Mrs. T. A. Stevens of Gree
ley followed with an Interesting
talk on THE Ideal Program" in
which she said that 1t is the spirit
Of the meeting that counts most.
She urged the members to read
carefully their periodicals, and laid

Mrs. Lizzie G. Sampson, Of the
Bethoud union discussed the medic
al ideals of the union, which, brief
ly put, Is to discourage the use of
alcohol or whiskey in medicine and
in the sick room. She paid a
scorching tribute to fake doctors
and patent medicines, and the ten
dency of mankind, when "all of
us, like sheep, have gone astray."
to dope and dose. She suggests
that If mankind will live right, eat
right and sleep right, there won't
be much demand for doctors. New

the best doctor you can find, and
dodge the medic who drinks. Then
she went after the women who
make homemade dandelion bitters
for spring medicine, suggesting
that II they make simple decoc-
tfon Of the '.yarbs" by boiling in
water. leaving out the alcohol, it
won't taste so good, and they won't
need so much of 1t. This sally was
greeted with applause and much
laughter.
Rev. L. W. Coffman, a popular
young Methodist minister from
Platteville spoke briefly on the re-
lation of the rum traffic to the
missionary work. In the course OF
his talk he made the statement that
for every convert the Christian
missionary made. the country that
sends him makes thousand drunk
ards with the liquor that they send
after him. He brought out the
fact that the Mohommandans and
Buddhists. whom We are trying to
convert, are all teetotlars until the
advent Of the white man. Liquor
in heather lands, he said, is q dis
grace to the Christian world. He
urged that all pull together instead
Of apart. in doing the Master I
work. and cited the case of the
Methodist church on a corner where
the congregation was singing "Will
there be Any Stars in My Crown"
while on the Baptist church on the
opposite corner they sang mo. Not
