W. c. T. U. co. CONVENTION.

w. u |. U. 20. CONVENTION.
tuesday and Wednesday the
Orange County Convention of the
| W. Z. T. I. was held in Grace
Church. During the day sessions
much OF interest in the work was
discussed by the different delegates.
In the evening the principal speaker
was Miss Christine Timing Of Lon
don, who held her audiences at
tention while she pleaded for the
cause for which she is spending her
life. Although the W. CT. U. is
the largest organization Of women
IN the world, 10000 unions being

Advertising is a great means of
spreading the gospel of the Society,
but it is done in different ways
here by public meetings, in England
by posters gotten out by the city
officers, signed by the Health Off
GERS, and paid for by the public
taxes, telling the effects of alcohol
on the system. The evils of strong
drink were reviewed briefly, but
the statement was made that figures
gave us no comprehension, neither
did the story of those, whom we
did not know, stir us, really. 1t is
only by the few cases, which we
ourselves know, that we come to
understand what the evil really is.

She spoke of the fallacy of the

depreciation of "one's powers.

THE DON'T WORRY THEORY.

The usual advice given to the
worrier is, Don't worry. This
advice is foolish, because imprac-
teal. No one can stop thinking
one type of thought except by sub
stituting for it another. Besides,
1t is dangerous advice, for, even
supposing one could mechanically
put an end to a worrying state OF
mind, he would simply be like an
engineer who should plant himself
on the safety valve of his engine.
The energy expended in worry,
turned inward on itself, would tear
the mental mechanism to pieces.
MOI What the worried man or
woman needs, evidently, Is to be
taught how to find healthful out
let for his or her nervous power
thus going to waste. If we say,
" Don't worry, " let US also be careful
to add "But work." and let US also
point out what kind of work should
be undertaken and the spirit IN
which it ought to be done. In
other words, what the worrier needs
is re-education.-Rev. ;. ;. Nc
Comb. in HARPER's BAzAR.

FIVE MILLION

There Is everything to favor Guthrie
as a banking center The country
tributary to the city Is the most fer
tile in the state. and our farmers are
the most prosperous. Nearly every
one OF them have some money In the
bank. and at this time OF the year
especially more Is being constantly
being added to their accounts. Added
20 this is tde fact that Guthrie Is a
great iobbing and wholesale center,
which is especially favorable to the
banks. The large number of manu-
features here also help. and the fact
that this is the capitol and a large
part of the state money is kept here
lis no small factor.
Guthrie has fve banks, two of them
National. and three of them state
banks. Their combined capital stock
is S330000. Their combined deposits
amount to more than S50e0.000. Their
annual clearings amount to more
than a quarter million dollars. They
are all on sound financial footing.
