The Woman's Club held a meeting
Wednesday which should have in
terested every member, the subject
for the afternoon being Compulsory
Education.
The president being absent, the
vice president, Mrs. E. X. Farmer,
presided Only fourteen members
responded to roll call but those pres
ent enjoyed and appreciated the
imprompta program furnished.
Owing to a misunderstanding those
who were expected to take part in
the debate we're. not prepared; but
the afternoon was by no means a
failure, for Mrs. Lee, who had charge,
was equal to all disapointments and
gave not only an instructive talk
herself, but called upon others for
interesting facts regarding Compul-
(sory Education. Mrs. Harold Beall,
Mrs. E. A. Russell, Mrs Gelders, and
Mrs, Willis read selections from pa
pers which were to the point and
were all in favor of the passage OF
this bill.
Mrs. E. E. Sans told us of educa-
tional matters in North Carolina, of
their "Betterment Association" a
society of women who work for the
advancement of education in that
state and what Education had done
for the children.
Mrs. Claudia Hoover told of the
progress Montana had made and
related an amusing anecdote in
connection with that most necessary
person, the truant officer.
Altho the arguments advanced,
the statements made, the clippings
read were interesting, as a debate
the program was a failure, for the
reason that it was all on one side.
Not one fact was given that proved
Compulsory Education failure in
the states where it has been tried.

CAUSE QlnNAIccC

One reason so many people take
cold during the winter months, &C
cording to a well known authority,
is the hot, dry atmosphere indoors,
due to imperfect heating. If we
were as careful to keep the air in
our rooms moist as we are to keep
them warm, there would be less oc-
casion for cough medicine than is
now the cause.
OF all the so-calIed minor ills of
the body, there is none the neglect
of which is so liable to result SER
iously as the common cold" The
cough irritates the mucous mem
brane of the throat, lungs and bron-
chial organs, leaving them sore and
inviting attack from the countless
germs OF dread tuberculosis which
infect the air we breathe.
A simple. inexpensive cough med
icine can be made by mixing two
ounces of glycerine, a half-ounce of
Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure
and eight ounces of pure whisky.
Shake well and take a teaspoonful
every four hours. 1t will break up
a cold quickly and cure any cough

The university school for housekeep.
ers is held annually the last two weeks
of January Two years ago l attended
for the first time, and my eyes dilated
with wonder at the many new and en-
joyable ways of housekeeping that
were presented to us, and besides
practical knowledge, higher ideals OF
living. When 1 returned home a new
interest returned with me- The zeal
1 showedson entering our kitchen was
noticed by the members OF our home
circle. and it was decided that the
servant girl was not necessary requi-
site any longer. I took pride in see
ing how many different ways 1 was

How a Girl Can Get More Clothes.
This year at Urbana besides practice
in cooking we had practice in cutting
out, fitting and making a shirt waist,
and we had demonstration work on
the cutting and hanging of a skirt.
Why should not a girl invest few
dollars in practical knowledge Of this
kind and save her parents or husband
the expense of a large dressmaker's
bill for life. 1t, would certainly pay.
The girl OF today that earns just an
ordinary income but is rich IN the
knowledge of sewing will be able to
have three times the amount of
clothes that another girl earning the
same income could have, without that
knowledge. Several lectures were
given on clothing pertaining to the
quality. cost and selecting the right
kind
We were taught the selection of
different kinds of meats, and how to
cook them so that the protein would
not be indigestible We were taught
to make bread by the quick and long
processes. We were taught how to
make coffee and tea so they would
not be poisonous: how to prepare and
cook good wholesome food which
should be found on all tables; also
food for invalids: how to serve meals.

THE SACRIFICE
OF BOB VERNON


The air was portentous of grea
happenings and Louise Pierce knew
before parting the portieres and enter
ing the dimly lighted room that Arm
strong had come to ask reward for the
long months of his wooing and to
make the last onslaught against the
citadel of her heart.
Armstrong, handsome, dashing, with
just suggestion of dissipation in his
lean face and with rather the air of
unwisely expended nervous force about
his speech and actions. put all the ar
dor of his nature into winning this
beautiful woman. Just CLINT of sat
conquering love in his eyes when
Louise allowed her arms to creep shy
ly and slowly up to his shoulders and
around his neck as he crushed her in
his arms.
This is happiness, happiness, hap
piLess," she murmured to herself
again and again as she watched Arm
strong's nervous stride carry him from
the house an hour later Her heart
beat in palpitating rhythm to his ev-
cry step. His ardor had swept away
doubt.
The words of love and bind hope
that felt haitingly from the stammer
ing lips of Bob Vernon as he sat, bash
full as a schoolboy, at her side on the
evening following the eventful after
noon, caused her genuine heart pangs.
She had tried to check him; but he
had gone ahead in the same persist
ent, plodding fashion in which he did
everything else Frankly she told him
of her acceptance of his rival; and
with touching generosity of feeling, he
wished her happiness of her choice.
