on a smaller stage.
The woman on the raft IS type of
hundreds of thousands of her sex who are
drifting into danger. Up to a definite day,
a given hour even, thSy have been enjoy
ing life in perfect security. Then, in
moment, a sense of impending danger
comes. They realize that they are at the
mercy of disease, as dangerous an enemy
TO the body as the great sea and its tenn
pests are to raft. Every day increases
the danger. They are drifting, drifting,
drifting away from peace Of mind and
ease of body to that silent sea where hope
and help can never come. Then comes the
cry for help To thousands of appeals
there has come the answer from DR.. r. V.

WALK ASHOREi WALK ASHORE!
You are still in the shallow waters Of
disease. You can still get back without
more than inconvenience 10 the land OF
health behind you. All you need is just
the night word Of advice and common
sense instruction in time, and the grip Of
a helping hand. That is just what Or.
Pierce offers 10 every one suffering from
disease; timely. Notwithstanding. life-sav-
ing advice, practical help. 1t requires
some confidence to take advice when your
own senses are against IT, The woman
on the raft could not see the bottom OF the
roily water, and the land looked so far
away. So the woman in disease can't see
how she can be cured, and recovery OF
health seems hopeless. And. perhaps. the
very disease that has begun TO threaten
her is consumption, that dreadful disease
regarded by millions as incurable. Her
local doctors perhaps say, I'VE can make
your suffering a little less. but there's

clubs have ceased ''to shine" and throwing
away the hindering mantle of sham and ped
antry are now hewing their way with
yigOr that strikes the sparks Of vitality from
the hinty facts of science and history. For
example, a literary club of Duluth sent the
following analysis of it's years study to the
club corner: The general theme being Pre-
historic Man," the members concentrate first
upon the physical evolution of the human
being. discussing the anthrapoids. Then TAX
ing up the subject of mental evolution, the
club investigates the chief physical determi-
nants of mental power, the capacity of brain
and the difference between the human and
animal mind"
These are only the first two subjects of the
analysis, but are sufficient to prove that while
there are still many clubs that seem content
with surface work there are others Which are
laying claim to the treasures Of the centuries.
The Woman's Club of Newport, which was
organized in 1892 to stimulate intellectual
development, very appropriately espOuses the
cause of the Newport public library, and has
also stood sponsor for number Of lectures.
It is reported as the only club in Newport
belonging to the state federation.

SOME FEDERATION STORIES.

Mrs Underwood, of Winona, RECALLED the
convention with some taking anecdotes cen
nected with the early history of her city.
Once there came to the village from the
East, she said, a man clothed in broadc 9th
and loaded down with clerical dignity. He
one day opened the kitchen door, for he was
the guest of her parents, and, holding out
pair of rusty boots, said: Have the servant
black these Without another word he dis
appeared. leaving the family in consterna-
ton, for there was no servant, and. worse
than ALL no backing! Ink was tried, but 1t
gave no lustre, and but a dubious b ack.
The little girls Of the household offered to
solve the problem. They turned over the lid
of the cookstove, scraped off the soct which
they soaked in vinegar, and then smeared
artisticaly upon the ministerial boots. Mrs.
Underwood assured the women that neither
she nor her sister dared face the clergyman
at breakfast next morning
Those surely were cold days-colder than
Minnesota can boast now, for then a man
was liable to pay a severe penalty for wear
ing a beard. Such a one stopped at the
only hotel Winona had at that time, and his
wnlskers were wondroUs to look at-Iong
white soft and flaming. But the morning
after his arrival he did not appear at break
fast, and the landlord found him trying to
thaw his beard and the bed clothes apart

The CLUB CORNER.

The G l o b desires to make its club cor
ner a clear and faithful reflector of Mnne-
sofa organizations and to this end extends to
them an urgent invitation to use its space
as an open parliament. The roster of clubs,
which is about completed shows that many
have taken up the same themes of study for
the year. II will be helpful to the clubs
themselves and instructive and interesting TO
others to compare the results OF these va
rious discussions and researches. If each Or
ganization viii forward to the department

A club woman writes to Harper's Bazaar
on a subject which must strike readers as
peculiarly pertinent for consideration at
federation meetings. She asks: why can
not we women, as students, cease to skim? 1t
has ever been our besetting sin and until we
overcome it, men are and ever will be, lords
of creation. They may neither belong to a
single study club nor possess third of the
daintily bound, uncut volumes, nor have
prepared a paper in all their lives; but men
know what they do know"
