Conference at Battle Creek Oct. 31 to "0'. 6, 1907. Th “wince of the National Purity me I6 b'e held at Battle Creek, Mich, promises to be Ittcnded with Weighty counsels and influence against the many forms of social impurity. Not only does the Federation directly attack the white slave trade, but it seeks to promote purity of life by every agency of prevention, education and reform, From a personal letter of the Presiâ€" dent. Mr. B. S. Steadwcl! of La Crosse, we learn that “tho conference- gives eve_ry present promise of being the largest by for and the program the best of any yet held, May of the important national rcformkméeties will send delegates and have designated speakers.” ‘A “nerd-imitation is extended to all ~organizations. that are laboring to pro. mote pnrily or' eradicate vice to unite with this Federhtion and send delegates to ‘his conference. All religious insti‘ tutions and'churclpeg, reform and tem~ perancc societies, rescue homest labor unions, golitical parties and other organ- izations whose principles accord with the purpose of this Federation are urged to raccept this invitation. AH; possible ihfé’rmtiofi will be fut- nished concerning details of the confer- cnoe or Federatian by addressing B S. Steadwcll La Crosse, Wis. The conference, of this‘Fadefa'tion was h‘éIH last war at Lincoln Centre, Chi- cago, and was in everv respect a most \aluable and interesting event. Does the White Slave Trade Flourish? .No comment on the importance of such a movement as the above could be offered more direct and timely than the attempt of a Mr. and Mn. ,Chtisman, who are reported in Thursday’s papers as making a persistent effort to trap a young girl named Ida‘Meyers from the Five and Ten Cent Store of Chicago into their net of 'vice. Fortunately for lda, ,she was not altogether ignorant Of the wiles of the weld, and after being bored beyond the limits of patience she reported the matter to the police, who instructed Ida how to lure the disgrace- ful couple into their hands.

' ' The following dramatic Story of life- saving reaches us just before we go to press: LA Punt, Mu, Augxflâ€"Sleeping in the tent beside the Santa‘ Fe railroad track in which she and her husband live.

Three doilars and twenty cents a head is none too great a_ price for life-gaving.
