CHICAGO. ILL, Nov. 27.-The following
statement has just been issued by the gen.
eral officers of the World Women's Chris
tian TEN perance Union:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE WORLDS WoMEN'sl
CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE,
THE TEMPLE, CHICAGO. Ill, Nov. IS, 1860
To my Comrades and to All Who Loue and Trust
me: From the first you have helped the hunted
Armenians by your prayers, your sympathy
and your honest, hard work. Thousands of
them are to-day in comfort or in safety because
of the intelligence and devo ton with which
you have wrought for our Christian brothers
and sisters and the little children on the bleak
and dangerous hillsides, and in those valleys
SIN itten by outrage and murder.
1t is a blessed fact that patient continuance
in well DOING is the foremost quality in a
white ribboner, for we must do our first works
over again, land more also" Hereafter the
Armenians can never feel a sense of safety
at least not in our time. The more forceful
among them are determined to risk all in the
effort to reach freedom, and while 1t is not
for US to strengthen this purpose on their
part, we must hold ourselves in readiness to
help the refugees who are constantly escap-
ing from the dominion of the Turks. But we
must not let this work cause us to cease send
ing help to the shelterless and starving who
remain in that hapless country.
We must give money TO establish industrial
homes and orphanages for the women and
children, but it must be apparent to all that
If we can help to find homes and work for the
starving refugees we have al the same time
helped to set the Armenian people on their
feet and to put new hope in their hearts for
the future. The sorrowful and outraged
women can do little for their nation The
vigorous and forceful families and youth who
have the energy and skill to save themselves
alive by making their escapes are full of
promise for the years to come. They are de-
voted 10 the inter ests of their country and de-
termined to live rather than die for her.
Thousands of them are penniless to-day in
Bulgaria, Alexandria, Marseilles and all along
the border OF the accursed Turkish EN- pire.
1t is the purpose of the leaders you have
chosen and who believe they are but carrying
forward your wishes into deeds to establish a
home for refugees at some strategic point
possibly in Bulgaria. which shall belong to tn e
Worlds w. c. I. u, and shall testify to the
loyalty and tenderness of our society toward
those who most needed our help at time
when the heart of the whole world was
stirred by theirunut terable misery
May not in closing, urge upon all good peo-
pie the significance of making Christmas offer
ings this year at least for the most part to the
Armenians who are starving in their own
country, as a refuge for Armenians who
have escaped, sending in either case to Mrs
Helen M. Baker, treasurer of the National w
c. 7. o., the Temple, Chicago. In this PRAYER
and hope, am yours for the deliyerance of
Gods most loyal people, Frances E. Willard.

Wv DIMOkD'S

Some time ago there was an
item going the rounds of the
press in the United States to
the effect that young lady,
who was ill, wanted to secure
one million postage stamps, to
give physician who had pro-
missed to cure her on receipt of
them. The girl who did that
was a man, and he was deluged
with stamps; then he came to
Hawaii and he is here yet.
While he was collecting postage
stamps, little Dolly Washburn
was on another lay. She want
ed to save her poor dear mother
all the time she could around
baking days, so she invented an
egg separator, which takes the
yolk from the white with the
greatest ease. The separator
sells for so cents and Dolly has
already made enough out of it
to employ a good cook and live
in New York.
In this country most servants
light fires with the assistance of
kerosene. Those who live
through it get along all right,
but they waste lots of oil. We
have q continuance whereby oil
may be saved and all danger of
explosion may be averted. The
price is little.
Mr.. Paxton must have been
a man who hung around the
kitchen a good deal, for he has
given to the world combina-
ton dipper, strainer and funnel,
that is about a cute as anything
ever seen in the kitchen. You
can strain soups, milk and other
things or you can have a dipper
or funnel combined, for a
quarter.
