CURE THAT CATARRH

Our climate with its sudden changes
Is conducive to catarrh-which Is
q chronic Inflammation of the mucous
membrane surface Of head-nose or
throat.
One months local treatment with
Paxtine Toilet Antiseptic will con-
vince the most skeptical that Paxtine
is not a palliative but a specific for all
catarrhal conditions.
Paxtine is a perfectly harmless an
tiseptic and germicide in powder form
which contains all of the antiseptic
qualities of liquid ~antiseptics, but
with other valuable cleansing, germi-
cidal, and healing ingredients added.
Just a little in a glass of water as
needed-used as a spray and gargle.
will not only remove the accumulated
secretions, but heals the Inflammation,
destroys the germs of disease, and dis
pels the disagreeable odor caused by
chronic catarrh.

SMALL WOMEN MAY REJOICE
Stripes, Long Revers, Short Trains
and High HeeIed Shoes All
Help Them.

Now that stripes are at the top
notch of fashion 1t will be to the ad-
vantage of the short woman to take
some thought in the using OF striped
material for her gowns and suits.
In fact the fashions ars kind to the
short woman this season for with the
long revers on coats and wraps, the
simple cut and the small high toque,
any woman with a little discrimina-
ton in choice may In very fact add
a cubit to her stature"
In evening gowns the advent of the
short train has been heralded with de-
light by the small woman, for the
sweep Of goods at the back lends an
air Of dignity, grace and height to the
wearer that could not be gained with
the short length little girl" frocks
which were popular throughout the
winter.
Another help is the high heel
not the insecure French variety,
which is only suitable for evening
wear, but the high straight heel with
a broad enough base to admit of rest
ing the foot securely On the ground.
These are all immense helps to the
small woman, who, If she will but
take heed of them, may, In appear
ance, add several inches to her height.

Livinu In Gods Love.

Death shall not separate US from
the love of God; death is but a mo-
ment in life, an incident in the souls
career; and If God hath loved us once,
he shall love us evermore and on be-
yond the boundaries Of the world.
Gods love waits to be gracious unto
us. But what of life? Life with its
brightness, life with its gaiety, life
with all it's temptations; what of the
days that pass SO brightly, so busily,
so full of interest? All we know is
this: Life shall never take from the
heart of the eternal God the love that
once he has given to US. 1t is not
what it can do to us; but what it can
do to God that concerns this assur-
ance, and neither life nor death shall
separate us from the love of God.

Id.as From Paris.

New models continue to arrive from
Paris and the big fashion shops, which
began to display their spring and sum-
mer goods several weeks ago, are con-
stantly adding the latest importations
to their fascinating displays. Among
the attractive new things shown are
some very short WASTED frocks with
quaint little jackets, which one hest
tates to call Etons or boleros because
of the abbreviated peplum frills that
appear below their empire waist fin
ish. These effects are worked out in
both plain and figured silks, and some
of the most picturesque combine a
one-tone silk with a figured material.

fixed, the best known of these meth
DDS being the use of salt. vinegar or
alum in the rinsing water.
Some shades of blue are very per
ishable, and in these sugar of lead Is
used to fix the color, 1t being en-
ployed only once. and then during the
first washing in the proportion Of an
ounce to a bucketful Of water.
Salt, however, is best for all colors,
especially the light one. although
vinegar is more satisfactory in fixing
the dark colors.
Alum, which should be used for
green garments, should be melted in
boiling water before adding 1t to the
rinsing water, while in the case Of
ginghams with a combination of diff
ferent colors it is safest to 8 both
salt and vinegar.

The Lessons of Life.

The means and instruments of Gods
rule ARE everywhere largely furnished
by Providence, which, in truth, is a
system kept in motion for this very
purpose. The prevalence of kindness,
benignity, and long-suffering is i'm
pressed on the course Of Providence
In an immense, unsparing %outpourfng
of benefits on the world" One oracle
must sound forth from both the Bible
and the economy of Providence-"God
is love-" There are, of course, times
when Providence is compelled to use
the rod to imprint some of its lessons
on the mind of man, but forbearance
and long-suffering are leading features
of it's discipline, and the lessons are
all adapted to aid in its recovery.
Providence is mediatorial and redemp-
tive throughout.-Rev. John Telford.

In Christ Our Hope.

Prayer is not the most effective
thing in the Christians life. Jesus
Christ is better and more effective
than the best prayer ever offered. In
him, and not in prayer, lies our whole
hope. One who dated the beginning of
his richest Christian life and expert
ence from a time of prayer when he
had asked everything and received
everything, was reminded of this as
he prayed later, in gratitude for his
new blessings: mot because 1t was an
effective prayer, but because thou art
an effective Christ, was my prayer so
g~loriously answered" Those who are
called mighty in prayer" think least
about prayer as such, and most about
Christ. Yet the more we think about
Christ and the better we come to
know him. the greater will be the
place that We give to prayer in our
lives.

Witness-Bearinq.

The personal witness to Christ Is
more than that of spoken testimony
merely, important as that is. The
essential witness is that Of character.
The language of the life is more con-
slant and more convincing than that
of the lips. A really renewed heart
manifests itself by putting Christ's
teachings and his spirit into the con-
duct of life. The beauty Of holiness
witnesses to Christ as the flowers wit
ness to the ~life-giving energy Of the
sun. Obedience to Christ is much
more than the practice Of what the
world calls morality, 1t goes beyond
the requirements Of the Ten Com
mandments. 1t is obedience to the
words of Christ. The only safe direc-
ton for the Christian is, Whatsoever
he saith unto you, do it." The sermon
on the mount is not a counsel Of per.
lection; it is to be obeyed. Those who
keep Christ's sayings build on the
rock; those who do not keep them
build on the sand.

RUSTIC STAND FOR FERNS
How to Make This Decorative Little
Affair With a Strong Wooden
Box and Twlgs.

Little rustic stands of the nature
shown In our sketch, for holding a
fern in a pot and for placing upon
the table, can be very easily made,
and are extremely decorative.
For making them a small strong
wooden box should be obtained, into
which the pot containing the fern
will fit fairly closely, and a number
of straight twigs from which the bark
may be peeled. The twigs should
then be cut fat on one side, SO that
they will fit evenly against the side
of the box. to which they may be fast
ened with small thin, sharp nails.
These pieces of wood should be long

Gods PIar For Ua

The great apostle, writing to the
Ephesians says that we are treated
In Christ unto good works which
God hath before ordained that we
should walk In them" The works are
waiting for us, all we have to
do is to be willing to be lad into them.
How many Disappointment we should
have been spared in life If we had al
ways acted on this conyint'on! God

W devised ana SET III mO-
tion,' as conditions and needs, from
time to time, have suggested OF de-
manded. Perhaps some unnecessary
things have been thrust into the field,
springing from misguided zeal rather
than from need or knowledge. Ma
chinery, without power and wisdom
and persistent effort to run 1t, is worse
than useless.
The most perfect and thorough or
ganization of the forces is of no avail
except the individual recognizes his
personal responsibility and engages
his energies in the prosecution Of the
work, as though everything depended
upon his personal fidelity to God and
the immediate task at hand.
The First Duty.
The Office and calling of every m
bassador of Christ make soul-saving
his specific business. That is one
thing that his calling of God in Christ
Jesus requires of him. To succeed in
that respect he must earnestly strive
for it, The result does not come as a
matter of course" from a perfume

man must not think that his first bust
ness is simply to preach a certain

prise. The sermon Is not an end in it.
self. 1t is only a e to what should
be the real end Of everything that a
preacher does in his ministerial ca
pacity. Indifferent effort will accom-
plish but little. This Is especially
true in Christian work. Where there
Is not enough zeal and earnestness to
bring a mans efforts up to the point
of striving to achieve a treasured re-
suit, there will be no such achieve
ment. 1t is a pressing earnestness
that counts. The soul-winner's striv-
ing must be expectant, hopeful and
persistent.
Duty Of the Laity.
It Is just as necessary for the lay
member to strive to save souls as it
is for the pastor or the evangelist to
do so. If the laity would take hold Of
the work with some earnestness as
&ey expect of their pastors there
would be far greater results achieved
in winning souls for Christ. The pew
depends altogether too much on the
pulpit during the revival campaign.
We do not mean to say that too much
confidence can be placed in the preach
er and his efforts. But experience
and observation teach that many pas
tors do not get the help they need in
their special evangelistic meetings
from the members of the church. In
many instances the pastor must begin
and carry on his revival efforts with
a mere fraction of his membership in
attendance at the services. Often
those upon whom he should be able to
count for best support in his meet
ings divide their time between dis
tracing social functions and attend
ance at the revival which the preach
