rheumatic pains and my kidneys
didn’t act right. My back was pain-
fdl at times, too, and I was dhezy

they made me entirely well.”
SEVEN YEARS LATER, Mrs. Mc

FOR THE OLD WORLD
_ j . f
To Play Important Part in
Financing Big Enterprises
Washington.—The United States
strengthened Its position as a world
depository in 1923 as the “light to’cap
ital” continued from unstable economic
conditions of the old world, the De
partment of Commerce said in a sum
mary of internutiouul transactions, lu
the future, the department .predicted,
this country will take a more and more
import ant part In tinancing w$rld en
terprises.
Once again the “invisible" trade, the
transactions for which there are no
government records, played an influen
tial part in the balance of the books.
The “invisible” Items last year were
such ns to cut to $19,000,000 a balance
«f $g89.000,000 In favor of the United
States In the transactions passing
through the custom houses. Included
in the “invisible” items was nn esti
mated $30,000,000 in smuggled liquors.
To Finance World Enterprises.
Ocean freight appeared to be the
only consequential service or com
modity for which the United States
paid foreigners more than it received.
On the other hand, foreign investments
brought $394,000,000 Into the United
States, a net increase of one-flfth over
1922. As compared with 1922, exports
from this country were $341,000,000
greater and Imports were $706,000,000
more In 1923, showing a healthy growth
In American trade.
“It seems likely,” the survey said,
“that the United Stites will take a
more active part In financing world
enterprises In the future than It has
in the past. This means an increasing
amount of interest and profits on for
eign Investments and consequently an
Increasing volume of Imports—not nec
essarily from the countries In which
the Investments are niade, but from
the whole world. At the same time,
with the growth of our country and
the Increasing skill of American hank
ers and exporters, It Is likely that ex
ports will continue to Increase, al
though not as fast as imports.
New Loans Give Boost.
“New loans Inevitably give a tem-
ptfrary boost to exports and frequently
a permanent one. On the other hand,
Interest is received in the form of im
ports of one sort or another. If the
European governments that have not
yet started to pay their debts to tho
United States should do. so. there can
he little donbt that Imports of mer
chandise would regularly exceed ex
ports. as Is usually the case with
creditor countries.”
Discussing the Items that went lo
make up the “Invisible” transactions,
the survey saMKthat American tourists
had spent something like $500,000,000
In pleasure, and American citizens
gave about $70,000,000 for foreign and
philanthropic purposes. '
Tracing out the “Invisible” trading,
the survey mentions Interest and dlvl-
dends ocean freights, governmental re
payments, services to tourists, chari
table and missionary expenditures and
remittances of Immigrants, all of which
showed a balance of $370,000,000 that
went out over what came in.

IC—What Jeholada Meant to Judah.
Joash, viewed in the light of his an
cestors. was a poor prospect for a
king. His grandmother was the
wicked Athaliah and his great-grand
parents were Ahab and Jezebel. There
was enough bad blood in his veins to
assure his doom. Despite this fact, he
brought about some noble reforms and
turned the people back to God.
I. Athaliah Usurps the Throne,
(yv. 1-3).
1. Her Attempt to Destroy the Seed
Royal (v. 1). Ij order to remove any
rightful claimant to the throne she
tried to kill all the royal male chil
dren. The act was not of sudden Im
pulse, hut of deliberate purpose.
2. Joash Preserved by Jehosheba
(vv. 2, 3). Though Athaliah was keen
eyed, she was checkmated by another
woman. This woman, the wife of the
priest, stole away this child and hid
him away In a bedchamber for six
years. God had promised that through
the Dayldl.* line the Messiah should
come. In order that this line be un-
j^oken Joash must be preserved. No
purpose of God can fall.
II. Joash Crowned King (vv. 4-12).
1. Jeholada’s Preparations (vv. 4-
11). The high priest and his wife
were strong characters. As the high
priest, Jehoiuda felt that it was his
duty to thwart the heathen project of
Athaliah. His wife’s co-operation
made possible the saving of Joash.
(1) Seeks the aid of the military lead
ers (v. 4). He knew somehow that
these men were not loyal to Ath
aliah.
(2) He took an oath of them In th#
house of the Lord (v/ 4). He bound
them to their agreement by every avail
able means.
(3) He incited their spirit of pa
triotism (v. 4). He gave them a sight
of the king’s son. This, no doubt, was
a great surprise. Now, having seen
the heir to the throne, they would risk
everything, even their lives, in order
to set him on the throne.
(4) He co-ordinates all matters
(vv. 5-11). The soldiers were divided
Into companies and arms were dis
tributed to them. Each group w as as
signed to specific duties.
2. ,Tbe Coronation (v. 12).

This was a greaf day In Jerusalem.

In place of the chicken head and beak

York !»i the New Ilochel’e poultry
market, 37 Lawton street. Instead ot
a beak the chicken has a pug nose. Its
tongue is like that of the South Ameri

of fowl. The chickeq drinks like an
animal and not like n towl. It lowers
its head into the water ami drinks its

stead of filling its bill, lifting its head
and then letting the water drain down
its neck, like most birds.

III. Althaliah Slain (vv. 13-17).
1. The Noise of the Coronation of
Joash Brought Athaliah to the Temple
(v. 15). Up to this time she thought
her place on the throne was secure
and that her heathen religion had free
course.
2. Her Doom (v. 14). Upon her ar
rival at the temple she saw the king
wearing the crown and surrounded by
guards so that she could do nothing.
In her despair she exclaimed “T*a-
son, treason.” This was not treason,
but the triumph of right over wrong—
the defeat of conspiracy and plot
ting.
3. Athaliah Executed (vv. 15, 16).
The orders were that she should not
be killed In the temple. They led her
out by the way of the horses’ entrance
to the king’s palace and slew her.
What a tragic,end for the sinner. Sin
can only prosper for a time.
IV. Worship of the People (vv.
17. 18).
Joash was seven years old when he
was made king. The high priest made
