People lived normal lives, ate plain, ■wholesome food, and got plenty of fresh air. But even that early there were drastic physics and purges for the relief of constipation which Dr. Caldwell did not believe were good for human beings. fßßKlhe prescription for constipation that he used early in his practice, and which he put in drug stores in 1892 under the name of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, is a liquid vegetable remedy, intended for women, children and elderly people, 8d they need just such a mild, safe bowel stimulant. prescription has proven its worth afcd is now the largest selling liquid Bcative. It has won the confidence of people who needed it to get relief from neadaehes, biliousness, flatulence, indi gestion, loss of appetite and sleep, bad breath, dyspepsia, colds, fevers.

(Wine Brought Out Wit of Master of Melody ■Th almis, the great musical composer, Was not a cheerful person. He was Invariably somber. When more cheer ful than usual he would sing such songs as “The Grave Is My Joy.” He was, however, a great lover of a glass of good wine, had a certain sense of hhmor, and enjoyed a joke whether against liis friend or against himself. Once when he was the guest of a rich merchant, who knew the master’s .weak spot, the latter fetched several bottles of very old and good wine from His cellar. Filling the glasses, he handed one to Brahms, at the same time bowing reverently and saying: this is the Brahms among my wines.” The composer sipped the wine, evidently with satisfaction, then tasted it again, and emptied His glass. IJlp'Yes,” lie said, with a contented smile, “not bad, not bad at all. but, my dear friend, I should he delighted If you would let me also make tlu? ac quaintance of your wine Beethoven.” No Poverty in Norway / Though a relatively poor country, fforwny has virtually no poverty, al though there is no great wealth. ’About 95 per cent of the farmers own their land, hut t He farms are generally smali.

CASTQRI A COUNT LUCKNER THE SEA DEVIL l>oubleday, Doran & Cos. By LOWELL THOMAS Up the Danish coast to the Skagerrak the disguised Seeadler sailed; then west ward across the British mine fields and up along the coasts of England and Scot land. A terrific hurricane sprang up, and under almost full sail Count Luckner and his companions started to run the British blockade. They passed through its several lines without seeing a ship, for all the blockading vessels had sought shelter in the lee of the islands, CHAPTER lll—Continued — s— thought now that, under cover of darkness and with the aid of the storm, vve might shorten our voyage to the Atlantic by cutting through the channel between the Orkney is lands and the Shetlands. 1 was about to order the nelm changed, when the hurricane shifted abruptly from south west to southeast. The change came so suddenly that the twisting winds nearly ripped our masts out by the roots. Somehow, that seemed to be a warning to us, a warning not to go through that channel. A sailor believes in signs. And something told me to take a more northerly course, nearer the Arctic Circle and the Faroes. Later, we learned that the German submarine Bremen bad tried to pass through that channel and was never seen again. The channel had recently been mined. But for that sudden shift of the storm, we too would have shared the fate of the Bremen. With sails still full spread, we continued north, nearer and nearer the Polar zone. It grew bitterly cold. The waves dashed over us, and the water froze where it fell. Our timber cargo was sg coated with ice that not a stick of lumber could be seen. The deck was like a skating rink, and the ship’s bow one huge cake of ice. Everything froze, includ ing the sails. The ropes became coat ed and would no longer run through the blocks. We fried to thaw them with oxygen flame, but they froze again the moment the flame was re moved. Unable to change the sails, we were helpless. To turn on the motor would only make matters worse, because that would carry us toward the Pole all the faster. We knew that unless the hand of God intervened within a few days we would be hopelessly caught In the Polar pack and probably never heard of again. So long ns the wind blew from the south, we were sure to coniinue on north. We were in the region of eternal night now, except for a few minutes each day. The sun rose at eleven and set at half-past eleven, if we continued tills crazy, frozen voyage to the North pole we would be smashed in the ice, by Joe. Christmas eve came, and we prayed God to send us the one Christmas pres ent, the only one that could save us — a north wind to blow us south. My men in the hold, my fighting crew, huddled together to keep from freez ing. They were prisoners, for the waves and spray had swept over ev erything until our secret hatches were frozen as solid as concrete. My Norsemen on deck slid about on the icy planks, and every man suffered from frostbite. No one tried to turn in to sleep. The tension on our nerves was too great. Only one thing was warm and stealing—the kettle of grog. You landsmen have no idea of what grog means to a sailor under such conditions. No wonder seamen call a glass of schnapps “an ice breaker!” As suddenly as It had come, the south wind died down and a breeze sprang up in the north. Our frozen ship creaked, laid over, and came around with the new wind, and our hearts sang for joy. Each day we seemed to thaw out a bit more. Soon we passed to the east of Iceland and re-entered the Atlantic. Axes and picks were busy chipping away the ice. It was hard work, but who cared now that we were getting warm again? We were through the blockade and out of the Arctic—and now to test the “Freedom of the Seas” and give the allies a touch of high life. “By Joe,” I said to my boys, “and they call it a blockade!” You would have thought the fellow In the lookout was answering me. “Steamer ahoy,” he sang out. What? A steamer in these parts? I climbed aloft with my glasses. Sure enough, there was a British ar mored cruiser steaming toward us at full speed. She had the signal flying: “Stand by or we tire I” Such bad tuck after such good luckl This second Christmas present was not so amusing. But now for our test. “Hustle you non-Norw T egian chaps. Get below deck I Throw water every where to explain why our papers are blurred and wet. The storm we just passed through will make it seem the more natural. Schmidt, get into your finery. Itemember, from now on you are the shy ‘Josefeena’ (Josephine), the captain’s wife. If they put a prize crew aboard, we will capture the prize crew, if they suspect we are an aux iliary cruiser, bombs fore, midship, and aft, and we blow up the ship 1” Now for a big quid ot tobacco In my mouth. I have never had the hab it of chewing tobhcco, but a Norwe gian skipper would not be true to type without his quid. Besides, a chew of THE ROCKDALE RECORD. Conyers, Ga., Wed.. April 10. 1929 tobacco gives you time to think. If somebody asks you an embarrassing question, you can roll your quid around in your mouth, pucker up your lips slowly, and spit deliberately and elegantly. I had practiced rolling the quid and spitting until I thought my self a past master at the art. But that smell, by Joel The unex pected always happens to mar the best-laid plans—and help the worst. We had been running our motor full open. Because of the cargo of wood that sealed the deck, there had not been enough ventilation to get rid of the fumes. The characteristic reek of crude oil burning In a Diesel engine seeped up through the secret en trances placed In my cabin, and ev erything smelled of It. What will the search officer think when he smells a Diesel engine aboard a sailing ship? No use to burn punk or sprinkle eau de cologne. “Stuff a rug in the chimney of the kerosene stove,” 1 yelled, “and turn up the wicks of the oil lamps as high as you can.” Stench against stench, kerosene stnoke against the fumes of the mo tor. In five minutes my cabin smelled to high heaven of kerosene smoke. The Britisher had hove to now, and we saw that she was the Avenger, an armed merchant cruiser of some fif teen thousand tons. She had big guns trained on us, and her officers were on the bridge looking us over with their glasses. The cruiser had put out a small boat. Two officers and sixteen sail ors were rowing toward us. We must receive them cordially, I thought Go ing to the gramophone I put on, “It’s a Long Way to Tipperary.” That will make the officers feel good. I also told tlie cook to, stand in the door of the galley with a bottle of whisky in his hand. I know the British 1 l know what they like, and I guessed that while the officer proceeded with his job, his jack-tars would go poking about to see if they might find any thing suspicious. I also suspected that they would go to the galley and sing out: “ ’I there, Cookie, got any grog?” Always give a British sailor a drink, or a German sailor, or an American sailor, or any kind of a sailor, for that matter. The boat was alongside. 1 began to swear at my men. It was hard for them to forget their naval habits, and, with an officer coming aboard, they were standing as stiffly as if at at tention. “Take the line, by Joe. Give a hand, by Joe. Don’t stand there like wooden men, by Joe.” Then, too, it would sound natural to hear a Norwegian skipper swearing at his men. The search officer clambered aboard. “Merry Christmas, Captain.” “Merry Christmas, Mister Officer,” I replied, using the kind of broken English 1 thought a Norwegian skip per would use. 1 talk English with an accent, luckily about the same brand you would hear in a Scandina vian port. “But,” I continued, “if you want to see what kind of Christmas we have had come along down to my cabin.” “A bit of a nasty blow tliis past week, eh, what!” agreed the officer, “and from the look of your deck you’ve had more than your share of it. We went in behind the Islands and waited for her to blow over." “Yes, luckily for us.” I thought. “I must see your papers, captain.” He got right down to business. Just then tlie gramophone struck up “Tipperary,” and he began to whistle the tune while his men made for the galley. 1 ushered the two officers to the cabin. The one who stuck his head in first retreated holding his nose. “What a h —ll of a smell!” “Excuse me, Mister Officer, but my stove is out of order. 1 could not know you gentlemen were giving me a visit today.” “Oh, never mind, captain, that’s all right, that’s all right.” I had purposely hung my underwear up to dry so it would be in their way aDd so that, in stooping to get under it, they would see the name “Knud sen” embroidered on it. As the chief search officer crossed the cabin he suddenly saw my charming wife Jose phine, with her blonde wig, her swol len jaw, and the rug hiding her big feet. “Oh, excuse me.” “That is my wife, Mister Officer. She has been having a bad go with the toothache.” He was chivalrous, Just as most Englishmen are. He might have been talking to a court lady, instead of that rascal Schmidt. “Sorry, madam, to Intrude like this, but we must do our duty.” “All right!” said my lovely but somewhat distorted better half in a high falsetto voice out of one corner of her mouth. “By Joe, captain, you haven’t much cabin left, have you? You have been through some rough weather!” “I wouldn’t mind the rest, Mister Officer, but look at my papers. They are soaked, too.” “1 can understand that, after the weather you’ve had." “Yes, Mister Officer, it's nil rigid for you to see tliem in tliis condition, be cause you saw tlie storm yourself, hut later, if I meet some of your com rades who didn't hit tlie blow that we had, tliey may not take my word for it That’s what’s worrying me.” “Oil, don’t worry, captain, I’ll give you a memorandum explaining Hie condition of your papers. You are lucky to have saved your ship." That memorandum was just what I wanted. There was no telling when we might he searched again. 1 had the papers scattered all over the cabin to dry, and each time l handed one to Him I spat a stream of tobacco juice on (lie cabin floor, lie examined tlie papers with a prac ticed eye and made entries In His notebook. Each page in His hook was for a sliip. and I could see that thirty or forty pages had been used already. Yes, lie was an experienced officer. When he came to the last document, the one signed with the false signa ture of tlie British consul at Copen hagen and sealed with a false British Imperial seal, and read tlie formal statement Hint die Irma's cargo of lumber was destined for tlie use of the British government in Australia, he turned to me suddenly. “These papers are ail right, cap tain.” In tlie excitement of tlie moment l suddenly swallowed m.v chew ot to bacco. I was afraid tliis might give our whole sham away. So t coughed and coughed us tHough with a bud cold, trying to cover up what had hap pened. What would a British search oflicer think tf a Norwegian skipper got seasick? My male Leudemann was standing next to me holding the log book. I Had told him to have it ready in case the Britislier should want to examine it. Leudemann saw there was something wrong with me, and was quick-witted enough to divert the search officer’s attention, by hand ing him the hook. “Oil, yes, tlie log," exclaimed the officer, and opened tlie wet pages. The quid of tobacco seemed to be moving up and down my gullet. I struggled with myself, and to show an outward calm I said to Luedeniann in Norwegian: “I wish I’d had that officer’s cnmel’s hair cape and hood. It would have been fine to keep a fellow warm while up there ndrth of the Circle.” “For rain and spray, too.” The Englishman spoke up in Norwegian to show tliat tie knew tlie language. You must admire how careful those Englisti are. The officer examined ev ery page of the log. “How is tliis, captain?” he ex claimed. “You were laid up three weeks and a half?” There was a discrepancy in dates which represented our wait after the admiralty had ordered us not to sail because of tlie return of the subma rine, Deutschland, arid Hie consequent increased vigilance of tlie blockade. 1 bad not thought of it. Here was tlie one de'ail that we had neglected to provide for in our elaborately de tailed preparations. Even if I had been in the best of health. I should not have known what to reply. With that tobacco quid running around in side of my body I could only pray to God for Help. Again Leudemann saved the situa tion. He was a little fellow and sim ple-hearted, but a great character. When bad times came, Leudemann was at his best. “We didn’t lie there for pleasure,” he said in His dry way as he looked up at the big Englishman. “We Had or ders from our owner uot to sail until we got word.” “How so?” “Haven’t you been warned then about German cruisers?” “What’s that?” “Haven’t you heard about the Moewe and auxiliary cruiser, See adler?” The searcii officer turned to me. “What about this that your mate is saying, captain?” My stomach felt much better, now that. I.eudernann had spoken. So 1 thought I might as well give the Eng lishman a good dose. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

The way for a sinning and divided people to get back to God and be united is around tlie crucified Lord. The Passover was a memorial of Hie nation’s deliverance through tlie shed ding of tlie blood of tlie sacrificial lamb. 1. The invitation was representative of tlie nation (v. 2). The king took counsel with the princes and tlie congregation to show that tlie procla mation was tlie expression of tlie na tion’s desire. 2. The time was unusual (vv. 2-4)i. There was not sufficient time to sanc tify Hie people, nor to gather tliem together at tlie regular time, so tliey resolved instead of postponing it fof a year to hold it on tlie fourteenth day of tlie second month. This liberty had been granted before in an exigen cy (Niiiii. 9:0-13). 3. Tlie scope of tlie invitation (vv. 5-9). It included ail of both nations who would come to keep tlie Passover to tlie I.ord God of Israel. “Israel" is now used to include both’ kingdoms. The effort was intended to win hack the nation which Had seceded. The messengers were autiiorized to sup plement tlie proclamation with urgent exhortation to restore a united na tion. This urgent invitation was tact fully put as follows: (1) It touched ancestral memories— “ Turn again unto tlie Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel” (v. C). (’A) Recalled Hi tier experience—“lie not like your fathers and brethren, who trespassed against tlie Lord God. and were given up to desolation, a? ye see” (v 7). (3) Aroused yearning for captive kinsfolk—“ Your brethren find children shall find compassion before their cap tors” (v 9). (4) Stirred instinct of self-preserva tion—“So that they shall come again unto tliis land” (v. 9). (5) Pledged forgiveness (v. 9). 4. Israel's reception of tlie invita tion (vv. 10-12). . This invitation in Israel met with a mingled reception. (1) Some mocked. Tlie urgent and sincere invitation only excited opposi tion and ridicule. (2) Some with humble hearts came to Jerusalem. In Judah. God gave them one heart to accept Hie summons to unite In tlie Lord around tlie great Passover. 11. The Passover Kept (vv. 13-27). ]. Altars removed (vv. 13, 14). In tlie time of Aliaz (28:24) tliese heathen altars were erected in Jeru salem. Before there could be worship of tlie true God all traces of idolatry must he removed. This voluntary act of Hie people showed a riglit spirit. 2. The Passover killed (v. 15). Tlie zeal of tlie people was shown in their going forward with tlie service, though the priests were not ready for their task. 3. The priests and Levites ashamed (vv. 15-20). The zeal of tlie people put to shame the priests and Levites, stimulating tliem to perform their duties accord ing to tlie law as given by Moses. The! Levites then took charge of tlie kill ing of tlie Passover. Though many of the people were ceremonially unpre pared to take part in the most sacred service, tliey were accepted as wor shipers through the intercession of Hezekiah. God accepted the purpose of heart rather than the letter of the law. 4. The praise of glad hearts (vv. 21, 22). Tliey continued seven days with gladness: (1) The I.evites and priests sang God’s praise daily with loud in struments (v. 21) ; (2) Hezekiah spoke comforting words to tlie Levites (v. 22). He commended tliem and their teaching of the knowledge of God. (3) They made confession of their sins to God (v. 22). 5. The Passover prolonged seven days (vv. 23-27). The king’s object in prolonging the feast was to make as lasting an im pression as possible, so as to result in the thorough conversion of tlieir souls to God.
