"When I would get constipated, I’d feel so sleepy, tired and worn-out. "When one feels this way, work is much harder to do, especially farm work. I would have dizzy headaches when I could hardly see to work, but after I read of Black-Draught, I began tak ing it. I did not have the headaches any more. "When I have the sluggish, tired feeling, I take a few doses of Black-Draught, and it seems to carry off the poison and I feel just fine. I use Black-Draught at regu lar intervals. It is easy to take and I know it helps me.” This medicine is compos ed of pure botanical roots and herbs. Contains no chemi cals. In 25-cent packages.

All express keen sympathy with the purpose of the conference which is to develop a common un- derstanding of the importance of forests and the practice of com mercial forestry to the welfare of the entire state. .... # -» . ; • K • Among those wWd have accepted places as county chairmen or mem bers of the state-wide committee are: Dr. S.

The farmer is interested di rectly because his woodlot is an im portant feature of a comprehensive forestry program and because com mercial forestry offers him a di versification of crops which will utilize his waste land to 'advantage. He also has a better local outlet for his crops to the towns built around a wood using industry. The owner [of cut-lands is interested in a com mercial forestry conference be cause he can point out the difficulr ties of fire prevention and unfair taxation in practising forestry. The persons and corporations engaged in logging operations are interest ed in the conference because log ging methods will be thoroughly analyzed and it will be shown how to leave cut-over lands in a mar ketable condition.” | Every other interest in the state should be anxious to back the movement, Mr.,Guion declared, be cause it is of vital. importance to every citizen in tested in the wel fare of the state/ 33 m This Week b Arthur Brissanb Comfort in Bigness There Is Improvement Canaries’ Malaria Radio Fights Poison Sometimes, whGn things seem to go wrong, it is a comfort to be reminded that nothing matters very much. If the earth fell toward the sun it would melt like a flake of snow falling on a red-hot stove long before it could reach the sun. And if, in turn, our gigantic sun, a million times as big as the earth, fell toward some of the really big suns in space, it also would melt before it could reach that sun’s surface. Professor Shapley, with his fore head high and his ears low down, the best arrangement, tells you that Har vard observatory has found and meas ured “about 18,(XX) new galaxies, each an island universe.” An island universe contains millions of suns. One little group, called the “Large Magellanic,” has 200,000 suns, every one 150 times brighter than our sun, and 2,000 suns that are ‘10,000 times as bright as ours. Under such circumstances, wall you please tell us what difference it makes whether Anaconda copper goes up or down? It says in Ecclesiastes: 4 *A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be.” Nevertheless, men of wisdom tell us that better conditions have started al ready. Mr. Lamont, secretary of commerce, sees a distinct upturn in business, and, also important, the conductor of one of the busiest Central Railroad of New Jersey trains says: *T know times are getting better. I can see it In the faces of passengers, business men that have traveled with me for years.” Two thousand Scientists gathered at Cleveland continue their contribution of amazing information. > ' Canary birds have a peculiar ma laria of their .own. German scientists investigating this disease developed plasmochin, a drag that cures human beings. The' * new remedy is a syn thetic product, called by chemists ”N- dieth yhuninoiaopentyl-8-amino -6 - meth- oxy-quinoline,” which you should re member in case you want to order some. Our problems are trifling compared with those of Great Britain. A Labor government that ? was to find employ ment for all has twice as many idle men on its- hands as when it started, and for nine months of the fiscal year ljust ended has a deficit of $903,000,000 —$53,000,000 more than a year ago. v Many hffve shivered with fear lest a comet should strike the earth. It probably wouldn’t do much harm If it did and you would know nothing about it except that, if a comet did sidewipe our atmosphere in passing, you would detect a strong smell of almonds. ^ Science finds in the tails of comets “cyanogen,” which has the almond smell. v Bacteriologists are told that violent diphtheria poison, the t<«tin carrying the disease that has killed so many ^ millions of children, has been success fully attacked by treatment with short radio waves. - These waves, with a frequency of from 80,000,000 to 158,000,000 per sec ond, reduce the strength of the poison by one-half. It is difficult to exag gerate the importance of this scientific announcement. With flints, bows and arrows and high-powered rifles, men have suc ceeded after 25,000,000 years in con quering their huge four-footed ene mies—tigers, Hons and bears. They may be able now to destroy their in visible and infinitely more deadly microscopic enemies with elective projectiles. While deeply religious believer* knelt in- the snow, praying, soldiers of the Russian government tore down a cathedral on the bank of the Dnieper river, making bonfires of sacred pic tures, images and vestments of priests This action of Russia’s government comes under the heading “worse than a crime, a blunder.” In old days, a man with $1,000,000 was a “millionaire.” That modest pit tance no longer means anything. A “millionaire,” in the new financial lan guage/;ls^ one h’ftoflias $1,000,000 or more of yearly income. In 1928, 511 Americans told Uncle Sam they had incomes of $1,000,- 000 or more. Several have $50,000,000 a year, and at least two or three have more. They represent the beginning of our billionaire class. There are probably six, certainly four, men in theJLTnlted States worth a billion. A report of General Foods com- pany for 1930, issued by Colby M Chester, president, shows that its bus! ness increased many millions in 1930 thanks to aggressive advertising, plus good management. And best news of all, no workers have been discharged and no ways reduced. The man who advertises courageous !y in a time of depression may set his profits diminish temporarily, hut he holds his business and the loss in profit is not ns great as it would be without the advertising.

Lesson for January 18 THE MINISTRY OF JOHN THE BAPTIST LESSON TEXT—Luke 3:7-20 GOLDEN TEXT—Bring forth there fore fruits worthy of repentance, ami begin not to say within yourselves. We have Abraham to our father: for I sav unto you. That God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. PRIMARY TOPIC—Jesus and John the Baptist. JUNIOR TOPIC—Jesus and John the Baptist. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—A Courageous Reformer. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Message of John the Baptist. I. 1'he Degeneracy of the Times (vv. J, 2). The Jews had sunk to a very low level of civil, moral and religious life. Luke carefully enumerates the civil and religions rulers in order to show the profligacy of the times and there fore the need of a messenger to call the people back to Gofi and virtue. Caesar has been described as “talent ed, ambitious, •cruel, licentious, infa mous, inhuman.” Civil rule was di vided between four of Rome’s vas sals. Pontiua. Pilate a little later at tained notoriety by unjustly and in a cowardly manner condemning Jesus to death. Herod, the koh of Herod the Great, was a murderer. Annas and Caiaphas were corrupt ecclesiastical rulers. II. The Nature" of John’s Ministry {vv 3-6). Out of^the wilderness John fiasheu forth, preaching the baptism of re pentance for the remission of sins (v. 3). The baptism was a sign of repentance. His ministry is declared to be a fulfillment of Isaiah’s proph ecy* He is .described,as one calling upon the nation to prepare for the coming of the Messiah. The only hope for the world -is- God’s salvation through Jesus Christ. The valleys ;of righteousness need to be filled. The mountains and bills of sin need to be brought low. The erooiced ways of commerce need to W straightened, aq^j, the rough ways of society and na tions need to be smoothed. men accept Jesus Christ "and all w3ff and contention will end. Men will then love each other. III. Ths Contsnt of John’s Message (vv. 7-18). 1. A denunciation of sin (vv. 7, 8). He called the people “a generation of vipers.” He charged them with being essentially wicked and deceitful. Knowing the, subtle hypocrisy of these Jews, he demanded evidence of their sincerity. 2. An announcement of judgment (v. 9.) He declared that the ax was laid at the root of the tree and that the tree not bringing forth fruit was to be hewn down and east into the fire. John made it very plain that for their sins they should be called into judgment. To be brought face to face with judgment lias a sobering effect upon men. Paul’s preaching of a judgment to come made Felix tremble (Acts 24:25). While John preached sin and judgment, be accompanied it with the assurance of pardon on con dition of repentance. 3. Instructions to the inquirers (vv. 10-14). (1) The people (vv. 30, 11). Each man was to turn from his be setting sin and show love and kind ness to his fellow men. Clothing and food were to be given to those who had need. The people were to turn from a life of selfishness and greed and do unto others as they would he done by. (2) Publicans (vv. 12, 13). These taxgatherers who were guilty of greed and oppression were not asked to give up their occupation, but to ex act only that which was appointed by law. (3) The soldiers (v. 14). These were probably the policemen of that day, at least men on military duty. They were to refrain from false accu sation and doing violence to men, and to be content with their wages. 4. Testimony to Jesus (vv. 15-18). The people were musing in their hearts as to whether John was indeed the Messiah. When John perceived this he, with fine humility, declared that his mission was so lowly by compari son with that of Christ that he would be unworthy to perform the menial act of a slave in loosing the lachet of his shoes. John baptized with water, but Christ would bqptige with the Holy Ghost and with fire. IV. John’s Imprisonment (vv. 39, 20). Because of his reproof of Herod for his lewdness and other sins, John went to the dungeon and eventually was beheaded. God’s faithful prophets are usually despised by the world, and some.are even imprisoned, burned, or beheaded. Faith It is the wind that carries the ship across the waves; but the wind is pow erless unless the hand of the boatman is held firmly upon the rudder, and that rudder Is set hard against the wind. This is the attitude of steadfast faith to divine omnipotence. Wt hold the rudder ^ God fills the sails. It is not the rudder that carries the ship, but it Js.the rudder*which catches the wind which carries the ship. And so God keeps us In perfect peace while we are stayed In him.—A. B. Simpson.
