1 ‘}+++++++++++++++++++He Japan Has [fined Last Doubt as to Modern Progresst Japan has killed the last doubt as to its modern progress by the organization of a “class of courtâ€" ship” for git-33 in each of the sec- ondary schools: The Japanese mai- dens are taught that'if they “should be so unfortunate {is to fall in love before becoming engaged” they must ooncel the fact. Above all they must remember that women never propose. Another thing they are warned that wellâ€"bred girls do not exchange photographs with their admirers. In Japan imtil now there has not been any trouble about courting, and this is the first evidence that the Japanese maidens need instruct-ion in affairs of the heart. Classes to the contrary, how- ever, the point is maintained that there is not {ILJuiiPt under the sun who does know the exact formula for dealing with a Romeo.

But it must be borne, in mind that it is not the weather that causes. rheuâ€" matism, the. trouble is rooted in the bloodâ€"the damp. changeable weather merely starts the aches and often almost unbearable pains g0- iné;r The trouble must be reached through the blood, and tl’ie poison- ous rheumatic acids driven out.

Whenever we see a funeral procession passing along our streets, as we so often do, we shouldremember the Easter tidings. When one of our friends goes, home (:0 God’s QLher world of infinite beauty we should rcmemb<,1 that. same message of hope and comfort. Jesus said, “Because I live; ye shall live also,” and “He that liveth and believeth on me, shall never die.” 7 As the women went away from the Lombihey met Jesus himself, and he gave them‘a message to take to his disqiples. “You seek Jesus, who was cruci- fied.” he said. “He is not. here. He is risen. ' You wiil find hinLin Ga.- lilee, where he will meet you and Iva-1k with you just as he psed to do.” But a more wonderful thing than that had happened, for they stooped down and look-ed into the tomb they saw it was empty. When they went) into the little room, or cave, cut out of the rock, they found an angel sitting at the place where the body had been. The an- gel told them not to be afraid. Very early the next morning, just as the gray dawn was breaking, some women came to the garden bringing spices to put- about the body of Jesus. It was blossom iime in Palestine, and I suppose the gal-£â€" den was full of flowers and frag rance, but the women did‘ not notice either. Their hearts were full sf sorrow, for Jesus had been very dear to them, and they grieved to think he had vanished from their lives.

After Jesus had been crucified on that lonely bill a rich man called Joseph of Amnfiw tliaea asked Pilate to let him have the body, that he might give it burial in his own garden. He did this because he loved Jesus and wanted to do something to show his love and honor for his dear friend. Pilate consented, and 'after the body had been wrafiped in fair white linen, perfumed with fragrant. spices, it was laid to rest in the quiet- garden. A stone and seal were placed against the door, and at the request of some ofi the Jews a guard of Roman soldiers was set to watch the tomb the next night. man, when God sént his Son Jesus to our old earth to help others and to make them-see the power “and beauty of a good life marred by no stain of evil. We thought that was a wonderful story. Now for sevczl- al weéks we have been studying some of the words Jesus spoke and the things he did during his xnmis- try in Galilee.

Each firm had acquired or developed 11 number of valuable formul$ for medicinal and toilet preparations, all of which become the property of the “National”. There are therefore no experiments among NA-DRUâ€"CO preparations. We have invested alto~ gether too much time, work and money in the NA-DRU-CO line to take any chances of discrediting it ‘with preparations that might not prove satisfactory. We make absolutely certain that each preparation is satisfactory before we endorse it with the NA-DRU-CO 'l‘rmle Mnrlr. . Since the union our expert chemists have carefully gone over these formulae and selected the best for the NA-DRU-CO line. Every formula has been carefully studied by them experts, improved if possible, and then thoroughly tested again, in actual use, before we consider it good enough to bear the NA-DRU-CO Trade Mark. A good example of‘what we mean is NAâ€"DRU-CO Nervozone for Brain Fag or nervous breakâ€"down.
