Dover, Del.—" I wish every woman
>uld take your wonderful medicine as it
--—~ hasdonesomuchgood
to me. I had cramps
and faint spells and
very bad pains. One
day I was over to my
neighbor'8 house and
she told me I ought
to take LydiaE.Pink-

Compound. Sol went
to tne store on-my
way home and got a
bottle, and took the
_firstdose before sup-
per. I have been taking it ever since,
and you can hardly believe how different
I feel. I had just wanted to lie in bed
all the time, and when I started to brush
up I would give out in about ten min-
utes. So you know how badly I felt. I
used to go to bed at eight and get up at
seven, still tired. Now I can work all
day and stay up until eleven, and feel
all right all the time. My housework is
all I do in summer, but in winter I work
in a factory. I have told a good many
of my friends, and I have had three
come to me and tell me they wouldn’t
do without the Vegetable Compound.”

LESSON FOR JANUARY 13
NEWS HAPPENINGS m A TTTTW
What Has Transpired This
Week the World Over.
THE LONG SOJOURN IN EGYPT
LESSON TEXT—Gen. 47:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord shall pre-
serve thee from all evil; he shall pre-
serve thy soul.—Pe. 121:7.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—From Slave to Prune Aiinister.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—Joseph and the Migration to Egypt.
The seed promised Abraham,
through which the world was to be
blessed, was fulfilled in the giving of
Isaac. Of Isaac’s two sons', Jacob,
the younger, was chosen. To Jacob
was given twelve sons. They became
the heads of the Twelve Tribes of
Israel. Joseph, a son of Rachel, Ja-
cob’s beloved wife, was especially
loved by his father. Because of the
partiality shown by Jacob, Joseph’s
brethren hated him. This hatred was
fanned into flame by his making known
to his brethren certain dreams. There-
fore, when his father sent him to in-
quire after the welfare of his brethren,
they sold him a slave to Midianite
merchantmen who in turn sold him to
the Egyptians. Under a false charge,
made by Potiphar’s wicked wife, he
was cast into prison. Through the
interpretation of a dream of one
of Pharaoh’s servants, and later
Pharaoh’s dream, Joseph was provi-
dentially exalted to be Prime Minister
of Egypt. He put on a great conserva-
tion scheme, which provided against
the bitter famine which came upon all
that country. This sojourn in Egypt
taught Israel in a new way to trust
God, welded them into a nation, trans-
formed them from a nomadic to a set-
tled life, and gave them acquaintance
with the material advancement of
their time.
I. Joseph Presents His Father and
Five Brethren to Pharaoh (Gen.
47:1-6).
1. Pharaoh’s Invitation (Gen. 45 :-
16-19). Jacob and his sons were in
Egypt by Pharaoh’s invitation. Joseph
went out to the land of Goslien to
meet them. Though now’ occupying
an exalted position, Joseph was not
ashamed of his father even though he
was a plain country lriau.
2. Joseph’s Tact (vv. 1, 2; cf. 46:30-
34).
(1) In introducing his father and
brethren in a personal way, thiya*
'capTtafiz'ing Ills'owiTInfluence in Favor
of his kin. Para oh had high regard
for Joseph ; therefore would do’much
for them for Joseph’s sake. God does
much for us for Jesus’ sake.
(2) In having his father and breth-
ren come to Goshen (Gen. 45:10).
Since possession is “nine points of the
law,” they were already in Goshen
before asking Pharaoh for permission
to occupy it (v. 4).
(3) In coaching his brethren (Gen.
46:34). He taught them beforehand
what to say, because he knew how
awkward they would be in the pres-
ence of the great king. Our Joseph,
Jesus Christ, teaches us how to pray
and what to pray for.
(4) In choosing five, not all (v. 2).
In all probability he chose the five
who would make the best appearance.
He knew the great importance of first
impressions.
3. Their Request to Pharaoh (vv.
3, 4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh’s
questions and put the proper words
into their mouths to use in making
their desires known to Pharaoh: “Let
thy servants dwell in Goshen.”
4. Pharaoh’s Response (vv. 5, 6).
(1) His gracious offer. They were
to enjoy the best of the land accord-
ing to their choice. He dealt with
them very liberally.
(2) Positions of trust offered to cap-
able men among them. He knew how
capable Joseph was and surmised that
some of his brethren might be like-
wise gifted. This gracious offer was
because they were related tp Joseph.
II. Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (vv.
7-10).
Though Pharaoh was the great king
and Jacob now a supplicant at his feet
receiving natural blessings, yet moral-
ly Jacob was above Pharaoh and
therefore conferred blessings upon him.
This humble saint of God is higher in
dignity than earth’s greatest king.
Jacob discloses his own estimate of
the earthly life of the believer. He
calls it a pilgrimage of short duration.
III. Joseph Nourishes His Father
and Brethren (vv. 11, 12).
1. He placed them in the best of
the land, according as Pharaoh had
commanded (v. 11).
2. He nourished them (v. 12). Since
there was no bread in all the land to
be obtained except a if dispensed by
Joseph, he distributed to them ac-
cording, to their needs. Our Joseph,
Jesus Christ, supplies ail our needs ac-
cording to his riches in glory.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL
Improve Palatability of
Roughage for Dairy Cows
The farmer who has much low-grade
and unpalatable roughage which he
must feed may find in molasses a
means of greatly Improving the ration
for ills live stock. It has been found
when roughage is moistened with di-
luted molasses animals greenly con-
sume It.
Ordinarily cane molasses contains
about 65 per cent sugar, 3.2 per cent
protein, 6.1 per cent mineral matter
and 25.7 per cent water. Being low in
protein, it 'should be used in place of
corn or similar feeds. It seems to
have practically the same feeding
value pound for pound as corn, where
it replaces a part of the corn in the
ration, in spite of the fact that it
contains more water.
This is probably because cane mo-
lasses has characteristics lacking in
corn. It is even more palatable and
more digestible than corn. In addi-
tion, It is slightly laxative and is fre-
quently used as an appetizer and con-
ditioner. Like linseed oil meal, it has
the power of putting the sleek, glossy
coats upon animals which are a sure
indication of good health and vigor.
Cane molasses can be fed to all
classes of farm live stock except young
calves. With them it causes scouring.
Its best use, however, Is for animals
adapted to eating roughage, especial-
ly cattle and horses.
For these animals, the molasses may
be diluted in proportion of one part
by weight of molasses to three parts
of water and then sprinkled over the
roughagq, or silage. Corn fodder
should, however, be chopped first.
Feeders avoid the chief difficulty in
using molasses by feeding it in this
manner. When given undiluted, the
thick, sticky nature of the molasses
causes practical difficulties.
No benefit will be obtained from
feeding molasses to cattle or horses
unless each receives from one pint to
one quart, or from one and one:half
pounds to three pounds a day. A larg-
er amount can be fed, but usually not
more than five or six pounds should
be given; otherwise it loses its superi-
ority ever corn as a feed.
Year.
The American people produced
.more, spent more and saved more in
1923 than in 1922, the federal reserve
board reports in its annual review of
economic conditions for the year. A3
a whole, the review said, the year was
characterized by the large industrial
output, practically full employment, a
sustained customers’ demand for goods
and a level of prices more stable than
in any year since 1915.
FOREIGN NEWS.
The 10-hour day shortly will be in-
troduced in the Krupp works in Ger-
many, according to the French au-
thorities at Duesseldorf and the Ger-
man workers in Duisburg are likely to
accept the longer hours as they are
becoming impoverished. The metal
workers' unions, however, are renew-
ing their campaign for eight-hour day.
Dairy Cows Need Water
in Sufficient Quantity,
The failure to supply cows with
plenty of water is responsible for many
a poor milk yield. Milk is largely
■W1, Aq) j ,-lll.fehejyieasantries
that have centered about the dairy-
man's pump. A cow must have water
In sufficient quantity to produce milk
just as a steam engine must have wa-
ter with which to make steam. It is
shortsighted dairy economy which
skimps on one of the least expensive
of the many essentials that contribute
to the making of milk through proc-
esses that center in the bovine an-
atomy. A western dairyman, whose
pump got out of order, was unable to
supply drinking water in the stanchion
cups in the stable for about a week.
Milk production from his herd fell off
3,700 pounds, representing a loss of
over $100. Another dairyman, whose
equipment did not include stanchion
cups, tried the experiment of giving
his cows an extra drink of water while
they were in the barn. In five days
his cows were making six cans of milk
daily instead of five. The extra la-
bor was well spent and showed a hand-
some profit.
High producing cows in particular
need a great deal of water. Experi-
ments have shown that for each 100
pounds of milk produced some cows
will consume from twice to almost
three times this weight of water.
Fire Hits Film Company.
Los Angeles, Cal.—Fire which start-
ed Friday on the property of the Uni-
versal Film Company at Universal
City, near Los Angeles, destroyed the
west stage, including the Von Stroheim
set, causing a damage estimated af
$200,000.
JEFFERSON HIGHWAY BODY
WILL ASSEMBLE JANUARY 23
New Orleans, La.—Members of the
Jefferson Highway Association, organ-
ized in New Orleans nine years ago
to promote a highway from Winnipeg,
Manitoba, to New Orleans, will gather
in New Orleans January 23-25 in an-
nual convention to celebrate comple-
tion of the thoroughfare, in Louisiana.
Louisiana will be the first state to
complete its qvjota. The Louisiana
link extends frdm New Orleans to a
point west of Shreveport, a distance
ef 424 miles. \
Filling Silo in Winter
Is Profitable Practice
The best way to get full value out
of corn fodder and. at the same time
utilize to the fullest extent the ca-
pacity of a small silo is to refill with
cut corn fodder during winter as often
as the silo is empty. The dairy de-
partment of the Iowa State college
has found that, while this kind of
silage is not as good feed as real
silage it is so much better than com-
mon corn fodder that the expense and
trouble of filling is paid for many
times. (
Run the dry cornstalks through the
silage cutter, blow it into the silo
along -with a ton of water for each
ton of the cut fodder, and pack it
some. A fermentation and softening
of blade and stalk occurs, and when
the feed comes out it is eaten almost
as completely as ordinary silage, oth-
erwise stock will not eat half the dry
fodder, and the manure full of long
stalks is hard to handle. Be sure to
use plenty of water. Remember that
tl>e fodder is dry and the stalks lack
the juice that goes into the silo when
corn Is cut green.
To Secure Maximum Milk
Production Give Water
To secure the maximum milk pro-
duction, cowrs must have plenty of
fresh water. and salt, according to A.
C. Ragsdale, of the Missouri College
of Agriculture. Cows in milk require
ten to twelve gallons of water dally,
while high producing cows will drink
even more. When cows are receiving
succulent feeds, they will naturally
drink less water than those on dry
food exclusively
Playing Your
Part in Your
Community
What will your community be ten, fifteen
or twenty years from now? Will it be more
prosperous, more beautiful — a more desir-
able place to live and work in than today?
It will, if you play your part.
Look around you. Somewhere you have
seen the magic of concrete roads—the
tonic effect of concrete streets. Have seen
business improved through buildings made
firesafe, sanitary and permanent with con-
crete. Have seen the greater sense of security
and pride that comes from concrete schools,
churches, theaters and homes.
If you are boosting for similar advantages
in your own community—your home town
—you are truly playing your part.
