B0RAx! NATURES DlSINFECTANT,
CLEANSER AND PURIFIER

Everybody realizes the necessity Of
some method Of publication of sinks,
drains and utensils in which may Turk
the germ of dreaded disease.
Health is a question of cleanliness
and prevention.
Most people are familiar with the
use Of dlsfnfectantS in their ordinary
sense-all OF which are unpleasantly
associated with disagreeable odors, on
which are depended to kill the conta-
gion (which disinfectants must of
necessity be OF more or less danger
GUS character) and must be used for
this purpose and for no other, and in
consequence kept from children and
careless handling.
There is, however, within the reach
OF all our readers simple, safe and
economical article that will not only
answer for every disinfecting purpose
but can also be used for multitude
Of domestic cleansing and purifying
purpoSes-Borax.
Borax is pure, white harmless pow
der coming direct from Natures lab
oratory; in fact Borax has often been
called Natures Cleanser and Disin-
fectant."
Two tablespoonfuls of Borax in
pailful of hot water poured down the
grease-choked pipes of sink, or
flushed through a disease-laden drain,
cleanses and purifles it, leaving 1t
clean and sweet.
Bed clothing and clothes used In q
sick room can be made hygienically
clean and snowy-white, If washed in
hot solution of Borax water.
Kitchen and eating utensils, used
during illness will be kept from all
possibility of contagion if Borax is
used when washing them. Pure as
snow and harmless as salt, and be-
cause it can be used for almost every
domestic and medical purpose, 9orax
must be considered the one great

Proof Positive.

There is usually some convincing ar
gument to a question of doubt, if one
Is only bright enough to think of it at
the time of controversy. The farmer
was able to produce the indisputable
without delay Of circumlocution. A
number of. people were gathered
round the bulletin board of the Read
ing Eagle, on which was announced
Death of Frank Miller"
Two farmers from the extreme
backwoods were gazing at the various
items of news, when one Of them
spied the lugubrious statement, and
pointing it out to his rustic conrade,
remarked innocently:
1T says on that board: Death Of
Frank Miller Is that you?"

SERMON ETTE.

Love will travel far and stoop
low to save the object of that
affection.
How may we know the
strength of the Divine love save
as some faint conception of it is
borne in upon the heart
through the revelation of the
human relationship?
All through those long years
the love Of Hosea followed the
hayward wife while she sank
lower and lower, until at last
she had touched the very depths
Of human degradation. Desert
ed by her lovers and sold as a
slave into the lowest forms of
iniquity, still the husband love
follows, and is strong enough to
bring him to her side and to re-
deem her by paying the price of
her ensIaVement.
How like this is the Divine
love. "WhiIe we were yet in our
sins, Christ died for the uneod-
ly." From the heaven above
God was able to reach down by
his infinite love and find way
to save lost and ruined man.
And If God has so manifested
his love towards us in that he
has given his only begotten Son
that we might be delivered from
the slavery into which sin has
plunged US, how ought we to
follow his example and hold on
TO the hayward soul and love,
and love, and love yet still more
until at last love is triumphant?
It is not love that casts off
forever the one who has done
the wrong and who never thinks
or purposes that the transgres-
scr shall be won back.
Sin of one against another
does not relieve OF obligation,
but rather does il obIieate the
one against whom the sin has
been committed to help the err
ing one back to the right way
Of living.
True love not only can stoop
low but it can wait long. But
there is reward in the waiting,
for love must triumph, and at
last the hayward one 10 brought
to the place where it can hear
loves message and be stirred to
high and holy aspirations. How
wonderful is the love that never
falls.

THE STORY.

TT WAS in the days of the wicked
! King Jeroboam H., ruler over the
northern kingdom of Israel, that son
was born to Beeri, devout man, and
one that kept himself free from the
corrupting influences all about. Now,
there was nothing in the birth Of this
child that marked it as different from
that of multitudes of other chill
dren throughout the kingdom, save
that with the coming of the babe
there had been given vision to
the father, and he had insisted on
calling the name of the boy Hosea,
for, said he: "He shall bring mes
sage of salvation to his nation"
This was all he would say, stead
lastly refusing to reveal anything con-
corning his vision, but that he had be-
held some unusual appearance and
that 1t always had some influence upon
the manner Of the rearing of the child
was manifest to all those who gave
the matter any thought at all
But fortunately, perhaps, for the IA
Their, Beeri, and for the son, Hosea,
they occupied a very lowly place in
the tribe and the community where
they lived, and SO they lived their sim
pie life almost alone and unnoticed.
1t was time Of great moral and
spiritual decay in the nation, but not
outstanding the destructive tenden-
cies at work, and the demoralizing ex-
ample of the king and his court, King
Jeroboam was a strong leader, and did
much to build the kingdom along ma
terial lines.
This very condition of prosperity
contributed to the general moral de-
cay, and inevitably fastened the day
when the Judgment of God must fall
upon the nation for its wickedness.
1t was in such an atmosphere and
Surroundings as this that the boy
Hosea was reared, but under the faith
full guidance and instruction OF his
godly father the lad early learned that
right, not desire, should rule the me-
and that obedience to GODS la"
brought more priceless heritage than
all that the nations could bestoW upon
the kingdom. He also learned Enat
the greatest battles nation can hghr
are not those in which one army is pit
ted against another and one nation
mounts to power and plumber over

Real PHILOSOPHER.

Philosophy, says Jerome K. Jerome,
is the art Of bearing other peoples
troubles. The truest philosopher he
ever heard of was a woman. She was
brought into the London hospital suf-

surgeon made a hurried examination.
He was a man of blunt speech. 1T

SAVAGE FLING AT AUDIENCE.
Inebriated Orator Resented DisapproV-
al of His Condition.

Like many statesman Of the
past" said Senator Beverage, "he
drank too much. And one Fourth of
July morning, on a platform hung
with flags and flowers before the
courthouse of country town, facing
an audience of farmers and their fam
lilies that had come from miles around,
the statesman arose to deliver the In
dependence day Grafton in a slightly
intoxicated state.
'He was not incapable of an ora
ton, but his unsteady gait his flushed
face and disordered attire spoke i'll
of him, and the audience Kissed.
"He held up his hand. They were
silent. Then he laughed scornfully
and said:

to appear in such a little, one-horse
town as this, he must be either drunk
or crazy. prefer to be considered an

What Women Have Done.

Mrs. M. F. Johnston of Richmond,
Ind, gave an interesting account at
the Boston biennial of the G. F. w. c.
of the Art association Of that city,
which is ten years old. Five hun
dred dollars is appropriated each year
for the purchase Of picture,
and the council gives 500 for
the annual exhibition. The stand
ard in pictures and crafts has
changed, she says, and in the next few
years much is expected that will give
the children the opportunity Of great
er culture and knowledge of art.

Poiitenese.


It was the last day of the term in
one of our public kindergartens. The
children were all seated around the ia
bles thoroughly enjoying the treat Of
ice cream which the teacher always
provided on this occasion.
CHANGING around the room at the
beaming faces of the children, the
Kindergarten noticed one child pick
up his plate and lick it.
She went up to him and said in a
low tone of voice: Freddie, put down
your plate; it is not polite to pick it
up and lick it,"
Fred obeyed at once, quietly plac-
ing his plate on the table. He then
put his head down to the plate and
licked it.
