A GEM FROM THE BOOK.

The one bright hope OF the
Jews during all the dark por-
tions Of their history, and even
to to-day among the faithfub
was the thought of the ultimate
glory and exaItation of their be-
loved Jerusalem.
There Is such triumphant
note of joy in this book, and 1t
may we'll be a subject Of con-
temptation by those Of US to"
day as pointing to a dispense
tion yet to come.
Put off, O Jerusalem, the gar
ment of thy mourning and af-
Fiction and put on the eomeli-
ness of the glory that eemeth
from God forever.
Cast about thee a double gar
ment of the Righteousness
which cometh from God; and
set diadem on thine head Of
the glory of the everlasting.
For God will show thy bright
ness unto every country under
heaven.
For thy name shall be called
of God forever, the peace of the
righteous, and the glory Of
Gods worship.
Arise, O Jerusalem, and stand
on high, and look about towards
the east, and behold thy chill
dren gathered from the west
unto the east by the word of
the holy orc, rejoicing In the
remembrance of God.
For they departed from thee
on foot, and were led away of
their enemies; but God bring
eth them unto thee exalted with
glory, as children Of the king
dom.
For God hath appointed that
every high hill, and banks of
long continuance, should be cast
down, and valleys filled up, to
make even the ground, that Is
rael may 90 safely In the glory
: of God.
Moreover ven the woods and
every sweet-smeIlinu tree shall
: overshadow Israel by the COM
mandment OF God.
; For God shall lead Israel with
Joy In the light of his glory
: with the mercy and righteous
: ness that cometh from him.

His Presence Ever Near.

Thou God seest mel" is a truth that
should be burned into the conscious.
ness of every one. In the light Of that
realization all life should be lived. It
is useless for any man to suppose that
he can get away from God. The
psalmist considered that question and
concluded that there was nowhere a
place whittier he might fee to escape
from the presence Of the Almighty.
But to the humble, trustful, abedient
soul the all-the-time presence Of its
God is thought which brings not ter
ror but comfort, and which inspires
rather than depresses.

Helpful Hints on
Hair Health.
Scalp and Hair Troubles Generally
Caused by CareIesSness.

Dandruff is contagious disease
caused by microbe which also pro-
duces badness. Never use a comb
or brush belonging to some one else.
No matter how ceanly the owner
may be, these articles may be in
fected with microbes, which will in
feet your scalp. 1t is far easier to
catch hair microbes than it is to get
rid of them, and single stroke of
an infected comb or brush may we'll
lead to badness. Never try on any
body else's hat. Many hat band is
the resting place for microbes.
If you happened to be troubled
with dandruff, itching scalp, falling
hair or badness, we have remedy
which we believe will completely re-
lieve these troubles. We are SO sure
of this that we offer it to you with
the understanding that it will cost
you nothing for the trial if it does not
produce the results we CLAIM. This
remedy is called Rexall "93" Hair
Tonic. We honestly believe it to be
the most scientific remedy for scalp
and hair troubles, and we know of
nothing else that equals it for effect
iveness, because of the results it has
produced in thousands of cases.
Rexall 1913" Hair Tonic is devised
to Danish dandruff, restore natural
color when it's loss has been brought
about by disease, and make the hair
naturally silky, soft and glossy 1t
does this because it stimulates the
hair follicles, destroys the germ mat
ter, and brings about a free, healthy
circulation of blood, which nourishes
the hair roots, causing them to tight
en- and grow new hair. We want
everybody who has any trouble with
hair or scalp to know that Rexall
1913" Hair Tonic is the best hair tonic
and restorative in existence, and no
one should scott at or doubt this
statement until they have put our
claim to a fair test, with the under
standing that they pay us nothing for
the remedy if it does not give full and
complete satisfaction in every par
ticular. Two sizes, SO cents and

AFTER THE DOCTORS.
Health Officers Wants Them to Re-
port Births.

Health officers of the state who
attended the recent conference at Des
MOineS are up in arms over what they
allege to be practice among many
physicians of refusing to report to
local boards of health the births that
occur in that community. They
charge that in many instances the
physicians are too lazy to make the
report and that in other cases there
is a deliberate concealment of births
in order to prevent public knowledge
of cases that might require public in
vestigation.
They allege that in some instances
children are born and die almost i'm
mediately and health boards never
hear of it until long time after
wards, because physicians absolutely
refuse to make report of such cases.
In their allegations against certain
class of physicians health officers de-
clare that there is practically no use
of requiring reports to local boards
as the physicians will make such re-
port or not, just as they please, and
the local board is powerless to relieve
the situation.
They also charge that there should
be an amendment to the law making
| it absolutely compulsory on physi-
clans to report all births so that
physicians could not plead that the
matter is taken care of by the census
authorities. They declare that it is
not the list of those children who are
born healthy and grow up that is
| wanted so much as the list of those
who die at birth from causes which
never become public. here is where
the public lacks protection, allege
! the health officers. They charge that
such deaths are frequently due to
contagious disease and that the
public is entitled to know the facts
or at least local boards of health
should have such knowledge in
their possession.
