Dear sisters, our first duty Is in oui
homes, those of us that have families,
have great responsibility resting up
on us: whoscould measure the height
and depth of them, but 1t is true q
mother can do all in her power to make
home happy, yet it Is not complete
without the cooperation of the father
We w. c. Il. L. workers do urge our
sisters to make home sweet home for
husband and children; give the boys
and girls some work to do at home so
they will get home training and not
street training. Sisters let your sweet
est and kindest words be heard ut home
and not save them all for your neigh
bors to hear or some stranger that may
call at your door, We can all have the
most precious and best of all laws in
our homes to teach our children and
that is the Holy Bible. Read and love
it yourself and your children will get
interested and walk in wisdom's ways
and shun the very appearance of sin
and evil. VIII tender touching

at once at least a million temperance
documents throughout the state. In "A
recent official letter the President and
Secretary of the Alliance note the en-
enlargement of the opponents of the
prohibitOry law by the Nebraska de-
feat, and that they are planning conf.
IDENTIFY for its repeal by the next Legis-
lature. The Alliance has speakers in
the field, but it is declared that there
is such dearth OF information as to
the evils Of intemperancc, and such
dense ignorance as to the effect of pro-
hibitiOn, especially among our foreign.
born citizens, that it becomes absolutely
necessary to supplement- the work of
our speakers with plentiful supply of
temperance literature among the

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENTIFIC TEMPER
ANCE INSTRUCTION AND NARCOTICS.
The National Womans Christian
| Temperance Union at their annual
meeting in the city of Boston, i'll the
year of 1880, created the department
| for the introduction of Scientific Tenn
| perance instruction in schools and col
leges and made Mrs. Mary III. Hunt its
! superintendent. Cordial hearings were
granted her by popular and scholarly
audiences in different states as she un-
folded the plans of educating all class
es in childhood and youth to abhor
strong drink, by teaching them as a
regular branch of study in the schools
! from text books, graded from the COM
prehension of primary to the higher
| students, what alcohol is and what il
does to the living body of the drinker
as well as the character. People had
said before, the temperance reform
must begin with the children" This

! developed il became evident that other

teach what the law requires man."
Now if the law of the state only re-
! quired this about alcohol taught, we
could do il. p" and the law of the state
shall ere long require you" mentally re-

! ent. who began at once planning and
working to that end and in having
overcome seemingly insurmountable

of all one large school book publishing

to the scientifically truthful standard
which she had formulated and the W.

the endorsement and escape the opposi,
ton of the organization. We may have
some faint conception of her JOY which

sonal supervision, are placed upon the

! department which had been steadily re-
fused until they should give the re-
! quired teaching and be adopted to

volved in the revision and proof read

their study will tend to secure youth

her over the marvellous victories that
