HAY FEVER 'Having used Peruna for catarrk and Siay fever, I can recommend it to all who ard sufering with the above diseases. I am happy to be able to say it has helped me wonderfully." -Mayme E. Smith. % 1 MISS MA YMB BMITH, .4 E. Mound Street, Columbus, Ohio. H AY FEVER is endemic catarrh. It is (_aused by some irritating substance in the atmosphere during the late summer months. It is generally thought that the pollen of certain weeds and flowers is the cause of it. Chan-e of locality seems to be the only rationaF cure. The use of Peruna, how ever. stimulates the nervous system to re sist the effect of the poisonous emanations and sometimes carries the victim through the hay fever season without an attack of the disease.

Har-ngton said: "This fall Mrs. Harrington discovered that the cholera had appeared among her chickens. I had heard somewliere * that there is nothing to beat salt as a disinfectant. I had the hired man clean the henhouse as clean as he could, wash it out thoroughly with just as strong brine as he oculd make, and fill every crack and crevice with the brine. He did so, and we haven't lost a hen since. I tried the same thing on my hogs when the cholera broke out among them, and I am sat isfied that I saved a lot of them and prevented a f-urther spread of the dis ease." FALL SPRAYING. Bulletin No. 254 of the State Ex periment Station, at Geneva, N. Y., holds out a little prospect of relief to the orchardist who finds spring all tioo short to allow of thorough spraying of his scale-infested trees. The re sults of extensive tests seem to show that fall spraying with sulphur washes is safe upon hardier varieties of fruit trees and as effective as spring spray ing, so far as scale destruction is con cerned. Some of the washes tested also appear to promise a shortening Sof time and decrease of trouble in preparation- of an effective compound.

HOW MANY OF US? Fail to Select Food Nature Demands to Ward Ofr Ailmenits. A Ky. lady, speaking about food, says: "I was accustomed to eating all kinds of ordinary food until, for some reason, indigestion and nervous prostreation set in. "After I had run down seriously my attention was called to the neces sity of some change in my diet, and I discontinued my ordinary breakfast and began using Grape-Nuts wltL- a good quantity of rich cream. "In a few days my condition clanged in a remarkable way, and I began to have a .Arength that I had never been possessed of before, a vigor of body and a poise of mind that amazed me. It was entirely new in my experience. 'My for-mer attacks of indigestion had been accompanied by heat flashes, and many times my condition was distressing with blind spells of dizzi ness, rush of blood to the head and neuralgic pains in the chest. "Since using Grape-Nuts alone for breakfast I have been free from these troubles, except at times when I have indulged in rich, greasy foods in quatity, then I would be warned by a pain under the left shoulder blade, and unless I heeded the warning the old trouble would come back, but when I finally got to know where these troubles originated I returned Vto my Grape-Nuts and cream and the pain and disturb-:.nce left very Qu.ek "I am now in prime health as a result of my use of Grape-Nts'."

Y.--Sunday morning, in the Classon Avenue Presbyterian Church, the aszistant pastor, :.ev. Earl E. Cleeland, preached on "Christ in Gethsemane." Among other things he said: The text to which I ask your atten tion is found in the twenty-sixth chanter of Matthew. at the thirty ni.th verse: "'iy Father, if it be pcssible, let this cup pass away from Me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt," which are the words, as Matthew has recorded them, of the thrice repeated prayer of our Lord in the place called Gethsemane. You recall the account of the Last Supper of the Lord with His disci ples, and the dark zcene in Geth semane which immediately followed. Telling the- disciples to "sit ye here while I go yonder and pray," Jesus "took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee" (James and John), "and began to be sorrowful and sore troubled. Then saith He unto tnem, 'My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; abide ye here and watch with Me.' And He went forward a little and fell on His face and prayed, saying: 'My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass away from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt.'" The gospel according to Luke goes on to tell us that then "there appeared unto Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him, and being in an agony He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground." I choose this text to-day as the result of a conversation some ten days ago, with one of the members of this church, and at the outset I want to acknowledge my indebtedness to him for the saggestion of this ser-' mon. Many passages, in Scripture, are variously interpreted and differently understood by Christian people, and students of the Bible especially, and often one wi' find that the great comrentators themselves are a:most diamtrically opposed to each other in the interpretations which they make. I find that our text to-day is ore o: those disputed passages. Sev eral of the authorities which I have consulted in the study of this prayer of Christ in Gethsemane took the view that Jesus feared and recoiled at the thought of His approaching death on the cross, and thus prayed to God, His Father, trying, if it were possible, to bend His will, and have the end accomplished by some other way than the cross. Only one commentator, as I recall now, took the view that our Lord's agonized prayer was instigated by the over whelnaing thought that He feared His life would be crushed out under neath the strain of mental suffering He was utndergoing, before He I reached the cross, and thus He prayed that this cup pass away from Him. The majority of Christian people, I believe, and as I find, more of the commentators do, attribute Christ's suffering in Gethsemane to the weak ness of His flesh, or humanity, to face the death that was before Him, and they interpret our text in this light. I a:n inclined, however, to cast my lot w:ith the minority, and interpret Chrlit's prayer as a plea to God for strength, that His life would not be crushed out underneath His terrible agony before the time appointed throu:.;h all the ages of prophecy be fore Him-that of His atonement on the ci oss for the sins of men. And in treating this passage let it be un derstc od that anything I may say has d ubtless been said hundreds of times before. I only wish to try to show, from Scripture, my position. and t herefore make no claims. I see no necessity of exercising our imaginations in endeavoring to show mysterious causes for our Lord's state of miiid in this prayer, when the reason for-His agitation is plainly given -in the Scriptural account itself. But now about this prayer of our Lord in the garden of Gethsemane. It seems incredible almost to think that Christian people will attribute less courage to the Son of God than they have seen in hundreds of exam ples of fearlessness through all the centuries past. Thinx of the thou sands of people who have unflinch ingly faced death and died a martyr's death with scarcely a quiver. And it would be almost irreverent in us at such a time as this to think of the numerous cases of criminals who walk with unfaltering steps to the electric chair or ascend. the gallows with all appearance of calmness. Some commentators, as has al ready been said, interpret this prayer as a revolting or halting of Christ at the thought of the approaching crucifixion, and the horrors which preceded it, and attendant to it; the' betrayal of Judas; Peter's denial, and the desertion of His disciples and all His followers; the humiliating trial, and insults of the rabble, and the liigering death on the cross. That It was because of the horrors of all these things that Christ here meant to ask God If there w'as not some other way of atoning for the sins of men, and that Christ only yielded to the cross to fulfill His Father's will. Those who advocate this view would thus mahe it out that our Lord for got for the moment, by reason of His suffering, the prophecies, and the plan of God in His redemption of the world, throughout the history of Israel: or if Christ did not forget that He tried to bend His Father's will to an atonement by some other way, and that Christ finally, after three unsuccessful attempts to bend God's will, yielded to the cross. Why Christian people try to ex plain away this pray'er in any such a weak way is difficult to understand. What does Christianity want with a weak Christ who feared a martyr's death? Our Lord was "a man of sor rows and acquainted with grief," and had been for three years preparing for the cross, and had on several oc casions before this told His disciples of the miarner of His death, and they could not understand at the time. To my mind, this prayer of Jesrs shows, on the contrary, the bravery of our Lord, and does not show any weakness. I am inclined to think that Christ had no thought of the cross during the time in which He made this prayer, save in His remote consciousness; but He was, just at that moment, fearful that His mortal body would succurib to the terrible strain He -:'as passing through. dur: ig this awful hour in Gethsemane. He felt that His life would be crushed out by this ter'rible agon:y, before H-e reached the cross, for does not one of the accounts tell us Christ's own words, "My soul is exceeding sorrow that, "being in agony. He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat be came as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground." And God heard and answered His prayer by sending an angel fror heaven, strengthening Himr. Jesus was not. here, seeking to bend His Father's will, but asking God for strength to reanh the cross, and God sent an anZel in ar.swer to that prayer. This is tne scriptural account of why our Lord was .n agon . This -cup, which Christ was drinking to the dregs, was the cup of God's wrath unen the sins of men. Christ was drinking the bitterness of the cup in our stead. His bloody sweat was a sprinkling, an antici pated atonement. upon the very ground which had been "cursed" be cause of man's sin. No imagination can feel. no words can describe the agony that Christ had to bear in Gethsemane. So why need we search our imagi' nations and try to manufacture mys terious explanations why Chrisi made this prayer when the answer and reason for the prayer. .is giver in the very account itself, in thc necessity of the angel's appearance? When Jesus said, "not My will but Thine. be done."' He resigned Himself to God's will. If He si-Duld die of agony, it was God's will. bul e prayed that this cup should pass from a ;m. But His atoning death was not to be there in Gethsemane. in the night, but He was to be lifted upon the cross of Calvary in ordei that all men would be drawn untc Him. We know that Christ's was a sensi tive nature bitt this is not saying that He was not brave. And there iE no reason to believe that He, In anti cipation of His death, would yiel to the thought any more than an or dinary man. So, therefore, because He suffered "even- unto death," a, He did, in the Garden of Gethsem ane, is in 't3elf an argument that HE was bearing more than the antici pation. So, therefore, let us not confo'unc Christ's suffering in Gethsemane t< lack of fortitude or bravery. Oui Lord was no stoic. He here felt tha1 His physical body was giving wa3 under an agony which no languagE can describe. Throughout the whole Old Testa ment period God. under the Levitica code o' laws, educated His chosex people to the fact that without thE shedding of blood there was no re mission of sins. All these forms of sacri. ficial atonement of the sins of Israe v-re typical of Christ, the Lamb o: God. And can it be supposed foi one moment that our Lord did noi fully realize this in Gethsemane? And throughout the whole New Tes. tament gospel, it is plainly state everywhere that our peace is througl the blood of the cross. Surely thei that great Paschal Lamb of God tha was to take away the sins of the world did not hesitate nor falter a' the approoach of the atonement b the shedding of His blood upon t.I cross. It was for the joy that set before Him that He endure the cross and despised shame, ani He won thereby His seat at the righ hand of the throne of God.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. INTERNATIONAL LESSON COM-1 MENTS FOR SEPTEMBER 1G. Subject: Jesus Silences the Pharisees and Sadducees, Mark xii., 13-27 -Colden Text, Mark xii., 1 Memory Verse. 27. 1. A deputation comes to Chr'st (v. 13). 13. "They." The Phari sees as a whole appointed cer'a.n ones to visit Jesus for the purpose of inducing Him to say sonehing that would refute His claims as the Mes siah or that would give ground for an accusation against Him before the government. "Certain-Pharisees." Matthew says "their disciples." Prob ably young and zealous scholars. "Herodians." The -ferodians wer'e a political party rather than a relig ious sect. "To catch Him." Mat thew says "entangle Him." A meta phor drawn from catching wild birds. It was their purpose to ensnare Him in His talk so they could expose His ignorance of the Jewish law or relig ion. or tind grounds for legal pro ceedings against imr. II. A question concerning our duty as citizens (vs. 14-17). 14. "Master, we know," etc. This was a hypocritical compliment. They hope by their treacherous flattery to in duce Him to commit Himself to some rebellious sentiment. "Is it lawful?" etc. Caesar was a name common to all the emporors, derived originally from Julius Caesar, the proper foun der of Roman imperialism in the place of the old republic. The pres ent emperor was Tiberius. The trib ute was a poll tax, or levy of a dena rius upon every person, imposed by the Roman Government ever since Judea had become a province. The Jews detested this tax, but its legal ity was supported by the Herodians. Their question was so framed that it seemed impossible for Him to es cape. 15. "Knowing their hypoc risy." Jesus, who knows the hearts of all men, saw that they were mere flattering spies, and their question only a crafty device of hypocrites. "Why tempt?" Why do you seek to ensnare Me by a question that is asked, not for information, but to get Me into trouble? "Bring Me a penny." Literally, a denarius. 16. "They brought it." By re quiring them to bring Him the coin He compels them to answer, tacitly, their own question: for the Jewish rabbis taught that, "wheresoever the money of any king is current, there the inhabitants acknowledge that king for their lord." "Whose-im age." The image was probably the likeness of the Roman emperor, Ti berius Caesar. "Superscription." The name and motto on the coin. "They said - Caesar's." Thus ac knowledging that they were submit ting to Caesar's authority. 17. "Render." The word render implies tMe notion of moral duty to ward Caesar quite as much as to ward God. "To Caesar." Rather, here, give back to Caesar. They ask, Is it lawful to give? He replies, give back. Since they accepted in the coinage of Caesar the benefits of his government, they were bound to give back a recompense in tribute. So long as the citizen accepts the benefit of a government, he owes it alleg iance and obedience. III. A question concerning our relations in the future state (vs. 18 27). 18. "Sadducees." They were the materialists of their time. "No resurrection." They also denied the' immortality of the soul and the ex istence of angels (see Acts 23:8). "They asked H-im." Their question was full of scorn and ridicule. They intended to show from Moses' teach ing that the doctrine of the resurrec tion was absurd. 19. "Moses wrote." In Deut. 25:5, 6. "Should take his wife," etc. The children were to be reckoned with in the gen ealogy of the deceased brother. 20. "Seven brethren." This was no doubt an imaginary case. The Sadducees assume that the resurrec tion includes the revival of the rela tions now existing. 23. "In the res urrection." Which of the seven hus bands should have the risen wife. 24. "Do ye not--err." To err means to wander. They do not mere ly make a mistake, but they wander in ignorance of the Scriptures. "Ye know not." You err because you do not know (1)~ the Scriptures, which affirm this doctrine; nor (2) the power of God, which is able to effect the resurrection, and after the resur rection to create a new order of things in the new world. "Power of God." The Bible rests the doctrine of the resurrection on the exercise of divine power (Acts 26:8; Rom. 1:4; 1 Cor. 6:14). 25. "When they shall rise." That is, after they have risen from the dead-in the future state. "Nor are given." This has reference to the Jewish custom' by which the female members of the family were given in marriage by the father. "Are as angels." This an swer strikes at another error of the Sadducees-a denial of the existence of angels. 26. "Book of Moses." The Sadu cees had appealed to Moses as au thority and now Jesus turns to the same source to prove His point. "In the bush." See Exod. 3:5, 15. "I am," etc. Notice that the present tense is used. He cannot be the God of non-entities, non-existences. If He is their God they are His people, and, of course, must be in existence, and not out of exiiitence. So the whole Sadducean' doctrine broke down. 27. "Not the God of the dead." Our Lord here uses the word dead in the sense of these Saddu cees with whom He is conversing, to signify extinct. A Cigar.That Saved a Life. M. Guizot, the great French his torian, once owed his life to his cigar. Walking in one of the Paris gardens, he noticed that he was being followed by a shabbily dre'ssed man. M. Guizo; calmly sat down on a bench, upon which his unwelcome follower seated himself, watching him all the time with an uncomfortably threatening air. The historian, however, was not troubled, but took a cigar from his pocket and quietly lighted it. As he did this the stranger rose and. mut tering that he had been mistaken, added, "That scoundrel I seek does not smoke." Some days later the man was arrested for a murderous assault upon a public official against whom he had a grudge and for whom he had mistaken . Guizot, whose cigar was thus a veritable life preserver. Russia in Europe has an erea e: 2.000,000 squa:'e miles. This iu twenty-th'ee times -the size of Gitat Britain.

Nevertheles., fe w people realize how useful, if not absolutely neces sary, to :nodern civilizatZon, is that other metal, lead. Soft, yielding, pliable. it is not much like its sister metal, but those distinguishing quali ties are what give it such a promiuent place in the arts and industries. Modern plumbing, requirin. :nav turnings and twisting:. nut wiihal tight joints, would be almost impos sible without lead pipe. The gr-at est civilizing agent in the worid--the printing art-is absolutely dependent on lead. .Hand-bet type, linotype "slug," nonotype type - all are made of compositions or which lead is the chief component-to say noth ing of the bearings in the presses as well as all other kinds of machinery in which "babbitt" metal is used. Solder is another lead product what a field of usefulness that one form opens uip. Then there is the rmost Important use of all to which lead is put-pair.t, that necessary ruaterial which keieps our houses looking pretty - inside and out--and preserves them from decay. How many of us thank metall.. lead for the -comforts of 1:aint? Yet the best house paint is nothing but me talic lead corrodcd by acid to a white powder known as "white lead." Of course, there ai e many imitations of "white leaC." sonie of which are sold as white lead and some which are offered by the naie of ready-pre pared Vaint under the familiar pre tense that they arp "just as good" as white ler -i. But all good paint is made of the metal, ead, corroded and ground to a fine white powder and mixed with linseed oil. White lead is also used in the coat ing of fine oil cloths and for many purposes besides paint "Red lead" is another rroduct of inetalic lead and is what is known as an oxide of lead, being produced by burning the metal. Red lead is the best paint kn,>wn to preserve iron, steel or tin, and is used largbly in painting netal structures, such as skyscraper skeietvns. mills and bridges. There are many othe- products of the metal lead, :.uch as litharge. orange mineral, etc., which are es sential : many of the arts in which we never imagirne that lead wou'.d bo of the least use. Verily, we live in an. age of lead as well as Af iron. HANDICAPPED. "Lived with five familles last week?" ejaculated Mrs. Housekeep. That Isn't a very good record."

AWFUL PSORIASIS 35 YEARS. ~ e Trrible sealy Humor in Patches AZ Over Body-skin Cracked and Bleeding..Cured by Cuticura. "I was afflicted with psoriasis for thirty five years. It was in patches all over my body. I used three cakes .of Cuticut-a Soap, six boxes of Ointment and two bot tIes of Resolvent. In thirty days I was completely eured, and 1 think permanent ly, as it was about five years ago. The psoriasis first made its appearance in red spots, generally forming a circle, leaving in the centre a spot about the size of a silver dollar of sound flesh. In a short time the affected circle would form a heavy dry scale of white silvery appear-I ance, and would gradually drop off. To remove the entire scales by bathing or using oil to soften them the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a light discharge of bloody substance would ooze out. That , scaly crust woukd form again in twenty four hours. It was worse on my arms and limbs, although it was in spots all over my body, also on my scalp. If I let the scales remain too long without removing 3 by bath or otherwise, the skin would . crack and bleed.
