I assert that it is the duty of the good houscwitV to keep down the appetite of her bostmnd. Particularly is this neces sary in the CU8I of well-to-do profos sional and business men. In the fami lies of mechanics earning low wagea men a warning is almost unnecessary, but it in. i.v lie said of m. st men in sood circumstances that they eat too freely of rich f: od. if men would begin care ful and lysti matic physical culture in early youth and continue the practice through life good beaith would be the result. Beyoud the age of forty at a period when s. many are physically lazy- the superior value of exercise is appan at: bui ordinarily, this is just Hie time win n the hygiene of athletics is neglected. There is no reason why a punching -bag, rowing-machine, pulley weights ami other apparatus Bhould be relegated to collejje' hoys and clerks. But having done a good deal of work in his time it is almost Impossible to per BUade a business or professional man, turning forty, to give any sort of atten tion to physical culture if Buch training has l). en previously neglected. Hence. I say it is the duty of a woman to keep from her husband all rich compounds that will ultimately ruin his digestion. High f ling Is occasionally neutralized by bard exercise; hut in the absence of the latter it is mischievous in the ex treme. If your husband will stand the treatment, begin by switching oil' from tho heavy breakfast, of beefstake, hot rolls, potato , etc., and set before him eggs-on-toast, oatmeal and coffee. Rev. 1 S.

LUBDOM among women has as sumed such enor mous proportions of late that not to be long to one or more organizations with a view to benefiting yourself or man kind in general is to tacitly acknowl edge oneself dead to the world. The meeting of the Illi nois Federation of Clubs at Peoria last month did much toward denning the position of these bodies in regard to various subjects which are of vital im portance just now. Women have now had a chance to put themselves on record, with the result that their clubs have taken on a dignity entirely un known to the worthy Dorcas societies which were their predecessors. And lion- to Mivc Peach TreeB. Peaches are grown in Fremont county where ordinarily they will not thrive by e .v. ring the trees with earth in the winter. Iti ord r to do this roots are no, allowed to extend on two sides, say the north and south sides of the tree, but are allowed to grow on the oast anil west sides. Tims when the earth is removed from tlie tree in the fall, as winter ap proaches, the tree can be bent over to tlie earth and covered with light soil, protecting ir entirely from injury through the winter. In the spring th-3 tree is raised to its natural position and the earth replaced as before about i;s roots, which had not been disturbed. if course tiiis Is a very laborious and expensive method and it can be prac ticed only on a small .scale and at some expense, but' ii has been done success fully. A; points as far north as Den ver the trees may be enveloped, if not too large and sprawling, in bundles of rye straw, gunny sacks or other mater ial. Trees Intended to be protected are no; permitted to grow large or too sprawling, Before covering, the tops are drawn in by encircling a rope, which is drawn together and tied in position.

Every time tlie man next to her puffed his cigar she looked unhappy. A i lasi she turned sharply to the con ductor and said: "Smoking is very disagreeable to me." "Is It?" he rejoined, sympathetically, "it certainly Is." MILS. GEORGE SIILTIWOOD. the beauty of these institutions is that a woman in her time may belong to any number of them simultaneously, which goes to prove that they boar one an other no ill will and their relationship Is quite harmonious. Only at election times is there any display of party feel ing, and then it is not of a personal nature. The choosing of their officers, especially the president, is a matter of much moment, and she must be a worthy leader in every respect, for as is the president, so is the society, in a great measure. When Mrs. John C. Coonley was elect ed to that chair by the Woman's club l ist spring it was by a flattering ma jority. The office sought the woman in this case and the choice in every way was a strong one.

"My mother founded the first woman's club In Louisville, and she is president of it at the present lime." Mrs. Coonley was born in Virginia, but moved to Louisville when a child. Her father was a stanch union man. Her recollections of war times include many exciting scenes which as a child she but dimly understood. Mrs. Coon ley is a busy woman, and her time is much taken up with different charitable and philanthropic projects in which she is deeply interested. She is a member of the Fortnightly club, the Contribu tors, Twentieth Century, Amateur Musical club and the University guild, and yet she declares she is "not a club woman by any means." Her particular talent finds expression in very graceful verse, which from time to time has ap peared in different periodicals over her name. A collection of her poems, "Un der the Pines and Other Poems," will he brought out in this city at an early date. Her prose contributions have found their way into the eastern mage s'-- ?

PS It her closest interests are centered there, and all her charitable work is confined within that district. Mrs. Sherwood believes in concentrating one's time and attention. "I don't think it a wise idea to try to do too many things at once," she says. "You can't spread yourself over a very large territory and be equally thick In all places, and you can't make time enough to enable you to belong to half a dozen clubs at once." An exceedingly conservative club is the Daughters of the American Revolu tion. Individually the members may believe that "kind hearts are more than coronets," but collectively, as a body, it takes blue blood and a long line of an cestry in order to become a member. Mrs. S. H. Kerfoot is the regent of Illi nois, and is now serving her third term. Mrs. Kerrfoot's ancestors were all good lighters in the revolution, and to en courage a love of our country and a be coming sense of gratitude toward those who fought so bravely for this land is a thought very near her heart. The Daughters of the American Revolution organization was not founded for phil anthropic purposes, further than that its aim is to encourage patriotism among those who adopt America as their home. A favorite plan of Mrs. Kerfoot's Is the establishment of a branch chapter for tho children of the descendants of revolutionary heroes, where appropriate readings, flag drills and such exercises as would tend to nurture a proper pride in their native land will be given. Sometimes a club achieves notoriety and occasionally it is thrust upon it. The Olio, which Is a small assemblage of women, comparatively, with a mem bership roll of about 100 names, sent a representative down to Peoria, who, by her emphatic remarks on the subject of partisanship, drew all eyes toward this club. Mrs. Miriam A. White is the president, and is also vice-president of the Chicago Xewpaper Women's club. ; Mrs. White is actively engaged in journalistic work and is associate edit or of the North Shore Suburban. Her writings are principally confined to questions of the day, particularly thoso pertaining to matters sanitary, hy gienic, educational and social. She i3 not a rabid suffragist, but believes in women voting on all matters pertaining to the public schools, and then in a purely nonpartisan spirit. "We have already an overpowering element of the illiterate, the uneducated and, worse still, the criminal classes, as voters," she declares, "and matters will not bo improved by bringing in the sisters and cousins and aunts of these people." The Kilo club has said its seven time", one and one over, and each year finds it stronger and better able to extend its field of usefulness, The noonday rest if w MRS. MIRIAM A. WHITE. n mr MRS. IDA WOOLLEY MORGAN. is an idea of this organization which has found practical expression and its popularity amply testifies to the want which it fills. Mrs. Ida Woolley Mor gan is the president and one of the charter members, Mrs. Morgan is comparatively a new-comer in Chicago, having lived in New Ycrk until eight years ago. "In visiting my old home in East 1 Twenty-third street," Mrs. Morgan re lates, "I found that after passing out of my father's hands it has been rented for a club, not unlike our noonday rest, by Grace Dodge." Mrs. Morgan is much engrossed in the subject of girls' clubs and devotes a great portion of her time to their in terests. Of all the clubs in the city the most wonderful, in many respects, is the Al pha, which, with its sister club, the lieta, numbers close on to a thousand members. They differ from all other clubs, inasmuch as there is no board of directors, no executive committees, nor red tape of any description. It is really like a dream club. Mrs. John C. Thom as is the president and founder, and tho who'.e plan is to furnish, for a price so small as to be only nominal, meals for worklngwomen, lodgings for strangers passing through the city, or belated ICS. Mrs. Coonley confesses to but suburbanites, and to afford instruction one hobby, and that is an intense love of the country. She considers it a very moderate sort of hobby, but one that sue indulges as much as her multifarious duties will allow. The West End Woman's (dub is quite a youngster compared with its older sis ters, having known the bliss of only three birthdays. Mrs. George Sher wood is the third president, and feels that there is no apology needed for her dub, except concerning its age, a point on which the members are as yet a little sensitive. Mrs. Sherwood is a patriotic west sider, having lived in that part of the city for over thirty years. All in an endless number of subjects, from cooking to music and French, all to be within the reach of the very slimmest purse. "I have had Buch a club as the Alpha in mind for ten years," Mrs. Thomii3 explained, "but not until my children married and went away from home did I feel myself free to establish it. Then I had to convert my husband to the plan. He was inclined at first to think it visionary, but now he Is as enthusi astic as I am about it. We have given up our home on Ashland boulevard and live right here, so I can give my per sonal attention to the work." YOU SEE THEM EVERYWHERE Timely Warning.
