Of course, the bill will greatly increase the salaries in many instances, but the provision that all fees received must be turned into the county treasury will take much of the "velvet" out of many of the county offices In the large counties of the state. $6 Rea! Courage. He was the small son of a minister and his mother was teaching him the meaning of courage. "Supposing," she said, "there were twelve boys in one bedroom, and eleven got into bed at once, while the other knelt down to say his prayers, that boy would show true courage." "Oh," said the young hopeful, "I 'know something that would be more courageous than that? Supposing there were twelve ministers in one bedroom, and one got into bed without saying his prayers!"

GOLDEN TEXT "Take heed, and beware of 12:15. TIME Four or five years after the last leason. Prof. Beecher puts this atory In the 20th year of Ahab, B. 906 (or 863, Assyrian) between his Syrian campaign, I Kings 20 and the war described In I Kings 22.

PLACE Ahab's house In Samaria, and Naboth's vineyard In Jezreel, 20 miles to tho north. For four or five years Elijah seems to have retired from public life. He was practicing the lesson he had learned on Horeb. He was at work, but in a different way. His stormy work was not in vain.

That plowed the ground, and now was the time for sowing the seed. The seven thousand hidden believers were permitted come Into the open. Persecution had ceased. Others came out and joined them. The prophets had no longer to be hidden in a cave by Obadiah.

Elijah encouraged and was at the head of the organized communities or schools of the prophets which existed as far back as Samuel. In his last journey he visited the "sons of the prophets" at Bethel and Jericho, and Is spoken-of as their head master. From these centers and from the schools at Gilgal, Ramah and Gibeah they exerted a strong Influence and their appearance at any particular spot was often the signal for the outbreak of a contagious religious fervor. These settlements may be described as training schools for religious purposes. Elijah was thus educating the people in the religious life.

He was working In accordance with the still small voice of God. Elijah's success was in finding and training Elisha to be prophet in his stead, training under these newer influences and methods. The great prophet, so lonely hitherto, had found a friend. If. there was one thing Elijah needed to mellow him, it was that! Naboth, a native of Jezreel, had for his vineyard an ancestral possession.

We learn that Naboth was a worshiper of Jehovah, and in spite of the persecution of the prophets did not shrink from making it known to the king by his language. Here was an example of one who had not bowed the knee nor given a kiss to Baal. Jezebel coveted this vineyard. Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard. And Ahab went.

The Septuagint adds that he rent his clothes and put on sackcloth, as though shocked at his crime and anxious to prove his innocence to his own conscience and to the people. But the hypocrisy of the act was shown by his willingness to accept the fruits of the crime. This mourning for. the means but acceptance of the fact would not be in disaccord with Ahab'a moral weakness. Covetousness is "a root of all kinds of evil." It Is the desire, the motive that lies in the' heart, "the prolific mother of all sins, the cockatrice'B egg from which breaks forth the viper and the fiery flying serpent." It is not an awful thought that the deadly sin of Judas and of Ananias sprang from greed? "Still as of.

old, man by himself is priced; for thirty pieces Judas sold himself not Christ!" Much of the sin and danger to our land springs from covetousness. The graft, the dishonesty, the liquor selling, the bribery, the fraud of every kind. A clear vision of the evil covetousness works in the covetous man's own character and destiny. How it degrades him, shuts him up in a narrowing prison like one described among the tortures of the Inquisition, where the walls drew nearer together by one notch each day. The doors of opportunity are gradually shut against him, and his part In the blessing of the great world.

The one essential cure is a change of heart that leads to a change 6f character. It is to give your heart to God, to consecrate your whole being to him, to love and obey him, to strive with the whole to build up his kingdom. Love is the cure of covetousness; love to God and love to man. Use every opportunity of giving and serving others. Don't complain of so many calls, but rejoice In the opportunity; search for opportunities as for hid treasure.

God loves the whole-souled hilarious giver. Even the poorest can give. They can say, as Peter said to the lame man at the Beautiful gate of the temple, "such as I have give I thee." There is much more to give than mere money; sympathy, work, time, aid in sickness, feeding the hungry, shelter, care and a multitude of other things. Elijah confronted the king in his Ill-gotten property. The word of the Lord came to Elijah.

In what form we do not know, any more than we know all the ways in which one spirit influences another. But that it was God's word is a fact. "It is Implied that Elijah found Ahab strode into his in the vineyard from rheumatism. During that time, no telling how many gallons of the various kinds of liniments and oils I have used and with but little relief. Recently, I was confined to my bed I tried Sloan's Liniment A Fairly Wet World.

The Pacific ocean covers G8.OOO.00O miles, the Atlantic 30,000,000 and the Indian, Arctic and Antarctic 42,000,000. To stow away the contents of the Pacific it would be necessary to fill a tank one mile long, one mile wide and one mile deep every day for 440 years. Put in figures, the Pacific holds in weight 948,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth ol "not quite three miles. Its water weigha 325,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons, and 8 tank to contain it would have each oi its sides '43 miles long.

The figures of the other oceans are in the same startling proportions. It would take all the sea water in the world 2,000,000 years to flow over Niagara. and used it with such satisfactory results that I sent for two large bottles, and I have up to this time used about half a 50 cent bottle with splendid success." James Hyde, Beebe, White County, Ark. Got Ease in Less Than Ten Minutes. Mr.

James E. Alexander, of North Harpswell, "I am a ho' seshoer and subject to many strains in my back and hips which has brought on rheumatism in the sciatic nerve. I had it so bad one night when sitting in my chair, that I had to jump on my feet to get relief. I at once applied your 1 to the affected part and in less than ten minutes it was perfectly easy. I think it is the best of all Liniments." Sloan's Liniment does not need any rubbing.

It's a powerful penetrant Try it for Rheumatism, Sciatica, Sprains, Chest Pains, and Sore Throat. It gives almost instant relief. Price SOc, and $1.00 at All Dealers. Bend for Sloan's Free Book on Horses. Address DR.

EARL S. SLOAN, BOSTON, MASS. til lUiUSJUUil IT'S FOOD That Restores and Makes Health Possible. There are stomach specialists as well as eye and ear and other specialists. One of these told a young lady, of New Brunswick, N.

to quit medicines and eat Grape-Nuts. She says: "For about 12 months I suffered severely with gastritis. I wa3 unable to retain much of anything on my stomach, and consequently was compelled to give up my occupation. "I took quantities of medicine, and had an idea I was dieting, but I continued to suffer, and soon lost 15 pounds in weight. I was depressed in spirits and lost Interest in everything generally.

My mind was so affected that it was impossible to become interested in even the lightest reading matter. "After suffering for months I decided to go to a stomach specialist He put me on Grape-Nuts and my health began to improve immediately. It was the keynote of a new life. "I found that I had been eating too much starchy food which I did not digest, and that the cereals which I had tried had been too heavy. I soon proved that it is not the quantity of food that one eats, but the quality.

"In a few weeks I was able to go back to my old business of doing clerical work. I have continued to eat Grape-Nuts for both the morning and evening meal. I wake in the morning with a clear mind and feel rested. I regained my lost weight in a short time. I am well and happy again and owe it to Grape-Nuts." Name given by Postum Battle Creek, Mich.

T. B. Scott, of the Topeka state hospital, discussed "The Benefits of the Re3t Treatment for Insantiy." Firemen and engineers working In a city water and light plant come within the provisions of the eight-hour law, according to a decision rendered by the supreme court. The case in wnlch this decision was rendered is from Franklin county. Men employed In the city water plant at Ottawa were worked in two shifts, 12 hours in each shift.

They were not busy all that time but were on duty. The city contended that for the reason that they had a great deal of spare time they really worked less than eight hours a day. In the district court the city's contention was upheld but the supreme court reverses that decision. The court holds that it makes' no difference whether the municipal laborer is working all the time or not so long as he is on the Job. The eight-hour law applies.
