One of the most sensational state

“I suffered so much from rheuma

A Philadelphia Idea.
Music and cleaning the parlor have
never been very closely associated.
When the housewife wants to play the
piano she generally waits until she
has cleaned the parlor, taken a bath
and dressed herself in party clothes.
Now a Philadelphian has patented a
dust-filtering attachment which can be
attached to the player-piano, and the
ordinary housewife can now seat her
self at the piano-player, obtain music
via the keys, work the pedals for all
she is worth and, with her child to
run the vacuum cleaner about the
floor, she can have it clean in a jiffy.
The bellows of the player are attached
to the vacuum cleaner by means of
a special pipe, and in this manner the
needed vacuum is created for cleaning
purposes.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 5.
MANASSEH’S SIN AND REPENT*
ANCE.
LESSON TEXT-II Chronicles 33:1-20.
GOLDEN TEXT—Let the wicked for
sake his way, and the unrighteous man
his thoughts: and let him return unto the
Lord, and he will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon.—lsaiah 65:7.
The reign of Manasseh was the long
est of any of the kings of Judah. It is
strange that a wicked king should
have the distinction of the longest
reign. This can be accounted for, per
haps, by the fact that the nation was
in such a state that their idolatrous
corruption needed to go to its fullest
development. It seems to be neces
sary in a world of free beings, that
their actions must go to a certain
stage of development. It was so with
the inhabitants of Canaan before that
land was possessed by Israel. Israel
was kept in Egypt until the iniquity
of that nation was full. In this case
doubtless the Lord permitted this to
go on until the idolatrous practices
would become extremely obnoxious.
I. Manasseh’s Sin (vv. 1-9). Though
he had the example of a good father,
he with passionate endeavor gave him
self up to the imitation of the heathen
about him. This shows that grace is
not inherited; a good father may have
a bad son. It also teaches us that it
is absolutely necessary to bring the
grace of God into vital touch with our
children, for that grace is absolutely
essential to their salvation. Only his
grace can counteract the downward
pull of sin.
1. He restored the high places which
had been destroyed by his father
(v. 3). It is thus seen that he sought
to undo the good work done by his
father.
2. He erected altars to Baal (v. 3).
The idols worshiped on these altars
seem to have been Images of licen
tious appearance, provoking the indul
gence of the human passion. There
fore, with this worship was coupled
the grossest licentiousness.
3. He introduced the star worship
of the Chaldeans and Assyrians (v. 3).
He even erected these altars’ in the
house of the Lord, placing them on a
level with God himself.
4. He set up Moloch in the Vale of
Hinnon (v. 6). He not only encour
aged this worship on the part of oth
ers, but he even caused his own chil
dren to pass through the fire.
5. He practiced magic, witchcraft,
and dealt with a familiar spirit (v. 6).
So gross were these practices that
they did even worse than the heathen
whom God had destroyed before the
Children of Israel came into the land.
6. He rejected the Lord’s testimony
(v. 10). Doubtless the prophets had
again and again admonished him, but
he seems to have turned entirely aside
from such remonstrances.
11. Manasseh’s Chastisement (vv. 11-
13). The Lord in grace used the As
syrians to chastise Manasseh, so as to
bring him to see his evil ways. He
was captured, perhaps while hiding
among the thicket of thorns (v. 11),
bound in chains and carried to Baby
lon. This was most humiliating. His
hands were manacled, his ankles fas
tened together with rings and a bar.
111. Manasseh's Repentance, (vv. 12.
13). Fortunately, the chastisement
had its desired effect. Manasseh was
brought to his senses and turned from
his evil ways. The steps in his re
pentance are as follows:
1. Affliction (v. 12). This was most
severe. Bound with chains and dragged
to Babylon. While this was severe, it
was light in comparison with the sins
which provoked it.
2. Supplication (v. 12). Manasseh
had the good sense to cry out to God
in this condition. It is the unmistak
able evidence that God’s chastisement
is accomplishing its purpose. We are
instructed in James 5:13 in time of af
fliction to pray,
3. Humility (v. 12). This is a com
mon characteristic of penitent souls.
Those who come under the hand of
God always recognize it in their hum
ble walk. ’
4. Forgiveness (v. 13). As soon as
God sees the signs of penitence, he
turns in mercy to the penitent and
grants absolution for sin. *No one
needs to wait long to receive his for
giveness.
5. His kingdom restored (v. 13).
Manasseh not only was forgiven, but
he was actually restored to his king
dom. Those who truly repent, God
will not only forgive, but he will re
store (Psa. 32:3-5).
6. Apprehension of God (v. 13).
Through this experience Manasseh
came to know God.
IV, Manasseh’s Reformation (vv.
14-20). Manasseh was not content
with merely receiving God’s forgive
ness and restoration to his kingdom,
but he sought so far ns possible to
undo the mischief which he had done.
1. He strengthened the fortifications
of Jerusalem, so as to make his peo
ple safe from the attack of a foreign
foe (v. 14).
2. He removed the idols from the
House of the Lord (v. 15). Through
bitter experience he had come to know
that an idol Is nothing, that it could
avail him nothing In time of deepest
need.

DODSON'S LIVER TONE
New Discovery! Takes Place of Dangerous Calomel —It Puts Your Liver To

your system and making you feel miserable.

WAR IS DECLARED ON MICE
All Household Pets Should Be Kept
Away From Food, Says Govern
ment Experts.
Rats and mice destroy millions of
dollars’ worth of food and other prop
erty every year in homes or on farms
and in business establishments. Many
rats harbor the germs of bubonic
plague. Trap and kill them, enjoins a
United States department of agricul
ture bulletin. Look upon every’ mouse
as an enemy to your property.
Eradicate roaches and house ants.
Keep weevils out of cereals.
Keep your food where such pests
cannot reach it.
Keep household pets away from
food.
Don’t let fresh vegetables or fruit
wilt or lose their flavor or begin to
rot because they are handled careless
ly. Keep perishable vegetables in cool,
dry, well aired, and. for most vegeta
bles, dark, rather than light places.
Learn how to store potatoes, cab
bages, root crops, fruits and other
foods so that they will keep properly
for later use. Don’t think that any
place in the cellar or pantry is good
enough to store food.
Heat, dampness, poor ventilation,
bruising or breaking will rapidly make
many vegetables rot, ferment or spoil.
Warmth and light make vegetables
sprout and this lowers their quality.
Not So Smart.
Mr. Flatbush —It's the same old
story.
Mrs. Flatbush —What’s wrong now?
“I painted the front gate and hung
a sign on It, ‘Fresh Paint.’ ”
“Well?”
“The first man who came along put
his hand on it to see if the paint was
really fresh.”
“Don't be so smart.”
“Why?”
“That wasn’t a man that put his
hand on the paint to see If it was
fresh ; that was me.”
Our respect for old age depends a
great deal on whether it is to be ap
plied to men and women or boarding
house poultry.
Preparing
for Tomorrow
Many people seem able
to drink coffee for a time
without apparent harm,but
when health disturbance,
even though slight, follows
coffee’s use, it is wise to
investigate.
Thousands of homes,
where coffee was found to
disagree, have changed the
family table drink to
Instant
Postum
With improved health,
and it usually follows,
the change made becomes
a permanent one. It pays
to prepare for the health
of tomorrow.
“There’s a Reason”
a day’s work. I want to see a bottle of this won
derful liver medicine in every home here.
Calomel is poison—it’s mercury—it attacks the
bones, often causing rheumatism. Calomel is dan
gerous. It sickens—while my Dodson’s Liver
Tone is safe, pleasant and harmless. Eat any
thing afterwards, because it can not salivate. Give
it to the children because it doesn’t upset the stom
ach or shock the liver. Take a spoonful tonight
and wake up-feeling fine and ready for a full
day’s work.
Get a bottle! Try it! If it doesn’t do exactly
what I say, tell your dealer to hand your money
back. Every druggist and store keeper here knows
me and knows of my wonderful discovery of a
vegetable medicine that takes the place of danger
ous calomel. —Adv.

The Last of the Caribs.
The Carib Indian was the first rep
resentative of Lo the poor red man to
meet the tide of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it. because as a
living race he has practically disap
peared.
How many thousands of Caribs
dwelt in the West Indies in 1492 is
largely a matter of conjecture.' They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the conqueror, who worked
them as slaves, and shot them when
they made war. Today it is doubtful
whether there are a hundred pure
blooded Caribs alive. Practically all
of them live on the British island of
Dominica, on a reservation set apart
for them called Salybia.
Girls! Use Lemons!
Make a Bleaching,
Beautifying Cream
The juice of two fresh lemons strain

en to strain the lemon juice through a
tine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and remove
such blemishes as freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin softener,
smoothener and beautifier.
Just try it I Get three ounces of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra
grant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face. neck, arms and hands. It
