II is a fact that there are not nearly
as many thin and scrawny people on
the streets of Augusta today as there
were a year ago. This is undoubtedly
due to the general use of Mi-o-na, the
flesh forming food that Bowditch IL
Webster and Percy w. Means have
been selling in large quantities the last
year. Bowditch & Webster and Percy
w. Means have so much confidence in
Mio-na that they offer TO pay for the
treatment themselves IL it does not
give satisfaction.

There are many people who know
that the Sorosis was the first woman's
club ever formed in this country but
they do not know how it came to be
formed. When Charles Dickens was
making his famous lecture trip through
this country he was feted and honored
by all the great literary lights of the
country and among others the New
York Press Club rendered him a ban
quot of which the late Horace Greedy
was the chairman of the committee of
arrangements and POSTMASTER. AT
that time Jennie June (Mrs. Croly) and
Fanny Fern were the only two we'll
known women journalists in New
York and they had the temerity to ask
for seats ut the board. This launched
bomb at once into the camp of the
enemy and only when Horace Greedy
stated plainly and decidedly that he
would have nothing at all to do with
the affair unless these ladies were adj
lnitted did the committee decide that
the tickets might be procured for the
sum of fifteen dollars apiece. AS this
was far in excess of the sum charged
for all the men the women at once re-
fused to accept a place where there
We're such determinations against the sex
and they at once determined to have ~
"Woman's Club" and the Sorosis was
the outcome. 1t is quite interesting to
note that the first invitation of any
Importance was that extended by the
New York Press Club to the members
of the Sorosis and the next year the
Sorosis returned the compliment.

SEEKS AID FOR MAcEDoNIANs.
Member of Committee Arrives in the

New York, Oct. 9.-Dr. S. J. Shoom-

Recently he returned to his native

years." he said, "since the treaty OF
Berlin, for the Inauguration of the re-

from our homes our goods and our
lives placed absolutely at the mercy
of those who are merciful only when
they kill.
"It may seem strange to say we are
not trying to form a government in
Macedonia. But such is the fact; eur
warfare is conducted simply with a
view to force Bulgaria to fight Tur-
key. Her people are doing it with
food, recruits, arms and funds, but
her government has stood like the
rest of the powers and looked on"
