The Woman's National Council, Francis E. Will
lard President, is out with an address 10 the woman
organizations of the United States, urging the adj
vantages of union-local state and National. A
local Council has been formed in Chicago and
Philadelphia; Detroit and Providence are forming
Ohio and Kansas have each State Council. The
address concludes as follows:

save for good purposes; it is safe to predict that
they never will. Their isolation one from another
is in the interest of brute force; their combination
means the dominance of peace and spiritual power
the publication, protection and coronation of the
home, and home is the shrine for whose sacred
by are we who live to see the day when the WON en-
of our native land clasping hands with pur-
pose so high and in unity SO holy which may
God bless.
Better homes better laws better women and
better men is the animating impulse of the women
at the helm. For a copy of this excellent address
