In reply to the query, "How shall I, teach the books of Daniel and Jonah to my children," Dr. Lyman Abbott, in the New York Independent says, in effect: "Teach the Bible stories intbe way that you believe to be true.

Men and women all over the coun- try, in clubs and churches and indi- vidually, are agitating and endorsing the movement concerning the require- ment of health certificates on tbe part of applicants for marriage licenses and for various other measures hav- ing to do with tbe public health, both physical and moral. Such concerted action is moat com- mendatory, but in the interval which must intervene before legislation can be effected In these matters, it la most desirable that individual parents, guardians, and adults who exert any influence over the youth of the time stand individually for the exactment of the safeguarding conditions in the cases which are under their control, or over whom influence may be ex- erted. Public action is necessary to pro- tect persons who are without natural guardians, and it is without doubt only a question of time before legisla- tion will be taken, but the ground should be prepared by careful and con- selections clergymen and paiwtaVr * * * ?;$&/;â- &'â-  FRE8H PAINT. ?^£, <-[ A martyr's crown liberally bedaubed with green paint is not the most > be- coming headgear for any woman* suf- fragette or not. such aa Indignity toward womankind would arouaa re- sentment under any other tnmflttiOM. but there Is a general feeling Is tag case of the rampant speeimems of femininityâ€"inâ€"England, daatniy-" National President of Organi- zation Showered With Atten tion on Birth Anniversary. era of ' property and participants In outrage against an innocent public guilty only of declining to change post haste convictions inherited through many generations, that tbe circum- stances warrant, in some degree, the deed ,.>.

N. Stevens, president of tbe National W. C. T. IT., In tbe headquarters, 1730 Chicago avenue, Friday, in honor of the birthday anniversary which was being celebrated by tbe leader in the great temperance movement. The date, March 1, is al- ways set aside as the "red letter" day of the year In W. C. T. U. circles and in honor to Mrs. Stevens, the efforts of the thousands of members through- out the United States are devoted to work in circulating tbe Union Signal, tbe official paper of tbe organization, of which Mrs. Stevens is editorrtn- chief. For fifteen years Mrs. Lillian M. N. Stevens has been the head of the na- tional W. C. T. V., succeeding the lov- able Frances B. Willard, who passed away in 1898. For several years prior to tbe death of Miss Willard, Mrs. Stevens was one of the active work- ers in the national organization, being fisat vice-president. , .With Miss Anna A. Gordon,, now vice-president of the national organi- sation, Mrs. Stevens ^arrived in Bv- anston Thursday from the state of Maine that she might paas ber birth- day in the city which ia proud of the national headquarters of tbe associa- tion. Many gifts, scores of telegrams containing beat wishes, and huge bou- quets of beautiful flowers were received on her birthday by the honored president A quiet and unos- tentatious celebration waa con- ducted in the national headquarters during tbe day, much interest of course centering about tbe success of the workers throughout the United States in adding to the circulation of the Union Signal. ' It mlght.be added that tbe birth an- niversary of Mrs. Stevens this year opportunely falls on a date when all interest is being manifested by her co- workers la tbe temperance movement on national legislation. Tbe veto of tbe Kenyon-Webb bill, which prohibits the shipment of intoxicanta into pro- hibition states, after it bad been passed by both the senate and the house, by President Taft, and then the passage of the bill by the senate over the veto and tbe probability that the same action'would be taken that day by the house of representatives, caused much algniflcanee to be at- tached to tbe day.
