Wilfred F. Root, the enterprising
druggist, rather than await the ordinary
methods of introduction, urged the DR..
Howard Co. to secure quick sale for
their celebrated specific for the cure
of constipation and dyspepsia by offer
ing the regular soc bottle at half-price.
The wonderful success of this plan
was a great surprise even to Mr.. Root
and today there are scores of people
here in Brattleboro who are using and
praising this remarkable remedy.
So much talk has been caused by this
offer, and so many new friends have
been made for the specific that the DR..
Howard Co. have authorized Druggist
Root to continue this special half-price
sale for a limited time longer
In addition to selling a soc bottle of
DR.. Howard s specific for 25c Mr.. Root
has so much faith in the remedy that

whom it does not cure.

took place. The nam
Israelites went out to meet them In bat
tie and were defea ed. In their chagrin
they looked to God, just as all the ma,
tions Of Europe today are doing.
Indeed, the Israelites had more
ground for attemD Dting to bring God
into the war, for invoking the assist
ance Of religious symbols, ETC., than
have the warning Kingdoms of today;
for God had decls red that they were
His special people, and that He would
protect them as long as they would
be loyal to Him. On the other hand,
the Kingdoms Of this world have
no such Divine promise. have no
ground for such expectations Of Di-
vine aid. They are falsely styling
themselves Chr stian Kingdoms
"Christendom"; whereas they have nei-
ther part nor lot with the Lord. He

A Present Day Parallel.
The Israelites doubtless had read
how the Ark OF tile Lord went before
them In the Wilderness journey, how
1t was In the midst Of the Jordan
when the people crossed dry -shod, and
how 1t was In the procession that
marched around Jericho when the
walls fell. So they determined to bring
the Ark and put 1t into the battle.
Their reasoning apparently was that
God would not pc rmit the Ark Of the
Covenant to be injured or captured
and that hence tie victory would be
bound to come to srael.
The people forgot that they had been
living In violation OF their Covenant
with God; and tina. that Covenant call.
ed for punishment; upon them at the
hand Of their enemies. They forgot
that the two priests were thieves and
robbers, garbed as the priests Of God
that they were immoral, impure, pos.
ing as the repres entatives Of the Di-
vine Holiness.
Today, as In the days OF Ellis sons,
the people shout as they couple the
Cause Of God will their national prof
ects. Again they forget that Gods
Cause Is under Iivine direction. and
will prosper best by the permission of
a great defeat to all these systems of
men, preparing incidentally for the es'
tablishment Of Messiah's Kingdom, aft
er the Armageddon Of the Bible shall
have humbled the world and made
them ready to accept the new King
Emmanuel and His Kingdom.
There was a great slaughter and a
