Conducted by the McCook W C T U
There are some men in our town so
busy helping the saloonkeepers make a
living for their families that they have
forgotten all about tbe needs of their
own Listen what Gods word says
about it 1 Tim 58 But if any pro
vide not for his own and especially
thoso of hid own house be hath denied
the faith and is worse than an infidel
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
We beiieve in the coming of His
Kingdom whoso service is perfect free
dutii because His Laws written in our
members as well as in nature and in
grace are perfect converting the soul
Wo believe in the gospel of the Golden
Rule and that each mans habits of
life should be an example safe and
beneficent for every other man to follow
We believe that God created both
man and woman in His own image and
therefore we believe in one stanuaid of
purity for both men and women and in
the equal right of all to hold opinions
and co express tbe same with equal
freedom
We believe in a living wage in an
eight hour day in courts of conciliation
and arbitration in justice as opposed to
greed and gain in peace on earth and
good will to men
We therefore formulate and for our
selves adopt the following pledge asking
our eisters and brothers of a common
danger and a common hope to make
common cause with us in working its
reasonable and helpful precepts into the
practice of everyday life
1 herebysolemnly promiseGod helping
me to abstain from all distilled fer
mented and malt liquors including
wine beer and cider and to employ all
proper means to discourage the use of
and traffic in the same
To confirm and enforce the rationale
of this pledge we declare our purpose
to educate the young to form a better
public sentiment to reform so far as
possible by religious ethical
means the drinking classes to seek
the transforming power of divine grace
for ourselves and all for whom we work
that they and we may wilfully trans
cend no law of pure and wholesome
living and finally we pledge ourselves
to labor and to pray that all these
principles founded upon the Gospel of
Christ may be worked out into the
Customs of Society and the Laws of
the Land

PUBLIC LIBRARY NOTES
One of the new books in the library
deserves our special and extended no
tice Practical Illumination is what its
name implies practical It contains
chapters on light and the eye compari
son of lllummants residence lighting
desk drafting room and office lighting
The lighting of public halls and lodge
rooms the lighting of large dining and
banquet rooms the lighting of large
public rooms depots lobbies etc the
lighting of halls corridors and large
office buildings the lighting of theatres
the lighting of churches the lighting of
libraries reading and school rooms car
lighting store lighting show window
lighting shop and factory lighting
These chapters show that tbe book cov
ers the whole field of artificial lighting
and it gives suggestions for bettering
existing conditions
Those who are building a residence
fitting up an office or lighting a public
ball will find much to interest and
many suggestions for the concentration
and diffusion of light to meet the needs
of the room or the special purpose for
vgjbicb it is used
rUhe text is supplemented by many il
lustrations which make clear the use of
light the waste of light and the com
fort of light
None of our senses needs such tender
care as the one of sight and using tbe
eyes in a poor light is an abuse which
will not long continue without serious
results A study of artificial light
will be helpful to all
