The Inck of Reserve.

"He had no reserve" How often we
hear this expression on change or III

when business man has been pushed

epitaph for the grave of many FAN

condemned. leaky vessel. On a calm
day II can be towed from port to port
but it would be utterly helpless In

Many fail from lack of reserve OF
education, of early training. or soild
ingrained habit. Others fail from lack
of reserve of savings. Of capital. Many
have gone down from the lack or char'
meter reserve. of health reserve, oil
friendship reserve. 1t pays to store vi
reserve of every kind, to be prepared
for every emergency. Too eXhaustlni

WOMAN'S CLUB
 ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS.

At the meeting of the Womans Club the past week two resolutions were un- animously passed by the mem bers. One was in regard to the action of the mayor and board of aldermen in the definite stand taken by them upon the question of Pure Water for the city of Birming- ham, The other was upon the decision of the mayor and board of aldermen to have the city authorities take charge of the cleaning of the city instead of hav- Ing the work done by contract The Wo- mans Club has discussed with great in- terest in the past both of these very im- portant civic problems and now wishes to unequivocally endorse the action of Mayor Drennen and his board on these two issues.
 The following resolution was also pass ed
 The Woman's Club thinks most heartily the press of the city-The Age-Herald, the Birmingham News and the Daily Ledger for their kindness and courtesy during the past year. Also the merchants of the city who have advertised with the club and those who have rendered assistance and courtesies to the club.
 To the leading Florists of Birmingham; to Judge J. J. Banks, who has given valued legal advice The club wishes especially to thank those who have favor ed the club during the past winter by lectures and talks upon the various lines of its work. The Woman's Club is ap- preciative and grateful for the continued support and encouragement of It's many friends in Birmingham. The work for the coming year was discussed. It was also decided to meet only twice a month in fu- ture, the first and third Wednesdays in every month. The first meeting will De devoted to the business of the club and the study of social economies and the second to lectures upon selected topics. Mrs. D. H. Bell was elected first vice. president; Mrs. James Hardeman, Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Samuel Blake were named a committee to select suitable quarters for the club next year

al Federation is so short sighted as to request us to do this, were they in full possession of the facts with which we of the South are confronted at the present time
 Let us remember, our of charity, that our rolls at present contain the names of three honorary members whose places of residence are within the con fines of the territory embraced by the National Federation, and on whom we know that we may trust for loyal sup port should the occasion ever demand it.
 Would 1t not be the policy of wisdom to empower our representatives to place this affair in such manner before the State Convention that a memorial might be taken before the next convention of the National Federation, which would not only acquaint them with the facts which exists in the South, but which would also assure them that 1t was not through any feeling of prejudice on our part but solely for our own protec- tion and the consumation of the pur- poses of our organization that we are unanimously protesting against the ad- mission of the negro clubs. And, fur ther more, it does not seem that the south will have to fight this battle sim gle-handed since there is not an en- tire unanimity of purpose even in Massachusetts, which state has always been noted for it's extreme opinions up- on the negro question. What we of the south hear of this matter arc only the rabid utterances of persons not only un- acquainted with this section of the coun- try but who have seldom, If ever. been forced into close contact with the ne- gro race.
 Let us take advantage of this oppor- tunitV not on1v pnli-hten inc Ma tional Federation on the subject, but to vindicate our own course in quail flying the terms of our admission. What ever benefits we are able to derive out of the larger association which our state federation affords In the same propor- tion must we derive a greater benefit from our entrance into the National As sociation. Let us not neglect this pos sibility of gaining honorable admis- sion into the National Federation, for every step taken toward the enlarge ment of our sphere of action tends but to advance us to that day when with the exercise of all her power woman will still be Pure as the prayer that child hood waits above" and the definition of the great French philosopher will be full filled. Superior in power of affection, more able to keep both the intellectual and the active powers in continual sub ordination to feeling, woman Is formed as the natural Intermediary between hu- manity and man."

 ist and expect her to accomplish wonders in a short time.
 "A woman, too, will wear veil about once and then expose her face to a scorching sun and a wind that ruins it. Now, the scientific treatment that is given the complexion should prevent tan and keep off freckles, and there Is no reason why women should get sunburned and freckles any more than they should wrinkle.
 There are of course many lines in a woman's face that are brought on by frowning and that add ten years to her looks. Then there are the lines that come from neglect of her skin. those dreadful lines that all women dread. But have found that women, as a rule, are more careless of their scalps than of their complexions. They seem to think that because their scalps are not seen, that they can go uncared for If the scalp Is well taken care of the hair win take care of itself.

Of course, ev- erything depends upon the proper ar rangement of her hair and upon the proper care of herself in every way. I have dwelt before upon the well-groomed woman The complication, however de- mands special care at this season, when the ounce of preventive is worth the pounds of cure.
