Address of Welcome.
Mr.*. John B. Garden, president of
the Woman's club of this city, and
presidents of the various organiza
tions branching from t.he Woman's
club, briefly extended a cordial wel
come 10 the visiting delegates. Mrs.
Garden said in part :
"The Woman's Club of Wheeling ex
tends its war most welcome to yon. the
members <>f ihe State Federation of
Women's c'lubs.
"Twelve years as:" the \Y?st Virginia
State Federation was born in this city
and so you have come ba--k. t.. i-elebrat<>
an "Old Home" week, in the city of
your birth. I was one of those wh"
was fortunate enough to be present at
the organization of the State Federation
and so have seen its growth from a
lusty infant into a. sturdy .healthy rhild
of twelve years. Many changes have
occurred and we miss familiar faces: I
know you will till miss Mrs. Allen, the
first state President, who is probably
MRS. JOHN B. GARDEN
President of the Wheeling Woman's Club, Who is Prominent in the
Activities of the Federation Convention.
A large proportion of the delegates
were present for the opening yester
day morning, when the credentials
committee and the executive board
met. The various committees were
kept busy all the morning with their
various interests, and the delegates
and club woru^n came together again
at 2 o'clock, when the convention was
called to order in the assembly hall.
The devotional service was led by
!>t\ '"has. II. Robinson, the pastor of
the First United Presbyterian church,
in the absence from the city of Dr.
Jacob Briuingham of Sr. Luke's P. E.
church, who appeared on the program
as leading the services.
An address of welcome followed
front each president of the hostess
with us in spirit and thinkins of us
n<>w. as ssltc basks in ttic .sunshine of
Florida.
"Wo are i'"utttinp much on your visit
li> us not <>rtly because of the pleasure
tr nives us to Kreet our old friends and
make new ones, but because the inter
? ?lianttf of idvas will rouse us to greater
enthusiasm and to a hotter and more
sympathet u: undt-rstandinj; of each
"(her. The true ?'lub spirit should make
us desire to deal fairly and squarely
with >jaeh other and with situations that
may arise. .
"Our work is oft?n marred because it
is not 'done squarely.' May we not as
?'lut> members realise that ?
"The longer on this earth wo live

DRINKET
The Children's Beverage
MADE IN THE! CUP
"ANY children are waiting patiently
until "old enough to drink coffee" ?
when right now they should get
Drinket every morning. They will enjoy it just as much
as coffee, and be far better for every cup.
Drinket is an important aid to child growth ? because
of its richness in all of the natural mineral salts so
greatly needed by their bodies.
The Director in charge of food analysis of the medical school o?
one of America's greatest Universities, who made the analysis of
Drinket, writes as follows:
"All of the mineral salt* required for body growth are present in
Drinket, and looking at the matter purely from the standpoint of it?
mineral content, I can safely say "Drinket" would be a valuable
addition to the diet cf all, but especially for the growing child."

Eighty In Attendance
The preliminary report of the cre
dentials committee was then read [>)
Mrs. Charles S. Morrison, one oi he
chairmen of the credentials commit
tee. This showed an attendance at
the convention of eighty delegates
which represented twenty-five coun
ties of the state, who were registered
as to congressional districts. .Mrs.
Fuller Glasscock, Stale Recording t?ei ?
retary called the roll of delegates Al
lowing which a report of the 1 . ogiam
committee was made by the chairman,
Mrs Julian G. Hearne of Wheeling. A
report of the Rules committee was
read in which it was moved to retain
those observed at the convention oi
last year.
Civics And Public Health
Mrs. 31. L. Travis gave a decidedly
interesting report on (.iAics and 1 uo
lie Health, in the course of which she
said thai in response to the proclama
tion which was issued by the govern
ment. on April IT. West Virginia was
one of the IT states, whose governor
set aside one day which should be on
served as "clean up" day. Mayors of
large cities also set aside a lime for
the disposal of waste and in othei com
munities it was directly the result ol
Woman's club agitation. Mrs. Travis
pointed out. how effective these meas
ures become and how much the goou
health of communities depend on the
cure and cleanliness of the neighbor
hood and the speedy disposal or
wastes. Among the suggestions for the
continuance of 'he movement were
children's gardens, the distribution of
seeds, recreation facilities and many
other community interests which fos
ter the cilv pride. The importance or
i -j'jabv Week' was touched upon and
I .Mrs. Travis continued that a full and
detailed account from each club of thn
I siate was not. possible at this time in
relation to their work along this i/ne,
but the president, Mrs. J. G. Cochran
had received these reports which
proved how conclusively the little
i slate had responded, and that the re
sults if equalled by other states would
have had a far reaching influence. The
speaker advocated the continuance in
public schools of Hie citizenship
training and that of morals, and also
carried a note of approbation tor the
motion picture which in the showing
of moral and educational films, result
in making indelible impression on the
child mind, which is quite the same in
a film of an opposite character.
Two convejitteii committees worn ap
pointed, rules and resolutions, which
are composed of the following mem
