Solving Problems
clean and clear.

Some people try to work out life's problems
like they worked their arithmetic during their school
days. First they would look in the back of the
book: after they had found the answer it was easy
to guess the rest of the problem. That's poor
method of working arithmetic and it is foolish
way of trying to solve the problems of life. People
who are not willing to begin at the bottom and
work up rarely ever amount to much They appear
to know great deal, but they unable to explain
how they know it. They never solved the problem
according to the rules and consequently they fail to
clearly understand it. They have an inflated know
ledge of life in general, but it is mostly guesswork
and hot air. The man who cannot explain his view
has view. He is merely repeating the words of
another person or guessing at a solution To make
good and back up his assertion, must have
concrete grounds for his belief. To know thing
you have to understand it and you must study
subject before you can understand what 1t means.
You cant solve the problems Of life by looking in
the back of the book and guessing the method.
You have to follow the rules and work them out.
If you know the rules you can solve any prob
em mathematical mental, which may be pre-
sented to you for solution. You cannot guess at
the rules and you will fail to reach a complete
Outstanding of what you attempt if you fail to know
how you should 90 about it. Suppose the solution
in the back of the book should be wrong? man
would spend long time trying to make it fit the
problem and that is just what many people are try
ing to do with the problems of life. They try
ing to solve problems and make them fit wrong
lutions and they do not know it, There lies the
tragedy of it. If you work out your problems &C
cordng to the rules you can prove them and thus
you know when you have reached correct solution.
Study the problem and start at the beginning, TAX
ing it up piece by piece, until you have reached
conclusion. Do not grope around like blind man,
skipping here and there, trying to form idea of
what should be- Take the pages of Life's Problems
as they come and find a solution for each one.
Keep away from the back of the book You'll
reach it quick enough.-Ex.

If we keep minds clean every picture placed be-

Whenever we allow our minds to become specked

If we want minds to reflect true picture
of whatever may come before it, we must keep
minds clean. If fail to keep thoughts clean,
allow specks to appear and specks create

The way to overcome error-wrong thinking
is to think Truth. When Newton asked how
he succeeded in making many great discoveries,
be replied, by thinking" If you want to discover
way out of your groove of wrong thinking, you

There can be no shadows where the light of Truth

Obituary.

The whole community was shocked
at the sudden death of little Gail
Lynch, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. T. M.
Lynch. A very bright and winning
child, little Gail was loved by all who
knew him, and Of such an effection-
ate disposition that he loved every
one. Always delicate child, it was
only by the most watchful and loving
care that he lived as long as he did.
A cold taken week before his death,
although not considered serious, left
him in a weakened condition, and an
internal hemorrhage from the spleen.
on Monday afternoon, caused death
In few minutes. He was conscious
until the last gasp and tried to put
his arms around his mothers neck,
whispering, Don't cry, mamma. I
love you" All that loving hearts and
hands could do was done for him, but
he was too pure and sweet for this
world, and the Lord had called him

 CHILDREN i LOVE SYRUP OF FIGS
If Feverish, Bilious, Constipated, Give Fruit Laxative at
 Once.

Don't scold your fretful, peevish child. See if tongue is coated; this is sure sign it's little stomach, liver and bowels are clogged with sour waste:
 When listless, pale, feverish, full of cold, breath bad, throat sore, doesn't eat, sleep or act naturally, has stom- achache, indigestion, diarrhoea, give a teaspoonful of California Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours all the foul waste, the sour bile and ferment- ing food passes out of the bowels and you have a we'll and playful child again. Children. love this harmless "fruit laxative" and mothers can rest easy after giving it, because it never fails to make their little "insides" clean and sweet.
 Keep it handy, Mother! A little giv- en today saves a sick child tomorrow, but get the genuine. Ask your drug gist for bottle of "California Syrup of Figs" which has directions for ba- bies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly on the bottle: Re member there are commercials sold here, so surely look and see that yours is made by the "Galifornia Fig Syrup Company" Hand back with contempt any other fig syrup.-Adv.
