that means Vigor, Vim, Vitality.

Because MI-O-NA causes the blood to get
better and more nourishment it is at all times
a valuable tonic. 1t puts vigor into the mus
cles, clears up the improperly nourished brain
and makes strong nerves that will stand the
severest test
Men who feel that their vitality is slipping
away; that the vim and energy that they for
merly put into all their work is lacking; that
ambitious impulses and clever ideas do not
come as they used to--are the kind of men
that need MI-O-NA.
Besides being a peerless remedy for indges-

If you have that blue, discontinued feeling

day Club December 9th Mrs. Mary H. Sibley,
president of the club, thanked the ladies' for
their Christmas gift to her-a brooch of pearls
set in wreath of gold and enamel and box
of exquisite workmanship. 1t came complete
surprise to Mrs. Sbey, but she was, as usual
quite equal to the occasion. The secretary
read letters from absent members. One from
Mrs. Alice Dodge gave minute description of
her trip from home to Vineland, New jersey,
Mrs. Happy Aver sent short letter personal
to the club members, and poem which reads
as follows:
For the Meeting
of
The Tuesday Club
Dec. q, 1910
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
To all the members of our club today.
While holding sweet converse with members
near
Keep in memory one thought for those far
away.
We're with you in spirit if you listen
To the wavelets of thought on fairy-l
wing,
Float on the air like stars they glisten
With rhythm of song they silently bring
And my heart goes out like a swift running
brook,
Gushing fresh from its unfaing fountain,
Sparkling along, DER pebbles, thro shady nook
To the stream at the foot of the mountain.
We see mirrored in that lake, one bright home
Outside It's winter with its frost bound snow
Within all is warm with greetings of welcome,
From hostess to members with cheeks all
aglow.
For crisp was the air, long was the ride,
But our Tuesday Club knows not the word
fail
So with all obstacles or fears laid aside,
Undaunted our clubship starts out full sail.
For they needed not SO anxious were they,
To meet each other at this Christmas time,
I'l bet they borrowed that old fashioned
sleigh,
Imported anew from the reindeer clime)
With the Christmas greetings all passed around
With the best of wishes all happy and gay,
Each voice in echo of the same sweet sound,
While they settle down for the work of the
day.
The work for the day was somewhat abridged
owing to the unavoidable absence of Mrs. Fos-
ter, who had charge of the program. Mrs
Small gave an extemporaneous talk on the
larger ladies colleges as compared with those
that are co-educational. She based her talk on
personal knowledge and observation of gradu-
ates from both Mrs. McGray spoke of her de-
sire when girl for college training, but said
that at that time ladies were not admitted to
the college of which she spoke, Colby. She also
spoke Of the first woman admitted to that COL
lege, Miss Lowe. Mrs. Sibley told of many of
the public buildings in Boston and of things of
interest in and about that city.-Secretary.
