The Church and the woman's Club.

Within the memory of living men there
were no women's clubs; but there were
churches everywhere, and their constit-
uency was largely Of women.
Today We have thousands upon thou

St. Johnsbury People Warned Not To
Drink Water.

Notices were served at st. Johnsbury
Thursday of last week on all the patrons
of the village water system, forbidding
them to use the water system for drink
ing purposes and only allowing the use
of the water for other than drinking
purposes. The order was issued by the
state board Of health and affects about
$50 patrons of the village system. The
state board of health had previously con-
demned the water supply, which is the
Passumpsic river, for potable use and
gave the village until July 1, 1906, to
make other arrangements.
Several largely attended meetings were
held last year looking to a new munich
pal plant but the project was abandoned.
Most of the residents of the village OBJ
tain their water from the st. Johnsbury
Aqueduct company, a private corporation
owned by E. & T. Fairbanks & Co.,
whose sourse of supply is Stiles's pond In
the neighboring town of Waterford The
village system is used largely for fire pur-
poses and private hose supplies.

BE A BUSINESS MAN.

No matter what your vocation
may be, you must be a business
man first or you will always be
placed at great disadvantage in
the practical affairs Of life. We
cannot entirely ignore the money
side OF existence any more than
we can the food side, and the very
foundation Of practical, success
full life is the ability to know how
to. manage the money side effec
lively.
1t is infinitely harder to save
money and to invest it wisely than
to make it, and if even the most
practical men, men who have had
a long training in scientific bust
ness methods, find it a difficult
thing to hold on to the money af.
ter they make it, what is likely to
happen to people who have had
practically no training in business
methods?
If every child in America had a
thorough business training tens of
thousands ofpromoters, long head
ed, cunning schemers, who have
thrived on the peoples ignorance,
would be out of an occupation.
l believe that the business col
leges are among the greatest bless
ings in American civilization to-
day, because they have saved
thousands Of homes from being
wrecked and have made happy and
comfortable tens of thousands of
people who might otherwise be
living in poverty and wretched-
ness.-Success Magazine.
