Mothers in Greece, before putting their children in the cradle, turn round three times. This is to ward off evil about men who-showed strength or weakness in obeying or disobeying God's laws. The first young man, named Absalom, had every reason to be strong, but became weak and help- less and finally met 4 miserable death because he broke one of God's laws by--disobeying the commands of his own father. If he had obeyed God's word (Eph. 6. 1), he would have been strong in the hour of trial. The next young man started out in life strong in body, mind and spirit. His father, David, gave him such good advice when he was anointed king that he could not but bé strong if he followed it (1 Chron. 28. 9). One of the first things Solomon did was to make such a wise choice that his strength was greatly increased. He found the very source of strength and drew upon it for many years (Prov. 9. 10). He was chosen to build a great element of strength-- gentleness, 10). He found it sufficient for his new | the way." needs. Ben-hadad had a great and powerful army, but this availed him nothing, for he lost the power to control the sol- diers when he lost the power to con- trol himself. The young men who had trained themselves to obey Overcame and defeated Ben-hadad. In Psa. 72 the writer prays for a king to comé in whom there shall be every --mercy, justice, forgiveness, faithfulness, fearlessness. came whose reign shall never cease. He is the ex- ample of strength through obedience, He is our brother Jesus Christ, the son of God our Father. DA BURIED TREASURE IS SAFE, Valuables Worth $250,000 Escaped Huns' Thieving.

Solomon's son, Rehoboam, lost his strength by thinking more of himself than he did.of the people over whom he ruled. His people were divided and he was weakened. It was something in his heart that made him fail in his day of opportunity (Prov. 16. 18). When the kingdom was divided, the larger share of it fell to Jeroboam, who was not of the royal family. Jeroboam lost his power by doing a wrong thing in his effort to keep the people loyal to him. He disobeyed one of God's commandments when he did this (Exod. 24, 4, 5a). But a good king came to reign in Ju- dah who increased his strength by do- ing what was right in the sight of God. He relied upon God for his strength, and God. never failed him.

Jowett, D.D. * 1 1 HEALTH Arthritis Deformans. This is a chronic and progressive disease of the joints that impairs or destroys their usefulness and often produces serious deformity. Arthritis deformans has afflicted the human race as far back as we can trace it, for archeologists have found bones deformed by it in the ancient tombs of Egypt. The disease was once believ- ed to be closely related to gout and rheumatism; but that opinion is no longer held. There is apparently a predisposition in some constitutions to gout, or rheumatism, or arthritis deformans; but the three diseases are istinct. Women. suffer: from. life, but t usually begins between - thirty-five and fifty-five. t ages of it afflicts children, it is generally be- cause of bad hygienic conditions, in- sufficient food, or exposure. The same evils may also account for the fact that it is of such frequent occur- rence among the poor. Arthritis deformans is a chronic affection; sometimes it appears to be of nervous origin. At any rate, there is constant evidence that worry, grief, and mental fatigue play a part in its occurrence. The principal symptoms are pain and stiffness in the various joints as they become affected one after the other. The small joints, those of the fingers and toes, especial- ly, are first .attacked. The acute symptoms subside and then return, and with each return the deformity becomes more marked. Persons who suffer from this disease are always "below par," and every- thing must be done to improve their general condition and to maintain their general health. The disease does not directly menace life. A warm and dry climate, with plenty of fresh air and sunshine, and with complete absence of care and worry, are the ideal conditions for the patient. Where they cannot be obtained, approach them as nearly as possible. The pa- tient should be careful to avoid any chilling of the surface of the body, and his diet should be nourishing and abundant. edical treatment by means of hof air, certain baths, and electricity is beneficial in many cases.

In severe at- tacks, especially if the child was in poor physical condition at the begin- ning of the illness, there may be con- vulsions or delirium. en the "acute congestive type" attacks very young infants the ill- ness comes on with startling sudden- ness, the temperature sometimes goes to 105 deg. or 106 deg., the pulse is rapid,--as high perhaps as 180,--and death may occur in a few hours. The younger the child, the more serious is the outlook, but any baby suffering from broncho-pneumonia needs the most careful nursing. It should be in a large, quiet, well-ventilated room, under the constant care of one adult at a time, who will carry out exactly the treatment that the physician in charge orders.--Youth's Companion.
