Wornan's Clubs
Friday Morning Club

There was an hour Of travel at the
Friday Morning club yesterday. INTO
the ouaintest of little German villages
and along the Dutch water front
through miles of dyke land, the mem
hers travelled under the guidance OF
Mrs. Ella p. Hubbard and Mrs. Morris
Cohn.
In the paper given by Mrs. Hub
bard she painted picture of the
Hollander who strives year aftef
year to protect his land from the In
roads of the sea, building dykes and
keeping them in perfect condition.
One of the points upon which Mrs.
Hubbard dwelt was that the master
who owns large tracts of land is as
watchful of his dykes and would be as
ready to set to work to repair them II
in danger as the man who has only a
plot with a hut. The life of the peo-
pie of Holland and the front which
the country presents to an outsider
was also spoken Of.
The little country village of Lou
beau, in a remote part of Germany
where Mrs. Cohn spent some time
while abroad, was the setting for
paper which moved the members of
the club to enthusiastic applause.
Mrs. Cohn is the only American wo-
man who had ever visited this little
German settlement, and her clothes.

ever new delight and wonder to the
people. They wanted to know all
about America. "the land of gold and

my short skirts were one of the
things about me which attracted most
attention, " said Mrs. Cohn. 1.-The Ger
man women always wear trains on
their skirts and these trains are usual
ly allowed to sweep along the ground.
They all voted that mine was the SEN
sible dress and did not hesitate to ad-
vocate reform along the lines of dress
and yet no one was ever brave enough
to go without the train.
Another thing at which they were
disturbed was my appetite. The Ger

meals a day, and they are not salts

From the pure fountain of nature flows
the stream of energy and health, which
renews and invigorates our race. In
every period of the worlds progress men
have received their greatest strength
and inspiration direct from nature. 1t
is the greatest teacher and developer of
mankind. Not only do we get inspira-
ton from nature, but health as we'll.
To live in the open, in the sunshine, in
the fields or woods, drinking pure air
into the lungs, is best for those who
have the opportunity. For people who
are rundown. nervous, suffering from
occasional indigestion or dyspepsia,
headaches, night-sweats, whose machin-
cry has become worn, it becomes neces-
sary to turn to some tonic or strength
ener which will help them to get on
their feet and put the body into its
proper condition. For centuries it has
been known that natures most valuable
health-giving agents are found in plants
r. " Pierce, consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at
Buffalo, N. ", discovered that by scien-
tifcally extracting and combining GER
tain medicinal principles from roots
taken from the fields and woods and
making into an Alternative extract pro-
duced results in the system which was
satisfactory in almost every case of blood
disorder and stomach trouble. This con-
centrated extract of natures vitality
purifies the blood by putting the stomach
into healthy condition, helping the as
similation OF food which feeds the blood
and arousing the liver into activity.
Nervousness and sleeplessness are usu-
ally due to the fact that the nerves are
not fed on properly nourishing blood.
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
makes pure, rich blood, and thereby all
the organs of the body are run smoothly,
like the machinery which runs In oil.
In this way you feel clean, strong and
strenuous-you feel braced up, and you
are good. for a whole lot of physical or
mental work. Best of all, the strength
and increase in vitality and health are
lasting. The trouble with most tonics
and medicines which have large sale
for short time is that they are largely
composed of alcohol holding the drugs
in solution. This alcohol fairly shrinks
up the red blood corpuscles, and so one
may feel exhilarated and better for the
time being, yet in the end weakened and
with vitality decreased. E1'ery bottle of
Dy. Peyre's Golden Medical Discovery
bears tie stamp of bH6Iic Approval. For
the druggist to offer you something he
claims IS ojust as good" is to insult
your intelligence. What you want is a
remedy aitEom alcohol, and one which
has stood the test of time.
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
does not contain alcohol. The proof Is
easy. TEST The white of an egg will
quickly coagulate in alcohol and drop to
the bottom of a test-tube-whereas it
will mix with this medicine and not
precipitate.

Comrades-From copies Of our con-
stitution, bylaws and circular letters
sent out, you are doubtless aware Of
the objects Of this organization, also
that its completion will take place on
Thursday, Sept. 2Sth.
By order of the general commanding
this meeting Of delegates to perfect our
organization, will be held in Nashville
on the above mentioned date and the
place Of sssemblsge will be hereafter
announced.
Thus far the camps Of the stare have
had no voice or representation in the
administration Of Confederate affairs
in Tennessee. They have held no state
reunions OF their own, nor have they
been permitted to participate in the an.
nual reunions Of the State Association
Of Confederate Soldiors, which is com
posed Of bivouacs. The sole cause Of
their disability isolation and ostracism
is the want Of Just such 81 orgsniza-
ton as this ve are forming and as e1-
lists in every state in the south except
Tennessee. By reason Of death, dis
ability and distance the attendance Of
old soldiers at our general associations
reunions IS yearly diminishing, and it
is safe to predict tha. in a few more
years these reunions will cease to exist.
Hence the importance Of becoming at
tached to and identified With 4 legal
State Division of Camps and having
reunions within the limits Of our OWL
state.
Every camp in Tennessee should be
/ long to and be represented in the State
Division Of United Confederate Veter-
ans. Such membership viii not inter
fere with bivoEAc organizations, loca
or state, but will bring all camps int
one division in consonance with likl
divisions OF camps in all the other
states.
| We therefore urge that you call you
members together at an early day. for
ward your application for Membership
and appoint delegates to represent yoJ
in Nashville Sept. 18th.
