The Great Toilet Germicide?
You don't have to pay 50c or $1.00

with one 25c box of Paxtine,?a soluble
antiseptic powder, obtainable at
any drug store.
Paxtine destroys germs that cause
disease, decay and odors,?that is why
it is the best mouth wash and gargle,
and why it purifies the breath,
cleanses and preserves the teeth better
than ordinary dentifrices, and in
sponge bathing it completely eradi

fHE Fourth of July

This Is an eminently

natural, if not Inevitable, considering
the great and growing interest of
the whole American peoplo in feats
of skill that call for mental and muscular
agility. Moreover Its acceptance
as a day of sport is not confined
to the small towns on the one
hand, nor to the large cities on the
other, but is In actual fact universal

The importance of the event which
rms the subject of this lesson is
own by the fact that its history is
ven in three books of the Hible, and
obably referred to in another, ocpylng
seven or eight chapters, beles
the clay cylinder on which Sentcherib
made his own record.
It was a great crisis In Israel's hisry
like the exodus, and return from ;
ptivity, a signal landmark, to teach

Hezekiah. although the son of a bad
ther (but a good mother), began his
ign with a thorough and widespread
formation and revival of the true rejion,
even while the Assyrians were
vadlng the Northern Kingdom. He
eansed and repaired the temple, reored
the temple services, and proded
for the support of the Invites
id for popular religious instruction
om the books of the law, thus bringg
about a great uprising against
olatry.
The result was most happy. "Hezeah
had exceeding much riches and
mor." His kingdom was tranquil,
rong and wealthy. But one constant
inger threatened Judah?the growg
power of Assyria, whose overlordlip
Ahaz had acknowledged, against
le urgent protests of Isaiah.
In 701 R. C. the great invasion of
alestine was made by Sennacherib,
ith a double siege of Jerusalem,
fnnacherib sent an army demanding
ic surrender of Jerusalem. He may
rve felt that It was a mistake to
ave In his rear so powerful a fortiss,
while he had still to complete
ie overthrow of the Egyptians."
The Assyrians, coming near to the \
alls of the cltv and speaking through
abshakeh, the chief officer of Senicherib.
made the contest one hereon
Jehovah and the Assyrian Idols,
stween the true religion, the one
cans of redeeming the world, and
ezoklah, and Isaiah, and apparently
ie scribes and elders, clothed In
ickcloth, went into the temple and
rayed from their Inmost souls.
Note how afflictions lead to prayer,
ezekiah saw before him captivity,
ifferlng, probably death, the loss of
is kingdom, the extinction of his ,
tie, the exile of his people. Ilutabovo
II he saw the fall of true religion, !
ie dishonor of Hod's name, a relig us
and moral loss to the world. We i
lould pray for temporal blessings,
>r whatever wo need; but at the j
inie time we should never let the de- I
re for earthly things overshadow the
irgtr and nmre Important spiritual
itereRts; but rather, as In Hezekiah's
ise, the pressure of personal need
tiould make more intense the desire
)r tiod's cause and kingdom.
Then came a message from God
trough Isaiah. Hitherto Isaiah's mesr?ge
had been one of warning to
udah, in or.der to make them so obeiont
to God that the relief could
onto to them as a blessing. Now his
lessage concerns the Assyrians, but
lso shows Judah why God comes to
lelr help.
The wonderful deliverance came
hen the angel of the Ixjrd smote
f the Assyrians a hundred and four- |
core and Ave thousand. Just where
his occurred we do not know. Hut
ennacherib was marching toward
,'gypt. The deliverance was a delivranee
of Egypt as well as of Judah.
he scene may well have been near
,'gypt. Whether it was by a storm,
r pestilence, no one knows. It Is
etnarkable that the histories of both
is chief rivals in this campaign, Ju- I
ah and Egypt, should contain Inde
endent reminiscences of so sudden
nd miraculous a disaster to his host. !
From Egyptian sources there has I
ome down through Herodotus a story
hat a king of Egypt, being deserted
y the military caste, when Sennaherib,
king of the Arabs and Assy- |
lans invaded his country, entered ms
ancUiary and appealed with weeping
o his god; that the god appeared and
heered him; that he raised an army
if artisans and marched to meet Senincherib
In Peluslum; that by night
, multitude of field mice ate up the
luivers. bowstrings and shieldstrars
if the Assyrians; and that, as these
led on tiie morrow,' ver> many of
hem fell. A stone statue of the king,
tdds Herodotus, stood in the temple
>f Hephaestus, having a mouse In the
.and. Now, since the mouse was a
lymbol of sudden destruction, and
'ven of the plague, this story of
lerodotus seems to be merely a pieuresque
form of a tradition that pesti
ence broke out in the Assyrian camp.
There Is nothing In the Mible record
hat contradicts the belief that the
lisaster occurred in the neighborhood
>f Peluslum and the Serbonian hog in
jortheastern Kgypt. it was a plate
errihie for filth and miasma. A Persian
army was decimated here In
he middle of the fourth century lie
ore Christ. Napoleon's army barely
?sraj ed destruction here.
The amount of the Assyrian loss
was enormous, and implies of course
i much higher figure for the army
which was vast enough to suffer it;
uut here are some instances for com
parison. In the early Herman invasions
of Paly whole armies and camps
were swept away by the pestilential
Miniate. The losses of the first rrtt?tide
were over 300,000. The soldiers
>f the Third crusade, upon the Fcen"
;>f Sennacherib's war, were reckoned
fit more tlian nan .a minion, uimi men
losses by disease alone at over 100,000.
The grand army of Napoleon entered
Russia 250,000, but came out, having
suffered no derisive deffat, only 12,000;
on the retreat from Moscow
alone 00.000 perished. Rut It was under
God's control and It was his salvation
that saved Jerusalem.
The parallel with the Bible narrative
Is close. In both accounts It Is a
prayer of the king that prevails. In
both the deity sends his agent?In the
grotesque Egyptian an army of mice,
In the sublime Jewish his angel. In
both the effects are sudden, happening
In a single night.
From the Assyrian side we have
this corroboration: that King Sennacherib
did abruptly return to Nineveh
without taking Jerusalem or
meeting with Tlrbakah, and that,
though this Egyptian ruler reigned for
tw;nty years more, ho never again
mode a Syrian campaign.

HIRAM CARPENTER'S WONDER- i
FUL CURE OF PSORIASIS. |
"I have been afflicted for twenty I
years with an obstinate skin disease, I
called by some M. D.'s. psoriasis, and J
others leprosy, commencing on my
scalp; and In spite of all I could do,
with the help of the most skilful doctors,
It slowly but surely extended until
a year ago this winter It covered
my entire person In the form of dry
scales. For the last three years I have
been unable to do any labor, and (
suffering Intensely all the time. Every t
morning there would be nearly a dust- !
panful of 6cales taken from the sheet
on my bed, some of them naif as large
as the envelope containing this letter.
In the latter part of winter my skin .
commenced cracking open. I tried ^
everything, al-nost, that could be
thought of, without any relief. The
12th of June I started West, In hopes
I could reach the Hot Springs. I
reached Detroit and was so low I
thought I should have to go to the I
hospital, but finally got as far as Lan- i
Bing, Mich., where I had a sister llv- 1
lug. One Dr. treated mo about
two weeks, but did ine no good. All
thought I had but a short time to live.
I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked
through the skin all over my back,
across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs;
feet badly swollen; toe-nails came off;
finger-nails dead and hard as a bone;
hair dead, dry and lifeless as old
straw. 0 my God! how I did sufTer.
"My sister wouldn't give up; said,
'We will try Cutlcura.' Some was applied
to one hand and arm. Eureka!
there was relief; stopped the terrible
burning sensation from the word go.
They Immediately got Cutlcura Rosolvent,
Ointment and Soap. I com

three times a day after meals; had a
bath once a day, water about blood
heat; used Cutlcura Soap freely; applied
Cutlcura Ointment morning and
evening. Result: returned to my
homo In Just six weeks from tho time
I left, and my skin as smooth as this
sheet of paper. Hiram E. Carpenter,
Henderson, N. Y."
Tho above remarkable testimonial
was written January 19, 1880, and is
republished because of the permanency
of the cure. Under date of April
22, 1910, Mr. Carpenter wrote from his
present home, 610 Walnut St. So.,
Lansing, Mich.: "I have never suffered
a return of tho psoriasis and although
many years have passed I have
not forgotten the terrible suffering I
endured before using tho Cutlcura
Remedies."
Explanation.
"Thnt bride across tho way Is the
laziest woman I ever a v.*. She never
does any work about the house."
"Why doesn't her husband muke
her?"
"Oh, lie simply worships her."
"That accounts, then, for her lending
an idol existence."
