(Canadian Farmers
profit From Wheat
The war's devastation of
European crops has caused
an unusual demand for grain
from the American Conti
nent. The people of the world must
be fed and wheat near $2 a bushel
offers pjeat profits to the farmer.
Canada's invitation is therefore
especially attractive. She wants
settlers to make money and happy,
prosperous homesfor themselves by
helping her raise immense wheat crops.
You can get a nomonfead of 160 acres FREE
and other lands at rerfi.tiliably low pricri. During many
years Canadian wheat fields have averaKrd 2U bushels to
the arre ninny yields a' high a 45 bushels to tlie acre.
Wonderful crops also of Oals, Barley and Flax.
Mixed farming as profitable an industry ss grain rais

Wine In the Scriptures Is spoken of
under four aspects. First, social, that
us illustrated by Its use ut the mar
riage In Cann. We must not, however,
confuse this wino with the spirituous,
strong drink of this present day. Sec
ond, medicinal (I'rov. 31:0-7; I Tim.
5:23). These passages do not com
mand us to use It us such, and Cod
has very graciously revealed to us
In modern medical research the futil
ity of the use of alcohol In the matter
of medicine ns a remedy. Third, sacri
ficial wine (Matt. HI! :27-'J!; Luke 22:17
20), und, fourth wine is spoken about
as productive of the woes of men (See
Amos 0:1; Ileb. 2:15; l'rov. 23:211).
it Is also mom IiiihmI hy way of contrast
(See Kph. 5:1S).
The Scriptures speak of drunkards
In four different ways: (1) They are
to be stoned (I lout. 21 :20) ; (2) I trunk
urds lead to poverty (l'rov. 23:21);
(.'!) Itruukimls are to be separulrd
from other men (I Cor. 5:11); (I)
they are to be finally separated from
Cod (I Cor. 0:P).
' Abstinence from Mining drink Is en
Joined in the Script ores under three
heads: (1) (lie priest and Nazurito !
(Num. 0:11; Luke 1:15); (.') the ruler i
(l'rov. 111:!); (.'() those who me to !
worship Jehovah (Lev. 10:.';). j

As a "tempest of hail"; (2) us a "do
! slroving Morm;" (.'!) as a "tempo.-t
' of mighty waters overllowing." The
j thoimht contained Is that of widc
j spread and overwhelming destruction.
; I'.ack of this work of devastation and
I dcslruction and desolailon u.is the
I wrath of Cod against sin (Ch. 2:1 H).
1 All earthly pride shall he trodueu 1111
! der foot. Samaria, "a fading lluwer,"
j was to be greedily eaten up by tlie 011
i coming enemy.
j II. Those Reached by Intemperance.
Wrong drink causes men to err in their
conduct, in their moral Insight, in I heir
judgments. It reaches the licautii'ul
I (v. 1); It reaches the learned (v. 7);
I It reaches those in authority; In fact
I nil classes. It leads men to the depths
; of degradation and to the loss of their
j wills (v. 8); It makes men to become
beasts, wallowing III their own vomit.
Not only Samaria, but "these also"
(vv. 7 and 8), that Is people of Jeru
salem have erred through wine and
strong drink. L'veii the priests and
the prophets had and do so now (See
Ch. 50:10-12; Mietih 2:11). The priests
were especially Inexcusable because of
the plain directness of Cod's word
(Lev. 10:!)-10; KzeKiel 11:21). The
result of their Inteiniwranco was that
they utterly failed in their otlieiul
acts. They reeled In vision and .stum
bled in Judgment. The ue of wine
nnd strong drink made their social
gatherings filthy ami disgusting. Tem
perance is the habit of abstaining from
everything that destroys. It is the con
trol and right use of Cod's good gifts
for service. Intemperance is lack of
control or the wrong use of Cud's
gifts lu self-indulgence. Hence the
sins of the priests, which were against
light, and therefore without excuse.

basAory"
Is Your Back Stiff,
Lame and Achy?
Do Weak Kidneys Keep You Sick,
Tired and All Worn Out?
IF YOU have a constant, dull ache, or sharp pains whenever
you bend or twist your back, and the kidney secretions seem
disordered, too, don't waste time plastering or rubbing the bad
back. It's likely that the cause is kidney weakness, and delay
in treating the kidneys may invite uric acid poisoning, gravel,
dropsy or fatal Origin's disease.
Get Dean's KUncy Pills, a special remedy for weak kidneys,
used around the world and publicly recommended by 50,000
people in the U. S. A.

symptom and kept Browing worse.
The kidney secretions became un

Chicago's Hull House.
Tho Hull House, one of Iho first
American settlements, was established
In Chicago In September, lSSi). It rep
resented no association, but ' was
opened by two women backed by many
friends, In the belief that the mere
foothold of n house, easily accessible,
situated In the midst of the large for
eign colonies, would In Itself be serv
iceable In a large city. Tho Hull House
work consists of class lectures, public
discussions, trade unions, arts and
crafts, a music school, a theater, a
American Distaste for Privacy.
Tho great novelist or the great com
poser can nfford a telephoncless hut
or flat, nnd so gain enough peace and
quiet to think. Plain Americans must
have the telephone at their elbow day
and night or go out of business so
cially ns well as commercially. The
Joyousncss with which Americans
have welcomed the telephone to their
cars and Hps no doubt flows In part at
least from our national distaste for
privacy. We don't pull down our
hades at night and we hate hedges
gymnasium, various social clubs, a cof
fee house, n day nursery, etc. Jano
