also from numerous civic organizations.
1t is the intention of the club for these
delegates TO serve as channel of com
munication between the club and their
respective, organizations or churches.
They will take with them the report of
the meetings of the club and a knowledge
Of the things which the club is trying
to do. and in that way bring the club
in touch with the other organizations II
thereby receiving both support and in
spiration.
Meetings of the Monday Evening Club
are held monthly, on the third Monday,
the meetings being abandoned during the
summer months. The place of meeting
for some time has been the assembly hall
of the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton. although the organization has no
connection with that movement. At each
of the meetings some topic of public in
terest has been presented and at each
prominent speakers have been heard the
addresses being followed by a full and
frea discussion, after which the action
of the club Is determined and a commit
tee is usually appointed to pursue an
inquiry or to press for action. These
committees constitute a unique branch in
the work of the club. They are termed
citizens committees and, while several
of the club members are on them. outside
people are also called upon to belong. In
this way the services of people best able
to undertake the matter in hand are Sc
cured.
BY far the most important meeting OF
this season was held in December. when
the subject under discussion was The
Salary and Chattel Loan Evil. After
Ave speakers had made addresses an ami
mated discussion arose, which resulted In
the appointing of citizens committee,
with W. Fl. Baldwin as chairman. In
the selection of the personnel care was
given to the fitness of each member, and
the committee chosen proved to be one
well able to cope with the situation. 1t
is composed Of Gen. George H. Harries.

At the meeting held in February the
form" A committee was appointed and
spent at the Capitol in the interest of
bill establishing adult probation for the
District.
In commenting upon the general pro-
gram of the club the secretary, Mr.
Jones' said:
Social service is a word upon which
the changes are being rung in these
days by many writer's. One cannot
pick up a current periodical without
seeing the evidence of keen interest in
all that relates to a betterment OF So
cial and living conditions in our coun-
try. Social service has been called an
extension of friendliness among men 1t
is more than that; it is an extension
of the idea of cooperative useful
ness; it is service for and in the in
terest of society. 1t aims to remove
causes of social ills and to do so by
providing a constructive program Of
social good. 1t proceeds on the theory
that individual regeneration and So
cial regeneration are inseparable units
They are compliments.
The Monday Evening Club is at
once an organization and a movement.
There is very little machinery about 1t
Its main objective Is to get definite
things done in the interest Of the COM
mon good. 1t has met with success,
especially in the last three years, be-
cause it has enlarged it's scope Of use
fulness gradually by drawing into it's
membership men and women of every
creed and interest, upon the broad
platform of social and moral welfare.
1t is simply providing an outlet for the
expansion OF personal religious life
through institutional agencies which
are intimately founded upon that re-
ligiOus lffe.
The Monday Evening Club was organ
lied October 5, 1896, as a result of invita-
tions sent out by the late Mrs. Sarah S.
Fuller of the Associated Charities. An
informal meeting was held in the parlors
Of the Young Women's Christian Home
for considering the ACCESSIBILITY of form
ing club of the paid charity workers in
the District The meeting can hardly take
rank among successful ones. as the at
tendance was very small One of those
present was George 8. Wilson, then gen.
eral secretary of the Associated Charities
and one of the few persons who have
stood by the club through thick and
thin.
Mrs Fuller, taking the initiative in
forming the club, stated that the object

The work done by this committee and
its connection with the loan shark evil
forms one of the most interesting chap
tiers in the history Of the organization
The evil wrought by the loan sharks and
its determination has been agitated by
several citizens for the past few years

regulate this evil This was referred to
the Commissioners and received their
hearty Endorsement. Coming most direct

gan its active campaign. Many amend
ments were made to the bill, which were
later accepted by Senator Dillingham;.

which it had been referred. That the bill
was we'll amended was amply shown at
the hearing before the Senate when the

unable to make any real objections. At
the present time the bill stands passed
by the Senate. and is pending before the

A SQUARE PROPOSITION.

Our sale, which is now in progress, is a real one and is absolutely on the square. It is proving a great money saver to our customers and the store has been crowded since it started. That is not surprising. though, for any one could sell goods when the prices are cut square in two.
 It is against our policy to conduct sale that is anything of a fake. We never promise a house and lot or a trip around the world. We would rather sell you the goods as We are doing and thereby save you from 25 to 50 per cent and let you travel at your own expense.
 You will note that another policy of ours is not to quote prices so ridiculous as 49c, 59c or 99c. The public is now 50 familiar with valuations that the scheme in prices of that kind is too apparent. our customers have learned by past experience that our sales are the genuine article. They know that we carry nothing but standard goods and that when the price on these standard goods is cut, they are get ing a genuine bargain and that every cent they cost less than the regular price is just like picking that much up off the street.

USUAL BIG CROWD
 AT NEW A|RDOME
The Performance Followed by Skating
 in the Opera House.

There. was a larger crowd than usual Friday evening at the Airdome and the show was fully up to the Standard. Tom Galloway. the blackface comedi- an, having noted in these columns the statement that his performance was more amusing than elevating. remarked that if the people really wanted some thing elevating. he would give it to them. He forthwith recited that touch
 ing little poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox or someone else, entitled Dixie" Mir. Galloway's stunt on Wednesday even ing was just trifle raw in spots and MT. Turner wants it understood that in his vaudeville acts, he proposes to let nothing of the kind occur again. He didn't know what was coming the oth- CT night or it wouldn't have happened.
 There was the usual moving picture show last night and on Wednesday evening of this week there will be nov ing pictures and vaudeville, the fea- lures of which will be announced later. Anticipating a cut in the prices when the new Vance airdome gets into op- eratiOn, MT. Turner has already fore stalled that move by reducing his own prices Even now the prices are so low that there is mighty small margin left for the operator.

THE WOMAN'S LEAGUE
 WHAT II IS DOING

The following statement was made yesterday to The Republican repre- sentative by Mrs. c. A. Smith, local representative of the WOman's league:
 One branch of the fine arts that is being taught free of cost to the members of the American WOman's league and their minor children is sculpture, and several cases of re markable talent in that line have al ready been discovered in members taking the course and they are now receiving the honor course, which consists of three years of personal training at the Academy of fine arts at the University in the city of St. Louis, with sufficient salary to pay ones expenses while there.
 one young lady shows decided tal- ent in depicting child life in mar bic and her little tots in different poses are so true to life that she will undoubtedly acquire fame in that line, because the league has opened the doors of opportunity to her.
 Another, when twelve years old, was talented and made an image in snow which attracted so much atten- ton that she wanted to take up sculpturing. but she had no chance. untoil she later became a league member She is now an honor stu dent and is making rapid progress toward the goal of her chosen pro fession
 At the head of this departmsnt is George Julian Zolney. who enjoys a world wide reputation for his beauti- ful works of art in the shape of plaster and marble casts.
 Any one who is intending to sub scribe for any magazine is requested to hand it in to some member of the league in Mesa. as that is how many of the members receive their membership certificates. Give the subscriptions to Mrs. c. A. Smith at +. N. Staplcy's and she will see that they receive prompt attention

GRATITUDE OF MEMBERS

The Comus clubs initial perform ance at the opera house Friday night was voted a huge success by all who attended
 The house vas literally jammed with people and the fire laddies reaped a fine benefit.
 The acting was realistic and a credit to many a professional. and the stage settings were made in a true manner.
 As Mary Stanhope, Mrs. l.. w. Coombs was at her best, and as John Stanhope alias MT. Herbert, George D. Fitzgerald gave a true and real istic interpretation and the utmost credit is due to the others for the fine manner in which they handled their various parts.
 This morning the members of the Comus club made the following statement to The Republican core spondent pro tenn:
 The Comus club wishes to thank the many persons who so willingly gave their services and assisted in making their initial performance a success. Mrs D. M. Phelps especial Iv is mentioned. as she came in at the last moment tO assist with the music. Miss Mary Corbell of Tempe, who helped preside at the piano. is also thanked, as are Mrs. Emma Ellsworth.

The members of the Comus club take this means of eX- pressing their sincere gratitude to those persons and to the many oth- CTS that contributed their share in making the affair the success it was,
 C. Fred Bracket, fire chief. states that they were given the proceeds.

KNOCKED OUT
 BY BAD BULL W. I. Cummings Seriously Injured Yesterday HE HAD NARROW ESCAPE But For the Bulls Lack of Horns He Would Proba-
 bly, Have Been Killed. He
 Suffered Broken Ribs and
 Other Injuries
HE HAD NARROW ESCAPE

w T. Cummings. one of the best known citizens on the south side of the river, came very nearly losing his life yesterday afternoon through the attack of q vicious Jersey bull. Though he escaped with his life. MT. Cummings injuries are both painful and serious and he probably owes his life to the fact that the enraged animal had been dehorned, leaving only short stubs. Even without horns the attack of the bull might have been fatal had not Miss Mollie Cummings, with rare pres ence of mind, come to the rescue.
 The animal had strayed from the Cummings ranch and was found at the Adams place near by, MT. Cummings and his daughter drove to the Adams ranch in a buggy and MT. Cummings caught the bull there. The animal had a ring in it's n,se, attached to a chain. Mir. Cummings started to lead the hull home on foot by this means, but before getting out of ti.e Adams yard. the bull charged him and knocked him down Mir. Cummings sprang tp his feet and stood the bIll off for d moment The animal had been regard ed as dangerous for some time and had been whipped a good deal. As long IS MT. Cummings faced the a1i Q nal he was apparently safe, but the moment he turned his back, the bull charged him the second time, knocking him down and tramping on him. The enraged animal was making every ef- fort to kill the prostrate man. when Miss Cummings urged the horse she was driving into the affair, and by driving the buggy directly over her father prevented the animal from dO- ing him any further injury. Mir. Cum mings was able to get up and tie the bull to a fence post and get into the buggy He was then taken home and word immediately sent to town for physicians.
 Drs Brechan and Dimes responded promptly and found the injured man suffering a great deal of pain Upon examination it was found that three or five of the ribs on the left side were broken His arm was badly bruised and a deep gash was cut over his left eye There were other minor injuries and bruises. It is thought that the blow from the animals head that knocked MT. Cummings down was re- spOnsible for the broken ribs. The other bruises and cuts were probably received from the bulls feet as he stamped him. Unless it should develop that there are internal injuries, it is not thought that the results will be serious. though in all probability Mir Cummings will be confined to his bed for several weeks.
 The Cummings have had a good deal of misfortune of late. Only a few weeks ago their house with it's con tents was totally destroyed by fire. and the new house which is being con structed on the site of the old one is not yet completed.

New Tuberculosis Cure
 Based on Medicine

Dit it eyer occur to you that the reason medical doctors have so little success in curing Tuberculosis is be- cause they really do not practice medi- cine?
 To say that a specific exists for the cure of Consumption is perhaps too strong a statement, but in Eckman's AIterative we have a medicine that that has been the means of saving many a life to years of usefulness and in permanently curing a large number of ConsumptiVes.
 Telling every sufferer to gorge him. self with eggs and milk is apparently the limit of modern treament. Certainly a person afflicted with a wasting dis ease should be well fed with whole some, nourishing food, but frequently raw eggs in quantities cause 2 digest i've breakdown, and then no food nourishes. As for milk, very good food for many, but a producer of bil- iousness for some.
 Any diet that keeps a COnsumptive well nourished is the right one. but what is going to cure the patient?- Eckman's Alterative has cured and is curing many a case of Consumption. Let those speak who know. Here is specimen:-

 Gentlemen: On Jan. 3, 1907, was op- erated upon for Tubercular Peritonitis at St Mary's Hospital, Rochester. N. Y After the operation my physicians gave me up. l was then urged by clergyman to take Eckman's Altera- tive which I did. My weight at the time was = lbs. I began to improve and steadily gained in health and strength I now weigh 125 lbs, and am absolutely cured.

However, 1t is a safe bet that he won't give the local speed limit any, more black eyes
