Backache Is a Warning! | Those agonizing twinges across the small of the back, that dull, throbbing backache may mean serious kidney weakness—serious, if neglected, for it may lead to gravel, stone in the kidneys, bladder inflammation, dropsy or fatal Bright's disease. If you are suffering with a bad back, have dizzy spells, headaches, nervous, despondent attacks or disordered kidney action, heed Nature’s warning. Get after the cause.

The thousands of farmers from the United States who have accepted Canada’s generous offer to settle on FREE homesteads or buy farm land in her provinces have been well repaid by bountiful crops. There is still available on easy terms Fertile Land at sls to S3O an Acre •—land similar to that which through many years has yielded from 20 to 45 bushels of wheat to the acre —oats, barley and flax also in great abundance, while raising cattle, sheep and hogs is equally profitable. Hundreds of farmers in Western Canada have raised crops in a single season worth more than the whole cost of their land. With such success comes prosperity, independence, good homes and all the comforts and conveniences which make life worth living.

Entertaining Hildegarde g x By JANE OSBORN g <© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) The telegram came on the 10th of June. Tiie dance was set for the 15th. Hildegarde Blaxton opened the yellow envelope at dinner and read: “Can you come to senior dance on the 15th? Must have you. Tom.” “What is it, daughter?” asked Mr. Blaxton, and Hildegarde blushed, and then blushed more furiously through vexation with herself for blushing. “It s an invitation from Tom Frobisher to the senior dance. 1 would love to go.” “But the railroad fare alone would cost $60,” commented an elderly sister. “I thought Tom was only a junior—he must be a couple of years younger than you,” said Mrs. Blaxton, with an air of one who merely seeks information. “He’s not a whole year younger,” she said and then: “But what difference does that make? —Just because you<o to a dance with the man doesn't mean that you’re going to marry him.” “Well, 1 don't understand at all,” sighed Mr. Blaxton. “The nerve of young men of today who expect a girl to spend hundreds of dollars on carfare to go to dances with them and then don t intend to marry them —” “Pooh,” scoffed Hildegarde. “Maybe the young men want to marry the girls, but maybe the girls won’t have them—. If I went to this dance with Tom Frobisher I should go because 1 haven't been anywhere all winter or Spring. It would do me a lot of good. I’d see all the old crowd and meet some new people. It wouldn’t be because I expected to marry Tom Frobisher —necessarily.” “All I have to say, then,” said Mr. Blaxton, “is that I shall not finance the trip.” So saying he finished his small cup of coffee and followed his wife’s lead to leave the table. That night before Hildegrade retired she went to her father. “I think I shall go to the dance with Tom. It will cost only SIOO. I have clothes enough on hand. 1 shall spend that SIOO I earned tutoring the Bailey children. You don’t object, of course? There are chaperones ns soon as we get there.” “When a girl of today announces her plans,” said Mr. Blaxton. "a mere father has nothing further to say.” So Hildegarde s acceptance of Tom Frobisher’s invitation nad not been rose strewn from the first. For the last 50 miles of her trip Hildegarde forgot the spirit of rebellion mingled with regret that s{>olled her peace of mind, i^ the company of Dudley Barr, whom she had met at a house party a year before and who now was counted as one of the most brilliant young men on the faculty of Frobisher's college. At the station they parted. Dudley to hurry off with a very polite dotting of the hat and Hildegarde to be met with effusive and rather spectacular greetings by Tom Frobisher. It was the day before the dance. That evening there was a little getacquainted dance at the frat house. Following tradition, Tom Frobisher took Hildegarde to Neal's for tea in the afternoon. Dudley Barr chanced to be at Neal's —not indulging in afternoon tea, but ' indulging his sweet tooth with pastry and incidentally making observations on the students on parade who always amused him. He caught sight of Tom Frobisher and Hildegarde at a small table ami then, to his surprise, saw Tom rather ungraciously leave Hildegarde to go to speak to a group of young people at a table next to his. Elaborate greetings were exchanged and Tom regarded the overdressed flappers there with manifest approval. “Who’s the peach with you?” asked one of the men. “Oh, that’s Hildegarde Blaxton.” “I thought your best girl’s name was Rose,” teased one of the flappers. “Maybe Rose is my best girl—” beamed Tom Frobisher, “but there has to be a second best, you know. Rose was coming, but the last thing her dad held up the funds. She lives way out In Frisco. But she’s coming next year, if she has to walk. That’s what her telegram said.” “She’ll have to look out.” winced one of the overdressed flappers, “or the charming Hildegarde will vamp you away.” “Swell chance,” promised Tom Frobisher, and then strutted Lack to Hildegarde. Dudley Barr lingered long over his pastry. Then when Tom and Hildogarde had risen from their table and I Tom had gone ahead to settle his account at the desk, Dudley strode quickly to Hildegarde's side. “Miss Blaxton,” he said without much ceremony, “will you go to the

, HAVE FOOD DELIVERED BY WAVES

Nature Has Arranged It So That Sand Fiddlers Find Little Difficulty in Subsisting. The houses of the agile and lively sand fiddlers are burrows dug out along the ocean beach just below the high-tidi* line, and extending down ward a foot or more at a very steep angle. When the tide comes in they crawl into their burrows and the beating of the wavelets soon stops their doors with sand. When the tide has begun to ebb an ’ leaves the wet beach, they dig themselves out and toddle down to the water’s edge. Each wavelet of the receding tide casts up on the leach a ti: y “windrow" of sard. There is. however, much more that sand in this windrow. Among the sa id grains are caught and left countless numbers of microscopic plants and animals that dwell at the •urface of the sea. The fiddlers walk ulong tin* windrows as they are 1

i baseball game with me tomorrow aft- I j ernoon?” Hildegarde looked around anxiously j to see if Toin were overhearing, “I I > should love to, but isn’t It customary i for the man who asks a girl to a | ; senior dance to take her to the baser ball game, too?” j “It certainly is.” agreed Dudley. ! “But I happen to know that Mr. Fro- * bisher has to work all the afternoon in the laboratory. So you will be free. If you choose, to go to the game with me.” “Then I should be charmed.” And Dudley Barr moved away as Hilde- I garde and Tom Frobisher met and • pushed their way past the incoming crowd at Neal's. They walked leisurely back to the fraternity house. In the meantime Dudley Barr made haste, for he had an important note to write. “Hang it all." said Tom, after glancing at an official-looking note that was waiting for him at the frat Louse. | “That sorehead Barr has tied me up for the afternoon tomorrow. I had to make up some lab, but 1 thought he was going to let me off. Now comes this note to say that I’ve got to make up three hours in chem before he’ll get me through that course. And I passed his rotten old exam. I call that dirty work, I do." Hildegarde looked puzzled. “Is that the first notice you have had?” she asked. “Yes." said Tom, “and it's Just at : the time of the game. But. hung it all. I’ll cut it. What does credit in that course compare with going to the ball game with you? Nay, Hildegarde, you don’t think I’d pass up going to that game with you for all the credits in the world, do you?” “If you think as much of me as that,” blushed Hildegarde, “please do the laboratory work. Do it for my sake.” “Prettily said," said Tom. "Perhaps I had better see it through." So while Tom Frobisher tolled in the laboratory, alone save for a pinchfaced assistant whom Dudley Barr had left to watch, Dudley sat beside Hildegarde. and students and their girls who knew Tom Frobisher, and had wen him with the striking Hildegarde, looked on,and wondered. Just behind Dudley and Hildegarde as they were leaving the stadium walked one of the students to whom Tom had conversed the day before at Neal's. “Rough on Tom," commented the student, looking ahead. "But it Isn’t as if she was his very best girl.” said the overdressed flapper: and then, as they had passed safely beyond Hildegarde ami Dudley Barr, she added: “1 said that loud on purpose. I wanted that Hildegarde l»erson to hear. I think she's a perfect cat to go off with that professor when poor Tom is working In the lab." And Hildegarde had heard, and sn had Dudley Barr, but neither made any comment. But when Dudley Barr asked Hildegarde If she would let him see her off at the station the day after the dance Hildegarde assured him that she would be glad to do so. After effusive farewells Hildegarde boarded the train wondering where Dudley Barr could be. and then Dudley appeared. ' “It just happened that I was leaving on the same train. You won't object to letting me have my seat changed to this one beside you?” So Dudley traveled on with Hilde- , garde, and Hildegarde wondered at the time why Dudley did not leave. Within an hour of the time due to ar- | rive in her home town Dudley became ' very serious. “Hildegarde," he Said. “I arranged affairs so that I could come home vith you. I wanted to ask you to marry me. I wouldn’t poach—you know that. If you really eared for Tom Frobisher or if he was worthy of you—l would have kept my secret to myself. If you will let me I'll go home with you so that I can present myself to your father and mother, and do the thing ir. the good old-fashioned manner.” “Oh. I am so glad." breathed Hildegarde. "Father is • ery old-fashioned. I know he will approve of you." Land Vertebrates of Coal Era. The land vertebrates of the coal era were amphibious animals, half-rep-tiles, half-fish. Bones and skeletons of the Eryops, the largest and best known of these amphibians in America. are occasionally found in the upper coal measures of Pennsylvania, but the best specimens are from Texas. The Eryops is twice as old as the Brontosaurus. five times as old as the j Echippus—the diminutive ancestor of the horse —one hundred times as old as the mammoth or the mastodon or the earliest known remains of man. It has been said of the Eryops that i he is a collateral ancestor of all the higher animals —of reptiles, birds, mammals, and of man himself—all de- 1 veloped, through the ages which have I since elapsed, from animals of* the j same type and grade of organization, j Daily Thought.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC | IV hat We Should Give to God. young people and adult topic —VV hat the Bible Teaches About Giving. Ihe subject of today's lesson is broader than the text, especially the verses printed. The best way to teach this lesson is to give a survey of the entire book. Malachi was perhaps contemporary with Nehemiah; probably sustained the same relation to Nehemiah that Haggai ami Zechariah did to Zerubbabel. After the completion of tin* walls of Jerusalem Nehemiah seems to have bei-n called back to the Persian court, but returned to Jerusalem after a few years. Though outwardly the lives of the people w<-re correct, the prophet pointed out the sins of u corrupt priesthood, mixed marriages and a failure to pay tithes. I. Israel’s Base Ingratitude (1:1-5). God approached them with the tender affirmation "I have loved you." It whs the prophet's burden to declare this fact unto them (v. 1). So formal ami worldly were the peopb* that they failed to see God's hand UJ»on them. I he attitude of Israel to God Is shown In the skeptical insinuation "Wherein hast Tho U lo\ ed us? The prophet answers this by showing Gml's choi.sof Jacob and Ills passing by Esau ; His destruction of Edom and saving Israel. 11. God’s Severe Indictment (1 :62:17). 1 Against the Priest- (1 :62. »). They were guilty (1) of profanity (1:6). Their profanity was in despising the name of God. To fail to honor God Is to be profane. To use Ills name In any unreal way Is to be thu* guilty (2) Sacrilege (vv. 7. S). Their sarrileglous net was In offering polluted bread and blemished sacritL ea. To bring -m b offerings to an « arthlv ruler would be a gro-- Insult. Gifts to be acceptHble with God must Im* genuin.-; mu-t ...st something. We should give to <;<>d our be-t. There Is no Intellect too brilll uit to offer in the Lords s.-rxhe. The young should not eslwm their lives wasted who offer them on the altar of missionary sacrifice. (3) Gn*ed (1:10). They were not willing to open the doors of God's house without pay. • »ur service should be out of a heart of l \e for God, not for profit. This has a vital application to ministers and evangelists t.stay. To enter Christian service because of worldly gain Is of this type. (4) Weariness (1:1”13). Because of lack of love the routine of duty became irksome. (5) Not teaihlng the law to the jwople (2:1-10. Those set apart to teach Goii's law to the people have a great responsibility and God will most surely demand an accounting. 2. Against the People (2:10-17; 3:715). (1) For ungodly marriages (2:11, 12). God's purpose In the prohibition of mixed marriages was that He might raise up holy seed (v. 15). The marriage of the believer with the unbeliever today brings confusion into the fold of God ami turns aside His purjsise. (2) For divone (2:13-16). Divorce was the source of great sorrow —even the tears of the wronged women covering the altar (v. 13). The offerings of a man who hail thus treated his wife would be an abomination to God. The tears of wronged women today are going up to God aniT make even the prayers <>f some men an abomination to Him. (3) Public wrongs (3:5.6). (a) Sorcery—magic. Those w ho practice such things should be regarded as public offenders, (b) Adultery. This is a sin of wider extent than the parties concerned, (c) False sw earing, (d) Oppression of the hireling, widow and fatherless. (e) Turned aside tiie stranger from his rights. (4) Blasphemy (3:13-15). They openly spoke against God asserting that it was profitless to serve Him. 111. The Severe Judgments Which Shall Befall the Nation (3:1-5; 4:1-6). 1. By Whom Executed. This is done by the Lord. Imlgment has been committed to the Son of God (Acts 17:30, 31). When Christ returns the faithful and the unfaithful shall be differentiated ami rewarded accordh^; to their deeds. 2. Time of Second Coming of Christ. John the Baptist was the forerunner of His first coining. Elijah shall be the forerunner of His second coming. 3. Result. For the righteous it will be a day of healing and salvation. To the wicked it w ill be a day of burning and destruction. A book of remembrance is now being kept. A day of retribution is coming. God Will Give His Strength. Every man and woman, intent on walking in the path of rectitude, should become impressed witli this truth enunciated by Phillips Brooks: “Not until a man has laid hold upon the absolute assu’rance that the right is right and that rhe God of righteousness will give His strength to the feel.lest will in all the universe which tries to do right, has a man summoned to his aid the final perfect help.” The New Book. Only as the Bible is approached in the human way, with an honest purpose to know what it is, and how It has come to us, and what It has done, can we rightly appropriate to ourselves its teaching, and understand the nature of its inspiration. We may see it in a new light,-but it will be to us a new book, and it will speak with

In this relation she had been especially careful to commend to Tommy's consideration tiie son of a poor family in the neighborhood.

For some it Is Marie Antoinette and the Petit Trianon; and, curiously, by comparison with a rather I worthless queen, the great war pales, j For some it is Napoleon in his cocked ; hat ami white breeches, and his great tomb, one of the fingertips of Paris. ; For still more it Is the Bois ami the elegance and luxury and beautiful ■ women; and for the rest there is al-I ways the particular application—the ■ house where Balzac had his printing press, or perhaps only a great stone ! wall, symbol of the centuries over ' which a fruit tree blooms, symbol of I centuries continually renewed, writes 1 Muriel Harris in the North American Review.
