used to be. And then we take seventeen

do not need any more papers and there

primarily because it had no riot story

A Formula TO Induce Sleep.

In the December American Magazine,
Ray Standard Baker, writing of Heal
ing the Sick in the Churches, says:
"Those to whom auto-suggestion is
an unfamiliar thought. sometimes find
difficulty in beginning to use it. They
need to know how others have found it
helpful in indu,ing sleep actually use
it The following formula, which has
helped several, is given for Illustrative
purposes. If used audibly it should be
said slowly, drowsily. soothingly, whisp-
eringly, and repeated till sleep comes:
81 am going to sleep. shall not lie
awake. / am going to sleep. The tired
eyes are closing. The blood is flowing
from my brain to my extremities. There
is no longer any pressure on the brain.
The muscles are relaxing. Sleep is
stealing over all my senses. They are
growing numb. am getting drowsy,
drowsy. am softly sinking into sleep,
dreamless sleep. am sinking deeper,
deeper, deeper. am almost asleep.
am asleep, asleep, asleep"

Few Here KNOW This

When an eminent authority an
nounced in the Scranton (Pa) Times
that he had found a new way TO treat
that dread American disease, Rheuma-
tism, with just common, everyday
drugs found in any drug store, the ply
sicians were slow indeed to attach
much importance to his claim. This
was only few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper i'll the country,
even the metropolitan dailies, is an
nouncing il and the splendid results
achieved 1t is so simple that any one
can prepare II at home at small cost.
1t is made up as iollows:-Get from
any good prescription pharmacy Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-hali ounce;
Compound kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking in bottle and
take in tcaspoonful doses after each
meal and at bedtime. These are all
simple ingredients, making an abso-
lutcly harmless home remedy at little
cost.
Rheumatism, as every one knows, is
symptom OF dcranged kidneys. Ii is
condition produced by the failure o,
the kidneys to properly filter or strain
from the blood the uric acid and other
matter, which, il not eradicated either
in the urine or through the skin pores,
remains in the blood, dccomposes and
forms about the points and muscles,
causing the untold suffering and defor-
nifty OF rheumatism.
This prescription is said to be a
splendid healing. cleansing and invig-
Grating tonic to the kidneys, and gives
almost immediate relief in all forms
OF bladder and urinary troubles and
backache. He also warns people in a
leading lew York paper against the
discriminate use OF many patent medi-
cines.

Master. But while Christ reproved
Judas he commended Mary. She had
done what she could, and it made her
immortal. Wherever the gospel has
been or shall be preached the story has

were many curious people there. They
came in to look on, according TO Jew
