Union SlSnal. An effort
l..ls1 been made to change the name
but the old name was preserved.
The National President is editor in
chief.
The gayel used at tie Worlds
Convention at Geneva, made from
tree back of Rest Cottage, was
presented to Mrs. Stevens.
Perhaps a summary of the Pres
ident's annual address may not be
out of place here as it gives us a
broader outlook and gives the en-
couraging sign of the times.
The Health Office of Germany
has prepared a mass of material
showing the injurious effect of alco-
hol which is being circulated for
the good of the Germans.
France placarded the injurious
effect of alcoholism-the moral, re-
ligious and intelligent element of
all France stood for this sentiment
but an enraged liquor element sued
the government for damages.
In Russia every town has its tenn
perance committee; every country
district its temperance protector.
In Iceland the w. G. T. u is a
strong organization. A saloon was
established in Reilsjavils; the best
citizens by the dozens stationed
themselves outside warning all of
the danger. 1t is needless to say
the proprietor was obliged to move
elsewhere.
England is rowing against the
tide, but the temperance people are
rowing as never before. The Lon
don News excludes betting and
liquor advertisements. Recently
10000 people assembled in Royal
Albert Hall, London, to protest
against the liquor traffic.
But what of our own country.
Vermont and New Hampshire,
through piece of political trick
cry, have gone back to license. If
Burlington had been eliminated a
greater vote in Vermont would
have been polled for prohibition
than ever before.
Texas is fast getting ready for
State prohibition.
Oklahoma Territory says: When
we are crowned with statehood,
ours will be prohibition state.
Kansas stands with solid front
for prohibition.
AntiPolygamy-The voice of the
entire Convention was to leave no
stone unturned to unseat Senator
Smoot of Utah. But it is not worth
while to give convention news on
that. Never has the history OF
Mormonism been made faster than
the past three months, and today
the United States is arrayed against
the Mormon hierarchy and it is to
be tried, and not an individual
One thousond dollars was donated
at the convention by man and his
wife to fight Polygamy.
The w. G. T. us interest in the
peace movement is not to be over
looked. President Stevens called

Each room contains a large cupboard, built into the wall, in Mhich the bedding is piled during the day, and at night the slaves come in when summoned to make up the beds on the floor. Other bedro om requisites, in the shape of washstands, dressing tables and wardrebes, are dis. pensed with as superfuo ous.

THE SUNNY SIDE.

Every normal person desires long life. Of
course this includes the wish for happy life, and
the way in which we take life goes far toward It's
conditions Very often we see recipes for long
evity, But the one recently given by the Rev DIR.
Robert Collyer after passing his S0th birthday an
niversary. is one of the practical and sensible
ever offered 1t is simply this:
Live natural life, eat what you want, and
walk on the sunny side of the street"
There is more in this advice than might appear
on the surface. To be sure, the physiological act
of walking on the sunny side of the street is one
to be observed for it is better for everyone absorb
all the sunshine possible because sunshine is ma
lures great reiuvenator and upbuilder. The larger
number of human ailments the result of living
too much indoors. This applies particularly to the
woman who keeps house. as well as to the men or
women who shut themselves up III office, store
or factory all day long, day after day, but there
is also another and more tigurative meaning To
'keep on the sunny side of everything is the best
kind of tonic. To keep cheerful, to refuse to look
at the dark side Of such troubles and vexations
come our way. and to let our cheerfulness shine
that others will bask in,the rays that is tempera-
ment worth cultivating, and one especially invalu-
able in the home.
"Then Live a natural life" That is get as
near to nature as you can. Go out of doors every
day for brisk walk. Go to the woods at least once
a week in summer and try to have flower garden
if practicable in which you can spend some time.
This is to the housewife, who bears the daily bur-
dens of housework heavily upon her shoulders. As
to diet, DR.. C0llyer says: Eat what you want
What you really want is what you need for proper
indigestible danties. Eat good, plain, nourishing
food get all the outdoor exercise you can, do not
worry over what you cannot help and in every re-
spect "Walk OH the sunny side of the street"
