LESSONS FROM MEN THAT

Judges xvi, 20-21; 1 Sam. iii, 11-14:
XIV, 1928. 1t is as possible to learn
salutary lessons from the mistakes
and errors of men as from those things
in which they have succeeded.
Mems successes should inspire us to
success; their failures should warn us
against failure. For such a purnose
Christ recalled the failure of Lots wife.
pointed out to His disciples the weak
nesses Of the Pharisees and pictured
the folly Of the prodigal son in leaving
his fathers house for the far country
of sin.
Gains failure warns us against an
ger. Angry and Jealous, both without
cause. Cain slew his brother, and be-
came the first murderer. A disposi-
ton to loss of temper seems to be q lit
tie thing, and yet how serious it often
becomes. Anger in the heart is mlr-
der in the germ. A bad temper is net
to be condoned as simply a physical
disability, but recognized as a sin and
by persistent effort and the grace of
God overcome. Else it will make life
miserable, if it does not lend to a great
crime.

ind an enormous profit in adultera-
tons, n in cases where the compo-
slt1on of the specific is a trade secret
there is unbounded opportunity for
fraud.
AS in the adulteration of food, there
should be stricter regulations as to
spurious drugs, and the matter should
have the serious attention of boards of
health. 1t has been suggested that
every big city in his country should
stablish and maintain at public ex-
pense a municipal laboratory. To this
laboratory every citizen should be free
to take samples of drugs, food, aIco-
holic drinks or any other product sold
to him in the city. These things
should be analysed at the public eX-
pense, and the man guilty of selling
adulterated goods should be put in
prison without any option of a fine.
If the retailer should allege that he
had been imposed upon by the whole
saler, he should be compelled to prove
where his goods a been bought. and
the matter should be traced down until
the manufacturer of the substitute and
all his confederates should be ade-
quately punished.

steam. When a machine is going too
fast, the balls fly out by centrifugal force

when too slowly. they fall back, and,
opening the valve, let on the steam again.
543.-A tariff is a table of duties
charged on the imports of a country. The
word is said to be derived from the
port of Tarifa, where duties were
levied on African In Great
Britain the tariff imposes no export du-
ties, and applies only to import duties
levied for purposes of revenue. In the
United States, also, the term is applied
exclusively to import duties. which are
fixed by congress. and levied for purpoSe
of protection. There is a very general
feeling now that the present high tariff
