"Black But Comely."
One of the most striking changea in form occurs in Solomon's "Song

An example of the need for a modern translation because of the changing diction Prof. Smith finds in Proverbs 31, 10; "Who can find n virtuous woman, for her price is far above rubies."
This was not intended as a re- flection on the chastity of the feminine population, he says, but meant "Oh that one might find a good wife." The "good" has re- ference to all the worthy qualities desired in the mistress of a house- hold..

The story of the birth of Christ jas told in the King James version Matthew I., verses 1 to 18, becomes "clarified" in the Chicago Bible to read:

Why He Brought Them.
Asked why he had brought the boys, to Court, the master replied that he had done so as they had ex- pressed a desire to see the Court- house.
The Magistrate remarked it was not a good thing to bring in boys when cases were going on, and; asked him to bring them when the Court was not sitting.

Always have GARDAN in the house!
In the tropics pain and illness are particularly liable to appear suddenly. In headache, toothache, neuralgia, rheu- matism, sciatica, lumbago, muscular pains, and above all in fever and its accompanying symptoms, GARDAN is of definite value.
