ANY CORN LIFTS OUT, DOESN'T HURT A BIT! No foolishness! Lift your corns and calluses off with fingers it's like magic! Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be lifted right- out with the fingers if you apply upon the corn a few drops of freezone, says a Cincinnati authority. For little cost one can get a small bottle of freezone at any drug store, which will positively rid one's feet of every corn or callus withoutpitin. This simple drug dries the moment It is applied and does not even irri tate the surrounding skin while ap plying it or afterwards. This I announcement will interest many of our readers. If your druggist hasn't any freezone tell him to surely get a small bottle for you from his wholesale drtig house.--adv. Needed His Muscles.

Help to Save Nation's Food Supply In this time of high cost of iving, ev erybody should use all possible means to prevent waste and to help save food. No one means can be more effective than a vigorous campaign to exterminate rats which destroy ov'er two hundred million dollars worth of foodstuffs annually. Keep garbage in rat-proof cans, stop up their holes, and abov'e all exterminate them with Stearns' Paste, which can be bought for a few cents at any store. A two ounce box will usually rid a house or barn ot every rat. It destroys mice, cockroaches and waterbugs as well. Adv. Faith Was Weak.

Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR OCTOBER 14. RETURNING FROM CAPTIVITY. LESSON TEXT-Ezra 1. GOLDEN TcXT-The Lord bath done great thin>s for us; whereof we are glad. -Psalms 126:3. Israel went intc captivity because of her sins. The time of her disciplinary process was about to end, as its pur pose was now accomplished: namely, the cure of Israel's idolatry. Ever since the Bahylonian captivity the He brew people have been worshipers of the one God. Monotheism hias stood forth as a vital characteristic. The main reason for the Jews' maintenance of racial identity in spite of their na tional dislocation and the breaking up of their social ties, is the unity of their faith, around the one God. I. The Proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 1-4). (1) The Time of (v. 1). The first year of Cyrus ; that is the first year after his conquest of Babylon. (2) How It Was Brought About (v. 1). The Lord stirred up his spirit. The Lord often uses very unlikely agents in the accomplishment of his purposes. There is nothing too hard for him. He can readily use a heathen king to accomplish his purpose. He ean find a Way of approach to any heart. Likely Daniel was the agent used to bring the matter to the king's attention. Daniel was still the influ ential prime minister of Babylon. i''rom his study of the prophecies of Jeremiah (Jer. 25:12; Isa. 45:1; con bare Daniel 9:2). he knew that the time was near for the return of the people to their own land, so he likely brought the matter to the attention of the king and persuaded him to thus favor his people. (3) Its Contents (vv. 2-4). (a) A confession of the true God (vv. 2, 3). He acknowledges him to be the God of heaven, the Most ilgh. the Supreme (Iod, a God of goodness. He declared, "He has given me all the kingdoms of the earth." and that God had with au thority laid upon him the charge of building him a house at .Terusalem. (b) A Generous Permission to Israel (v. S). All who desired to go up to Jerusalem and build the Lord's house were permitted to go. Ie even comi mitanded the blessing of the Lord to be upon them. (c) A Positive Co-Operation (v. 4). None were obliged to go up, but a pos itive obligation was laid upon those who did not go up to render assistance io those who did. They were to aid in the building of the house of Cod by giving money, beasts and goods. It was lore than a free-will offering, an obligation in addition thereto. The ob ligation was even wider than the peo ple of Israel. The heather were asked to render/id. II. Response to the Proclamation of Cyrus (vv. 5, 6). (1) By Israel (v. 5). Strange to say the dlecree of Cyrus was not met with great enthusiasm. Only a small anum her, chiefly fronm Judah and Benjamin, returned (v. 5). For most of thenm it meant giving up business interests, for they had set tled down to the regular callinigs of life. Besides the sacri iee of business interests it involved great risks as to the future. The en tire company, includling servants, w~as about fifty thousand (2:64). Of this ~ompanuluy we note the following divi sions ; first, chiefs of the fathers of JTudahi and Benjamin, that is magis trates ; second, priests and Levites, leaders in religion ; third, skillful ar tificers. lheadr workmen. (2) By Their Neighbors (v. 0). This response w-as apparently more hearty than that of the JTews themselves. Their neighbors gave freely of gold, sil ver, beasts and goods. God had not, only graciously disposed the heart of Cyrus toward his people, -but they found peculiar favor from their neigh hors, so that their wants were abund antly supplied. Ill. Restoration of the Sacred Ves sels (vv. 7-11). These vessels had been carried awvay to Babylon many years b efor'e. Little did Nebuchadnezzar re itze that he would put into safe keep lng the vessels which would he needed at this time. They wer~e carefully nuam he'red and turned over to the proper ,'ioers. Except for their desecration I" Belshazzair's feast, they were none the worst for hating been carried away. rThese were brought up to Jerusalem fro'm Babylon.
