Adolphus explained very carefully, not

Work Of Womsn's Clubs.

There is some prejudice. as well as
lack of Information. In articles occa-
sionally seen on the subject Of wom-
ems clubs and the movement they rep
resent. The erroneous view taken is
that the clubs in some way antagonize
the home. Nothing could be furt-. er
from the truth. No agency Is doing
more for the home than women's
clubs and in none are the efforts APP
piled more intelligently. The general
federation. with which the state feder-
atoms are in close touch. maintains
standing committees on the labor OF
children. household economics, educa-
tion, pure food, civics, library extern
sion and forestry. All these subjects
are intimately related to home life.
All are of legislative interest: and to
set them lucidly before legislative bod.
les is not only the privilege. but the
duty OF citizens regardless OF sex.
There is no fear that there will be too
