Sandy Spring, Maryland, has one of
| the oldest clubs for women in the UuiOn
we believe. The Woman's Association
lor Mutual Improvement as it was
styled having been organized at that
place in 1851.
Mary l.. Roberts, a daughter of the
late John Needles, of Baltimore, con-
WINGED, after residence of several
years in the country, that to many
| women of the farm did not have suit
ticient opportunities for selt-culture
and social intercourse invited dozen
| or more of her neighbors to talk the
| matter over one afternoon in her hos
pitahle home and partake of Il simple
meal before adjournment.
She suggested regular meetings at
the homes of the members and the
appointment of secretary who should
also preside With very few eXcep-
| tions this society has met the last
in each month since with an average
of fifteen members and often quite as
many guests. The late Mrs. William
Henry Farquhar was the first secre
tary, and she filled the position adj
mirahly for ut least twenty years. Mrs.
Charles Stabler is the present incum
bent. We believe but four Of the
original members are living, but in
several instances daughter has been
invited to accept the vacant place OF
her mother on the roll which is limited
to seventeen names.
Each member is expected to con-
tribute something ut each meeting
and these selections naturally range
''trom grave to gay, from lively to
severe" An apostrophe to the dying

JUST WHAT'S NEEDED

Exclaims thousands of people who
have taken Hoods Sarsaparilla at
this season of the year, and who have
noted the success of the medicine in
giving them relief from that tired feel
ing, waning appetite and state of ex-
treme exhaustion after the close con-
tinement of a long winter season, the
busy time attendant upon large and
pressing business during the spring
months and with vacation time yet
some weeks distant. 1t is then that
the building-up powers of Hoods Sar-
saparilla are fully appreciated 1t
seems perfectly adapted to overcome
that prostration caused by change OF
season, climate or life, and while it
tones and sustains the system, it puri-
ties and vitaliZes the blood.
