From Fergus Falls.

It always does us good to hear from
Miss Helen Jewett, president of the Sun
shine club at Fergus Falls, for she always
sends good news.
An entertainment given recently by the
members of this wide-awake band of Sun
sinners yielded the comfortable sum Of
1914, which will be used to furnish a Sun
shine room in the George B. Wright Me-
mortal hospital, that is nearing compile
ton at Fergus Falls.
The entertainment was a success in
every particular
The program consisted Of songs, reci-
tations and two one-act plays in which
the members of the Sunshine club took
part.
The first Of the plays was entitled "An
Old-Fashioned Church, and the second
1.-THE Peak Sisters"
The entertainment was repeated at the
hospital for the benefit of the patients
there, and that they enjoyed the perform
ance goes without saying. The perform
ers were all more joyful themselves in the
knowledge that they had made many 9TH
er. folks glad.
The next regular meeting of the Fergus
Falls Sunshine club will be held tomor-
row, when the annual election of officers
will take place.
The members Of this branch supply
flowers regularly to decorate the churches
at the Sunday services, and also senC
many beautiful and fragrant blossoms t.
the sick and shut-in day after day.

Send Your Dues

All branch presidents are requested to
report to their state president. Every
branch should have sent Isl or more" to
the state president as state dues, and "s1
or more" to the International headquar-
tiers as international dues.
Everybody knows that these dues are
not obligatory, but SO far few branches
have found it impossible to send in at
least a dollar. This money is used to call
the annual meetings; it pays the expenses
of the announcements, delegates tickets,
stamps, letter paper, etc. If you have

Look for Good.

1t is we'll to cultivate the habit of say
ing pleasant things, and you can do this
without being insincere.
There IS something good in every one II
we will only look for and try to see it.
The trouble is a good many of us seem
to be seeking for or at least taking notice
OF the faults of those about us and to take
delight in saying the unkind, instead of
the pleasant. things
1t is little thing to look for good in
other people, but to do this and say only
pleasant things of and to those with whom
We have to do will do much to make life
more full of sunshine for them and hap
pier for ourselves

Why Not.

Why should we be SO inconsistent, so
full of unrest, so fearful of i'll, so anxious
as to the results of our work? Why not,
rather feel and sing, with Elizabeth Bar
rett Browning:
'Oh, the little birds sang east, and the
little birds sang west,
And smiled to think Gods greatness
flowed around our inconpleteness,
Round our restlessness, his rest"

 stroke,
 O And as it bowed it's aged head,
 unused within myself, and said Great oak, unseal thy lips to me And tell me thy past history
 l count the circles in thy girth: Three hundred years ago, the earth First felt the clinging to her breast, And like some infant, loved, caressed, She gave thee needed sustenance To shape thy tiny stem and branch, Tliat in the later years, SO high Were lifted upwards to the sky; While, underneath that spreading tent he generations came and went. Great tree, tell me, in prose or song, The record of thy years so long; The legends of that dusky race Of which there scarce remains trace? For answer then, list and heard The rustling leaves by breezes stirred. As if they thus assayed to tell The story that they knew so well. Then, ere passed for travels wide, cut from out the great trees side Some chosen pieces, trim and thin, Sufficient for a violin.
 These, to a master hand l sent, Who shaped them to an instrument. An, now, great oak, challenge thee Again, to tell thy history! l touched the strings and made choice Of themes my instrument should voice, Then with enraptured soul, heard The trilling of the mocking bird That on some waving branch had swung While to its nesting mate it sung l heard the cooing of the dove That crooned some story to it's love; The lark's glad song, the eagles cry. That scared in circles to the sky. And songs of love of that dark race That made the tree their trystng place. The whispered VOWS, young manhood's
 dream,
 And endless phrasine of loves theme; The wild, disc"rdani songs of war By victors marked with recent scar; The minor strains of savage lay; The clamor of fiesta day; The ringing cheer that loud accains champion in the strenuous games; The mirth and testing as they drew Together, round the barbecue; Neglected babes in vocal score, The naked children's repetoire lle PlpIlG NolCt or age, Ullat spoke Of deeds of valor, meath that oak. Again, in some descriptive strain, The wild nightstor and beating rain. The mountain lions angry note, Coyotes echoing, wierd, remote. The night-hawk, screaming to its mate, The vultures quarreling as they wait; The heavy beetles dreaming flight; The crickets' chirping in the night; The melody a bee had sung While OCT some honeyed flower it hung. All this lodged in the memory Of those thin strips of that oak tree. And still the story ever old Hath phases that are yet untold. Each passing day awakes anew some rhapsody of nature, true, With love and sorrow, mirth and strife, A II mingled, in that Chant of Life.

Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot weather
of the summer months to guard against
bowel troubles. AS a rule it is only
necessary to give the child dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder OF
the bowels. Do not use any substitute,
but give the old-fashioned castor oil.
and see that it is fresh, as rancid oil
nauseates and las tendency to grippe.
If this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy and then dose of castor
oil, and the disease may be checked IN
it's incipiency and all danger avoided;
The castor oil and this remedy should
be procured at once and kept ready for
instant use as soon as the first lndlca-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases OF
