BACK ACHY?
Lame and achy in the morning?
Tortured with backache all day Jong?
No wonder you feel worn out and dis-
couraged! But have you given any
thought to your kidneys? Weak kid-
neys cause just such troubles; and you
are likely to have headaches, too, with
dizziness, stabbing pains and bladder
irregularities. Don’t risk neglect. Use
Doan’s Pills. Doan’s have helped
thousands. They should help you. Ask
your neighbor!

lame and I had
no energy and
felt dull and lan-
guid. My kidneys
acted irregularly. I used Doan’s
Pills and they soon helped me by
relieving the backaches and restor-
ing my energy. I consider Doan’s
a good remedy.’’

Colds are merely congestion. Mus-

LEGION MEN O. K.
SCOUT MOVEMENT
A few months ago, leaders of the
American Legion in southern Califor-
nia despaired of being able to keep
membership in the Eagle Rock post
Interested. Today that post has been
completely revivified because of inter-
est in sponsorship of the boy scout
movement in the community.
The whole membership is now at
work outlining plans, teaching the
youngsters and doing actual scout duty
themselves because of this Interest.
The post has furnished three scout-
masters. The post sponsors all troops
In the community regardless of the
fact that it has troops of its own.
According to a servey made of posts
of the Legion, sponsorship of the boy
scout movement has been one of the
particular community activities. Re-
ports of nearly a thousand posts indi-
cated that in some way the Legion men
are at work in aid of this movement,
not to encourage militaristic tenden-
cies, but rather to make a hardier and
more self-reliant race.
In some posts, this movement is par-
ticularly a post affair, with certain
regulations imposed on the lads re-
garding membership in the sponsored
scout units. These require that the
boys be blood relatives of ex-service
men. Other posts have adopted a troop
of scouts or several troops in their
own cities and are carrying oh the
work through their organization. In
Toledo, O., because most of the posts
In the county council had supplied a
.high type of men for scoutmasters, the
leaders of the movement inaugurated
a school, and Legionnaires numbered
the principal portion of the class.
The recent “scout week,” coinciding
as it did with the drives, of most Le-
gion posts In interest of 1924 member-
ship, proved a great Incentive to the
6Cout movement. The former service
men In several communities through-
out the country, took It upon them-
selves to “sell” the scout idea at the
same .time that they talked for the
Legion and its membership. As a con-
sequence the scout movement In many
cities,-^TiWdarly ir Conn- ‘ ~
N ■*-•<------ vmaaiir Ur -tne Le-
have always contended that every
former soldier would find something to
interest him in the organization. To
some this has been the care of the
disabled; others In the reunion with
former comrades; to certain ones has
come a sense of realization of com-
munity spirit; and this is exeBiplified
in the case of the Eagle Rock post in
California and scores of others now
directing and sponsoring the scout
movement.
Disabled Men to Have
Wisconsin Summer Camp
A summer camp for disabled men in
Wisconsin will be opened by the Amer-
ican Legion in that state as a part of
the Legion’s service program. This
camp will be on state lands in the
northern section of the state, wherein
the boasts of the tourist books
“abounds the muskie and - the trout,
the bass and the pickerel.”
No attempt will be made to keep the
camp military, though the sanitation
will be carefully watched by experts.
Shacks constructed will provide hous-
ing facilities for a veteran and his
family and he is expected to prepare
his own meals. Only disabled men
will be accepted as guests, according
to the present plans. Many applica-
tions have been received at depart-
ment headquarters for allotment of
space.

Get After Loan Sharks
Usurious rates of interest charged
by “loan sharks” and sharp business
tactics used by such persons in Shreve-
port, La., has come to the attention of
the Lowe McFarlane post of the
American Legion. As a consequence
the Legion men have gone on record
favoring steps by the public for pro-
tective measures for persons unfa-
miliar with sound business practice.
A resolution was passed by the post
membership expressing the fear that
continuance of such evil will result
In sowing of the seeds of crime among
the victims of the usurers and that
these persons are enslaving men and
women, both white and black, in the
city. By the terms of the resolution
the Legion is pledged to abolishment
}f the evil.

Lesson for April 6
THE KINGDOM RENT ASUNDER'
LESSON TEXT—I Kings 12:1-33.
GOLDEN TEXT—"Pride goeth before
destruction, and an haughty spirit be-
fore a fall.”—Prov. 16:18.
PRIMARY TOPIC—The Story of 3.
Foolish King.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Rehoboam’s Folly.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP-
IC—The Division of the Kingdom.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—Why the Kingdom Was Divided.
The kingdom so gloriously adminis-
tered in David’s time reached its
climax in the time of Solomon. Solo-
mon was led astray through the influ-
ence of his heathen. wives, and the
kingdom had begun to wane. God had
expressed his indignation toward him
and made known the fact that the
kingdom was to be rent from him, yet
not in his time, but in the time of
Rehoboam (I Kings 11:9-13).
I. The Demand of the People (vv.
1-4).
This was occasioned by the burden
of excessive taxation and enforced la-
bor, which was required by Solomon
in order to build costly houses and
temples for his heathen wives. Owing
to the multiplicity of his wives, this
became very burdensome. They prom-
ised loyalty to him on the condition of
lightened burdens.
II. Rehoboam's Foolish Decision
(vv. 5-15).
1. Rehoboam Consulted With the
Old Men (vv. 5-7y. These were men
of experience who had been Solomon’s
advisers. They advised that the peo-
ple’s request be granted.
2. R^ioboam Consulted the Young
Men (vv. 8-11). These young men
had grown up with him, possibly were
his half-brothers, sons of Solomon’s
many wives. Being thus brought up in
the luxury of the harem, they were ig-
norant of the legal right of the people.
Therefore, they advised even that the
burdens be increased.
3. Rehoboam Followed the Advice
of the Young Men. (vv.' 12-15). At the
appointed time he announced his pur-
pose to the people. He even answered
them roughly, asserting his purpose to
increase their burdens and sorrows.
iri. i nc; i iv t vi * v. ...v , , | riOCS
(vv. 10-24).
Upon Rehoboam’s announcement of
his rash purpose, all Israel cried out,
“What portion 'haVe we in David?
... to your tents, O Israel.”
1. Rehoboam’s Attempt to Collect
Tribute (vv. 18, 19). Adoram, his
tribute gatherer, was stoned to death.
So violent was the opposition on the
part of the people that Rehoboam had
to flee to Jerusalem to save his life.
2. Jeroboam Made King Over Israel
(v. 20). They seemed to have lost no
time in selecting a head so as to be
strong in their opposition to Relio-
boam.
3. Rehoboam’s Attempt to Compel
the Ten Tribes to Return to David
(vv. 21-24). To effect this, he assem-
bled his army 6f 180,000 men. Through
the prophecy of Shemaiah, which for-
bade them to go against their brethren
they were persuaded to return.
IV. Jeroboam's Scheme to Unify the
Ten Tribes (vv. 25-33).
1. He Established Calf Worship (vv.
25-30). His pretext for this worship
was his fear lest the religious unity
should heal the political separation.
His fear was that the people would
go back to Jerusalem to worship and
therefore would gradually be led to
acknowledge allegiance to Rehoboam
and his'own life would be taken. He
was too shrewd a politician to do
away with religion. He knew that
religion was a powerful factor in
man's life! The prevailing religion
of the world today is a political one.
It is used as a sort of cement to hold
together people and political interests.
2. His Scheme of Worship (vv.
31-33).
(1) He built houses and high places
(v. 31). This was against the direct
command of Qod. God had directed
His people to destroy the high places,
to break down the idolatrous centers.
(2) He made priests of the lowest
of the people (v. 31). God had set
aside the tribe of Levi to fill the office
of priesthood. In this again he dis-
obeyed God.
(3) He changed the day of the Feast
of the Tabernacle ,(v. 32). The time
of this feast was set by the -Lord
(Lev. 23:33, 34). Jeroboam argued
that the change in the time would be
better suited to their northern climate,
blit God who made the climate or-
dained the time of the feast. It was
his business, therefore, to obey God.
(4) Jeroboam himself intrudes into
the priest’s office. This act of pre-
sumption on his part was the climax
of his godless ffets, which all grew
out of his wicked heart.
