There hat been so much said' against them, so much controversy concern ing' them, I am not surprised that some people have lost confidence in them. I wish you would write Mrs. Bogle, as one woman to another. I wish you would ask her whether she has been hired to write such a testimonial. whether her testimonial represents the truth. I hope you will remember that she Is a housewife, like yourself, that she has something to do besides write letters, that she is a woman of mod: erate means and cannot afford to write these letters and pay her own postage.
