Paris Pattern No. 1881, All Seams
Allowed. r Especially desirable for
fiouncing is this dainty model which
is cut in one piece. If desired, how
ever, it may be developed in plain
lawn, nainsook, thin cambric or jac-
onet. The square neck and the waist
line are gathered into the figure by
ribbon-run beading, and If desired the
garment may be made with a peplum

from riding up around the figure. The
garment closes in the front with
small pearl buttons. The pattern is
in three sizes, 13 to II years. For a
miss of 10 years the corset-cover as in
front view requires u yard of fiounc-
ing 13 inches wide, with 1 Il yard of
narrow beading, one-half yard of wide
beading and 33a yards of ribbon or,
as in back view, it needs three-fourths
yard SO or AZ inches wide.

Others Of less radical sentiment, and
has been chiefly instrumental in Sc
curing the advanced legislation on the
liquor question which has taken place
since it's Inauguration.
A steady campaign for the reduction
of licenses has been carried on by the
organization, the good results of which
may be judged by the statement show
ing that in 1876 the number of licenses
issued in Ontario was 6,185, while for
the fiscal year 1906 this number had
been reduced to 2,691. This reduction
is notable in consideration of the fact
that there has been large increase
in population in the province. Past
efforts have also secured prohibition
of the sale of liquor to minors and in
further limiting the hours Of the sale
of liquors by retail dealers. A further
Increase in the territory under local
option was noted in the years report
which shows 81 municipalities in the
province in which the sale of liquor
is prohibited. Special efforts are be-
ing directed toward the abolition of
the treating system, drinking in clubs,
and toward imposing on the general
traffic such further restrictions as will
effectively remedy its evil. There can
be little doubt that the alliance repre-,
sents an overwhelming public senti-
ment in regard to temperance reform,
and is proving powerful agency in
eradicating the liquor evil by educa-
tional, moral and legislative means.

DRINKERS DISEASE VICTIMS.
Alcohol as Related to the Health of
the Masses.

Recent statistics seem to show that
the death-rate from tuberculosis
among manual workers is from two
to three times as high as among
the mercantile, agricultural and pro-
fessional classes, and the causes for
this excessive mortality are being
earnestly sought by intelligent
students of social problems There
can be little doubt that one reason
lies in the unhygienic surroundings
of the home, while another undoubted-
ly lies in the unhygienic surroundings
of the workshop, In New York, George
F. Dugan, secretary Of the Teamsters
union, and the Rev Charles Steele. of
the State Charities association, are en-
deavoring to work on these lines. and
in connection herewith they have un-
dertaken to investigate the relation
which the saloon holds to the i'll
health and other ills of the working
classes. Mr.. Steele has sent to every
union in the city circular containing
IL questions, covering the whole
ground of the relationship between the
saloon and the working people, and
ascertaining the action taken in rela-
ton thereto by the said union. All
previous evidence adduced in this re-
lation contributes to the general opin-
ion held by social reformers that the
saloon as the poor mans friend is
really one of his worst enemies.

North Mississippi
Conference
TUESDAY

For the first time in her history Oko-
Iona entertained the North Mississippi
Conference this year. Never before
has she felt herself large enough 10
undertake the task of providing homes
for some 275 ministers and lay dele
gates. but with the dc ecided growth in
population in recent years, and with
tho completion of her new $4,000
Methodist Church, she now awaits
expectantly and cheerfully the incom-
ing Of the Conference.
Right nobly has she risen to the de-
mand of the occasion, under the very
efficient leadership of her beloved
pastor, Rev. Robert A. Clark, assisted
by committees Of laymen, and indeed
by the whole community, irrespective
Of creed or denominatI, nal affiliation.
The committee on entertainment, con-
sishng Of T..J. Campbell, F. j. Nc
Donnell. Jr., and L. A. French. has
provided homes for all, and the recep-
ton committee, consistin: OF the fol-

Taylor---to wait on the Conference
during its sessions. In short, every
thing has been done by Okolona that
a to vn could do on such an occasion.
and she deserved and is receiving the
appreciation aud thanks which are
due.
With nothing short of delight the
Conference welcomes again as its pre-
siding officer Bishop E. E. Hoss, who
four years ago presided over the same
body at Grenada, and in the complete
restoration of whose health the whole
church rejoices with thanksgiving. He
arrived Tuesday evening, and was en-
tertained in the home of NJ. R. Waller.
Seventeen applicants presented
themselves Tuesday before the COM
mission on admission. This is one Of
the largest classes. possibly the largest
ever applying for admission in the
history of the Conference, .and their
presence indicates that the much talked
of dearth of candidates for the min
istry does not pertain at least to North
Mississippi.

encouraging both as TO spiritual results
and material progress. AS on last
year, the GreenviIe districts alone

The Corinth district led III the
number of conversions, 1000 being
reported.

respective courses prescribed for un-

in their progress toward ordination at
the end of their course as elders in the

committees indicate that the work has
progressed nicely, few having failed
TO appear and few having been dis
qualified. The acceptance by the
Conference of certificates from the
Vanderbilt correspondence school for
under. graduate preachers has greatly
lightened the burdens Of the examining
