! 81 was so nervous that. l Just
couldn't sleep. I had no desire to
eat and got so weak that couldn't
even walk from one chair to the
other, much less do any of my house
work. I spent. hundreds of dollars
and took all kinds of medicines and
treatments but none of them did me
one particle of good: -: ~-
'"The way Tanlac has helped me is
nothing less than wonderful. My
kidneys are now in fine condition and
the pains are entirely, gone from my
back and around my heart. My
strength returned rapidly and that
bad cough has disappeared. The
rheumatism has all gone from my
wrists and elbows and j can do all
my homework with perfect ease

Fuel OIL for Railroads.

The great scarcity of coal has caus

Bathing and Health.

The Hebrews, Hindus and NOLAN.
nnedans, as a part Of their religion,
are required to keep the body clean
by frequent ablutions and baths and
this has had far-reaching effect up
on the healthfulness Of those people.
When the Roman empire fell. the mag
niflcent system Of baths, which its
people had and used for cleanliness
of body. soon lapsed into decay. Only
!. in Spain, under the Moors, was the
system Of bathing kept up. There. to
conform to the religious rites Of IS
lam, luxurious baths were maintained,
but when the Moors were expelled the
misguided pious people RACED to the
ground these remnants Of heathenism.

Cd The loss OF a son. The ties Of
nature bind together the hearts Of
parents and children IN such a way
that separation by death is very try

belhon against his father and God
Could he but have had the assurance
that this course was regretted, or
could he have heard a cry OF forgive
ness. his grief. no doubt. would have
been greatly lessened: CD he knew
that his rebillious son had now gone
TO answer TO God for his crimes-he
knew their parting was forever; (4)
he knew that this was but the Bit
Ter fruit of his own sin. In a sense
he was the destroyer of his own
child. May this example deeply i'm

ture we turn TO contemplate the
depths OF fathers love. Death eff
faces all faults: all wrongs are for
gotten and only the memory of happy
days is kept. The father is willing
10 die, even for a rebellious son.
This illustrates Gods love TO us in
Christ which made him willing to
die for his children.

PRO PAIRLA

Tip Sans had twins
And a razor-backed SOW
Five dogs and a mule
And an old roam COW;
A bone spawned filly
And a one-room house,
And a little wrinkled woman
Just as meek as a mouse.
Old TIP raised tobacco
And he trafficked in skins,
For he had seven sons
In addition 10 the twins;
And every mothers son.
And the little nanny, Jude,
Smoked a pipe all day
And the twins both chewed.
But Tip kept n digging
And he never lost heart,
For the dogs hunted rabbits
And they caught a right smart
And the bone-spavined filly
And the mule pulled a pillow,
And they lived off the givings
OF the old roam COW
And the acorn-fatted farrow
OF the razor back SOW.
But here the story closes
OF my little romance,
For the seven sons are sleeping
on the battlefields of France;
But their daddy grows tobacco
And traffices still in skins,
And the little wrinkled nanny
Has another pair Of twins.
