p SOCIETY LADIES I READ THIS You Will Find This Letter From Mrs. Baker, of Floral, Very Interesting. Floral, Ark.?"Until a month ago," writes Mrs. Viola Baker, of this place, "I was in very bad health. I was so ^eak and nervous that I was unable to do my housework. I tried Cardui, according to directions, and now I am In good health and recommend your medicine to all my friends. I gave Cardui to three of my friends to try, and they all say it helped them." Society and household cares make nerrous, weak women, who Buffer great pain and misery, much of which can be avoided by taking Cardui. Worry and overwork act on your nerves like rust on metal, and they simply go to pieces. You can't always make rusty metal bright again, and sometimes you can't get your nerves straightened out again, so better begin before the trouble goes too deep. For half a century, Cardui has been us?d with benefit, by sick women, thousands of whom have written, telling of the good results obtained. Doesn't this mean something to you? j Benefit by others' experience. Cardul will help you. Try it Ask your druggist about Cardui. N. "B.? WriUto: Ladles' Advisory Dept..

Three doo-, tors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dresa him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cuticura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was Impossible to touch him with the bare hand. There was not one square'inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in-removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the 8 creams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application or Cuucura ointment I began to see signs of Improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, but It finally yielded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected.

The polyglot policemen of Paris, who made their appearance about two years ago, are not an unqualified success, and only two members of the; corps now patrol the boulevards.

[Social Conditions in Large Cities By REV. GEORGE W. McDANlEL, D. D. Pajtor of Fir*t Baptiet Church 1 , Richmond, Va. V J mm f Text: Lovers of pleasure more than s lovers of God. I wish there -were no occasion for j this sermon. There are many sensitive souls whom Its plain language, ^ may offend. They do not believe that such subjects belong properly to pul- ( pit treatment. However, I speak because my conscience bids me. This service Is the discharge of a painful duty. "Do I seek to please men? If J I yet please men, I should not be the servant of Christ. The church members of our city in their attitude to- * ward moral conditions may be grouped in four classes. First, those who do 1 not know. They are good people, who * attend church. They know nothing of the sin and shame of the city streets, c Where ignorance is bliss it is folly to i be wifie. Second, those who know, t but do not care. They have no sense i of personal responsibility, since they: 1 are not participants in tne wrong. Their chief concern Is In taking care of self. Third, those who know, but say they cannot change conditions. Sin has always existed and always will. The scarlet woman has been In the world since the days of Solomon. It is useless to attempt to purify city life and improve social conditions. Whoever makes the effort is striking his head against a stone wall. Fourth, those who know conditions, feel their responsibility as citizens and Christians and endeavor to remedy the existing conditions. They may not like the crack of my rifle, but nevertheless, I am determined to take the shot. With thla in view I,. accompanied by an officer in citizen's clothes, took two walks down Broad street and saw sights which I blush to mention. The flrst was on Thursday night, the first clear night after about ten days of rain. They had come out'like the insects from under bark and sod. with tne nrst return 01 me spring sua. They swarmed the streets until it was difficult and, in some respects, dangerous to walk. Girls resorted to the back parlors of Italian confectionaries, where they sat in suggestive positions to welcome and tempt whoever might enter therein. An older girl, on evil bent, led her little sister on her perilous mission. Others whose lives disgraced the name of woman stood on corners or marched brazenly down the street Boys in knee trousers and girls In short dresses were out in the darkness of the night, when they should have been at home. Mashers followed giVla from block to block and around corner after corner, :ind led them down darl* alleys. All of this and more I saw. 'Twas enough to make the nead heavy and the heart sick. On the second night we visited the moving pictures. I saw nothing objectionable per se in the pictures. A minister was present, and they would bo guilty of no impropriety. All classes and conditions were in attendance. A dude, dressed in Prince Albert, a bloated faced sport and a weasley halffed man were there, who bought tickets in rotation and entered one after the other.

They are too tired to ^ attend the church on Sunday evening, j hut can parade the streets and Btan'd for a long time and spend hours see- , lng moving pictures and vaudeville after a hard day's work. Oh, con- , sistency, thou ai*t a jewel!

PLACE.?On the slopes of Mount )livet, overlooking Jerusalem. Suggestion and Practical Thought. The parable shiiies clearest In the ight of the circumstances. Jesus and lis disciples are still on Olivet, overooking Jerusalem and the Temple in til their glory. Jesus had Just foresld their destruction. Let the dis stples learn a necessary lesson from he cause of that ruin. ; Many and great talents had been :ommitted to the, Jewish nation. No lation had ever received so great a rust as they?the divine Revelation, eligious truth, and best of all the Messiah, the Son of God; and thus jower to become a blessing to all the vorld. This nation had refused to use these alents intrusted to them; again and igain they had buried the talent instead of using it; and now they were ibout to murder their Messiah, instead of using him, and thus to bury :his talent in the earth. The parable lay in full" view before he disciples' eyes. What the city ihen was, multiplied into the new Jerusalem of the Revelation, could lave been theirs evermore by faithful ise of the divinely entrusted talents, rhe loss of all, "the outer darkness," 'the weeping and gnashing of teeth," is the fruit of unfaithfulness, lay in ;he prophetic vision shown by Christ. And now that buried talent was jrought forth and was to be entrusted :o the disciples and to the Christian ihurch they were to found. The five ;alents were now offered to them, and :he vital question was what they rVUUlU UU Willi LUfcJIU. 1UC IWU CUUi DCS ?rere made very plain to them by the parable. It was written in letters of ight on their sky, printed indelibly )n their minds. * . A man traveling into a far country, md therefore wishing to leave his affairs in competent hands. He reprejents Jesus Christ who was about to eave his disciples and go to heavon, which was a far country in the sense :hat his servants could not have visible communication with him. He was to leave the spread of the gospel, ind the salvation Tit the world in the lands of his disciptes, although he vas with them in invisible but real presence. . ' The servants denote all those ,to ivhom the interests of the kingdom of leaven were entrusted. The Jewish rulers are among those represented Dy the man with one talent, for they :ooked upon the kingdom of God placed n their charge as a matter of small iccount compared with their own selfish interests. The apostles and early Christian leaders received some five :alents, some two, some one; and so lo all Christ's professed followers, and ill who have received from Christ Lhe privileges and blessings of his gospel. The principle applies all aien, for all have been entrusted by 3od with many things. Robert Louis Stevenson was talking 3ne day to the children of a school in Samoa about the Parable of the Talents, and told them there were three possessed by them all.

Faithfulness, aot success, nor the amount gained, was rewarded. God will say "Well ione" only to those who have done well. There are no empty compliments in the day of judgment. "Haniel teHs us that when he wrote the Hallelujah Chorus' he saw the heavens opened and all the angels and the ;reat God himself!" A modest man jf moderate ability said that he could1 aot expect God's Well done, but he did sxpect that he would say, Well tried; Well attempted. Enter thou Into the Joy of thy Lord, participate in his joy and ?hare with him in his pleasure, the same iind of Joy which our Lord himself 'eels. Leighton's words on this en:ering into the joy of the Lorfi are aeautiful: "It is but little we can receive here, some drops of joy that jnter into us, but there v/e shall enter nto joy, as vessels put into a sea of aappiness." The joy of the Lord lesus Christ, of which i*?e faithful, ike him, shall partake in some measure here, and in its fullness hereafter, IS tile joy Ul it ncc auuvii/ ill uuiug ight, like the joy of motion in health, Ike the song of a bird in the morning. Edward Everett Hale writing of George Washington says: "He was ilways subordinating himself to the iuty that was before him. He was sorn, as we saw, to small opportuni:ies; he made them great. He was iducated with camparatively small ldvantages; he made them the first j( advantages. He was brought up imong simple people. He learned imong the simple people the way in vhich to dictate to kings and to hanlle generals. You must let me reverently repeat the words of Scripture: He was faithful in a few things; he vas made ruler over many things.' Praise and Flattery. There is Just this difference between :he two degrees of praise and flattery ?that whereas the former heartens ip to brave, and ever braver endeavor, ;he latter checks self-culture and destroys future progress by making on9 relieve in attainment. According to :he flatterer, the goal has been won ind the great plateau of perfection reached; there are no more dreary llstances to traverse, no more rugged nountain sides to climb. All that is leeded is to enjoy what one has, and oe grateful and glad for what one is. MUUflHS The Rayo Lamp u There r.re lamps that coi IMP prioe.
