social Work.

The following is the yearly report of
the social work of the Young Mems
Christian Association of Keokuk Iowa
Ten meetings of the Social Commit
tee as a whole were held and much
larger number of meetings of the sub
committees into which the main com
mithee was divided.
The social life of the building and
good fellowship among the members
has been greatly increased by the in
stallment of the Billiard and Pool
tables in the building.
The tables were installed and paid
for at an expense of $3.50. This
money was raised by the social com
mittee largely in a one days canvass
during last July by selling billiard and
pool stock for that amount to the men,
bers of the association.
The pool table has been used by 2S35
persons and the billiard table by Ice
persons, making total of 394S people
using them since their installation.
Two successful tournaments have been
held during this year.
The receipts from games have been
s17S.51; the expense for maintaining
the room has been $254.3o, supplies
and repairs s25.25, leaving deficit of
$101O4.
Many sick members have been
visited and flowers sent to The
sick during the year.
The following special social features
have been given by the association
during the yAar. Annual meeting

LACK OF BLOOD
A Source Of Great Danger to
Growing Girls.

What anamia is, how to recognize it
and the value of the tonic treatment
with DR.. Williams Pink Pills should be
known by the mother of every growing
girl.
Armenia is simply lack of blood.
1t is one of the most common and
dangerous diseases with which growing
girls suffer.
1t is common because the blood so
often becomes impoverished during de-
velopment, when girls are too frequently
allowed to oyerstudy, overwork and
suffer from lack of exercise. 1t is dam
gerous because of the stealthiness of its
approach, often being well developed
before its presence is recognized, and
because of its tendency to grow SO steadi-
~ worse, if not promptly checked, that
it may run into consumption.
The value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
in all cases of anRmia, is well shown in
the case of Miss Mabel Glenzer, of No.

Religious Work Committee.

Religious Work Committee.
To the Members of the Y. NJ. C. A.
Gentlemen: If we estimate the sue
cess of the religious work of the Y. NJ.
G. A. during the past year and indeed
in the past three years, by the attend
ance at the Sunday afternoon meet
ing, it must be acknowledged that
there has been a steady decline, the
attendance has regularly decreased
during the past three years. For
tunately, however, Sunday meetings
constitute only one division of relig-
ious work activity.
The Bible study classes, the foreign
work and the shop work have been
continuously carried on during the
past year, with most gratifying results.
The foreign work is a growing one,
both in size and quality. Great good
is being accomplished in Bangalore
among the leading races there-the
English, the Hindu and the Moham-
medans. Mr.. Wards work has been
extremely successful, and the commit
tee have only feeling of satisfaction
of having promoted the founding of
this work in India.
Most of the shop work during the
year has been in the form of Bible
classes and while it has not reached
the full measure of success desired by
the committee the work mas been an
important one.
Following is the tabulated statement
of the attendance on the various gath
erings.

were present At o'clock a supper
was enjoyed which had been arranged
by The Ladies Auxiliary, an organiza-
ton which has done excellent work
during the past week.
Following the supper reports of the
various committees were seen and
heard and from the reports made by
the various committees the Young
Mems Christian Association has GER
tainly been active in all departments
during the past twelve months. All of
the committees seemed to have taken
hold of their special part of the work
with enthusiasm and pushed it on with
great success. In the committees re-
ports last evening new feature was
introduced which was great improve
ment over the old method of reading
