To keep well is to keep clean, inside. To relieve headache, and to prevent it, keep the liver active and industrious and the bowels as regular as a clock. Two generations of healthy, vigorous people have done this by taking one pill at bedtime, regularly—a larg er dose when nature gives the warning.

WHEN FOLKS ARE LIKE SHEEP The International Sunday School Lesson For April 15 Is, "Jesus the Good Shepherd." John 10:1-18. By William T. Ellis. Sheep, Just sheep, that's what we are! witless, wilful, woeful, wondering sheep. It is not flattering, but it is true. The old Hebrew prophet knew peo ple when he cried, "All we like sheep have gone astray"—the point of that remark being that men and women be have quite like sheep, especially In their sinning. Stupidest and silliest of all ariimals, as well as weakest, are sheep; and they go astray in the same fashion as folks—by following some old bell welter. If It were not for this un reasoning crowd instinct in us; if our hymn of ethics wtre not "Every body's Doing It"; if we did not all de light to "follow a multitude to do evil"; there would be less difficulty about solving the great human prob lems of our time. Suppose we stop our strutting long enough to confess that, after all, in our innermost selves, we are like sheep. We all want to follow fashions, especially the foolish ones. We dress alike, we eat alike, we think alike. Existence Is one long effort after con formity. Like school girls, we have a horror of being "different." Let any thing become "the vogue," no matter how absurd or needless or hurtful It may be, and we trample upon one an others' coat-tails in order to follow the fashion—though following fashion is often to fashion folly. This sheep instinct is responsible for most of our bad habits, from the use of cigarets to the mortgaging of our home to buy automobiles. Whenever a young man or woman rises up in appreciation of his human heritage, and says, "I will not be a sheep"—and the event is rare enough to make news for the papers—then there is born one who will be a leader of men. As individual, independent, daring:, adventuring spirits we are fashioned by God; but an evil world bends all its powers to transforming us into fatu ous, following, gregarious sheep, hud dling in the cactus fold of convention ality, or else straying into fields that do not feed but only hurt. Man's problem with man (and it Is also God's) is how to develop per sonalities. With that end in view, progressive spirits are challenging our entire educational system. The acid test is also being applied to democracy itself. Nor does the church escape; harsh critics have declared that pious folk are commonly nonentities; and that the merely good are nothing else —only zeros in the problem of life. For the final test of every order and institution and method in this: Does it create character and make for in dividual manhood? Jesus came bring ing life, more life, real life; and every spirit he touched was lifted above the negative plane of commonplaceness and developed into a real personality. The sign of the cross is a plus sign. Foes and Frailties of the Flock Almost every other created ani mal has some method of self-protec tion, but the sheep has none. Even the parrots of Australia slap the sheep. Dogs, wolves, lions, bears, snakes, eagles—what a multitude of ; foes the sheep has to fear! Its only to stop dandruff and loss of hair with Resinol Here is a simple, inexpensive treatment that will almost always stop dandruff and scalp itching, and keep the hairthick, live and lustrous: At night, spread the hair apart and rub a little Resinol Ointment into the scalp gently, with the tip of the finger. Repeat this until the whole scalp has been treated. Next morn ing, shampoo thoroughly with Res inol Soap and hot water. Work the creamy Resinol lather well into the thescalp. Rinse with gradually cool er water, the last water being cold. Resinol Soap and Resinol Ointment easily heal eczema and similar skin-eruptions. Sold by all drurgiats.

From storm and stumbling, from beast and bird, from panic and pitfall, the sheep's only succor is the shepherd. Therein the parable fits the Chris tian. He is of himself weak. Perils plentifully surround him. Within and without are dangers. Alas for him if he has not learned that his strength is in his Shepherd. He keeps safe only when he is kept safe. Apart from the Saviour he is ever in dan ger. Simple and childlike —yet need ed by the veteran warrior of Qod—is the teaching of the lesson that the safety of the sheep lies only In the Good Shepherd. Mankind never out grows the comfort of the "Shepherd Psalm," uttered by the King of Is rael who once kept the flocks on Beth lehem's hillside, where, a thousand years later, other shepherds heard ;the minstrelsy of the skies: "Jehovah Is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down In green pastures; He ieadeth me besides still waters. He restoreth my soul; He guideth me In the paths of righte ousness for his Name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me In the presence of mine enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup runneth over. Surely goodness and loving-kindness shall follow me all the days of my life; And I shall dwell in the house of Je hovah forever." Some Slicphcrd Traits What can the city dweller In Amer ica, or even the occupant of the sheep wagon on the western plains, know about the intimacy and simplicity of the shepherd life of Syria? How of ten have I watched it, by night and by day-—the shepherd leading his flock homeward, piping musically the while, beneath the eastern slope of Mt. Carmel; or the watchers hud dled over a tiny fire beneath the cold starlight of the regions east of the Jordan. Very friendly and close is the relationship between the oriental shepherd and his flock. A glimpse of the qualities of the Saviour-Shepherd, who called himself "the good shep herd," may be obtained through it. In a moving book, "Beckonings from Little Hands," Mr. Patterson Du bois tells of the scrawl found among the possessions of a child who had been shepherded Into the heavenly fold: "God is love. He loves lambs." That babe uttered the first great fact about the Good Shepherd; his care is tenderest for the weakest. He who gathers the lambs in his bosom has led the race into a new solicitude for the welfare of childhood. Out of this quality in Christ sprung the modern Sunday school movement, and the new pedagogy, and universal education and civilization's slogan, "women and chil dren first." The Good Shepherd knows his sheep. There is not a weakness nor a perversity In any one of them that he does not wholly understond. He makes allowances. To him sheep arc not mere as they are to the abattoir; they are his own flock, each named and loved for itself. The stu pendousness of this truth, that God is not too great to condescend to the slightest need of the lowliest life, needs the simple faith of childhood to grasp It. In weak times let tcrs do not lead; they follow the crowd. But the Good Shepherd always goes before his flock. His leadership is real and active and continuous. Difficulties do not daunt him, problems do not perplex him. There is no standing still for the flock of Christ. They are not caged creatures in a park. They go in and out and. find pasture, when they follow him. Life Is large and enlarging; varied and abundant, when the shep herdship of Jesus is accepted. In the gravest and greatest times, such as we are now witnessing, the leadership of the Good Shepherd is adequate; he will lead his flock Into new, sweet pastures through all the scarred and bloody paths of war. One other truth about the Good Shepherd is that he lays down his life for the sheep. That is the su preme test of love and loyalty. Let us tarry for a moment to consifler the millions who have been gloriously meeting it in the past three years. Men of most of the nations of the earth have given this last full meas ure of devotion; they have laid down their lives for the cause and country they loved. We are to prone to listen to the shriekings of sentimentalists who think that the loss of life is the worst thing in the world. They stay at home and spend money (usually other people's money) in propagating the craven creed that physical hurt is the supreme evil; and that life is to be preserved at all costs. Rather let us head the unboasting practice of the millions of men supported In their action by mothers, wives and sweethearts who have deliberately and definitely offered their lives on the altar of love and loyalty. In the light of our own day, we read new significance into the words of the Good Shepherd, "Therefore doth the Father love Me, because X lay down my life." A Man as a Door When I traveled through India, my servant would every night curl up at the door of my room and sleep. No body could enter or leave except by stepping over htm. The fact illumi nates the figure of the Good Shep herd, that he himself is the door of the sheep. Shepherds sometimes close the entrance to the sheep--fold in this same fashion. The imagery is per fectly clear to an oriental: there is no entrance into the fold of Christ ex cept by Christ himself. That is the cardinal truth stressed by the Refor mation, the four hundredth anniver sary of which is beink kept this year No church, no creed, no minister and no council can save a soul; the only door into life is by Christ himself. In the face of Jewish eccleslastlcism Jesus uttered this. The loaders of the Jews had excommunicated the blind man whom the Master had healed The comfort Christ gave him was, "What matter? They really have no authority. I alone am the door. There is no entrance except by me." "Men love three, serve thee, praise thee, not. The Master praises—what are men?" Life for the Christian is wholly a matter of loyalty to Christ. . The groat truth of spiritual independence underlies the figure of the Good Shep herd. By him, and by him alone, we find life. A Christless creed leads only to barren pastures. But all who hear his voice—and he says his sheep can recognize his tones, even when they are heard in the guise of strange providences—find the green pastures of succulence and safety and satlßfac ,tion. CANNOT RECOGNIZE VOLUNTEERUNITS War Department Appreciates Spirit, but May Not Con sider Requests Many requests for authority to raise organizations of volunteers and for the recognition of bodies of men in process of organization are being re ceived in the War Department, and while the military authorities are duly appreciative of the patriotism of those who wish to aid in this way in the national defense movements through out the country, yet there is at the present time no law or regulation un der which these requests can be favor ably considered. If the plan of raising a Volunteer army should be adopted, provision would then be made for the organiza tion of volunteer military units throughout the country, but before any such plan can be adopted legislation by Congress must be enacted author izing the same. In the absence of any such legislation it is of course im possible to supply any definite informa tion concerning the procedure that should be followed In such matters. The War Department is naturally anxious to promote interest in the na tional defense movement in any way that It reasonably can, but pending the enactment of additional legislation the only way in which volunteer organi zations already formed or in process of formation can receive any assist ance from the general government is through the medium of rifle clubs or ganized In accordance with rules pro mulgated by the National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice, to which the War Department Is author ized, under existing law, to furnish such arms and accessories as may be necessary to carry out the aims of such clubs. Inquiry relative to forming such a club should be addressed to General Pred H. PhilllpH, Jr., Secretary National Rifle Association of America, 1108' Woodward Building, Washington, D. C. Inquiry concerning the procedure to be followed in organizing bodies of men for the State service should be Addressed to the Adjutant General ot the State. The War Department has no author ity to furnish drill regulations or sim ilar military publications to persons not in the active military service of the United States, but p.'lnted matter of that character can probably be pur chased practically at cost from the Superintendent of Documents, Govern ment Printing Office, Washington. D. C. In connection with the general sub ject it may not be out of the way to suggest that suitable men for enlist ment In the regular army and in the National Guard are in great demand at the present time, as both of these forces are now below the authorized minimum strength. The enlisted re serve corps and the regular army re- What America Will Do To Help Beat Germany The die is cast. The American people take up the gage of battle which has been forced upon them by the German Government, and will go into the war "up to the hilt" to defend American rights on land and sea, and the fundamental principles of democracy. It will be no purely defensive war upon which America embarks, for President Wilson in his message to Congress called upon the country "to exert all its power and all its resources to bring the Government of the German Empire to terms and end the war" because "the world must be made safe for democracy." Th THE LITERARY DIGEST for April 14th, public opinion as to the practical steps which should be taken is shown.
