Blue-grass blade., 1908-08-02

fore it. 49,.
Harriet M. Closz has been an Industrious
member of the Press Writer'S Association.
She has done much writing on the vital
problems of the day, and has had hear
ing in most of the representative papers
in the United States in controversy with
many able writer's on their solution This
brilliant Iowa woman has written much in
verse and her poems have appeared IN the
leading papers and magazines of our coun-
try. Her lines not only flow in rhythmic
cadences, but she deals with great ques-
tons that leave a lasting impression on
account of her vivid pen portraiture. Her
poem 'The Womans Burden" has genuine
merit and presents the whole woman ques-
ton in a nutshell. 1t first appeared In
the Chicago Chronicle and was widely
copied and is still being printed by metro
politan and rural press. What Ration
alist Would Do" "a Christian Woman"
"Men Who Work the Farm and "The
Old Grindstone" are among her best poems
and have been widely read. In the near
future Mrs Close will issue a volume OF
poems which will be an acquisition to
American literature.
Harriet M. Closz is also an attractive
and instructive public speaker. With win
ming personality and an expressive face
clear cut as cameo, she at once rivets
the attention of her hearers. Her voice,
with it's semi-contralto Tone has a peculiar
charm. DR.. Wyscarver, a savant and scien-
fist of Cincinnati, Ohio, says that as
platform speaker she Is superior to most
of the women orators of our country. Mrs.
Closz has something to say and knows how
to say it, and this stamps her as an orator.
She hopes in the future to follow this line
of work. Let us hope that she will do so,
for she will be a tower of strength to
the cause of Rationalism in the United
States.
oIv;ct II; Cd hx,
man came death by man also came the
resurrection of the dead Rationalists
realize that since by woman came life, by
woman will the race be lifted to a higher
life, under the reign of reason, and such
women as Harriet M. Closz are fastening
this evolution.
The health of Mrs Close failed about
two years ago and failing to restore it by
many remedies she determined to try a
protracted fast She took absolutely no
food for fortyfve days, but drank freely
of water Her normal weight is 120 pounds
but when she concluded her fast she
weighed but so pounds. She was greatly
benefited by this long fast and is now re-
stored to health and her normal weight.
From childhood Harriet NJ Closz has
realized the majesty of individuality. and
her lifes bane has been the ingraned idea
of being suppressed by authorized agents
Of the conventional.
Thus have all the spontaneous express
sions of nature been repressed.
Mrs. Close is a strong advocate OF crema-
ton as sanitary measure, and has written
fine articles on this subject. To portray
the life and work of this brilliant Iowa
woman is impossible. as she is now in the
heyday of womanhood. With conviction
and courage she has beaten down the
bane of conventionalsm. She has joined
the select company Of mental aristocrats,
who through struggle and war. torture
and terror have defed superstition and
tyranny. with regal reason. undaunted
