have and the best will come back to
you"
And the best that the world of
knowledge and experience can give has
come back to the members Of the State
Federation of Womens Clubs, who
closed their three days session last
evening, one of the brightest and most
successful in its history and one which
will go down with honors in the annals
of Los Angeles.
Seated in the midst of many beauti-
full floral offerings, the gifts of admir-
ing members and friends of the fedora
tion, Mrs. George Law Smith, ever
regal, beautiful and gracious, per-
formed her last official act in the
pleasant address in which she officially
bade farewell to her friends.
Mrs. Smith, however, is not to be
lost to the federation, for with her re-
fusal to be a candidate for a second
term was thrust on her the office of
secretary of the General Federation of
Womens Clubs, which will meet next
year at st. Paul.
Scores Mischievous Pictures
In the morning session Buster Brown
came near being annihilated, when
Mrs. George Barnes Bird read a
bright paper on Juvenile Literature. "
and in the discussion which followed
the comic sections of the daily paper
came in for a place among the things
which should be eliminated from child
literature. Buster Brown was the
principal offender, but lack of time
proved his salvation and he will still
reign for the amusement of the little
ones.
Prior to this address Miss frankie
Glenn wiles gave two vocal selections.
The reports and addresses were then
taken up and Mrs. Robert Devlin of
Sacramento talked in bright manner
on Portfolio Possibilities"

the chairman, Mrs. r. p. Hill of the
Sonoma Valley Women's club; How to

port by the chairman, Mrs. Robert
Watt of the New Century club, Oak
land; "The Little Gods" chatting dish
demonstration, Miss Kate Whitaker,
superintendent of domectic science
ir the school department of San Fran
cisco.
The best address, however, and one
which met with the hearty approval of
every one was given by Mrs. Charles
Woodbury. of the Oakland New Country
club who in a series of witty remarks
caused much merriment among the
listeners. Mrs. Woodbury's subject
was THE Little Gods and in the
course of her remarks in reference to
the ideal home and it's workers she
said, II once had a diplomaed domestic

Domestic a Harsh Critic
THE kitchen was too large, 1 brought
ir wall. The pantry too small,
broke out wall. Both ranges out of
date by two years, 1 needed others.
My cooking utensils were nondescript
and no color scheme prevailed. We
three, the diploma, assistant and myself
decided upon medium blue most diff
ficult to secure. Walls were tiled and
dotted swiss graced the windows with
a side effect of Japanese toweling. The
linoleum was pulled up from the floor
and tiles laid around the ranges, a sort
of fancy cement covering the rest of
the floor.
by this time 1 had spent considera-
bly, over 5000 and nearly three weeks
had elapsed. We had not as yet tasted
one mouthful of cooked food. We were
properly nourished, however, on grape
nuts. excelsior and nuttolene.
Finally everything was complete
the color scheme perfect even to the
funnel.
Have Everything but Food
you could stand in the middle of the
room and reach any article in any part
of the room. The pantry looked like q
cold storage plant. The meals were q
little unusual but all along health
lines. The proper amount of proteids

Of fruits lies i'm the potash combined

The antisconbutic value of fruits is due
TO these constituents. Was not that
