If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have* you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are extensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain—the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says, “Take for example Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent results, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale.” According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is due to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills almost every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects urinary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton. N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

It Was Like | Returned Bread | I By ELIZABETH R. GREENE $ (©• luLU, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) * Mother Nichols pushed her "specs” to her aching brow and leaned wearily back in the old chintz-covered rocker. The time had come—all day she had told herself that. For weeks she had fought, prayed, hoped against this hour, but she had been a fool. She [ I might hfhve known how it would all end. She had known, but the faith I in her heart had been so great— Over by the tireplace Nathan Nichols stirred restlessly in his chair. “Did Tommy git ev’rythin* done you need, mother?” he queried anxiously. i “Plenty o’ wood an’ water in?” “Land sakes, wait till you see—” She paused in dismay. Nathan’s blindness was still so new that she frequently blundered into forgetfulness of it. Besides, evading the truth was a new and bewildering experience. “Tommy’s a good lad,” muttered the i old man. His wife was silent. Not for worlds would she have told him that her hands, not the neighboring Tommy’s, had performed the round of nightly “chores.” But what was Nathan saying— “lt—lt alius port o’ rankled with me”—something in his voice made her turn to regard him Closely—“why we wa’n’t ’lowed to’ keep jes’ or*' o’ on rn—” The sudden tremble of his voice sent an answering throb to the worn- | an’s heart. Through sleepless nights i she, too. had wondered just that. Un- I consciously her gaze sought the dis- ■ tant cemetery, indistinct in the stormy ' twilight, where the white drifts were । covering deeper three little graves. Never had she questioned the wisdom i of the hand that had taken away her ; treasures, but there were times when. ' like Nathan, she pondered the “why.” “Even one would hev been such a comfort,” Nathan’s voice quaver--! on. “A sort o’ prop t’ lean on now . hen we ain’t got nothin’.” His wife turned at that, her brave spirit rising to meet his need. “Why, father, how you talk!” she chided gently. “Here we be. snug as a bug In a rug, in a home of our own” —thank heaven she could still say that —“'stead o’ knockin’ ’round from pll- ' lar t’. post, like th' Baileys hev to —” “Well, they’ve got their chiTren. I mother,” interposed Nathan, “an’ thet’s more’n we hev.” “Yes; an' we’ve got each other,” trilimphantly. \ “an’ thet’s more’n they hev! - Why, Nathan Nichols,” coming I to lay an affectionate hand upon his shoulder, “don’t you sit there an’ tell ।me we ain’t got nothin'. We’ve got a ! home an’’ each other.” tremulously. | “an' thet’s more’n ev’rythin’ else Ask th’ Baileys if 'taln’t!" Nathan was silent. He. himself, had ’ never approved of the Bailey children separating their father and mother, > even if they did “pervide well" for them. i “You can’t deceive me. M-ry,” he ; said presently. “S pose I dunno th’ i crops wuz a failure? We ain’t enutT t* keep th’ wolf from th’ door, now I’m laid up—” “Now. father, you know th' pertatoes Is holdin’ out fine,” interrupted the woman hastily. “An’ ’pears like there ain't no end t* th' beans!” Her। husband shook his gray head sadly. “We’ve nothin’ laid by. mother.'’ he answered bitterly. “Thet’s what wor- ; ries me. I alius mratod t' save somethin’. but th' money slipped through I my fingers. I’ve been a fool —a fool!” . “Hush, Nathan.” she soothed. “Meh- । be big hearts is wuth more’n th’ ’ Lord’s sight ’n big pocketbooks.” wisely. “You’ve done fer folks all : your life, an’ the good Lord ain’t one ; t* fergit it now.” “It’s you. Mary, I’m thinkin' of!” he cried brokenly. “I c’n stand goin’ ’thout things, an' —an' th’ blindness, but t’ know you ain’t pervlded for—oh. I’ve been n—” “Nathan.” softly, “did you ever think good deeds is like—like bread cast upon th’ waters?

"You signed fer SSO on th' paper they got up—” “Well, well, mother. Lem wuz in a tight place, an’ we wuz boys t'gether. “Then when Joe Andrews broke his leg,” abstractedly, “you lot his oldest boy cut wood by halves —that was ’fore we sold th’ big woodlot —” Nathan hitched uneasily in his chair. "Whatever ails you, mother?” he demanded testily. “You know we could spare th’ wood —’twas you who

FAITHFUL TO THE FRENCH KING

Chouan Bands of Brittany Peasants Went to Their Death in Defense of the Monarchy. < 1 Chmians was the name given to bands of Brittan v peasants who espoused the royal cause during the French revolution. and organized an- ; actionary nun ena-nt in 1792. Their first leader. Jenn f’otterean, was killed I 'in 1794. Tatter the Insurrection, under I (’adomlal and Charette, assumed vast ' proportions, and for a time imperiled j rhe safety of tile French republic. It ; ■ whs, however, stamped out by I.a ; .

I convinced me we could,” maliciously. His wife made no reply. Memory ;of the big woodlot had suddenly awakened thoughts of orphaned Dick. Dick! if it hadn’t been for him father might never have lost his eyesight. Oh. why had she let him sac- | ritiee the woodlot money on Dick’s ' worthless back ! Why hadn't she inI sisted that he see the specialist first j about his eyes, instead of allowing him to throw the precious money away on an ungrateful little brat, who had been only a “charity” child in the neighborhood since his orphanage. Yes, she had lost faith in Dick! Since the day he had left Hampstead, ten years ago, he had prayed for him, believed in him. But tonight his promises mocked her. Dick, thankless Dick, never meant to come back to them. She had berm a fool to think that he did. Now in the joy of his strong young manhood, he had forgotten them; forgotten poor father, whose dollars had saved him from being a helpless cripple, when the terrible accident had happened. She trembled with suppressed emotion. “What 1? it, mother?” asked Nathan, anxiously. His wife dropped a tearful kiss upon silvered hair "Nathan.” she said, unsteadily, "you are th' best man in all th’ world! Now I’m goin’ out t’ make you some flapjacks for supper.” Mechanically mother Nichols set about preparing the humble meal. Like a garment the brave courage and hope she had flaunted to father slipped from her, leaving her crushed ami broken. Tonight she had reached the end of her resources and —her faith. The time had come. Tomorrow, because they must have money at once, she must submit to the galling burden. Mortgage! It seined the only way out. She could raise money on the house to tide them along for a spell; after that —well, after that she would not think. Reluctantly she mnde her plans. Sho would go to Seth Brown tomorrow and borrow the money. She had rather go to Seth than anyone else because he wouldn’t ask her embarrassing questions and—she could pledge him to secrecy. Father, poor bl Im! old father, must never know the bitter truth. Her mind made up she put the matter resolutely from her. Tonight, this last night in their little debt-free house, she would be happy with Nathan. So the little supper was a cheerful one. Mother Nichols laughed and chatted as she cut up the golden brown “flap jacks’ for Nathan, who, under the spell of her voice and touch, was coming out of his dark mood. Outside the storm raged, hut the old couple paid no heed. Absorbed with “their yesterdays.” the outside world was forgotten; even .the evening train shrieked past unnoticed, as father told again how lie had “won out" against Abe Spaulding for mother's hand. “But I dunno, Mary,” he concluded bitterly, “but you’d a-done better t’ hev married Abe —” “Abo Spaulding!” scoffed mother. "I'd sooner hev your little finger, father. than —” A knock at the outside door startled them both. “Now. who c’n thet be. a night like this?” Full In the streaming lamplight he stood, smiling and straight and tall, just as she had often dreamed be would come back. Oh, was it true, was it true? “Dick!” and then sho was sobbing against his breast like a child. • ♦ * • « » • “An' t’ think, father, lie's come back t’ be our boy alius now. just as he promised he would when m'd made good !” exclaimed Moth.*r Nichols rapturously, when she and father wore alone at last that wonderful night. “An* he thinks ho c’n help your eyes, father.” she continued jovotislx. “Wa’n’t it funny thet he should study all about ’em when he was away?" “What's thet th' Good ]took says 'bout ‘give an’ it’ll he given you.’ mother?" ho queried huskily. “ T’<>ars like we’re gettln’ extra measure.” She nodded happily. “It's like--llke returned bread.” tremulously, “aiv't it.

IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SiindaySchool ’ Lesson' (By REV. P. B. FLTZWATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible hi the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) Copyright, 1923, Western Newspaper Union, i LESSON FOR MAY 13 DAVID, THE POET-KING LESSON TEXT—I Sam. 16:1-3. GOLDEN TEXT—Surely, goodness and | mercy shall follow me all the days of my i Ufe.—Ps. 23:6. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Ps. 51: Isa. »:7; Jer. 33:15-26; Luke 1:32; Acts 22:29-34. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Shepherd Boy Chosen King. JUNIOR TOPIC—God Calls a Boy to Be King. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —David, as a Friend. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Lessons From the Lite of David. I. Samuel Mourns for Saul (v. 1). 1. Why He Mourned. The death of Saul was no doubt a personal loss to Samuel, for Saul was a commanding and lovable personality. Then. too. the ruin of so promising a career would deeply affect a soul like Samuel. Finally the humiliation to God and God's people grieved his heart. 2. Excessive Mourning Rebuked. The fact that God had rejected Saul should haw lifted Samuel out of his grief. Excessive grief over that which God does Is a reflection upon Him and ; should be rebpked. In all God’s acts wo should submit although it may change our plans. When sorrow becomes a hindrance to the discharge of duty, it merits rebuke. 11. Samuel Sent to Anoint David (vv. 1-3). 1. Samuel's Fear (v. 2). Perliaps by this time Saul was luvomlng a desperate character. Samuel knew that if Saul should hear that be was I taking steps to anoint a successor to ' bis throne, his own life would bo in danger. Samuel was wise In submit- • ting this difficult situation to the Lord, i God's servants are to be brave. But own when going on errands for God we should not court danger. W« should exercise the greatest caution so that unnecessarj - dangers be j avoided. 2. The Lord's Direction (vv. 2. 3). , The Lord smoothed the way for Sam- j uel. He showed him how to perform i bls duty and escape the danger. Samuel was to take a heifer and announce that he was going to offer a sacrifice unto the Lord and to call Jesse to the sacrifice. The prophet whs not told nil that would happen. This is usually God's way with us. He gives us our work piece by piece and guides us step by step. Samuel's purpose was known only to him. It was to be kept a secret so that the news would n<>t reach Saul. This was a shrewd device but entirely legitimate. There ; Is not necessity for us to reveal all our purposes. We may conceal that > which others have not a right to . know, ••specially when such a disclosure would be prejudicial to the success of our mission. 111. Samuel’s Obedience (vv. 4-13). 1. The Trembling Ehlers of Bethlehem (vv. 4. 5). It seems that the whole nation was shot through with fear because of S nil's sin. To the elders' alarming inquiry Samuel responded with the assurance of peace inviting them to join him In worshiping the Lord. 2. Examination of Jesse's Sons (vv G-12). The Lord had revealed to Samnel that one of Jesse's sons was tc be the new king, but not the particular one. The selection of the right one was a most important matter as destinies hung upon it. (1) Eliah rejedted (vv. 6,7). Eliab was the eldest son and therefore be was the first presented as having first right to the place of honor. Further, he was a splendid specimen of a man. tall and majestic in appearance so that even Snmuel was captivated by him)as he had been by Saul. (10:24). Outward appearance was favorable but the realities seen by God were against him. God knows whom He can trust with great responsibilities. We frequently estimate men by their dress, culture, wealth and position. These are only surface manifestations and frequently lead us astray, but God looks into the heart. (2) David chosen (vv. 8-42). All but one of Jesse's sons had been looked upon but still the Lord’s choice had not appeared. Jesse's reply to Samuel’s question as to whether all his children had appeared seems to imply that David was not of much importance. He was considered good enough to watch the sheep but riot important enough to be called to the feast. Because David was faithful as a shepherd boy, he was in line for promotion when God’s given time arrived. 3. David Anointed (v. 13). When the shepherd lad appealed, the Lord directed Samuel to anoint him. When the oil was applied the Spirit of the Lord came upon him. David was a gifted and attractive lad but this was of no avail without the Spirit of God. Power must come from God. Only as we are anointed by the HolyGhost can we truly do the Lord’s will and work. Delegated by God. All along the line of history there have been advocates of the idea that the state is clothed with authority by Almighty God. Even among the heathen this was the prevailing idea. Since originally all authority belongs to God it would seem to follow as a necessary logical conclusion that whatever authority is possessed by civil government has been delegated by God. —Christian Statesman. Outward Bound. Oh, let us be ready for shipping against the time our Lord’s wind and tide call t’or us! Death is the last thief that will come without din or noise of feet and take our souls away and we shall take our leave of time and face eternity. . . Seek to be found of your Lord in peace, and gather In your fitting, and put your soul in order, for Christ will not give nail-breadth of time to our little sandglass. —Samuel Rutherford.
