J SALTS IF BACKACHY OR KIDNEYS TROUBLE YOU Eat Less Meat If Your Kidneys Arent i Acting Right or If Back Hurts or ' Bladder Bothers You. When yon wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been bating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric add which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night Either consult a good, reliable physician at once or get from your pharmacist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with llthia, and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot Injure and makes a delightful, effervescent litfiia-water drink.?Adv. The Sleepy Plact.

GOLDEN TEXT-Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.?Zech. 4:6, R. V. This was the period of Israel's transition from a nomadic to an agricultural life. The record we have is jm alternate succession ef idolatry and subjugation with a return to Jehovah and to liberty. I.- "Gideon and All tba People," yv. 1-8. Rallying about him his clansmen Gideon chose a position at the spring of Harod near Jezreel, his back to Mt Gilboa and the Midianltes to the north next to Mt Moreh. He thuf^ controlled the fords of the Jordan and could prevent the enemy from retufning to their homes In the desert country. Outwardly the great discrepancy of numbers made the situation look dubious for Israel, but in reality the danger was that the army was too large, since when the. victory was gained they might "vaunt themselves." Tn^irMnola r%r>A ntitlii/illDa llftllflllv auui t tuuuig . uuu vuutvuww count their strength according to numr bers. (See n Cor. 12:9.) If we desire God'8 strength it most be as we ourselves are weak (Isa.40:29). God is sometimes limited by. having too many and not enough of the right sort When God delivers he leaves no room for hoaatlhg (Eph. 2:8, 9; Rom. 3:27). God can save as well by the few as by the many (I Samuel 14:,6), and frequently uses the weak and despised things to confound this mfrhty (I Cot. 1:27-, 28), that "no flesh s'.^uld gloiy in his presence" (I Cor. i:29J. These j were two' tests, whereby Gideon was to select 'his warriors: (1).' "Go to, 1 - - ' W ' . ? ' proclaim ... whosoever is iearciu . let blmreturn" (v. 3). It is I not well to-<crltlclse too severely the 122,000 who returned; even in the Oarden not only Peter, but all the disclpleaforsook the Master and fled. God does not choose men because they are heroes, but to make heroes of th'em l>y the power of his might. (2) There Is yet another sifting, God gives, Gideon the clue (v. 4), viz., to,decide by their method of drinking; Those who drank "as a dog lappeth," were those not to be taken off guard even While drinking. An ox glues his eyes uppn thef water and is oblivious 'to all else, not so a dog. God cares more fbir Quality than for Quantity and there were too manjj cowards, too miny who thought most of self-comfort, to allow them to- enter this battle. ; It was also a strange equipment God l gave this army. All they took was I food and trumpets (v. -8). The allessential things for the followers of ! Christ are the word .of God for food :.(I Pet. 2:2) and the voice,of prayer for a trumpet (Nam. 10:9, 10; II Chron. 13:14; Rev. 42:in. I!. Gideon's Second Assurance, vv. 9-15. It was aflsurd, humanly speaking, for 300 men to expect to defeat 136,000*.,. God "strengthened" Gideon (y. 11). Gideon and Pfennig, at God's command, ente^ the valley and drew near the MidJanite host Avoiding the guard, If any, they drew near enoiigh to hear a man telling his dream, to "his fellow." The latter interprets this as nothing else than the "sword of Gideon" (v. 14). Gideon worshiped God and at once returned to arouse the camp of Israel. i:1 Ilk The (iword ofvthe. Lord-and of Gideon, w. 16-23. In -fell probability these men wore their, usual weapons as soldiers and carried food-for their Uge in pursuing the enemy. However, for this midnight-attack they- needed only, three weapons, lamps, pitchers and trumpets,. Each of these have a spiritual suggestion for the Christian. (See Matt. 25:4; Ps. 119:105; also n Cor. 4 f 6. "7, and Bzek. 33:3, 6; I. Cor. 14:8.) Gideon's stratagem of dividing hia men into three companies and then as the pitchers are broken to blow tbe trumpet caused a lively panic among the Midlanltes. That Gideon had faith and courage in himself, and ta the word of Jehovah, is suggested tn his words, "Look on. me and do likewise." We are to look to the "captaih of our salvation*' (Heb. 13:2) and by our lives of obedience prove the devotion of' our life {John 15:14, 14:21). As already suggested, there were probably no defenses surrounding the enemy and in the darkness Gideon and his men easily approached the camp. It is easy to imagine the scene?the midnight hour, the army suddenly awakened by. a deafening shout, the blasts of trumpets, the 300 torches flashing forth amid the crash of earthenware, and all of this in dense darkness. The Midlanltes in the confusion turned their weapons against each other and fled toward the Jordan and Into the regions beyond toward the desert. Others fol lowed by tbe ten thousand, fleeing toward. Succoth and Penuel. Wo of this day have our wars and battle* against the wrongs, the principalities and powers of evil, which are around us and within us. Such battles require the same courage, and skill, sd4 consecration of ourselves, as did the wars of those ancients against the enemies that threatened the very existence of the people of God. (See Bph. 6:10-18; I Tim. 6:12.) The trumpets were a call to God and a type of prayer; the pitchers (earthen vessels) a type of our frail bodies In wh'ch we have the treasure of tau gospel truth (2 Cor. 4:6, 7, Watt. 5:16). uur DusinesB is co diow long and loud the trumpet and hold forth the light, which' 18 the Word (Phil. 2:1G), and being broken ourselves (John 12:24, Gal. 2:20 R. V.). expect to see the enemies of God overthrown. As every man stood in his appointed place (v. 21), God did the fighting and brought confusion to the enemy (r. M). . IS CHILD CROS| Look, Mother!
