work. These are subjects which, among
others, will engage the energies of the two
departments above named.
Journalism
The attention of workers in this
department will be turned to criti-
cal study of the best and most characters
tic of our great modern newspapers. The
following subjects indicate what may be
expected:
1. Exposition of reportorial work.
2. The province of the editorial.
8. The society column.
4. Yellow journalism. What is 1t?
8. Horace Greeley and the New York
Tribune.
6. Charles A. Dana and the Sun.
Z. The great London dailies.
s. Partisan journalism.
8. Some great war correspondents.
Business
The large number of bright wo-
men who are engaged in business in Bir-
mingham and their success, whether en-
gagged at ledger, counter, accountants
desk or stenographer's table, whether en-
gagged in work professional or commercial,
argues that this department of the Wo-
mans club should be strong and telling.
All questions relating to the business in
terests of Birmingham will be brought for
ward; in fact, this department, as one
feature of its work (Which work can only
be developed after the registering of the
members) will undertake very nearly the
work assigned some time ago to the Wo-
mans annex of the Commercial club.
Much valuable work is expected from these
progressive women.
Finance
Closely allied with the above will
be the finance department The di-
rector will undertake to secure from expe-
rienced financers, series OF lectures
which shall present to the classes the most
important financial questions of the day,
especially those which bear upon matters
whose consideration has been undertaken
by the Womans club.
Reciprocity
The woman's club of Birmingham
is but one-and as yet a very
feeble one-among the many clubs of the
country 1t will need very often the advice
and assistance of sister clubs and of or
ganizations other than Observation-Disclosures
often, here in our own community. 1t Will
rejoice to share its light with others; no
worthy cause shall ask its help in vain.
The director of this section will keep con-
stantly in touch with what is going on
around us. To her and her assistants, the
Woman's club will look for the maintel-
ance in the clubs behalf, of that gracious
cordiality and tactful initiative which will
win for the club the confidence and respect
of all thoughtful citizens of Birmingham.
The following is the official notice.
The first regular monthly meeting of the
Woman's club will be held at the club
rooms in Twentieth street, between Second
and Third avenues, Saturday, December 3,
at O'Clock. The exercises will be as fol-
lows:
Music.
Installa ton of officers.
Music.
Five-minute talks by directors of depart
ments.

Regular order of business.

PECULIAR P0ISONS.
GENERATED1N THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Indigestion of
Food.

The Result of Imperfect Indigestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal. con-
tains within itself the germs OF certain de-
cay and death.
In the human body these germs of disease
and death (called by scientists Ptomaines),
are usually the result of imperfect diges-
ton of food; the result of indigestion or
dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness, does
not promptly and thoroughly digest the
food. The result is a heavy, sodden mass
which ferments (the first process of decay
poisoning the blood, making 1t thin. weak
and lacking in red corpuscles; poisoning
the brain causing headaches and pain in
the eyes.
Bad digestion irritates the heart, causing
palpitation and finally bringing on disease
of this very important organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys, caus-
ing Bright's disease and diabetes.
And this is SO because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal, and
weak digestion shows itself not only in loss
of appetite and flesh, but in weak nerves
and muddy complexion.
The great English scientist Huxley, said
the best start in life is sound stomach.
Weak stomachs fail to digest food properly,
because they lack the proper quantity of
digestive acids Qaotic and hydrochloric)
and peptogenc products; the most sensible
remedy in all cases of Indigestion, Is to
take after each meal, one or two of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, because they supply in
a pleasant harmless form all the elements
that weak stomachs lack.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
/ They increase flesh. insure pure blood,
strong nerves, bright eye and clear COM
pexion, because all these result only from
wholesome food well digested.
Nearly all druggists sell Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets at so cents a full sized package

you the best advice that can be

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Usual Interesting Review
Of the Week.
SCHOOL INTEREST NOT
So Intense as it Should be-An
Increasing Attendance.

with which teachers have to con-
tend is the absolute indifference
manifest on every hand. If our
schools are to accomplish anything;
II the money, time and energy
spent are to result in anything for
the community, the work must be
systematic in every part, and all
concerned must have an intense
interest in everything that makes
for the we'll being of the schools.
If education is a good thing in it.
self, then it is good for all children,
and best for those whose circum-
stances are limited by an environ.
ment of necessity. The child that
gets its education on the streets,
pursues course in profanity, vul-
garity, etc., which makes a Grim
1nal for the State to care and pun
ish.
Why should there be compulsory
school laws in a country where lib
erty counts for so much? Why
should one be compelled to do that
which is for his own good? Has
there been a time in the history of
oil developments and operations
when mar was compelled to in
vest? Has any man, in any part OF
the country, been compelled to en-
ter upon banking, mercantile or
any other business? Certainly not.
Why should school work be all ex.
ception? Manifestly because of the
absolute indifference of those who
should be interested, but are not.
Regularity and punctuality are
two virtues fostered by every school,
and, without them, there can not be
that uniform success to be expected.
1t is not enough that the pupils
name be on the roll. He must be
present, in body and mind, with an
unlimited desire to know.
Our course of study is by no
means perfect, but it is fully equal
to the course in any town of the
size of Sistersville in the state. The
work it prescribes in the several
departments of study affords excel
lent mental discipline to the studi-
Gus pupil, and equips him with no
mean preparation for the pursuits
of practical life. The course of
study is all right. The trouble arises
from trying to get the children to
pursue the course we have. How
ever, there seems to be a growing
interest in school work. The Ell
rollment has gone beyond 700, and
the attendance is quite good.
There has been enrolled in the
first grade this year 227 children.
These are seated in four rooms.
Miss Reich takes the little ones as
they come and starts them on their
way rejoicing. Miss Campbell takes
those who have completed the chart
work and are able to go with the
first reader.
Miss Hill has under her manage
ment those who have been in school
at least half year. Miss Emery
manages all first grade children in
Garry Owen. These teachers are
all estimable ladies and manage
their children nicely in every par
ticular. These rooms are interest
ing places in which to study child
lire.

been furnished with very fine Of

says: Select good, smooth piece. That
which is sold for cotton clothesline is
often used. If you have the pole and

lengths so they will reach from the
rings to within few inches Of the
floor. Fringe out the lower end of err
length six or eight inches and tie kl
above to keep it from untying. Fastcn
each length into a ring. Some prefer
them of two lengths, every other one
