To Alkalize Stomach Quickly
On all sides, people are learning that
the way to gain almost incredibly
quick relief, from stomach condition
arising from overacidity, is to alka-
lize the stomach quickly with Phil
lips* Milk of Magnesia.
You take either two teaspoons of
the liquid Phillips* after meals; or
two Phillips' Milk of Magnesia Tab
lets. Almost instantly "acid indiges
tion” goes, gas from hyperacidity,
"acid - headaches” — from over-in
dulgence in food or smoking — and
nausea are relieved.
Try this Phillips’ way if you have
any acid stomach upsets. You will be
surprised at results. Get either the
Uquid "Phillips” or the remarkable,
new Phillips' Milk of Magnesia
Tablets. Only 25<f for a big box of
tablets at drug stores.

“Hot Water War” Leader
•‘CHAY’S REBELUON” and the
^ "Whiskey Rebellion” are the
outstanding examples of minor
"wars” which soipehow manage to
get into our school histories. But
most of them overlook the "Hot
Water War*' and its leader, John
Fries. Yet he was a very important
figure in the early history of our
nation and more particularly in 1798
when we were about to go to war
with France.
In order to raise money for an
army to fight this war, if it came,
congress enacted a direct tax law.
known as the "house tax,*’—20 cents
per $100 on houses valued at $200
to $500 and 30 cents on houses val
ued at $500 to $1,000 The value of
the houses was determined by
counting the number of windows
and measuring them.
In Pennsylvania especially was
there resentment against this tax.
When assessors went around to
measure the windows on houses,
the women threw open these win
dows and poured scalding water on
the officials, hence the name "Hot
Water War."
It was also called “Fries Rebel
lion'* because the leader of resist
ance to collection of the tax was
John Fries, a veteran of the Revo
lution (who had also helped sup
press the Whiskey Rebellion in
Pennsylvania!) He was a traveling
auctioneer and this occupation gave
him a good opportunity to harangue
the people and urge them to resist
collection of the house tax. More
than that, he raised a force of
armed men who chased assessors
from township to township, forcibly
released prisoners, who had been
put in jail for resisting the tax col
lectors, and in general kept the
eastern part of the state in an up
roar.
Finally President Adams called
on the governor of Pennsylvania to
call out militia to suppress the riot
ers. Fries was captured and taken
to Philadelphia to be tried for trea
son. His attorneys insisted that he
was answerable only to a charge of
rioting, but a federal jury found him
guilty of treason and he was sen
tenced to be hanged. Then Benja
min Franklin Bache, editor of the
Aurora, a Republican (Democratic)
paper, and bitter critic of the ad
ministration, took up Fries' case
He raised such a fearful row about
it that it became a national issue
At last. President Adams was led
to pardon Fries and after that the
leader of the short-lived "Hot Wa
ter War" dropped out of sight and
is lost to history.
The First “Muckraker”
rARLY one morning in the late
1820s a comedy was enacted on
the banks of the Potomac river near
Washington which is without paral
lel in American history. Enter the
first character: a swimmer, sans
bathing suit or any other raiment.
He is no less a person than the
President of the United States, for
it was the custom of John Quincy
Adams to go for an early-morning
swim in that historic stream.
Enter now the second character:
an old woman, poorly dressed, cur
rying a huge umbrella, an mkhorn
and quill pen and some paper. She
marches out to where the sw ; m-
mcr's clothes lie on the bank nnd
sits down beside them. The swim
mer sees her, hastily sits down in
the water until only his head is visi
ble. "Go away! Go aw«»yl’’ he
shouts.
"Not until you answer some ques
tions, sir!" the woman replies.
John Quincy Adams rages. He
threatens. He pleads. But it’s no
use. The woman not only refuses
to budge but she makes him come
closer to the bank so that she
can hear more plainly what he has
to say. And thus Anne Royall, edi
tor of the Huntress (appropriate
name, that!) and "Grandma of the
Muckrakers” forced Adams to ex
plain to her his national bank pol
icy, then the most important pub
lic question of the day. It was one
of the first Presidential interviews
and undoubtedly the most unusual
one ever given.
But that was characteristic of
Anne Royall. Left a poor widow
when her husband, a Revolution
ary war veteran died, Anne Royall
went to Washington to claim a wid
ow’s pension. While waiting to col
lect it, she bought an old printing
press, hired a printer and began
publishing a small weekly newspa
per which she called the Paul Pry
Journal. In it she fearlessly printed
everything that she considered
news, regardless of how much it
embarrassed public officials.
They tried to hit back at her by
having her tried as a common
scold, but John Eaton, President
Jackson’s secretary of war, fur
nished bond for her (mainly be
cause she had been an ardent de
fender of Peggy Eaton in the so
cial war then raging). She changed
the name of her paper to the Hunt
ress but she didn’t cnange its char
acter and to the end of her days in
IBM she was a crusading journai-

tion. and the life. John 11:2S.
PRIMARY TOPIC — When Jesus’ Friends

The Power of Jesus over Death.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIO-
The Power of Jesus over Death.
Life, even to the follower of Jesus
Christ, has its hours of sorrow, suf
fering, and bereavement. While the
Christian is not "of the world,” he
is "in the world," jmd here he must
meet the problems of life, including
the evils to which the flesh is heir
because of sin.
The fact that Jesus is our friend
and our Saviour does not exempt
us from human sorrow, but it does
assure us of the needed grace to
bear the trial and to trust Him even
in life’s darkest hour.
Lazarus, the friend of Jesus, was
sick. The home in which Jesus had
found rest and fellowship was in
deep trouble. Jesus was no longer
in Judea. In haste word is sent to
him of his friend’s illness. But he
does not come.
Why does he delay? Such is the
heart-cry of thousands today who
call on him in their hour of trouble.
The purposes of God are beyond
our ability fully to understand. We
need but to trust him and abide his
time. Notice that his failure to re
spond at once to the message of
Lazarus’ sisters did not mean that
lie had deserted them (11:4-6). Nor
did it mean that he had denied
them his help (11:7). Lazarus may
have been dead before the word
reached him. He may also have
delayed in order that there might
be no question about the resurrec
tion miracle. And he may have
tarried in order that their faith
might be strengthened.
Above all, do not fail to notice
that he came. He always does. Jesus
has never failed any child of his.
The time and the manner of his
answer to our prayers may not con
form to our opinion of what should
have been done, but let us remem
ber that we know only in part, he
knows all. Let us trust him. Job
in his darkest hour said, *’Though
he slay me. yet will I trust in him.”
(Job 13:15).
It is suggested that the lesson for
today be studied and taught by
considering three pain of words
giving cause and effect.
I. Death—Sorrow (w. 32-35; also
w. 19-21).
Try as we may to temper its
cruel blow, the fact remains that
death is the enemy of man. It came
into the world as the result of sio
(Rom. 5:12), and only in Christ is
it "swallowed up in victory” (I Cor.
15:54). Until the glorious day of
Christ’s returning when the redemp
tion of the body will be complete
(Rom. 8:23), death will still be the
enemy whic4i brings sorrow to the
heart and tears to the eyes.
But let us not fail to notice that
as the friends of Jesus we do not
sorrow alone. He is with us. "Jesus
wept” (v. 35) with Martha and
Mary. He weeps with us in our
trying hour. He is the "friend that
sticketh closer than a brother."
II. Faith—Hope (w. 23-28).
Those who believe in Christ have
more than the comfort of his sym
pathizing presence—they have a
sure hope. Read I Thessalonians
4:14-18. Sorrow and unbelief would
becloud our faith and thus rob us
of our hope. Martha needed to have
her faith stimulated by the gracious
words of the Lord, and then she
triumphantly puts her ho^e in him
as “the Christ of God.” Once we
recognize him as God, we have no
hesitation in believing in his mi
raculous power.
HI. Christ—Resurrection (w. 25,
26, 38-44).
Majestic and authoritative are the
words of Christ, “I am the resur
rection and the life.” He it was who
gave life, for was he not "in the
beginning with God”? And is it not
said of him that "all things were
made by him”? And Paul tells us
that "by him all things consist.”
He is the only one who could say,
"I lay down my life. I have power
to lay it down and I have power to
take it up again.” (John 10:17, 18.)
So it can rightly be said that if we
have Christ we have everything—
both in this world and in the world
to come. But if we do not have
Christ we have nothing. We are
without God and without hope.
One can sense the urgency of the
soul-winner’s task, when this truth
is known and realized.
Happiness and Love
Happiness is the legitimate fruit
age of love and aervice. It never
comes and never can come by mak
ing it an end, and it is because so
many perrons mistake here and
seek for it directly, instead of loving
and serving God, and thus obtain
ing it, that there is so much dis
satisfaction and sorrow.
That lift is only truly free which
rules and suffices for itself—Bui-

Companion squares in filet cro
chet make the loveliest household
accessories. A square at a time
made in spare moments—time
you’ll never miss—and before you
Know it you’ll be ready to join
them for a cloth or scarf. As a
bedspread, too, this design will be
a winner. Use string—it’s easy to
work with, inexpensive, lovely
when done, and wears like iron.
If it’s gifts you’re thinking of, use
a finer cotton and make a pillow
top, vanity set or other small ar
ticles that take but a few squares.
In pattern 5738 you will find in
structions and charts for making
the squares shown; an illustration
of them and of the stitches used;
