STIRS CLUBWOMEN
Bitter Rivalry of Candidates
Threatens to Disrupt Oak
land Club Luncheon
OAKLAND, March 14.— Politics and
the claims of rival candidates for the
office of president has stirred \u25a0'. up a
tempest in the Oakland club that has
nearly wrecked ' the elaborate plans
made for the March luncheon Wednes
day of this week. "- For a month or so
the members have been divided in their
allegiance, a large number wishing the
re-election of Mrs. Letm Hall, the in
cumbent, and an equally large number
desiring to claim for Mrs. ,C. \u25a0 S. Cham
berlain .the honors. of the office.
Although at the business session of
the early month all disagreeable dis
cussions were waived in open meeting,
the party leaders accomplished consid
erable before- balloting for the 11 can
didates" who shall be voted upon in
April for members of the board "of
directors. Three tickets were in the
field, one representing the allies of
Mrs. Hall ' and omitting the names of
Mrs. Chamberlain - and"* Mrs. J. G. \u25a0J.
Marslly, another Including Mrs..Cham
berlain and Mrs. .Marsily and omitting
Mrs. Hall, and the third combining the
three prominent women. \ .•'•;«£\u25a0'
That there has been much bitterness
is openly admitted by the most con
servative members. Not a few of the
women have announced their intention
of withdrawing their names from the
membership role.
When it was announced that Mrs. E.
I. Bartholomew would preside as host
ess- at the March luncheon her politi
cal inclinations were discussed, and
when it was found that she would de
clare herself^in favor of neither can
didate, but refused altogether to vote,
the conclusion was reached by the sup
porters of Mrs., Hall that she was an
ally of Mrs. Chamberlain. They threat
ened to remain away from the lunch
eon. Mrs. Bartholomew still refused to
take part in the coming election, but
went on with' plans for 'the" occasion.
Several of the hostesses declared that
they would give up their tables."
Mrs.* Bartholomew said this morning:
"The women have a right to stay away
if they want to. I am taking no part
in the election and am refusing to
A-ote. They can not hurt my feelings,
but never again will I undertake to
put through a luncheon."

How to Purify the
Blood in the Spring
<From the National Rome Monthly.)
At this season of the year nearly
every person requires a tonic to
cleanse the blood and purify the sys-
tem from the accumulation of waste
matter that results from the inactive
life of winter*
Spring fever, dullness, languidness,
the disinclination to work or exercise
— the general all-around run-down
"Oh, what's the use" feeling — poor
appetite, sallow complexion, liver
blotches, pimples and eruptions of the
skin — any and all of these symptoms
indicate the need of a good blood
tonic and liver invigorator.
Get from your druggist one ounce
of karden:; dissolve the kardene anH^
Vi cup of sugar in Yz pint alcohel and
add enough hot water to make a full
quart. This excellent tonic purifies *
and enriches the blood, arouses the
liver, corrects deraged digestion, re-
stores lost appetite, clears the skin
and strengthens and builds up the
entire system at a small'cost. Take
one tablespoonful five minutes before
each meal and before retiring.
