THE EDUCATIONAL RALLY.
Was Held Last Night at the Y. w.
c. A. Rooms.

The hall of the Young Women's
Christian association was we'll filled
last evening on the occasion of the
educational rally. Miss Franc Meal
pine presided. Miss Charlotte Savage,
the new general secretary, and Miss
Mickle were seated on the platform.
Miss Savage read from the Scriptures
and Rev. Richard Horns offered
prayer. Mrs. II. l.. Harding played a
piano solo.
j. U. Wagner made the address of
the evening which was replcte with
scholarly thought. In the course of
his talk he made the statement that
the discovery of America grew out of
the crusadcs. In speaking of the OBJ
ject of the Young Women's Christian
association he declared that the high
est development of the human mind
is that which rests on moral basis.
In conclusion he asserted that America
has reason to be afraid of Germany
because ours is essentially reckless
spendthrift nation while Germany is
the most economical in the world.
Mrs. Harding rendered pleasingly the
Narcissus, after which Miss Savage
made a pleasant address. Mrs. NJ. w.
Lowry sang two solos very sweetly.
Miss Mickle, the physical instructor,
addressed the audience in an interest
ing manner urging the young women
to enter the gymnasium work.
Refreshments were served at the
meeting. The educational classes will

charge of the elementary English
branches. Mrs. F. f.. Hamilton will

Hughes will teach art needle work.

pay to use expensive machinery where
in individual cases only small guam
titles of tea are to be rolled, dried,
fred, etc. This carries with it all the
uncleanly and unpleasant features in
cident to the old manner of manipu-
lating tea by hand
There is little doubt that the discus
sion of this matter had much to do
with the recent legislation that has
perforce stopped the importation of
much impure and unwholesome tea,
but legislation here cannot stop the
method of preparing tea in foreign
countries. All we can do here is SUI

certain percentage of dust (shown by

come into the country, the law does not
keep out the swcat-tainted and dirt
laden teas, the condition of which is
entirely due to the manner of prepara-

Mrs. Boardman, n correspondent OF

whole process, and shows that, except

touched by human hand, and 1t is not
too much TO expect, she says, that

From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.


The following letter to Mrs. Pink

East Susquehanna Ave, Philadelphia,

lief from utter discouragement. She
says:
"Inever can find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia Il. Pink

"Some years ago had womb trouble

OF recent years much has been writ

in tea-growing countries of preparing
