THE MOST
DANGEROUS DISEASE

No organs of the human body are
so important to health and long life
as the kidneys. When they slow up
and commence to lag in their duties,
look out! Danger is in sight.
Find out what the trouble is-with-
out delay. Whenever you feel ner-
vous, weak, dizzy, suffer from sleep
lessness, or have pains in the back or
difficulty in passing urine-wake up
at once. Your kidneys need help.
These are signs to warn you that
your kidneys are not performing their
functions properly. They are only
half doing their work and are allow
ing impurities to accumulate and be
converted into uric acid and other
poisons, which are causing you dis
tress and will destroy you unless they

strong as we'll as the weak; the rich as
well as the poor. He respects none. He
excuses none. When he lays his cold,
icy hand on you, your pleadings and your
cries will all be fruitless you will have
to yield. He will crowd you to the wall
and blow his icy breath in your face and
you are gone The enormous toll that
has been taken from our number who
was Just in the prime of life, and so far
as health and surrounding circumstances
was concerned, they had bright pros
poets for a long life before them, is only
proof of the fact that man has no lease
upon life, and that life is uncertain and
death is sure Hence the necessity of
being prepared when death comes. We
may have nice homes; we may hold very
honorable positions we may have large
bank accounts but when death takes
hold of our form, our possessions are of
no value to us. We cannot bride death.
All the wealth we possess would not buy
one moment of time
Jesus said: "A mans life consistent
not in the abundance of the things that
he possesseth. When death calls for us
we will CO. Therefore, God has, thru
his great love to us, warned us of death
and the future that awaits the wicked,
and has provided way whereby we
may escape (not death), but the horrors
of death. We are told by the Great
Teacher that now is the accepted time.
Behold now is the day of salvation u
Cor 6:2.
There is no place beyond this life to
get right with God. Solomon said "In
the place where the tree fa1leth, there it
shall be-" So it is with man. Just as
death takes him out of this world, Just so
the judgment will find him. His moral
condition will not be changed; the life
you are living in this world is fixing and
scaling your future destiny Man in his
natural state is sinful, and must repent
or perish, but that all come to repent
ence. Also Jesus said Come unto Me
and | will give you rest" God has left
the human family utterly without ex-
cuse If death takes you away in your
sin, you are lost and you are to blame
for it. God has made us creatures of
choice and told us that the wicked shall
be turned into hell with all the nations :
that forget God.-Psa. OILY. But the
righteous into life eterna1-Matt rs 40
Death is sure; the judgment is sure All
will be brought to judgment and there
receive a reward according to the fife
lived in this world. What will your re-
ward be?

CONTRIBUTION BOX

Surely, we are made to realize as never
before, the truthfulness Of Gods Word
when He said: So death passed upon
all men.-Rom. S IL Also the truthful
ness of the inability of man to resist and
conquer the power of death. The wise
man said: There is no man that hath
power over the spirit to retain the spirit !;
neither hath he power in the day of
death: and there is no discharge in that
war; neither shall wickedness deliver
those that are given to it.-Ecc. s g.
Surely if men and women ever battled
against the powers of death, it has been
the last three months. Physicians have
done their utmost; remedies of all kinds
have been used extensively, and yet death
has taken the enormous toll of 100000
to $4,000 of our number in the United
States in the last 80 days.

Hair Often Ruined
 By Washing With Soap

] Soap should be used very carefully. la you want to keep your hair looking lfta best. Most soaps and prepared kshanpoos contain too much alkali. IThis dries the scalp. makes the hair khrttfle. and ruins it.
 | The best thing for steady use fs just lursinary muisified cocoanut oil (which lis pure and greaseless). and is better khan the most expensive soap or any,
 &hfng else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse fthe hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply En1oisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich, Icreanny lather. which rinses out easily, kxsmoving every particle of dust, dirt, hdzndruff and excessive oil. The hair hdFies quickly and evenly, and it leaves lthe scalp soft, and the hair fine and lsilky, bright, lust-ous, fluffy and easy Ito manage
 You can get nnufsifled cocoanut oil hgk any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and lR few ounces will supply every member lof the. family for months.
