THE NEW CLUB WOMAN.
No Longer the Dilletante She was
Twenty Years AGO.


Some conception of the growth of
women's clubs can be had when it is
considered that the General Fedora
ton Of such clubs was organized in
1890. II years ago. The federation
then consisted of so clubs. represent
ing II states. Now il has more than
a thousand from As states. with a
membership i'm the General Federation
and affiliated organizations OF more
than 500. 1000.
A club woman writing in the Am
erican Club Woman declares that at
first the work of the clubs was. gen
orally speaking. narrow and superfic-
ial But she says the growth i'm this
regard has kept pace with the in
crease i'm membership. And not only
are the women studying nowadays but
they are working in everp part of the
country To secure reforms in matters
that affect the home and the state.
The writer quotes from n list of
subjects discussed at vne of the earl '
meetings of the General Federation.
Some of the subjects were: Com
parative value Of oral and written adj
dresses" How far should home tall
ent be cultivated i'm clubs?" Should
we own clubhouses?' Should we en-
gage in philanthropic work." SHOULD
clubs become so expensive that wom-
en- of small means be obliged to retire

Compare these, she says. with the
following topics studied last year by
the current history class Of the Chi
cago Woman's club under the auspices
of the philosophic and scientific de-
partmcnt: Independence OF Legisla-
tive, Executive and Judiciary Depart
ments of the Government" Central

r. II. sands superintendent of the
waterWorks department and J., j. Mar
tin, mayor, have returned from Okla
homa City after having made an in
vestlEation of an electro chemical pro-
cess demonstrated al that place which
takes chlorides out OF sewage.
The apparatus, 1t is thought will
prove practical for removing he
chlordes from the city water. There is
an excess amount Of barium and sod
ium chlordos I'm the city water, and
all methods vet attempted have failed
10 remove these undesirable substances
from II.
II Is argued If the apparatus In ope-
ration at Oklahoma city will take salt
out Of sewage, why will II not take
salt out Of the city water. The in
ventors Of the process are not enthus-
iastic over the possibilities Of the
plant clarifying the Tulsa water, but
they express hope that IT will.
reduction Of from 25 10 Go per
cent of the salt in the city water may
be possible. To install a plant to ac-
complish this would mean an invest
ment Of from $40, 600 to $4,000. To
decide upon the feasibility Of the plan,
II. ~ Lautenhizer one of the inyen-
tors, will come to Tulsa in the near
future, and will look over the grounds
with the Tulsa waterworks authori-
ties.
1t is probable that a minimum plant,
not to cost in excess Of 800 will be
installed at the waterworks plant, and
n test Of the plant made by Tulsans.
A record OF these tests will be kept,
and with the data thus gained the
city commission can decide upon the
hdvisability Of the installation Of
plant large enough to handle all OF
the Tulsa water.
The apparatus which clarifies sew
Hge is an electrical machine. A dyna-
mo Of peculiar construction Is used,
giving a current of a high amperage
and low voltage, the opposite OF most
dynamos To clarity sewage, a dy-
namo generating 1-2 volts and many
hundred amperes Is used. The cur
rent is passed between two parallel
plates. In the space between the
plates, the sewage flows.
Superintendent Sands, is not too
highly enthusiastic on the subject
However It is a last resort with Mr.
Sands. Every method that has ever
been suggested as feasible to clarity
the water from salt has been tried

The High Cost of Living Reduced

Much has been said about the high cost of living,
its causes and the possibilities Of its reduction But
little has been said about the most costly Leak the
false economy existing today in nearly every house
hold.
Much foodstulfs are bought with but one point in
view: GLOW cheap can get it2' without thought
of quality or "aftcr cost" One of the most serious
is baking powder
BY the use of perfect baking powder the house
wife can derive as much economy as from any other
article used in baking and cooking In selecting the
baking powder, therefore, care should be exercised
to purchase that retains its original strength
and always remains the same, thus making the food
sweet and wholesome and producing sufficient leav-
ening gas to make the baking light.
Very little of this leavening gas is produced by
the cheap baking powders, making it necessary to
use double the quantity ordinarily required to
good results.
You cannot experiment every time you make a
cake or biscuit or test the strength of your baking
powder to find out how much of it you should use;
yet with most baking powders you should do this
for they are put together so carelessy they

GRlNNELL'S CLOSE CALL
Another Tornado Sweeps Thru Town
From West to East, Leaving Path Of
Destruction Two Blocks in Width.

OBSTRUCTION TWO BLOCKS IN width.
Special to Times-Republican.
Grinnell. May 12.-Not since the ia
nous GrinneIl tornado of 1882 has
this city seen such havoc of buildings
and trees as was made in a few min
evening. Very few knew that any
damage had been done until they be-
gan to move about the city the next
morning. The wind, which came in the
regular twister fashion, struck the city
near the southwest corner and kept a
nearly due east direction along First
ano Second avenues thru the entire
length Of the city leaving a swath Of
destruction from two to three blocks
in width. Huge trees were twisted and
broken Off. either at the bottom or at
some weak point higher up. and in sew
eral cases falling upon the houses and
doing much damage. Fruit trees in
all the yards and gardens, laden with
blossoms and giving promise of the
first fruit crop this city has seen for
some years, lie fat and ruined. A score
or more Of men were busy all day
Yesterday in clearing away the debris
so that the streets might be passable
in that region and in repairing the
damaged roofs ana porehes. This path
thru the city seems to have been the
center of gyration of the cyclone but
considerable damage was also done in
the country on the outer edges of the
whirEwind. Mr.. G.. A. Taylor, a half
mile east of the fair grounds, had a
fine silo completely Frustrated and
crushed Other damage will probably
be reported when the wires which were
badly broken, are put In order again.
