t To Admire Babies
Our altrustlc nature Impels love for the
cooing Infant. And at the same time
the subject of motherhood Is ever before
us. To know what to do that will add
to the physical comfort of expectant
motherhood is a subject that has Inter
ested most women of all times. One of
the real helpful things is an external
abdominal application sold In most drug
stores under the name of "Mother's
Friend." We have known so many grand
mothers, who in their youncer days
relied upon this remedy, and who recom
mend it to their own daughters that it
certainly must be what Its name Indi
cates. They have used it for Its direct
influence upon the muscles, cords, liga
ments and tendons as It aims to afford
relief from tne strain and pain so often
unnecessarily severe during the period of
expectancy.
Every woman should mention "Mother's
Friend" when the stork Is the subject of
conversation. An Interesting little book
Is mailed free upon application to Brad
field Regulator Co.. 405 I.amar Bids.,
Atlanta, Ga. It refers to many things
that women like to read about.
Get or recommend a bottle of "Mother's
Friend" to-day and writs for the book.

GRAY HI NOW
Druggist Says Ladies are Using
Recipe of Sage Tea and
Sulphur
Hair that loses its color and luster,
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless, is caused by a lack of sulphur
In tho hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful,
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so at
tractive, use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for a
50 cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound," which darkens
the hair so naturally, so evenly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied. Besides, it takes off dandruff,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at
it time. By morning the gray hair dis
appears: but what delights the ladies
with Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur is
that, besides beautifully darkening the
3iair after a few applications, it also
brings back the gloss and luster and
gives it an appearance of abundance.

For Catarrhal Deafness
and Head Noises
Here in America there is much suf
fering from catarrh and heail noises,
American people would do well to con
sider tho method employed by tho Eng
lish to combat this insidious disease.
Everyone knows how damp the English
i limate is and how dampness affects
those suffering from catarrh. In Eng
land they treat catarrhal deafness and
head noises as a constitutional disease
and use an internal remedy for it that
is really very efficacious.
Sufferers who could scarcely hear a
watch tick tell how they had their
heaving restored by this English treat
ment to such an extent that the tick
of a watch was plainly audible seven
and eight Inches away from either ear.
Therefore, if you know someone who
is troubled with catarrh, catarrhal
deafness or head noises, cut out this
formula and hand it ti them and you
will have been tile means of saving
some poor sufferer perhaps from total
deafness. The prescription can be eas
ily prepared at home for about 75c and
is made as follows:
From your druggist obtain 1 oz. of
Parm'nt (Double .Strength), about 73c
wort a. Take this home, and add to it
'i pint of hot water und 4 ounces of
granulated sugar: stir until dissolved.
Take a tablespoonful four times a day.
Parinint is used in this way not only
<o reduce by tonic action the inflamma
tion and swelling in the Eustachian
Tubes, and thus to equalize the air
pressure on the drum, but to correct
>;i:y exc-ees of secretions in the middle
ear, -nd the results it gives are usu
allv remarkably quick and effective.
Kvery person who lias catarrh in any
form should give this recipe a trial and
free themselves from the destructive
disease.—Advertisement.

Jonathan and His Armor-bearer
Practiced Wonderful
Strategy
SLEW TWENTY HEBREWS
International S. S. Lesson Is "Jon
athan and His Armor-bearer,"
I Sam., 14:1-46
(By William T. Ellis)
"Somebody said It couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe It couldn't, but he would
be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.
So he buckled right In, with a trace
of r grin
On his face. If he worried, he hid It.
He started to sing as ho tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done, and he did
History loves Jonathan, because
he himself was a great lover (of
which more in a later lesson) and
because he dared to do the deed that
daunted his father and his soldiers.
This is a hero tale from Israel's his
tory. Intrepid Jonathan and his
armorbearer performed a feat that
would have won him an Iron cross or
a Victoria Cross if done in the pres
ent war. These two, by a single
brave strategem, an "impossible
achievement, put to rout the Philis
tine and won a great victory for
Israel. ,
It was a dark day with Israel.
Many years had elapsed since the
brilliant conquest of the Ammonites
by Saul, recorded in last week's les
son. A new foe had come up from
the West, almost irre3istably. The
PhllisUnes —whose name by the way,
is perpetuated in the present title of
the land, Palestine —a mysterious peo
ple from over the sea, and possibly
from Crete, had settled on the marl
time plain of Canaan. They lirst ap
pear in the time of the judges, and
continue in history until the Christian
era. Their power increased steadily,
until this great battle with Israel, in
spired by Jonathan's valor. For a
time prior to this the Israelites seem
to have yielded to their suzerainty,
even having been disarmed by them,
as the Arabs and Druses and Mace
donians were disarmed, a few years
ago, by the Turks. Saul had trouble
with these militant people throughout
his reign, but his successor. David,
conquered them. The monuments
abound in contemporary allusions to
the Philistines and their five ruling
cities. At this very hour, strife is be
ing waged between Turkey and Britain
over the ground along the Mediter
ranean where often the Philistines
fought.
The Valedictory of a Prophet
Two events stand out between this
thrilling story of Jonathan's feat and
that of his father, which we consid
ered last week. One of these was
Samuel's valedictory, delivered before
the assembled nation at Gilgal, down
on the Jericho plain. In it he for
mally and regally surrendered the
leadership of the nation to the new
king, and gave an accounting of his
oftice. Ho called all the people to wit
ness that he was free from taint of
graft or self-serving. "Here am I, '
he cried In the phrase which is most
characteristic of him: was there any
body to witness against him? A brave
man standing on his clean record chal
lenges admiration.
All the thoughts of grand old Sam
uel were thoughts of his people and
their God. His parting words were a
summons to loyalty to faith. As God s
advocate he pleaded with them to re
member Jehovah. Then, as he went
into retirement, he promised that ho
would serve them as an intercessor.
"Moreover as for me, far be.lt from
me that I should sin against Jehovah
in ceasing to pray for you: but I will
Instruct you In the good and the right
way." Often the post of greatest
power is the place of prayer. One
sometimes wonders whether, in these
rravc days, Christians are praying
constantly for the nation, the church
and all mankind.
Second of the notable events re
corded prior to the day's lesson is
Saul's sin in offering to sacrifice be
fore his waiting army, without tarry
ing for the prophet's appearance, as
directed. He treated the sacrifice as
a mere formality, to be gone through
with, and in his vanity, he did not
hesitate to put himself in the place
of the priest. For this disobedience,
and failure to wait before God as
commanded, Saul had to hear the
dread news that the sceplre would
pass from his hand and house: he
would not be the founder of Israel's
royal line. Like many a man since,
Saul lost his kingship by putting his
own plans ahead of the clear word
of the Lord.
A People in Panic
So it was a gloomy company, and
a small one that waited with Saul
at the stronghold of Geba, across a
deep ravine from the Philistine gar
rison at Mich mash. Terror had been
driven into the hearts of the Jews by
the oppressions and triumphs of the
Philistines. Some were hiding in
caves and ravines and in the wilder
ness. Others had abjectly cast their
lot with their conquerors, becoming
vassals. None had weapons, save the
:lng and Jonathan. Dark and des
oerate Indeed was the outlook for Is
rael, for that worst of all calamities
had' occurred, the hearts of the people
had grown fearful. The heroic spirit
BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have Discovered Dr.
Edwards' Olive Tablets Are
a Harmless Substitute
Dr Edwards' Olive Tablets—the sub
stitute tor calomel —are a mild but sure
laxative and tlielr effect on the liver is
almost Instantaneous. They are tho
result of Dr. Edwards' determination
not to treat liver and bowol complaints
with calomel. His efforts to banisli It
brought out these little olive-colored
ta These pleasant little tablets do the
uood that calomel does but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
aulclsly correct It. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
It is best not to take calomel, but to
let Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets take its

seemed to be dormant, or to have dis
appeared.
This discouraged nation needed a
tonic of heroism and faith. Sarah K.
Bolton has some stirring lines that
carry the message for such times:
"I like the man who faces what he
must,
With step triumphant and a heart of
cheer,
Who fights'the daily battle without
fear. „ w
Sees his hopes fail, yet keeps unfalter
ing trust
That God is God —that somehow, true
and just,
His plans work out for mortals; not
a tear
Is shed when fortune, which the world
holds dear,
Falls from his grasp; better with love
Than living in dishonor; envies not.
Nor loses faith In man, but does his
best,
Xor even murmurs at his humbler lot,
But, with a smile and words of hope
gives zest
To every toiler. He alone is great
Who, by a life heroic, conquers fate."
Wlicn Courage Has Brains
There is a place in the annals of
Ills time for the man who possesses j
both bravery and brains. Courage j
is commoner than wisdom. Jonathan
seems to have had both to a rare de
gree. A perception of occasions, and
the daring to utilize them, were his
to an extraordinary degree. He was
a hero with horse sense. Apparently
this high-hearted youth was favored
from birtli with a noble spirit. He
had grown up doing the unselfish and
the fearless thing. His manhood
achievements were made possible by
Ills boyhood habits.
In life's small things be resolute and
great
To keep thy muscle trained; know st
thou when Fate
Thy measures takes, or when she'll
say to thee,
"I find thee worthy; do this deed for
me?" -—Lowell.
Thus it came about that tlio stout
est heart in Israel on tlio dark day
of the Philistine visitation beat in
the breast of Prince Jonathan. The
positions of the forcps was the fac
tor of ilvst importance. Between
Michmaeh, the Philistine fortress, on
the north and Geba on the south,
where Saul's depleted and negligible
host were encamped, ran a great ra
vine. The sides of Miclimash were
precipitous, and presumably unscal
able, like the cliff of 1-ookout Moun
tain, Tennessee, where a somewhat
similar feat was performed during the
Civil War. So sure were the enemy
of their own strength and the foe's
weakness that they left the garrison
in the possession of a handful of men
while they went out. in three columns,
on a marauding expedition.
Audacious and reckless, as well as
heroic Jonathan's strategem seemed,
for he proposed to his armorbearer
that they should scale the cliff and
try the fortunes of their swords
upon the unsuspecting garrison. No
body. not even Saul himself, was
told of the plan. They might pre
vent it, and certainly they would scoft
at the young adventurers as fools.
Nothing is clearer in the history of
the world and of our own day than
that greatest results are secured by
Individuals who have dared, despite
prudence and self-interest, to fling
themselves fearlessly into high and
holy and seemingly hopeless causes. The
cause of Christ to-day needs nothing
more than consecrated men and wom
en who will give themselves undl
videdly to Ills service, in local com
munities, in public life and in world
politics. The great battles of the
twentieth century are to be won by
those who dare to be devoted for the
sake of man and God.
Victory For the Valiant
Jonathan's ruse worked. Falling
unexpectedly upon the unprepared
remnant that garrisoned the rock, the
two Hebrews slew twenty of them—a
bit of strategy not uncommon in war
fare. Others fled and met the return
ing columns. Panic and mad fear
took possession of all. Philistine
fought with Philistine, and it seemed
as if the very earth trembled.
The commotion was seen from the
camp of Saul and, rather belatedly,
his host got into action. Then the
Jews among the Philistines saw that
their hour had come to strike a blow
for their nation, and they did so.
Refugees from the hill country
swarmed into the melee. "And there
was a very groat discomfiture," as the
record runs.
The nation was served and saved
by a heroic prii.oe who dared do a
desperate deed for God. Along with
the message of patriotism and re
sourcefulness which we inherit from
brave Jonathan Is the other greatest
one—
"Boldness, yet more boldness, and
over boldness."
