sELLEVIEW VISITED BY w. c. 7
U. WORKER

On Friday night, March q, we had
the pleasure of listening to an excel
lent lecture delivered by Miss Louise
E. HOLSTER of Evinston, I'll. Miss
Hollister is a national organizer and
lecturer and has been working in
Florida since December but left here
this week for West Virginia. Her au-
dience here was small but very atten-
tive, and learned many things along
the line of temperance work
Miss HOLSTER takes an optimistic
view Of the present outlook and said
that we were rising above the dark,
heavy cloud Of intemperance, and
could already see the light of victory.
One force is led by our King Eman-
uel, and the opposing forces by King
Alcohol Here she quoted several
passages from the Bible, promising
victory. There will be no more slums
when the whiskey is banished from
the land Some brewers say that w
c. T. L. stands for women continual
ly torment us" We are glad that it
is so. Someone else has said that
these letters mean "we come to I'M
ite"
Everything is not in the temper
ance reform, but the temperance re-
form is in everything. There is the
biggest fight on now that this old
world ever saw, as the opposing sides
are mastering all their forces over
the whole country, and neither side
expects to be beaten.
She gave some interesting incidents
that occurred at the national conven-
ton in Nashville, Tenn, last October.
In closing Miss HOLSTER sang the
welsh Glory Song" which was great
ly enjoyed. We hope to have the
pleasure of listening to her again
some time.

zone Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat worm
he calls all the hens in the farm yard
to come and share it. A similar trait
of human nature is to be observed
when a man discovers something ex-
ceptiOnally goOd-he wants all his
friends and neighbOrs to share the
benefits Of his discovery. This is the
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin. This explains why people
who have been cured by Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy write letters to
the manufacturers for publication
that others similarly ailing may also
use it and obtain relief. Behind every
one of these letters is a warm hearted
wish of the writer to be of use to
someone else. This remedy is for sale
by all druggists. M
