fraternity house. the opening one OF
which will OCCUR Monday evening. Her
subject will be "Human Beings" and
her name in connection with 1t Is
suff cient guarantee that it will TEEN
with interest and instruction. Mrs. Diaz,
who In the anti-slevery movement
ranked with Julia Ward Howe and Lucy
Stone is an idealist, but practical one.
She has u standard of excellence OF
achievement and of right which is her
ideal. Almost from her girlhood she has
spent her years striving with voice ana
pen to lift people to this ideal and to do
50 by logical and practical paths. She is
Puritan of the Puritans. Plymoutn
born and Plymouth reared, the Puritan
blood that fills her veins throbs Tor
liberty, for virtue, for high attainment
in thinking and doing. Her words OF
counsel for men and women are such as
real men and women need, and the ex-
press ion of her ideas goes straight from
the speaker to the nearer. Sunlight IN
the house, simplicity in dress and diet,
self respect instead of the worship soi
wealth and fashion, education OF women
in skilled labor are among the things
Mrs. Diaz advocates. "The social lumI
needs plenty of auoh leaven." In tne

will be called to some of our presen'
human conditions with view to thell
improvement by suggesting higher ldeals
and showing the human possibility o.
living them out. Ii will illustrate from
nature the thres grand laws OF the uni
verse. Life, individuality, oneness, ane

Divine Lnws. The educational RESPONSE

to tho individuals, and through the In
dividual to the state VIII be shown. Th'
whole to bring much of what is know
as nineteenth century thought as con
nected with human affairs.
Mrs. Dlaz has recently returned from I

list of suicides already recorded in This
city.
From the best evidence at hand the
denth of MT. Joseph d. Lane OF New

stepped across the track and was Knocked
over by the rear end of the engines

wheels of the tender passed over the
right leg of the men and mangleo snaV
limb in frigbtful manner. The leit Leg
was also somewhat crushed. Immediate
ly the engineer reversed his levers anu
stopped the engine, and the man was re-
moved from the track. In removing the
man from beneath the tender 1t was
necessary to remove portion OF tne iron
frame work which is connected with the
trucks.
Or. q. G. Hanson was called and was
at the scens of tho accident at 300
O'Clock, but the injured man had dled

But all are honest and sincere,
That is why any one can prove fo1
himself the genuineness of Puritana
cures.
Puritana patients get well.
This is fact.
There are reasons for it.
Puritana is the discovery Of Prof.

He wasthe greatest New Hampshire
physician of his day.
He was at the head of the Dart
mouth Medical College for genera
ton.
He used common sense, and found
that disease or health came to the
body through the stomach.
He scientifically compounded a
stomach medicine from the harmless
products of nature.
This is Puritana.
It makes the stomach right.
That is why it makes the health
right.
With a sound stomach no one can
help being well.
That is why Puritana patients get
well.
Chemists say that Puritanais a good
medicine.
They also say it is well made.
