SENATOR STEPHENSON, WHO DEFIES AGE
and hard men in the camps, and maybe we did suffer for want of a
preacher. In the logging season we had hundreds of men, and my principal
job was to keep our crews in good shape. The saw and the axe make trou
ble in the woods, not only for trees, but for men, and I have been called on
to bind and sew hundreds of wounds.”
Mr. Stephenson says that a long life and a simple life go hand in hand.
“As a young man, I traveled across the snow twenty odd miles a day, he
said. “I swung a five-pound axe from dawn till dark. I slept in a blanket
in the .snow, ate crackers and pork and drank snow water, and was as
healths as a bear.”
CASTRO MAY DESCEND UPON VENEZUELA
Information received in this country
by adherents of Cipriano Castro, de
posed president of Venezuela, not only
indicate that he Is in the Canary is
lands, but that he is completing ar
rangements for another descent upon
Venezuela. That this project may
prove successful this time, because of
the open hostility to President Gomez,
now dangerously approaching revolu
tion, is considered to be almost cer
tain by Venezuelans who have made
New York city their headquarters for
several months.
It was not generally known that
Castro had left Germany, where, five
weeks ago, he submitted to an opera
tion. He spent several days In Berlin
while recuperating and then disap
peared.
Despite the efforts of agents of Pres
ident Gomez to locate the irrepres
sible agitator, his whereabouts were
not discovered until a few days ago,
when his supporters in New York, all
of whom have been exiled by President Gomez, received letters from the erst
while president revealing his purpose to return to South America incognito at
the earliest opportunity.
According to Antonio Jose Sanchez, for many years the private secretary
of Castro, and who lives in New York, Gen. A. Pimentel, who was minister
of finance under President Gomez, is en route to that city to join the Vene
zuelan junta now operating there, not so much in the interest of Castro, but
to overthrow President Gomez, who, it is now declared, has developed into
a far more dangerous dictator than Castro was accuse-d of being.
POPE PIUS X NINE YEARS A RULER

YOSHIHITO, NEW JAPANESE EMPEROR
The new - emperor of Japan, the
Mikado Yoshihito, faces a gigantic
task as he steps into the place made
vacant by his remarkable father, the
Emperor Mutsuhito, who died recently
after a prolonged illness. *
Yoshihito is the third son of the de
ceased ruler and was proclaimed
crown prince in 1888. He is a man of
strong character and enviable attain
ments in war and statecraft. He is an
officer in the army and in the navy
and has seen severe service in both
branches. He was married in 1900
and has three children. With all the
advantages of a modern education and
in full accord with the advanced ideas
of the late emperor, he should prove
a worthy successor to his father, who,
though as» oriental, was one of the
truly great men of the age. He is the
one hundred and twenty-second ruler
of Japan in his line, which, according
to Japanese legend, is descended from
the gods.
The belief in the divine right of kings, which so long was used as an
excuse for the tyranny of the rulers of Europe, is still prevalent in Japan,
I There the parson of the mikado is he Id Sacred.
Senator Isaac Stephenson of Wis
consin, the oldest member of either
branch of congress, is standing the
scorching hot weather of the national
capital better than any of his col
leagues. In Wisconsin Mr. Stephen
son is known as “Uncle Ike,” but.
among his senate associates he is
familiarly hailed as “Dr. Ike.”
Although Mr. Stephenson makes no
pretentions to a knowledge of medi
cine as laid down in the books, and
frequently admits that he is not
abreast of the modern medical sci
ence, he has had a practical experi
ence which he thinks fits him to give
advice to the ailing. As far back as
the early fifties, Mr. Stephenson was
healing the sick. He was then in
charge of various lumber camps in
the Lake Superior region of northern
Wisconsin.
“For fifteen years,” said Mr.
Stephenson, “we were without a doc
tor, lawyer, or preacher. We did not
need a doctor, for I looked after the
sick, and as for a lawyer we got along
pretty well, because we fought out
with our fists the troubles that arose
. among us. We had some pretty rough

anniversaries of his elevation to the
Vatican throne, Pope Pius X complet
ed the other day the ninth year of his
pontificate.
The odd superstition that he
would die before was based on the
manner in which his holiness’ entire
life has been divided into nine-year
periods. As plain Giuseppe Sarto he
was ordained a priest in 1858 and
served as a curate for nine years.
Then followed his promotion to the
post of parish priest, at Salzano,
where he remained for nine years
more. Next came nine years as chan
cellor of his diocese, nine as Bishop
of Tantua and nine as cardinal and
patriarch of Venice.
So firmly was he convinced that
this division of his life would continue
to the end that he frequently express

BEES AS RHEUMATISM CURE
Medical Authorities, After Thorough
Examination, Say Sting Has
Curative Value.
In a recent issue of the Farm and
Fireside is an account of the use of
bee-stings as a cure for rheumatism.
This cure has been thoroughly exam
ined by some of the great eastern med
ical colleges and indorsed by them as
scientific. The essence of the cure
lies in the formic acid which bees
inject into the blood. Following is
a brief extract from the article:
“One sting will not cure your rheu
matism, neither will two or three, but
if you let one bee sting you every day
your rheumatism will soon disappear.
That’s what some prominent phy
sicians say who are watching an in
teresting experiment in Cincinnati, 0.
“John Renner, of Cincinnati, long a
sufferer from rheumatism, is taking
the bee-sting cure. At the time this
is being written he has already taken
two weeks of the treatment, about 17
stings, and he likes it. At first hardly
able to hobble about with the aid of
a cane, Renner can now walk almost
as sprightly as any person. It is es
timated by physicians that the poison
injected into his system by the sting
ing bees has made the marked change
in his chronic condition.
“Only a few cases are on record
where bees were used to cure rheuma
tism. Mr. Fred W. Muth became In
terested in bee culture through his
having rheumatism. Now Ue has bees
and no rheumatism.
“Physicians who are watching this
interesting experiment say that the
formic acid which makes the sting of
the bees so sharp and painful for the
moment is the agent which nullifies
the dreadful rheumatic pains. Sharp
and painful as the stings are, it is a
pain of relief compared to the dull
and incessant pain of the rheumatism,
declares Renner, the patient.
“In the above novel treatment the
patient visits the apiary twice each
week, taking from three to five stings
at each visit. After the system is
orce innoculated with formic acid of
the bee-stings the person becomes im
mune to rheumatic attacks."

top of the chimney is so arranged on a
spring wire that it can be raised on
one side to permit this movement of

Denial of
Christ’s Resurrection
and Its Results
By Rev. William Evans, D. D.
Director Bible Coune of Moody Bible Irutitule
Chicago
TEXT-1 Cor. 15:14-18, 29-32: “And If
Christ be not risen then is our preaching
vain, and your faith Is also vain. Yea.
and we are found false witnesses of God;
because we have testified of God that he
raised up Christ; whom he raised not up,
If so be that the dead rise not. For if the
dead rise not, then is not Christ raised;
and If Christ be not raised, your faith is
vain; ye are yet in your sinse.—l Cor.
15:14-13, 29-32.
VI. If the Apostle is indeed a
False Witness, the Greatdr Part of the
New Testament,
With All Its Reve
lation of God and
Christ and the Fu
ture Life, Is Utter- .
ly Unreliable.
Just think of
what this means.
The revelation con
tained in fourteen
out of the twenty
seven books of the
New Testament
cannot then be
relied upon. Ro
mans and Galatians
with their great
doctrines of Justi
fication by Faith;
i Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians,
■ ; and possibly Hebrews, with their great
' j doctrinal discussions on the person I
> ! and work of the Redeemer; the Epis-;
i ties to the Corinthians, together with
i i the pastoral Epistles to Timothy and
t i Titus pregnant with their teaching re
. garding the church; the Thessalonians
■ with their comforting doctrine of the
i future life of blessedness for the saints
> —all these books which have been the
> cause, inspiration and power of the
j finest moral achievements of the ages;
: the truths revealed in these books
i which have been courage to the living
! and strength to the dying, these writ
ings are not to be depended upon, they
: are not what they profess to be; they
are vain, empty, delusive. Is this cred
ible? But this is the result of deny
ing the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
If God, who supposedly spoke through
the writers of both the Old and New
Testaments is a party to a false wit
ness; if the apostles themselves have
been a party to this false witness —
then, also, we have no Bible at all;
we have no revelation of the mind and
will of God.
2. Christianity is Barren in its Re- .
suits.
(a) “Ye are yet in your sins.”
It is here acknowledged that Christ
। alone can save from sins, but if he
could not save himself from sin's pow
er, how can he save the sons of men ,
from its guilt and dominion? Christ
J himself distinctly taught that his death
' ' had redemptive value, and that his res
' j urrection from the dead would be proof
' ' positive of this fact. The apostle Paul.
1 : also, says that “Christ died for our
' sins, and was raised again for our jus-
1 tification” (Rom. 4:25). But if Christ
; i himself is still under the power of
death, which is the wages-of sin, how
’ i then can he release others from the
payment of that debt? Then his death
’ | had no redemptive value. If Christ re
j mained in the grave, then humanity
; has no redeemer, man has no Saviour;
the guilt and power of sin has not been j
removed, men are not pardoned, sin
ners are not justified, the sinning and
I sinful race is still under the guilt and ;
condemnation of sin and exposed to
the just wrath of a righteous God j
against sin and sinners. Then free- ;
t dom from condemnation is unreal, the
sense of forgiveness is a sham, and the
> consciousness of pardon for sin is the
■ greatest delusion. Then Christ's death
has wrought only imaginary changes,
' I and deluded its most faithful adher
; | ents.
(b) Then Christianity has no incen
■ | tive power to a life of self-denial and 1
godliness. It has no power for immor
tality.
[ “And if Christ hath not been raised
... then they also that are fallen
asleep in Christ have perished.” This
1 is not an appeal to mere sentiment,
’: but a statement with regard to a most
harrowing fact. The care of the Cor-
' ' inthians for their dead was character- I
’; ized by the greatest tenderness. They
1 had laid their loved ones, small and
great, big and little, beneath the
’ ground with the hope of meeting them
; again in the world beyond. Indeed.
those who had fallen asleep in Christ
had themselves cherished this hope of
’ a glorious Immortality. They had sur
rendered all to Christ in this life that ■
they might have communion with him i
here, and fellowship with him in the
life to come. They had lived as pil
grims and strangers; they had denied
themselves to fleshly lusts and world- ■
ly pleasures; they had not resigned
; themselves to the dreams of earthly ,
i joys as others, nor had they given
■ themselves over to the enjoyment of
■ sinful pleasures: they had not bowed
the knee to the god of this world for
; riches or earthly emolument; they had
borne life’s load uncomplainingly, and
had endured all manner of suffering .
for righteousness sake; they had lived
sacrificial lives—and all this in happy
expectation of a glorious awakening in
a future life of bliss. But, ah, what ■
fools they had been; for If Christ be .
not risen, they perished at the mo
ment they died; when the spirit left
the body they ceased to be, they suf- j
sered dead loss."

TAKING CALOMEL

FROM MONEY SHARK
Every Dose Means a Bigger One Next
Month—Calomel Shocks System lr>
to Temporary Action Only, Weakens
and Robs Organs of Natural Action*
Calomel Is a powerful mercurial
drug. It crashes into the sour bile
on the stomach and works it up, and
the shock and working up of the bile
forces liver and bowels to action. But
with this forcible movement, and the
vomiting and the awful nausea, the
whole system is weakened, bowels par
alyzed, and a relaxing dose of castor
oil or strong salts must be taken.
Now as only the sour bile has been
removed from the stomach, and noth
ing doqe to correct what caused thia
bile and constipation, in a few weeks
you need another, stronger shaking up.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT acts upon
the liver as surely as calomel, but by
stimulation, not force. It removes the
cause of the trouble. It dissolves the
poisonous uric acid that has accumu
lated and carries it off in the urine; it
quickly flushes the alimentary tract
and cleanses it of all clogging waste
and fermentation. And It combines
easily with the gastric juices of the
stomach and supplies the deficient
sulphates to digest food and prevent
uric acid.
JACOBS’ LIVER SALT is a natural
and quick remedy for constipation,
biliousness, indigestion, sour stomach,
rheumatism, gout, neuralgia and all
other hepatic ailments. It is efferves
cent and agreeable, quick to act, very
mild and sure. No other liver medi
cine has the same natural, stimulant
effect. Don’t take a substitute. % lb.

THE WAY OUT
Change of Food Brought Success and
Happiness.
An ambitious but delicate girl, after
failing to go through school on ac
count of nervousness and hysteria,
found in Grape-Nuts the only thing
that seemed to build her up and fur
nish her the peace of health.
“From infancy," she says, “I have
not been strong. Being ambitious to
learn at any cost I finally got to the
High School, but soon had to abandon
my studies on account of nervous proa
tration and hysteria.
"My food did not agree with me, I
grew thin and despondent I could not
enjoy the simplest social affair for I
suffered constantly from nervousness
in spite of all sorts of medicines.
“This wretched condition continued
until I was twenty-five, when I became
interested in the letters of those who
had cases like mine and who were get
ting well by eating Grape-Nuts.
"I had little faith but procured a
box and after the first dish I expe
rienced a peculiar satisfied feeling
that I had never gained from any ordi
nary food. I slept and rested better
that night and in a few days began to
grow stronger.
“I had a new feeling and peace and
restfulness. In a few weeks, to my
great joy, the headaches and nervous
ness left me and life became bright
and hopeful. I resumed my studies
and later taught ten months with ease
—of course using Grape-Nuts every
day. It is now four years since I be
gan to use Grape-Nuts. I am the mis
tress of a happy home, and the old
weakness has never returned.” Name
