asserts that Jesus entered into the yari-

reader laughing with Jesus.
THE MAN FROM JERICHO. BY Edwin Garlic
Ltsey. The Neaie Publishing Company, New
York.
The author is fun of the passion with
which Kentucky throbs, which has given
to her a race OF brave men and lovely
women. OF whom We hear and read 90
much He also has sought the drink
and-be-merry spirit Of Kentucky that
gives 10 her people dash and daring. as
well as a charming sffability and friend
liness.
"The Men from Jericho depicts charac-
ters and manners of life that are emf
nently readable. It does not contain a
dun line, and that is saying a great deal
/ for a novel ID moves with rapidity,
| its scenes are vivid, its atmosphere Is
true TO life. and the contrasting charac-
ters well massed. That is the real charm
of the book. It is SO natural that you
would like TO shake hands with level
headed Jack Glenning. You would also
ike to tell Julia Dudley how lovable you
think Der. And who wouldn't like to
stroke the glossy head of Maj. Dudiey's
fine colt The Prince. Who is not glad
that, despite the dastardly attempts to
poison and burn him alive and TO shoot
| him, he lived to run that famous race
and TO beat the horses of his would be
midnight assassin, Devil Marston.
In short, Mr.. Serl's story has all tho
cash and caring that one would expect
in q description Of Kentucky life.
THE WoMEN OF TOMORROW. By william
Hard. The Baker Taylor Company. New
York.
The chapters Of this book originally
appeared as separate articles in Every
body's Magazine They attracted atten-
tion at the time. owing TO their firm grip
and grasp Of significant detail and sound
basis in economics and sociology.
In this compilation the author discusses
the five critical phases m the mental de-
velopment OF the modern woman, viz:
The postponement OF marriage, the pre-
lIminary period Of self-support, the new
training for motherhood, the problem Of
| leisure, and the recent opportunities for
civic service. To 80 into detail in a re-
view of such a work as this would mean
10 tell the reader either too much or
too little to make IL OF interest for him
or her to peruse the entire book, which
| Is, of course, a necessity In order to full
ly appreciate and comprehend the mean
ing of the author and the valuable hints
and advice he proffers. The style is In
cisive. colloquial, and sparkling with cpl

by laymen. some OF whom are saying Il
is mistake In economics to combine all
three in one man. They are saying the
same concerning the bishop. where is now
usually combined the episcopal ONCE and
the money raiser and salary payer. Many
bishops are more comptroller than spirit

radical changes along this line are just
ahead as one result OF recent campaigns
for the development Of the laity.

Age has its attractions no less than
youth in a more serene and quieter
life. But 1t Is this very life of rest
without sufficient exercise that
brings with 1t those disorders that
arise from inactivity. Chief Of these
are a chronic, persistent constipa-
ton.
Most eldefly people are troubled
in this way, with accompanying
symptoms Of belching, elrowsiness
after eating, headaches and general
lassit,rde. Frequently there is diff

gativcs, What they need, women as
well as mon, IS a mild laxative tonic,
one that is pleasant to take and yet
acts without gripping.

quirements, and has in addition
