NO MORE GOSSIP.
Women of Springfield, Mo-, Sign 6
Pledge to That Effect.

women or Springfield, Mo-, Sign a
Pledge to That Effect.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, Feb 2-This city
has been treated to two surprises by an
ultra-faskionable and anti-gossip club
formed by society women of the city a.
few days ago. The club was in itself a
novelty, ard yesterday several ministers
excorlated the movement and its leaders
from the pulpit.
The anti-gossip society, under the name
of the Woman's Self-Elevation society,
was organized one day last week at a
meeting OF the Afternoon Card club The
club was entertained that day at the home
of Mrs. MoAfaer and almost two score of
the elite Of Hhe city were present After
the prizes Of the day had been awarded,
Mrs. Mosher proposed to her friends the
formation of new society of women,
the members pledging themselves to speak
no evil word of any other woman. The
suggestion was met with favor from the
women present.
Inc plan OF the society is to invite
women of ali conditions TO take the anti
gossip pledge, with no other qualificas
lions for membership. There are to be no
officers, dues or regular meeting. 1t was
decided to invite all DESTROYS of becom-
ing members to meet today at Mrs. Mosh-
er's for a more definite organization
would approve the movement the women
concerned sent, a statement of the OBJ
jects and purposes of the society to the
several ministers, requesting that they
read the announcement at the morning
service. The ministers reached secret
understanding on the matter and as a
result surprised their congregations by
complying with the request and then
severely commenting upon it,
The comment of Rev. J. T. Bacon, of
the Cumberland Presbyterian church, is
a fair example of the sentiments ex-
pressed by several of the leading pastors
Mr.. Bacon said he did not like the source
of the anti-gossip movement If the
women engaged in it would change their
associations and attend the revival meet
ings of Maj. Cole, in progress here, they
would find the Gospel religion a sufficient
bride for unruly tongues. He would not
restrain members Of his congregation
from joining the society If they felt so
inclined, but he would object to the card
playing habit being associated with the
anti-gossip pledge. -
Pursuant to call the women interested
in the movement met this evening at
Mrs. Mosher's and large number signed
the following pledge: "I do hereby SOL
EMMY pledge my word to speak no evil
of any woman whether such report be
true or not Any violation of this pledge,
however, does not release me from it's
subsequent obligations, which are to con-
tinue for all time to come
Mrs. Mosher says the women were
greatly surprised and shocked to hear of
the ministers treatment of their project
She says she Is sure the preachers have
misunderstood the movement, which Is
an adjunct to Christianity. The pledge
book Of the new society will be kept open
at her residence, and every woman in the
city of Springfield Is invited to sign 1t.
The anti-gossip crusade is to be made a
power for good, Mrs Mosher says.

troversy as an active participant In the
case, saying Mr.. Campbell had promised
him $1,000 to testify In the case against
Mr.. Clark, In this prosecution.

matter at the instance of Mr.. Z. w.

mt it. of "a Whiteside OH the other
side" Accordingly, he said, he had Wis
tied Mr.. Campbell. After hearing his
proposition to testify that several OF
the members of the legislature had been,
to his knowledge, bribed, Mr.. Camppeli
had agreed to pay him the SUN men,
toned for his share, and even offering TO
double It. He said that Mr.. Camppeil
had told him Oyons) that he would ruin
him (CampbelD if he revealed the facts
before the committee. He said ne mao

tell was false.

Mr.. Campbell asked the witness IL IL

Coffee.


Coffee caused dull headaches and dir
illness, with steady indigestion, until I
discovered the reason Of the trouble, and
this was proven by leaving off coffee and
taking Postum Food Coffee. The dizzi-
ness, headache and indigestion have en-
tirely disappeared.
"My mother, Mrs. Burlingame, Kenil-
worth, O., was great sufferer from
stomach trouble and indigestion for many
years She had to live on very re-
stricted diet, until during the past winter
she gave up coffee and began using
Postum Food Coffee every day. 1t is
now three months since she made the
change, and she is so much improved she
can eat nearly any kind of food. 1t is
evidence to us that the coffee caused the
trouble and that the Postum Food Coffee
helped to build her back into health and
