Hospitals are great and necessary institutions, but they bould be the last resort for women who suffer with ills eculiar to their sex. Many letters on file in the Pinkham laboratory at Lynn, Mass., prove that a great number of women after they have been recommended to submit to an eration have been made well by Lydia E. Pinkham's egetable Compound. Here are three such letters. All ick women should read them. Marinette, Wis.-" I went to the doctor and he told me I must have an operation for a female trouble, and I hated to have it done as I had been married only a short time. I would have terrible pains and my hands and feet were cold all the time. I took Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound and was cured, and I feel better in every way. I ive you permission topublish my name because I am so thankful that feel well again." -Mrs. FRE-D BEnNKE, Marinette, Wis. Detroit Mich -"When I first took Lydia'' E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound I was so run down with female troubles that I could not do anything, and our doctor t:idd I would have to undergo an operation. I could hardly walk without help so when read about the Vegetable Compound what .. had done for others I thought I would try it. I got a bottle of fdia E. Pinkhami's Vegetale Cmpound and a package of Lydia E, nkWham's Sanative Was and used them according to directions. They helped me andtoday Iam able to do all my work and Iam well." -.Mrs. Tios. DWYER, 989 Milwaukee Ave., East, Detroit, Mich. Bellevue, Pa.-"I suffered more than tonpue can tell with terrible beanng' down pahis and inflammation. I tried several doctors and :iey all told me the same st'i-' that I never could get well without na oe ration and Ijust dreaded the thought of that. I also tried a good many other medicines that were recommended to me and none 1 them helped me until a friend advised me to give Lydia E. Pink Sam's Vegetable Compound a trial. The first bottle helped, I kept idn it and 'now I don't know what it is to be sick any more and I m picking up in weight. 1 am 20 years old and weigh 145 pounds. t Will be the greatest pleasure to me if I can have the oppor unity to recommend it to any other suffering woman."-Miss IRENE )MOELIOIHER, 1923 Manhattan St., North Side, Bellevue, Pa.

LESSON FOR APRIL 23. EASTER LESSON. LESSON TIEXT-I Cor. 15:1-28. GOLDEN TliXT-Now hath Christ been raised fron the dead, the first fruits of thern that are iasleep.-I Cor. 15:20. If teachers can impress indelibly upon the minds of their scholars the fact that Jesus rose from the dead and is as truly alive today as when walk Ing the hills of Galilee this repetition of the Easter story will not be in vain. For the pupils to take notes of the points of the argument and to recite upon those notes at the end of the class hour would greatly help to fix the facts in their minds. This account considered today is periaps the old est written record we have of this great fact, written about 56 A. D., hence the significance of verse six. 1. The Triumphant Fact (vs. 1-4). If Christian workers would be more fa miliar with this passage. they would more intelligently understand what the term "Gospel" means. The fact of the resurrection loomed larger in Paul's mind than the virgin birth; the former was and is the greater miracle. This, one of the supreme chapters of the Bible, tells us what the Gospel is, and what its results are to be.- (1) What it is. Not a new cure for tuber culosis, nor a new social environment, but the good news of one who was God incarnate (Paul does not use his earth ly name Jesus), Christ the Anointed One, who died for our sins just as the Scriptures had foretold, and was bur ied. On the third day, "according to the Scriptures," He rose again and is now and ever shall be alive. Any Gos pel that ignores the Incarnation, pas I sion and resurrection of Jesus is false to the Scriptures and a lie. (2) The result of preaching or testifying to this great program is twofold: first, salvation, "saved, restored to right relations with God;" and second, per severance, "wherein ye stand." The "God-story," gcod news, evangel or gospel-they are all the same-Is "the power of God unto salvation,' and the strong doctrine of the resurrectior will cause men to walk straight, t< stand upright. "Christ died for my sins according to the Scriptures" (Iso 53:5-10). II. Witnesses to the Fact (vs. 5-12). Paul (v. 3) received the resurrectior1 truth from many witnesses, whom he proceeds to enumerate, for' it was not a matter of his own invention:~ Thle in credulity of the .disciples at the first is frankly recorded (Luke 24:12). Je sus did not appear first to John, Pilate or the Sanhedrin, but to a woman, and the change of the apostles from a spirit of despair to that of confident, joyous cerstainty was most astonishing. There are eleven recorded appear anees of Jesus after his resurrection, and not one of thlem was madle to is enemies. Paul does not mention all of the appearances. He Is probably naming only those 'persons, witnesses of.his appearances, with whom lhe had conversed, or at least a few from each group. (1) Peter, referred to indirect l3/ in Luke 24:34; (2) the apostles, to be exact, the fir'st ten. Judas being (lead and Thomas absent; (3) the apos tles withl Thomas present; (4) flye hlundred, the only recordl of this great company, thlough perhaps implied in the "brethren" of Matt. 28:10. "Half a thousand witnesses are enouigh to establishl any case." Of those the greater number were alive twenty-five years after the event; (5) James, p~rob ably our Lord's brother, the hlonored head of the Jerusalem church; (6) "Then all the apostles," a larger cir cle than the twelve (see Luke 28:48, Acts 1:6-8). This may have been the appearance in the morn at the Sea of Galilee; (7) "me also." IIL. Thp Fact Appied.' (vs. 13-20). Tile Corinthians, to whlom Paul was writing, did not 'deny Chlrist's immor tality, but seemed to deny that the same power which had raised him could be applied to us who are only human. Paul answers this by present ing four arguments: (1) The resurrection of Christ proves the possibility of the resurrec tion from the dead, if only of Jesus. The Sadducees taught the contrary. The Stoics taught that the dead wore re-absorbed in God. To say Christ is not risen is to claim deathl as annihila tion, to destroy faith in Jesus (v. 14) and to impugn the testimonly of those who had seen him (v. 15). A dead Christ means dead Christians (v. 17) and our heaviest sorrow will be to face the grave (v. 18). (2) The Christian is "in Christ," and his resurrection carries ours with it. Paul's emphasis upon this term "in Christ" (vs. 18, 19, 22, 23 and else, where) is important to note. (3) Christ, the second Adam, brings life; our common human nature dies like as thle first Adam, but our second Adam rose and "in him" we live. (4) If Chrldt Qonquered deathl only for himself it was no real victory, nor could lhe give back to the Father a re deemed world. Death is the last "enemy," fon untr, sin is banished it will be present (rnm. 6:22L. Parents Shot "this Sphe SIF7Ie Laxative Compound Is to Correcif Consti pation in Children. With all children there are times when the bowels fail to act naturally and it becomes necessary for the par ents to administer a remedy. Cathar tics and purgatives should never be used as these agents afford only tem porary relief wlile their violent action shocks the system unduly. Mrs. Eva 1. Gaff, 517 10th St., Washington, D. C., says that her little girl, Marie, had been subject to constipation, and that she' found,,Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin the- best remedy because of its mild ness, and now always keeps a bottle of it in the house. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a compound of simple laxative herbs, free from opiates or narcotic drugs of any kind, and .is an ideal remedy for children because of Its mild action and positive effect.. Its use tends to strengthen the impaired bowel action and restore normal regularity. It is important that parents should know of a dependable remedy with no unpleasant after effects, griping or SO SMITH DIDN'T UET IT] Debtor was Perfectly Willing to Pay Bill, and the Arrangement Satis fied All Parties. A very angry client entered a New York lawyer's office. lie had called upon a debtor and asked him politely to pay a bill of $2.50, and had been abused for his pains. Now he wanted the lawyer to collect it. The lawyer demurred. The bill was so small that it would cost the whole amount to collect it. No matter, said the angry one. I don't care if I don't got a cent as long as that fellow has to pay it." So the lawyer wrote the debtor a let ter, and in a day or two the latter ap peared in high dodgeon. le did not owe any $2.50, and he would not pay. "Very well," said the lawyer; "then my instructions are to sue. But I should hardly think it would pay you to stand suit for so small a sun." "Who will get the money if I pay it?" asked the man. The lawyer was obliged to confess that he should. "Very well," said the debtor; that's another matter. If Smith isn't going to get it, I'm perfectly willing to pay it."-Youth's Companion. -.Power of Lightning. Lightning has been proved to have struck a building with a 'force equal to more than 12,000-horse power. A single horse power, in mechanical cal culation, is equivalent to raising F weight of 33,000 pounds one foot ir a minute. The force of lightning therefore, has been proved to be equai to the raising of 384,000,000 poundef one foot in a minute.

A Luoctor writes, "I count it a pileas ure to say a good word for Postum with which I have been enabled to re lieve so many sufferers, and which I count, with its valued companion Grape-Nuts, one of the dlaily blessings. "Coffee wvas banished from my own table some time ago and Postum used regularly in its place." (Coffee is in jurious to many persons, because it coptains the subtle, poisonous drug, caffeine.) "I frequently find it necessary to in struct patients when they take Pos. tumn for' the first time to be quite sure that it is properly made according to directions, then it has a clear, seal brown color and a rich, snappy taste, as well as health giving qualities. The above letter, received over ten years ago, is fully confirmed by a re cent letter from the doctor, in whlch he says: "It is a pleasure to render a .good report covering a product of which I am so enthusiastic a friend. "I am using in my home your Pos. turn Cereal in both its forms.
