DR. CALDWELL'S THREE RULES Dr. Caldwell watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, con- stipation will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting as close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for consti- pation is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the most delicate system and is not habit forming. The Doctor never did approve of dras- tic physics and purges. He did not believe they were good for human beings to put into their system. Use Syrup Pepsin for yourself and members of the family in constipation, biliousness, sour and crampy stomach, bad breath, no appetite, head- aches, and to break up fevers and colds. Get a bottle today, at any drugstore and observe these three rules of health: Keep the head cool, the feet warm, the bowels open. For a free trial bottle, just write up Pepsin,” Dept.

Man Lost When Out of the Right Relationship to Almighty God By REV. W. 8, COOK, Cleveland. A man is “lost” when he is out of right relationship with God. No chapter in the gospels throws more light on the character of Jesus than the fifteenth of Luke. It is the incidental rather than the Jesus knew the value of a sheep. If it were lost it was worth hunt- ing for. When it was found there was rejoicing. A coin had value and there was joy when it was found. A man lost and then found must cer- the chapter at the beginning sets forth the contrast. “The Son of Man came to seck and save the lost.” When is a man lost? We have a right to inquire. A man is lost when he is out of his right relationship with his Heavenly Father. In for its father it is lost. The father has suffered life's greatest tragedy. When the prodigal said “I will arise and go by my father” he was found. 4t was Jesus’ business to set in motion influences which would re- store right relations between the Father and His children.
