Bowels Ge As Age The First Necessity is to Keep the Bowels Gently Open With a Mild Laxative Tonic Healthy old age is so absolutely dependent upon the condition of the bowels that great care should be taken to see that they act regularly. The fact Is that as age advances the stomach muscles become weak and inactive and the liver does not store up the juices that are necessary to prompt digestion. Some help can be obtained by eating easily digested foods and by plenty of exercise, but this latter is irkBOme to most elderly people. One thing is certain, that a state of constipation should always be avoided as it is dangerous to life and health. The best plan is to take a mild laxative as often as 1b deemed necessary. But with equal certainty It is suggested that cathartics, purgatives, physics, salts and pills be avoided, as they do but temporary good and are so harsh as to be a shock to a delicate system. A much better plan, and one that thousands of elderly people are following, 1b to take a gentle laxative-tonic like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which acts as nearly like nature aB is possible. In fact, the tendency of this remedy is to strengthen the stomach and bowel muscles and so train them to act naturally again, when medicines of all kinds can usually bo dispensed with. This is the opinion of many people of different ages, among them Mr. O. P. Miller, Daroda, Mich., who writes: "I am 80 years old and have been constipated for ninny years.

M LESSON FOR MARC!h#9 THE DESTRUCTION OF ftOOM. LESSON TEXT?Gen. 19:12-17*3-29. GOLDEN TEXT?"Come ye oW from among them, and be ye leparaA Ultb the Loid. and touch no unclean tl?n "t Cor. 6:17. % No teacher of this lesson stwild omit a study of chapter 18. though he may not refer to it expliwly in this connection. We have thelc presented a believer's privilege, (I) friendship (v. 17) (a) with God, (tfl with man. (2) Intercession, v. 2jr (3) knowledge, v. 26, 1 c. The alt. the power, the place, the glory. ?ie spirit, of intercession, yes, the blets iiiK of intercession is to be covetlfd by all believers. Abraham's interc/.-sslon prevailed though outwardly f It seemed to fail, see 19:26. The jre- ' pared teacher ought also be famll- j lur with the story of the change of \ Abrajn's name and of God's dealing j with Abroham and Sarah as recorded in chapters 17 and 18. Lot and Sodom. I. The Warning, vv. 17-23.?lx)t had "pitched his tent towards Sodom." and now the time for the execution of another judgment upon sin had arrived. God. however, here gives us another illustration of his mercy i which always precedes judgment. That mercy was not only to a righteous man, one who had therefore a degree of worthiness, but also to an undeserving member of the same funiily, i see 7:1 and Acts 16:31. First of all, I.-ot Is called upon to separate himself from his neighbors. l?t attempted to convey this warning to his sons-in-law, but it was too late, his testimony, his manner of life, his alms, and his ambitions had corresponded with theirs for such a period of time that the iucl 01 ii 18 uoionging to trie family of tho promise watt forgotten and "ho Homed as one that mocked unto his sons-in-law." God is caliing us from tho corruptions and tho plagues of Habylon (Itev. 18:4) and to separate ourselves from Sodom, see the golden text. While God is long suffering (2 Peter, 3:9) we must also remember that if men will sin willfully, if they persist in their wickedness, Judgment is sure to follow, v 13, ulso 2 Peter 3:10, 11. When Judgment does come, as it did in this case, God knows how to save his own, 2 Peter 2:7-9. The voice of sin cries from our cities today. The voice of poverty, of intemperance, of injustice, and it reaches "before the face of the Lord," (Jas. 5:4) and unless America heeds, unless men repent, God will most certainly punish. Acts 17:30, 31. This punishment of Sodom was not only the development of their own wicked ness, but by direct agency of God's destroying angels. Look up the subject of Judgments. Lot, wo are told, was a righteous man, 2 Peter 2:7, but he was most sadly connected with the world, and hence lost his testimony (v. 14). The church of today is constantly hiuder ! ed by the incubus of believers of this j type. God expects the disciple to so separate himself from things that ; though he may be "in the world, he Is i not of the world." Even Isjt was loath to leave (vv. 1 15, 16). and later many of the Isreal- 1 ites were full of regret over the miss- j ing flesh-pots of Egypt. The angels j of God had to fairly drag Lot out of tlio doomed city. He came near losing his very life as he persistently clung to his property. The greatest weapon and the most efficient one the devil has to use in his warfare for human ?ouls is procrastination. God's Patience. The long suffering and patience of j God are most wonderfully shown in verse 16, and the whole secret of Lot's salvation was that the "l^ord was merciful unto him," Eph. 2:8. II. The Destruction, vv. 23-29.?Lot escaped to a little city. Zoar, which I God in his mercy promised not to destroy \v. 21). and it was not till Lot was clear of Sodom that destruction came. God could not break his word. He had promised Abram, and had Abram pursued his importunities, chapter 18, doubtless even Sodom might not have been so utterly destroyed. There was, as has been suggested, probably a volcanic eruption of gaaeB, petroleum, etc., but there accompanied it a supernatural manifestation also, for 1t "rained down." v. 24. The words "looked back," referring to Ixrt's wife, imply more than a' mere passing glapce. Her heart was in the city she was leaving, that city so full of pride, of bread.' and of ease, Ezek. 16:49. She died as did IMiny at Pompeii, suffocated by the gases, and her body became incrusted with the salt. Life is a gift of God, we hold it only upon certain conditions; we can choose good or evil. God loves us and wishes all men to be saved, promises pardon to the penitent and foretells doom for the impenitent. Mr. Moody's story of "Judge Lot" would be effective in presenting this lesson. Present to the boys the slogan of "clean living; clean speech; clean athletics." Forget not to show love to strangem, Heb. 13:2. Sodom needed ten men to redeem It. What American city has but ten righteous men in it? Read Deut. 32:30. The punishment of crinia la a stern necessity. ! NEARLY DEAD MOTHER SAVES Timely Advice of Mother Relieves Terrible Suffering of Daughter, and Possibly Prevents an Untimely End. Ready. Ky.?In the following advlcea from this place, Mrs. Laura Bratcher says: "I was not able to do anything for nearly six months, and was down in bed for three months. I cannot tell vou hnw T with my head, and with nervousness j and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband : he could not do me any good, and he ! had to give It up. We tried another doctor, but he did not help me. At last, my mother advised me to take Cardul. the woman's tonic. I thought it was no use. for I was nearly dead and nothing seemed to do me any good, but I used eleven bottles, and was then able to do all of my work and my own washing. I think Cardul Is the best medicine In the world. My weight has increased, and I look the picture of health. I will always praise Cardul for what It has done for me." Remember that Cardul Is a mild, snfe remedy, composed of valuable medicinal ingredients, which help to build up vitality, tone up the nerves, and strengthen the entire womanly constitution. In the past half century Cardul has relieved more than a million women. Why shouldn't It do the same for you? Try it. It may be Just what you need. N. B.?IVrttt to! Chattanooga Medicine Co..

A Virginia farmer was driving a refractory cow down the road one morning. The cow and the driver came to a crossroad. The man wanted the cow to go straight ahead, but the cow picked out the crossroad. A negro was coming along the crossroad. "Hald her off! Haid her off!" yelled the driver. The negro jumped about the road and wavod his arms. The cow pro ceeded calmly on lier way. "Haid her off! Haid her off, nigger!" yelled the driver. "Ise a-tryln, ter!" replied the negro. "Speak to her! Speak to her and she'll stop!" "Good mawnln', cow?good niawn- j In'!" said the negro politely. CLEAR HEADED Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable. The chief bookkeeper in a large business \house in one of our great Western cities speaks of the harm | coffee did for him. (Tea is just as I injurious because it contains caffeine. 1 the same drug found in coffee.) "My wife and I drank our first cup of Postum a little over two years ago and we have used it ever since, to the entire exclusion of tea and coffee. It happened in this way: "About three and a half years ago I had an attack of pneumonia, which l,.f?

My 'rup of cheer' had always been coffee 1 or tea, but 1 became convinced, after | a time, that they aggravated my stomaeh trouble. I happened to -mention the matter to my grocer one day and he suggested that I give Postum a trial. "Next day It came, but the cook 1 made the mistake of not boiling It sufficiently, and we did not like it much. This was, however, soon remedied, and now we hke it so much that we will never change back. Postum, being a food beverage instead of a drug, has been the? means of banishing my stomach troublo, I verily believe, for I am a well man today and have used no medicine. "My work as chief bookkeeper In our Co.'s branch house here is of a very confining nature. During my coffee-drinkinir davn I wun onhioot tn. nervousness and 'the blues'. These have left me since 1 began using Postum. and I can conscientiously recommend It to those whose work confines them to long hours of severe mental exertion." Name given by Postuin Co..

"Hut dad told me to whistle," he replied "Your father told you to whistle. Tommy?" queried the school teacher, in considerable doubt. "Yes'ni.

"About three years ago I had the ma inria rever, ana wnen x recovered my hair was falling out bo that the doctor told me to cut It off.

The modern practice among the best punieu unu mosi progressive liorse owners and farmers is to clip all horses in the spring. It is done on the theory that in their natural state horses were not obliged to work, so could shed the winter coat in comfort over a period of several weeks. Since we oblige them to do hard work on warm spring days, the winter coat, should , be removed for the same reason that we , lay off our heavy winter garments. Clipped horses dry oil rapidly, hence they do not take cold as easily nor are they as prone i to l?e affected with other ailments as undipped animals whose longer hair holds the perspiration for hours. because clipped horses dry off rapidly they rest better, get more good from their food and come out in the morning refreshed and tit for work. Since the advent of the ball bearing en- ' closed gear clipping machine, the work of j tnking off the winter coat is easy. With , ttie machine a horse can be clipped nil over j in half an hour, whereas with the old two- ; hand clipper it required several hours to i do it. Dairymen also now clip the cows all over two or three times a year. The flanks and udders are clipped every three or four j weeks, so it is easy to clean the parts he- j fore milking. This means less opportunity ! for dirt and other impurities to get into the milk. Hardly. "Is there any way you can suggept by which we can cure ner of her infutuation for him?"
