Gan merry-makng enter here?'
Surely the germs of cheer may be soWed
when we are trying to cultivate health
and happiness and in the field where we
hope to uproot the germs of trouble and
disease.
Did the great Physician not tell us, 'In
this world we shall have tribulation; but
be of good cheer?"
Today I can neither think nor write Of
any other germ than the one that may be
found in the heart of every "Sunshiner"--
the germ of love.
1t was from this source our society
originated A Christmas card was given
to Mrs. Alden, our president-general,w who
enjoyed its sentiment, and Immediately
wished to pass it on and share the
pleasure with others. From this generous
impulse, prompted by germ of loving
thoughts, the seed was sowed that has
brought forth truly wonderful harvest.
The seed fourished and from ray OF
light it broadened into circle of sunshine
that admits no horizon.
From this species of germ we obtain
only good results and bend our energies
to cultivate instead of thwarting and de-
stroying it. We seek no remedy for its
effects, for none is needed.
We want to increase the activities g
these little germs of love and from the
fullness of the heart scatter them broad
cast over the land. Let us seek to estab-
lish individual laboratories for their cul-
tivation, with as great assiduity as the
profession is trying to cultivate the growth
of other varieties. s-.-r ...5a s+ n

SUIT TO GUST OCCUPANTS
Injunction Proceedings Begun
Against white Men on Indian
Lands in Richardson County.

Injunction proceedings were started in
the federal court Monday afternoon against
John H. Lynds, William Grimes and James
Van Low, whom United States District
Attorney Baxter alleges are illegally occu-
pying lands belonging to the government
and occupied by members of the Iowa tribe
of Indians down in Richardson county, and
endeavoring to lease lands held by the
Indians, contrary to law.
The application for an injunction cites
the law enacted by congress, which per-
mits the Indians to occupy the lands in
controversy, but which land is still owned
by the government. The petition sets out
that the defendants have notoriously tried
to get the Indians to lease these lands
and in several instances had succeeded in
getting possession; that they have paid
little or nothing to the Indians for the
land; that this practice had resulted in
retarding progress by the Indians, made
them dissatisfied with the Indian commits
sioners and demoralized them generally.

more experience in treating female Ills
than any living person.
Over one hundred thousand cases of
female diseases come before Mrs. Pink
ham every year, some personally,
others by mail, and this has been go
ing on for twenty years, day after day.
Surely women are wise in seeking
advice from a woman of such expert
ence. especially when 1t is absolutely
free.
Mrs. Pinkham never violates the con.
fidence of women. and every testimo-
nial letter published is done so with
the written consent or request of the
writer, in order that other sick women
may be benefited as they have been.
Mrs. Fred Seydel. of 4l2 North saith
Street, West Philadelphia, Pa, writes:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham-
cover year ago wrote you letter asking
advice, a. I had female ills and could not
carry d child to maturity. l received your
Kind letter Of Instructions a9d followed your
advice. / am not only well woman in con-
sequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. /
Wish every suffering woman in the land would
write you for advice, as you have done 30
much for me"
Just as surely as Mrs. Seydel waA
cured will Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound cure every
woman suffering from any form of
female ills.
No other medicine in all the world
has such & record Of cures of female
troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound. Therefore no
prudeut woman will accept any substi-
tute which druggist may offer.
If you are sick. write Mrs. Pinkham,
