No Calomel Is Necessary. For you to feel healthy and happy, your liver must pour two pounds of liquid pile into your bowels, every day of your life. Without that bile, trouble starts promptly. Your food just won’t digest the way it should and your bowels are sluggish. Food decays inside you and your entire system is undermined by this poisonous waste matter. You have indiges­ tion—the discomfort of gas, bloating, heartburn and sournees. You are prey to headaches. Have a tongue like cotton-wool, a nasty taste in your mouth, bacl breath and ugly skin. You haven’t anything like the pep a healthy person should have. In fact you are generally wretched. How can you expect to clear up a condition like this completely by taking mere bowel-movers like salts, mineral water, oil. laxative candy or chewing gum, or roughage? They can't wake up your liver bikW Avoid calomel (mercury). Buy yourself a box of'old reliable Carter’s Little Liver Pills. All vegetable, sure, gentle, safe, They’ll wake up your liver without upsetting you. Bring back the glad-to-be-alive feeling, onco more. Don’t wasto your money on substitutes. Be definite. Ask for Carter’s by name and get them. Look for the name, Carter's, on the red label. 25o at all druggists. 47 x Sunday School Lesson JESUS ACCLAIMED AS ICING Sunday, May 6—Matt. 21:1-46 Golden Text Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name. (Phil. 2:9.) What is the corner-stone of true civilization? 'Of true education? Of true religion? There is one and the same cornerstone-for all these and for all that is worth while in this life and the next. We shall find our question answered toward the end of this long lesson chapter. Some 5'0'0) years before Christ’s time an Old Testament prophet. Ze- rhariah, made a prediction. He told Jerusalem to “rejoice greatly” be­ cause “thy King cometh unto thee; He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on an ass, and up­ on a colt the foal of an ass” (Zach. (:99.) As the Lord now approached Jer­ usalem He sent two of His disciples ahead, telling them^to go into a vil­ lage just beyond, and saying they would find there “an ass tied, and a colt with her,” which they were to loose and bring to Him. If any one there should question this they were to say, “The Lord hath need of them.” and no further questions would be asked. It may have been some arrange­ ment the Lord had made with an unknown disciple or believer; >we are not told as to this. But the dis­ ciples found it as He had aid, and Matthew tells us this was the fulfil­ ment of Zechariah’s prophecy. “This was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet” is a statement repeated over and over again in the Gospels. God, in His Word, could write history in advance as infallibly as He wrote the history of past events. Let us remember this as we study the pro­ phetic Scriptures concerning things yet to come. We read: “And the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them” What a triumphant time the church of Christ would have and every in­ dividual Christian, if this could al­ ways be said of them. Unquestioning complete obedience to every direc­ tion of God, to the whole will of Christ as Lord, means the normal, fruitful, successful life. i The Lord entered Jerusalem rid­ ing on this unbroken colt—Mark adds the detail that it was a colt “whereon never man sat” (Mark 11:2). Then we read that “a very great multitude spread their gar­ ments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strew­ ed them in the way,” while the mul­ titudes than ran before and followed were crying aloud: “Hosanna to the Son of David; Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.” Yet, in the midst of all thos excitement and tumult and shouting, the Lord rode quietly on the unbroken colt. It is a significant detail not always no- tced and hearts mute but eloquent testimony to Christ’s supernatural control over the world of nature as well as all other forces. The tempes­ tuous wind and stormy waves of the seas were instantly quiet when He epoke to them. “The last Adam” ex­ ercised that complete dominion over the natural and animal world that “the first man Adam” had forfeited by sin. (Gen. 1:23.) This is commonly called Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem, Yet thoughtful Bible students have pointed out that it was not really that. He came, not in triumph or royal splendor, but just the opposite in voluntary humiliation, lowly, meek. He was acclaimed, it is true as “son of David”; but a few days later He was mocked, scorned, and crucified, The truly triumphantal en­ try of the Lord Jesus Christ, when as David’s greater Son He will take the throne and reign over this world is yet to come. That coming will be not in humiliation, but in power and glory; it is described in such passages as Revelation 19:11-16, when He will be recognized as the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords” “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow . . and that every tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil. 2:10-11). Yet, even then, nineteen centuries ago, the (Lord asserted His royal au­ thority .and none dared try to stop Him. He cast the money-changers out of the temple, declaring, in righteous indignation as He quoted Isaiah: “My house shall be called the house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of thieves.” The immediately following verse is beautiful in its compassion and love; “And the blind and"the lame came to Him in the temple; and He healed them.” There is sharp and striking con­ trast between Christ’s severity and judgment- in cleansing the temple and His compassion and love in heal­ ing the sick. Law and grace ■ are both set forth here. The rest of the chapter tells of other mighty works and teachings of the Lord which but deepened and increased the enmity of the Phari­ sees and other false religions leaders of the Jews. He uttered unsparing judgment upon them, then asked: “Did ye never read in the Scripture, The stone which the builders reject­ ed the same is become the head of the corner; this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?” Jesus 'Christ is the corner-stone of all true civilization, all true educa­ tion, all true religion—-of everything worth while in this, life and in that which is to come. He alone of all men—for He was God as well as man—could say of Himself: “I am the truth.” The Psalmist predicted of Him. “The stone which the builders refused is become the head­ stone of the corner. (Psa. 1:18-22.) After Christ’s .crucifixion and res­ urrection, Peter boldly declared to the Jewish .Sanhedrin concerning Christ: “This is the tone which was stt at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.” (Acts 4:11.) And Peter wrote by inspiration, many years later: “Wherefore also it is contained in the Scripture, Be­ hold, I lay in Zion a chief corner­ stone, elect, precious; and he that believeth on him shall not be con­ founded.” (I Pet. 2:6.) BRIDE TO BE SHOWERED On Tuesday evening of last week about 7 0 friends and neighbours gathered at the home of Mr. and (Mrs. James Roy, Logan, in honoi' of their daughter, Miss Helen I. Roy, Logan in honor of their daugh­ ter, Miss Helen J. Roy. bride-elect, and presented her with a number of beautiful gifts. Little Donald and Evan, children of Mr. and Mrs. Harvey MacLagan, made a winsome little pair dressed as bride and bridegroom while little Joanne Ken­ ny, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Leo "Kenny, becomingly dressed for the occassion acted as flower girl. The children entered the room drawing a large 'basket decorated in white on a wagon laden with numerous gifts, both useful and ornamental. Miss Roy very suitably thanked her many friends for their kind remembrances The remainder of the evening was spent playing games of various kinds after which refreshments were served. A new invention consists of a tiny flashlight fastened to a Punch of keys, enabling one to find the key­ hole on dark nights, She Was a Nervous Wreck Had Bad Dizzy Spells Mrs. Adelard Brabant, Blizzard Valley, Ont., writes:—"I was a nervous wreck, also had dizzy spells and shortness of breath. I was so nervous I could not stay alone, and would lie awake most of the night. I was not a bit better after consulting a doctor and taking his medicine. One day a friend told me to use Milburn’s II. & N. Pills which I did, and in a very short time they made a great difference in my health. I cannot speak too highly of them.” For salo at all drug and general stores; put up only by Tho T.

Mr. Wm. Dearing of Stephen has been very sick from typhoid fever for the past two weeks, but is a lit­ tle better. Mr, Ghas. Manning recently hung a set of new blinds in the window of his barber shop which adds to the appearance of the front. Mr. George Manson has opened a Boot and Shoe Shop in the corner building opposite the Post Office where he will make to order all or­ ders that he may be favoured with. (Miss Annie Davis, of Exeter North left on Friday for .Sarnia, where she will reside for some time. Mr. W. H. Verity has just put a large furnace in the basement of his residence which will heat the whole house. %. Mr. B, Swenerton left last week to engage in the duty of general agent for the Sun Life Assurance Co. Knight-Acheson in Exeter on the 23rd inst. by the Rev. E, J. Robin­ son, incumbent of Christ Church, Mr. Geo. Knight, to Miss Elizabeth Acheson. Both of Exeter, THEY SPEAK TOR THEMSELVES POUR on milk or cream. Then listen to Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, Their “Snap! Crackle! Pop!” tells a story of delicious crispness. You’ll love their flavor. Great for breakfast or lunch. Ideal for the chil­ dren’s supper. Light and easy to digest. Ready-to-eat. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario. The wisfe farmer will give his land an extra bit of working this spring. The cold weather has destroyed a considerable por­ tion of the bacterial life so essential to successful crop production. ******** Paddy IMcGraw says that one of the beauty spots on his farrum is the row of haystacks that he built when hay was abundant but low in price. His cattle agree with him—and so does the banker. ******** 'Let's get the open-eyed tourist’s nimble dollar. Let’s adver­ tise the good things we have to offer. "Why not put special bar­ gains under the nosesi of those folk who wish to get all they can for their money.? ******** 'So Uncle Sam has turned loos;e 5,0'00 officers,” armed to the teeth” to catch one poor, lone miscreant! Why not give over the job to one London Bobby or to a Canadian IMountie? -Our Amer­ ican cousins are rale funny, as Aunt Sally would say. • ** , * * * *** The farmers spring! are SPECIAL! unanimous that 1934 has been a back war a *$ $ * $ *** MISSED Um-m-m and wouldn’t some of that straw the farmer burned some seasons back have come in mighty handy this spring? ******** GOOD NEWS! And now word comes from Glasgow! “There is good reason for everyone here to be in good spirits/, for we have more work in hand than we had since 1930. A night- sihift is at work and everyone^ is getting full-time employment. Moreover, more work: is in prosper, and we anticipate that the summer will still see all our people fully employed.” “During the year 1929, which was a year of great activity here, we engaged more than the usual number of apprentices. In consequence, this issue contains the portraits, before and after ap­ prenticeship, of more than the usual number of time-expired ap­ prentices. It is a source of great satisfaction that we are in a posi­ tion to retain the services of all of them as journeymen.” So much for men who have faith in God and their own efforts. The ancient virtues) are quite modern, all loose thinking and talking notwithstanding. ******** FUNNY Word comes' that the higher ups are going to prohibit the manufacture and sale of those anti-fat affairs of one sort or another when these things take the form of drugs. What a pity! Why not allow the public to go the limit in that line? The folk with no more brains to follow up certain lines of buying need a little of the lessons taught by Dame Experience. Some people, it is well known, are sure that there is Something specially sweet in a carefully locked cupboard. There are still others who are dead sure that whatever all restrictions on conduct must be wrong and for that reason suclr action should be flouted. In view of all this' why should not people be free to buy what they like no matter how foolish their purchases may be. Why should those in the seats of the mighty rush in where doctors and under­ takers and hospitals for the insane fear to tread? The want of sense on the part of the buying public, is a great want. ******** JUST FINE We have just heard a business expesision that suits us im­ mensely. The speaker was dealing with the gratifying measure of prosperity that Britain has “achieved.” We liked the word “achieved” very much. British prosperity, this word indicated was not an advantage dropped from the sky. It came not on the wings of some lucky bird but grew out of the integrity of the British people, an integrity evidenced by hard thinking, very careful planning, de­ finite sacrifice and unwavering industry. However, we were not so greatly struck! by thisl word “achieve” as we were by the word used to describe the British prosperity. The word was “diffused” pros­ perity. That is a word worth cudding on. The word means that the British prosperity is shared by the great majority of the people It means, too, that the great majority of the people worked for the good times they now enjoy. ******** A Better Way ? When the depresslion settled down on the British Isles and millions of Britishers were out of work, the folk who understood did some of the wisest thinking ever done by the sons of Adam. Those sturdy sons of John Bull saw that they could not depend in the peculiarly mystifying and puzzling situation, upon the average man or upon the millionsi who for some reason are not up to the standard of the average man in gray matter or in character. No, they put their Confidence in the men who had the ability to comprehend the value of an opportunity and who had the mental and moral quality to seize what the opportunity offered. With a measure of wisdom the extent and fineness of which few realize the value, these leaders by right divine of ability and enterprise, took care of the inferior man and of his family, so that in Britain those who lacked shelter or food or housing or care were well looked after. Meanwhile the strong or the fit in various: ways either were given jobs or secured jobs for themselves'. That is, Britain, in view of the situation that confronted her, proceeded on the principle “from every man according to his) ability, to every man according to his need?’ In this way she won out without degrading her people and without dodging the problem that confronted her. Her Discovery1 In other words Britain saw that all men are not equal when it comes to facing a difficulty. iShe saw that some would-be worker® and would-be guides are nothing short of nuisances. These men run at the simell of powder and shrivel in the presence of hardship and hunger and severe toil. Such folk are not to be depended up­ on. They are in constant need of guidance and of protection, a protection that takes into account their innate helplessness. In a crisis only the brave and the wise and the steadfast amount to any­ thing. Britain’s true sons did not fail her when her back was against the economic wall. 25 YEARS AGO May «, 1909 Mr. Norman Lloyd intends, mov­ ing to Fort William shortly where he has secured a position.

J. K. Curtis, minister of Ail- sa Craig United Church, told the of­ ficial board that his decision to ask for a change of circuit was final. The board met to consider the re­ quest of the pastor previously ex­ pressed to the congregation that he be released so- that he could accept a change of charge at the coming conference. In accepting the decision of the minister, every member of the of­ ficial board, in speaking, expressed regret regarding the pastor’s decis­ ion to leave and appreciation of the work he had done. By unanimous vote they expressed this sentiment to the minister. IMr. Curtis thanked the board for their tributes and for their co­ operation in all -church relations. He said he had received co-operation which he had never seen surpassed. THE SAFE TIRE BARGAIN! You didn’t realize, per­ haps, that you could get genuine Goodyear Tires for so little?
