resit nee of Motherhood is atty.
ing oneto most women and marks dis-
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in a hundred is prepared or un-
derstands how to properly care for her -
"self. Of course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with en organism unfitted
for the trialof strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
front which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner=
Vous strain of caring for the child, and
a distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed child -birth under the right
conditions need b,e no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an un-
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
" Every woman at this time should rely
upon Lydia E.Pinkham'sVegetable Com-

Lesson Ill.—First Quarter, For
Jan. 19, 1913.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Gen. iii—Memory
Verses, 17.19 --Golden Text, John viii,
34 ---Commentary Prepared by Rev.
D. M. Stearns.
In chapters 1 and 11 we have seen
the only absolutely perfect man and
woman that ever walked this earth,
in a perfect paradise without sin, God
Himself their companion .and , friend
and they having dominion over all
things, There is no such glorious re-
ality mentioned as existing on earth
again till we come to the record of
the new earth in Rev. xxi, but a
great and unceasing conflict between
God and His and our great adversary,
tbe devil, to whom we are introduced
in today's lesson. It is interesting to
note that we have the beginning of
his record in Gen. 111 and the end
thereof in Rev. xx,the third chap-
ter
ter
from the end of the Bible. 1n
this
!Syn. we have the first mention
oI theeil, of uul elief, of sin, of suf-
fering, and also of a deliverer, a re-
demption and a great restoration. An
understanding of this chapter helps
greatly to understand the whole Bible.
This great adversary is described
in Rev. xii, 0; xx, 2, as the great
dragon, that old serpent, called the
devil and Satan, who deceiveth the
whole world. Ile is also called the
god of this world, the prince of the
n air, the s
ower of the frit that now
n
svorketh in the childrenof disobedi-
ence
iso a i-ence (II Cor. Iv, 4; Epb. 11, 2). The
whole world is said to be under : his
control (I - John v, ]9). - The Lord
Jesns said of him, "The prince of thin
world cometh and hath nothing in
me" (John xlv, 30i. In this his first
appearance after ;,dam was given the.:
h over
dominionh
m the east he used the
serpent, wh' b was then evidently
the
wisest
and probably most beautiful. of
all creatures beneath man, afterward,.
condemned because of this ;partner -
,ship to go prone on the eertn (verse 14).
Notice in vetoes 1-5 that in .the
devil's first recorded utterance, "Yea,
hath God said?" ee questions the word
of God, and in the words following he
questions the love of G•od. In verse 4
be makes 'God a liar (compare 2-17)
and in verse 5 sets before Eve an am-
bition toy' be as God. Those who is
an
way ay talk or act thus show at once
in whose employ they are. To all
such,however they may pose as serve"
ants of Christ, unless they truly re-
pent, our Lord tells us that He will
sayto them, "I never knew you; de-
part from Me" (Matt, vii, 22, 23).
. Verse 0 reminds us of I John, 2-10, the
lust of tbe ftesb, the lust of the eyes,
the pride. of life, all of which are of
the world and not of God. With all
that they needed, all fullness from the
hand of God, Adam and Eve fell. But
with hunger and loneliness, under the
same temptations, the last Adam re-
sisted the devil and overcame him.
By the same sword of the Spirit we
may overcome (11'ph. vi, 10, 17). See
some of the results of sin—fear, try-
ing to bide from Goll, the man blam-
ing God for the gift of the woman.
fig leaf aprons a substitute for gar-
ments of light and glory. Inasmuch
asthe minding of the flesh is death
(Rom, vill, 0, margin), they died
that day, as God bad said they would.
This is the first "afraid" in the Bible
and the first attempt to hide from
God. Contrast all the "fear nots" and
the life bid with Christ in God. Note
the Srst question of God, ''Where art
thou? (verse 9) and see the Good
Shepherd seeking His lost sheep.
Wben all is confessed then God be-
gins to speak and act on their behalf
and to reveal His eternal purpose.
There is a curse upon the serpent and
upou the ground and sorrow predicted
for the woman and the man (14-19).
The Old Testament as we have it ends
with the word "curse," but in the last
chapter of the New Testament we
read, "There shall be uo more curse"
(Rev. exit,. 3), and the reason why
Is given iu Gal, iii, 13 — Christ
made a curse for us. The thorns
of verse 18 take ns also to Gol-
gotha, or, rather, to Jesus before Pi-
late, and then to Rom. viii, 20-23,
where we see' Him who wore the
crown of thorns redeeming the earth.
Lesson verse 15 shows the great. De-
liverer as the seed of the woman, born
of a virgin, suffering at the hands of
the adversary, but finally conquering
him, Here is also the salvation of
Ere, for enmity between the sinner
and the devil is an evidence of salva-
tion. It is the work of God, "I will put."
The method of salvation Is fully set
forth in verse 21. where we see the
Lord God shedding blood, probably of
iambs, and by skins thus obtained pro-
viding redemption clothing for Aclam
and Eve instead of the leaf aprons of
their own making. The guilty pair
can do nothing but drop their own ef-
forts and accept Gocl's provision, in
which was simply and clearly set forth
the shedding of the blood of the Iamb
of Gad on Golgotha in due time.
'When we receive His righteousness
instead of our own theu we may sing;
"Be bath clothed me with the gar-
ments of salvation, He hath covered
me with the robe of righteousness"
(Isa. ixi, 101. The resurrection and
future glory of the redeemed may be
seen in verse 24 and are fully set forth

Dog Flesh as Diet.
BERLIN, Jan. 13.—The use of the
flesh of dogs as a food for many is
becoming conation even in the capital;
From necessity the German work-
ingsnan has long made horse meat a
substantial portion of his daily fare,
n
but,while Saxony consumes thou -
sans of dogs annually, the practice
of eating this meat, has not until re-
cently invaded Prussia.
Now the overseers of the Berlin
cattle yards have given their approval
of a proposal to erect a municipal
slaughter -house for dogs at the yards,
and it is expected that the police
president will ,soon issue the requir-
ed permit.

Rechad Pasha Blames Ru tu4'e
p
of Conference on Allies.
BALKAN ENVOYS ARE TIRED
Outlook For a Successful Treaty Is
Worse Than It Has Been For Some
Time and indications Point to a
Resumption of Hostilities In
Thrace—Turks Refuse to Give
Up the City of Adrianrple.
LONDON, Jan. 13.—The British Sec-•
retary of State for Foreign Affairs,
Sir Edward Grey, and the ambassa-
dors of the powers, have made repre-
sentations to Rechad Pasha regarding
the projected departure of the Turk-
ish delegates, which is equivalent to
a definite rupture of the peace nego-
tiations, for which Turkey is consid-
ered responsible.
In reply, Rechad Pasha said that
he was not responsible for the sus-
pension of the work of -the conference,
which was decreed by the allies, not
only without asking, his opinion, but
without even allowing him to express
it when he begged to do so. He had
waited a whole week, hoping that re-
flection would bring the allies to a
more reasonable and moderate view,
but as no move had been made on
their part in this direction and no de-
sire had been manifested to hear what
further rectification of the frontier
Turkey was prepared to indicate--
naturally without ceding Adrianople
—the Turkish plenipotentiaries could
not remain in London indefinitely.
In deference to England, which had
treated them so hospitably and out of
regard for the other powers, whose
ambassadors regretted the rupture of
the negotiations, Rechad Pasha con-
sented to telegraph to Constantinople
asking for definite instructions,
The allies also are tired of waiting.
They do not believe that the note
which the powers will present at Con-
stantinople to -day will have the de-
sired effect,
The Roumanian demands continue
to be the uppermost topic of interest.
M. Jonescu, the Roumanian Minister
of the Interior, whose wife is Eng-
lish, has learned that public opinion
is against Roumania and that Rou-
mania's action is regarded in the na-
ture of blackmail, which, if persisted
in, might mean war with Bulgaria in
the near future.
The note of the powers to be pre-
sented is firm in tone, and while re.
commending Turkey to leave the ques-
tion of the Aegean Islands in the
hands of the powers, makes it clear
that Turkey has no alternative except
to eede Adrianople.
All 1 f
the ambassadors id r� h informal
_otmal
meetings with Rechad Pasha and Os-
man Nazami Pasha, the Turkish dele-
gates, trying, as one of tho ambassa-
dors put it, "to square the circle,"
and to discover a middle course be-
tween Turkey, which insists upon
keeping Adrianople, and Bulgaria,
which persists that she must have
thatthat town.
The Turkish delegates were immov-
able, and said: "Nothing can induce
us to commit suicide. It is impossible
to change our minds ooncerning the
possession of Adrianople, for which we
have made sacrifices which no other
country has made. The sentimental
and religious value attached by Mus-
