MORE OR LESS OF A JOKE
Auto Driver's Comment on Careless
Hose Wlelder Really Mild Under
the Circumstancee.
Am East end man moved last summer,
and among the other necessities
of the new home was a 50-foot section
of garden hose, says the Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
The East end man has a fondness
for boasting about his steadiness un
der trying conditions, and never tires
of telling of his sangfroid when a
passenger coach in which he was
riding was raided by a pair of train
robbers.
One Sunday afternoon he was
sprinkling the lawn when an automobile
containing some friends drew
up at the curb. The East end man,
hose in hand, hurried across the walkto
greet them, and then turned io
wave his hand to his wife, who was
on the porch, to come down. As he
whirled about he forgot the hose and
unconsciously trained it directly on
the party in the auto. There were
wild shrieks from the women in the
car. The hoseman hastily threw the
stream around, and let it drive
squarely at his wife, who was hurrying
down the walk from the porch.
"What in blazes do you think
you're doing?" roared the sputtering
auto driver, "getting out. a comic
supplement ?"
REAL CAUSE OF EYE FATIGUE
Not the Retina, but the Inner and
Outer Muscles of the Eyeballs
Become Tired.

inn or seeing portion of the eye
is fatigued. This is not the case,
for the retina seldom if ever gets
tired. The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscles attaehed to the
eyeballs and the muscles of accommodation
which surround the lens of
the eye. When a near object has to
l>c looked at this muscle relaxes and
allows the lens to thicken, increasing
its reactive power. The inner and
outer muscles are used in covering
the eye on the object to he looked at.
the inner one being especially used
when a near object is looked at. It
is in three muscles mentioned that
the fatigue is felt, and relief is secured
temporarily by closing the eyes
or gazing at far distant objects. Tinusual
indication of strain is a redness
of the rim of the eyelid, betokening
a congested state of the inner
Burfaee, accompanied by some pain.
Sometimes this weariness indicates
the need of glasses rightly adapted
to the person, and in other cases the
true remedy is to rub the eye and its
surroundings as far as may be with
the hand wet in cold water.
EASY DIPLOMA.
After a Canadian named Morgan
had been appointed to a government
place it was discovered that the position
technically had to be occupied
by a lawyer, which Mr. Morgan was
not. The benchers of the law society,
however, undertook to obviate
the technicality, and appointed one
of their number to examine Morgan.
"Tell us, Mr. Morgan," said the examiner,
"what do you know about
the law, anvwav?" "To tell the
truth," was the modest response of
Morgan, "I don't know a single
thing." Whereupon the examiner
intimated that the question was at
an end. He turned in his affidavit,
wherein it was stated : "1 have examined
Mr. Morgan as to his knowledge
of the law, and to the best of
my knowledge and belief be has answered
all the questions with entire
correctness."
ITS CHAPLAIN IS EDITOR.
Here's something with which the
newspaper men may soothe their
souls: In the state penitentiary are
about 875 prisoners. The institution
publishes n little weekly paper
called the Penitentiary Bulletin. In
moat states the prison paper is edited
by the prisoners, but in the Kansas
institution this is impossible because
there is not an editor in the
entire list. Consequently the chaplain
is compelled to add the duties

LESSON FOR MARCH 15
LAWFUL USE OF THE SABBATH.
LESSON TEXT-Luke 13:10-17; 14:l-?.
-GOLDEN TEXT?"The Sab?>ath wu
made for man and not man (or the Sabbath."?Mark
2J7.
These two sections of scripture
have been chosen that we might emphasize
the truth of the golden text
which can correctly be translated.
"The Sabbath was brought into being
on account of man. and not man on
account of the Sabbath."
There are two extremes of thought
and action as regards the Christian
Sabbath. One is to make it a holiday,
the other to make it a holy-day,
to worship the day as though it possessed
some secret sacredness thereby
forgetting the author of the day.
A study of what Jesus taught will
check laxity on the one hand and correct
fanatical error on the other.
Contrast Shown.
I. Jesus loosing the woman, 13:1017.
This Incident is a strong contrast
between God's mercy and man's lack
of mercy. Satan was to blame for the
woman's illness (v. 16) and at the
same time for the hardness of the
hearts of these men. The incident
occurred in a synagogue and displeased
the leaders. As if to rebuke them
Jesus not only spoke the word of
relief but also touched her, causing
an iiimaiiuiut'uua U11U a UU 111 pit! LB CUIT3.
Her response was to glorify God. The
Bight of thlB satanlc captive acted In
contrast upon Jesus and the ruled of
the synagogue. Compassion and an
utter lack of sympathy. More care
for legalism than for the relief of one
created in God's Image. Jesus seems
to have acted speedily and is today
calling the unfortunate to him to be
healed and comforted. Matt. 11:28-30.
Jesus could have healed by a word
only, John 5:40-43, but there Is power
also In the loving touch, which In this
case quickened her faith (v. 13). The
record does not suggest that her cure
was in response to her faith as was
the case In other cures, Matt. 8:10;
15:28. If the ruler had had a heart
of compassion he too would have re'
Joiced at the cure, but he cared more
for ceremonial ecclesiastlcism than
for the good of the worshipers and
his emotion was that of indignation
rather than that of Joy. A religion
that Is more concerned with bondage
to the beggarly elements, the observance
of days (Gal. 4:9-11) Is here denounced
as hypocrisy (vv. 16, 16). It
Is to have more interest in property
than in human souls. Ofttimes hatred
' for those who do not agree with us Is
covered up by a falso fanatical pretended
Jealousy for the law of God.
Lovfc's Attribute.
II. Jesus healing the man, 4:1-6. In
this incident the question of the Sabbath
Is raised by Jesus himself, evidently
in answer to their mental attitude.
for "they watched him" (v. 1).
Receiving no reply, Jesus first healed
the man and then again reminded
them of the care they gave their cattle.
Jesus plainly implies that if they
give care to an ox or an ass on the
Sabbath, how can It possibly be wrong
to relieve humanity on the Sabbath?
Mercy and love are superior to ceremonies
though these be of divine appointment.
The reasoning is clear.
Love Is an attribute of God's character.
I. John 4:8, and therefore his own
ceremonies must give way before the
activities and energies of his being.
Thus to act upon the principles that
concern the value of an "or or an ass"
is to allow the lower to control the
higher, for a man is of more value
than the ox. These Pharisees were
exceedingly religious, great for the
"letter of the law," but they were
dried up at heart, and consequently
far worse ofT than the man with the
dropsy. It is small wonder then that
the mnster's reply should silence them
so "they could not answer him."
The Teaching.?It is true that fun- |
damentally the Sabbath idea is ono
of worship and rest, but the reason
for its existence is because of man's !
need of that rest. That true rest can
be found only in a truo and intelligent
spiritual fellowship with God.
Anything, therefore, that interferes
with or hinders rest breaks the Sabbath
and should be removed in order
that the Sabbath intention may be ob- j
Berved These men were justified In
leading an ox or an ass to water on
the Sabbath or to rescue one in peril.
On the same principle any work j
which enables men to enter into a i
Sabbath rest is nat only justifiable but
necessary in the Interest of the Sabbath
itself. They cared for cattle only
as cattle, their property; we must
care for men for their own RRk?n nmt I
in his interest and behalf.
The Sabbath must never be desecrated
by being made an instrument
of harm to man. It is always desecrated
when, In the presence of human
need, we decline to render service
cn the plea of the sanctity of the
day. A false ceremonlnl sanctity of
any particular day must never be permitted
to destroy the underlying, the
truly essential, sanction and authority
for a Sabbath rest. Physically wo
do not each night fully regain our
lost energy and need the seventh day
j to jalnr.ee the account. Spiritually
we need the strength that comes from
the Sabbath day's rest. Isa. 30:15.
The department of agriculture recommends
that every rural and suburban
household should be equipped
with a fire bucket, filled with water,
and provided with a cover. The bottom
of the bucket should be round
so it cannot be left on the tloor or
used for any other purpose. It
should lie hung up near the stairs or
entrances of buildings and should
have two pounds or more of fused
calcium chloride added to the water
' 1a prevent freezing.

A Mother's Letter to Mothers.
Mrs. E. W. Cooper of Bloomfleld,
N. J., says: "My child, seven years
old, had a bad cold and was weak
and quite run down in healtb. She
bad been In this condition for about
six weeks when I began giving her
Vinol. It was a wonderful help to the
child, breaking up'her cold quickly
and building up her strength beBide.
I have also found Vinol a most excel- i
lent tonic for keeping up the chlldten's
strength during a siege of
whooping cough."
Vinol is a wonderful combination |
of two world-famed tonics?the medicinal
body building elements of cod
liver oil and iron for the blood, therefore
it is a perfectly safe medicine
for children, because R is not a j
patent medicine, everything in It is !
printed on every package, so mothers
may know what they are giving their
little ones.
Therefore we ask every mother of
a weak. slckl} or ailing child in this
vicinity to try Vinol on our guarantee.
P. S. Our Saxo Salve Is truly wonderful
for Eczema. We guarantee it.
