BRYAN 4 DANGEROUS CHARACTER
Bryan, she says, should be suppressedas a

1t is her belief that IL the women of this

must necessarily feel the resulting Strin-

She thinks we should have currency
that will be acceptable in all countries. as
we'll as our own, and also that tile success
of Bryan's cause would be a calamity to
the country at large.
While women. us rdle, are not finan-

management of the financies OF the home
has taught them some valuable lessons
which, theoretically, they may be unable

appreciate.
In The States where women are per

organization OF Mckinley and Hobart clubs,
one of which has recently been founded
here. under the direction of Mrs. w. s.

Kriedler. is doing much TO strengthen this
