Synopsis: Jason Jarvits Is a home loving man. He loves to sit about In his carpet slippers reading the papers, and lie loves his wife, Croona, dearly, but hates to hear her complain of his shiftless habits, says the Detroit Free Press. Now, as she keeps complaining of them from morning till night, Jar vits finds It extremely difficult to keep his mind on his pipe and his paper. Tie thinks of spending his time at a club or at movies, but is inherently such n home-lovinj? man that the very thought is repugnant to him. So he stands his wife's accusing flow of words until one day something he sees In the paper (while he is smoking ,his pipe) gives him a brilliant idea. , JConclusion; "It's true that we are brsfily in need of men to help fire these new SO-cylinder cannons. said Colo nel Kimmel, in charge of the govern ment proving grounds at Sklppington. "Hut It is my duty to inform you that the shock of the firing is extremely bad for the' ears. In fact, IS men in the past week have been deafened and honorably discharged with a pension." "I. want the job," said Jason Jarvits rlrmly. In three days the drums of both his ears were shattered. - Returning home joyously he sub scribed for a dozen extra papers, bought four more pipes and settled down to smoke and rend contentedly on his pension, entirely unaware as to whether his wife was talking or not.

LESSON TEXT-Fsalms 103. GOLDEN TKXT-Bloss the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits. Ps. 103:2. This Tsalm Is man's response to the goodness and mercy of God. It ex presses the joy and gratitude of a for given sinner as he worships before God. There Is too much in this Psalm for one to attempt to set It forth, so we must be content to display some of Its most prominent notes. I. Man's Entire Being Should Sing God's Praise, v. 1. The true worship per praises God with every faculty of his being; his Intellect, emotion, de sires, affections all unite In pralsirf Jehovah, The entire being respom I In a song of harmonious praise. Some praise God with their voices but not j with their hearts: some with their In- ! tellect but not with their affections; some with their emotions but not with their wills. That praise which" involves the entire being alone Is pleasing to God. II. The Benefits Granted, vv. 2-6. The Psalmist exhorts man not to forget all God's benefits. This seems to be need ed now as well as then, for most of us are better at remembering our troubles and adversities, our losses and our sor rows, than we are at remembering our j mercies and blessings. It would be a good thing for some of us to keep a record of the good things of life and see that, after all, our blessings out- j weigh our burdens. We have more days of sunshine than of clouds, more joys than we have of sorrows, more hours when we are free from pain than we suffer with pain. If God were i as forgetful of us as' we are of Him, life would be usrd Indeed. (1) Forgiveness of sins, v. 3. In forgiveness we are freed from the curse of sin and Its blight and burdens are removed. We are not only for given,' but we are healed of sin's dis ease 1 not only freed from the burdens of sin but of Its effects, so that we do not go after the tilings of this world. To be saved for heaven means that we are saved from, the world. (2) Redemption, v. 4. We have been saved by Christ giving Himself as a ransom for our souls. (3) Satisfaction, v. 5. When God redeems, He so thoroughly renews the man that the good things which he geis from God satisfy him. His bless ings are so real that he finds satisfac tion In God. Men and women of the world are reaching out after fleeting things. They are ever grasping after something, but are never satisfied. Not so with the redeemed soul; he finds absolute satisfaction in the things which God gives him. Worldings may be satiated, but God's redeemed alone are satisfied. (4) Executing judgment In behalf of the oppressed, v. 6. .He Is always on the side of the oppressed. God under takes for his own, and sooner or later He will mete out Justice to all. There is a reckoning day for the world com ing. Those who have done evil shali suffer loss ; those who have done good shall be rewarded. III. Attributes of God for Which He Should Be Praised, vv. 7-18. These attributes have been displayed in God's dealings with his chosen people. (1) Merciful and gracious, v. 8. He Is slow to anger and plenteous In mer cy. An example of his mercy is seen in the father of the prodigal son run ning to meet his son and kissing him. A very little thought will make very evident how God withholds his anger and waits patiently for an opportunity to extend his mercy. (2) He will not always "chide," w. 8-12. When God forgives he forgives forever. Men say they forgive, but how often they "chide" and "keep anger." God has not dealt with us ac cording to our sins, for, as the heav ens are high above the earth, so great Is his mercy toward them that they fear him. So really has God forgiven us that our transgressions are as far removed from us as the East Is from the West, an Incalculable distance. (3) He Is compassionate and tender, w. 13-14. This reveals God's fatherly heart. He fully knows our weakness. He does not deal with us as though we were strong. He knows how weak and fallible we are through the fall. It Is consoling to know that God considers our "frame"; He knows that we are "dust" (4) His mercy Is everlasting, eternal, vv. 15-17. Man Is at best transitory, but God Is eternal. The one who rests hl3 hopes In God Is eternally safe. This should encourage us to lean not upon man but upon God. (5) God Is gracious to those who are in covenant relationship, v. 18. If we would enjoy these blessings revealed in God's attributes we must be God's . hildrcn. His mercies are restrictive, enly bestowed upon his own children. IV. A Call to All the Universe to j Praise the Lord, vv. 19-22. Since God Is such a wonderful Belnc. He should I have universal praise. His kingdom Is over all; his Lordship should have recognition. The true conquerors sre often those whom the world calls the vanquished Has Muller. OLD PRESCRIPTION FOR WEAK KIDNEYS Have you ever stopped to reason why i it is that to many products that arc ex- ' tensively advertisod, all at once drop out of Bight and are ' soon forgotten? The reason is plain the article did not fulfil the promihCB of the manufacturer. This applies more jiarticularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost wlla itself, as like an endless ehain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to thoe who are in new! 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 eveiy case it shows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy that I know of has so large a sale." According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmers' Swamp-Root is due to the fact that, so many people claim, it fulfils al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects ur inary 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.

Hypochondria was the topic that was being discussed at a social affair, says the Philadelphia Press, when Sen ator William A. Smith of Michigan re called the following story : A woman who was perfectly well, but imagined ghe had at least a dozen different diseases, called one day to consult an eminent specialist. "I think I understand your case thor oughly, madam," said the doctor as the patient began to tell the story of her life. "Just sit quite still a moment and let me look at you." The patient complied and after studying her intently for a little while the physician glanced at his watch. "There is nothing the matter with you, madam," finally said the doctor. "You haven't the slightest indication of fever, arid your heart beat is per fectly normal." "Why, hdw do you know, doctor?" exclaimed . the patient in surprise. "You didn't take my pulse." . "It wasn't necessary, madam," smiled the specialist. "I counted the vibrations of the ostrich feather on your hat." SOFT, CLEAR SKINS Made So by Daily Use of Cuticura Soap' and Ointment Trial Free.

Although not overparticular about her work, Mrs. Brownstone's new maid, fresh from the- Evergreen Isle, was somewhat of a stickler for preci sion In language. "Is it after eight yet?" asked Mrs. B of her one morning as she came in from the kitchen on some errand. "Yis, mum," replied Bridget care fully weighing her words. "It is af ter it all right, but it hasn't got there jit ! It has five minutes jit to travel !"

For over 70 years, it has been successfully employed for these troubles, and its consumption is increasing year by year proving the public recognition of its true and genuine value. Being purely vegetable, it has no such bad secondary ef fects, as the mineral drugs, like calomel (mercury), etc., but can be depended on to relieve, by its first action on the system. Black-Draught is a good, safe, reliable, family medicine, for young and old. A package should be in every household. Mi. Marion Holcomb, of Nancy, Ky., writes: "For quite a. long while I suffered with stomach tiouble. I would have pains tnd a heavy feeling after my meals, a most disa L TROOPS AT SO MUCH A MAN Soldiers Furnished British Government by British States at Beginning of Revolutionary Var. At the beginning of the Revolution ary war the" British government made treaties with several of the German states by which they were to furnish troops at so much a man to assist in subjugating the Americans. Applica tions for assistance made to Kussia and Holland were rejected, but several of the German states responded favor ably. There was no united Germany or Imperial government, no kaiser with autocratic power, but each Independ ent state had a separate government. An English historian says : "Finding it difficult or Impossible 'to obtain the necessary recruits at home, and that the existing English and Irish regiments embarked with such reluc tance that It was necessary to keep a guard upon the transports to keep them from deserting by wholesale, the ministry applied to Russia, the states general (Holland), and finally to sev eral of the German states for merce naries. The infamy of filling up the British armament was reserved for the princes of three or four petty German slates." Contracts were made with the rulers of seven German states under which an aggregate of thirty thousand troops were furnished at so much a head, cash down, and an annual sum to the rulers of the different states fur nishing them. "The subsidies," says the English historian, "were to be continued for one full year at least after the war ended and the troops had relumed to their homes." The troops thus hired out by German rulers to light against Americans were not raised easily The American historian Bancroft says: "The whole number of men fur nished in the war by Brunswick was equal to one-twenty-seventh part of Its total population; by the landgrave of Hesse, to one out of every twenty of his subjects, or one in four of the able bodied men, a proportionate conscrip tion In 177G would have shipped to America from England and Wales alone an army of more than 400.000 men. Soldiers were Impressed from the plow, the workshop, the highway; no man was safe from the Inferior agents of the princes, who kidnaped without scruple." one The Experience of These There is a Remedy for Your Illness. Aberdeen, Idaho. "Last year I suffered from a weakness with pains in my side and back. A friend asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound and I did so. After taking one bottle I felt very much better. I have now taken three bottles and feel like a different woman. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is the best medicine I have ever taken and I can recom mend it to all suffering women."- Mrs. Percy Prestidge, Aberdeen, Idaho. Kingfisher, Okla. "For two years I suffered with a severe female trouble, was nervous, and had backache and a pain in my side most of the time. I had dizzy spells and was often ao faint I could not walk across the floor. The doctor aid I would have to have an operation. A friend asked me to try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
