Drive the Liquor Habit
 From Your Home
Can Be Done Secretly

New York-Physician and druggists unhesitatingly recommended 'Tescum powders for the liquor habit in any form. They quickly destroy the cray ing and make whisky and other alco- hOlic beverages repugnant. Druggists will tell you Tescum is selling better than any other remedy for the liquor habit. There is a reason for this. It is because iS gives better satisfactior. One physician says: T can stand in the door of my home and throw a stone into neighhOr's yard to whom I gave TeScum powders for drunkenness, and he was completely cured. Have also cur ed a large pumber of other patients.' A druggist reports: "Tescum is having an enormous sale. It gives excellent satisfaction" lady recently wrote
 T have used Tescum on my husband secretly and he has not taken a drink in three months" Another lady says: T only wish l had known of Tescum before" Here is another who has tried it: After taking two boxes of Tescum did not crave liquor: Another at all. Just think of the thousands of dollars he has spent for whisky. The few dollars 1 spent for Tescum has been worth thousands >Here is an eN- box of Tescum to my friend, Mrs. c NJ. for her to try on her husband Hope she will be as successful as I have been. for it's wonderful. l will never tell my husband what cured him" And so on it goes, one enthusiastic report after another. If you have relative or friend who drinks. just try it for a few weeks nd note the marvellous change. They will soon complain that drink does not taste the same and in d short time they will stop altogether and never know the reason why.

Hartford Archdeacon Lenten Preacher

The first of the united Lenten ser vices of St. Andrews Christ and Trim ity Episcopal churches was held in Trinity church on Thursday evening, with each church being well represent ed. Following the reading of the les son by Rev. R. R. Graham and prayer by Rev. William H. Smith, the Lenten address was delivered by Rev. Edward T. Mathison, archdeacon of Hartford. Rev. MT. Mathison took as his text the seventh verse of the fourth book of Genesis: If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin coucheth at the door; and unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him"
 The scene in which this text is spoken is when Cain and Abel present their offerings to God, said Rev. MT. Mathison, and the offering of Abel, who offered the frstlings of his flock, was accepted in the sight of the Lord, but the offering of Cain, which were the fruits of the soil, were rejected. Cain was wroth and his countenance fell and it was then that God repeated the passage of the text.
 We often rebel against God, but if we do right our conscience win tell that we will be accepted and if we dc not right our conscience also tells we l will not be accepted. If we don't dc well sin lieth couched at our door. It does not matter whether we live in a hut or within marble halls, the couch | ing form of sin is ever at our door.
 This couching form of sin is likened l to the cat family, waiting to spring | upon it's prey. At first it is like g ! tiger Whelp, a lion cub, a young pan ther, or any of the young of the cal | family, A man comes home and sees a. furry form at his door and, it beins young and cute, attracts his attention l It is a tigers whelp. He takes it up pets and feeds'1it. Time goes on ant 1 he does not notice that the beast i: 1 gaining strength until one day it i:
 excited to jealousy and then 1t springs
 on the man. He may not be killed, bu 1 he is badly torn.
 Note how similar this picture is t the growth of sin. The young maI
 lifts his glass high and drinks Ions | and thinks he is enjoying life. H doeth not well. He boasts that he cal take or leave 1t alone at his will. H. l has taken in the tigcr whelp that h.
 found at his door. Time passes ani finally he wakens to the realization
 that the beast has become his maste and he becomes q Atottering wretch The couching form of sin has becom his master.
