talk of the extent to which American
inventions and utilities have won
their way around the world, and it is
literally tire. All up and down the
highways of the earth We find strange
people using Yankee safety razors
and kodahs and enjoying the music
of American-made monographs. But
after all it is the American apple
which has done more than any
thing else to carry conviction as to
what a bounteous realm is this pre-
mier republic of the new world
And, speaking of the apple, it must
not be supposed that any measure of
Its prestige is due to the mere fact
that it is q food, whereas some of the
other things which We export to the
tune of millions of dollars a year are
luXuries, pure and simple. The
United States is food purveyor to the
world with other eatables than the
luscious products OF our orchards.
Why if it were not for our wheat and
corn, for instance, half of Europe
would go hungry Just as were i, not
for our cotton, thousands of employees
of foreign cotton mills would go idle.
But with all due respect to these
facts it may yet be declared that the
American apple is in class by itself

Ladies of the Leaf.

With Mrs. II. c. Potterf yesterday
the Ladies of the Leaf held their last
club meeting.
Mrs. Guillot and Mrs Westheimer
sang a beautiful Venetian boat song.
At the business session Mrs. Wall
and Mrs. Echorn were unanimously
elected to membership. The officers
then gave their reports. The reports
showed that they had all done their
work well and that the club had en-
ioyed an unusually fruitful year. Mrs,
Turner, paIliamentarian, gave bright,
interesting report of her work in a
Tarody on the Raven. Parliamentary
rules is the weak point in the club and
the poem fitted in most happily. Mrs.
PotterfS report was so concise, so
work and ideals that it would do well
TO embody it in the minutes as epito-
MIXING the work for the closing year.
Mrs. Potterf accepted the presidency
unwillingly, but once persuaded, gave
il her fullest attention. In many ways
the club year has surpassed all others
especially in the spirit of altruism.
Mrs. Potterf refused to allow her name
to be balloted upon this year.
After the reports We're read. the
new president, Mrs Byars, was es-
cOrted to their chair. Mrs. Byars is
both competent and popular. She is
also an indefatigable worker and in
assuming the duties of club president,
she carries the unanimous good wish
es of the club members.
Delicious sherbet, cream and cake

The stage was an inspiring sight
with tier after tier of happy, bright
faces, representing the best musical
talent in our public schools.
The program was opened by the
high school chorus in a song that
might well call forth our patriotism
Hail, Old Ardmore.'
The primary department then sang
three songs and quite delighted the
audience.
The Highland Schottische, danced
by eighth grade girls of the first ward
was one of the prettiest numbers OF
the program. The grace, the ease
and the perfect rhythm of the dance
emphasizes the value of folk dances
in the physical culture department OF
our school.
The second and third grades then
sang three songs-and they sang. 1t

1t is the duty of every expectant
mother to prepare her system for the
coming of her little one; to avoid as
far as possible the suffering of such
occasions, and endeavor to pass
through the crisis with her health
and strength unimpaired. This she
may do through the use OF Mother S
Friend, a remedy that has been so
long in use, and accomplished so
much good, that it is in no sense an
experiment, but preparation which
always produces the best results. 1t
is for exernal application and so pen
etrating in its nature as to thoroughly
lubricate every muscle, nerve and ten

prepares the system for NATURAL and

has been used and endorsed by thou
sands of mothers, and its use will
prove a comfort and a benefit to any
