Club women are receiving many con-
gratulations upon the efficiency with
which, they have. conducted the cam
paign against impure and poor milk.
Recognition of their power is found
in the fact that the city council has
granted to the board of health the SER
vices of veterinarian and four milk
inspectors. The board asked for
number of other things too. including
district physicians, but the only re-
quests that were granted were those
which had been urged by the club
women. The consequent publicity ae-
corded the ideas, through the press, un-
doubtedly helped the movement, too.
DR.. Powers, city health officer, gives
much credit for the Improvement in
city sanitation to the club women
1.-THE Friday Morning club women,
with Mrs Charles Farwell Edison as
chairman of the committee, have Vlr-
tually made it possible for us to have
these inspectors" said he yesterday
land in the securing of ordinances re-
garding the inspection of meat some
time ago the members of the Ebell
club were equally powerful, although
they did not do the work in quite the
same manner, and did not identity
themselves so publicly with the move
ment."
DR.. Powers could undoubtedly fur
nish ideas concerning Improvement in
the city sanitation to any club that IS
desirous of an object. He believes that
the matter of having district physicians
to look after the city health is one OF
the most important features in muni-
cipal improvement just now. By such
measures the dangers of epldemlcs
would be averted, contagious diseases
would be Immediately quarantined ana
their cause investigated and removed.
School buildings would be under su-
pervision which would assure the pu-
pills and teacher the best possible
care, and the entire system of the city's
health would be materially improved.
Such an addition to the board of
health's working capacity will un-
doubtedly be allowed eventually.

Mrs. George w. Jordan, president of
the Cosmos club, returned early in the
week from a summer outing at Cata-
lima. She is ready for the resumption
of her club duties now but finds that
most of the members Of her executive
board are still absent from the city.
The club will give an outing for poor
children and their mothers some time
before school begins but owing to the
tardiness of the members of the COM
mttees in taking up the work the out
ing will probably be held early in
September instead of in August, as first
announced.
The CLUB will hold its opening meet
ing at the Ebell club the second
Wednesday in october.

ment of their object They have raised
the money for the piano fund in vari-
Gus ways, partly by donations and
partly by the delightful swimming
party at Bimini baths, which was an
event of the month. Some small
amount is still due on the instrument
but this the club will raise with an
other entertainment, plans for which
are already being made. The club has
made a remarkable growth in the past
year and is now too large to meet in
private residences any longer. Accord

will be obtained for the meetings,
which will be resumed the first Thurs
