Pull the Trigger on Constipation, and Pepsin-ize Acid Stomach Too When constipation brings on add indi« gestion, bloating, dizzy spells, gas, coated tongue, sour taste, and bad breath, your stomach is probably loaded up with cer- tainomd igested food and your bowels don’t move. So you need both. Pepsin to help break up fast that rich undigested food in your stomach, and Laxative Senna to pull the trigger on those lazy bowels. So be sure your laxative also contains Pepsin. Take Dr. Caldwell’s Laxative, because its Syrup Pepsin helps you gain that won derful stomach-relief, while the Laxative Senna moves your bowels. Tests prove the power of Pepsin to dissolve those lumps of undigested protein food which may linger in your stomach, to cause belching, gastric acidity and nausea. This is how pepsin- izing your stomach helps relieve it of such distress. At the same time this medicine wakes up lazy nerves and muscles in your bowels to relieve your constipation. So see how much better you feel by taking the laxative that also puts Pepsin to work on that stomach discomfort, too. Even fin icky children love to taste this pleasant • family laxative.

Perfection in Pie* There’s something about a piece of really good pie, with its flaky, golden-brown crust and. a filling simply oozing flavor and goodness, that makes it the crowning glory of a meal. Just a whiff of the fra grance of a juicy apple pie, or the sight of a quivery custard in a crust that crumbles at the first touch whets the appetite; and one glance at a slice of dainty chiffon pie, with its feather-light fill ing, is enough to make even a strong-willed calorie-counter forget his diet!. Making pies that achieve perfec tion isn’t as difficult as it sounds. Standardized equipment (such as measuring cups and spoons) and oven thermometers and heat control have taken the uncertainty out of measuring and baking. With a proven recipe, good ingredients, standard equipment and some easily acquired technique, any woman can make good pie and make it every time! Pointers on Making Pastry. 1 1. Unless you are making hot wa- ( ter pastry, have the ingredients for making pie crust cold. 2. Cut shortening into the flour, using a pastry blender or fork; or, if you’re an experienced cook, and work quickly, blending in the short ening with fingers is permissible. 3. Add water sparingly, using only enough to hold the ingredients to gether. Handle dough as little and as lightly as possible after adding water. 4. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured board or on a heavy canvas. Cover the rolling pin with a child’s white cotton stocking (with the foot cut off) and flouring it lightly simpli fies handling the dough. 5. Place the dough loosely in the pan to help prevent shrinking.

THE FORERUNNER OF THE KING LESSON TEXT—Matthew 3:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT—Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.—Mat thew 3:3. When an earthly king visits his dominions or makes a journey to another land, great preparations are made for his coming. Everything is done to expedite his journey and to assure him of safety and com fort. The United States and Can ada have recently had that interest ing experience. The King of kings and Lord of Lords who in loving kindness and gracious condescension had come to earth to be our Re deemer had now grown to manhood and was prepared to enter on His public ministry. God sent John to be His forerunner to prepare the way and to herald His coming. I. A Herald Prophetically Fore told (vv. 1, 3, 4). The coming of John (usually called the Baptist) was of such vi tal concern to God that He had re vealed it to His prophets hundreds of years before (see Isa. 40:3). We should study and believe the message of the prophets. The same prophecies that pointed to John the Baptist and Christ’s first coming also point to the second coming (Mai. 3:1-6; 4:1-6). We know the former took place, why should we doubt the fulfillment of the latter? We do well to take heed to the word of prophecy (II Pet. 1:19). Let us also prepare the way of the Lord, not as John did, for his was a special ministry, but by mak ing ways for the gospel to reach the hearts of men. We can remove hindrances and obstructions, prepar ing their hearts to receive Him as Saviour and Lord. II. An Unusual Man with a Burn ing Message (w. 2, 6-12). What an arresting appearance John must have made as he emerged to the edge of the wilder ness to present his startling mes sage! God had kept him (like Moses and others) in the quiet of the des ert where He could talk with him, away from the distractions of so- called civilization. This simple liv ing had made John a striking per sonality, quite unusual and uncon ventional. The man who strives for such an appearance to attract at tention is but a fool, but on the other hand unconventionality will not de stroy one’s usefulness if he has a message from God. The preaching of John was a burn ing message of repentance. There had been no prophetic message since the time of Malachi, and in the intervening 400 years the reli gious life of the Jews had settled down into a barren legalistic formal ity. John came with a simple, prac tical, and plain-spoken indictment of sin, which led to repentance and which made religion vital and real again. We know that the gospel of the grace of God in Christ goes far be yond the preaching of John. But we also know tliat the Church needs to get back to the proclamation of a vital heart-searching message, and some genuine old-fashioned repent ance. Then we like John will bring men to Christ for salvation, for sanc tification, for service. III. A Humble but Privileged Servant of Christ (vv. 13-17). The crowning event in the min istry of John was the recognition of Jesus as He came to be baptized. He was deeply conscious of his own unworthiness for this great work and pointed to the coming Saviour as the One in whom they should put their trust (vv. 11 and 14. See also John 1:29). John was not jealous of his own position, nor seeking his own advancement (see v. 3 and John 3:30). To this faithful and humble serv ant came the inestimable privilege of baptizing the Saviour. The bap tism of Jesus presents a mystery which we cannot fully solve. It is certain that He did not come to be baptized for the remission of sin, for He knew no sin. The best ex planation seems to be that in His obedience to His Father He was will ing to subject Himself to every ordi nance of God—a spirit which is not too common, by the way, among His professed followers. He was not a sinner, but He took the sinner’s place, and thus He 4both entered upon His ministry and pointed for ward to that day when God made Him “who knew no sin” to be “made sin for us” so that “we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (II Cor. 5:21). Gracious Amid Gloom Yet for all my Lord’s gloom, I find Him sweet, gracious, loving, kind; and I want both pen and words to set forth the fairness, beauty and sweetness of Christ’s love, and the honor of this cross of Christ, which is glorious to me, though the world thinketh shame thereof. — Samuel Rutherford.

The ladies were merely amused. • * • The longest term theatrical con tracts made at the present time are those issued by the Comedie Francaise, the French national theater in Paris.

Chink to Mick in Flash Hollywood tycoons are beating drums and singing words of praise these days for a man by the name of Jack Dawn. They jubilantly claim that Mr. Dawn has extend ed the possibilities of the screen a thousand-fold by creating a plas tic makeup that makes any film characterization effective. It is ac complished by the use of rubber like masks that are sensitive to all facial movements. By using the new makeup it is no unusual oc currence to make a Chinaman into an authentic Irishman in a few minutes. Writing in the Woman’s Home Companion, Mr. Dawn says that if you will give him 10 min utes you won’t recognize yourself in the mirror.

A Question Only Smith Has the Right to Ask Jones was strolling down the street when he saw ahead of him what he thought was the familiar figure of a friend. He hurried up to him and hit him a hearty thump on the back. The other turned round, and, to Jones’ horror, presented the face of a complete stranger. “I beg your pardon!” he exclaimed. “I thought you were a friend of mine. Smith by name.” The stranger recovered his breath, and answered with con siderable heat: “And suppose I was Smith, must you cripple me?” But Jones was ready for this. “And what business of yours is it,” he cried, “what I do to Smith?” MADE MET When you are cross, irritable, and grouchy; when you find fault with the coffee, the eggs, the bacon, and the cook, you may well suspect that you have a touch of biliousness or so-called “Torpid Liver,” so preva lent in hot weather.
