business meeting and all present
realized the amount of work done,
consisting of reports, obligating of
officers and ititlatory ceremonies. 90
After short recess the Worthy
Lecturer called for music from the
Grange orchestra. The question OF
debate was brought mp and plans
for same will be made as soon as the
rush of Grange work Is disposed or.
Brother Clint Green furnishes the
literary work for the next meeting,
which will consist Of a Graphophone
entertainment. All come and assist
in the necessary business of this
meeting as second and third degree
will be conferred on all candidates
who are now entering in the present

Monday March I was the date set
for Grange conference to be held in
the hall, State Deputy WE Taylor
was present to conduct this meeting,
it was called To order at 1870 q. m.
and with good attendance. Bro
Taylor could see he was welcomed by
many enthusiastic workers.
All joined in singing America after
which Mr. Taylor conducted the
morning session witha general re-
view of the unwritten work Grange
closed for the usual feast at noon,
and about 50 enjoyed the spread.
F. Worthy Master called afternoon
session to order and announced the
remainder of the day would be given
to the Lecture hour. The choir gave
an opening song and this was follow
ed by solo by Mrs, Green. Mrs.
Alice Mason recited one of Will Car

idea of many of The District School

responding by singing you Can I

Mrs. Mark Brown gave a reading,
which was followed by a solo by
Eleanor Emmons. Lula jerks rend-
cred an instrumental selection and
Allie S'ayton sang Once Upon Time.
Brother Taylor concluded the Lee
ture hour with a fine address, it was
founded on Grange work and prin-
ciples and was certainly worthy of
reaching every home in our rural dis
tricts, its grand sentiments are posi-
lively going to reach many fresides
at least. We can but hope that its
influence will be shown in many flu
ture generations yet to come. Only
those who were fortunate enough to
be in attendance can estimate the
value, words Of such nature, can do
to make a home. the ideal home.
At the close of the address Mr..

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence Of climatic conditions
in the cure OF consumption is very
much overdrawn, The poor patient,
and the rich patient, too, can do much
betteJ at home by proper attention TO
food digestion, and regular use OF
German Syrup, 80 is good nights rest
and the absence OF that weakening
cough and facilitating night sweat
Restless nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger and
dread of the consumptiv9, can be pre-
vented or stopped by taking German
Syrup literally and regularly. Should
you be able TO get to a warmer cline,
you will find that of the thousands of
consumptives there, the few who are
benefited and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles
