given rise to very wide and general dis.
cuesions that will increase in volume and
weight until the Milwaukee Biennial,
and bids fair to give rise to as diverse
opinions az the discussion OF the rer
capita tax at the Denver Biennial.
The following account Of the some
what contradictory actions taken by
the Worcester Club in the past is from
the Western Club Woman:
Naturally tho Worcester Club has
brought upon itself some criticism, and
it is especially cited against it's present
stand that six years ago 1t opposed state
federation. Yhis is rather small
charge, since the federation exists,
among other things, for the purpose Of
helping women to acquire the courage
to change their minds. On the other
hand, having remained out OF the state
federation for five yeare, because 1t did
not wait to be organized by the General
Federation. it would certainly have been
wise and saved q little friction had it
taken it's proposed changes to the next
Biennial, where they can be acted upon,
or to the proper authorities in the Gen
eral Federation board, rather than to its
own chairman Of State Correspondence.
In replying to the resolutions. the club
is advised to lay them before the council
meeting OF presidents and officers Of
clubs to be held in Philadelphia the first
three days 10 June. Undoubtedly there
will be a prolonged discussion Of this
subject at that time.
Already there has been committe, OF
which Mrs. Plat. Mrs. Philip Moore
and Mrs. Emma Fox are the members,
to define the relative positions OF the
state presidents and state chairman Of
correspondence, for while the president
may be much in her own state, laboring
indefatigably for the federation, in the
National organization, hitherto, she has
been Of quite secondary Importance
compared to the chairman OF correspond.

On the other hand, there are clubs
that oppose state federation. This ques.
tion is now being agitated in California
and it is possible that state may inau.

find the present organization unwieldy.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH.

A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Effect
ual Cure for 1t.
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are a full or
bloating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
risings, formation Of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle
appetite, nervousness and general
played out, languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and If the inte-
rior Of the stomach could be seen It
would show a Shiny, inf1amed condi-
ton.
The cure for this common and obstin-
ate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time
to ferment and irritate the delicate
mucous surfaces of the stomach. To
secure prompt and healthy digestion
is the one necessary thing to do and
when normal digestion is secured the
catarrhal condition will have disap-
peared.
According to Dr. Harlanson the
safest and best treatment is to use
after each meal tablet, composed of
Diastase, Aseptic Pepsin, a little Nux.
Golden Seal and fruit acids. These
tablets can now be found at all drug
stores under the name Of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets and not being a
patent medicine can be used with per-
feet safety and assurance that healthy
appetite and thorough digestion will
follow their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. J. Booher Of 2710 Dearborn
St., Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh is
a local condition resulting from neg-
lected cold in the head, whereby the
lining membrane of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
therefrom passing backward into the
throat reaches the stomach, thus pro-
ducing catarrh of the stomach. Med
