THE TOPEKA CLUB WOMAN.

Settlement work in general. the
Boys club in the Parkdale schoolhouse
in particular, will largely monopolize
the attention of the city federation for
the spring and summer. To carry on
this work, started during the last ad
ministration by the last civics commit
tee, and to put 1t on a substantial, per
manent basis, is the object which the
new civics committee, Mrs. Walter L.
Bates, chairman, has suggested for the
federation's principal philanthropfcal
work this year, and the enthusiasm
with which her scheme was greeted at
the called meeting Of the federation at
the 7. W. Q. A. rooms Thursday morn
ing, seemed to augur success for the
undertaking. It was decided to reopen
the Parkdale school house for the
Boys club for two evening meetings
a week and to secure the services Of
man to take charge OF the work for
an experimental trial Of two months
and the money necessary to carry on
this work for that length Of time was
subscribed by the women present at
the meeting.
The last civfcs committee, Mrs. J. P.
Carnahan, chairman, started the east
side settlement work. The board Of
education granted the federation the
use Of the abandoned Parkdale school
house rent free. and a reading room
playground, and gymnasium were fitted
I'D and a Boys club and Girls club
started. A free kindergarten was also
maintained for a time but an epidemic
Of diphtheria caused it to be closed
and it has not since been resumed.
Mrs. Carnahan and the members Of
her committee worked hard and faith
fully to establish the work and keep It
going. but 1t was a serious undertaking
financially cramped as the committee
was, and when the new chairman, Mrs.
Walter L. Bates, succeeded to the re-
sponsibiIity she saw that 1t was impos-
sible to keep the work going under
those conditions. The club women
have not the time nor the strength to
devote to the work personally and the
only practical way to carry It on, in
her opinion, was to secure the services
Of a competent man to take charge Of

VALUE OF CHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful It Is in
Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature. but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same
cleansing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it Is not a
drug at all. but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present IN
the stomach and Intestines and carries
them out Of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking. drinking or after eating
onions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effect2aIly clears ana i'm
proves the complexion. it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious easss which
collect in the stomach and bowels. i
disinfects the mouth and throat ron
the poison of catarrh.
