The trouble in Minnesota wOrlan's
auxiliary board has been settled by the
action Of the state board in declaring
that Mrs. Hunts election as both scare
tary and installing officer was invalid
because Mrs. Winston acted as alisr-
nate for Mrs. Clarke when she was not
duly qualified as such. Mrs. Winstons

trouble originated largely from the fact
that the principals We're often absent

such occasions acted. When the princi-
pals afterwards met they were tg-
norant of what the alternates had done
at other meetings. and might 50 over
the same ground. There has also been
considerable feeling between Mrs.
Greenlcaf of Minneapolis, vice presi-

The Minneapolis contingent have been

feeling now that the matter is settled

The threat is freely nSde that the

Tobacco consists of the leaves and
stalk of plant charged with an aroma
purifying, sustaining, eXhilaratlng anu
fragrant to the human being. says the
Genttleman's Magazine. Like the
aroma Of rose, this aroma should be
inhaled in the form Of cool vapor by
the human nose. The chewer, like the
cab horse, eats the leaves and stalk.
He uses the tobacco at the right tenn
perature, and puts it into the right
place, but converts it into wrong
form. The cigar smoker gets the to-
bacco into the right form, but puts 1t
wrong temperature into wrong
place. The cigarette smoker blends
the filthy rags and other materials out
of which paper is made with the to-
bacco. The pipe smoker puts his to-
bacco into a receptacle which is used
for an indefinite time, is very difficult
to clean, and tends to produce cancer
of the tongue and lips. Moreover, in
all forms of smoking the tobacco be-
breath. This seems to be almost poi
sOnous. It is this which causes the low
er half of a smoked cigar, if left on a
table for Il few hours, to become in
describably rank. 1t is this which
makes the smoke of tobacco in foul
pipe noXious, and the smoke Of tobacco
not pressed down to the bottom of a
clean bowl nauseous. even to the
smoker himself Nature protests
against this abuse Of her bounty. She

weakels the cigar smokers heart and
sometimes threatens him with paraly-

A Very Serious Trouble.

The beautiful young matron bowed
her head in her soft white hands, and
wept until it seemed to the good old
pastor that her fragile frame would be
disintegrated by the violence of her
sobs. He smoothed back the dis
hevelled hair from her throbbing brow,
and, being but man., smashed ths
roses on her hat in so doing.
DO endeavor to calm yourself and
tell me what this grief is. Let me try
to help you"
The young matron sobbed still. but
managed to utter: "Oh, what am SO
punished? Oh, what have done that
this grief should be brought upon me?
And have been so happy"
But. dear sister, tell me what ia n
that troubles you SOP"
The young matron turned a fearful
gaze towards her good old pastors
face. and read therein a world of SYM
pathy. At last she controlled the Vic.
1ence of her feelings enough to speak.
"Oh-oh-oh," she sobbed, "Fido Is

And again her stricken heart found
relief In tears. -
