Little Robert was much interested in the picture of a stork which he saw in a magazine. "Say. mamma," he asked, what has become of the bird's other leg?" "It has raised it up among its feathers," replied the mother "That's funny." the boy observed. "I thought it was trying to clean Its 6hoe on its stocVlng like sister Ethel does." AS TO FLAVOUR. Found Her Favorite Again. A bright young lady tells how she came to be acutely sensitive as to the taste of coffee; "My health had been very poor for several years," she says. "1 loved coffee and drank It for breakfast, but only learned by accident, as it were, that it was the cause of the constant, dreadful headaches from which 1 suffered every day, and of the nervousness that drove sleep from my pillow and so deranged my stomach that everything 1 ate gave me acute pain. (Tea Is just as injurious, because it contains caffeine, the same drug found in coffee.) "My condition finally got so serious that i was advised by my doctor to go to a hospital. There they gave me what I supposed was coffee, and I thought it. was the best 1 ever drank, but I have since learned It waa Postum. I gained rapidly and came home in four weeks. "Somehow the coffee we used at home didn't taste right when I got back. I tried various kinds, but none tasted as good as that I drank in the hospital, and all brought back the dreadful headaches end thr? n. ovct' feeling. "One day I got a package of Postum, and the first taste of it I took. I said 'that'H the good coffee we had In the hospital.' I have drank it ever since, and eat Grape-Nuts for my breakfast. 1 have no more headaches, and feel better than I have for years." Name given upon request.

Director of Evening Deportment The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) I | LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 23 ABRAM AND LOT. LESSON TEXT?Oen. 1S:t-12. OOI.DEN TEXT- "The blensing of Jehovah. it maketh rich; anil He mlileth no sorrows therewith."--I'rov. 10:22. During the time that intervened between this and last week's lesson we read of Abram's Journey "down Into Egypt." a story that is rich with bur gestive typical lessons. Abram's deceit is discovered by Pharaoh and he is driven from Egypt.. Fear is the i root of unbelief, and when we fall we are sure to carry some one with us. i But a man's sin is sure to be discov- i ered, bo it was that "Pharaoh commanded his men. and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had." Egypt, a type of the world, turned Abram out (12:20) when he , tried the "good Eord good devil" mode of life. Compromise and separation j are not compatible. Lesson's Picture. I. "Up Out of Egypt," vv. 1-5. Again | we have presented the lesson of separation. This portion is a great pic ture of repentance. Abram carried I with him not only his own possessions hut also those of his nephew T.ot. No | tice, Ahram's wealth did not make I him acceptable in Egypt. The world ! desires not alone the wealth of a man, ! but also the man hack of the wealth. Agnln Abram turns from conflict, un- ! j to Bethel, the house of Clod, that place ! of confession, of consecration, and of | encouragement. These returning pilgrims were not ordinary men, no more is the man who ; is in Christ, and Clod was already given evidence of tho blessing promised to Abram (12:21 nnd of that material blessing so definitely promised j I to the descendants of Jacob. We ' read (v.* 6) "their substance was great." Rut there is far greater dan- ! ! ger however in material prosperity i than in adversity. This was a greater danger to these pilgrims than that of ! the Canaanites who dwelt in the land II. "And There Was Strife," vv. 6-9. The evidence of this danger manifest- | 1 ed itself when 11 was found that the land could not support both Abram and | Lot (v. 6). Paul calls Timothy's at- ! i tention to this same danger (I Tim. j 6:9), and we are constantly seeing it illustrated all about us. Lot's History. Lot was journeying with Abram rather than with .Totintroh no-n doubtless In a groat measure ho wns : governed by cupidity and selfishness l when he beheld Abram's prosperity, j Millions In America profit by the se1 curity and the prosperity of this which so nearly approaches a Christian na tlon nnd yet in scorn or in neglect refuse to believe in or to serve the Ood ' who sends the blessing. The whole ; j history of Ixit is one of selfishness, j which later resulted in sorrow and sadness and in his being shorn of all I of his selfishly acquired prosperity. Lot had no particular claim upon ' ! Abram nor have we in our own right, j or because of our own merit, upon !'or be eauseof our own merit, upon God. j There is so little that divides most of us and so much that we hold in com} mon that it is but little short of crim- j inal to waste our energy upon that which Is ephemeral or of slight importance. What a difference in the choice of Lot and that of Abram. One entered into the path of the wicked. Prov. 4:14, 15, while the other into the path that "shineth more and more unto the perfect day," Prov. 4:18. III. "And Lot . . . Beheld All the Plain of Jordan," vv. 10-13. Lacking the counsel and guidance of Jehovah I,ot followed the choice that which was pleasing to the eyes and made a sorry mess of it, for in the end he was a great loser. Already the land was doomed fv. 10) and so today the man who chooses the world In preference to Christ makes a bad bargain (1 John 2:17) and the greater condemnation !s 1 his for he makes his choice In the blazI ing light of nearly twenty centuries of the Oospel. Lot made a willing compromise. a superficial choice and came near losing his own soul. Matt, 16:20. 6:33. He deliberately entered Into dnnger when he "pitched his tent to- ; wards Sodom." The believers peril is worldliness. loot's journey (v. 11) led at last to Sodom v. 12. Abram aspired to know flod. Lot he/1 At /i . IK.. <111 II limit mil III PUENRHS IIJO of time and sense.

IV. "Lift Ud Thine Eve*." vv 14-18 After separation comes fellowship and fruitfulness. God Invited Abrnm to arise and to inspect his promised possessions. So may we contemplate the vast possessions God has promised us in Christ Jesus. Rom. 8:17, 2 Cor. ' 4:18. After our separation and our fellowship comes true fruitfuiness and < prosperity, I Tim. 4:18.

Toledo, O.?While Buttering from delirium. resulting from u high fever. Dr. Peter Donnelly, city police sur- ' goon and one of the moBt prominent physicians in this city, drove a six cylinder automobile at full sp*-cd into the Maumec river early the other day and was drowned. The physician, who was a brother of Judge Michael I>onnelly, of Napoleon, ran his high powered car onto the wharf at the foot of Madison avenue, breaking through the guard chains and. without stopping, plunged into the water. Man and car disappeared from sight. The accident was witnessed by but one man. Roy Videan. a night watchman. who was walking up the hill on 1 o ? i> mmm .3^ - Drove at Full Speed Into River. Madison avenue, near Water street, as the automobile passed him. headed di- t rectly for the street and dock. A diver found the car overturned | at the bottom of the river and also found and recognized the body. Dr. Donnelly was suffering from j high fever, but continued his practice j against the advice of other physicians. The evening before the accident he attended a meeting of the Academy of Medicine and stopped with com panions at the Toledo club until one o'clock in the morning, when he left for home. It is believed that, in delirium, resulting from fever, he drove the car off the wharf at high speed. MAN WITH SHORTEST NAME Breaks Into Print?Short Story? Kapia stun?Short Sentences?
