West No Plsce for Consumption.
Physicians In all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre
vention of Tuberculosis to stop send
ing consumptives in the last stages of
tuberculosis and without suflletent
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search of health.
While It is Impossible to tell accu
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living lu the stateß of
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, It
l is probable that no les than ten per
Cent of the 6,000,000 people In this
territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some member of their family have had
it. Every ye#r, the health authorities
estimate, not lesß than 10,000 consump
tives, hopelessly diseased, come west
to die. For these cases, the climate
of this section of the country can do
nothing, and they are compelled to die
in strange surroundings and thousands
of miles from home and friends The
National Association points out fur
ther that from 50 to 60 per cent, of
these advanced cases are too poor to
provide the proper necessaries of life,
and they are either starved to death,
or compelled to accept the meager
charity which this part of the country
affords.
A FOOD CONVERT
Good Pood the True Road to Health.
The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve stomach trouble keeps up
the patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Indigestion—dyspepsia ls caused
by what Is put into the stomach in th©
way of Improper food, the kind that
so taxes the strength of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled.
When this state Is reached, to resort
to tonics Is like whipping a tired
horse with a big load. Every addi
tional efTort he makes under the lnsh
diminishes his power to move the
load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy. Indigestible food
and take on Grape-N'utß—light, easily
digested, full of strength for.nerves
and brain, In every grain of it. There's
no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.
"I am an enthusiastic user of Grape-
Nuts and consider it an Ideal food."
writes a Maine man:
"I had nervous dyspepsia and was
all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an advertisement I tried Grape-Nuts
food, and, after a few weeks' steady
nse of it, felt greatly improved.
"Am much stronger, not nervous
now, and can do more work without
feeling so tired, and am better every
way.
"I relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
•nd use four heaping teaspoonfula as
,the cereal part of a meal. lam sure
there are thousands of persons with
stomach trouble who would be bene
fited by using Grape-Nuts." Name giv

MUMKMIAL
SUMSQKKH
LESSON
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening
Department, The Moody BlbU Institute,
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR SEPT. 15.
JUDGMENT AND MERCY.
LESSON TEXT—Matt. 11:10-30.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Come unto me all 7«
I that labor and are heavy laden, and I
| will glvo you reat."—Matt. 11:28.
The paragraph mark separating
| verses 27 and 28 should rightfully be
removed for that portion is but a con
tinuation and a contrast with what
haa gone before. As we see from
Luke's account, Jesus has sent out
j the seventy who return boasting of
i what had been accomplished In Jesus'
name, only to receive his reproof that
j they are not so much to rejoice in
that as that their names were written
' "in heaven."
Jesus had made bis appeal to Judea
only to be rejected; he has (lone a
, marvelous work in Galilee only to be
! rejected there also, and thus it leads
!to his appeal to the Individual. Jesus
| knew that every problem of the
| church, financial or otherwise, every
| problem of the body politic, is In Its
| final analysis one of the condition of
the Individual heart.
We have before us a twofold divi
sion of this lesson:
I. Those Who Reject. One can
j scarce reconcile the speaker of this
j first section with him who spoke the
J last words, but is any denunciation
more awful than that of outraged
love? There Is no contradiction here
for his Invitation Is extended to the
very people whom he has denounced.
Chorazln and Bethsalda, laden with
sin, are urged to break off their yoke
of bondage, be reconciled with him.
become yoked with him whose burden
Is light.
Judgment Inevitable.
These cities had their day of oppor
tunity. In like manner we notice that
the measure of the Judgment Is the
measure of opportunity. The fate of
Tyre and Sodom wns awful, but more
terrible is to bo the fate, in the day
I of Judgment, of Chorazln and Beth
salda, because they sinned against the
greater light. The possible exaltation
of Capernaum as shown by the ques
tion asked In verse 23.
Again we need to note that Judg
ment is Inevitable. It Is the lot and
portion of us nil. Jesus created a
j wonderful opportunity for those cities
I and In a like manner has created one
! for us ar Individuals of the city, what
Swill be our accounting In the Judg
| ment? We as citizens are being lllu
j mlnated by a wonderful revelation of
I truth and righteousness. Shall New
j York, Chicago and other large cen
| ters became as ancient Capernaum or
Babylon, Nineveh and Tyre?
| II Those Who Come to Jesus,
j Coming now to the second section of
our lesson, one can feel the lender
j pathos of the voice of Jesus as he
J turns from the whole to the Individ
j uals who comprise the whole and
j cries—"Hither to me." Not alone
I those who nre burdened by ceremon
| lalism or guilt but a more wonderful
scope than that, "All who labor." Ills
| Invitation Is. however, limited, for It
Is to the laboring, thus excluding the
i wilfully Idle, whether they be Idle ma
terially or spiritually.
Offers a Life.
Jesus knew the rest of harmonious
i relation to the Father, the rest of
j service, and so the cllmnx of his In
vitation Is the test of experience, v.
| 30, "For my yoke Is easy and my bur
den Is light." Notice that our labor
j Is to be fruitful, "heavy laden," but
I the Joy of service far outweighs any
j thought of Its becoming a duty and
i therefore onerous. A yoke implies n
, being attached to a load and with au
j other. How may we know If his
j words be true? There Is but one con
dition, "Come." Jesus meant Just
what and all that word Implies. The
babe sitting upon the knee of its nurse
knows what Its mother means when
j she calls "Come," and so Jesus ex
] tends his arms to sorrowful, laden
humanity as well as to ceremonially
laden Israel and says "Come." Not
to a church or to some religious lead
er, but to Jesus himself* The Invlta
j tlon Is very personal both as to th
i one who shall come, and the one t
whom we nre to come,
i There 1b In this lesson a luminous
suggestion of Jesus' method of deal-
J lng with the Ills of our great cities,
j He does not propose a lot of nega
! tlons, but offers a life, an energizing
i power that shall enable a company of
, his belleverß to change these condl
| tlons of 111. Some one has called at
; tention to Jesus' attitude towards the
j Roman empire. Not one word of
specific rebuke nor denunciation, yet
j in approximately three hundred years
j there was a Christian emperor upon
that throne.
These words of Jesus thrill with
music. They have been a solace
throughout the ages. *They have
brought into his kingdom countless
thousands.
Jesus here assumes, as he always
did, that the woes of the Impenitent
and the joys at the saved are condi
tioned upon our attitude towards him.
Let us be careful not to slip the yoke
and not to be unequally yoked with
unbelievers. We are called to a part
nership, a community of interest and
to an agreement with him whose
"yoke is easy and whose burden is
light"
