MAN HAD BRICK IN HIS
STOMACH FOR 10 YEARS

One man recently stated that for
10 years he felt like he had brick
in his stomach. This feeling was
due to the lump of undigested food
he always had inside of him. He
was weak, worn out, headachy,
swollen with gas and terribly con-
stipated. Recently he started TAX
ing INNER AID and says the feel
ing like brick in his stomach
disappeared the second day. Bowels
are regular now, gas and headaches
are gone and he feels like new
man.
INNER AID contains IL Great
Herbs; they cleanse bowels, clear
gas from stomach, act on sluggish
liver and kidneys. Miserable peo-
pie soon feel different all over. So
don't 60 on suffering! Sold by all
drug stores here in Holmes county.

CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD
Thou art the Christ, the Son OF
the Living God" Matthew 1916.
All the world is agreed that
Jesus was true man. Even agnos-
tics and aetheists praise Christ as
the great example of righteousness
But the Jesus Of the Bible is not
only true man, great and good,
but He is also the exalted Lord, the
Son of the living God. He is truly
God.
For making this assertion and
claim, the people of His time sought
to stone Him. The charge brought
against Him before PLATE was that
He made Himself the Son of God.
Even today, Christ, the Son of God,
is a rock of offense to many. But
God says, "He that honoreth not the
Son, honoreth not the Father which
hath sent Him." John 5:23.
This Jesus Christ of the Bible
the God man--is the heaven sent
Saviour of the world. God, the
Father, out of His great love for
the world, sent Him to save lost
men. Christ Jesus came into the
world to save sinners" Timothy
lis. Neither is there salvation in
any other" Acts 4:l2 He is the only
Saviour of lost sinners. In Him is
redemption through His blood, the
forgiveness of sins" Ephesians IL
For this reason, the Bible says,
"He that believeth on the Son hath
everlasting life; and he that believ-
eth not the Son shall not see life,
but the wrath of God abideth on
Him." John 3:36. Therefore, BE
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ, and
thou shalt be saved" Acts 1881.

HEALTH NOTES
"A Gentle Hint I Would Like
to Puss AlouQ"


Recently / had an occasion to
visit Mrs. Jacobs classroom in the
Goodman Grammar School. She has
the third grade. When lunch time
came she gave the order in very
motherly way to 60 wash your
hands and get ready for lunch. The
children marched out to the wash
room with as much order as trained
soldiers. Then as they marched back
in the same orderly manner, she
handed each one paper towel
They dried their hands, dropped the
paper towel in waste basket and
marched out to the lunch room.
Such an improvement over schools
where little or no provisions are
made for hand washing and not a
great deal of attention to the chill
dren washing their hands.
So many nice and necessary
habits con be taught children in
school that will mean much to them
in after years.
