"About twelve years ago my
health failed I could not eat any
rtljiing without suffering. I had
heartburn, sour stomach, palpita
tion of the heart, smothering spells,
pains in my back and sidles and a
cough almost like consumption.
Nothing helped me. I grew worse
and was able to sit up only part
of the time. I had lost all hope
i of ever being any better when
someone gave me a Pe-ru-na
book. The book described my
case so truly that I began to
rj take Pe-ru-na. After two and
a half bottles I: could eat with
out suffering and improved from
then on. I took eight bottles and
felt like a new person. That was
fourteen years ago. So many dis
eases are due to catarrh that I
think Pe-ru-na the greatest family
medicine in the world."
For more than half a century
Pe-ru-na has been doing just such
work as this.
Send 4 cents postago to ths

JOHNSON ACT WILL
BE UP FOR ACTION
Those provisions of the Johnsbn act,
World war legislation draWn up and
sponsored by the American Legion,
and caught In the legislative Jam at
the close of the last congress, will be
pressed for passage at the next session
by the national rehabilitation commit
tee of the Legion, according to Wat
son B. Miller, chairman. *
Among the provisions to be pressed
for passage are: To permit the pay
ment of disability compensation retro
actively to April of 1917; to provide
a permanent rate of compensation for
arrested cases of tuberculosis; to pro
vide for the reinstatement of insur
ance by disabled vewrans who are un
able to pay the back premiums and In
terest; to provide family allowances
for all beneficiaries who are totally
disabled; to remove all dates for the
conclusion of vocational training; to
remove all time limits for the filing of
disability claims; to provide for the
setting up of a permanent medical
corps in the veterans' bureau service.
Chairman Miller declared that It
will be necessary to secure an appro
priation from congress at the Decem
ber session amounting to approximate
ly $13,850,000 so that the veterans'
bureau can carry out Its program for
the construction of new veterans' hos
pitals. During the last two sessions
authorization was granted to the direc
tor of the bureau to expend $16,850,000
for this purpose, but due to legislative
complications arising at the end of
each session only $3,850,000 actual
cash was appropriated.
Wilton Memortial Backed
by Georgia Department
Friends of Woodrow Wilson in all
parts of the United States will con
tribute to a fund to establish a col
lege a3 a national memorial to him
in Georgia, the state where he grew
to manhood, in the opinion of Col.
Edward M. House, Intimate friend and
personal adviser of President Wilson.
The memorial coilege to Wilson was
proposed by the department of Geor
gia, American Legion.
In a recent Interview with a repre
sentative of the temporary board of
trustees for the proposed college,
Colonel House declared that he would
do all in his power to assist in the
establishment of such a memorial.
Pleasant A. Stovall, former minister
of Switzerland during the Wilson ad
ministration, who Is leading the
movement to found the Wilson coilege,
said:( "The value of Colonel House's
support In this undertaking cannot be
overemphasized. He is known the
world over as one of President Wil
son's closes*, friends." ?
Severe Penalties for
Embezzlement of Funds
Guardians embezzling funds paid by
the government to their wards as
World war beneficiaries will be sub
ject, to prosecution by the federal gov
ernment as a result of legislation
parsed at the recent session of con
gress, American Legion officials an
nounced at Washington recently. Pun
ishment is fixed at a fine of $2,000 or
Imprisonment at hard labor for five
years or both. The Legion supported
the legislation.
Letters were sent recently by the
Veterans' bureau to clerks of Probata
courts Inquiring into guardianships of
Incompetent veterans and ^children of
veterans, many of thera .orphans. As
ft result, guardians in si^ months re
turned to the government $100,000,
mostly in uncashed government checks.
A single letter contained' an entire
series of uncashed $100 checks going
back to 1919.
There are, according to Veterans'
bureau records, 9,519 guardians of
minors and 15,000 guardians of adults
in permanent total cases. The number
of minors under guardianship is esti
mated at 30,000.
Offered to Pay His Way
to Any Foreign Country
The successor to "The Man Without
a Country" was found at Omaha, Neb.,
recently?almost
F. M. Merriam, commander of Se
ward post , of the American Legion,
was commissioned to go to Omaha and
look for a youth who, in the columns
of an Omaha newspaper, begged to
be told one good reason why he should
continue to grace the United States
of America with his presence, co-op
eration and endorsement. The dis
contented youth said: "The time Is
coming when millions of Americans
will enrich other nations with their
presence and leave the United States,
such as it is, to an anti-liquor organi
zation, as it deserves to be."
The Seward post replied promptly
that It would pay the disappointed
young man's way to some foreign land
if he would promise never to return.
The young man In another letter ac
cepted the offer?provided that he
might return to this country as often
ag he wished "on visits."

THE MONKEY'S REGRET
r\ "
"The regret of my whole monkey
life." said Larry, the monkey In the
zoo, "Is that I
cannot talk to the
children In their
language.
"Yes, and I'd
like to talk to the
grown-nps, too.
^Indeed I would."
"I don't regret
that," said Mike,
another monkey
in the cage with
Larry. "I'm too
shy to want to
talk much."
"I'm not," said
Snookums, "but I
don't know that I
. .. especially want to
"I'm Too Shy.f, ta,k (0 the dul.
dren and to the grownups.
I can make the keeper understand
me, and that's enough.
"I can make faces at the children,
and they will laugh. I enjoy that
"And I play with them, and they
)lay with the keeper. I knock off his
lat and then the people standing
around the cage think it's a great joke.
The keeper knows what I like to eat
and what I like to do.
He knows when I am well and
when I am sick, and so why should I
want to talk to children and grown
up??"
The keeper is a grown-up," said
Mike.
"True," said Snookums, "but he is
a grown-up who understands. That's
all I care about."
"Of course as I said before, I'm too
shy to want to talk to people," said
Mike.
"I don't even like to play with them,
'm Vfcry nervous. But, Larry, you are
the friend of every one who comes
to the monkey house.
"Tell us why you would like to be
able to talk."
Because," asld Larry, "people don't
understand us and then they tell chil
dren everything quite incorrectly.
hey say to the children and the
children then say to each other:
See the monkeys. They are hor
rid and they are very dirty.'
They are scratching themselves,
orrid, unattractive monkeys.'
Then they will watch us perform
and laugh at us because they think
we're funny.
"We may be funny but we are not
dirty. You both know as well as I
do that we aren't scratching ourselves
because we're horrid and dirty, but
because we are so nervous about be
coming dirty that we pick off every
bit of dust and dirt and sawdust that
flies upon us. '
"We won't let a scrap of it stay on.
And, too, we often eat the salt that is
on our bodies. That is good for us,
but we're not dirty.
"We're so nervous about being clean
and we're so fussy about it that we've
gained the reputation for scratching
and untidiness." )
"I don't wonder now that you wish
to have the power to talk the people's
language," said
Snookums.
"I didn't know
people said such
things."
"But," said Lar
ry, "every time
5ur good keeper
gets a chance be
tells' people it's
n o t true and
shoVvs our clean,
white skin . to
prove this point.
"Many and many
the time has he
done this.
"Oh, he teaches
the people so
much they don't The Frien<J of
know, as he has ? Everyone,
bothered ,to find
out, and people have a habit of saying
something is so when they have noth
ing In the world to give them reason
for saying what they do."
"Poor Larry. "No wonder you feel
as you do," said Mike.
"No wonder," said Snookums. "How
glad I am the keeper does all he can."
"So am I glad," said Mike.
"And you know I am," sighed Larry.

LESSON TEXT?Acta 17:l?-34.

And move, and have our being."?Acts
17PRIMARY TOPIC?Paul Tells the
people About God. .
JUNIOR TOPIC?Paul Preaches on
"^INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC?God the Father of All Mankl*"*
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP
IC True and False Ideas of God.
I. The Idolatry of the Athenian#
(v. 10).
Athens waB the Intellectual metropo
lis of the world at that time, the home
of the world's greatest eloquence and
philosophy. Paul's spirit was stirred
within him when he saw the city
wholly given to Idolatry.
II. Paul Disputing With the Athe
nians (vv. 17-21).
1. In the Synagogue (v. 17a).
1 True to his usual custom, he went
Into the Jewish synagogue and en
tered Into earnest argument with the
Jews and devout persons.
2. In the Market Place (vv. 17b-21).
From the Jews he turned to such
as Were foiind In the market -place.
Here he came into touch with the Epi
curean and Stoic philosophers. The
former were atheistic materialists.
They denied the doctrine of creation,
and gave themselves up to sensual In
dulgences since they rejected the Idea
of a future Judgment. The latter were
pantheists. When they . heard the
preaching of Paul they desired to
know what new doctrine he preached,
so they Invited him to the Areopagus
where he might speak to them of his
new doctrine. They Inquired as to
what this "babbler" might say. Since
the Athenians spent their whole time
either in telling or hearing some new
thing, they were willing to listen to
Paul. The word, "babbler" means lit
erally, "seed picker." They conceived
Paul to be a globe-trotter who had
gathered up seeds of truth here and
there over the world, and that he
was somewhat like themselves, Inter
ested In talking about that which he
knew.
III. Paul's Address on Mars' Hill
(vv. 22-31). >
j 1. The Introduction (vv. 22-23).
He did not accuse them of super
stition, but as in the Revised Version,
he Introduces his discourse in a cour
teous and conciliatory manner, stating
that he perceived ehat they were very
religious. This he explains by saying
that as he was viewing their city
he beheld an altar with an inscription
to the unknown god. This was his
pointj of contact. He proceeded at
once to connect it with the idea of
the living God, implying that this al
tar had been erected to Him.
2. The Body of His Discourse (vv.
24-31).
v (1) A Declaration Concerning God
(v. 24-25). ' '
a. He created the material universe
(v. 24). This was a direct blow at
the philosophy of both the Epicureans
and the Stoics.
b. His Spirituality and Immensity
(vv. 24-25).
He is not worshiped with men's
hands as though He needs anything,
neither is He confined by any sort
of a religious temple. Being essen
tially spiritual. He demands heart ser
vice, and being transcendent, above
all, He is not confined to earthly tem
ples.
c. His Active Providence (v. 25).
He gives existence, bestows needed
gifts, and as sovereign, directs all
things.
(2) A Declaration Concerning Man
(vv. 26-31). ,
a. This was a blow at the foolish
Athenian pride which supposed that
they were superior to all other people.
This proposition he proved from their
own literature (v. 28).
b. Nations have their pitce by the
soverlgn purpose of God (v. 26).
c. Men Should Seek God (v. 27).
His goodness and grace in supply
ing all our needs, and ordering that
even the affairs of the nations should
move men to see and seek God_.
d. The Pressing Obligation to Re
pent (w. 30-31).
This was his supreme message.
LV. Results of Paul's Preaching
(vv. 32-34).
1. Some Mocked (v. 32).
This is even the case today. Men
and women will mock the preacher
who preaches a judgment to come.
2. Some Procrastinated (V. 32).
Many do not mock, but they hesitate
to accept and act upon the urgency
of the message.
3. Some Believed (v. 34).
Wherever the gospel Is preached
there ure some who believe and are
saved.
As Men Succeed
Men succeed In proportion to the flx
ety of their views and the Invincibility
of their purpose. If you can find out
a man's quitting point, the place where
he gives up, turns back, you can meas
ure him pretty easy.?Marden.
Children's Prayers
Jesus loves to hear the earnest
prayer of a little boy or girl morn
than He does a long hypocritical
prayer of a big preacher.?Gospel
