Along with many good points made IN

alry among men, she said the most

rage.
The second topic was Loyal Tempor-
apc Legion aud its Relation to Prohi-
hilton" which was the title of q paper
pFepared and read by Mrs, w. J, ham
ilton, OF Wheeling. Mrs, Hamilton
urged the importance Of education on
this natter beginning as soon as emil

eficiency OF this line oil temperance
work in the Wheeling union aud else

rived Mrs. Topp Of Wheeling, led in
