They were tired of being peculiar. All
the other nations had kings, so they
wanted a king also. With the same
shallow reasoning that has misled men
and women in all ages, they decided
that to be in fashion was the ultimate
goal.
Israel decided that it would rather
follow the multitude to do evil than to
follow God to do right. 1t rejected the
divine program of theocratic demo
cracy, because it wanted to be in style.
So a deputation of leaders waited on
faithful old Samuel Zone of the few
characters in the Old Testament con-
corning whom the record has no criti-
cism) and told him bluntly that he was
old and out -of-date, and that they want
ed an eye-flling king, like the nations
around them.
Hunting Asses, Finds Throne.
Ability to give up ones own plans
sweetly, and to be willing to work well
in a secondary place, are signs of size
and saintship. Most men, repudiated
as Samuel was, would have left the
people to stew In their own juice.
Achilles.like, they would say, as they
sulked apart, "The people don't want
me: now let them get along without
me-"
Samuel, happily, was not of that sort
II God could let the people have their
own way, so could he. Since the nation
had chosen the second best course, he
would help it to make the most of the
choice In or out of Office, Samuel was
a patriot, and the centuries have sa-
luted him. Whole heartedly, he went
in to cooperate with God and the
people in making Israel a successful
kingdom.
God had a man for this emergency.

DO you think the Chinese will ever
give up their beautiful and comfortable
garments for western dress?' inquired
a missionary of a mandarin less than
ten years ago.
"No, I'm sure they will not was the
positive reply Nevertheless, today that
mandarin, like most other progressive
city Chinese, is wearing European
clothes. The craze to be in fashion has
seized China, even as it earlier seized
Japan. Half the economic and social
difficulties Of the Japanese nation are
due to this unreasoning desire to be
like other people.
There is nothing new about that,
however. Old Israel was in the
same case, at the time of our present
lesson. Under Samuel's leadership
somthing like national solidarity had
been attained. Far reaching social and
educational institutions had been estab-
lished. Song had been introduced into
public worship. Religious schools had
been founded. A simple and effective
democracy which was also theocracy
was in operation.
Every sheep thinks the grass in the
next pasture greener, and these Israel
ties, quite in the spirit Of our own
young people who want above all
things else to be In fashion and to do
what Everybody does" had become in.

biles and that would cut off one big
source of trouble. OF course We must
pass the bill for state agents and pro-
vide absolutely for the state enforce
ment of the prohibitory law. This
matter has been discussed all over the
state in connection with the proposals
for state agents and 1t is meeting with
approval.
Now, with these additions to the
laws of the state, it will then be up
to the people themselves to make OF
prohibition a success in Iowa. 1t will
all depend On the men they elect to
office As for myself, I have done
quite a lot of speaking around at off
ferent places on the phase Of the sub
ject which relates to law enforcement
and the necessity for election to office
of men who are able to and will en-
force the law l intend to do more
of this, especially in the part of the
state where | live, for that is one OF
the most important things ahead OF
us. II is of vast Importance that the
temperance forces stand together now
and not divide at any point. II they
are united they can and will elect a
governor and attorney general, and
other officials, who will enforce
the laws of the state. With this done
there Will be no question about the
success of prohibition"
It will be recalled that Senator
Francis, like a good many others OF
the members of the legislature who
finally voted for the dry measures,
came to the session with doubt as to
the expediency Of attempting statu'
tory prohibition at this time; but now
all the dry forces are as one man in
favor of doing everything to make OF
the prohibition law success. 1t IS
an open secret that number OF the
members of the legislature voted FOR
repeal of the mulct law against their
better or first, judgment; and that
which effected the change was the
substantial evidence which came from
all parts of the state that popular sen.
timent was back of the movement to
make a complete job of ending the
liquor traffic in Iowa.

or course the man himself, who was
farmer, Saul, son of Kish, knew
Inaught of his high destiny. He was off
hunting some strayed asses from the
| family place. Diligently and far he
searched. No thought above livestock
entered his handsome head. And he
| was leaving no stone unturned to find
them. When his servant suggested that
they consult Samuel the seer, at Ra-
NAH, Saul agreed; for this leader of
the people was helper in things small
and great. Thus it was that, all unwit-
tingly, Saul stumbled up to the steps
of throne; for ere he left Samuel's
company the sacred oil Of amounting
haG been poured on his head.
The Good-Iooking King.
Formal choice by the people was
necessary to make Saul king. The ma
tion was in transition state, without
a capital or stated assembly, SO Samuel
called Israel to rally once more to Miz-
pah, there to choose by lot their first
ruler, after the fashion Of the world.
OF course, the choice fell upon Saul.
Then an unexpected emergency
arose. The elected nominee could not
be found! He had hidden himself
among the baggage. The honor cover
ed him with difidence. When hailed
forth, however it was seen that, when
he stood among the people? And all
the people shouted, and said Long live
the king"
So the desire of the eyes Of Israel
was fulfilled. They had king, a good
Locking giant. Because man looketh
or the outward appearance" this blush
ing big fellow satisfied them. They
were yet to learn that God looketh on
rise to his possibilities. Israel was
like the nation itself, failed finally to
the heart" AS we shall later see, Saul
sore]y punished in this splendid ap-
pearing leader by being given it's own
way. Saul and the monarchy proved a
poor substitute for Samuel and the.
theocracy.

Des MOines. March 3-The really
big and serious problem for the tenn
perance forces Of the state Of lowe
at this time. now that statutory pro
hibition has been decided upon as the
final policy of the state, is that of sc
minimizing the inevitable friction ant
certain trouble arising from enforce
ment of the law in places where sen
timent is adverse as to make certain
the retention of the policy That is
the way some of the temperance PEG
pie are stating it now. And they rec
ognize that the legislature still has
a goodly task to perform.
There are two things that we must
do now, in view of the adoption of the
policy Of statutory prohibition" said
Senator Leslie B. Francis yesterday
Sin order that there shall not be In
the future any backward step in the
matter of temperance in Iowa, name
ly:
First. some practical legislation to
lessen the opportunity for evading or
violating the law, and rendering more
certain It's strict enforcement in every
part Of the state, and
Second, the election to once, anu
particularly as governor and attorney
general, of men who will enforce the
law.
an regard to the former matter,
there are some measures that this
legislature must take before it ad.
iourns. In one of our little informal
conferences the other day there was
good deal of discussion as to how
to stop the collection of liquor bills.
The suggestion that seemed finally to
be most acceptable was one that in
asmuch as the sales are illegal, as q
rule, makes it illegal to collect Dill
for a sale that is in violation of law.
If the sale has been legal, 1t is al
right to collect the bill; if the sale Is
illegal, then make it illegal to collect:
II we do that, these collectors on mail
orders will quit. Now Whitnore has
most excellent bill before the SEN
ate that will, if passed, put stop to
the soliciting for liquor sales, because
il makes the solicitor a bootlegger
That would stop the soliciting, ana
the other bill would stop collecting on

The dividing line between formulas

by the statute. The law does not apply
to preparations and remedies which
do not contain more than the following

For the purpose Of the law a hospi'

to a decision received Saturday. A
physician is not required to keep a
record of drugs dispensed when max
ing personal visit to a patient, accord

patient in hospital he will be consiG-
cred as making personal visit and if
he dispenses drugs to such patients in
hospitals the institution will be requirs

the same and address of the person to

are exempt from these requirments.
Among the more common prepare

follicular tonsilitis, nausea tablets,
