The Stitches of » Lifetime.
The other night a party was in J.
Dreps’ tailor shop discussing the gen¬
eral topics of the day, when the con¬
versation turned to the subject of tail¬
oring. and the number of stitches re
ffnirod to make a garment. Mr. Dreps
.was timed for one minute, and the
nnmbcr of stitches he made was found
to be seventy, This makes 4200 an
hour. 28.800 per .day, 21.462,000 per
year. This tailor has followed his
trade for thirty years, and during that
time has made over 043,SG0,000

On the Ocean Bottom.
Sitting inside a submarine on an
ocean bottom you would be no more
conscious of the enormous water pres¬
sure without than if you were going
to sleep in your own bed. You might
remain twenty-four hours under
water without coming up, using only
the natural air supplied in the boat
without feeling the least uncomforta¬
ble. If you wished, you might remain
down four or five days, tapping the
air tank as you needed a fresh supply
of air. In the meantime you would
hunk over the torpedoes and torture
yourself by letting your imagination
loose to your heart’s content, or you
might r<4d by electric light or play
cards or dominoes or checkers, the
cook serving you with coffee and
canned things that can be heated on
an electric furnace without causing
too much smoke and making tlm air
disagreeable to breathe.- St Nich

AVOID RISK IN BUYING PAINT.
You take a good deal of risk if you
buy white lead without having abso¬
lute assurance as to its purity and
quality. You know white lead is of¬
ten adulterated, often misrepresented.
But there’s no need at all to take
any chances. The “Dutch Boy Palnt
er u trade mark of the National Lead
Company, the largest makers of gen¬
uine white lead, on a package of
White Lead, is a positive guarantee
of purity aDd quality. It’s as depend¬
able as the Dollar Sign. If you’ll
write the National Lead Company,
Woodbrldge Bldg., New York City,
they will send you a simple and cer¬
tain outfit for testing white lead, and
a valuable book on paint, free.

Pigs That Point.
American shooting men are much
exercised over a story that a sport¬
ing farmer named Knittel, who lives
near Brounsburg, St. Louis, has suc
ceeded in teaching a pig to point game
and shoots over it.
Our American friends have evident¬
ly forgotten the famous “pig point

ed game and rabbits by the brothers
Toomer, royal keepers in the New
Forest. This “pig pointer” was a

AJFRAID TO EAT
Girl Starving on Ill-Selected Food.
"Several years ago I was actually
starving,” writes a Me. girl, "yet
dared not eat for fear of the conse¬
quences.
“I had suffered from indigestion
from overwork, irregular meals and
improper food, until at last my
stomach became so weak I could eat
scarcely any food without great dis¬
tress.
“Many kinds of food were tried,
all with the same discouraging ef¬
fects. I steadily lOBt health and
strength until I was but a wreck of
my former self.
“Having heard of Grape-Nuts and
Its great merits, I purchased a pack¬
age, but with little hope that it would
help me—I was so discouraged.
“I found it not only appetizing but
that I could eat it as I liked and that
it satisfied the craving for food with¬
out causing distress, and if I may use
the expression, ‘it filled the bill.’
“For months Grape-Nuts was my
principal article of diet. I felt from
the very first that I had found the
right way to health and happiness,
and my anticipations were fully
realized.
“With its continued use I regained
my usual health and strength. To¬
day I am well and can eat anything
I like, yet Grape-Nuts food forms a
part of my bill of fare.” “There’s a
Reason.”

INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM¬

Subject: Temperance, Is. 5:11-23——
Golden Text, Prov. 20:1—Com¬
mit Verses 22, 23—Comments
on the Lesson.
TIME.—760 B. C. and 1908 A. D.
PLACE.—Jerusalem and all lands.
EXPOSITION.—I. The Woe of
Those Who Live Intemperately, 11-
17. God pronounces six woes upon
Hi3 people because of their sins. The
first woe is pronounced upon the
greedy monopolist. Verse 8 gives a
very graphic picture of a large class
among us to-day who count them¬
selves happy, hut Jehovah pronounces
woe upon them. More and more will
this be true as time passes, even as it
came to pass in Jerusalem. The sec¬
ond woe is pronounced unon those
who live for the gratification of ap¬
petite. The description of the drunk¬
ard in verse 11 exactly fits our own
day. The rising sun sees the wretch¬
ed victim of alcohol up searching for
an open saloon; he hasn't slept much
and now wants a drink to steady his
nerves. But he is not only up early
but tarries late into night till wine
inflames him. He is burning the
candle at both ends and will soon
burn it out. God pronounces woe
upon every such an one. And the
woe never fails to come. It Is a sig¬
nificant fact that after speaking in
general terms of the ruin of Judah
(vs. 1-7) such frequent references
are made to drunkenness. It Is clear
that the prophet Isaiah (as well as
other prophets) considered Judah's
fall (and Israel’s) as due largely to
intemperance (see also ch. 28:1, 7, 8;
Hos. 7:5, 6. The effect of wine is to
inflame them.” It inflames the
stomach, the blood, the eyes, the
brain, the vilest and fiercest passions
of the soul and kindles the fires of
hell. The man that fools with wine
is fooling with a fire that has caused
the costliest conflagrations that the
world has ever known. In verse 12
we have pictured the veneering of art
and refinement with which drunkards
seek to cover their beastliness. Music
is constantly prostituted to become
the servitor of beastliness. While
these ancient sinners gave themselves
over to aesthetic and sensual indul¬
gence they forgot “the work of the
Lord” (cf. Job 21:11-14; Am. 6:4-6).
One of the most serious evils of the
use of wine is that it leads men to
forget God. A fearful doom awaits
all those who forget God (Job 34:24-
27; Ps. 28:5; 9:17). The conse¬
quence of their intemperance and for¬
getting God was that God’s people
had “gone into captivity” (v. 13).
The world to-day is full of people
who have gone into the most degrad¬
ing and painful captivity through the
same two causes—intemperance and
forgetfulness of God. The immediate
cause of captivity was “lack of knowl¬
edge.” Knowledge of the truth is lib¬
erty, ignorance of the truth Is bond¬
age (Jno. 8:32; cf. Hos. 4:6; Rom.
1:28; 2 Thess. 1:8). The next result
of Judah’s intemperance was that
“Hell (or Sheol, the underworld)
enlarged her desire, and opened her
mouth without measure.” Hell yawns
wide because of intemperance and the
glory of the multitude and the pomp,
and he that rejoices among us Is de¬
scending into it.. All classes are
brought down by this sin (v. 15).
Not only the insignificant and con
temptible, hut the great and lofty are
I humbled. But in the midst of all this
humbling “Jehovah of hosts is ex¬
alted.”' He is exalted by the judg¬
ment He brings upon the offenders
(cf. Ez. 28:22;- Rev. 15:3, 4). As He
is “the Holy One” (R. V.), His Holi¬
ness shall he manifested In the right¬
eous judgment Pie brings upon offend¬
ers. As the final result of Israel’s in¬
temperance and forgetfulness of God
all the splendid estates and palaces of
Judah should become waste and the
feeding place- of wandering bands.
This is now literally fulfilled and
there is a real danger that all the
present splendor of our own land
shall some day become a feeding
place of flocks and tramps from simi¬
lar causes.
II. The Woe of Those Who Give
Themselves Over to Sin, 18-23. The
third woe is pronounced upon those
who are so thoroughly given over to
sin that they tug away at it to see
how much they can draw (v. 18).
The use of wine leads to this devotion
to sin. In their enthusiasm for sin
they mock at God and His Word’and
say: “Let God hurry up with His
judgments and let Him hasten His
works that we may actually see it and
not merely hear about it. Let the
purposes of the Holy One of Israel
of which we have heard so much ac¬
tually come to pass” (v. 19; cf. Jer.
17:15; 2 Pet.'3:3, 4). Such mockery
of God’s word and God’s judgments
is common among drunkards. T e
fourth woe is upon those who “call
evil good, and good evil, that put
darkness for light and light for dark¬
ness.” This displays a determination
in sin that is wellnigh hopeless (Matt.
12:24, 31). This complete perversion
of the moral judgment often results
from the persistent use of liquor. The
fifth warning is one greatly needed in
our day (v. 21; cf. Prov. 26:12; Ro.
1:22). No man is more likely to be
wise in his own eyes than the drink¬
ing man. He laughs at all warnings
against the dangers of strong drink.
The final woe is pronounced upon
those who pride themselves upon the
amount of wiife th can drink and
the strong drink thoy can mix and
“walk off with.” The inspired prophet
says that this is not an accomplish¬
ment to be proud of.

BORAX IN THE DAIRY.
A Matter of Profitable Interest to the
Farmer and Dairyman.
The problem of keeping sweet all
the utentils used in connection with
milk and cream selling, and butter
making, has been a serious one,with
the farmer.
He has come to realize fully that
the slightest taint or hint of staleness
left in a can, tin or churn may ruin
a whole output; that the taint which
Is left is in the form of bacteria
which grow and multiply in milk or
butter, producing disastrous results.
The farmer has learped that hot
water won’t rinse away the greasy
residue in dairy utensils.
He has learned that soap leaves a
residue of its own which is, if any
thing, worse than the milk or cream
residue, and it is little wonder that
there has been a constant clamor for
a dairy cleanser and sweetener that
will meet modern requirements.
A few of the largest creamery es¬
tablishments have called experts into
consultation on this problem and have
with this scientific aid hit upon a
product of nature which exactly fib 3
the bill—borax.
Scientists have long known borax
as a cleanser, a sweetener and an
antiseptic destroyer of bacteria and
germ growths. Destroys all that 3
harmful and promotes and preserves
freshness, sweetness and purity, re¬
lieving the dairyman and dairy house¬
wife of drudgery and of needless
work and worry.
Its cheapness and value should gi”®
it first place in the necessities of
every dairy.
The cow’s udder is kept in a clean,
healthy and smooth condition by
washing it with borax and water, 3
tablespoonful of borax to two quarts
of water.
This prevents roughness and sore¬
ness or cracking teats, which make
milking time a dread to the cow and
a worry to the milker.
The modern cleanser of all dairy
utensils consists cf—one tablespoon¬
ful of borax to every quart of water
needed. Remember—a tablespoonful
equals four teaspoonfuls.
Be sure that you get pure borax.
To be sure, you must get “ 20 Mule
Team Borax.’
