (heir wilderness journey. As children of Abraham we should look forward to a city which hath foundations. Why Go to Church? Tlie churches keep alive the sense jof the greatness of humanity. If 1 i did not go to church for anything else, । 1 should go for this. The sm’mon might lie stupid; then I should not listen to it. The prayers might not suit me; then I should pass them by. The music might grate on my ear; 1 should try not to hear it. One would be there greater than the temple; greater than its liturgy, its prayers, Its priests, its ritual, my brother, man bowed before my Father, God. —James Freeman Clarke.

PRIDE IN SCHOOLS Dominant Feeling Among Settlers in Western Canada. Despite “Newness" of the Country, There Are No Better Institutions of Learning Anywhere. There Is frequently hesitation expressed by those whose minds are almost made up to move to the agricultural lands of Western Canada, that the children will not enjoy the school privileges afforded them In their present surroundings. This Is a reasonable doubt. The country Is new. It is within the memory of many who will read this that the bison roamed these prairies at will, that there were no railroads, no settlements beyond that of some of the Hudson Bay posts, a few courageous ranchmen and Indians. It was a country of unknown quantity. It is different today, and It has been made different In that short time because of the latent stores of wealth hidden in the land, which has been made to yield bountifully through the daring enterprise of the pioneer and the railways that had the courage to extend their enterprising lines of steel throughout Its length and a great portion of its breadth. Villages and hamlets have developed into towns and towns into cities, supported and maintained by those who. coming practically from all parts of the world, ami many, yes, thousands, from the neighboring states to the south, have taken up land that cost them but a trifle as compared with what they were atde to dispose of the holdings upon which they had been living for years. These i people brought with them a method In life that electrified and changed the ' entire Canadian West. Today things are different, and a trip to Western Canada ’ ill show a country new but ' old. New because changes have been wrought that give to the newcomer ‘ | the opport unity to become part or a ! | growing and developing country—it gives the chance to say what shall b« j made of It ; oid because there has been brought Into .its life those things ! that have proven useful In older countries. whde there has been eliminated everything that would tend to a backward stage. A writer, dealing with •octal matters, treats of the schools, ■nd says; “Everywhere the school follows the ■ plow. Cities which a few years ago ' were represent.-d by scattered shacks | are proud today of their school buildings. The web of education is being | spread over the prairie. Lately, I however, a new policy has been adopted. Instead of many rural s>ho«ds, big central schools are being established. each serving an area of fifty square miles or so. and chlblren who live a mile and a half away are conveyed thither in wellwarmed motor cars in the summer, of course, they come on “bikes” or ponies. “Ami the young idea Is taught to shoot in many directions. The Instruction is n<>t limited to the 'three R's, but nature study and manual crafts are taught, in order that the future agriculturist may have his educational foundation laid. Many rural schools have pleasant gardens attached, with flower ami. vegetable beds, and the visitor to one such school deep in the • rountry says she will never forget the pride with which a little lad showed her the patch of onions in his plot. Thrift is also taught in the schools i by means of the dime bank. “Following the primary schools there ! nrp secondary s,-bools, where training i la free. This Includes daisies, modern languages, science, mathematics, advanced English, and often agricultural, commercial, and technical subjects, ami—but this concerns the girls—household economics. For three years this lasts, ami then comes matriculation into the university, a matriculation which admits direct to the arts or science degree, or the education , may be completed by a course in some [ special subject at a technical institute.” —Advertisement. Aviators Had Best of It. According to French statistics, there was less danger of death in the World war to officers who fought in the air than to those who combated on the ; earth. Twenty-nine per cent of infantry officers were killed while only 21 per cent of aviation officers lost their ‘ lives. A life of loafing is less criticised away from home.

YOUNG GIRLSNEED GARE Mothers, watch your Daughters’ Health Health Is Happiness

From the time a girl reaches the age of twelve until womanhood is established, she needs all the care a thoughtful mother can give. The condition that the girl is then passing through is so critical, and may have such far-reaching effects upon her future happiness and health, that it is almost criminal for a mother or guardian to withhold counsel or advice. Many a woman has suffered years of prolonged pain and misery through having been the victim of thoughtlessness or ignorance on the part of those who should have guided her through the dangers and difficulties that beset this period. Mothers should teach their girls what danger comes from standing around with cold or wet feet, from lifting heavy articles, and from overworking. Do not let them over-study. If they complain of headache, pains in the back and lower limbs, they need a mother’s thoughtful care and sympathy. A Household Word in Mother’s House writes Mrs. Lynd, about Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “My mother gave me Lydia E., Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound when I was 14 years old for troubles girls often have and for loss of weight. Then after I married I took the Vegetable Compound before each child was bom and always when I felt the least run down. Both my

A Slight Difference. Miss Elizabeth Marbury was talking at the Colony club in New York about a beautiful actress who had been obliged <> divorce her actor husband after three months of wedlock on account of his shocking infidelity. “Tlie poor girl thought,” said Miss Marbury, “that she was marrying a man who would be constant In love, but he turned out to be constantly In love.” FREEDOM FROM LAXATIVES Discovery by Scientists Has Replaced Them. Pills and salts give temporary relief from constipation only at the expense of permanent injury, says an eminent medical authority. -Science has found a newer, better wav —a means as simple as Nature itself. in perfect health a natural lubricant keeps the food waste soft and moving. But when constipation exists this natural lubricant is not sufficient. Medi- ' cal authorities have found that the gentle lubricating action of Nujol most closely resembles that of Nature's own lubricant. As Nujol is not a laxative ‘ it cannot gripe. It is in no sense a medicine. And like pure water it is : harmless and pleasant. Nujol is prescribed by physicians; j used in leading hospitals. Get a bottle from your druggist today. —Advertisement.

When I ! lived on a farm all you had to do was plant, cultivate, mend fences, hoe weeds, milk cows, slaughter pigs, doctor sick chickens, fix windmills, go to town after the mail, argy with lighti nin' rod agents, attend the county fair once a year, cut wheat an’ have it thrashed, shuck corn, churn butter, dig potatoes, buy fertilizer, mend the broken plow with a piece o' wire, break colts, wash the wool and do things like that.
