well born, well environed after birth, and apparently the very ones who would be chosen of God to be the joint heirs with His Son in the great kingdom that is to bless all mankind Nevertheless, the scriptures make clear that not many of this kind will be of the kingdom class not that God is unwilling to have them because of their education, wealth and good morals. but that these very quail ties make them less ready to accept the divine terms.
 All are sinners, whether they know it or not All should be honest enough to confess the fact; and God requires this very honesty. this very confession of our need, before the merit of Christ can be Imputed to us, covering our bemishes. This better class, represented in the elder brother, seem to feel that in contrast with the lower strata of society they are perfection itseH, and that God would be sure to desire them. His declaration, however, is that not many great, not many noble, nor learned, nor mighty, are being chosen, but chiefly the mean things of this world. rich in faith to be heirs of the kingdom
 God evidently wishes to have a class honest enough to acknowledge their own lmperfection and their unworthiness of His favors. So doing, He will bless them with knowledge of themselves and of His righteousness: whereas others, self satisfied and unwilling to accept the grace of God in Christ or to confess their need of any covering for their blemshes are not humble enough to be of the class that the Lord desires. Thus it comes that the majority who accept Gods favor and become His children are from the younger brother class-that described by the apostles-not many rich noble learned. wise. but chiefly the poor or !. .tnl, la, their wretched condition and their need of forgiveness and help, while frequently others who have lived more open lives do not recognize their need.
 Perhaps no other parable has, been so helpful to the poor and needy. the sin ful and the weak, who have a desire to return to the family of God. They SC their own picture in this parable. and are encouraged. The Heavenly Fathers char acter has been so misrepresented to them by the creeds of the dark ages that they fear Him and expect no kind reception from Him. As the proper thought of Gods character reaches the poor and the depraved. they receive a suggestion of hope from this parable and other scrop- lures. This hope assists many of them to a full return and full surrender to the God of all grace.
 The prodigal son is represented as com ing to himself. awakening to a realiza- ton of his dire necessities as coming to a knowledge of the fact that his father had an abundance, and probably was will ling to let him have a share of the bless ing which he no longer merited. His ex- pression, T will arise and go to my father" represents what should be the attitude of all repentant ones-the atti- titude which all Christian people should help them to attain-relance upon the Heavenly Fathers love and mercy and His provision in Christ Jesus for the for giveness of their sins and their recep- ton back to His love and care.

The Real Secret of
 Rejuvenating the Face

She holds the true secret of facial re- juyenation who has learned how to re- move the dead skin particles as fast as they appear. It's a secret anyone may possess. The aged, faded or discolored surface skin may be gradually absorbed in an entirely safe and rational manner by the nightly application of ordinary mercolized wax. Within a week or two the underlying skin, youthful and beau tiful to behold. has taken the place of the discarded cuticle. So little of the old skin Is absorbed each day there's no inconvenience at all, and no one sus- poets you are putting anything on your face. The mercolized wax, procura ble at any drug store Gan ounce is suffic- ienO, Is applied like cold cream. In the morning 1t is erased with soap and water. It's the best thing known for freckles, blackheads, pimples, moth patches, liver spots and fine surface wrinkles
 For the deeper wrinkles. an excellent recipe is: Powdered saxolite, 1 oz, dis solved in F pt. witch hazel Bathing the face in the solution produces quick and wonderful results.

VICTORY FORL. &N.
 IN SUIT BROUGHT
 BY ECCLES & CO.
U. s. Court Affirms Judg- ment of District Court.
 S70,00O Damage Suit

New Orleans, April &.-(Special.)-In the case of Alexander Eeeles X Co. vs. Louisville and Nashville Railroad com today rendered the following opinion.
 ''We doubt if there was sufficient evil dence to warrant the submission of the ca SC to the jury, but as it was submitted under instructions in which we find no reversible error, and as we find no error in any of the rulings admitting or re- ieeting evidence, the judgment of the district court is affirmed"
 Alexander Eecles X Co.,. cotton mer- chants of Liverpool. England, brought suit in February, 1911, in the Morgan county law and equity court against the Louisville and Nashville Railfoad com pany for the sum of s70,s19.99, alleged to have been lost by them through the frauds perpetrated by Knight. Yancey X Co.,, claiming that the railroad company was party to the frauds and was there- fore liable for the losses incurred.
 The suit was transferred by the de- fendant railroad from the state court to the federal court, and was tried before a jury at Huntsville in May. 1912 verdict being rendered for the defendant.
 Case Argued Last Winter
 Judge Grubb, who presided at the trial of the case, denied the plaintiffs a new trial and the case was brought by them to the court of appeals at New Orleans where it was argued and submitted last December before Judges Pardee, Shelby and Burns. The plaintiffs losses were caused by cashing drafts of Knight Van cey & Co. of Decatur, Ala. which were accompanied by forged cotton bills of lad ing, the cotton described therein not hav- ing been received by the carrier, the Louisville and Nashville Railroad com pany. Eeeles X Co. held the railroad liable because, during the time from 1905 until the failure of Knight. Yancey X Co., in April, 1910, other forged bills of lading of the same character had been used under like circumstances, on which other consignees had made advances, and through the eonnivance of agents of the railroad, deliveries were allowed to be made upon such forged bills, whereby it is contended, the railroad, by its course
 
 bills of lading, had held out all forged bills as genuine.
 On the trial before the jury there was evidence tending to show that, after a cotton bil lof ladng had been forged and used as collateral for foreign drafts, the alleged forger, Knight. Yancey & Co., having delivered to the carrier cotton of the same quantity, weights, numbers marks, etc.. obtained true bills of ladine substantially identical with the forged bills, and thereafter the true bills being suppressed, delivery was allowed to be made upon such forged bills, all witt more or less knowledge on u oi the inferior agents of the e

Opinion Will Affect Other Cases

A number of other important suits of a similar charascter depend upon the out come of this case. The failure of the firm Of Knight Yancey X Co.,, with it's astounding disclosures. has been the oc- casion of considerable litigation in the law, the bankruptcy and the criminal courts.

Take Capital in Thirty Days

It Is confidently asserted here that the United States can put 10000 men in Mex leo City in 30 days, even if the rail- roads were destroyed, and they will op- crate along certain lines carefully mapped out months ago. The campaign will in no sense be a blind march over an un- explored and unfamiliar region.
 The greatest weakness of Mexico in the present struggle Is arms and ammunition especially of modern make With her ports bottled up and the manufacture of arms and ammunition in Mexico of ab- solutely no consequence, no matter how many men Huerta is able to force into service they would be ineffective be- cause of his lack of arms. Counting both the rebel and federal forces it is doubt full if Mexico can put over 5000 men, fully armed. in the field at all points. and an army of that size would not take long to consume all theier available am intuition.
 With this state of affairs existing, real war in Mexico cannot last long, Guerilla warfare may last indefinitely. This is the real terror of a conflict with Mexico in which the United States undertakes to restore peace and order in that country.

 Suffrage is possessed by all citizens who have reached the age of Is years if married. and of 21 years if not married. Mexico has a voting population of prae- tieally 3,ooo,0oo, but in no election have there been 1oo,00o votes cast, demonstrat- ing how little the people have to do with the actual running of their government.
 Mexico is a veritable storehouse of min eral wealth. In spite of the fact that the principal source of natural wealth of the republic is silver, gold and copper and other minerals to lesser degree, the az ricultural resources deserve greater at tention than they have generally been accorded. The annual value of the prod ucts of the soil and of cattle exceeds $2o0, ,0o0.ooa. which is really more than that of the metals

Valuable Woods Obtained

From the forests many Valuab ble woods are obtained. Mahogany and Spanish cedar from the tropics are the best known, but others are coming into the market. and in the north much pine lum- Der is taken. Nuts are also gathered to an annual production of S400,000.
 Two great mountain chains traverse the republic forming between them num- Der of plateaus and valleys. The plateau of Anahuac, on which is situated the cap 1tal, is the largest and most important. Between this plateau and Vera Cruz are high and almost impossible mountains difficult of passage for an army and which afford a great natural protection for the Mexican capital if the railroads should be destroyed. There is one tunnel and pass on the railroad leading from Vera Cruz to Mexico City, where it is said that a small force of Mexicans could keep an entire army at bay.
 There are more ways than one how ever, to get an army into Mexico City. The war college at Washington has every scrap of information obtainable on this subject, American engineers in various dissuises and ostensibly following other occupations have been in Mexico during the last year and have garnered every de- eail, and now have mass of data which if of vast value to our forces in the pres ent crisis.
