SIMMONS Squaw Vine Wine A Palatable Medicine especially prepared to relieve and cure the diseases which affect women This excellent medicine is not only successful in conquering the pain ful and prostrating diseases that attack the female generative system but it is exceptionally pleasant to take. The usual rule that the nastier the medicine the more effective it is,1is reversed in the case of Squaw Vine Wine. It is cne of the pleas antest of medicines. The fresh juice of a well ripened sweet orange is not more agreeable. It is indeed a happy combination of sweet herbs compounded with just enough spirits to keep it fresh an~d active in its medicinal effect. Poor, tired mothers, worn out with the cares of a family and household, and suf fering from those distressing aches, bearing down pains and nervousness which women only know, revive wonderfully under its strengthening and exhilirating influence. It eases pain, strengthens weakened parts, corrects irregularities, builds up a strong, vigorous body, restores brightness to the eye and color to the cheeks.

'hese precautions, it is poit ed out, not only lessen fly breeding, but make one's premises less sought after by long tailed rats. Here are some of the Poor-Richard-like aphorisms of ; the Board's appeal to the public: LIES EVER WATTING c OLLOW OLLOWS SAVES y ILTH LIES ICKNESS It is better to screen the cradle and wmar .1 smile ' than scoff at the precaution and wear mourning. Flies in the dining room usually precede nurses in / the sick room. Screens in the window prevents crepe on the door. Flies, as well as bad water, spread typhoid. A fly in the milk may mean a member of the family in the grave. A fly has natural enemies, the most persistent and mos" effective should be man. It costs less to buy a screen door than to get sick and/ lay off for a month. It's a short haul from the garbage can to the diilin l table via the fly route.

SELLERS, Director of Even rpartment. The Moody Bible In 'tituite of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MAY 4 JOSEPH INTERPRETS DREAMS. LESSON TEXT-Gen. 40:9-23. GOLDEN T.EXT-"The breath of the rniglhty giveth theta understanding." Job. ':S. R. V. In teaching this lesson we must not overlook the intervening events which are other illustrations of the truthful :ess of the biblical narrative in that the sinful failures as well as the suc cesses of families and of chosen in dividuals are presented. Joseph began life in Egypt as a serf. Potiphar, who bought him, was the chief marshal of the empire, the lord high executioner. What Joseph's feelings must have been we are left to infer, but we believe he accepted his humiliating poaition with resig nation and resolved to adjust himsell to his new environment. Thus it was that Potiphar found in Joseph an hon est servant. Joseph served ten years years of constant promotion, when he encountered the ordeal related it chapter 39. Crime and Sin. The breaking point had to come when he exclaimed: "How can I do this wickedness and sin against God?" sen. 39:9. A crime is committed against a man or against society; the same act against God is a sin. Jo seph's only safety was in flight (v 12), to parley would have meant de font. Between the ages of seventeen and thirty. Joseph lived a life of slav ~ry and imprisonient. But God wa: with him and his faithfulness was re warded by being promoted to the pC sition of warden. "Our religion shoul< recommend us, therefore itself. t those who have to do with us." (Mac (aren). .oseprh ihas been referred ti as "the optimi:," not as one who be leves that all will come right. bu that all is right now. so much by way of introductioi The lesson proper divides itself nal urally into two divisions: 1. The Chief Butler's Dream. v1 M-5. As we have seen Joseph's pu: Ity of life and loyalty to God ha brought upon him the bitter hatre >f an unprincipled woman (cf. 2 Tin 3:12), but as we shall see, the seque was his exaltation. (See Matt. 5:11 12.) By inference we are led to be lieve that Potinhar had not alto gether believed the story of his wifE else he would hove exercised hi right as an official, also as a slavE owner, and summarily executed J< seph. But Joseph had one frien from whom he could not be separa ed. (Jehovah, 39:21.) In the prov.idence of God two me who stcod nearer the King in tb discharge of their duties than di Potiphar are brought into close col tact with Joseph. It was throug one of these men Jacob was afte: wards given his opportunity whic led to the salvation of many, inclut Ing those of his own families. (Esthe 6s 1, Rom. 8:28, Ps. 76:10.) An Enlightened Age. We cannot of course lay the sam emphasis upon dreams today as a the time of Joseph, 'nor is there nee of such revelations from God, for 'w live in the enlightened age of th Holy Spirit and ever have easy ai cess to the word. But trivial as thes dreams may have seemed, God wa using them to change the course < history. Verse seven gives us an ix timation of this, also a hint of Ji seph's heart of compassion and syn pathy. Had Joseph been a selfis man, slow to notice the sorrows < others and still slower to make an endeavor to relieve their suffering, b would have missed the very opporti nity God intended to use in the e fecting of his escape from prison. I i. The Chief Baker's Dream, vi 16-23. This dream also was connec ed with the dreamer's avocation I life and hence along the most natura lines. Again Joseph's cherished cor viction produced by his own dream induces him to offer an interpretatio: of the baker's dream. Had he los this conviction due to the circunt stances of the hour or questioned th validity of God's revelation or tha he was a called man in God's plat he would not have attempted any it terpretation. Again we emphasize th fact that dreams are of a negligibl value in this present age. The: usually come from poor digestion o else a sinfui tendency to worry. The: have nothing of the divine about their (See Eccl. 5:3, Jer. 23:28.) We hay a better revelation from God, hi word; are we familiar with it? It i foolish for us to put any dependenc upon dreams today. Joseph's it terpretations which came from Go' were fulfilled, yet the butler forgets The Lessons of the Lesson. For the younger pupils the stor: tells itself and will hold enthrallei attention. For old -n ' thera is the lesson of Joe'ph's sciniceable ness, he was a ''helpful man." Jc seph bought up hIs opportunities anu later reaped his reward. Here is thi lesson of the forgetfulness of thi chief butler. Must we censure lain entirely for his Ingratitude? Joseph'l gift of leadership, 'twas not the occa slon that made the man, but the max made the occasion. The lesson o Joseph's faithfulness in the obscur Ity. Pains In the Stomach.

BAs one grows old the waste of thE system becomes more rapid than re ipair, the organs act more slowly and le1ss effectually than in youth, the cir culation is poor, the blood thin and digestion weak.
