Bonedry has largely made the joke with “hie” in it obsolete. Hie Jacet. He beat the train to the crossing a good many times "It’s never touched me yet," he explained when they pointed out the risks. * >-'«' v * *•» That’s the answer a good many people make when they hear that the drug element in tea and coffee often harms nerves and health. They say it’s never touched them yet. Sometimes they only think it hasn’t. Wakeful nights, drowsy days, headaches that keep com ing more fre- quently—often are blamed on §§1® _ bad luck when . the blame be- longs on bad judgment in taking needless chances with harm. Over on the safe side is Postum, a pure cereal beverage, delicious and satisfying — con taining nothing that can harm nerves or digestion. Thousands who used to try their luck with tea or coffee are enthusiastic over having found safety and satis faction in Postum. It’s worth your while to make the test with Postum for ten days. Postum is a delightful drink for any member of the family, at any meal. Your grocer has both forms of Postum: Instant Postum (in tins) made instantly in the cup by the addition of boiling water.

Ski-Jump on Citadel Hill in Quebec Is Famous IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SimdaySchool 'Lesson” (By REV. P. B. FITS WATER, D. D., Teacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 12 A perfect take-off from the Ski-jump on (lie shoulder of Citadel hill in Quebec. The jump overlooks the famous three-track toboggan slide that runs the length of Dufferin Terrace. U. S. Experts Get Small Salaries Director Jones Tells of Hardships of' an Employee of the Geodetic Survey. TELLS OF ACTUAL CONDITIONS One Technical Man Forced to Get Supper Every Night for Self and Children While Wife Works to Meet Expenses. Washington.—One of the technical men of the coast and geodetic survey ’ has been compelled on account of low salaries, to prepare liis and his chil dren’s supper each night while his wife works i order to meet the needs of the family, and prepare his and the children’s breakfast and put up his own lunch, while his wife rests for the night’s work again. This Instance is sighted by Col. E. Lester Jones, director of the survey, in his annual report to the secretary of commerce, made public recently, as pointing to the crying need of reclas sification of salaries in the government service, and especially in his bureau, says the Washington Star. Calls Salaries “Deplorable.” “Isn’t It deplorable, and would it be tolerated anywhere outside of the gov ernment?” asks the director. “There are many more such cases. How long must this go on?” Expressing the belief that both the government and the employees would be gainers from the early adoption of higher salaries, Colonel Jones suys: “Under such conditions neither the government nor the outside employer can have the services of a vigorous, wide-awake, self-reliant worker, but must put urp with a man whose energy has been partly spsat, and a continu ance of this practice for a certain pe riod results invariably in the run down, over-worked, nervous and Irrita te or dejected employee. It would be far more profitable for the government to pay a higher salary and obtain the best efforts of the employees for a more productive day. “I cannot emphasize too strongly that unless this fundamental trouble is soon corrected a disintegration of the service will continue, with disas trous results of which the government and the public will feel the effect for years to come. The question is, will the pledge given some years ago, con tinually repeated and as often post poned with the usual excuses, be kept now with the men who are the back bone of our federal institutions or will the unredeemed promises continue to prevail? “I have given you the above facts frankly, without obscuring the actual conditions, just us a manager would submit them to the head of a large business concern. “In this bureau we are endeavoring to give tlie public a salable article, but with "these handicaps the output is produced under unnecessary difficul ties which mean delay and waste.” The director of the bureau cites the need for a new building to house the Washington office and chart printing plant of the bureau. Quoting from the report: “The bureau is operating in eight buildings, five larger and three small er, all but two more or less detached and connected as far as is feasible by communicating bridges. Two of the main buildings were designed and built for dwellings and one of them was used for that purpose. One of the smaller buildings was built for and used as a stable, and another two of the main buildings were designed and construct ed for use as a hotel uud were rented to the government for the use of this bureau from 1871 to 1891, when they were sold to the government to house part of this bureau. “As its work centers largely In the construction and production of nautical charts and It is therefore a manufac tory, the bureau operates under a sig nal handicap in buildings so little suited to its needs. It is a matter of economy to provide a respectable building for this service—It is waste to continue under existing conditions." The director also points out the need of more extended current observations, to the lack of which is attributed the loss of many vessels and lives. Took Man and His Job to the Police Station George E. Mason, of New Yorfc City, needed a couple of assistant .safe-crackers to carry out a little job he had in mind, so he approached two strangers loafing in the Pennsylvania rail road terminal, and offered them the position. The strangers hap pened to be detectives. In a few moments Mason was in a police station charged with possessing burglars’ tools. WILL STAKE ELLESMERE LAND Interior Department Plans to Send Exploring Expedition to Arctic Region Next Summer. Washington.—The department of In- terior of the Canadian government Is making plans for the organization of a scientific expedition into the Arctic region next summer to explore Elles mere land. A report received states that nomi nally Ellesmere Land belongs to Can ada, but owing to the abundance of game and whale fishing there, Den mark has cast a longing eye upon It and that Americans also have been attracted to the new country. For these reasons, It is declared, Cnnada will establish a strong cordon of mounted police to stop all specula tion and exploitation and establish Canadian ownership in fact as well as in letter. Ninety Days for Stealing Dime. Detroit, Mich.—Convicted of steal ing a dime from a newsboy, Oscar Yukman has been sentenced to serve 90 days in the workhouse and pay a fine of $100. ACCIDENTS ARE LAID TO U. S. PEP Enormous Increase in Berlin Street Mishaps Shown Since Before War. Berlin.—The fact that street acci dents in Berlin have increased 600 per cent since 1913 has led to the sugges tion that one of the causes may be the apparent effort to put American, “pep” into the city’s everyday life. One news paper writer asserts Berliners have be come too busy to greet friends in pass ing, that the spirit of hustle is disturb ing the general routine, and that the citizens on the whole are growing nervous. He deprecates “the attempt to make Berlin street life look like Forty-second street and Broadway.” Official reports say most of the acci dents are due to speeding automobiles and careless pedestrians, “who step off the sidewalks and walk the streets in every direction without once looking to see if they are in the way of ve hicular traffic.” There is no ordinance regulating pe- * Giving Children a Weigh in Washington destrlnn traffic. Even at the more crowded intersections the people cross the streets at will, taking their chances with the automobiles, street cars, om nibuses, trucks and horse cabs. There are no traffic policemen in the German metropolis, but it has been decided to establish such force. Meantime the “security police” are doing this duty. The bicycle habit is very popular with all classes, and particularly with the police, who ride in squad forma tion. It is not uncommon to see a man rigged out in top hat and evening clothes riding his “bike” to the theater. 4 s Every child in Washington up to six years old will be given a \weigh by the Child Welfare society, and statistics compiled as to the general health of children in the District of Columbia.

J.—Postmaster Jo seph Liebeskind, of Pine Brook, N. J., took a far shorter short cut than he intended recently and vows that he’ll never take another. The last few seconds of his short cut over Hook mountain were the longest he ever lived through. He was on his way to visit a rela tive on the other side of the mountain and decided to climb over it instead of following the road around. He found the summit of the ridge bare of snow, however, and glazed with ice. Moreover, there was a gradually In creasing siape toward the 100-foot cliff on the far side. Down this slope the* postmaster coasted with increasing speed until he shot over the edge of the cliff with a velocity which carried 1dm fifteen or twenty feet past the brink. This enabled him to clear a heap of rock debris at the foot of the precipice, and lie landed in a fifteen-foot snow drift, which engulfed him completely. Wilbur Colyer saw the postmaster’s spectacular dive and went to the drift with a shovel. After the postmaster had been dug out and examined by a physician he went on to ills relative’s by the road. AMOS WARNS ISRAEL (TEMPER. ■ ANCE LESSON) LESSON TEXT-Amos 6:1-8. GOLDEN TEXT—Wine Is a mocker, i Btrong drink is raging; and whosoever Is deceived thereby is not wise.—Prov. 20:1. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Isa. 5:11, 12, 22, 23; 28:1-13; Hosea 4:11; Gal. 5:19-21. ^PRIMARY TOPIC—God Sends Amos on an Errand. JUNIOR TOPIC-A Prophet Who Was a Friend to the Poor. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -The Consequences of Self-Indulgence. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —Social Evils Yet to Be Conquered. The kingdom of Israel readied a I higli state of prosperity in the time of j Jeroboam II, and With it came a con- I dition of luxury, corruption and wickedness. The judgment woe of tills lesson is directed ugainst the sins of the upper classes in Samaria. The same sins are practiced in America, in the nation and in the cliurdh. With the increase of wealth in America lias come luxury, corruption and gross wickedness which staggers the imagination. It behooves all to give a listening ear, for God will eventually enter into judgment. Our lesson is a temperance lesson. Temper ance applies to other things than in dulgence in intoxicating liquor. Our age is intoxicated with pleasure, pur suit of gain and selfish ambition. 1. Reckless Security (vv. l-.”»). They were blind to the perils l hat sur rounded them. They were living in a fool’s ptiradise, closing their eyes to the approaching storm of judg nent as predicted by Amos. They tr .sted in the mountains of Samaria f-r their protection. They regarded tl eir city as impregnable. They no c >ubt re garded the utterance of Ann > as im practicable—the dreams of a fanatic. The tragic thing about this blindness on the part of the chief ones of the nation was they were so puffed up with pride that they failed to read the signs of the times in the light of history (v. 2.) The cities of Calneli and Hamath, though great and mighty, had fallen. To disregard the lessons of history, to dismiss the thought of impending judgment, is to bring near the “seat of violence” (v. 3). Let chaotic Europe and Russia be the red lights of warning to America, and let all injustice and class selfishness be laid aside. II. Luxury (vv. 4-6). The luxury of these upper classes in Samaria expressed itself in: 1. Extrav agant furniture (v. 4). They had beds of ivory—perhaps wood inlaid with ivory. Costly as their furniture was in that day, it was commonplace as com pared to some of the expensive furni ture and fittings in our great cities. 2. Laziness (v. 4). They stretched themselves upon their couches—lived lives of indolence. Such is the way of imuly still. 3. Feasted on delicacies (v. 4). The implication here is that they had their dainties out of season. This is what many of the rich pride themselves in. 4. Adorn their feasts with music (v. 5). They sang idle songs—even in vented musical instruments for this purpose. They prostituted the noble art of music to their sensual feasts. 5. They drank wine (v. 6). They were not content with ordinary drink ing vessels. They drank from bowls, indicating excessive drinking. They were so mastered by the intoxicating cup 5 that their feasts which were adorned with the refinements of music ’•ended.iii drunkenness. III. Failure to Grieve for Joseph '(v. 6). Joseph here stands for Ephraim and Manasseh, his two- sons. Eph raim became the principal tribe of the northern kingdom, so Joseph is used as a synonym for the nation. The upper classes were indulging in these effeminate luxuries, entirely indifferent to the groanings of tlie masses. And whenever such a condition exist in a nation there is need of Amos to thunder God’s judgment upon those who are guilty of it IV. The Inevitable Issue (vv. 7,8). 1. They shall go into captivity (y. 7). The northern nation was first in sin, therefore first to go into captivity. What a striking contrast this picture! Instead of lying on fvory couches feasting upon dainties, they are with j the suffering exiles. 2. The certainty of the issue (v. 8). It is Inevitable because of God’s na ture. He is a God of justice. He i has sworn that judgment shall fall. He is tlie God of hosts—tlie controller of the whole universe, therefore none can escape. Gdd hates the wickedness j of tlie world, and He will bring into judgment the men and women who revel in luxury with no concern for the poor and needy. Though God waits long, He does not forget. Tlie : only escape for America is repentance. ; SHE DYED A SWEATER, SKIRT AND CHILD’S COAT WITH “DIAMOND DYES’’ Each package of “Diamond Dyes” con tains directions so simple any woman can dye or tint her worn, shabby dresses, skirts, waists, coats, stockings, sweaters, coverings, draperies, hangings, everything, even if she has never dyed before.

An elderly French spinster died, leaving a will bequeathing most of her property to charity and a substantial sum to*“my silent, sympathetic and best-loved friend, Minnette.” Min- nette was her cat. A Frenchman was moved by this incident to investigate the subject and he found that cats, among all animals, have most frequent ly been made legatees. In 1671 a noted player on the harp and flute, Jeanne Felix Dupuis, en joined her executor to give the keeper of two cats 30 sous a week for their food, which she specified should be meat broth, “of the kind we ourselves eat, rich and sufficient without being eked out by bread crumbs, and served upon individual plates, belonging one to each cat.” Her relatives broke the will, and this provision of separate plates for the pussies was a point upon which they strongly dwelt In the attempt to prove that her mind was enfeebled.

A Youngstown man was an enthusi astic spectator at the Kentucky Derby. Having little knowledge of the sport and desirous of placing a small bet just for the excitement of the thing, he looked over the list of contenders until his eye rested on “Behave Your self.” The Youngstown man, as the news reports have since told the world, was among those who “cleaned up.” be cause Behave Yourself was the Derby winner. “How In the world did you happen to pick a winner?" asked a friend. “I had a hunch." “Hunch V “Yes.

Bonedry has Her Class. The mistress was rather alarmed over her new girl’s sudden illness un til the latter explained maters. “Yot see, mum,” she said. ”1 wasn't feel inf well and I went to the closet, and therd was a bottle marked ’Three drops rtf an infant, six for an adult, and a ten- spoonful for an emetic.’ I knew I wasn't an Infant.
