THE POMONA GRANGE.
How TO Make It's Meetings More Sue
cessfuI.


How TO Make It's Meetings More Sue
cessfuI.
The success of a Pomona grange de-
ponds quite largely upon the interest
and activity Of the master in giving
general oversight of all its affairs, but
the character Of it's meetings and the
usefulness of the exercises to members
depend upon the skill and good judg-
ment of the lecturer in arranging and
carrying out programmes. All that has
been said at other times in regard
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of prepared printed
programmes for subordinate oranges
applies with equal force to Pomona
oranges. 1t should be understood by
lecturers that a Pomona grange when
holding a meeting with a subordinate
grange is expected to aid the latter and
furnish exercises of an encouraging
and helpful nature rather than to be
entertained by exercises provided by
the subordinate grange. This calls for
the leading part in the exercises to be
taken by the visiting Pomona grange
rather than by the visited subordinate
grange.
In pursuance of this policy speakers,
essayists and musicians from abroad
should be assigned parts in the exer-
cises rather than from the locality
where the meeting is held. The pomo-
ma grange visits the locality to impart
grange information and promote grange
enthusiasm rather than to inbibe it to
carry away. 1t is in one sense a mis-
sionary carrying the gospel of the
grange wherever it goes for the pur-
pose of leaving more pronounced sen
timent and increased zeal for grange
work.
When we consider the work of the
Pomona grange in this broad light it
is evident that some part of the meet
ing should be held III open form, so the
public can be admitted and listen to
the grange doctrine. This does not i'm
ply that the doors should always be
open to any one who cares to come and
a dinner or supper provided for such,
although there is no objection to this
if the Pomona grange is financially
able to do it.
1t is sometimes argued that if all ses-
siOns are held behind closed doors the
effect will be better in attracting those
desirable to become members through
curiosity and other reasons, but such
is not the policy of societies and insti-
tutions attempting to improve existing
economic conditions, as the grange
strives to do. Such a course may be
wise for societies, whose sole purpose
is to improve their members through
ritual and ceremonial action. The
grange occupies a broader field and
aims to accomplish more far reaching

How to Make a Cleansing Fluid.

The best cleansing fluid to keep on
hand for taking out spots is made in
this way: Pour a quart of soft water
over quarter of a pound of white cas-
tile soap cut fine and let it stand over
night. The next morning put on the
back Of the range where it will dis
solve, but not boil. When this is ac-
complished, put four or five quarts of
soft water in large vessel add to it
the dissolved soap and stir thoroughly.
Then add one ounce of liquid ammo
mia, quarter of an ounce of spirits of
wine and an ounce of ether. Shake
well and bottle. Always shake before
using. A bottle of this should be kept
on every washstand ready for use
whenever a spot appears on a gar
ment. A rubber" made of a little roll
of soft dark flannel or stOckinet, with
a loop to hang over the neck of the
bottle, will be found a great conven-
fence and save precious moments usu-
ally wasted in looking for something
to sponge with.

How to Cnre For the Eyes.

First of all, take care of your gen.
eral health. Poor health often leads
indirectly to various eye troubles
Then remember that straining of the
eyes is caused by dazzling glare OIL
a bad light Glare and gloom are
equally bad to work in. You need not
ask which is the worse for the eyes;
one is as bad as the other. The light
should fall on book or work from be-
hind us. The attitude while at work is
Of great Importance. The head should
as far as possible be kept erect Stoop-
ing causes an increased flow of blood
to the head and eyes; this is injurious
to them. Don't read when travelling.
Deny yourself this pleasure for the
sake of your eyes,

make you irritable you can't sleep,
you are unable to quietly and calmly
perform your daily tasks or care for
your children.
The relation of the nerves and gen.
erative organs in women is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability. Spirits easily affected, SO
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps. Pain in the ovaries and
between the shoulders, Loss of voice;
nervous dyspepsia. A tendency to cry
to nervous prostration.
Nothing will relieve this distressing
condition and prevent months of pros
tration and suffering so surely as Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Mrs. M. E. Shotwell of 1O3 Flatbush
Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, writes:
6 cannot express the wonderful relief 1
have experienced by taking Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound. I suffered for
long time with nervous prostration, back
ache, headache, loss of appetite. 1 could
not sleep and would walk the floor almost
every night.

life was a burden. was advised to try
Lydia f. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound,
and it has worked wonders for me.
am well woman, my nervousness is all
gone and my friends say l look ten years

Will not the volumes of letters from
women made strong by Lydia e. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound convince
all women of its virtues? Surely you
cannot wish to remain sick and weak
and discouraged, exhausted each day,
when you can be. as easily cured as
other women.

How They May He Secured at Little
Expense.
! Many persons are hindered from TAX
ing out copyrights which might be of
great benefit to them Oh books, plays,
songs, maps, engravings, Autographs,
Photographs and art works because of
the fees charged by lawyers. 1t is very
easy to take out a copyright, and it
costs but 30 cents or a dollar if a du-
plicate of it is desired
The first thing to do is to have two
printed title pages of a book or play
prepared. These may be typewriter,
hut must not be sent in handwriting.
Two specimens must be prepared ex-
actly alike in all cases except a photo
gfa 4 Of a statue, when one is enough.
Then write to the librarian Of congress,
copyright department. Washington,
and ask him to please forward you
some application blanks for copyright.
They will be promptly sent. Read one
over several times to be sure of all the
places to be filed in then write In the
spaces which are prepared and clearly
indicated that you wish 4 copyright
stating what you wish copyrighted
sign your name in all the designated
places, inclose a postal order for 80
cents and the two copies of whatever
you wish copyrighted and address it
according to the clear instructions.
In case it is a printed book two copies
are sent, but it must be book printed
from tyre set up in the United States.
If the book or play is not yet printed
and the title is to be copyrighted, two
copies of the complete book should be
sent when completed.
There is no need of a lawyer to en-
able any one to obtain a copyright.

Trivial Causes.

In most unhappy marriages the
cause Of evil has been trivial. As
Steele says, the first maxim in a
married mans condition IS that hus-
band and wife should be above tri-
Aes. When two persons have so
good an opinion of each other as to
come together for life they will not
differ in matters of importance, be-
cause they think Of each other with
respect and are prepared for mutual
assistance and relief. But for small
er matters they have made no prep
arations, and hence springs the mis-
chief.

New Hampshire's Deputy Service.

We" N1HIuDShIESs deputy service.
The excellent condition of the grange
in the Granite State is more largely at
tributed to the deputies faithful execu-
ton Of the carefully laid plans Of our
state masters and their official advisers
than to any other agency.
The executive committee, Of which
the state master and secretary are ex
ofiicio members, has annually ascer-
tanned the most pressing needs, and
semiannually the general, the four or
more specials and the thirty odd dis
trict deputies have been called togeth-
err and instructed how to supply these
needs.
The deputies first visit is to instruct
the officers and to outline the plan of
the literary and ritualistic contests for
the year, and the fall inspection is
made to ascertain what has been ac-
complished. At both visits each officer
is scored in his degree work, and the
excellence Of the deterrent numbers in
the literary programmed snoted. Thedep-
utfes examine the accounts, ascertain
and report the condition Of the dues,
and through them the state grange at
all times knows the condition of each
Pomona and subordinate in the state.
Their duties are eXacting and ofttimes
arduous, for they pour oil on troubled
waters, calm the excited, soothe the ir-
ritated, stimulate the lazy and encour-
age the weary.-George R. Drake, Sec

and the case has been held awaiting
the pleasures of District Attorney
Phelps. The people OF Milton have
retained HALEY & Lowell TO assist
the prosecution, and Ireland is be-
ing defended by Balleray & McCourt,
The line of the defense is that the
prohibition law was not legally en-
acted for the subdivision in which
Milton is located. This they claim
on the ground that the petition fol
vote on the prohibition question fol
that SUBJ division was acted upon at q
special session of the county court
They also maintain that the petition
was not subsequently recorded by tn
county clerk, which omission they ar
firm makes the vote null and void.
