Flooding and Cramping! STELLA-VITAE STOPPED IT! This has a world of meaning to every woman who suffers as Mrs. J. S. Blair, of Enter prise, Okla., suffered and there are many thousands such. Mrs. Blair tells the story of her suf. fering and cure much better than w? can tell it. We quote her own word* "I bad been flooding, cramping and vomiting for five months and taking medicine from as good a doctor as the country affords, bat he did me no good. I got tired of doctor's medicine and sent to the drag store for a woman's medi cine and the druggist sent me STELLA V1TAJK. "One bottle stopped everything and I felt like a different woman. I have used six bottles already and will continue to use and praise STELLA VITAE whenever I need a woman's medicine." What STELLA-V1TAE did for Mra. Blair it will do for you. We guar antee the first bottle to benefit you. Your money back if it don't. You cannot afford to not try it?when you have all to gain and not a penny to lose. Go to your dealer today and begin trying STELLA-VITAE, trying to become well. We lose the price if you are not benefited.

INEXPENSIVE SULPHUR BATHS ' AT HOME People travel long distances and spend large sums of money to secure the benefits of sulphur springs and baths because for generations sulphur has been known to be one of nature's most valuable curatives unequalled as a blood purifier. By dissolving 2 to 4 tablespoonfuls of Hancock's Sulphur Compound in a hot bath you get the same effect and your system absorbs the sulphur through the pores of the skin. For prickly heat and summer skin troubles of infants and children use a teaspoonful of the Sulphur Com pound In a bowl of warm water. This makes a refreshing bath and quickly alleviates the pain.

Chauncey M. Depew, reviewing his eightieth birthday, says: "I have found the best insurance policy is the ability to say no. Many of my friends have died before their time because they could not resist the asperities which destroyed them. Abstinence is hard at first, requires will power and self-de nial, but abstinence soon conquers de sire. Ever after is the joy of victory and confidence in that mainspring of life?the will. "Horace Greeley once said to me after the payment of notes he had in dorsed had swet away years of sav ings. 'Chauncey, I want you to have a law passed making it a felony, pun ishable with life imprisonment, for a man to put his name on the back of another man's paper.' As I lament about one-quarter of my earnings gone that way because of my inability to say no, and without any benefit to my friends, I sympathize with Mr. Gree ley." A Speculative One.

Farmer and % By MATTHEW (Copyright, 1914, Weste I (Courtesy of F. W. Wozencraft.) Inspection of a Da WHY CO-OPERATION i Copenhagen, Denmark. ? Co-opera- ' tlon is not foolproof, consequently It does not always succeed. Inexperi- i ence, incompetence, and dishonesty will wreck any private business and they will, of course, wreck any co operative business. It is necessary therefore, for enthusiasts to remem ber that there iB no mystic virtue in co-operation which enables It to tri umph at all times. Those of us who are trying to record what we have seen of co-operative business at home and In Europe, would not be treating the public fairly if we left the im pression that there are no failures among co-operative enterprises. Both at home and abroad there have been many failures. Certainly those Interested are entitled to know as much about its failures as about its successes. They are entitled to know also what causes have led to co-opera tive failure. Failures in America. Many co-operative stores organized with much promise have failed. Gen erally speaking gross incompetence has wrecked them. They are like other mercantile establishments in that they demand, as a condition precedent to success, skilled manage ment good business metnodB, gooa ac counting, cautious extension of credit, as well as some special knowledge of the goods dealt in. If these qualities are absent failure is inevitable. As )the average co-operative store in ' America is organized itB members are seldom bound by any agreement to do all their trading at the co-operative concern. They patronize it when it is to their interest so to do. If the goods ofTered are poor, or if bad manage ment advances the price unduly, or if frequent minor mistakes occur, the members abandon the venture like a sinking ship. As I have said, co-operative stores in order to succeed must have skilled management, good business methods, 1 good accounting systems, and must ex tend credit cautiously, all in addition to the special knowledge essential in every such enterprise. So far as I can discover, however, the stores which have failed have not only lacked one or two of these essentials of success but they seem often to have lacked all of them. More than once it has hap- < pened that a co-operative store com pany is formed because some store keeper has lost all his money in an unsuccessful mercantile venture and can secure capital for a new venture only in this way. Sometimes an am bitious farmer has organized a com pany in order that a son who has been away to business college and feels above farming may have a chance to earn a living without working upon the farm. It Is characteristic also of co-operative American stores?and of other co-operatiTe concerns in Ameri ca also?that they have seldom been willing to pay a salary sufficient to secure men of experience and skill as managers. ? When a co-operative 6tore managed by a man who'has a history of noth ing but business failures behind him, or by a youthful and Inexperienced business college graduate, or by any other man of the low grade Implied in the low salaries paid, comes into com petition with a competent, up-to-date, American storekeeper of the aggres sive vigorous type often found in even the smaller towns, the mere word "co operative" upon the sign in front of the store is not going to avert failure. It isn't fair to expect too much of co operation. Co-operative Fruit Failures. Seldom, too, have so-called Ameri can co-operative companies been co operative in the true sense of the word. I have in mind one co-operative fruit marketing society which failed largely because it was organized on the Joint stock basi3 and administered as are other non-co-operative corpora tions. A few of the larger sharehold ers controlled it. The interests of the minority were ignored. They became jealous and suspicious and accused l tnose in control or aisnonesiy. nuaujr they demanded that the officers give a full report of all their financial transactions and that an auditing com mittee be appointed. The officers fool ishly and arbitrarily refused to con cede even an audit unless they them selves selected the committee. Then these smaller storekeepers demanded that the one man vote principle be appl'ed so that for the future they might protect their own interests. This also was denied them. The only course possible seemed to be a separa tion and the smaller stockholders withdrew, tho larger stockholders buying out those who did not care to stay in the concern. While this socie ty did not fail from a financial stand point. its record is of course to be :ive Farm Marketing ope and May Be Done 2 Profit of Both Consumer S. DUDGEON. rn Newspaper Union. > * - nlsh Creamery. f SOMETIMES FA'LS cited as that of a co-operative concern which did not succeed in the best sense of the tern?. The small shareholders of this so ciety later formed another co-opera tive society, organizing and adminis tering it, you may be sure, upon a purely co-operative basis, adopting the one man vote plan, and providing that no dividends be declared upon shares but that all the profits go to those who grew the fruit in proportion to the amount furnished to thhe company by each. Greed Causes Another Failure. The experience of a Minnesota co operative warehouse elevator was sojaewhat different. As originally or ganized and managed by the farmers it was a success, all the profits were distributed back to the producers as an additional price upon the grain de livered and the farmers loyally sup ported it. Later, however, the shares of stock became centered in a' few business men who (were not grain growers. These men held a major ity of the stock and were in full control. They began squeezing down the prices to the producer until they were paying him no more than the privately owned elevator companies paid. The trustful farmers continued to deliver {heir grain for a time and the business men in control received a forty per cent dividend. At the end of the year, however, the farmers real ized that they were being imposed upon and the next year abandoned the project, and hauled their grain else where. As a result this co-operative effort which had been at first an ex ceedingly profitable venture became bo absolute a failure that it was with difficulty that the shareholders dis posed of their building and equipment. What Unfair Competition Will Do. In another section of the Northwest the farmers a short time ago were re ceiving from four to eight cents below the Minneapolis market for all grain delivered. Moreover they could get no more for the finest grain than for the low grade. The grain was han died by a line of fifteen or twenty pri vately owned warehouses operated by a company which had practically a monopoly of the grain buying business over a considerable extent of territory. The farmers at one shipping point be came dissatisfied, organized a co-oper ative company, got together a little capital, and built an elevator. Immed iately the old company offered those delivering grain at that one point Minneapolis prices for their grain while at other shipping points the prices remained the same. Prices were repeatedly advanced until they were so high that it was evident that the privately owned elevator com panies were taking a loss, recouping themselves, however, by continuing to pay unreasonably low prices at the other shipping points at which were owned by them. The farmers had entered into no contract to furnish their product exclusively in the co operative warehouse. Each individual member exercised his right to sell his grain to the rival concern. The co operative warehouse was deserted, the company had no business, and soon disbanded. The sequel was, however, that as soon as the co-operative con cern failed the privately owned eleva tors again dropped the price paid at that point for grain and the farmers were again at their mercy. European Failures. There have been failures in Eurcv pean co-operation also. You cannot talk co-operation in Germany long with anyone familiar with the general situation without having your atten tion called to the fact that co-opera tion has received one black eye. Years ago the government, anxious to aid in the marketing of grain, devoted a considerable amount of money to the erection of elevators or "corn houses," loaning the money to local co-opera tive concerns whose organization it fostered and supervising the erection in each case of a rather imposing structure. It would 9eem that the government generously tempted the promoters to unreasoning extrava gance. "How could you expect our people to calculate closely when they had this heap of unearned money forced upon them?" one man re marked. Everything was done on a costly scale. The storehouses were too big. They were not carefully lo cated. Into these concerns crept, also a desire to speculate, to corner the grain supply, to do in Germany what Loiter was reported to have done in America,?to capture the grain mar ket. Everyone persuaded himself, it Is said, that he was going to grow rich by appropriating by degrees the wealth thus to be gained. -They had -? i; ' beard that there were great corners in the United States, and by buying and storing grain men had made enor mous fortunes. There was to be gold for everyone who wanted it. A careful study of the situation has revealed the absurdity of the situation. Those who controlled the warehouses could not control to exceed one-twentieth of the supply of grain grown in Germany alone. The general concensus of German opinion seems to have been that two causes contributed to the failure; first, state aid, which seldom really helps a co-operative society, ruined these projects by encouraging the construc tion of warehouses which were either not needed or which were bigger than needed; second, the members sought to make money out of them instead of using them simply to prevent waste in snipping. Bank at NIeder Mabau. In 1874 at a German village of some 620 inhabitants local tradesmen formed a loan and savings bank. From the very first they forgot that co-oper ative credit banks are primarily formed to lend money only to those lo cal members who will use it for lo cal purposes. They were too anxious to get rich quick. By a promise of ex ceedingly high rates of interest they attracted patrons from the most re mote points until there was on de posit in this little village co-operative bank almost $1,000,000. Such an amount of money was of course far in excess of any needB which the mem bers themselves might have as bor rowers. Consequently the bank be gan to do business with outsiders. Funds were so plentiful and the de mands relatively so small that it grant ed to its debtors extensive credits. It became known that credit could easily be obtained at that village bank and speculators iar ana near nocsea 10 it. It risked Its money in financial schemes outside the limits of the vil lage. It loaned to speculators who were dealers in vacant lots in other cities which had only speculative values. It we^it so far as to make loans upon second mortgages,. and even on third mortgages. The cashier, who had no particular fitness for the position, also had charge of church funds and other public funds. Besides this, he was conduct ing a large business in a hotel. There seems to have been no one on the board of managers of any particular business judgment or ability. Even integrity was not present, for the cash ier ended his year with forgery and was sent to prison. It was not sur prising, therefore, that' in December, 1911, the Nieder Mabau Loans and Savings bank was declared insolvent, the natural results of undue greed, of the spirit of speculation, of incompe tence, and of dishonesty. Co-operative Bank at Darmtteti. More recently the co-operative ag ricultural bank at Darmsted, formed in 1882, reached a point where it was unable to meet its obligations. Its situation was almost the same as that of the Nieder Mabau bank, al though it operated upon a much larger scale. In connection with this bank there was also either gross incompe tency or dishonesty. In one case, for example, over a million dollars was invested in a mine uuti couiu uut uw worked. Other equally hazardous en terprises were financed by this con cern contrary to all principles of co operative credit and equally contrary to all rules of sound finance. "Co operative banks are not foolproof," and of .course the co-operative bank at Darmsted failed. Co-operation may fail even In Den mark, the country in all Europe most completely organized for rural busi ness. , There a brilliant public man got in the good graces of those inter ested in co-operation and promoted a scheme for uniting many co-operative societies in one big concern. Here there was not so much incompetence as dishonesty, and the venture ended in financial failure for the members? and in imprisonment for the dishon est promoter. Causes of Failures In America. Co-operative failures so far as Amer ica is concerned are traceable large ly to these causes: In the first place it has always been difficult for the American to compre nena me raci mat co-operative con cerns are not money making, divi dend declaring, profit producing con cerns. They do not seem to realize that the sole excuse for the existence of the co-operative organization as a middleman is in order that a middle man's function may be performed without waste and without profit. In the second place the spirit of the American farmer is not sufficient ly unselfish. He has been operating for so long on the competitive basis that it is difficult for him to acquire a spirit of unselfish loyalty to the spirit of the organization to which he belongs. If an opportunity presents it self under which he can net a profit by abandoning the co-operative soci ety and dealing with a private dealer, he embraces it at once, without realiz ing that in the end this will ruin hiB co-operative concern and leave him in the hands of the privately owned dealer who has been for generations working him for large profits. In the third place, practically all the American concerns which have failed have been organized on the joint stock plan. With the voting power distributed In proportion to the cap ital invested it has often occurred that the interests of those who were in ^nntrnl of the majority of the stock were antagonistic to the interests of the smaller stockholders, who con tributed to the success by bringing in a large part of the p oduce handled by the concern. As a result the pol icy of the co-operative concern has often ignored the interests of the producer if the concern was a market ing one, or the interests of the dis tributee if the concern was a distrib uting organization. In the fourth place, the American farmers have not yet had a sufficiently far-seeing vision to realize that it often pays to invest a considerable salary in a skilled maanger. They hesitate to pay a salary which would demand the attention of anyone who* had suffi cient experience and skill successfully to manage the business. As a result, co-operation has suffered from ignor ance and mismanagement. '\fy. Mdotional SlINMSOIOOL Lesson By O. E. SELLERS, Director of Even ing Department The Moody Bible Insti tute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR JUNE 7 COMING OF THE KINGDOM. LESSON TEXT-Luke 17:20-37. GOLDEN TEXT?"Lo, the Kingdom of Sod Is within you." Luke 17:21. I. The Kingdom Present, w. 20, 21. The Pharisees held some peculiar ideas about the coming of the king iom. Contrary to their ideaa there ire no special outward signs to herald Its coming. The word "observation" rr OA In ft flf Am IrtO 1 ATIO Q T"1 fill fXm ' ?d\Jt is au aouuuuuiivut vuu wuu ~ ? o jests that the kingdom was to come In a bodily shape from the sky, a cur rent expectation on the part of the Pharisees. In answer to the boastful Pharisees (v. 20) Jesus plainly told them that he himself Is the kingdom, and that that kingdom was In their midst or "among you," see (v. 21) margin. Their question was a flippant one, one of unbelief, and to It Jesus makes a characteristically brief, but clear re ply, that partook of the nature of a rebuke. The kingdom would not come with trumpets and drum. They could not say, "Lo here! lo there!" Its coming was not to be spectacular, arresting the attention of some who In tarn brought It to the attention of others. The authorized rendering "within you" does not imply that the kingdom already existed in the, indi vidual lives of his questioners. Sub sequent teaching of Jesus shows that ae here refers to anotner ana a nuai :oming of the kingdom, at the time of ihe final coming of the son of man. II. The Vlslbfe Son of Man, vv. E2-24. The kingdom In Its outward form was rejected by the Jews, John 1:26, 27. In Its spiritual form It is now In the hearts of believers (Rom. 14:17), but he who was rejected with contempt will one day be sought after, though in vain, Matt 23:37-39. Dur ing the time of his absence many shall claim , to be Christ (V. 23), but we are not to believe such claims. His tory has abundantly proved and ful fllled this prophecy. When he really comes there will be a sudden publicity (v. 24), that shall flash from one cor ner to the other of the heavens, Matt. 24:27; then "every eye shall behold him." "So shall the son of man be In his day." This Instruction Jesus gives to his disciples. Men shall Bearch for him, a time when he shall not be present as he then was. After the false ones will come a day of revelation when the whole heavens wHll rovonl Mm anil all will know It. / Finality of Events. III. The Day of the Son of Man, vv. 25-37. Before that, day comes, how ever, he must suffer and be rejected, but following that rejection men will marry, carry on merchandising and merriment as In the days of Noali and those of Lot. In the days of Noah and of Lot there came a sudden halt In these activities and a judgment of flood and Are, even so "after the same manner shall it be in the day that the son of man Is revealed," v. 30. This refers to the finality of events when the kingdom of God comes by way of Judgment Here Jesus sets his seal upon the truthfulness of these two events which preceded his first ad vent. If they be not true then he Is a false teacher. Like as men dis credit those events they likewise would set aside his teaching about his sec ond advent. Many claim that verse 31 refers to the destruction of Jeru salem; the context to us clearly dis proves any such interpretation. Verses 32 and 33 must be taken to gether. The folly of Lot's wife turn ing back is all too apparent, but if we are to gain true life we must lose, turn our backs upon, a worldly life. Attention has been called to the fact that the word "lose" (v. 33) is ?he one ordinarily translated "destroy," proving that the Bible word "destruc tion" does not mean annihilation. We might well call verses 34 and 35 the account of a "silent migration." At his first return there will be some strange separations. One taken, an other left Such separations often have been realized when men accept Christ; when Christians find them selves separated from their old com panions, for his sake, but most of all 'twill be when Christ shall burst upon the world at his second coming. Jesus' reference to the "body" (v. 37) means the dead and corrupt Btate of things and "the eagles" to the instruments of Judgment. Summary. Quite emphatically thie passage Is a teaching on the subjecl of the coming of the kingdom of God. That kingdom came when Christ came in grace. It will come when he comes In Judgment. It is coming constantly between the two advents. Remember his reading of Isaiah's prophecy, Luke 4:18, 19; cf. Isa. 61:1-9.,' In his first advent he did come to preach the ac ceptable year, the year of grace. Thai day is still with us. In his second advent he will proclaim the day of the vengeance of God. He will establish the kingdom, will build the waste places and raise desolations. Today the kingdom of God is among us in power through the presence of Christ by the spirit in the living church. To the Pharisees he said: "Neither shall they say, lo here! lo there! foi the kingdom is in your midst." To his disciples he said: "They shall say lo there! lo here! go not away nor follow them." We cannot localize the kingdom. On an ancient Syrian frag ment the words of Luke 1:33 read, "and to his kingdom there shall be no frontier." On the lips of the Phari sees, kingdom meant a political or ganization and empire. With Jesus it means a spiritual realm universal in extent, a rule of righteousness, and peace and joy in the holy spirit. When he appears nil will know and know that others know. When men say that the kingdom of God is to be somewhere, and suddenly and perfect ly set up, they are wrong.
