HOW FAT FOLKS

To be overstout is humiliatng.
Style and fat folks are strangers.
Therefore, people who are carrying
around a burden of unhealthy and un-
slightly fat will be glad to know how
they may reduce their weight without
starvation diet or tiresome exercises
If YOU want to get rid OF superfluous
fat in a simple, safe and reliable way
here is n test worth trying. Spend
some time in the open air, practice
deep breathing and get from any good
druggist a box of oil Of kcrein cap
'sules take one after each meal and
one before retiring at night: also fol-
low the other simple directions that
come with the box.
Weigh yourself once week so as TO
know just how fast you are losing
weight. and don't leave off the treat. =.
ment or even skip single dose. until
you are down 10 normal weight. SO

gree of loyalty. for the restored peo-
Piles did not forget to honor and re-
spect him as their deliverer.
The Lord stirred up the spirit Of
Cyrus. We have no reason to be-
lieve that Cyrus was essentially and
truly a worshipper of Jehovah. He
was not even a Semitic, but a descen-
dant of Japheth, and could hardly
have been expected to sympathize
with Hebrew theology. Nevertheless
he seems to have been man Of broad
mind. Possibly he thot there were
other gods, but was convinced that
Jehovah was the greatest Of them all.
At any rate. he felt under obligations
to the God OF Abraham for his power
and authority, and deemed II proper
that he should rebuild the house OF
Jehovah at Jerusalem. SO he called
upon all the Jews In his domain, II
they were 80 minded, to volunteer as
his messengers to accomplish the
task. Those who could not or did not
desire to go were asked to contribute
of their substance that the expedi-
ton might succeed. Like a good lead
er. he set the example by restoring
into reverent hands the vessels which
the Babylonian conqueror had taken
from the temple. Perhanps much Of
the reverence he felt for the God of
the Jews was due to examples that had
sprung up during the captivity to show
that the Jews had a religion that
made better men Of them. which he
knew was not true of idolatry. There

this thing, what credit was there to
Cyrus for doing what God virtually
compelled him to do? But Coo
shoses his vessels. Cyrus was just
the kind of man, had the right turn
of mind and the proper spirit for the
Holy Spirit to work upon. If we were
all controlled in our actions by d.
vine power without the exercise of our
will, there would be no virtue In
righteousness, because we would do
right because we could not help our
selves; neither would there be blame
for the wicked, for the power or the
evil one just as surely stirs up the
spirits of some men as the power or
God stirs up others There would be
an end to moral responsibility. and
the fact that God contemplated no
such condition is proven by the prom
ise of rewards and punishments-you
cannot punish a man for doing what
he cannot help. But we are all more
or less affected by this same power
that moved Cyrus. We are all In
fluenced to action by spirits, either
good or evil. That may sound old
fashioned, but 1t canont be denied.
Yet every one Of us acts within the
compass of his own will, and thereby
involves personal responsibility.
The most of us 60 along about our
every day affairs In q rut. We are
creatures of habit, following the die
tates of our training and the lessons
of experience. Our spirits are SOM
nolent Before we are nerved to ac-
complish any notable thing we have to
be Jared loose from this slumber.
Most Of us follow the lines of least
resistance until some outstanding
event wakes us up to do and to dare.
But, as in-the case OF Cyrus, by herit-
age and environment, we have al
ready formed the outlines OF char
acter that is ready either for the
| beneficent workings OF Gods spirit
or for the evil suggestions of the
devil. And for most OF this character
so formed we are individually re-
sponsible. Whenever there Is great
crisis in the affairs of mon. God never
fails to raise up the right man to
take the lead and work out his high
! purposes. But when he raises up that
! man the work Is not done In day.
] His whole life has been so shaped as
to prepare him for this great work,
altho the man himself probably did
not know that he was n man of des-
tiny until destiny called him. All
human history confirms this state
ment, and, II we needed any con-
firmation at home, look at our own
Washington and Lincoln. Cyrus was
not raised up. as far as he knew. to
lfulfill the prophecy Of God. but the
influences which shaped his previous

II Is significant. too, that the con-

practical results. Whatever teaching
