Tuberculosis Day In October.
Churches and religious societies, t
the number of at least 100,000, wll
be urged to give special attention to |
the prevention of tuberculosis on Sun- j
day. October 27. or on some day dun
Ing the week preceding or the week
following that date. This season has
been set apart and designated as the
Third National Tuberculosis Day by
the National Association for the Study | J
and Prevention of Tuberculosis. Tuberculosis
Day was originally set on
April 28, but was postponed because |
of a conflict with Conservation Sun
day of the Men and Religion Forward
Movement, which wsb held on that
date. The observation of Tuberculosis
Day in the fall this jear will be utl- 1
utilized by anti-tuberculosis workers
only for the general education of
churchgoers on consumption, but also
for the purpose of interesting them in
the sale of Red Cross Christmas
Seals.

"But, father." Caroline protested,
"surely this Is not a part o?* the
estate, this?this cemetery!"
Col. Darling nodded hi3 head. "Yes.
daughter, it is. I purchased the old
Craft farm, as it was called, without
ever having gone over the 200-odd
acres of its extent. The old homestead
has so excellent a site overlooking
the water that I took the
acres I could not see pretty much for
granted.
Father and daughter stood in the
arch made from the branches of two
ancient hemlock trees that formed a
gateway to a small and apparently
abandoned cemetery. Here and there,
covered with myrtle vines and creeping
wild ivy, were tombstones gray
with age. ?The little plot gave eviflence
of having been, in days gone
by, carefully kept, but now it was so |
overgrown with trees and shrubs as
to be almost hidden. Thus, it was
little wonder that Col. Darling had
overlooked it when he purchased the
property of which it was a part.
"I'm quite sure I shall never enjoy
rambling in the graunds as I had
dreamed of doing." Caroline lamented.
"Tut, but, daughter, ihat is all nonsense!"
"Nonsense to you, perhaps, because
you're?well, you're cot given to
moonlight wanderings. Now?a girl
Is, and I shall feel every time I step
out of the house at night that I am
being watched by ghosts who ba\w?
strayed from beneath these stones.
Oh, father, do let us go!" Caroline
begged, slipping her arm within her
father's and leading him away.
"I ooubt you could even find tblp
spot again if I were to take you by a
roundabout circuit to the housa, my
dear," soothed the colonel. "So?in
you: own language, more shame to
you! forget it."
And, since youth easily forgets,
Caroline did forget the wee, abandoned
burying ground tucked down
among the hemlocks in a remote acre
of her father's estate. It was seldom
ihat 6he traversed more than the
half dozen acres which comprised
gardens and playgrounds of the old
!arm.
But if the young woman of the
house made slight use of the country
surrounding the old homestead, she

"Oh, Father, Do Let Us Go!"
made tb? great, old-fashioned rooms
of the manor house ring with Joyous
laughter and echo the voices of
merry young people. House party followed
house party, and Caroline was
beginning to think that her father
had not done her such an injustice
after all in taking her from the gay
life of the city to plant her in the
midst of a 200-acre farm. Never before
had she realized the joy of being
mistress of a real home and at liberty
to extend unlimited hospitality. For.
when Col. Darling had induced his
motherless girl to comply with the
desire of his own life to have, a home
In the country, he had promised her
that she should have all the companionship
she wanted, even if It be
a continual round of entertaining.
The end of May was upon them,
and Caroline was the center of a
happy grouo of friends from the city.
They .had been asked as guests over
Decoration day and had planned the
time-honored picnic of that day.
"It seems too good to be true,"
cried one of the girls, "to think we
are going on a real picnic on Memorial
day."
"Just as all tl.e country lads and
lassies do back in good old Iowa
where I was a child." added a young
man with more than half seriousness
In his expression.
"All we can do to make It presactly
real," laughed another pretty
girl, "is to go to some graveyard and
Sunerstition
erench People Surprised at the Survival
of Dangerous Customs
in Brittany.
Every few years some incident occurs
to remind a civilized nation of the
survival of the grossest superstitions
in its midst. French opinion is at
present shocked by a recent revelation
at St. Malo, which has resulted
in the arrest of a dormouse. The
dormouse is peculiar to Brittany. She
is a woman who claims a mysterious
power to heal disease by certain
charms and treatments, pre-eminently
by inducing artificial sleep.
A St. Malo workman was suffering
from meningitis, and under ordinary
medical treatment, when a woman. Delanoe.
a renowned dormeuse, was
called in. She arrived with her husband.
and sent for a milk white
pigeon While the man put the patient
into a trance the woman cut
the live pigeon in half and placed the
, warm flesh on his forehead. This was
sit on the freshly decorated mounds ' ,
and eat our lunches!"
Caroline's eyes suddenly flashed '
and she jumped to her feet.
"Girls and bojs!" she cried, excitedly,
"we can do that very tame
thing! And let'B do it!"
"What?" chorused the others.
"Eat our lunch in the dearest little (
cemetery you ever saw," Caroline explained
more seriously. "In this
very farm there lies a small abandoned
graveyard and you can't imagine
how picturesque it is. I'll take a
bunch of lilacs to put on each of the ,
old giaves that has been forgotten
since?oh, since before any of us was
born," she said.
Memorial day dawned as a perfect
May day should dawn, and Caroline
was down on the broad old colonial
porch In her fresh white frock long
before the others were out of their
beds. She sat beside her father, rocking
tack and forth in the balmy
morning air and looking out across
the velvet of the lawns. The fragrance
of apple blossoms was all 1
about them, for the breezes came to 1 i
them across the orchard. i
Presently around the turn of the ' i
winding gravel path that led to the i
main entrance of the farm there 1
came a young man. He walked brisk- ;
ly, and yet there was an expression ,
of uncertainty in his carriage.
As he approached the two he took
off his straw hat and addressed Col.
Darling.
"Is this the old Craft farm?the
Lorado Craft farm?" he asked.
" it 18, iue cuiuuei ouonccu. .
havti recently bought It. What can
I do for you, nlr?"
The young man smiled. "I am
looking for the grave of my greatgrandfather,
and f was told that It
was In a small cemetery that was
believed to be In the Craft property."
"Oh, father " began Caroline.
"It is," Interrupted the colonel.
"At least there Is such a place souxahere
hereabout."
"I know exactly where It Is, father,"
suggested Caroline.
"Then you might try to tell us,"
the father replied. "Better than that,
daughter, you might come with this
young man and me and we will sea
if we can aid him In his search."
As the three sought the hemlock
grove the young man told them of hla
reason for seeking so remote a grave.
His grandmother, recently deceased,
had begged It of him as a final request
that he find the burying placa
of her father and care for It. Shi
herself had been unable to do so, and |
after much effort the young man hud
traced It to the Craft estate.
They found the old flat stone wlti ;
the carved letters telling of how onl
Georee Alexander John Carstone had ;
lived and died, etc.
"And do you bear one of th*
names?" asked the colonel.
"I am John Carter?I beg your pardon
for not having Introduced myself
at once," the young man hastily r&
plied, extending a card to Col. Da>
ling.
"Not so lengthy a name as you*
great-granddaddy's, eh?"
Caroline laughed at her father** 1
facetlousness with a stranger, and ydt
?In her Innermost self?she was Bur*
the man would not always be A
stranger. Already her father ws* I
saying:
"If you will, our house Is yours an* |.
you can remain through the day wltfl
us and return to this spot and care
properly for the resting place of you*
ancestor, Eh, Caroline?"
"Yes, lndoed, father."
The three returned to breakfast*
and Caroline had misgivings as to
the picnic, now that the young maA
had come on a serious errand.
He put her at ease in a mornenj,
"What better care than the visitation
of a merry party of young folk* i
could my good grandmother have
asked? I'll Join you. If I may."
And that Memorial day picnic beneath
the hemlocks was a day to be
remembered by Caroline Darling, for
It was in the cool, quiet shadows
there that she first saw Into the
rierith at the eves of the man who
was to become her husband.
When O'Connelt Refused to Fight.
There were all sort* of ways of getting
out of a duel formerly as well as
of getting Into one. N. P. Willis
records a conversation with Moore at
Lady Plesslngton's, In which Moore
defended duelling as "the great preserver
of the decencies of society."
He was condemning O'Connell for not
meeting Peel. O'Connell pleaded his
wife's Illness and delayed until the
law Interfered. Some other Irish par
trlot, about the same tlm refused a
challenge on account of the illness of
his daughter, and a Dublin wit made
a good epigram on the two:
Some men, with a horror of slaughter,
Improve on the Scripture command;
And honor their wife and their daughter,
That their days may be long In the
land.

Coroner Was Correct.
Coroner Durham, Is examining the
efTects of a man who committed suicide
a day or two ago, hastily removed
a large number of printed cards from
the pockets of his clothing. Without
examining the cards the coroner continued
with his search, remarking:
"He's been working for some candidate."
Someone turned one of the cards
and read: "Vote for C. O. Durham
for coroner."?Indianapolis News.
A Tub Secret.
Filling the bath tub sometlmet
makes more noise than we like, especially
late at night or early In the
morning. To prevent noise, attach a
piece of rubber hose to the faucet
long enough to reach to the bottom of
the tub. There will be no noise or
spattering of water.
Hard to Kill
followed by bathing the sick man's
feet in some serret liquid and covering
his head with a cloth that had
been soaked In It. As a result of the
treatment the workman died in a day.
The dormeuse has been arrested,
and a comprehensive inquiry Is to be
made into the superstitious practices
of Brittany. It will, however, need
more than an inquiry to shake the beliefs
of the most superstitious and conservative
corner of France.
A Safe Rule.
Tea and coffee should not be given
to a child under seven, and the longer
the delay the better. A good cocoa 1%
often enjoyed, milk and water and diluted
condensed milk may also be glr- i
en, and. very cautiously, plain soda
water. It should never be forgotten '
i that milk Is a food and not a drink,
and that plenty of water flushes the
kidneys. There Is no reason why n
healthy child should not drink when
i it feels thirst/.

New York.?Mr. Arnold Bennett's
abservations are always amusing
reading; especially to thoBe who do
not Insist the humor shall be hampered

a good sized kernel of truth hidden
under Mr. Bennett'B extravagance anyway.
So Americans will be interested
as well as amused in reading whai
the English novelist has to say concerning
business men and the telephone
habit as he observed these
phenomena during his recent visit to
the United States.
"The rough broad difference between
the American and the European
business man," according to Mr.
Bennett, "is that the latter is anxious
to leave his work, while the former is
anxious to get to it. The attitude of
the American business man toward
his business is preeminently the attitude
of an artist.
"You may say that he loves money.
So do we all?artists particularly.
No stock broker's private Journal
could be more full of dollars than
Balzac's Intimate correspondence is
full of francs. But vtiereas the ordinary
artist loves money chiefly because
It presents luxury, the American
business man loves it chiefly because
it is the sole proof of success
in his endeavor.
"He loves his business. It is not
his toil but his hobby, passion, vice,

as some natures need alcohol.
He cannot do without them.
"On no other hypothesis can the
unrivaled Ingenuity and splendor and
ruthlessness of American business undertakings
be satisfactorily explained.
They surpass the European simply
because they are never out of the
thoughts of their directors.
Lime In Some Form Will Benefit Soli.
Washington, D. C.?An investiga

Southern Railway System has shown
that experts In the chemistry of soils
are unanimously of the opinion that
lime in some form will benefit many
of the soils of the Southeastern States
by correcting their acidity and improving
their mechanical condition.
President Finley has secured the
opinions of experts throughout the
Southeastern States and also in the
Eastern and Middle States, in some
of which experiments with the use of
lime have been carried on for a long
series of years. These opinions have

Result of the Primary.
It had been a hard day at the polls.
The addition of nearly a thousand

LESSON FOR AUGUST 4.
THE WORTH OF THE KINGDOM.:
LESSON TEXT-Matthew 13. 44-63.
GOLDEN TEXT?"Seek ye first hla
kingdom, and his righteousness; and all
these things shall be added unto you."
Matthew 6:33.
We have studied some of the prln-1
ciples that are to obtain in the establishing
and the working out of this
new kingdom Jesus came to found,
and the question naturally arises, "la
it of sufficient value for me to consider
or'Beek to enter It, or to possess
It?" In our lesson today there Is set
before us four parables (Jesus' favorite
way of teaching) which he gave prlvately
to his disciples and not to the
multitude, that ought to answer any
such questioning In our hearts.
The first two have to do with the
great value of the kingdom, the second
Its mixed character and final separation.
and the last, the great respon
bluuiiy ok iuobu w uu iiubbvbo ll?
truths. In this entire group of parables
found in the thirteenth chapter
of Matthew are four that are for men
who are careful to observe the outward
development, and four others
that are for those men of faith who
see beneath the surface the hidden
things of the kingdom. Those men
who view the kingdom in each particular
age as God sees rather than
as man observes.
Today's lesson sets forth the purchase
of things of great value, the acquisition
and disposition of things of
a mixed value, and lastly, the use of
these values after coming Into the possession
of them.
I. The hidden treasure, v. 44. Perhaps
more properly this should be
termed the parable of the bought field.
We need to remember that In all of
these parables the Master himself Is
the Important personage. He Is the
one who sows the seed, etc. Hence
we understand that he Is the one
who discovers this great treasure hidden
In the field. He has already told
us that "the field Is the world" (Matt.
13:38).
Symbolism of Pearls.
II. The pearl of great price, vb. 45,
46. This parable Is very much the
same as the foregoing, yet it adds great
strength and force to this study In
values. We ought to be very clear In
our Btudy and application. The pearl
of great price may perhaps be taken
as a symbol of our salvation, but If
so for ua to interpret the merchantman
as the commonality of man would
be for the sinner to purchase his own
salvation, a thing as far as possible
for the New Testament teaching.
Why does Jesus speak of pearls to
the Hebrews who did not esteem them
at all? What Is the symbolism of a
pearl? The pearl Is the one precious
stone that Is the result of a living
organism; It Is the result of an Injury
done to the life of the oyster. It has
always stood for purity and for Innocence.
Is It then Illogical for us to
assume that Christ Is the merchantman
who gave all to redeem (e. g..
buy back) the lost souls of mankind?
Let us turn to Paul's words, remembering
the washing process, the pain
ful process or developing pearis twiu
the ultimate beauty and value of this
the pearl of great price. "Christ also
loved the church, and gave hlmBelf
for It; that he might sanctify It, having
cleansed It by the washing of
water with the Word, that he might
present the church to himself a glorious
church. Not having spot or
wrinkle or any such thing; but that
It should be holy and without blemish."
(Eph. 6:25-27.)
III. The drag net. vs. 47-60. This
parable Is another that deals with the
mixed character of the kingdom here
upon the earth and of the final separation
Incident thereto. It Is noticeable
that this Is collective, not Individual,
fishing. There will be many movements
that will ostensibly be for the
gathering of men Into this kingdom,
but the principle here laid down Is
that one considered In the lesson of
the wheat and the tares, viz.. that ultimately
there shall be cast out all
things that do offend. In the finality
of all thlngB the kingdom shall be
without spot or blemish. Hence we
do not read Into this parable emphasis
upon any phase of evangelism.

IV. The householder, vs. 51-53. In
the first of these parables we had the
Word as the seed of this new kingdom,
In this the eighth of the kingdom parables
we revert as It were to the matter
of the Word. Jesus asks his
disciples If they understand the Word
v.- Kna erw-iVon to them. Their re
UU liao opwuvu ?
eponse Is. "Yes, we do." Then JeBus
shows them what a burden of responsibility
due to possession rests upou
them. Jesus refers to the Scribes
whose work under the Jewish economy
was to transcribe and to Interpret
and tells the disciples that they In a
like manner are to Interpret the kingdom
to all men. They are to "bring
forth" hidden treasures. We must remember
that Jesus taught In parables
that "hearing they 'might not hear."
etc., hence we are to search the
Scriptures and bring forth these hidden
treasures of truth as we go about
doing our part In the ushering of the
kingdom.
There are two ways of our entering
this kingdom, a right one and a wrong
one. We may think we have entered
by doing something, e. g., by our
works, only to find that when the contents
of the drag net are examined we
shall be cast forth. Or we may gain
the pearl of great price, even Christ
himself by faith. and find In him all
that fulness for which men are starving.
Find In him the sum of all values.
When we enter this kingdom
through him who Is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, we will discover
It was a profitable bargain to part
with all. for what will a man give In
exchange for his soul?
Are w'e willing to pay the price for
the sake of the pearl? Are we willing
to pay the price of the field that others
may possess the great treasure of
eternal life in Christ? He paid the
price to purchase eternal life for us.
Do not forget the kingdom is not eating
and drinking, but righteousness
and Joy and peace in the Holy Spirit
(Rom. 14:17).
The treasure was discovered, the
pea;J sought after; both methods
have their place and significance In
our lives that are to be hid with
Christ In God. We must reveal to the
world great treasures.

RECORD OF A
GREAT MEDICINE
Doctors Could Not Help Mrs,
Templeton ? Regained
Health through Lydia E*
Pinkham's Compound,
Hooper, Nebraska.? "I am very glad
to tell how Lydia E.Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has helped me. For five years
I suffered from female troubles so I was
scarcely able to do my work. I took doctors'
medicines and used local treatments
but was not helped. I had such awful
bearing down pains and my back was so
weak I could hardly walk and could not
ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep
and my friends thought I could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me a bottle of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound and I commenced to
take it By the time I bad taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and I began doing my washing and was a
wellwoman. Atone time for three weeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
with no signs of my old trouble returning.
Many have taken your medicine
after seeing what it did for me. I would
not take $1000 and be where I was. You
have my permission to use my name if
it will aid anyone."?Mrs. Susie Tem
