What do you think of the Woman's
Club paper?
Uood citizenship consists more- in
constructive than in destructive work.
A woman may belong to many
clubs. She may be active in all the
good wi.rks of her community; but the
real value and charm of this will be
destroyed, if she jealously regards
th;' vnrk of sonic other woman, by
criticizing, impungrig motives, or be
l;it!i:i'r efforts that are made even
thou'rh they fall short of the desired
aim.
Gibraltar is the smallest of Great
Britain's possessions being loss than
two miles square. Canada is the
largest with an area of over three
million square miles, and yet the
"Rock of Gibraltar" is probably the
more important of the two, right now.
"The subject of public health is
more and more engaging the attention
of the public. A potent factor in
arousing this fresh interest Loins the
Gene'-al Federation of Women's clubs,
through its department of Public
Health.
The W. C. T. U. claims 4,000,000
j members the world around which
! makes it the largest Woman's organi
sation i tlm world. The General Fed
eration of Woman's Clubs has 2,500,
000 members, which makes it the
largest individual club in the world.
Mrs. Mary Harris Amour (the
Georgia Cyclone) said in a recent lec
ture that Booze was doomed; that the
Christian world, the fitmncal world;
the business world; the military
world, the social world had all de
clared against it. That the underworld
was the only world now left to it.

That brilliant southern author Mrs.
Cora Harris who just now is much in
the lime light, owing to her popular
story of "The Circuit Rider's Widow,"
iust completed in the Saturdrv Even
ing Post, s-ivs of women and Women's
Clubs: "There is no doubt of the
mental qualities and executive ability
of Club women throughout thc United
States; or their broad conception of
the future requirements of the na
tion; but that we are just a trifle too
serious there is not enough of relax
ation and mirthful laughter and just !
a littb too much stiff and narrow ad
herance to parliamentry rulings. j
Here to Stav.
A prominent man recently in an
address to a body of Club Women
stated that he believed in "peace and
unity." He believed in "Women's
Clubs." Said he: "A good healthy
woman had a certain amount of en
ergy which she expended rpon her
club life. If it were not for thc Club,
she would work this energy off on
her husband, that the trouble of times
when the prophets of old wailed "woe
is me" was caused by the lack of
club life among the women."
