HOW MRS. BEAN

Carried Safely Through Change
of Life by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound.
Nashville,Tenn. —“When I was going
through the Change of Life I had a tu-
mor as large as a
child’s head. The
doctor said it was
three years coming
and gave me medi
cine for it until I
was called away
from the city for
some time. Os
: course I could not
go to him then, so
i my sister-in-law told
Jme that she thought
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound would cure it. It helped both
the Change of Life and the tumor and
when I got home I did not need the doctor.
I took the Pinkham remedies until the
tumor was gone, the doctor said, and I
have not felt it since. I tell every one
how I was cured. If this letter will
help others you are welcome to use it.”

Chimney Periscope.
The men in the fireroom of a fac
tory cannot always tell, without going
outside to look, whether the chimney
is smoking, and this is important,
both as a matter of economy in burn
ing the coal, and also to enable them
to conform with smoke regulations.
A writer in Power suggests placing a
mirror outside the building and set
ting it at such an angle that the men,
looking out of the window, can see
the reflection of the top of the stack
in the mirror. In some cases where
one mirror cannot be properly lo
cated, two might be used for the pur
pose.
Has Made Study of Buddha.
Dr. David Brainard Spooner, who
propounds the theory that Buddha was
not a Hindu, as is the prevailing belief,
is an American, a native of New Eng
land, and for some time has been in
the employ of the archeology depart
ment of the government of India. It
is his belief that Buddha wps a Per
sian and a renegade from Zoroastri
anism, rather than a renegade from
Hindu teaching, which also explains
a reference to Buddha in the ancient
Parsee scriptures as a heretic, a term
which could not have been used had
he not been connected originally with
Zoroastrianism, believes Doctor Spoon
er. Among this explorer’s achieve
ments is the unearthing ot Buddha’s
bones from a mound near Peshawur in
northwestern India.
Ever Eat
Grape-Nuts?
There’s a vast army of
physical and mental
workers who do.
One reason —its deli
cious nut-like flavour.
Another —it is easily
and quickly digested —
generally in about one
hour.
But the big reason is—
Grape-Nuts, besides hav
ing delicious taste, sup
plies all the rich nutri
ment of whole wheat and
malted barley, including
the “vital” mineral salts
necessary for building
brain, nerve and muscle.
Always ready to eat
direct from the package,
Grape-Nuts with cream
or good milk is a well
balanced ration —the ut

HOUSEFLY NESTS IM
FILTH-HELP TO 1
KILUIIM
The housefly is a foul and dangerous
little pest. The female lays her eggs
in manure, in human excrement or in
the flesh of dead and rotting animals,
never anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggots and the maggots feed on
the filth until they sprout wings and
become flies. The flies swarm into
our homes, bringing with them the
germs of many diseases —especially
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
—which they deposit on our food.
Many of our homes were saddened
last year by death resulting from dis
eases spread by flies. Therefore the
housefly is our deadly enemy and we
ought to kill him off as far as possible
before warm weather comes, To do
this effectually will require the co-op
eration of the whole community.
Cleanliness, generally speaking, is the
fly’s greatest enemy, but if one man
cleans up his place—removing all
barnyard filth, keeping garbage cans
covered, etc.—and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit, the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease.
This war on flies is a job for the
whole town, and it is a big one. It is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call a meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly extermination.
Let us enlist the aid of the health of
ficers, the physicians, the merchants,
the lawyers, the mechanics, the wom
en and the boys and girls.
It will be necessary to have a num
ber of committees to look after the
many angles of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
the fly is ineffective—you only kill
one fly at a swat. But if you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents of outhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime, so
that fly eggs will not hatch in these
masses, you prevent the birth of mil
lions of flies.
The state board of health will be
glad to send us all kinds of informa
tion helpful in carrying on a fly war,
if our local doctors have none on hand.
After the campaign organization is
formed, about the first thing to do is
to get reliable information and put It
in the hands of our people. .
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?
No Filth —No Flies!
Flies and filth go together. No filth,
no flies! About the only good thing
you can say about the fly is that his
presence should stimulate you to hunt
up the place where he was born and
destroy it so that it may breed no
more of his kind.
Fly swatting may be a popular pas
time. It has been talked about much.
So far, it has proved ineffective. The
well-meaning person, applying the
swatter at every opportunity, kills one
fly at a time. The removal of the con
tents of a single manure box will swat
millions of them at a blow.
Screens and swatters are a good
thing, but a clean neighborhood is the
best. Get busy!
How to Sterilize Milk.
Drs. R. Kraus and B. Barbara of the
city of Buenos Aires assert in the
Muenchener Medizinische Wochen
schrift that water or milk can be ren
dered sterile simply and rapidly by
shaking with animal charcoal and fil
tering. A three per cent addition of
charcoal suffices for milk if it be al
lowed to stand for 15 minutes.

WE SHOULD ACT NOW!
When the American army went down
to Cuba to clean things up politically and ,
otherwise after the Spanish-American
war, it found that Havana was one of
the worst yellow-fever pest holes in the
world. u.
The army surgeons learned that the mosquito was to
blame. They declared war on the mosquito. The weapons
in this war were not swatters. There was but one weapon
sanitation.
The city was cleaned with absolute thoroughness. Mos
quito-breeding swamps were drained. Lakes and streams
were covered with oil. Now Havana is one of the world’s
most healthful cities. The lesson taught fifteen years ago
has been applied steadily by the Cubans.
In this country the house fly bears about the same
relation to typhoid fever and dysentery that the mosquito
bears to yellow fever in the tropics. Both insects are dan
gerous germ carriers. •
This community ought to rid itself of flies. The means
of doing so are the same as those employed in ridding Ha
vana, the Canal Zone, Manila and New Orleans of the fever
mosquito. But the job will not be nearly so big.
Our citizens should call a meeting
k by the middle of next week and form an
organization to conduct the spring fly
war> There is no time t 0 be ,ost - Once
warm weather arrives the flies will mul
tiply faster than we can kill them
off -
* xl Let us act now!
I -■

Sg! f. p an y*।
One way to control the fly is
i to catch it in such a trap as
is shown above. The trap may
be placed near the garbage can,
or any other place that the flies
are-sure to come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box by substi
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting a round
hole in the bottom and inserting
in it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and a half-inch opening
at the top. Some article of ;
food, preferably a fish head, •
should be placed inside for bait. ’
The trap must be elevated sev- ■
eral inches above the ground, so ;
as to give the flies a chance i
to enter. When the trap is full,
it may be emptied by shaking i
its contents through a small i
opening, ordinarily closed by a
sliding door. The trap described ■
and shown in the illustration is
a particularly effective one, as
I it was planned with a view to
: the fly’s habits. The odor of I
f food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
it is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out of the
wire cone it cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue of
being inexpensive. It may be ;
s made at a cost of about twenty
cents and about a half hour’s
time.
Cover Manure Box
and Garbage Can
A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of con
trolling the fly nuisance. A proper
method of garbage collection and dis
posal is next in importance. The gar
bage should be drained, wrapped in
paper and collected in a fly-proof metal
bucket. The bucket should be washed
at intervals with lye soap and water
and then sponged with kerosene in
water.
The foregoing advice is from the fa
mous sanitary authority, Dr. W. A.
Evans of Chicago. In our local cam
paign we should utilize this informa
tion to the utmost. It has long been
recognized that swatting the fly would
never rid the community of his whole
tribe forever more. We have learned
that we must make war on him early
in the season by getting rid of his
breeding places and his natural
sources of food supply—filth.
Some of us are inclined to grumble
that campaigning against flies is
mighty troublesome. Well, the grum
blers will find it less troublesome to
campaign effectually against flies than
to nurse a member of the family
through a spell of typhoid fever —and
much less expensive.

FOR APRIL 2
CONVERSION OF PAUL.
LESSON TEXT-Acts 9:1, 31 (See also
Gal. 1:11, 17; I Tim. 1:12, 17).
GOLDEN TjAt~ Faithful is the saying
and worthy of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to save
sinners: of whom I am chief.—i Tim.
1:15 R.,V.
No other man, save our Lord, has
made such an impress upon history
as the “Jew of Tarsus.” Read care
fully and repeatedly Acts, chapters
9:22, 23 and 26.
1. Saul the Man. (1) Physically. We
know but little of Saul (see Ramsey,
Conybeare and others), but we know
from his labors that he was a man
of tremendous vitality. Distant Da
mascus knew of his work (v. 13) and
he himself testifies as to his activities
(22:3-26:11). f (2) Religiously he be
longed to the strictest of the strict,
the Pharisees (26:5-9-11). His anger
at Jesus and the disciples was a con
suming passion; literally, he “breathed
threatening and slaughter” (v. 1). In
all his violence he was conscientious,
but yet he was awfully and terribly
wrong, and what is more, his actions
were not alone against the disciples
but against Jesus (v. 5). (3) Politi
cally Saul was perfectly legal in keep
ing the law and in his executions in
the name of the law. Doubtless a
member of the Sanhedrim (26:10), his
hatred knew no pity; it included all
who believed in Jesus. (4) Mentally
this man transcends all who have ever
followed Jesus. A man of intense con
victions, a slave to a misdirected con
science, a titan of gigantic force and
power once in the right channel.
11. Saul Saved. (1) This man was
first humbled (v. 4). God put forth
his hand to save the elect at Damas
cus, though he let Saul go a long way
in his mad career. When he did act,
it was “suddenly” and by means of
the glory of Christ’s resurrection
(v. 7, I. Cor. 15:8). Though it was
“about noon,” yet this glory outshone
the brightness of the Syrian sun
(ch. 26:13). Many who speak bold
blasphemous words would also be
cast down did they but really see his
glory. (2) Saul is not left thus strick
en, but it is called from above (v. 5).
The question of Jesus (v. 4) was a
most startling one and that, with the
answer to his honest inquiry, convict
ed him of what must have been a lurk
ing suspicion in his mind, viz.: that he
was wrong and Jesus was truly the
Messiah.
111. Saul Sent. The first evidence
of the change wrought in Saul was:
(1) Obedience (v. 8). His companions
heard but did not understand. There
is no contradiction (v. 7, Acts 22:9),
as this is the translation used else
where. Saul is given three days for
meditation (v. 9), and he made good
use of the time. (2) Praying (v. 11).
The result was (3) a vision (v. 12)
(not only one, as there are others re
corded) which resulted in changed in
dividuals and nations. But his vision
was (4) a thorough commission (v.
15). (a) to the Romans —“kings,”
(b) Greeks —“Gentiles,” and (c) Jews
—“children of Israel.” Along with his
vision and commission there was giv
en enabling power, the enduement of
the Spirit. The agent God chose for
the bestowing was Ananias, not an of
ficial, merely “a certain disciple.”
The gift of the Spirit for power and
service is not necessarily by the “lay
ing on of hands.” It came to Mr.
Moody as he walked the streets of
New York without earthly compan
ions. But the other conditions were
fulfilled, a repentant, prayerful man
and a ready and obedient servant who,
though filled with fear and protest (v.
13, 14) yet takes God at his word
and goes at once to his task. As we
read verses >l7 and 18 we discover
that this special filling of the Spirit
was very evidently given to Saul be
fore he received Christian baptism—
read the order of events carefully.
IV. Saul Serving (1) At Damascus.
Saul is given refreshment (he always
lays emphasis upon the body) and
straightway began to testify to the
amazement of the people. From Gal.
1:15, 17 it is plain that he did not
remain all of the time in the city, nor
did he at once return to his friends in
Jerusalem. This period is similar to
the “hidden years at Nazareth” which
our Lord spent ere he began his min
istry.
It was a time of rest, reflection,
analysis, meditation and formulation
of his “gospel” (Rom. 3:19-28).
(2) At Jerusalem. His testimony
was distasteful at Damascus (v. 23-25)
and so he sought Jerusalem, only there
also to find distrust and rejection.
Then Barnabas did a great work
for the Kingdom by showing his broth
erly fellowship and trust and becom
ing sponsor for him to the early
church.
It was not long ere he had to flee
Jerusalem and finally return to his
childhood home, Tarsus (v. 31).
Saul the Pharisee becomes a preach
er of the Cross, the Master Empire-
Builder.
Let this lesson be a trumpet call Jb
the unconverted in your class
school. The same Jesus is callinsML
day for other lives of service
timony.
A Hint to Moth&fß
of Growing ^-Iren
A Mild Laxative at Regular
Intervals Will Prevent
Constipation.
• A vital point upon which all schools
of medicine seem to agree is that
normal regularity of the bowels is an
essefttial to good health. The impor
tance of this is impressed particulyly
on mothers of growing children. V
A very valuable remedy that should
be kept in every home for use as occa
sion arises is Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
1 Pepsin, a compound of simple laxative
herbs that has been prescribed by Dr.
W. B. Caldwell, of Monticello, 111., for
mere than twenty-five years, and which
can now be obtained in any well
stocked drug store for fifty cents a
bottle.
In a recent letter to Dr. Caldwell.
Mrs. H. C. Turner, 844 Main St., Buf
falo, N. Y., says, “I bought a bottle of
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin for my
baby, Roland Lee Turner, and find it
works just like you said it would. It
is fine for the stomach and bowels.”

It’s Grandmother’s Recipe to
keep her Locks Dark,
Glossy, Beautiful.
The old-time mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur for darkening gray,
streaked and faded hair is grandmoth
er’s recipe, and folks are again using
it to keep their hair a good, even color,
which is quite sensible, as we are liv
ing in an age when a youthful appear
ance is of the greatest advantage.
Nowadays, though, we don’t have
the troublesome task of gathering the
sage and the mussy mixing at home.
All drug stores sell the ready-to-use
product, improved by the addition of
other ingredients, called “Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound” for
about 50 cents a bottle. It is very pop
ular because nobody can discover it
has been applied. Simply moisten
your comb or a soft brush with it
and draw this through your hair, tak
ing one small strand at a time; by
morning the gray hair disappears, but
what delights the ladies with Wyeth’s
Sage and Sulphur Compound, is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after a few applications, it also pro
duces that soft lustre and appearance
of abundance which is so attractive.
This ready-to-use preparation is a de
lightful toilet requisite for those who
desire a more youthful appearance. It
is not intended for the cure, mitiga

TAKE SALTS TO FLUSH
KIDNEYS IF BACK HURTS
Says Too Much Meat Forms Uric Acid
Which Clogs the Kidneys and
Irritates the Bladder.
Most folks forget that the kidneys,
like the bowels, get sluggish and clog
ged and need a flushing occasionally,
else we have backache and dull misery
in the kidney region, severe head
aches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver,
acid stomach, sleeplessness and all
sorts of bladder disorders.
You simply must keep your kidneys
active and clean, and the moment you
feel an ache or pain in the kidney
region, get about four ounces of Jad
Salts from any good drug store here,
take a tablespoonful in a glass of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia, and is harmless to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to normal activity. It also neu
tralizes the acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts is harmless; inexpensive;
makes a delightful effervescent lithia
water drink which everybody should
take now and then to keep their kid
neys clean, thus avoiding serious com
plications.
A well-known local druggist says he
