Charter Membership 23o.-The new
Davenport Women's club had thought
c to begin its work with some 200 char

time of 230 names and the list will
not be closed-probably until the
board meeting-to those who still wish
to come in. The first regular meeting
of the club was called for Thursday,
March 10, but was necessarily post
poned until Monday, March ID, when

Contagious Blood Poison is at the bottom of great
many old blood troubles. The disease may have been
contracted ago and treatment used that
moved the outward symptoms and the virus up In
the system to sluber in the blood but it only awaited
favorable opportunity to break out in form again.
Certain forms of catarrhal troubles especially where
the bones affected, scrofulous affections nonheaing
Sores liberated membranes etc. are due to this specific
poison Perhaps many who afflicted in this way
ignorant OF the fact that the seeds of this mighty poison
still hidden in the blood Like the deadly serpent
which dangerous long the fantest spark life
left to enable it to sink its poisonous angs this powerful
disease will corrupt and dee while the least particle of
its insidious virus remains in the blood

manhood. Her term as Department
President of Colorado was extremely
satisfactory to the membership of her

Post to which it is affiliated, and this is

find them of great assistance to our
Post. Another thing: The Sons of Vet

title at all, but merely to perpetuate the
heroic deeds of the Grand Army, the
same as the Sons of the American Rev

An Amendment TO BE Offered PrOvid-
ing for Closer Relations.

Editor National Tribune: An amend
ment 10 the Constitution will be pre-
sented by the Department Of Connecti-
cut, G. A r.. admitting the Sons of
Veterans to Post meetings Except dur
ing mustcr). Now, this is as ii ought
to be. There is no order so closely afTi-
lated with the G. A. r. as the Sons of
Veterans; none better entitled to rec
ognition than they. They are our own
kin, as none but the son of "A veteran,
certified as such by his fathers dis
charge, can become a member OF their
order, consequently he is entitled to
some recognition by us. Now / ap-
prove of giving them the privilege TO
sit with us in our meetings, as is pro-
posed by the amendment offered. BY
IL they have no voice or vote on any
thing at our meetings. They are mere
ly accorded the privilege of sitting in
our Post meetings, and / believe IL will
be a benefit instead of a detriment to
both organizations bringing each in
closer touch with the other. Now, as 1

der date of Aug. Is, a remark as fol-
