GOOD WORK AMONG FlLlPlNos
Women's Club Responsible for Amel.
ioration Of Conditions.

The Philippine Women's club, the
first of its kind in the Philippines. is
struggling to supplement its work Of
supplying sterilized milk to sickly, ill
fed infants by establishing a small
maternity hospital and training class
for maternity nurses. This club was
due to a suggestion from Miss Con.
cepcion Felix, who was at the time a
student of law and who in the course
Of her studies became interested in the
woman movement in the western
countries. This was in the summer of
1905, and Miss Felix's suggestion was
SO enthusiastically received that a
club with a membership of several
hundred native women was quickly
formed.
Having determined to establish a
center for the distribution of pure
milk, the club gave q garden party in
the palace grounds for the purpose of
raising the necessary funds. More
than $500 was cleared at this enter.
tainment and the sterilizing apparatus
was imported from Paris. A building
was contributed by Dr. Doherty and
the work begun under the personal
supervision Of number Of well-known
Filipino physicians.
At present the number of children
cared for is between so and Is. The
sterilizing department is said to be q
little model of its kind.

Debility. In every case where We fail
to effect cure, We will not charge cent
for the medicine employed during the
trial. Now, surely no one should hesitate
to believe US or to pu: our claim to q
practical test under such conditions.
We take all the risk, no one else can
lose anything by the transaction.
We make these statements and this,
offer because we know and have time

SPEED CONTESTS WITH BULL:
Form Of Sport That Is Extremely Pop

A form of sport very popular in
Burma is bull racing. These contests
are largely attended by the natives,
who bet considerable sums of money
on the result. A native sportsman
who owns one of these bulls, values it

in an annual income of from $1,000 tc

Sneezjno as an Art.

Yesterday" said the pretty girl. Il
met a sneezing teacher. l don't mean
a teacher who sneezes, but a person
who teaches other people how tc
sneeze. I had always understood that
New York attracts instructors in every
art known to modern education, but q
professor of sneezing struck me as 3
decided novelty.
Il am going to take few lessons
The professor argues that he is very
useful member of society. Nobody, he
claims, can prevent sneezing, no mat
ter how many formulas and medica
ments may be absorbed. But though
a sneeze may not be avoided it may
be cultivated, and from a stertOrous
snort it may be modifiedinto a gentle
melodious trill. For anybody who is
likely to startle the neighborhOod with
freqent sneezes the experiment is vel;
worth while"

Some Birds That Don't Migrate.

1T is a curious thing" said Prof
Henry Bird, an ornithologist of Rye
N. Y, at the Rennert, that birds OF
European origin do not adopt the mi
gratory habits of our native birds. The
English sparrow never seems to get
wise to the advantages of going south
in winter to avoid the rigors of {
northern climate, though he might ge'
the tip from our wild fowl or the
robin family. OF late years we have
had in Westchester county the start
ing, also an English importation, and !.
notice that this newcomer follows out
the exact ways of his predecessor, the
sparrow, in that he stays constantly
in one place, regardless Of the sea
sons."-Baltimore American.

John Vaught. writes to bis father from

the price asked for potatoes is S1.75 per

produce potatoes for the entire world,
but for some unaccountable reason does
not raise enough to supply the home de-

potatoes are 90 high in Oklahoma. Only
