proportions-song and sentiment lead
ing. DR.. Ophuls, professor of patholo-
gy and bacteriology at Cooper's, gave
a technical and practical talk on tuber-
culosis. While none of the guests or
members contemplate taking tuber-
culosis in order to test the physicians
theories, the talk was really interesting
and of benefit
1t would seem that tuberculosis and
it's treatment are more than of passing
interest, for here is the Council of Jew
ish Women considering it at its last

How's this for the cause of equal
suffrage? The Susan B. Anthony Club
met on the 18th at the residence Of
Mrs. Nellie Holbrook- Blinn, 1885 Post
street, and here's what happened: Dis
cussions were on as to the convention
held in Los Angeles on October and s,
and enthusiasm was running high. But
let enthusiasm run ever so high, with
out dollars nothing much happens. so
subscriptions to the cause was called
for.
Promptly Mrs. William Keith of
Berkeley responded with an eloquent
though brief speech as follows:
Madame Chairman - Permit me to
subscribe $500" Now, that's the kind
Of eIoquence that says something. Soon
others followed. among whom were
Mrs. Mary Sperry, who contributed
500; Mrs. Mary H. Johnson, 500.
Inside of a half hour s110O was
raised for the cause of equal suffrage
and constitutional rights.
And, by the way, the name of the
association has been officially changed
from 1.-The California Woman's Suf-
frage Association" to 1.-The California
