For the Relief Of the Wooamen

There are now before the legisla-
ture certain acts which it is believed
will be enacted into law the coming
week. which will give to the order
Of Modern Woodmen the privilege
under the Law Of bringing the head
offices Of the order to this CITY, de-
spite any obstacle that Fulton can
raise. Fulton people, who RELY upon
technicality in the absence Of merit
to keep the head Offices, and have no
more pride than to seek to keep the
order there against its wishes, have
been at Springfield attem pting to
oppose the proposed Legislation. but
they will probably fail. The state
that would refuse to extend to .
great order the relief that It prays
for IL unworthy of the name Of
seeking to provide . means of gov
eminent for the people. Unjust laws
that permit one little community to
defeat the will of . great order rep
resented in many states, should in
deed be stricken from the statute
books. ~ they will b in Illinois.

TO their patients that in the future they
will spend every Monday at the Douglass
House, Houghton, same as heretofore,
while on Thursdays they will be at the
Butterfield House, Lake Linden. This
they heve decided to do through the
numerous requests which they received
from their patients at Lake Linden and
vicinity, who wish to doctor with them
without being obliged to go to Calumet
to do so.
Since opening their branch Office in the
copper country, the doctors have been
doing a large and successful practice,
When they located at Calumet, they
stated most emphatically that they had
come to stay and they haye redeemed
their promise, to the entire satisfaction
OF the people OF this county.
Their reputation as specialists had
preceded them which accounts for their
success from the start.
Anyone suffering with any chronic, pri
vate, nervous. delicate, blood, skin, kid
ney, liver, bladder, stomach, female or
rectal trouble can consult these spec
ialists free OF charge.
Remember. they will be at the Doug
lass House, Houghton. every Monday

Here once more is the end OF an old
year and the beginning OF the new and
though / am tar from approving New
Years resolutions, can quite under
stand how they seem to help those who
do not yet regard every day as equally
sacred against waste. Now do many OF
US, like the boy who is puzzled ia arith-
metic, wipe our states clean and start
again? Admittedly the problem still re-
mains TO be solved, but the very idea OF
a clean slate helps the mind by taking
out OF sight the confusing figures that
misled. Our problem, however. is more
difficult than that OF any boy; it lie to
take one short life, so divide it that re-
cults shall be multiplied, and nothing
be left over save goodness. The terms
are confusing enough, particularly when
each one must cipher out the matter for
himself. Alasl what a sorry lot OF
scrawlIngs some OF US have made. We
have taken life as our dividend, irresoIu-
ton "a our divisor, and the quotient is
nothing and much over in the form OF
frazzled, wasted hours.

1t seems strange that Time should ever
be represented as an infirm old man.
Rather he is youth, sprightly and hur-
rying beyond all imaginings, Time
never grows old. When childish plans are
as many as our minutes and our whims
innumerable then he does indeed lag a
little and our violent hands come near
numbering him sometimes; but as soon
as we get definite purposes In life, the
rascal takes to his heels. and eager
though we may be TO catch up with him,
we never more see anything bit his twink
ling feet in the distance. And at last as
our steps begin TO drag and falter. he
circles round and round so fast that we
are sick with dizziness and long for rest.
Old Father Time, forsoothl Those who
call him old know not that Time is ever
young. What we call the olSen days
we're tho new days to those who lived in
them; and our day is in advance Of
theirs. and theirs was in advance Of
those who preceded them, for progress in
some form has been the order since the
beginning. All who pine with back ward
looking eyes miss the present; for each
new moment is "a bright as any that
have g one before 1t is full of new OPP
pDrtunities, struggles, disappointments,
triunpbs, A charm fingers around the
new; new chances have not been spoiled,
new toys have not been broken. new
kno Wedge has not become trite, new
hopes are still full of buoyancy.
