um TO USE DR. WILLIAMS’ PINK nus Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills were ori- ginally a perscription used in the actor’s private practice and then enefit to mankind has been in- ereased many thousand fold by their being placed on general sale throughout the world with the doc- tor’s own directions for use.-_ They are entirely safe and contain no opiate or habit-forming drugs. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills area remedy to use when the blood is thin as in anaemia; or impure, as in rheumatism, or when the nerves ére weak, as in neuralgia; or life- less in paralysis; or when the body as a whole is ill nourished, .as in eneral debility. Theylbuild up he blood, strengthen the nerves and-cure the troubles of women and growing girls, and many forms of weakness. That thousands of people have tried this treatment with good results is shown by the constantly increasing number of euros reported. Mr. Paul Charbonncau, a young man well-known in the town of St. Jerome, Que, is one of the host who hear testimony to the value of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. He sayszâ€"“When I left school I ‘be- came a bookkeeper in an important office. Probably due to the confine- ment I began to suffer from indiges- tion and loss of strength. I be- came pale and seemingly bloodless and was often seized with palpita- tion of the heart and violent head- aches. I tried several remedies, but they did not do me a bit of good. I was advised to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills and did so, and the use of eight boxes brought me back to perfect health and strength. I have since enjoyed the best of health and cannot say too much in praise of this valuable medicine.

Those in Portugal Have Been Cut Up Into Small Portions. The Portuguese are an extremely conservative people. Every one fol- lows rigidly the methods employed by his father and forefathers. In \vcry many parts of the country the old wooden ploughs are still ,used. When a man dies, instead of one of the heirs taking the whole pro- ,perty and paying the remaining .heirs for their parts, the whole property is divided int-o as many parts as there are heirs. More {than this, each separate part of the property is thus divided. Thus, if a property consisted of , ten acres of pasture land, eighty of vineyard and ten of grain land and the-re were ten heirs, each heir .would receive one acre each of grain and pasture and eight acres ofyin‘eyard. This process has been .gomg on for a very long time, so that now in the most fertile part of Portugal the land is divided into incredibly small portions. The immediate result of this, ac- cording to the United States Con- sular reports, is that the product of the land is barely sufficient at best to sustain its owners. South of the River Tagus, on the other ,hand, there are enormous tracts of excellent land lying unused, but it has been found impossible to in- duce the farmers of the north to .move into this region and take up large holdings. ADVISE FROM A MUTHER TO ALL OTHER MOTHERS The young motherâ€"the inexperi- enced motherâ€"is always glad to get the advice of the more experienced in the care of her little one. Thou- sands of mothers have emphaticaL 15' said that there is no medicine equal to Baby’s , Own Tablets for keeping little ones 'well, or restor- ing health if illness comes sudden- ly. The young mother can safely follow the lead -- of these others. Mrs. John Shortill, Georgetown, Ont-., says :â€"“I would not be aday without-.Baby’s OwniTablets in the house. 'I' believethcy saved my youngest child’s life. At the age of three months she cried all the time with indigestion. Our doctor did all he could for her, but did not scorn to help her.

LESSilN pâ€"m INTERNATIONAL LESSON, OCT. 24. .â€"â€"â€"u Lesson IV. Paul a Prisoner, Acts 25. 6-12. Golden Text, 2 Tim. 1. 12. THE LESSON worn) STUDIES; Time: Summer of AD. 59. Place: Caesaica. Person: Paul; F-estus, the new gover“0r; Herod Agrippa IL, great-grandson of Herod the” Great; Bernice, his sister, a notori- ous character; Jews from Jerusa~ lem. Links: Festus gave prompt attention to the case of the Jews versus Paul (Acts 25. 1, 6, 13, 23). The hostile Jews attempted to have the case tried in Jerusalem, that they might carry out their plan to kill Paul, but Fest-us insisted upon their carrying their charges to Caesarea, where Felix had left Paul in bonds. Point of the Narrative: Festus, in order to please the Jews, invites Paul to be judged at Jeru- salem, but he appeals to Caesar, knowing there is no justice for him in Jeruéalem. Before Agrippa, who appears in Caesarea to pay his respects to Festus, Paul complete- ly clears himself. -Chapter 25, versefi. When he had tarried among themâ€"Festus, the successor of Felix, at Jerusalem. Went down unto Cacsareaâ€"Ac- companied probably by the Jewish elders (verse 5). 7. Bringing against and grievous chargesâ€"These they had doubtless accumulated from every source through the two years of his imprisonment. , 8. Paul said in his defenseâ€"The three headings of his statement cover the same ground as his de- fense before Felix (Acts 241. 11-21). 9- Desiring to gain favor â€"â€" Pro- vincial governors were really anâ€" swerable to their subjects, since the latter might bring complaints him many against them at the close of their term of office. ' Wilt thou go up to Jerusalem . . before me fâ€"This is a violated Ro- man law. Festus therefore pro- poses that the other offenses be heard before the Sanhedrin with himself present to insure fair play. 10. I am standing before Caesar’s judgment seatâ€"The verb means he is now, and has been, standing there. For two years he has been in custody of the Romans, and he declines to be handed over to men from whom he can expect no jus- tice. _ 11. I appeal unto Caesarâ€"To this certain of being condemned by the Sanhcdrin, and (2), since Festus was both just and timid, hecould expect nothing from him. ' 12. The councilâ€"The assessors, who acted as the governor’s legal advisers. . . Chapter 26, verse 1. Agrippa ~â€" He was the son of that Herod Agrippa whose tragic death is de- scribed in Acts 12, and became ru- lcr over several Jewish cities. He was instrumental in completing the 'nient. - Jewish temple, and was deeply interested in all Jewish questions. He was last of the Herods. With his sis- ter Bernice, who bore a most un- enviable reputation in the Roman world, he had come to pay his re- spects to Festus, the new governor. Festus regards it as a most opporâ€" tunc time to bring forward his dis- tinguished prisoner. The hearing was held in the presence of Agrip- pa, Bernice, Festus, and the chief men of the city. 3. Expert in all customs . . . . . among the Jewsâ€"No idle compli- ‘ customs were his specialty. ' 4-27. Paul’s defense. The main points are: (1) that all Jews know of his strict training in the belief in a coming Messiah and the resurrec- tion; (2) that he had had his diffi- culties in accepting Jesus as the fulfillment of promise, until his miraculous conversion and commis- sion 'to the Gentiles; (3) that the hostility of the Jews grew out of his zeal for wlat Moses and the prophets had distinctly taught (23). - 6. The hope of the promise"â€"‘In- cluding the resurrection of all Jews to share in the Messianic kingdom, a: well as the coming of the Mes- siah. 8. The question is equval-ent to, “Why not believe that Jews was raised from the dead?” 9. Contrary to the name of Jesus â€"â€"In order to stifle confusion of it. 10. Gave my vote against themâ€"â€" Establishing the fact that Paul was a member of the Sanhedrin.‘ 11. Punishing them . . . in all the synagoguesâ€"In various places in the Gospels we find references to the synagogues as places in which men were accused and punished (compare Matt. 10. 17). To make them blaspheme â€" To deny the name of Jesus. 16â€"18. Paul here summarizes sev- eral revelations. The command to preach to the Gentiles wasgiven later (compare Acts 22. 15 and 21). 22. To small and greatâ€"The Lord had said that he should hear: his name before kings (Acts 9. 15). 22, 23. The teaching of the pro- phets and Moses was: (1) that Mesâ€" siah should come ; (2) that he should suffer; (3) that he should rise again from the dead; (4) that he should be preached to the Gentiles. 24. Much learningâ€"The many writings, literally. Referring to Paul’s conversauc-e with the legal and prophetic literature of his na- tion. I » 25. Note the good-natured and courteous form cf'Paul’s reply. In the Greek, soberncss is the exact opposite of madness. _ 2S. Withe but little persuasion thou wouldest fain make me a Christianâ€"This is preferable to the old translation. “Almost thou persuadest me” is hardly a possible rendering. The idea is, apostle is foolish to suppose he can with so little trouble win the kipg over to the side of the despised Nazarene. . 29. Lumby’s paraphrase :, “Inlay- have seemed to use little persuaâ€" sion, and suddenly to have jumped at- thc conclusion that you accept the teaching of the prophets as I myself receive it; but whether it need little or much persuasion, or little or much time, my prayer to God is, for you and for all who lisâ€"l thy to enter into the lifeketernal.

In a certain home was the over-indignant mo-i thcr of three daughters. You can, just imagine .what the week’s; washing was with dresses for all! of those girls, each with three or". four petticoats, besides many other- .articlcs. This mother did the warhn ing, ironing, cooking, baking and about everything imaginable, and the daughtersâ€"well, they were. “cultured” and did not do very, much of anything except eat the, good meals and wear the clean! clothes. One day the father, called the mother aside. The two had a long talk and he admitted he was not able to hire a domes~ tic. The next day the usual comm plaint was made by the girls about the poor dinner and the mother, quietly got up, went to her room,x dressed and came downstairs. She carried a heavy suitcase and s-top-’ ..cd long enough to tell the chil~. .ren that she hoped they would have a better meal the next days Their father took her to the stag tion and she was away from home‘ one month. Every one of those!3 girls learned to cook, bake, scrub and look after the house, although they admitted that for a week they. lived on bakers’ bread, lemonade, quince preserves and either sal- mon or sardines. It was a hard lesson for them to learn, but they knew the value of their mother af- ter that. WORDS THAT wmen. which we do not Every evil to , - *1 bcneiactor.â€"â€"l:mcr~ succumb is a son.
