H +i yTF From New York Him About Sargon THOMAS STACK "When a friend of mine from New York visited me recently ,and told me about this new Sargon medicine, I had no idea it was going to mean the end of- aufferiig that had made my life miserable for years. "Stomach and intestinal disorders go bard with a man of eny age and I Bare har.' a time of it. Chronic con- stipation poisoned my whole system ,rand a kind of rheumatic condition de- veloped in my back with pains and .niches practically all over my body. I got to where I couldn't sleep and seearne subject to weak, dizzy spells mid finally had to give up driving my .car altog••ther. I couldn't even drink >a glass Cf milk without having heart- burn an' indigestion, and some times the gas en my stomach was so awful that the pressure would seem to al- most ch ye off my heart action. "I'm serrated so that I can live com- fortably the rest of my days, but there was littlt consolation in that thought -when I •afered such misery. None of the n edicines I tried did me any good ani' I had given up in despair— east decided I might as well `tarry along' :r, the end as best I could— when roe friend from New York told me about- Sargon. He said that the medicine was making a big hit in New Yo: l: and seemed to be doing eeerybeey good that tried it; so I went down to Tamblyn's Drug Store j} cyy;t 'rfi7>t 4,, S� f It ��iir7. '{ to t ,r '47 THE`=RON EXPOSITOR walking by the sea -side; today He goes up into a mountain and present- ly we shall have to accompany Him to His journeys through cities stud towns and ' villages. Thus in the doing and work of our Saviour He will give us the germ of the missionary idea, for what other•places are there upon the whole globe besides the river, the sea, the mountain, the city, the town the village, the house? He, at this time, separated Himself from the multitude for a purpose. When we listened to Jesus Christ be- fore He was preaching. After John the Baptist was silenced Jesus took up his cry; "Repent," said He. Now He changes the tone; He sits, down and teaches His disciples, explains, simplifies divine truth and draws the listeners into sympathy with Him- self. In His preaching it was repentance. And now it is ,blessedness. From the beautitudes we learn what Christ's idea of a blessed life was. Who are the persons He mentions? Not the noble, not the mighty, not the learn- ed, not the brilliant, not the rich are spoken of. It is the poor in spirit, they that mourn, the meek, they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers. In Christ's conception of a blesses' life we find that goodness and reward always go together, • Great is the mystery thereof. Verses 19-20. At the very beginning of His min- istry we find Jesus Christ having to recognize the possibility of mistaken notions concerning Himself. He was not understood by His fellow -men, His disciples, or the friends of His own family. So we find Him calling the attention of His disciples td Himself. He said, "Think not." That was a legal phrase which literally meant— "Do not get into the habit of think- ing." •He was warning His disciples, and through them all Christian ages, against a mental habit, so He said to them, "Do not become accustomed to think that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets; I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil." Just as the summer fulfils the spring; just as manhood fulfils childhood; so Christ fulfils the law. Christ 'keeps a school, Christ calls those who go to His school His disciples; He says, "Learn of Me." Christ is the teach- er of the world and there is no change in the divine education of the world— first the law then the fulfiller. All that went before Him pointed to Him. Prophets, priests and kings said, "Not I, but there cometh one after Me." Jesus proceeded to tell His disciples that they must not break the very least of the commandments nor teach men to do so. He pointed out the close relationship there was in this between heaven and earth. The Scribes and Pharisees taught the law but they were not strict observers of it themselves so Christ warned His disciples that all who would enter Heaven must do before they teach men so. Blessed is that servant who is faithful for his reward is sure. Jesus came to fulfil the moral law, the meaning of which was obedience —"Not my will' but thine be done." There was a sacrificial law, the shed- ding of blood and the offering of gifts. Christ gave Himself a sacri- fice for sin and thus He fulfilled the iew of sacrifice.There was a na- tional law, a federating of tribes and. sections of people. Christ founded His church and when the kingdoms of this world become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ then will come the complete fulfilment of the law. and bought a treatment, along with the Sargon Pills. "I had only used about half a bot- tle of Sargon and the same quantity of the Pills, when I noticed a big change for the better. I quit having indigestion and gas on my stomach• the rheumatic pains began to loosen their grip, and a feeling of new strength and vigor came over my entire system! I got out my car the other day and can now drove around as much as I please without being afraid of those dizzy spells. I'm eat- ing heartily, sleeping well and enjoy- ing life in every way. "The Sargon Pills are the finest thing in the way of a laxative that 1 ever used. Instead of purging, they seem to work on the liver with a stim- ulating action that has a lasting ef- fect and keeps the bowels regulated perfectly, "Everyone I've recommened Sargon to tells me that it's doing them a world of good and 1 honestly believe it will help anyone suffering with troubles like mine, if they'll take the treatment faithfully." The above statement was made by Thomas Stack, well known retired business man of 36 Beulah Avenue, Hamilton, Ont. Sargon may be obtained in Seaforth from C. Aberhart. - A.

Now she is brighter in spirits and eats and sleeps well. What caused the difference ? Let her answer in her own words:— " I think Kruschen Salts are tt splendid tonic. After my husband's death in December last I became very run down in health. Mad terrible fits of depres- sion and was unable to eat or sleep much. I 'was also troubled with rheumatism. I decided to take Krus- chen Salts and have now taken the little daily dose for nearly two months, during which time my health has greatly improved. The rheumatism has completely left me. I am much brighter in spirits and both eat and sleep well." When life begins to " get you down," when you been to feel the results of modern artificial conditions --errors of diet,. worry, overwork, ]!rcic of exercise-• then you should turn to Kruschen Salts. They possess a wonderful power of giving new life and vitality to the countless Millions of cells of which the human body is composed. The way to keep smiling is to take Kruschen Salts every morning --just a pinch in your first morning cup of coffee or tea. d 5 0 RISING MADE EASY No longer need ,the heavy sleeper azedly seek for his electric light witch when awakened by his alarm lock in the early morning.

GROWING DEAF WITH HEAD NOISES? TRY THIS Verses 27-29. In these verses Christ lays down this great principle that under the stress of fierce temptation either the body has to he denied or the soul has to he injured. Verses 43-48. Here Christ sets forth the teaching that unless there be pureness of heart there will be pollution of lips, unless there be rightness of heart there will he hidden and baleful fire in the spirit, and it will express itself in contempt and malice, and harsh- ness and cruelty. In the beatitudes and the practical application of them Jesus setts forth infinite principles which can be applied in all the var- ious circumstances which make up all the changefulness of human life. WORLD MISSIONS Many Indians to -day oompel us to take a new outlook on all Indian life in our Dominion. While there are still about 9,000 out of a population of 105,000 who adhere to their aborig- inal beliefs, bhey are many Chris- tians of the third generation. Their young people are looking forward to citizenship, to comfortable and well- erdered homes, aid to earning a live • lihood apart from a nomadic life. They are no longer hound by tribal customs and conditions. Subtle witchcraft, the cunning medicine man, the,"Indian medicine" which an enemy Could use with fatal results, the cruel ceremonies through which trial honors were won, the terrors of the warpath, have to them oecorn things of the past, stories about which the older, people sometimes tell. The hope of the Indians ceasing to be wards of the Government and de- pendent upon Reserve life, is with the young people and in their, pre- paration for Christian citizenship.

Here one might re- mark that one of the best features of the Amos 'n' Andy performance is its brevity. It is never long enough, which is just ten thousand times bet- ter than being a shade too long. We learn, too, that the absence of wise cracks from 'their programs is by no means due to their inability is provide them. If, in the natural course of preparing their dialogue, the subject having been determined on some witty come -back occurs to them they rule it out as being not in keep- ing with the types they are desiring to present. For example, the other day they were getting their act ready and Andy said to Amos, "Ah goin' beat you up. Ah goin' to knock de knots right off yo' haid." The ex- pected thing would have been for Amos to reply, "Ah ain't got no knots on ma haid." Whereupon Andrew might have retorted with fatal smart- ness, "Ah goin' put some knots on you haid an' den knock 'em off." But instead of yielding to this temptation Amos merely replied to Andy's threat with "Don't do dat, Andy—don't do dat." That is resisting the tendency to get a laugh at the cost of sacrific- ing the characters being portrayed.. What are these characters? The universal American negroes. Th e performers have no particular negro in mind nor the negrees of any pate titular district. They simply give the rather simple-minded negroes that are more or less general, and to con - Ivey their meanings they use a dialect that is not local but widely accepted. Just how clever is their imperson- ation is to be inferred from the fact that they are tremendously popular among negroes, most of whom believe that they belong to their own race. Another reason for their popularity is that while Andy is as ridiculous a figure as Andy Gump, he is never re- presented in any manner that would be discreditable. He is not involved in gin parties nor gamblipg nor any other unseemly behavior. His flirta- tions with Madame Qeor n are such as might properly be carried on before the eyes of a radio audience. While Andy seems to be a destined victim of lodge brothers and get -rich -quick artists he is never involved in any shady transaction Both Amos and Andy are decent, law-abiding citizens and the stuff of which their adven- tures are nsade is the same stuff that Briggs found to "give a universal hu- man appeal to his cartoons. It con- tains little exaggeration and their performance, we believe, will class with that of Willis Sweatman, Lew Dockstader, Lew Tully, Monroe and Mack, and McIntyre and I`tath, all white men who were more like negroes than any negro with the ex- ception of Bert Williams knew how to be. Andy and Amos keep about four days ahead in their ,programes. They find them not difficult to write for they_geta lot of fun both out of the composition and also the delivery be- fore the microphone. As noted earl- ier they give the whole show. King - fish and any other person who hap- pens into the act is represented by either of the boys. The illusion of a third or even a fourth voice we be- lieve is one of the cleverest effects they produce. They have even imi- tated a woman's voice, When they were doing their Sam 'n' Henry act, they introduced Liza,, Sam's lady love up from the south on a visit. Mr. Gosden, viTio was Sam, took her part, but on the third day of Liza's visit, he caught a cold and it was impos- sible for him to simulate a female voice. .So Liza was abruptly shipped back home. They were asked what would happen if one of them happen- ed to become ill. Could the other carry on? Correll generously says that if he fell ill Golden could give the whole show but that he would be stuck if Gosden was out. We trust it will be a long time before any such international calamity occurs. If you are growing hard of hearing and fear Catarrhal Deafness or if you have roaring, rumbling, hissing nois- es in your ears go to your druggist and get 1 ounce of Parmint (double strength), and add to it 14 pint of hot water and a little granulated su- gar: Take 1 tablespoonful four times a day. This will often bring quick relief from the distressing head noises. Clogged nostrils should open, breath- ing become easy and the mucus stop dropping into the throat. It is easy to prepare, costs little and is pleas • ant to take. Anyone who is threat- ened with Catarrhal Deafness or who has head noises should give this pre- scription a trial. 1 Prld. v(4 „•,ail !N fr f,. uAA WE PRESENT LOW-DOWN ON AMOS 'N' ANDY We do not hesitate to number our- selves am4tg thosewho find lots of fun in Amos 'n,' Andy, although we admit. that they have not driven us to change any tooth paste habits. Nevertheless we congratulate most heartily the Pepsodent people for having the enterprise to give radio listeners such a delightful programme every night of the week but Sunday. Our own regret is that they do not present it on Sunday as well. We do not know whether the Pepsodent peo- ple are advertisers in this paper and we do not care. We are glad enough to give them this free notice because of those two very appealing coons, Amos and Andy. As a matter of fact the entertainers are not negroes at all. Quite the reverse. They are two fair skinned, well-groomed young men. Amos is tall and slender, with curly brown hair and light brown eyes. Andy is somewhat shorter, heavier and darker, and his eyes have a humorous twinkle. In real life it is Amos, who is the loquacious one, Andy being rather more reserved and in- clined merely to corroborate what his partner says rather than launching out with his own original ideas. They write their own stuff and are the whole show. They are now visiting New York, for as Amos says,."New York is the real criterion of whether or not a show is good. You may be liked by all the rest of the country, but if New York hasn't set the stamp of approval upon you, you just haven't. arrived." We are here to say that whatever New York says those boys have arrived all right. , In real life Amos is Mx. Freeman Golden and 4.'ndy is Mr. Charles J. r'.orrelL It is a mere guess of ours that they have had considerable vaud- eville experience. For five years they .ave been working before the micro- -\hone, first as Sam 'n' Henry, an ex- 'lusive Chicago •feature of WGN. Af- ter that contract expired they signed p with the Pepsodent people anri heir voices are now heard from a 'jozen or more stations in the United ates and Canada.

THE OMINION BANK SEAFORTH BRANCH R. M. Jones - - Manager efle lages to the nearest elevator. Near Briansk forty-eight dealers and peasants were arrested for agi- tating against selling grain to the government. The government, despite the ter- rific resistance, have succeeded in buy- ing more grain so far this year than last, leaving a greatshortage of food in the country districts. The sales from the government "grain factories” and collective farms have been disappointing, the govern- ment in many cases meeting the same resistance from socialized farms as from individual peasants. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A FOND MOTHER Her child is a never-ending source of joy and a never -failing responsibil- ity to the fond mother. It is not in- frequently happens that minor ail- ments of the child distress and puzzle her; she does not know just what to do, yet feels them not serious enough to call a doctor. At just such times as these it is that Baby's Own Tab- lets are found to be mother's great- est help and friend. Most childhood ailments arise from a derangement of the stomach nr bowels. Baby's Own Tablets will immediately banish them by cleans- ing the bowels and sweetening the stomach. Thus they relieve colic, cor- rect the digestion, banish constipation and make teething pains disappear. Baby's Own Tablets are guaran- teed, to be free from injurious drags such as opiates and narcotics and may be given to the newborn babe with perfect safety` and beneficial results. They are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont.

EDWARD BOK, CREATOR OF LADIES' HOME JOURNAL Calvin Coolidge formally open theta Mountain Lak singing tower an'l' preserve which is close to his Floridaestate. Another notable gift was of $100,- 000 for the best plan to promote, world' peace. For' years he was a liberal but anonymous contributor to the Philadelphia Symphony orchestra. He was also the founder of the annual/gift to the Philadelphia citizen whop did the most valuable work in the course of the year. If we remember right the first winner was a man whcs designed a set of charming iron gates_ His philanthropies, it is easy to see,. did not follow conventional lines and when he retired ten years ago' from a position which paid'him an annual' salary of $100,000 he devoted him- self to the business of giving away his money. Service was the keynotes of his character once he had tired of making money, and any good and un- usual cause found in him a liberal supporter. We nevertheless cling to.~ the notion that the greatest thing he ever did was to build up the Ladies' Horne Journal to a circulation of more than 2,000,000 with advertising which amounted to more than a mil- lion dollars in each issue. The Boks came of a distinguishedt Dutch family, but financial reverses: drove the father to the UnitedStates, and his death when Edwardf was thirteen made it necessary for the lad to earn his own living. Hes began as messenger boy, became a. newspaper reporter, and spent his: spare time in poring over the ency- clopedia and pondering the lives of great men. He studied law for a- while and then worked with Henry' Holt and Co. and Charles Scribner's Sons before joining the Home Jour- nal. In his spare time he launche.! the Brooblyn magazine, which grew" into the Cosmopolitan, conceived thee theatre program an started the first woman's page ins American journalism. The latter a- chievement was performed through the medium of the Bok Syndicate press, which he founded in 1883. Af- ter his retirement he produced "The Americanization of Edward Bok,' which won the Pulitzer prize of the year. This book, oddly enough, Wats written in the third person and we do not doubt will continue to be read) and remain a source of inspiration for many years to come. Of all the 'Hollanders who entered the United States in the last cen- tury perhaps none rose to the emin- ence of the late Edward W. Bok whose death has been reported from Flori- da. We should be among the last to call Mr. Bok a great man or to sug- gest that anything he ever did was tinged with greatness. But he was one of the most successful men of his times. He built un one of the most famous magazines in the world; he fulfilled the story -:rook traditions by marrying the daughter of his incred- ibly wealthy publisher; he was the friend of presidents and statesmen. He gave away fortunes in philan- thropic projects. He even wrote a book which won the Pulitzer prize for the year. It seemed that in the natural course of things he would have many years of life in front of him, and his was the temperament that would have enjoyed every one of them. But as Mr. Bok 'himself was likely to have said, fate is inscrutable. At the age of 66 this successful, benevolent man passes from the scene. His was a career which if it does not stir the imagination at least should make a powerful appeal to the ambitious. It seems to us that what Mr. Bok achiev- ed almost anyone might achieve who would work as hard and faithfully as he worked and as accurately gauge the mediocre wistful longings of the public for (better things. His chief monument is The Ladies' Home Journal. Though it is ten years since he had anything to do with it except draw dividends it remains, as he planned it and built it up through arduous years since the time he be- came its editor at the age of twenty- five. The Ladies' Home Journal, like the Saturday Evening Post, also a Curtis publication, was then obscure enough with .little to' distingnish rt from a horde of cheap magazines which pretended to make a special appeal to women. Many of them were mere fashion pattern sheets. It was the enterprise of Bok, supported by the growing wealth of Cyrus Cur- tis, his father-in-law, which enabled the Ladies' Home Journal in time to become one of the very wealthiest magazines the world has ever seen, and to outbid all others, for whatever articles it wanted. We do not know whether Mr. Bok ever induecd any kings or queens to write for him though we think it altogether likely. But the greatest statesmen and the highest priced novelists were lured to its pages. In fact he made the Lad- ies' Horne Journal "news." However highbrow a mete might be, and how- ever he might,,:bniff at the magazine he simply ceufd not afford to ignore it when some of the best minds'in the English-speaking world were frenc- tioning in its pages. Mr. Bok had, besides unlimited funds, an ingratiating personality. People liked him and those his money might not tempt were beguiled by his earnestness and reverence. We re- member that once he had Theodore Roosevelt as a contributor, but for months nobody knew it. Incredible though it may seem there was a time Write Roosevelt wanted to rite about invportant matters and di not want, the public to connect his name with the articles. His contributions would go to Bok's private address, and Bok would himself retype the articles vvhich were then taken to the office, nobody but the two and perhaps their wives knowing about the atratege- tient for a long time.
