9 THE WAHAMAKB'RS-TO THE VALUE OF WOMAN'S CLUBS BY W. BODIXE, Supt. of Compulsory Education, Chicago THE PHILADELPHIA MORNING, 24, 1905 Women Who Are Free From Female IllsSleepSoundly U7 How many women are troubled with insomnia How few, alas, habitually sleep the night through and rise refreshed If you can't sleep it is-because your nerves will not let vour body rest Women's nervous troubles Points to the Cause ganism female Get rid labor. Woman's clubs are not theoretical. They are practical.

They act. They "do things" for the good of society, 'for the good of the community and the country. Once upon a time, in days of old, women met and talked and rocked over their knitting needles. They were officially personified then by the name of 'sewing societies. Nowadays, they do their sewing at home, and meet as woman's clubs, not only to discuss problems of intellectual advancement, but to take a timely hand in perfecting reforms for' the betterment of child-life in particular arid humanity in general.

The greater woman means the better nation. While -men have been busy quarreling over the money question and the tariff question, woman's clubs have been busy safeguarding humanity. Woman's clubs also stand for that true patriotism that has ever been characteristic of the American woman, from the tray that Betsy Ross, with her needle, blended the red. the white and the blue, with her heart in every stitch, and. gave to this country a flag whose beauty and powder have been-the "ride of its people and the envy of the world.

Men'a clubs, as a rule, are purely ocial-Women's clubs are not'. Which is of greater value to home life? There can be but one reanable' deduction in the answer: Let us concede it to the women's clubs, not only in a gracious spirit, but in the spirit of fact. Grover Cleveland, in a leeent article in a woman's magazine, assailed women's clubs. He believes they are ininjical to society; a menace to the Nation; a beautiful serpent that has crept into the home "Bringing Them In" (Market street entrance) Don't think because the sun is a bit coy' now that he won't whoop things up before the week is out. This time last year we were selling straw hats at the rate of nearly a thousand a day.

And then, despite all our efforts, a good many men had to wait longer than they cared for before they could get served. That is why we are bringing straw hats in early; six and seven thousand at a and asking our customers not to leave purchasing to the last moment. Sixty per cent, of the hats, so far, have been in the extremely narrow brimmed style. come from female diseases. Their delicate oris a network of intricate nerves.

No woman can suffer from irregularities without eventually ruining her nervous system, of female, disease and the perfect sleep of childhood will return. the White House from bachelor solitude. For some time prior to that event, during Mr. Cleveland's first administration, the republic beheld the spectacle of a president setting as an example to his people a man in the White House who had no wife and no concrete value for home life then a distinguished exponent of race- suicide, to say the least. Be it said, to the credit of Mr.

Cleveland, he has since redeemed himself. But, as a penitent, it is ungracious for him to assail mothers who belong to women's clubs, and some -of whom had families long ere he had taken unto himself a bride." Ts not the judgment of these mothers as competent testimonv in behalf of women's clubs as Mr. Cleveland's? It -would be unreasonable for. the distinguished gentleman from New Jersey, or any other citizen, to paint the ideal wife, in this day and generation, as one whose life was bounded by tle kitchen and the drawing-room, the nursery and the front porch; who would sit supinely alone amid her household goods, while the dear husband was away from home at his own club, making interminable mileage around a billiard table, or, perchance, out of town ruminating why the fish did not bite, or hy he missed that flock of ducks that fluttered away under a mocking sky. Any man who would not give his wife a day off, once or more a week, to spend an intellectual afternoon at a woman's club, is unreasonable, undemocratic and un In women's clubs (as in men's clubs) there are two factions, the radicals and the conservatives.

Madam President has her own troubles, just as the presiding officer. of every organization has his official worries. There are in women's clubs, as in other clubs, some members who are in advice and "invisible' when it comes to doing work. But, on the whole, the women's clubs compare most favorably, in excellent personnel of officers and good -organization, with other clubs, and, from a standpoint of social and. scientific value to the community, are far superior to men's clubs.

I believe in women's clubs. What this country needs is more women's clubs, more- Mothers' Congres-es, more National Councils of Women, more Catholic Women VI leagues; for in organized womanhood lies the moral and intellectual hope of this republic, and the settlement of the divorca. -question and other sociological THE woman who is a member of a woman's club is a progressionist. The man who scoffs at a progressionist is a pessimifct, and the pessimist who knows the least woman's clubs, condemns the most. It can be said, without fear of successful denial, that America leads, and the world follows.

The American citizen is the highest type of independence and of civic advancement, of progress of science in the life intellectual, the life commercial, and the solution of socio-political problems. Would it not be unreasonable to deny the wife, the mother, the sister, or the daughter of that citizen, the right of woman to progress as a man progresses; to belong to a woman's club whose tenets are for the noblest purposes and highest ideals of modern civilization? Woman's clubs are the natural product of a progressive sex in a progressive age. They stand for intellectual and social culture, for philanthropic and educational work, for the discussion of the improvement of the home, the solution of domestic problems. They do not impair home life; on the contrary, they promote it. They do not tend to race suicide; the majority of members of woman's clubs are mothers.

They not only improve their own homes, but they extend the helping: hand of benevolence to other homes to other people's children, to the fatherless and oppressed, to the poor children of the city whose outings and vacation schools are a few of the many beautiful philanthropies where the altruist doctrine of woman's clubs is apparent. Woman's clubs stand for the home, for the 6chod3. for art, literature and music, for domestic science, for the intellectual, advancement of the American woman who presides over the American hornet and the father whose hand pushes the babv carriage of the future American citizen should be proud of the faet that the mothers of the rising generation have the priceless advantage of belonging to clubs which not only tend to promote the social and intellectual culture of the mother, but safeguard most competent rearing of the child.

Answer: Use a life to destroy a paradise that should be- maintained as an indivisible entity in the eyes of man. A great man can make a great mistake. A citizen, be he 'ever so humble, has the divine American right to differ even with an of the United States when that gentleman does unto his countrywomen the grievous wrong of misrepresentation.

The distinguished gentleman from New Jersey prates much of home life, of woman, her duty, her work. Be it remembered, this is the same distinguished gentleman who lived half a century as a club bachelor before that indefinable spell of enchantment known as romance took possession of his -soul, and he at last knew what home life when he took unto himself a very estimable wife, whom all America applauded and revered a. the- woman who saved the necessity of Mp rolls- flapping about and getting misplaced T7in front and luik of House is plaited nam" am skirt.

a tablespoonful of ammonia in a pint of water" not cold. Use this once a week on the plant, it keeps the worm from growing at the root. W'nsh leaves and stem frequently to keep them free from dust, clear water, not too cold, is all that is required. No doubt your ferns hare been kept indoors too lorg. where the gas and heated atmosphere have dried them out.

Put tbem out of the sunlight in the garden, where "they can breathe the fresh air and absorb rain and dew. this freshens them up considerably. Wash the leaves two or three times a week, on both under and upper side. Place a basin of water near the ferns. The.

moisture acts as a food for the plant. The earth must toe kept wet at the bottom of the jar, but not to such an extent that it stands in the jardiniere, that invites mold. NAMING THE HOUSE FOR MRS.

It might be a warm dav; would it be very much against the rules of propriety to go without them? It depends entirely upon the formality of the occasion. It ia usual to wear gloves at a full dress reception. But if the ladies agree not to wear them and carry off the function with less ceremony and more enjoyment, there is no reason why you should make yourselves so PARSNIP WINE FOR T.

S. Allow" four to six pounds of the bruised, rasped or sliced parsnips to each gallon of water. When the water is boiling drop in the bruised vegetable and infuse until cold. Then press out the liquid and to each gallon add three to four pounds of sugar, one ounce of cream tartar and from two to five per cent, of brandy. If you find that the hot water makes the parsnip hard, let it stand off the stove for a few minutes after boiling and before adding the parsnips.

Dip a perfectly new and clean wbisks broom in pure alcohol and swab the fur well with it, re-wetting often," until the fur is soaked.

Have ready an abundance of powdered starch, and, with a flour dredger or other perforated box, fill the wet hairs full -pf starch, working it down, to skin with your fingers. When dry, powder again and thickly, and shut up in a box for two days. Beat out the powder then, in the open air, with a whisk; shake and toss and punch the articles until clear of starch, and put up as you would pack away other furs. The result of the treatment will be eminently satisfactory. Pinkham's Lydla ii DID NOT MAKE HER COLLECT CEHT1PEDES" Draughtsman Welch Asks That Decree of Divorce for "Cruelty" Be Annulled Fpecial to The Inquirer.

BALTIMORE, Md-, May 23. William Welch, chief draughtsman of the Corps. United States Army, who lires in Washington, has tiled a bill in the Circuit Caurt asking that the decree of divorce served by his wife be annulled. In her petition Mrs. Welch charged among other things that her husband, who was a collector of insects, had compelled her to collect bugs and insects as well as poisonous and offensive centipedes.

Mr, Welch declares that these charges of cruelty are untrue, that he was never summoned to defend the suit and that the decree was secured by fraud, the attorney who represented him being in collusion with the attorneys for his wife. Welch also says that for sixteen months prior to the divorce being filed Mrs. Welch had received $100 per month out of Mr. Welch's to live on, and that her testimonv and that of her mother, Mrs. Mary J.

Dixon, was fraudulent and deliberately false in so far as it charged him with having been cruel and vicious and in having deserted his wife. GIFTS TO M. E.
