KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy—lf You Know Dr.
Edward's Olive Tablets
The secret of keeping younit is to
feel young—to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels—there's no need
"f having a sallow complexion—dark
rings under your eyes—pimples—a bil
ious look in your face—dull eyes with
no sparkle.
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.
You will know Dr. Edwards' Olive
Tablets by their olive color. 10c and
25c per box. All druggists.

! influences children who affects the fu-,

That scientist's mistake is being,
daily repeated by the organized

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

tions in the Southland. A Scotch min
ister once said to a friend, who asked
I him about his accessions at the pre

i that boy was Robert Moffet, the great.:

Ouc latest problems may gain light

, Signature of
| ments to which the human mind Is j
■capable. Jealousy, rivalry, fear and!
| deceit go hand-in-hand with plural |
{marriage or its equivalent. Elkanah,
[had two wives. 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." |

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and No
body Will Know
The use of- Sage and Sulphur for \
restoring faded, gray hair to its natur- V
a I color dates back to grandmother's
ime. She used it to keep her lialr
| beautifully dark, glossy and abundant.
Whenever her hair fell out or took on
j that dull, faded or streaked appear
|ance, this simple mixture was applied
; with wonderful effect.
Hut brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
! any drug store for a 50-cent bottle'of
j "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Coa»-
; pound," you will get this famous old
[recipe which can be depended upon to
restore natural color and beauty to the
hair and is splendid for dandruff, dry,
feverish, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it ha»
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking 0119
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two it
beautifully dark, glossy, and abundant.
