ing of women, each wearing the badge of
the "World's W. G. T. u"
Prominent among them will be Miss
Willard, the President of the Association,
who has just written for the "Review of
Reviews" a timely article, which
describes the work of the society aud tells
how and why it became an international
body.
The article is fascinating reading, and
n CLEANS from it more than mere facts
and statistics, for the pages are filled with
quiet illusions to work whose magnitude
and methods give endless food for
thought.
Briefly told, the story runs thus: In
1888 Miss Willard, with a companion-in-
arms, visited every State and Territory
under our flag, covering in her trips
30, 900 miles of travel during one year.
When there were no more worlds to con-
quer here she was still oppressed by a
vision of distant lands where no effort
had been organized to curb intemperance
and where vice reigned unchecked. The
desire to form a society that would work
for the protection of the home-wherever
the home might be-grew too strong to
be strangled. Chimerical as the plan
seemed to her more conservative friends,
it was tentatively tried, and in that same
year Mrs. Lsavitt was sent forth as the
Fl rst White Ribbon missionary. From
that time the record of the work done by
women devoted to the oause is almost
incredible. Here, for ipstan ce, is the
account of two women sent together to
India, China and the United States and
England:

Change of Meeting Hour Expected
 Meet General Approval.

Hartford, Sept. 1.-The Connecticut Congregational club has decided by for mai vote to change the hour of meeting from 1 to D. m. Though departing somewhat from traditions and customs hitherto prevailing, the change is fully
 warranted by the present conditions and is expected to inaugurate new era in the history of the club. This club stands seventh in time of organi- zation, being preceded by three in Mas Isachusetts, one in Providence and one in Cleveland, Ohio The Boston club
 was the pioneer, being organized in 1869. The idea was quickly caught and clubs were formed rapidly, there being at present in the country fifty-one such organizations 6ourteen in Massachu- setts and only two in Connecticut), all
 within the Congregational church, be- sides number in other denominations. The first steps toward forming a club in Connecticut were taken in the au- tumn of 1876. A circular was sent to each ministerial association in the state
 requesting cooperation in such an eff fort. In response seven representative ministers of the state met in Memorial

ELIzABErH rEcK STOWE.
Touching Obituary Written by Ono Who Knew Her Well.
 Communicated

The relatives in Milford of Miss Eliz- abeth Peck Stowe, who passed calmly away, Aug. 20, at the home of her sister
 In Evanston, Ill, deem it not unsuitable that sketch of her life should be given in the columns of this paper. Miss Stowe was the eldest daughter of the
 late Henry Stowe, of New Haven, who held the honored office of deacon for
 siXty-six-years, and sister of the late H. w. Stowe, prominent lumber dealer of the same city. Most of her life was passed in New Haven It was her priv ilege to enjoy the high moral and intel lectual culture that came to the pupils or Mount Holyoke seminary, through
 the influence of Mary Lyon. Miss Stowe was a member of the school on that memorable March 5, when the earthly life of the founder of that wide ly known institution ended. She ever revered and honored the character of
 Mary Lyon.

 the "Shut-ins." Her antiquarian and genealogical tastes, when her strength would permit, prompted her to much study and research, and her pen was not idle. For many years she was a diligent and systematic student of the Bible. Fully appreciating access through friends, to the city libraries,
 she used to say. 'I live in an age of golden opportunities, Her name was enrolled on the list of members of the

LITTLE SUFFERER
Face, Hands and Arms Covered With | Scrofulous Humors - How a Cure

Face, Hands and Arms Covered With
 ScrofuIous tiumors How a Cure
 Was Effected.
 "When five years old my little boy had scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It was worst on his chin, although the sores on his cheeks and hands were very bad. It appeared in the form of red pimples which would lester, break open and run and then scab over. After disappearing they would break out again. They caused intense itching and the little sufferer had to be watched continually to keep him from scratching the sores. We became greatly alarmed at his condition. My wife's mother had had scrofula and the only medicine which had helpd her was Hoods Sarsaparilla. We decided to give it to our boy and we noted an improve ment in his case very soon. After giving him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla the humor had all been driven out of his blood and it has never since returned" WILLIAM BARTz, 416 South Williams St., South Bend, Indiana.
