the Methodist church than in any,
thing else. He would do to tie to, then.
But his real downfall is to be dated
from the time that he quit the Y. M.
q. A. and learned to dance and play
poker. He did everything we'll, by
the way. He was a strong and useful
force in the church, and he learned
to play n of the smoothest poker
games that anybody ever went up
against.
"Any man who learns to be me of
the boys after he is twenty-five years
old will bear watching. The world
places faith in the worst sort of a
dlssipated man who reforms, but no
body can afford to have confidence in
a man who has been good through
his youth and deliberately learns the
way of naughtiness after he is the
full measure of a man and the head
of a family. Dewey's embezzlement,
or degeneration in a financial way,
practically began about the time he
learned to waltz.

THESE ARE BETTER THAN MEDICINE
People everywhere when not feeling
we'll should surround themselves with
better sanitary and hygienic condi-
+ions. with comforts such as are now
within reach of all, cool water, pure
water and screens, less meat, more
we'll cooked and wholesome vege-
tables, a season of rest every year,
come what may; less whiskey, more
sleep. fewer crimes against the home,
purer lives, less work and more play,
and and absolute rejection of the
strenuous life.
Twenty-seven years of active prac-
tice has convinced me hal if l had
only written prescriptions for those
who really need medicine, and for
whom medicine unaided could really
have been curative, they could have
not been one-tenth of one per cent
of the total. Medicines can ease pain,
cause sleep and control the great
emunctories. Beyond that they are
impotent and harmful, substituting
an artificial make-shift for a normal
physiological condition.

be glad to discuss the diseases and

The Presidents Letter.

4u0 1I6S4uSuI D ASICGIs
Sunshine, either literal or fgura-
tive, is one of the most beneficial
things in the world. The light of
sunshine puts strength into all grow
ing things and the sunshine of good
cheer puts courage and happiness and
love into peoples hearts.
Possibly one of the best things
about the Sunshine Society is that is
is not a charitable organization. It's
guiding thought is to make people
happy. It's spirit is that of giving in
such a way as to create a desire to
give in turn, whenever there is an
opportunity. 1t seems to have no
boundary lines and to be as wide
spread in it's effects as the sunlight
itself.
Now isn't it lovely that we are 60
ing to have a Sunshine column in
Progressive Farmer? It simply
proves their right to their name. It
shows that they really are "progres-
sive," and shows also that they are
not simply interested in how to get
the most and best out of the soil, how
to organize so that the tillers of the
soil may make the best of their adj
vantages, but that The Progressive
Farmer is interested in each and
every one of it's readers individually.
That they want us, farmers wives, not
only to know how to be good cooks,
good butter makers, good egg col
Iectors, but they want us also to be
happy.
You know the old recipe for hap
piness was to try and make others so.
Well, it can't have that effect and be
all one sided, but if all of US will try
and "pass it on" it can't fail to strike
each n of us some time, can it?
Who will join us? You promise, if
you can, to do one kind act within a
month of the time you give your
name. There are no money fees or
dues. This is all, you just "pass on"
all "good cheer. you can. Isn't it
lovely?
Now I had a letter this week from
Mrs. A. W., of Mitchell County, a
dear Sunshiner, who is always bring
ing happiness to all she car. Her
mother died nine years ago. Since
then she has been a "shut in" never
having known a we'll day in all that
time. Husband, children, all gone
before, her last sister passing over"
last January. She lives on a seven
hundred acre farm and alone, except
ing for the tenant people who work
the farm on shares and a woman who
takes personal care of her. Yet she
writes beautiful, CHEEKY letters. I
wish you could read the one she wrote
me, writing it propped up in bed.

laid her to rest.
Among other good things in her
letter she enclosed me a four leaf

wrote about it:
THE FOUR LEAvED GLOVER.
II know a place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst like
And down underneath is the loveliest
nook
Where the four-leaved clovers
grow.
Zone leaf is for hope, and one for
faith,
And n is for love, you know,
And God put in another for luck;
If you search you will find where
they grow.
"But you must have hope and you
must have faith,
You must love and be strong: and
so,
If you work, if you wait, you will
find the place
Where the four-leaved clovers
grow"

any of our farmers wives or daugh-
tiers who would like to write her a
good, CHEEKY, sisterly letter, and thus
lessen her loneliness.

daughter to join our Progressive

Also there has been some quilt
pieces donated that We don't know
just where to place. We would rath-

there is some one you know of who
needs these patches, we would like
them to have them.
