Wake up your Liver Bile
—No Calomel needed
When you fee! blue, depressed, sour on the
world, that’s your liver which' isn't pouring its
daily two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels.
Digestion and elimination are being slowed
up, food- iB accumulating and decaying inside
you and making you feel wretched.
Mero bowel-movers like salts, oil, mineral
water, laxative candy or chewing gum, or
roughage, don’t go far enough.
You need a liver stimulant. Carter’s Little

A Prophet and His Song, 8-10
their curiousity was
Isaiah was a young aristocrat
speaking in Jerusalem. His message
was one that the nobles did not care
to hear. How could he gain their
attention? He adopted a clever de
vice to intrigue his audience. He
played a few notes on a musical in
strument and gathered hearers about
him. When
awakened, he began to recite a, poem
It purported to be a song about a
friends vineyard. Suddenly Isaiah
became very bold and launched a
series of startling “Woes” upon his
hearers. He first accused the nobles
of land .grabbing which in the end
defeated itself. A pioneer settler in,
a Canadian province added farm to
farm till he owned nearly a whole
township and then began buying
house arter house till he owned near
ly all the houses in the county town
Today he can neither rent the farms
or collect rent from his houses. He
has demonstrated the menace of
monoply and illustrated the old say
ing, “The earth is the Lord’s and not
the landlord’s.”
Preoccupied Minds, 11, 12
Isaiah next pronounced his woe
upon the intemperate. WhUe many
were unable to get food, the social
leaders were drinking expensive
wines. So strong was the hold of
alcohol upon some of them that they
drank in the morning, a custom that
was despised by the Hebrews. Drink
ing far on into the night they rose
early to get liquor to undo the ef
fects of their intoxication the night
before. Early and late they were at
their cups. They tried to gloss over
their debauchery ;by having .music at
their drinking bouts. The music gave
an atmosphere of refinement tc
scenes that were far from uplifting
Along with the actual degradation
was the fact that they gave too much
thought to liquor and lost their in
terest in higher things. They had
physical exhilaration instead of spir
itual exaltation. Alcoholism is a cer
tain foe to the cultivation of relig
ious experience.
Challenging the Mipral Order, 18, 19
These woes show a progressive de
terioration in character. Those who
begin with iniquities which may be
drawn with a string are soon drag
ging sins with a cart rope. They be
come so indifferent to right and
wrong that they challenge the Al
mighty to vindicate the moral order
This is somewhat in the fashion of
the modern Superman who claims to ■
have advanced “.beyond good and
evil.” It is bad enough to be sel
fish and indulgent, but it is much
worse when (these sins cease to be
thought sinful. One great security
against evil lies in being snockea a?
it when we are ready to give a phil
osophical defence for our wrong do
ing we destroy this moral safeguard
How modern it all reads? It is tne
fashion of many moderns to laugh at
the ten commandments as old fash
ioned and to taunt those who still
believe in conscience as unemanipat-
ed. I't is this kind of thinking that
have given us what is called the
“dirty decade.”

Isaiah believed in a moral order,
and boldy announced ithat the God of

that the prophet spoke the truth.
Men reap what they sow, and na

WELL DONE!
About five years ago the writer had a friend visiting him whose
home was in Detroit. The friend found it necessary to purchase a
pair of socks and the writer took pains to take his guest to a real
merchant. The serving was done so satisfactorily that the guest
purchaser an entire suit for golfing with an extra or two. This
purchase so pleased him that he 'bought from the same merchant a
complete outfit of undies. Nor is that all. Every summer since,
that merchant sells that guests about $5 0.00 worth of clothing.
This good stroke of business grew out of being able to treat prop
erly an apparent transient who appeared tp require but a pair of
socks. Those visitors are worthy of the right sort of attention.

APPARENT FAILURE
.The Economic Conference that is about to conclude its meeting
in London met, it would appear, about six months too late. Ever
since the advent of the depression in 1929, honest ana earnest men
have 'been working to mend the world’s finances. About ten months
ago the efforts of these men began to bear fruit. The result was
that many of those who met in London imagined that the' hardness
of conditions was a thing of the past. The first step- based on this
imagination was for one or two o.f the prominent nations to allow
their inherent and self-developed selfishness to assert itself and to
refuse to do anything unless they were allowed to have their own
way. Men who came to negotiate assumed the part of dictatorship.
Principles that one nation in particular had declared they had adopt
ed just before the conference convened, and which were known to
be essential to the success of the conference, were repudiated as
the conference was getting under way. Of course no progress
could be made under circumstances thus rendered impossible. Noth
ing can be done with a nation that blows both hot and cold, that
"says one thing today and insists upon another thing tomorrow. If
the Conference has failed the failure lies at the door of those who
had not the vision to see the value of one of the greatest economic
opportunities in the history of the race.

A NEW DICTATORSHIP
■v The old idea of a dictator or tyrant or boss was a strong man
who had a policy of his own which he had acquired sufficient power
to enforce. Such a dictatorship was characterized by the arrogance
of the individual who had a lust for power, usually the power of the
srword.
The neiw dictatorship is of another sort..This is the dictatorship
of a group that puts forward a puppet who bows and wiggles as a
group behind the curtain pull strings or touch springs or manipu
late switches of one sort or another. Such a puppet dictator has
all the appearances of a man. To .him certain powers are conceded
in a constitutional way apparently in the interests of the general
good. in. reality this ostensible dictator is*a mere creature who
twists his nose and who mouths great utterances as he is tutored
and schooled by the unseen but tremendously selfish goup by whose
good will he lives and moves and holds his job. And this is the
most dangerous dictator of them all. History will show that the
United States has produced this new dictator. The situation is all
the more dangerous because the alleged dictator has been looked
upon as a superman whereas he is but carrying out the altogether
selfish policy of a group.
