At fifty, you can be in your prime. Why go along with “fairly good health” when you might be enjoying vigor you haven’t felt for years? There’s a simple little thing any one can do to keep the vital organs stimulated, and feel fit all the time. People don’t realize how sluggish they’ve grown until they’ve tried it. The stimulant that will stir your system to new life is Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin. It will make a most amazing difference in many ways. This famous doctor’s prescription is a delicious syrup made with fresh herbs, active senna, and pure pep sin. It starts its good work with the first spoonful. That’s all you need to drive away the dullness and headache of a bilious spell, $nd rid the system of that slow noisqn that saps your strength. It’s better than a tonic for tired bowels, and unlike habit-formipg laxatives you can take it freely or give it to any child. And it isn’t expensive. Get some syrup pepsin today, and take a little tonight. Don’t wait until you’re sick to give yoyr system this wonderful help. You can avoid those spells of biliousness or consti pation. A spoonful every now and then is better than constant worry about the condition of your bowels, or fear of auto-intoxication as you grow older. Dr. Caldwell’s syrup pepsin protects the system. All druggists keep Ihis preparation. ACCURACY and RELIABILITY are the points that count when you have a pres cription to be filled. You can depend on us to fill every one with utmost care, using the purest, fresh est drugs and compounds. Prices are moderate. Every sick need you may want can be found in our complete stock.

Making American citizens—future men and women, fathers-and-moth ers-to-be, bless their hearts! Which is the more outstanding, the ques- tion of “vitamines,” “calories,” “hormones,” or the problem of the boys and girls,"busy-bees of the rural class-rooms? The American boy and girl have the absolute right to normal, hon est, Christian parentage, correct physiological birth, and thereafter, good, faithful, intelligent care. If your child is a defective—a weak ens—whose fault is it? Certainly not the child’s. A parent should be a thoughtful, prayerful being. Your child has the absolute right to such a parent. Are you a slacker in your most important duty? Are you satisfied with your child’s environment and equipment in school? If not, it is your duty to get busy. A great God is watching you—the eye that neveb sleeps. Good children are a nation’s choicest treasure. If your children are not good, the chances are that the blame is yours—and how deep the blame! When your boy and girl are big enough to “do for themselves,” do you consider them “raised” and your duty done? Then you are mis taken. Your doctor will tell you that the boy and girl approaching puberty, need the advice of a true father and mother—and of a true family doctor—more than at any other time. Need I hint of the dan ger of the night rides in the automobile . . . when the most dangerous, irresistible temptations arise to overwhelm the susceptible, vascillating temper of incautious American youth? Light-minded writers may deceive themselves and their readers in to disregard of the actual peril to American boys and girls. The peril of the tryst in the automobile in the country lane, in dark hours. The ruin of today is apalling. Ask your doctor.

Rffv. Ckarles E. Du tin, Rev Chas. E. Dunn THE HOME AND THE COMING GENERATION Lesson for October 16th—Mark 10:13-16 Golden Text: Proverbs 22:6 Bruce Barton A STRONG RIGHT ARM Aithc hcight of His reputation people came to Jesus in large num bers for help, comfort, and inspiration. Some brought their sick to be those simpler days. healed. Others, as our lesson tefls us, presented their children for His gracious touch. The short-sighted disciples objected, glaringly failing to appreciate their Master’s mind. They felt He must not be bothered by the noisy attentions of small tots. How stupid! The Master was angered over this lack of insight. He felt perfectly at heme with children. Who understood them better? And who understood Him better? How receptive are children! Simple and confiding, they possess to ftte full God’s Kingdom in their hearts. They are the meek who in- luerit the earth. They live in the great realities. No wonder Jesus blessed them, announcing that only those may enter the Realm of the Sternal who cultivate the upward-looking, open-hearted, child-like spirit. Now this atmosphere of perfect sympathy and trust the Master breathed’upon children is one we cherish for the Christian home. Un- Jortunafcely the modern family too often reveals a disturbing inner con flict and strain. Furthermore, modem life is so fashioned that parents are largely separated from their offspring. The tendency is to farm them out to the school, the Church, the camp, or the Scout troop. A real divorce between the interests of the older and younger generations is thereby encouraged. There is ; great need for a revival of the family circle, with parents and children creatively working together in education, the fine arts, politics, and religion. Let me suggest definite religious practices. Consider daily prayer. There is no reason why the members of the family, young and old, should not join in prayer together every day, even if they but repeat the Lord’s Prayer. Grace should also always be said at the table. Again, Bible stories can be read to the children in the home. Above all, every parent should strive to keep the at mosphere of the faociUg group true to the light of the Christian ideal. Stung by his taunt, Jesus’ accusers hesitated when he told them by what authority he had driven the money-changers from the Temple, and in their moment of hesitation were lost. The soldiers tiifned their backs; it was nothing that they cared about. But the crowd burst forth in a mighty cheer and rushing forward bore him out of the Tem ple, the priests and the money-changers scurrying before him. Th^t night his action was the talk of the town. It is a very familiar story, much preached upon and pictured. But almost invariably the pictures show Jesus with a halo around his head, as though that was the explanation of his triumph. The truth is so much simpler and more impressive. There was, in his eyes, a flaming moral purpose; and greed and oppression have always shriveled before such fire. But with the majesty of Jesus’ glance there was something else which counted powerfully in his favor. As his right arm rose and fell, striking its blows with that little whip, the sleeve dropped back to re veal muscles hard as iron. No one who watched him in action had any doubt that he was fully capable of taking care of himself. No flabby priest or money-changer cared to try conclusions with that^arm. There are those to whom it will seem almost irreverent ,to suggest that Jesus was physically strong. They think of him as a voice, a pres ence, a spirit; they never feel the rich contagion of his laughter, nor remember how heartily he enjoyed good food, nor think of what his years of hard toil must have done to his arms and back and legs. Look for a minute at those first thirty years. There was no soft bed for his mother on the night he entered the world. He was brought forth in a stable, amid animals and the ani- mal-like men who tended them. When Jesus was still an infant the family hurried away into Egypt. On the long trip back, some years later, he was judged old enough to walk, for there were younger children; and so, day after day, he trudged beside the little donkey, a hard life. Early in his boyhood Jesus, as the eldest son, went into the family carpenter shop. The practise of carpentry was no easy business in Doubtless the man who took a contract for a house assumed responsibilities for digging into the rough hillside for its foundations; for felling trees in the forest, and shaping them with an adze. In after years those who listened to the talk of Jesus by the Sea of Galilee; and heard him speak of the “man who built his* house upon a rock” had no doubt that he knew what he was talking about. Some of them had seen him bending his strong clean shoulders to deliver heavy blows. So he “w r axed strong” as the narrative tells us—a phrase which has rather been buried under the too-frequent repetition of “the meek and lowly” and “the lamb.” Next Week: A Career Opens Up. . . .
