because the latter Is now an essential part
of the former and not a different thing.
Nor ought we to think that the home de-
pertment is only for enfeebled persons. AS
a matter Of fact, the majority Of its MEM
bers are perfectly we'll and strong persons.
Its membership includes travelling men.

are not able to attend the regular Sunday
school services on account of their hours
of work"
He dwelt further upon the Importance OF
the department In general, and spoke of its
particular help to ministers In their woIx
among their congregations. In closing ne
expressed the wish that 1t would never be
discontinued. but, on the contrary, attain
far greater Importance than it now pos
sesses.
The session was discontinued at five min

District Primary Union.
The work Of the convention yesterday was
chiefly a conferences on the labors of the
District Primary Union. Mrs. Weston
Flint. president Of the organization, pre-
sided over the meeting. The opening adj
dress was delivered bygD. w Montgomery.
He dwelt upon the necessity Of the teachers
in the Sunday schools infusing enthusiasm
into their work. Mrs. Wilbur e. Crafts,
who has been Identified with this branch of
Sunday school work for many years, spoke
on Problems of Primary Work"
She said in part:
1.-THE last century shows that there were
in the United States in 1900 nearly 5000 600
children between the ages Of three and
six years, and 1t Is. of course, necessary
that they be provided for In the primary
departments OF our Sunday schools. A
child of three years of age is capable of
understanding the beauties Of religion. and
we must not underestimate their ability. l
believe that q child OF that age can under
stand the atonement and be made to feel
that Christ died that we might live"

thorough training system for teachers, in

BEGIN AGAIN.
Was Discharged from tho
IncbRiate Asylum.

Everyone in Oakdale knew when Tom
Sands was sent to an inebriate asylum.
His mother was born in the village,
and, although she now lived, and had
for many years lived, in New
York city, all the village people were
interested in her and her family.
When Tom was discharged, cured, he
went up to his grandfather's farm in
Oakdale, and all the village made ready
to help him and give him good advice.
The old ladies shook hands with him
silently, shaking their heads as over
q dead body; the old men spoke many
plain words of warning.
"To think of your going down that
low, Thomas! At your age!"
Had you no thought of your mother?
I hear her hairs turned white in these
last two years."
These were some of the greetings
which he received, and his Old friends
who said nothing followed him with
meaning glances as a criminal con-
demned to death.
The old doctor gave a dinner for Tom
Sands, to which the foremost men in
the county were asked. He knew that
the young fellow had made a hobby
of geology, and asked him to give them
his views on the chances OF finding oil
or natural gas on their farms. Tom
was interested and talked we'll; tho
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1903-07-02

mn listened respectfully. They were
cordial and friendly. After they were
gone the doctor and Tom discussed the
chances if Tom should take up the oil
business, showing him that he expect
ed him to make a success with his
knowledge and shrewdness.
"You forget one thing" the young
man said, bitterly, ",that I am just out
of an asylum for drunkards. You have
not reminded me of it once"
"Why should I remind you of it?"
said the doctor, earnestly. "EVhy
should you remind yourself of it?
When a man, with Gods hep, has
strangled a vice, is he to sit b~rooding
over the foul thing for the rest of his
life? Carry it about with him as a
criminal used to- do, chained to the
dead body he had killed? No; forget
it. Tom. Waken the other man that
is III you, strong, clean, helpful. Leave
the old sin to Gods mercy, and begin
again, boy-be gin again"

counsel as much as Tom Sapds.-

Light frOna Bacteria.
The use of photogenic bacteria in
a miners safety lamp is new, but
the existence of light-giving bacteria
has been known for years. Those
used in the lamp may be produced
by keeping the flesh of fresh herring
or paddock in a three per cent. solu-
ton of table salt at a temperature
a little above freezing point. In a
few days the whole mass will give
off a greenish light, which may be

Stlrkwea'he Times: The
Hope Pioneer thinks the other
papers Of the state are not on to
the law as to foreign fake hail
insurance companies, and quotes
a law passed by the last legisla-
ture to show that no foreign
mutual company has a right to
do business in this state. The
Pioneer would be correct If the
legislature had not passed a law
four days later that knocked the
law quoted into smlthereens.
The last law passed allows a
foreign mutual company to Go
business upon depositing s25,0 oo

ont they will save the farmers

DIET FOR NERVOUS WOMEN.
simple Foods and Plenty of Milk and
Water Recommended for
the Disorder.

The entire milk diet is an excellent
thing for the woman who is troubled
with insomnia. It is also good for the
one who is SO nervous that when she
does sleep she has the sensation of fall
ing and wakes with a terrific start.
When these conditions exist it is well
to subsist on milk alone for quite a
period, advises the Washington Star.
A grown woman should take a pint
OF milk at a meal, but to keep up her
strength she should take four meals a
day instead Of the usual three. Peo-
pie with weakened nerves require a
larger quantity of water than those
whose nerves and brains are strong.
Water aids the digestion OF food By
making it soluble, and seems to have
a direct tonic effect.
Fish Of all kinds is an excellent food
for women who are suffering from
nerves, while. as a rule, salt meats
should he avoided. Good bread, sweet
butter and lean meat are the best food
for the nervous. Eggs may be spar
ingly partaken of, but they should be
thoroughly well cooked. The common
opinion that raw or u%nderdone eggs are
good for weak or ill people is an er.
roneous one.

NO MORE OLD M
h'cssiaakers Do Not Now Advertise
fashionable Apparel for
Elderly Patrons,

There are no old women to-day in
ne wide world of fashion, says a fash
ion authority.
Not many years ago dressmakers de-
signed special dresses for women who
mad passed the sunny side Of life. There
were caps for old women and wraps and
bonnets and shoes for them. Every
body called them grandma" and their
greatest pleasure was in sitting by the
t1reslde and telling Of the good old days.
Now all his has changed. If to-day
you should seek to draw a distinction
betWeen the dresses of your grandmoth-
er and your mother you would find 1t
an exceedingly difficult matter, for in
the fashionable dressmaking establish
ments of the city no rules of age pre-
vail.
In the SWEETEST of the dressmakers'
shops the other day three women were
selecting and ordering their dresses
for the fall and winter. The eldest
of the trio was probably 65, the second
~ and the youngest 20. The choice of
goods they made was practically the
t ~" II PSoolblS SASSPlloh IloI
the eldest woman selected colors a
trif1e more subdued than the other two.
But this difference was so slight as
scarcely to be marked. The women
were grandmother, mother and daugh-
Ter, but one fashion plate answered for
all.
NO smart maker of women's cloth

fishing a style for elderly women" said
the head of the establishment to a re-
porter. W dc not recognize the fact
that there are old women, but we seek
TO regulate The colors Of dresses &C.
cording to the appropriateness of age.
1t would not do to tell an elderly
that a certain color was 90 bright for
her, but We have ways of quietly maxi
Ing suggestions.
Except in the colorings there Is prac-
tically no difference between the dress
o. a woman of 70 and one Of 80 or 10.
Inc street dresses of the old women
are cut with the same sleeve and the
same flow of skirts as the dresses Of
their daughters. The same may be
SAID or ballroom costumes, with, per-
haps. the exception that the dresses OF
the older ladies are not cut quite so
decollete."
The same thing applies in other artt-
cles OF apparel for women. The fash
ionable ~shoemakers for women say the
Old women order the same kind of shoes
as the younger.
The high heels to wcmen's shoes will
prevail this season." said a shoemaker
THAT seems to be a popular fad that
VIII not be ~relinquished soon. The old
women of fashion are as anxious to wear
them as their daughters. Women OF 70
come in here and order the one and
t~hree-quarter incl heel, and some go
even farther thai, Ms. Age makes no
adherence in the shoes of women"
But there Is one place where the line
Is slightly drawn. That is in the mil
l1nery store. A woman of 70 can scarce
~ wear a picture hat two feet in diam
eter. She will not, however, wear a
bonnet. That seems too old-womanish,
SO she does the next best thing-she
a toque. OF course, hat really
Is a bonnet, but it doesn't sound like
one, n then, besides, it is also worn
by young women. So, after all, ever in
wearing the toque the grandmammas
40 not differ from their daughters.
