CLARA c. HOFFMAN

Faithful Life Work Ended

Mrs. Clara c. Hoffman, state president of the
w. c. T. U. of Missouri, for the last quarter of
century, and of the best known leaders of
the w. C. T. U. of the United States, died at
her home in Kansas City on February 10 and was
laid to rest with appropriate honors by her friends
and fellow workers, on Sunday, February 16.
Few among the leaders of the W. c. T. u. have
served the cause more faithfully and more
heroically than Mrs Hoffman, and to few have
been accorded more of the love and devotion of
their comrades. Of recent years the weight of
age and the wear of service have rested heavily
upon her, but her old-time fire and interest in
the cause have never suffered eclipse She will
be long remembered both for her abilities and for
her DEVOTION as we'll for the qualities of heart
and life that made her beloved by her fellow
workers.

case of this kind was brought before
the Warsaw courts the other day. The
charge was laid against work by
certain Gustave Baunfeld as being OF
a nature likely to arouse its readers
to revolutionary actions" The dock
was empty, and evidence was given
by the police, who had confiscated the
book. The verdict was pronounced
against the book, and amounted to an
order that II should be burned. The
explanation OF this peculiar incident
is that the book in question was dis
covered by the police while still in

the author nor the publisher was held
