Several persons have asked to
help in supplying camps with read
ing. 1t has not seemed an easy task
to arrange a plan to accommodate
all. [ have, therefore, thought
best that those whose names begin
with any letter from ''A'' to 81"
it would be easiest to send to David
Wright, Usage, Mimi, for camp
No. 3; and those whose names begin
with any letter from II" to 60"
would be sent to Jas. McGrath,
Finlayson, MIMI, where four
hundred men are employed in
eight camps. Any others willing
to help will please send to Jas.
McGrath, at Willow River, Mimi,
where five hundred men are work
ing in ten camps.
Several large packages have been
sent to me of very choice literature,
and l thank the donors in behalf of
the men.
The directions given above are
for those who wish to send in small
quantities by mail. All to be sent
by express 1 will cheerfully for
ward. /
Any person sending will kindly
drop me card, that I may have
the item for the State report in
April.
The unions in the State are sup
plying more than one hundred
amps.
Hamline union sends two bar
rels this week, beside papers fresh
from the press.
Many churches, societies and
lodges are helping.
John G.. Wooley, who is travel
ing in Australia, in referring to the
work of Mrs. Leavett, the first
world missionary sent out by the
w. G. T. u, says: II have no
reason to question it, but am won
dering if our home W. G. T. U.
is doing honor enough to to the
devoted life that has left such a
wonderful impression here?''
Mr.. Wooley asserts that the hos
pitality of Australians is unbound
ed. Instead of the social glass, he
writes: ''From the cradle to the
grave, on land or sea, everything
goes by tea power. 1t is the social
lubricant, the literary astringent,
the flux Of politics, the fxature Of
art, the household tonic and stimu-
liant, the prophylactic and antidote:
Afternoon Tea at five o'clock is
as much a fixture as church service,
and better attended. The socia-
bility of it is delightful, but we
balk at the tea"
By urgent invitation, Mr.. Wooley
has consented to give a series of
addresses in England. It is said
he has many ardent admirers. in
that country, and his anti-liquor
crusade of nine years ago is we'll
remembered. Such men as Sir
Henry Campbell Bannerman, the
Rt. Hon. Herbert H. Asquith, Sir
VIM. Vernon Harcourt and the
Rt. Hon. John Morley, have re-.
Gently assumed strong position in
favor of temperance legislation.
Mr.. Asquith declares that the most
discreditable feature of Great Brit
aims legislative history during the
last thirty years, was the absence
Of a single measure of frst-class
Importance for the promotion of
sobriety.
Thinking people in all lands are
being convinced that the cause of
strong drink is hinderance to the
gospel. France has become aroused
in regard to rate of birth and death
in that country. You will remem-
Der the decision of some of the
noted doctors in regard to the free
use Of wine being one of the great
est causes why the birth-rate had
fallen slightly below the death-rate.
DR.. Merachale attributes the
cause to high heels and corsets,
and has introduced bill into the
Chamber of Deputies which pro-
vides, under penalty of both fine
and imprisonment, the wearing of
any kind of corset by women under
thirty years of age.
We shall now be entertained by
music from the old ''saw'' entitled
prohibition does not prohibit.
