WASHINGTON.-There are too

department, is conducting expert

University of Maine. at Orono, in that
state, under the supervision of Prof.
G.. d. Woods, and at the University
of Tennessee, at Knoxville, by Prof.

These experiments were in full
swing before Secretary Taft entered

Proper Treatment of Burns.

Cloths dipped in hot water readily
act as a poultice and have few equals
in reducing pain. Cloths which have
been dipped in hot water and then are
wrapped around a hot water bottle will
have all the efficacy of those freshly
dipped and Iung out, and will retain
their heat and moisture for hours.
This is a good thing to bear In mind
when it is difficult to change cloths
every few minutes, as when n Is

or wherever attendants are hard to

One of the most healing Of applica-
lions in the case of bad burns is made
from raw potato without adding any

after putting it thickly on a cloth, lay

Burns treated in this way rarely leave

AS usually made, the flaxseed poul'

way of making them is to scald the

THE TONIC TREATMENT.
This Woman Took Or. Williams Pink
Pills, Gained Thirty Pounds and q.
Has Been Well Ever Since.

How many wonderland men too
are suffering from a general decline in
health which the ordinary remedies
seem unable to checkl How many hus-
bands see their wives wasting away,
steadily losing health and beauty, and
are pOwerless to helpi Consumption
and other germ diseases find in these
debilitated systems easy prey, for the
lowered vitality is unequal to the task of
fighting off the infection Of these diseases
to which most of us are almost daily ex-
posed.
The symptoms indicating the decline
which may have results so fatal could
scarcely be better described than In the
statement of Mrs. William Manley, Of
90 Court street, Utica, N. Y. Her case
is a typical one. She says:
"For six months after the birth of my
baby, l suffered from sick, dizzy head
aches, which seemed like a rush of
blood to my forehead, just back of my
eyes. Some days they twitched SO I
could hardly see and black spots foated

only 90 pounds.
"One day when at the drug store to
get headache powders 1 decided to try
DR.. Williams Pink Pills instead. I
soon noticed that my headache was dis
appearing and my nerves gradually
grew stronger. The pills gave me a
hearty appetite and I now weigh over
100 pounds. / believe the pills to be the
best tonic and builder a woman can take,
as they certainly helped me when my
condition was critical and I have never
been seriously i'll since"
The great value of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills lies in the fact that they actually
make new blood and this carries health
and strength to every portion of the
body. The stomach is toned up, the
nerves are strengthened, every organ is
stimulated to do its work.
If you are i'll and the treatment you
are taking does not cure you, write for

have done in similar cases.

THE STORY.

IRON his earliest recollection Sam
/ son had been imbued with the am
bitiOn to become a great general like
Jephthah, or Gideon, or Barak. With
his mothers milk as a babe he had
drunk in an intense spirit of patriot
ism, and as he had grown into man.
hood and had listened to the stories
of the mighty men of valor whom God
had raised up to deliver Israel from
her enemies the purpose had grown
within him to some day march at
the head of a cOnquering army as
these other men had done.
His mother told him owe and again
the story of the angels visit, of his
birth, and of the promise that he
should be a deliverer unto Israel from
the power Of the Philistines. She
had told Of the Nazarite vow and
had by her faithful ministry inspired
him with the same spirit of loyalty
and devotion which had moved her
own heart and kept her pure and IN
spotted from moral and spiritual de-
cline which was manifest among her
people on every hand. And in all
this early training and discipline, the
father, Manoah, had nobly seconded
the Cody woman.
In such an atmosphere 1t was that
Samson had been reared, and as he
developed into young manhood, and
felt the vigor of his strong physique,
and the impelling motive of his deep
spiritual life, the irresistible impulse
moved him to go out among his PEG
pie and seek to arouse their patriot.
ism and begin the organization of an
armed force that should drive the
Philistines from among them and
break the yoke of their oppression.
But spiritual conditions were at low
ebb, and people did not seem to feel
the need of or care for anything diff
ferent. And while they felt the bur-
den of the rhilistine rule, there were
compensating features, such as pro-
lection from other enemies, and GER
tain commercial and social advan-
tages, which appealed to them, and
which renoered the efforts of Samson
practically without effect.
What If he did perform deeds of
prowess before them revealing his
powerful physique? What if he did
recount the history of the past in
which esd had given deliverance to

"Teach us what we shall do
unto the child that shall be
born" Samson had the ad-
vantage of G~od-fearing parents,
and his training began before he
was born. These are two con-
iitions which exert a lifelong
influence upon the character and
destiny of a life. 1t is the her.
itage to which every child has
! right to lay claim, but oh! how
seldom does it come into it's
right.
The coming of the child into
the home is too often the unwel-
come accident to be followed by
h%aphazard rearing, with no posi-
tive religious training.
God has a claim on every life,
and that claim should be recog-
nized by the parents of the IN
born child, it should inspire
them to the faithful discharge
of the parental obligations, and
it should guide them in planning
the future of the child.
In the case of Samson his
career was definitely indicated
by Divine revelation before his
birth, a privilege not vouchsafed
to many, especially in this day;
but Notwithstanding this, there
should be the definite %consecra-
ton to the Lord and the seeking
to follow the Divine will in the
training of the child so that
eventually he shall come to fill
the place best suited to his abil-
tiles and the needs of the world
in which he lives.
"The child grew and the
Lord blessed him."-Does this
sound like Divine favoritism?
Has God those he picks as par
ticuIar recipients of his bless
ing without consideration of
the individual merit? Perhaps
it would seem so from the ST.
p%erficial and imperfect knowl-
edge of man, but recognition of
the perfect love and perfect JUS
tice of God compels the convic-
ton that God always bIesses
where the conditions Of life and
heart make it possible.
Some children are allowed to
grow up like weeds of the mead
ow, and it is only by a miracle
of grace through the saving and
cleansing power of Jesus Christ
that sometimes such lives are at
last brought into harmony with
Gods will and in the way Of
divine blessing.
The development of the child
should be Godward, so that it
may receive Gods blessing. The
upward walk always finds the
descending blessing. What Sam
son stood for in the Var of
righteousness and truth in Is
rael was the result of the early
influence of that Cody home in
which he was reared.
