Crown Point. Ind. Oct s.-The Indi-
ana Federation of woman's clubs was
given out IN the following article to
be printed in the leading papers of the
state which will be of interest to Lake
County club women in general.
Any thoughtful observer of the trend
of the times cannot fail to recognize
the tremendous force woman is proving
in these revolutionary days of social
reforms. Many of the reform move
ments which are beginning to bear
fruit can be directly traced to agita-
ton started by womants organiza tons
Among the strongest factors to ac-
complish these reforms has been the
womn's club movement whose first con-
certed action dates back to late in the
sixties. upon the organization of
Sorosfs. of New York The early efforts
of this woman's movement have within
the past twenty-five years been crys-
talized through the formation of ma
tional and state declarations. Under
hese organizations womans work for
reforms has steadily gained in its in
fiuence and diversity of usefulness.
The splendid work which these or
CARNATIONS are accomplishing is only
realized by those who are watching
this growing constituency. It reads
not the eye of a critica lobserver to
discern that great womans move
ment is on foot. The time has come
when he who runs may read.

One OF the occupations intrfn-
sically healthful Is housework.
Too much Homework or too few

average of the houseworker Is
very high. One thing Is neces-
sary to lift 1t from the realm
of drudEery and that IL respect
for the work itself and for
the work itself and for what 1t
MEANS. Given respect, the en-
thusiasm which makes all work
