Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent, of all sickness comes from inactive bowels and liver. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician In Ohio, perfected a vegetable com pound mixed with olive oil to act on the liver and bowels, which he gave to his patients for years. Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the sub stitute for calomel, are gentle in their action, yet always effective. They bring about that exuberance of spirit, that natural buoyancy which should be enjoyed by everyone, by tonins: up the liver and clearing the stem of Impurities.

He might more reason-' ablv have been overwhelmed had h^ : Deen talking to the same number of! j children. For it is the person who: ! influences children who affects the fu-, :ture of the world. That scientist's mistake is being, daily repeated by the organized church. She is running after the great j and mighty. She is more pleased to j have the partial approbation of a mil -1 lionaire or a statesman than to have! ithe life devotion of a child. Down In I ! Augusta, thirty years ago. two per-j sons were taken into the Presbyterian I I church: one an old man of seventy.' and the other a little boy. Pastor and ' elders were delighted over the acees-1 • slon of the old man: it was a victory! for the church. The other was only a j j boy. The old man has died long since, but that little boy is the leader of the [ organized laymen of the Southern I Presbyterian Church, who are assem- j : bling this month in two great conven tions in the Southland. A Scotch min ister once said to a friend, who asked I him about his accessions at the pre j ceding comjiiunion, "Only a boy." But i that boy was Robert Moffet, the great.: ! missionary. i The beautiful story from the Old j Testament, which is the day's Sunday !school lesson, calls us bar k to fundu-I : mentals and to the relative Importance {of the mother, the child and thet 1 church, the three greatest factors in! •civilization. A study of this idyl may freshen our ideals for our own times, ; and turn some persons back to a read . ing of the stories of the Old Testa ment. which make a permanent im pression on the imagination of child- I hood. The Seamy Side of Polygamy Ouc latest problems may gain light I from this old, old story. There Is no ! denying that the tendency to-day is to ! loosen up historic family ties, and to 'return, outside of the law. to the laxer | code of the poiygamist's days and [lands. "Advanced" thinkers on social I questions who are talking so loosely about the relation of man and woman, ! need to look deeper into what is in j volved in a plurality of wives, or a | multiplicity of "affinities." !The under side of polygamy is scum-covered with the worst sentI [CASTOR IA For Infants and Children ; In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears , Signature of | ments to which the human mind Is j ■capable.

Hannah, the child- 1 less one. he loved the better—for no , man ever loved two women alike. The rival jeered and taunted the) (childless favorite, and none of thei | clothes and jewels that the husband lavished on her could compensate for ( lack of a child at her breast. Wliat the Shrines Signify i Hannah is a normal type of woman-, ! hood, not only In her religious in stincts, but also in her yearning for' | her own children. The woman who j l wilfully turns aside from motherhood j is a worse citizen of her country than ■ the bewhiskered anarchist who throws I bombs and preaches revolution. That i type of womanhood is commoner in these artificial) modern days than ever; | before. ! The deepest desire of the women of the world, taking them in the large, Is Ito have sons. Before my mind there! j pass pictures of the shrines at which I ; have seen the women of many races praying for this supreme boon. One Japanese shrine in lovely Nikko was; j broken down with the weight of in- s ! scribed wooden prayers heaped upon I it. The women of Babylonia make 1 pilgrimage to the reputed tomb of I Ezra on the Tigris river, below Hag-1 I dad, to pray for sons. I have seen j black Sudanese parents traveling to, j the antiquities at Cairo to make the' same prayer. The Answered Prayer Many childless women are as griev-, ously misunderstood as Hannah when I she was worshipping in Shiloh. Every fibre of her being breathed one over-1 mastering petition. In the outer court; of the tabernacle she was praying with | such intensity, that she forgot her sur-j roundings. Her lips moved but no! words came forth. Watchful old Eli, S the priest, thought she was intoxicated j and rebuked her. Thus may the low- j est motives be attributed to highest | actions. When he learned the truth, he like every true minister, comfort-1 ed the disconsolate worshiper. Hannah's prayer was answered and \ she covenanted with Jehovah that her son should be His for divine service all' his life. Multitudes of men are in the' gospel ministry to-day because their mothers dedicated them in childhood, i It imparts new sanctity to, motherhood j to train her child for God and country. (■ This high service exalts life and calls. • forth the noblest passions. It was i j only yesterday that a father told me 1 ! • tlint he had given two of his sons toil | the army of one of the nations now at < i war and the younger to the deadly ar-jl jtillery. He said, "We believe it is a ■ sacred cause." , The Child In Church j, I The beautiful picture of the child i I Samuel ministering iu the tabernacle! I lis loved by artists and story-tellers and j teachers and childhood. It is an ob [Vious reminder for our own day that ,the child should be in the church. 'Youth's fair Howers are a better tem j poral offering than bullocks or goats or doves. Surely God would rather hear the childish voices of praise rais i ed in His house than the trained notes of high-salaried choirs. Great Britain lias inaugurated "A Children at ! Church" movement. America might emulate this. There was work in the old Shiloh tabernacle for the child Samuel: errands to run for Eli, the j priest, and a daily routine of small | tasks to be fulfilled. Xothing Is so ! useful in a house or an institution :as a small boy of the right sort. Flitting about the outer courts of jthe tabernacle we again see Samuel In his linen ephod. Every stiteh testi fied to a mother's love and pride. Year by year the parents came up to Shiloh to sacrifice. The child in the tabernacle belonged to Hannah and Elkanah and to Jehovah in partner ship. "And the child Samuel grew i on. and increased in favor both with Jehovah and also with men." That record was later written almost liter ally of another Child, who became the world's Minister and Saviour. The Voice in the Night The climax of the story of the child i is told best in the words of the BOOK itself: "And the child Samuel ministered unto Jehovah before Eli. And the • word of Jehovah was precious in jthose days: there was no frequent vis jion. And it came to pass at that time.! • when Ell was laid down in his place, I (now his eyes had begun to wax dim, |so that he could not see.) and the 1 lamp of God was not yet gone out, and Samuel was laid down to sleep, in the temple of Jehovah, where the ark of ; God was; that Jehovah called Samuel: (and he said Here am X. And he ran I unto Eli, and said. Here am I; for |thou callest me. And he said. I called I not: lie down again. And he went and | lay down. And Jehovah called yet {again, Samuel. And Samuel arose and | went to Eli. and said, Mere am T: for I thou r alledst me. And he answered, I called not. my son: lie down again. Now Samuel did not yet know Jeho vah, neither was the word of Jeho ! vah yet revealed unto him. And Je hovah tailed Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli. jand said, Here am I; for thou calledst une. And Eli perceived that Jehovan I had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go. lie down, and it shall be if He eall thee, thou shalt say, iSpeak. Jehovah, for Thy servant hear eth. So Samuel went and laid down in his place. "And Jehovah came, and stood, and ! called as at other times. Samuel. Sam- i uel. Then Samuel said. Speak: fori Thy servant heareth. And Jehovah I said to Samuel. Behold, I will do :ij thing in Israel at which both the ears' lof every one that heareth it shall ] tingle. In that day I will perform i • against Eli all that I have spoken I concerning hfc house, from the begin-! ning unto the end. For I have told ] him that 1 will judge his house fori ever, for the iniquity which he knew, j because his sons did bring a curse up-j on themselves, and he restrained them i not. And therefore I have sworn un-j j to the house of Eli. that the iniquity (if! 1 Eli's house shall not he expiated with I sacrifice nor offering for ever. "And Samuel lay until the morn ing, and opened the doors of the j house of Jehovah. And Samuel fear-1 ed to show Eli the vision. Then Eli | called Samuel, and said. Samuel, my son. And he said. Here am I. And | he said. What is the thing that Je-j hovah hath spoken unto thee'.' I pray! j thee, hide it not from me. God do so to thee, and more also, if thou hidej ! anything from me of all the things' i that He spake unto thee.. And Sam-! uel told hint every whit, and hid noth-j Ing from him. And he said, Jt is Je hovah: let Him do what seemeth Him good. "And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with hint, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. And all Israel from Dan even to Beer- j sheba knew' that Samuel was estab-1 lished to be a prophet of Jehovah. And j Jehovah appeared again in Shlloh: fori Jehovah revealed Himself to Samuel,! in Shlloh by the word of Jehovah." | Officials Plead Poverty in Railroad Rate Case j Special to The Telegraph | Philadelphia, Feb. 12.—-The Phila delphia and Reading Railway Com pany, to support the contention that Its business was a losing one. sub mitted additional evklenre before the Public Service <'oinmission In connec tion with the fare rate case brought I j by the South Jersey Commuters' Asso- j | elation in Camden yesterday.
