GOOD BLOOD FOR BAD
Rheumatism and Other Blood Dis*
eases are Cured by Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills.
"In tlio lead mint's I wns at work on my
Itnpes willi my elbows pressed against
rock walls, in dampness nud extremes of
cold," said Mr. .1. U. Muukel, of 2!)?5
Jackson nveune, Dubuque, Iowa, in de-
scribing lilt experience lo a reporter,
"Hid it is not surprising that I con-
tracted rheumatism. 1'or throe years I
linil attacks affecting tlio joints of my
Ankles, kuees and elbpws. My ankles
mill knees became no swollen I could
scarcely walk on uneven ground and a
little pressure from a stone under my
leet would cause 1110 so much pain that I
would nearly sink down. 1 was oJien
obliged to lie ill bed for several days at a
time. My friends who were similarly
troubled were i;ettin« 110 relief from
doctors and 1 did not feel encouraged to
throw money awav for nothing, lly
chance I read the story of Hobart Yates,
of the Klnner Manufacturing Co., of
Dubuque, who had a very bad case of
rheumatism I decided to try Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, the
remedy he had used. In tlireo or four
weeks after beginning to use the pills, I
was much better unit in three mouths I
was well. The swelling of the joints
and the tenderness disappeared, I could
work steadily and for eight years I have
had no return of the trouble. My w hole
family believe in Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills. Both my sons use them. We
consider them n household remedy that
we are sure about."
What Dr.Williams' Pink Pills did for
Mr. Meukel they are doing for hundreds
of others, livery dose sends galloping
l lirough the veins, pure, strong, rich, red
blood that strikes straight at the cause of
nil ill health. The new blood restores
regularity, and braces all the organs for
their special tasks. Get the genuine Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills at your drugeists'

NATURE'S ODORS IN EREEZES
Fashionable Fan I? Trimmed With
Fragrant Flowers
As breeze producers tiny palm leaf
fans with a burden of American Bi au-
ty roses—laid tlat and securely fast-
ened—aren't to be as ardently de-
sired as those of a simpler sort. How-
ever. they are the fad at present anil
many women at the Saratoga races
have carried such flower-laden fans.
These perfumed plain leaves left a
boumlltss fragrance in their wake.
MrR. Clarence Mackay was particular-
ly partial to them and used them for
favors at one of her luncheons last
week. There were eleven of them
all told and with their effective cargo
tied with broad pink ribbons, they
formed as attractive a table decora-
tion :i< could well be des're.i. If Mrs.
Ma"knv was a disciple of old-fash-
ioned economy she would have invited
another gues( thereby need ng a dozen
favors—which might hive meant a dis-
count from the tlorlst who supplied
them.—New Yoik Press.
Medals arc cheap In England. The

If You Should.
If you should have a Burn, a Bruise, a
Pain or Ache,
No nauseous, noxious nostrums should
you take.
If you should have a Sprain, a Cut, a
Bite or Stlrg,
Don't get alarmed and take Just any-
thing.
But use the King of Cures for just
such woes.
Its name is Hunt's l ightning Oil.
Bicycles and Priests
Dr. Adolf Fritzen, bUhop of Stras-
burg, has again Issued an edict for?
bidding priests within h:s diocese to I
use bicycles. He is sharply criti-
cised therefor by the newspapers,
which call attention to the fact that
bicycling ceascd long ago to be a
mere secular sport, and that priests
often find the wheel most useful, es-
pecially those who have to visit mem- I
bers of their congregations in remote |
country places.
Nothing chills the church quicker
than a lioihtad sermon.
The chtinnan rt quests a full mem-
bership at the next meeting, and It
Is said all members but one were fully
up to the 1 mit. That one was on the
water"wagon and refused to fall off.
Dcn't Be Irritable.
"An Irritated skin makes an irri-
table person, and an Irritable person
gathers much trouble unto himself or
herself, as the case may be. Moral:
Use Hunt's Cure, one box of which is
abso'utely and unqualifiedly guaran-
teed to euro any form of skin trouble.
Any kind of itching known Is relieved
at once and one box cures.'"

I. The Historical Situation.—The
Closing Years id tho Exile. We are
now drawing near to the closo of the
seventy years (dating from the begin-
ning of the captivities B. C. G0ii-4) for
.vhich period Jeremiah had foretold
that the exile should contliMtc (Jet,
JO: 12). .. • %
We now come to the providential
movements which made the Return
possible. A new king, and a new pol-
icy. now took possession of the umpire
that held the Jews captive. Cyrus the
Persian conquered Babylon.
Babylon the Great. From the time
of Nebuchadnezzar's father (B. C. (125)
Babylon rose in grandeur, power nnd
extent, till it became, under Nebuchad-
nezzar. such a city as never was seen
before, the most magnUceut and beau-
tiful city of antiquity.
Belshazzar. The nominal king of
Babylon at this time was Nabonidus.
He was a most scholarly man rather
than ruler, interested in his country's
institutions, and making most valuable
records on clay cylinders. There is,
says Mr. Pinches, "every probability
that Belshazzar, the son of Nabonidus,
i.as the real ruler." We hive learned
about Belshai./.ar from these tablets
nut inscriptions lately discovered in
the ruins of Babylon. He was the
crown prince, and may well have been
acting as king during his father's ab-
sence from the city at this time,
though he is not called king on the
tablets.
II. Helshnzzar's Great, Feast.—Vs.
I-1. Belshazzar was a youth flushed
with the excitement of almost uncon-
trolled power. Even while Cyrus was
approaching with his victorious army,
tiie young man. secure in the unrival-
ed strength of his city defenses, made
a great feast to a thousand of the no-
bles, probably in E-saglla. the magnifi-
cent temple of Belus, within the walls
of Babylon.
Belshazzar was seated on his throne
of gold. From Daniel's words to the
king (vs. 22, 23) we learn that the
young king used the sacred vessel of
the Jewish temple as an act of de-
fiance to the true God, boasting that
his heathen gods wero greater and
stronger than Jehovah since they had
made captives of his people, little reaV
izing thai the very reason why GOil
had permitted the Jews to be made
captives was on account of their turn-
ing to Idols and their cherished sins,
and as a means of disciplining them
from all Idolatry.
III. A Hand Writing His Doom on
the Wall.—Vs. 5-9. In the midst of the
carousal, the king saw the fingers of
a man's hand writing strange words,
"letters of fate and characters of
fear,'' on the wall in the full blaze of
the candlestick, perhaps the great gol-
den candlestick taken from the tem-
ple. "There is something blood-curd-
ling in the visibility of but a port of
the hand and its busy writing. No
wonder If the riotous mirth was frozen
into awe, and the wine lost flavor."
IV. Daniel Summoned to Interpret
the Writing,—Vs. 10-23. Belshazzar.
in his terror and horror, summoned
his wise men to declare what the
strange apparition and the blazing let-
ters meant, and promised great re-
wards to the one who should interpret
them: but alt failed. Either they could
not make sense of the letters, or could
not perceive what meaning they had.
Even if they had understood, it is not
llkelv that one of them would dare to
speak it out before the kinii.
1 lien the queen mother, mother cf
Belshnzzar. came In and svoke of Dap
iel as one who nad shown great gifts
at interpretation to his grandfather
Nebuchadnezzar. The event took
place more than thirty-five years he-
fore, and nothing Is known of Daniel
in the Interim. Daniel was sent for.
and came Into tho festival hall. He
heard the king's offer, and then spoke
! rave and true words which might eas-
ily cost him his life. It was one of the
most courageous acts in histor". We
cannot appreciate the greatness of
Daniel's course without seeing him In
the excited crowd of princes, under
ttH> in 11 nnice of wine, the kins on the
throne, all mopped in tlidir levels lo
gaze tn the strange letters on the wall.
Daniel Chr.rges Belshazzat with His
Sin and Folly. 17. "I.et thy gifts be
"o thyself." Keep them, do what you
w 1',: vitb them. Danl, 1 will "speak
God's rrurh without fear or favor, end
ihe rich presents the king offered can
pave no influence whatever.
1S-22. "The most high God gave
Nebuchadnezzar.' The true God is
sho a to be over all and above all. I:
was not Bel. nor Merodach. that con-
tr 'led the affairs cf the world. Je-
'lovah of Israel was tiie just God.Who
•ared for his people and the honor of
'lis came as a power for good in the
vorlg. Then Daniel repeats the story
old in Dan 4. as a warning that the
Ktr.g ought to have taken to heart. He
had refused to learn the lesson taught
by observation of the efTect of sin
upon others, and therefore it was nec-
essary that tho lesson should bo
taught in an even more impressive
way.
22. "And thou . . . hast not.
humbled thine heart," etc. You have
not sinned through Ignorance, but
have gone on In a wicked course in
splto of, in defiance of, God's lessons
of warning.
23. "But hast lifted up thyself."
Exalted thyself as if thou couidsl defy
and disobey with Impunity "the Lord
of heaven," the God above all, over all,
as heaven envelops (lie earth—the God
of all that greatness and purity and
goodness and power which heaven
symbolizes.
V. The Interpretation and Its Ful-
filment.—Vs. 23-30. "This is the writ-
ing.'
20. "Mene" (repeated for the sake
uf emphasis); "God has numbered thy
kingdom, and finished it." God had
put a definite limit to the number of
years the kingdom should last, and
that number was now complete.
27. "Tekel; Thou art weighed in
tlii' balances,'' as to his moral charac-
ter and actions, and been "found want-
ing,' of light weight like a counter-
feit coin, or one that did not come up
to the standard required. God had
tested him, and he had failed.
28. "Peres (the singular of the
word "Upharsin" in v. 25, the prefix
"U" meaning nnd. It is the same as
if "Peres" was written twice, like
"Mene," for emphasis. "Thy kingdom
is Divided," broken to pieces, or sepa-
rated from the present rulers and
"given to the Medes and Persians,"
under Cyrus, whom Belshazzar knew
were marching against him.
29. "Clothed Daniel with scarlet."
The royal purple. "Third ruler in the
kingdom." Either, one of three; or,
more probably, next under Belshazzar,
who was the second, being under his
father, Nabonidus. the king over all.
Thus the Persian conquerors found
Daniel, the Jew, not in obscure retire-
ment, but occupying the position of
an active statesman, and in a position
to help his exiled countrymen.
JO. in that night was Belshazzar
. . slain.' Swift and sudden came
the fo'etold doom.
The Heart of the Lesson.
The crimes 'for which Belshazzar
was condemned Were neglect1 of God,
and the WamnfJTs God had given his
fathers, and profaning holy things to
base uses. All irreverence in Ihe
house of God, ail punning and jesting
with sacred things, as the Bible and
hymns, all irreligion by which the soul
is absorbed in selfish or criminal
pleasures, all living In God's world full
of voices of warnings and invitation
to better things, and yet living in de-
fiance of his laws, of his love, of his
warnings—are akin to the deadly sin
of Belshazzar. They are the ruin of
individuals and of nations.
1 here is a handwriting of warning
and of doom on the wall for every sin-
ner. ft may be invisible for a time,
like that kind of writing which is in-
visible till brought to the fire, or
touched with chemicals, but it is writ-
ten where ills eye shall some time seo
it. It Is there as another warning to
repent. The eternal laws of God, and
his providence, are a gigantic hand
wri'ing the doom of every nation that
refuses to be righteous. It Is well fot-
them if they see the writing before it
is completed.
Our Days are Numbered. There is a
lime given for change and repentance
and a new life, but there comes a time
when it is too late, when the soul will
not change, when the habits are fixed.
We know not when it is, but the very
nature of the mind and soul shows
that we are going towards it. Disease
can be cured, hut there comes a time
when it is ipcurable.
Weighed in the Balances. Rev. Ilr.
Sehanfller in the Sunday School Times
rfdntS) out that as Belshazzar was
weighed on invisible scales—weighed
by himself, and weighed by God—so
we are all being weighed on invisible
scales. (1 We weigh ourselves, and
possibly are not aware of how un>rue
our records of mural weight may be.
(2) Our friends are weighin'g us in
their invisible scales, and possibly
tli<jir verdict is still farther away than
our own. (3) God weighs us in the in-
visible scales of Ills law, his word, and
our conscience.
But God wants us to come to him
and escape from the worst conse-
quences of our sins. He wants us to
euter and abide in the kingcoai of
heaven. He is ready to forgive. His
love sent his only Son to save us. But
he saves us cot in our sins but from
our sins.
