THE WOMAN,S CLUB

W O-'~@AAN -
In February last a number of
the women of this town met for
the purpose of organizing a club,
and the result was the Woman
Twentieth Century Club. 1t
held two very interesting meet
ings every month. The meet
lingS were we'll attended and the
membership grew every month.
The line of work pursued was
the study of our own country
and our own times. Deeming it
of first importance to know our
own history, our own people and
our own literature, before taking
up the long past That each
and every member was benefit
ted, and added something to her
stock of knowledge of our own
times, goes without saying. This
is always true when Il number of
men or women meet together
and exchange ideas and informa-
ton. When they separate each
and every one goes away with
moro knowledge than when they
came. Then, too, these meet
ings were something to look for
ward to, as a relief, change
from the dreary, monotonous rou-
tine of household duties to some
thing broader, higher, more
stimulating. There was the
natural desire on the part of
every member to do her very
best with the part assigned to
her. The writer knows that it
led to reading, studying and in
yestigating from the fact that
number of times he was APP
preached by members for infOr
mation-not the information on
a particular subject itself, but
for the sources of information on
some given subject, the loan of
books and papers.
The most brief definition of
civilization is neutrality-suspicious.
ledge in it's broadcast sense.
Just as ignorance is the shortest
definition of barbarism. Our
present civilization rests on the
general diffusion of knowledge
The Greeks represent the highest
type of civilization because they
were the most learned, the most
polished, of all the ancient peo-
pies.
The woman's club is endeav-
oring to stimulate desire for
knowledge, and it is our desire
to encourage this endeavor in
every way we can.
The past week the club had
printed very neat program of
the next six months work, in
the form of q booklet, for dis
tribution among the members
and their friends. An interest
ing and instructive course of
study has been laid out.
There is q social feature Of
these meetings which can be
made very enjoyable, and the
women certainly need all the
diversion and recreation they
can get. From mans point of
view woman's life must neces-
sarily be but a dreary round at
best, hemmed in as she is by
the conventions and limitations
Of society
May the women's club grow
and flourish as a green bay, and
may much pleasure, much good
and lots of wisdom be the por-
ton of every member.

TIMELY CALLING.
How the Pastor Saved a Lif

How the Pastor Saved a Life.
A man near Fort Gay, w. Va, made
an entire failure in getting strength
from the kind of food he ate and not
knowing that the trouble was with
the food kept on losing health until
the doctors gave him up to die.
1t was supposed to be consumption
because he was wasting away stead
lily and slowly dying. His minister
called from time to time and one day
brought along a package of Grape
Nuts, thinking from what he knew
of the famous food that perhaps it
might help him. The sick man took
to it at once and from that day began
to get well. In writing he says:
q walked to town to-day miles.
Have gained over 40 pounds in about
months and my neighbors don't
know what 10 say. l frequently am
told it was as if 1 am raised from
the dead Everybody here knows of
my case. you can tell people to write
to the Postmaster or Rev. L. D. Bryan.
1 will make sworn statement that
Grape-Nuts saved my life Name
given by Postum Co.. Battle Creek.
Mich.
This is another illustration that
where all other food fails one can
be brought back to health and
strength on Grape-Nuts. There's a
reason"
Look in each pkg. for the famous
little book. 1.-THE RoaS to Wellville.'

IN A PRAIRIE LAND.
Editorial Correspondence
Moose Jaw, Assinibois

Farmers Review,
Chicago, July %, 1905.
Most of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist. Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies still
stretch grandly from horizon to hori-
ION as yet unmarried by the hand of
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there is
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps of trees mark the
course of the Assiniboine river, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape of Western
Canada. 1t is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cifc railway from its eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points, but
never to the exclusion of grass. There
is thus not mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose-either for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is town of over 1000
inhabitants, and one of the most i'm
portant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of very good farming coun-
try and great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranehing go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen q herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen a good sized
herd of dairy cows, the property of
the citizens in the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
Stories were told the writer of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which it was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
of the large crop and high price for
wheat last year. Henry F. Thurston.
By sending your address to any
agent of the Canadian Government
you will have mailed to you a copy of
an atlas, railway rates, etc., giving
fullest information regarding Western
Canada.

For years the editor has been urging
farmers to SOW Alfalfa Glover, and
glad he is that thousands of wide
awake farmers scattered all over Amer
lea, are doing this now, to their great
benefit and satisfaction.
A Walford, Westlore Farms, Pa,
writes: Il have go acres in Salzer's AL
falfa Glover. 1t is immense. cut
three crops this season and have lots
of pasture besides"
Hon. H. F. Hunter, S. D., says, SAL
zer's Northern Grown Alfalfa clover
cannot be beat. I have solved the
question of stock raising here. Salzer's
Alfalfa is good for 8 rousing crops of
hay, Salzer's Speltz for GO bu. of grain
and tons of hay, SalZer's Macaroni
Wheat for 65 bu. best hog fattening
wheat, and Salzer's Hanna Barley, for
arid, dry land, is good for 70 blu per
acre. These are all great hog, sheep
and cattle fatteners, and last but not
least. Salzer's Victoria Rape for sheep
and Salzer's Teosinte, good for so tons
of green food for cattle, and Salzer' s
Billion Dollar Grass Bromus Inermis
for lots and lots of good hay. These
things make it possible for me to grow
live stock by the thousands.

.REAssUREs CHINA
pramIses to Respect Her Territorial and
Property Rights.
ALSO RESPECT HER NEUTRALITY.
The Present War Is Not Being waged
By The Japanese For Conquest, But
In Defense OF Her Legitimate
Rights.

Toxic, Feb. %. = The response of
statement of its position in regard to
the neutrality of the latter country
is made public. Its text is as follows:
'The imperial government, desiring
to avoid as far as possible the disturb
ance of the peaceful condition of affairs
which prevails in China, will, in all
parts of China territory excepting the
regions now occupied by Russia, re-
spect the neutrality of China, so long
as Russia does the same.
1.-THE rules of war which govern the
forces of Japan in the field do not per-
NIT the wanton destruction of property.
Accordingly, the imperial Chinese. gov
eminent may rest assured that the
mausoleums and palaces of Mukden
and Hsingking and public buildings
in China everywhere will be secure
from any injury not attributable to the
action of Russia.
Furthermore, the rights of Chinese
officials and inhabitants within the
zone of military operations will, in
their persons and property, be fully
respected and protected by the i'm
perial forces, SO far as military neces-
sity permits In the event, however,
that they should extend aid and COM
fort to the enemy of Japan the imperial
government reserve to themselves the
right to take such action as the cir
cumstances require.
SIT only remains to say, in conclu-
sion, that the present war is not being
waged by the japanese for the purpose
of conquest but solely in defense of her
legitimate rights and interests, and
consequently the imperial government
have no intention to acquire territory
at the expense of China as result OF
| the conflict.
THE imperial government also wish
the imperial Chinese government clear
| ly to understand that whatever action
may be taken by them on Chinese ter
ritory which is made the theater oil
war will be the result of military nee
essity, and not impairment of Chinese
| sovereignty"

DR.. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from a Catholic institution in Detroit,

DR. S. B. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:

the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for
