but so far I've received only one ap-
plicat.on from a woman. That was from
Mrs. A. Van Wyck of South Brooklyn
At first | thought she must be related
to the democratic candidate for COVER
nor, but learned that she was not.
She asked for two buttons, but whether
she intended to wear one or not I can
not say. / wrote and told her that
thought that ladies could do more good
in this organization than men, and I do,
fer a man will listen to a woman when
he won't pay any attention to man.
I wish women would become Interested
in the movement and influence their
husbands and sons and brothers to join
They would be directly benefited finan-
cialy in the end, and then the Nom
Treating club has no club house where
it's members can spend their evenings,
and we have no dues and initiation fees.
One hundred cards and buttons cost
$l.50, or single card and button is to
be had for cents. That is the only eX-
pense that lifetime member has to
meet 1t is gratifying that young and
old men of all walks in life are Joining
the club. The American press and a
branch of the Non Urea ting club in ev-
cry city in the union can in time COM
pletely abolish the drinking habit, and
this will be far more effective than leg

temperance and will do much toward
making men more thrifty"

Money to Be Saved by Its Mem
bers-Its Growth in N. Y.

If, you meet a man wearing a big
white button about the size of a silver
quarter in the lapel of his coat, with the
letters IN. 7. c." stamped on it in
bright blue, don't stand and stare at
him and wear your brain round and
smooth trying to figure out what sort
of new political bird he is. That but
ton has no political significance what
ever. 1t is the badge of a brand new
club here in town called the Nom
Treating club. This club is a mans
club, of course, but all the women who
know about it say that it is very fine
thing. And it ought to be, for it is
founded on exceedingly liberal princi-
pies and the membership is increasing
with amazing rapidfty.
The club was founded by Z. r. Mo-
nett, general Western passenger agent
of the New York, Ontario & Western
railroad, in Chicago on Sept. with one
member, and that was himself. BY Dec.
Mr.. Monett expected his books to show
a membership of $4,000. New York has
taken hold of the movement under the
leadership of ]. F. Reece, who has been
appointed secretary for this state and
