Two Ways of “Cleaning Up.”
Some years ago a young man from
a small eouittry town, on visiting Cin
cinnati, walked Into one of the down
town barber shojis to have his hair
cut.
After the barber had clipped for
some time on the young man’s head, he
asked him if he hadn’t better have his
hai rcleaned up. The young man, after
glancing itt the hair on the floor and
thinking the barber was trying to put
one over on him, said he “guessed not."
After asking the same question sev
eral times to no avail the barber gave
it up. The young man paid his hill
and went from tlie shop, laughing to
himself, thinking he wasn’t so green
after all.
Afterward it dawned on him that
the barber wanted only to give him a
shampoo.
To keep clean and healthy take Dr.

X DEMON-DOCTOR GIVES X
•f MOST UNIQUE TREATMENT ♦
♦ ♦
Herald Ashton, In Answers, London.
You would never think, to look at
the place, that there was anything
devilish about it.
It was a small, gabled, stone built
house with a square bow window, dis
creetly curtained, fronting the main
street in an unromantic little totvn in
Derbyshire. There was a diminutive
walled garden in front. On the wall
an amiable looking black cat was sun
ning himself.
If he was the devil, I had encoun
tered him at a "ery un-Satanic mo
ment of his existence, for he blinked
lazily at me with his yellow eyes as I
entered, purred softly, and went to
sleep again.
The place was called:
BETH-RAPA,
The Home for Divine Life,
Rest, and Teaching,
Where you can have quiet waiting
upon God,.
I knocked at the door. It was opened
by a huge, stout old man, whose face,
nestling in a comfortable fold of double
chins, reminded me very much of Mr.
Spurgeon. He gazed at me with mild
blue eyes, stretched out a smooth,
plump hand, and drew me inside.
“Enter, dear friend," he said, “and
have no fear! Your case shall be dealt
with immediately.”
“Are you the—the gentleman who
casts out devils?” I hazarded, hardly
believing that this extremely mild
mannered old person could be the in
dividual I had traveled so far to see.
“I am he,” was the reply.
And together we entered the sur
gery, or whatever you may choose to
call it.
There was nothing frightening about
It. It was a typical suburban “best
room,” brightly furnished, laden with
knickknacks, photographs on the walls,
antimacassars on the chairs, and an
Illuminated text over the mantelpiece.
A slight aroma of sulphur in the air
completed the ensemble.
“Pray be seated," said the plump old
gentleman.
I obeyed, and he came and knelt
down before me, his plump knee crack
ing slightly as he subsided. He again
took me by the hand, and searched my
face with his calm blue eyes.
“Have you brought your demon with
you?” he asked, in a matter of fact
manner. It really might have been my
umbrella he was inquiring about.
“Er—um—I don’t think I have," I re
plied. feeling a trifle uncomfortable,
but yet moved with an irresistible de
sire to laugh.
But the pastor, as he is called, was
so serious and so solemn that I re
strained my temptation to merriment.
“I suppose you imagine, dear friend,”
he went on, “that you don't possess
such a thing as a devil?”
“I wasn’t particularly aware of it,” I
Bald.
“But you do, friend—you do! You
have your devil, even as I, at certain
times and in certain circumstances,
have mine. Indeed, all of us have our—
shall I eay—pet demons? There is the
demon of avarice, of hate, of lust, of
despair, of desperation, of drink, of dis
quietude, of chicanery, of—of -. Oh,
dear friend, flocks and flocks of ’em—
as multitudinous as the sands on the
seashore, as devastating as locust
swarms, as. as-”
He waved his fat, white hand des
pairingly. Then he changed his prayer
ful attitude to the other knee—which
also cracked ominously—and fixed me
again with his pair of cerulean search
lights.
For some seconds we both crouched
and glared at each other like a couple
of mongrels before opening hostilities.
Then the pastor sighed very profoundly,
shook his leonine mane, and made a
noise like a kettle ardently on the boil.
Presently he became suddenly excit
ed, muttering and murmuring strange
words, one of which was undoubtedly
"Abracadabra,” and another which
sounded remarkably like “Sausages”—
though I can’t swear to it.
The Demon of Curiosity.
"I can classify your demon, sir,” he
said. "It’s a plump, unmistakable devil,
gnd the name of him is-"
He paused.
"Tell me the worst,” I urged. "I can
bear it! Your expert evidence of identi
fication will be more satisfying than
frightening."
“His name, sir,” the pastor declared,
”ia Curiosity. But he’s not quite ripe for
extraction yet. If you can call again—
Tuesdays and Fridays are my at home
days—I’ll do my best to get a grip on
the gentleman and yank him out.
"My fee?” The demon dentist smiled
a very pleasant smile. “Why, sir, noth
ing. except it be the lucre of your good
will, your grqjitude, and a trifle, if you
can spare it, for the poor. I charge
nothing for cases like yours. 1 only
charge for patients who, possessed of a
particularly vjrulent demon—a deep
seated devil—have to come and stay in
my hospital for a spell, and even then
the bill covers little more than board
and lodging."
“How do you do it?" I asked.
“Ah!” replied the old man. "My
method is secret. But I can tell you this
—I scent demgns from afar. Some are
sent to me; some come of their own ac
cord. All are welcome! Hapless suf
ferers, sick and wrackled under the tor
mentlngs and the soul twistings of their
personal devils, must come and stay at
the home for a certain period.
Fees Are Graduated.
“They pay according to the state of
their worldly affairs. For instance, I
charge a collier 10 shillings to 15 shill
ings a week, and a dustman even less.
My smallest fee was 3 shillings and 6
pence, which 1 charged a poor woman
for casting out her demon-—at cost
price, so to speak. My prescription—
up to a certain point—is quite simple:
Fresh air, fresh food, clear cold water,
and—prayer. That, for a start, makes
the demon begin to feel uncomfortable
and anxious for a change of residence.
“While 1 feed up the patient, I fast
myself, to prepare for the final tussle.
Then the spirit descends suddenly upon
me, and I go for the grim gentleman
with both hands. I know that IPs
either him or me! Once or twice It’s
very nearly been him, but, thanks be, I
come out on top in the end, and Mr.
Devil has hopped out, screaming!”
As a guarantee of his good faith, the
pastor introduced me to his latest
"cure,” a little boy named Willie, whose
demon of epilepsy had been cast out
with great success only a few days
previous. Willie was quiet happy and
composed.
Then my entertaining host produced
his "casebook” of outcastlngs, in which
I read some very interesting entries.
Here are two extracts:
"Pastor G-, of Leeds. Possessed
when a youth of a most fearful demon.
Came as paying guest to Beth-Rapha,
where I wrestled with the spirit, and,
after a terrific struggle, conquered. The
demon, turbulent and terrible, eventu
ally came hissing out of Pastor G-'a
mouth like a fierce serpent. The room
and everything shook; even the chairs
and the ornaments danced about. So
did I.
"Miss C-. Amost successful lady
novelist, but possessed by an atrocious
ly malicious demon, who inspired all
her stories. The tales were moral and
pretty, but the inspiration was bad, and
whoever read them would take in some
of the atributes of the wicked demon
who inspired them. My wrestling with
this evil spirit was so severe that tho
patient fell into a dead faint, lasting
one and three quarters hours. She re
covered, but she has never been able to
write stories since, her literary powers
having completely vanished."
When we finally said goodbye on the
hospitable doorstep of Beth-Rapha, 1
thanked and congratulated the pastor,
for I could not fail to recognize in him
a man of the very best intentions—
generous, considerate and kind to the
poor. How far the demons may have
been a figment of his Imagination 1
cannot say.
But he meant well, and I envied his
pluck. A man who can extract a full
grown, furious demon out of a coal
heaver for an inclusive fee of 7 and 6
is more than a credit to his country.
The war office ought to give him a
commission and turn him on the kaiset
and the crown prince with full powers
to act!
Why the Chinese Woman's Feot Are
Bound.
Jean Price in World Outlook.
And then we came to China, land of
that greatest torture to womankind
foot binding. I’ve had so many people
say to me, “That isn't done any more,
is it?” Bishop Lewis* says that if you
will travel 100 miles in any part of
the empire, you will get the idea that
there are no unbound feet.
A famous scholar told the bishop his
theory of foot binding. For centuries
China’s men have said: “Woman's
place is the home and child bearing
her business.” Perhaps we have China
to thank for originating that remark.
So the men conceived this brilliant idea
of breaking women’s feet—a sort of
padlock on the door of the home. It is
a padlock Indeed. No pleasure in mov
ing—why not sit? And sit these wom
en do, while the pigs wallow in and
out of the door and the children die
like flies of neglect and disease.
•[Bishop Lewis returned from China
last spring, and after spending most of
tho summer and fall in Sioux City, his
former home, sailed for the orient No
vember 3 to resume his missionary
work. He is a former president of
Mornlngside college.]

Bodily Housekeeping
(By V. M. riEBCE, M. LX)
The subject of drinking wnter with
meals lias been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by
means of X-rays, the observations of
•scientists such as Cannon, (irutzuor,
Pavlov, Fowler, Hawk, prove that tin
abundance of water taken during di
gestion is necessary in good bodily
housekeeping.
If your kidneys are sick, or you suf
fer with lumbago or rheumatism at
times, pain in the back or back of the
neck, take a little Anuric before meals.
Tills can be found at any good drug
store. Therefore my advice to young
or old is, always drink plenty of pure
water. And for long life, occasionally
take tablets of Anuric three or four
times a day.
Anuric acts much more quickly th in
litliin. Many find tlmt it dissolves
uric acid as water does sugar.

Getting Old Too Fast?
Late in life the body shows signs of
wear and often the kidneys weaken
first. The back is lame, bent and achy,
and the kidney action distressing. This
makes people feel older than they are.
Don’t wait for dropsy, gravel, harden
ing of the arteries or Bright’s disease.
Use a mild kidney stimulant. Try
Doan’s Kidney Pills. Thousands of el
derly folks recommend them.
