The Subject ofMrs.
Hamlin's Lecture.

Mrs Morrill, Hamlin of Portland de-
livered her last of the first course OF
lectures, Tuesday, at Library hall be
fore a large number of people. Al
though her subject was, .'The Pure
Food Law" she alluded first to the
question of how the Boy Scouts
were first organized, telling briefly
how and what the chief aim of the
leaders of this great move was. The
speaker forcibly impressed upon her
audience the good that was being de-
rived from these organizations. and
how the plan went to build up the
most hopeless case to high moral
character.
Mrs. Hamlin stated that the, Boy
Scout organization was neither a
political or military move, but was
mainly for the betterment of unruly
boys.
The speaker then took up her main
topic, THE Pure Food Law" of which
she said in part: DIR. Wiley after ex-
periencing the greatest opposition sue
ceeded with the aid of five other men
in Congress in passing this great law,
in The year 1906. The members of
Congress who We're opposed to this
move organized, what was known IS
the Remson Board, and this commit
tee fought hard against any move that
DR.. Wiley and his associates at
tempted to make. Finally this board
was abolished and the methods ad-
vocated by DR.. Wiley were upheld by
Congress.
The great good that the House
wives League was doing throughout
the cities of the Omitted States was
very ably presented and Mrs. Hamlin
argued that the High Cost of Living
was due in a large measure to the eN-
pensive .luXuries that the people have
today that they did not have in pre-
vious years
The second course of lectures will
begin the 21st of this month and will
continue until the middle of March.
