"IF THE 8HOK FITS YOU
THEN WEAR IT"
By
ADAM LIAR
A friend of mine was in a while
ago and suggested that we go "have
something." I went, of course.
"What'll yer have?" is sure get
ting to be some question these days.
Ijet's shake for it, the loser has to
drink BOTH cokes.
Yesterday I spied a .lamaeia gin
ger carton on the street. Guess some
poor cuss must have torn it off the
bottle before he devoured the con
tents. He probably then went off
Hmew!ipre and went to sleep. May
be he dreamed he was somewhere
and was flush. He probably told the
barkeep to "make TWO .fumacia gin
ger cocktails, an' no olive in mine."
That was in his sleep, of course.
r O
Barkeeper, have that man put out
he said - "He's talking about the
good old days so that I'm weepin'
in my grapejuice rickey."
o
While we're at it I'll say don't ask
me to take another drink now, boys.
Positively. I'm so full of root beer
the foam's ticklin' my ears.
"Can't you put a dash of gasoline
In it, or something. Just to give It
taste?"
o
"It sure has got the looks, 'aim
it? It's not so bad at that, is it?"
o
And then last night I was invit
ed out to dinner and the host said.
"Come on, let's have a vinegar cor
dial, just to top off the dinner with."
o
"That," said a local physician, as
he examined the lump on the neck of
one of the railroad boys, "is the re
mains of an old boil that started to
come and then became encysted
there."
"Well," said the patient, "it bus
sure encysted in staying there."
We wpic talking about a ceriiiln
well-known Alliance Spanish athlete
when my friend passed this one.
"Why, he's so successful with the
bull that he would call any other way
of doing things hard work."
o
Just this morning 1 was talking
with one of those guys that are al
ways trying to pull some quotation
to express what they can't say In
their own Knglish. Well, this fel
low said, "Still water runs deep."
That didn't express it at all, at all.
for ya know still water doesn't run
at all. at all.

I wonder if this line-o-dope isn't
pretty tame this woek so far. May
be you are expecting something hot
ter. If you want something hotter
than some of this weather we've been
having. I can tell you where to go.
No. it's not where you think It's
just on farther in this column.

I was talking to one of the mer
chants this week about advertising.
He didn't feel like it. I suggested
that In view of the wide skirts and
the regular breeze that a hosiery ad
would be in order. He said. "
don't need to advertise, my custom
ers always advertise my goods."
Then I had to tell him it didn't al
ways rain here.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 19
FINDING THE BOOK OF THE LAW.
LESSON TKXT-II Chronicles 34:14-33.
OOLDKN TEXT-l will not forget, thy
word.--Paa. 119:16.
I. The Book of the Law Found (w.
14-17). 1. The occnslon (v. 14). It wits

2. By whom (v. 14). Hilkiah, th'
high priest, was the flutter. It Is
strange that the high priest was Igno
rant of the place where the law WU
fotiii'l. It is a sad comment upon tin
moral and spiritual condition of priests
ami kings, since they were appointed
guurdluns of God's law. It is, however,
itlwavs true that when one does not
want to have his life ordered by the
P.ihle he will put it out of his night.
The disappearance of the Bible from
our homes, and the neglect of It In our
Kimly, is a certain sign of evil in our
lives. Be assured, however, that
though the law of the Lord be removeu
from our sight It shall sooner or later
come before us to judge us. God has
deelaretl that his Word shall not return
unto bin void, but shall accomplish Unit
whereuuto It hath been sent.
:i. Its disposition (v. 16). Hilkiah
gave the law to Shaphan the scribe,
who delivered it to the king along with
his report as to the disposition of the
money which had been collected.
II. The Book of th Law Read (w.
IS. 28, :). i. To the king (v. 18).
This wir a most impressive scene, the
king listening to the reading of the
law of 004, It was the proper thing
to do, for those appointed by Cod to
rule over the people should be unxlous
to know the will of ;m! concerning
them. Tlie pious king, beUcvUkl in it
;is Hod's Word, was anxious to kngw
Hod's thought concerning the nation.
His interest bet aim intense, us he wits
made conscious of the apostasy of his
people from God's law. His chief anxi
ety was to know what was God's pur
pose as to the nation in view of their
idolatry. It Is a sensible thing to make
oneself intelligent as to his responsi
bilities, even to know what Judgments
thall befall those who have turned
from God. One should know the worst
while there is time yet to escuie his
wrath, for renentance Is the only dnr
of escape from petilMion.
2. To tin- people (vv. J10). At the
direction of the king the priests, eldets

jj Hot Water Each Morning i I
1 1 Puts Roses in Your Cheeks
To look one's best and feel one's best!
is to enjoy an inside bath each morning
to flush from the system the previous
day's waste, sour fermentations and poi
sonous toxins before it is absorbed into
the blood. Just aa coal, when it burns,
teeTes behind a certain amount of in
oorabustible material in the form of
ashes, so the food and drink taken esch
day leave in tbe alimentary organs a
rertain amount of indigestible material,
which if not eliminated, form toxina and
poisons which are then tnirked into the
blood through the very duct which are
intended to suck in only nourishment to
sustain the body.
If you want to see the glow of healthy
bloom in your cheeks, to see your skin
get clearer and clearer, you are told to
drink every morning upon ariaing, a
glaaa of hot water with a teaspoonfu)
of limestone phosphate in it, which is a
harmless means of washing the waetr
material and toxins from the stomach,
Dver, kidneya and bowels, thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary tract, before putting more
food into the stomach.
Girls and women with aallow skins,
liver epots, pimples or psllld complex
ion, also those who wake up with
coated tongue, hsd taste, nasty breath,
others who are bothered with headaches,
bilious apella. acid atomach or constipa
tion should begin this phosphsted not
water drinking and are assured of very
pronounced results in one or two weeks.
A qusrter pound of limeetone phos
phate coats very little at the drug store
but is sufficient to demonstrate that just
ss soap and hot water oleanses, purifies
and freshens the akin on the outside, so
hot water and limestone phosphate act
on the inside organs.. We must always
consider that internal sanitation ia vast
ly more important than outside cleanli
neaa, because the akin pores do not ab
sorb impurities into the blood, while the
bowel pores do.
Women who desire to enhance tbe
hesuty of their complexion ahould jual
try this for a week and notice results.
