IS CHILD CROSS,
nd fancre:
Look, Mother! If tongue is
coated, give “California
Syrup of Figs.”
Children love this “fruit laxative,"
ftnd nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop playing
to empty the bowels, and the result is
they become tightly clogged with
waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach
sours, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don’t eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath Is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhea. Listen,
Mother 1 See if tongue Is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of ‘‘California
Syrup of Figs,” and In a few hours all
the constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the sys-
tem, and you have a well child again.
Millions of mothers give “California
Syrup of Figs” because it Is perfectly
harmless; children love It, and it nev-
er fails to act on the stomach, liver
and bowels.
Ask at the store for a 50-cent bottle
of “California Syrup of Figs,” which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly
printed on the bottle. Adv. _.

HANDSOME FROCK OF SATIN.
The handsome frock of satin appears
In the picture to have a bias against
symmetry and to be a one-sided affair.
But this Is the fault of the photo-
graph for both sides of the overdress
are made in the same way. The skirt
of the overdress, cut in one with the
body slopes downward and toward the
back, falling In cascaded plaits at the
bottom. In the back it Is long enough
to reach nearly to the bottom of the
underskirt.
The underskirt Is almost plain, with
plaits at each side of the front panel
and across the back. It has a wide
hem; but simplicity In this model
ceases with the underskirt. The over-
dress is odd and intricate, with grace-
ful, draped body, following the lines of
the figure vaguely and extending be-
low the waistline at the front. It
takes an expert to manage the cutting
of a garment that Is unusual In ad-
justment, like this one. The bodice
opens diagonally across the front and
the opening disappears under an ex-
ally of silk or satin made to slip ot
over an underblouse of georgette crepe
or chiffon. The kimono blouse slips
on over the head, and the peplum
blouses are made with either short or
long peplums. Each of these varieties
is made in so many ways that each is
a story by Itself.
But the blouse without a peplum,
like that shown In the picture, Is made
in greater numbers than all the othem
put together. There la really no end
to the variations, In details of decora-
tion, In collars, sleeves and cut, thai
the popularity of this style compels
It Is made In all the washable mate
rials—Including crepe and other silks*
and often two materials are combined
In it.
The blouse pictured Is of crepe geor-
gette with satin collar and cuffs. It
is rather elaborately embroidered at
the front with silk and beads and la

trast Is Introduced In the embroidery.

Lesson ,
(By E. O. SELLERS, Acting director of
'the Sunday School Course in the Moody
Bible Institute ot Chicago.)
(Copyright. 1917, Western Newspaper Union.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 1
JESUS GIVES SIGHT TO BLIND.
LESSON TEXT—John 9:1-11, 36-38. (Read
elGOLDEN1TEXT— I am the light of (he
world.—John 9:5.
This, another of the signs which
Jesus performed, is recorded only by
John. It probably occurred in Octo-
ber, six months before the crucifixion,
while Jesus was attending the Feast
of the Tabernacles. There are six
other cases of blindness recorded as
having been cured. Look them up.
I. The Case (vv. 1-4). It was abso-
lutely hopeless. No human skill could
touch it, but Jesus “passed by,” and
that changed everything. What men
cannot do Jesus can. Jesus is passing
i toduy, and we muy expect things quite
I as wonderful to happen (John 14:12).
! This blind man Illustrates the unsaved
' sinner (I Cor. 2:14). He never hud
j seen. He was beyond human help (v.
I 32). He had doubtless given up all
hope of seeing. He was without sym-
j pathy, suspected and despised (vv. 2,
I 34). Poor—he was a beggar. He is
J also a type of the nation of Israel
(Rev. 3:17). We must not attempt to
explain all sickness (v. 3). God fre-
1 quently uses it for the advancement
I of his kingdom (John 11:4). Jesus
not only passed by but lie “saw.” The
feeling of the crowd was that of curi-
osity and contempt. His feeling was
that of compassion (vv. 2, 4 and 0).
Sickness sometimes manifests God’s
sustaining grpee (II Cor. 12:8-10). It
is doubtless true that a large percent-
age of sickness is the direct result of
sin (John 5:14; Mk. 2:5; Acts 12:23),
some, of course, indirectly (Job 23:14-
30).
II. The Cure (vv. 4-11). The word
“must” in verse four is u strong cue.
The time for us to do our work Is
"now.” This word “must” carries with
It the idea of a divine Imperative, and
the reason for that imperativeness is
the approaching “night." Night Is
coming fast, when no man can work.
Notice the works we are to do are not
our own, but “the works of him that
sent me.” Compare carefully verses
two and four, and see that Jesus con-
sidered delivering the man from evil
far more important than speculating
about the origin of his complaint. Too
much time is spent in investigation.
Let us have more of action. The
means used in this cure were clay and
spittle. The miracle was performed In
plain view of all who might see. The
man did not ask Jesus to help him. but
Jesus had gone where he was (v. 5).
Ills words, "Go wash” were a test of
the man’s faith (II Kings 5:10-14),
and his part in the transaction was a
testimony that it was Christ who
worked the cure. The use of the
material means In this ceremony made
the man more willing to go and wash.
It gave him something to do, and doing
Is always an end to faith. biloam
means “sent,” and was a type of Jesus
himself (v. 4; John 10:30; Korn. 8:3;
Gal. 4:4). If we wish to receive sight
for our blind eyes, we should go to
him and bathe (John 8:12).
III. The Controversy (v. 12 to end of
chapter). This controversy gave op-
portunity for testimony, as we have
already seen, first of all upon the part
of the man whose testimony was pro-
gressive. At first be merely spoke of
the fact. He was not acquainted with
Jesus, for he calls him "The man
called Jesus.” Later on he Is moved
to call him a “prophet” He Is a
prophet (v. 17). and later still he
recognizes him as “The Son of God
(vv. 35-38). This controversy estab-
lished beyond question the fuct of the
cure. It brought out the deity of
Christ (v. 33). The man was excom-
municated. but for that matter he was
nlreudy outside because of his physical
infirmity, but, best of all, ^ie became
truly Christ’s disciple.
IV. Comments. This lesson with its
vivid contrasts of belief and unbelief
gives us a wonderful opportunity to
urge upon pupils a decision to live the
Christian life. Has Christ opened the
eyes of our scholars to the love of
God, to the awfulness of sin, to the
need of a <Savlor, our divine Leader
and Brother? Urge them. In the class
and out, to be as outspoken and cour-
ageous for Christ as was this man who
had never before perhaps seen or
heard of Jesus, and whose gratitude a
once called forth this wonderful con-
fession. „ „
Being cast out by the rules of the
synagogue brought this man into closer
and deeper fellowship atid commun-
ion with Jesus.
He had believed far enough to obey
his bidding, and had thus been healed.
Now he Is brought to a great sav-
ing. transforming faith, viz., that Jesus
Is the Son of God.

lege of confession?

Members of the Social Target club,

ago when a big flock of ducks settled
on the lake and flouted about, waiting
to be shot.

squirmed the hunters, guns ready.
“Hello," enme a walling voice across
the water, apparently from the flock.

"Hello, hello, hello," came the an-
