and .5 per cent for those who get from
$1,200 to $1,800, is authorized in the
annual appropriation bill for the agri
cultural department passed by the na
tional house.
The test cast to determine the con
stitutionality of the Adamson law en
acted by congress last September,
when a general railroad strike threat
ened, is now before the Supreme trib
unal of the country.
Washington, D. C., is all agog over
a speech recently delivered in the sen
ate in which the passage of a consti
tutional amendment to limit, a presi
dent to one six-year term, elect him
by direct vote of the people and
changing the date of inauguration
was stated to be a movement of as
much importance as any issue before
the American people.
Sergeant Crawford, attached to the
Pensacola, Fla., aviation station, was
painfully but not seriously injured in
airplane wreck which occurred just
over the bay.
Ah unknown number of negro pris;

Mexican
Carranza forces now occupy Jiminez,
Santa Rosalia and ParraI. while Fran
cisco Villa and bis staff have fled to
the state of Durango over the branch
railroad from Parral to 101 poro.
Government agents at 101 Paso, Tex
as, had been loath to accept the Car
ranza reports of the victory of Villa
at Jiminez and of Villa’s reported re
treat to Parral, but now admit that
the battle of Jiminez ended'in a com
plete rout of the Villa forces.
A high government official at J01
Paso says that he believes that the
de facto government of Mexico has
at last won “a sweeping victory over
Villa.”

European War
Fokshani, another of Roumanla's
fortresses, has fallen into the hands
of the Teutonic invaders.
In spite of the snow and extremely
cold weather the Germans and Aus
trians are pressing the Russians and
Roumanians backward.
Although the Teutonic allies have
made further advances in Roumania,
both in their operation driving east
ward from the mountain region and
northward from Wallachia into Molda
via, the. Russians and Roumanians are
giving them battle at various points
and at several places have met with
success.
Admission is made .by Petrograd
that the Russians and Roumanians on
the upper reaches of the Suchitza riv
er retired before the advancing Teu
tons.
Berlin reports that the Russians and
Roumanians have been pushed further
back toward the plains from the Oituz
and Putna valleys.
A Russian attack against Mitau was

Invaders Of Roumania Report Progress
All Along The Moldavian Frontier
Over The Czar's Forces
MANY PRISONERS ARE TAKEN
Petrograd Admits That The Russians
Along The Putna And Sereth
Have Been Forced Back
New York.—The invasion of Rou
mania by the troops of the central
powers continues tef progress, despite
the efforts of the Russians and Rou
manians to hold them back. Berlin
reports that, the invaders moving east
ward *into Moldavia from the Transyl
vanian Alps region are gaining ground
step, by step, while the-fo^ce -of Field
Marshal von Mackensen, driving north
ward in Moldavia* has won additional-
ground, reaching the Ptitna ijyer sec?
tor. In this fighting the Teutonic al
lies, acocrding to Berlin, have taken
5,499 prisoners and captured three
guns and ten machine guns.
Petrograd admits that the Russians
along the line of the Putna and Se
reth rivers have fallen back but says
the maneuver was carried out without
hindrance. A slight retreat on the
Kassina river by the Russians also is
recorded by Petrograd, but it is as
serted that, south of the Oituz river
and near Rekoza, on the Suchitza riv
er, attacks by the troops of the com
tral • powers were repulsed.
There is still vigorous fighting go
ing on in northern Russia in the region
of Riga. Berlin reports the repulse
of Russian attacks on both sidas of
the River Aaa and between Friedrich-
stadt and the Mitau-Olai road. The
Russians, however, have recaptured an
island in the Dvina river north of II-
loukst, which was token from them
recently. Petrograd reports also the
repulse of German nttacks south of
Lake Babit, west of Riga.
In the other theaters, according to
the various communications, bombard
ments and minor engagements by raid
ing and patrol parties continue to pre
vail.

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting Director of
the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute of Chicago.)
(Copyright, 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR JANUARY 14
JOHN THE BAPTIST AND JESUS,
LESSON TEXT-John 1:19-34.
GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, the lamb of
God that takoth away the sin of the
world.—John 1:29.
John began Ills public ministry in the
summer of A. D. 26 and the baptism of
Jesus probably took pluce in January,
A; D. 27. The delegation from Jerusa
lem to interview John must have ap
peared along toward the latter part of
Februury.
I. John the Witness (vv. 15-18).
John’s ministry created great excite
ment. • The people were in expectancy.
All classes were reasoning as to who
this strange but marvelously forceful
man might be. Some thought perhaps
he was the Christ (Luke 3:15). To
settle this question a committee was
sent to Jerusalem to investigate.
Malaclii, the prophet, has suggested the
coming of Elijah (Mai. 4:5) before the
Messiah should come, and another
prophecy indicated that the prophet
should be like unto Moses (Deut.
1S:1G-1S). John freely confesses to
tills delegation that he is not the
Christ nor Elijah nor the prophet pre
dicted by Moses. How foolish and
silly are those modern ones who pro
fess to be the messenger of the cov
enant or some other fanciful title, in
dicating the return of the witness
which is to precede the coming of
Christ. John exercises humility in the
way he states his real position though
he does apply to himself the prophecy
of Isuinh (Isa. 40:3-5) which sets forth
what his mission was to be. A voice
can be heard but not seen. With our
bodily eyes we never see a spirit. No
man ever saw the soul of his nearest
friend. We do see God, however, in
his works, in his marvelous deliver
ances and his guidance of the world
and his answers to prayer.
II. John the Baptizer (vv. 19-29).
As John had denied that he was the
Christ or Elijah, the priests and Lev-
ites made bold to question his author
ity at a later time (Matt. 21-23), and
still later the authority of the apos
tles and the priests (Acts 5:28). John
answers them with another display of
his humility. Ills baptism in wuter
was nothing to the baptism of the
coming one (See Matt. 3:11; Acts 1:5j.
Though Christ was in their midst, they
were blind and did not recognize him.
(See vv. 19, 11; ch. 8:19; 16:3).
John’s baptism of repentance denotes
a baptism which a penitent submitted
to that he might receive the pledge
and assurance that his sins were for
given. Baptism meant the cleansing
of the people from past sins that they
might be fitted for entrance into tiie
kingdom. Baptism is not conversion,
lt is a witnessing and a symbol' of a
spiritual truth that we are dead unto
sin, and have risen to newness of life
(Rom. 6:3-5). Like John, our voice
must be not only that of humility but
it must be really a voice with a mes
sage from God, one that sounds an un
mistakable note, one that can be heard
wherever we go, one that will make
men happier, stronger, braver, more
like God, to prepare the way for Christ
in the hearts of men.
III. The Witness of the Spirit (vv.
28-34). The writer is very explicit,
stating the exact time that these things
occurred, for he was an eye witness.
John first testifies that Jesus was the
Lamb of God, referring of course to
the sacrificial lamb, the atoning sacri
fice of the Old Testament (Gen. 22:7-S;
Ex. 12:3; Isa. 53:7). As the Lamb of
God, Jesus would take away the sins
of the world; thus the thought is pri
marily that of atonement, a substitu
tion of another and the deliverance
from the guilt of sin. The next (lay
after John’s witness to the delegation
from Jerusalem, he saw Jesus coming
Unto him, and said to the assembled
people, “Behold the Lamb of God.”
This refers not so much to his charac
ter, that of innocence, meekness and
patience, as to his office, his completed,
work of atonement by the sacrificial
deuth wherein he takes away the sins
of the world. On the ground of the
propitiation for sin which Jesus
wrought (I John 2:2; Matt. 20:28; II
Cor. 5:21; Gal. 3:13) sin is removed
from the sinner ns far ns the East is
from the West. God dealt in mercy
with men before Christ’s time because
of the lamb which was slain from the
foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8).
Here John says that at first he did not
recognize Jesus as the Messiah, but he
does bear record that he saw the
spirit descending at his baptism, and it
abode upon him.
The work of Christ is for the whole
world till all Its sin Is removed.
He is actually removing sin from the
world, and when he comes again, sin
will be banished. Luke’s record adds
that this same Messiah Is to baptize
with the Holy Ghost and fire.
Christians are to be on fire for God.
The gift of the holy\ spirit at Pente
cost was the first anti most\ manifest
expression of tMajLnsterof
DRUGGISTS KNOW A
GOOD MEDICINE
Ten years ago‘we commenced selling Dr.
Kilmers Swamp-Root and during our en

all of them speak in the highest terms.
We know Swamp-Root is a splendid prep

steady, reliable sale.

HAIR STOPS FALLING
Save your Hairl Get a 25 cent bottle
of Danderine right now—Also
stops itching scalp.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
half is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to
the hair as dandruff. It robs the hair
of its lustre, its strength and its very
life; eventually producing a feverish
ness and itching of the scalp, which
if not remedied causes the hair roots
to shrink, loosen and die—then the
hair falls out fast. A little Danderine
tonight—now—any time—will surely
save your hair.
Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s
Danderine from any drug store. You
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dan
derine. Save your hair 1 Try it!—Adv.

An ingenious Maine cobbler has sub

Leather prices are quoted ns “over the
