S OCIAL
Mothers Club Meets.

One of the most interesting meet
lngs OF the Bridgeport Mothers Club
ever held was the one Tuesday after
noon in the Methodist Episcopal
church with the members of the
clarksburg club as its guests.
The meeting was opened by sing
ing, IT'LL West virginia@ Dry, fol-
lowed by devotional exercises led by
the Rev. Mr.. A. j. L. Curtis, pastor Of
the Methodist Episcopal church
A duet, There viii Be No Tears in
Paradise" was beautifully rendered
by Miss Marguerite Johnson and
Miss Ethel Heckert, after which the
president Mrs. A. B. withers, intro
duced DR.. John Folk, who addressed
the audience.
His subject was What Shall We
Teach the La:ty in Regard to
Health?s and was very ably handled
throughout his entire talk. He be-
gan with the Importance Of health,
The intention of medical organiza-
lions to allay suffering and prevent
disease, and of the struggle of
physicians for the confidence OF, the
laity which they have finally Won.
he told Of the histories he had per-
sonally collected of fifty persons who
aad lived to be eighty-fve or ninety
years old and stated they had al.
ways been people of regular habits
of life. He took up the diseases OF
constipation, enlarged tonsils, tu-
berculosis, paralysis, rheumatism
md diseases Of the heart. His dis
sussion of each as to their cures,
prevention, symptoms, or treatment
was intensely interesting and highly
beneficial.
The last part of his address was
given over to 1.-THE influence Of the
Mind over Disease" He explained
how difficult the task is to treat the
patient who has no hope and how
faith in the physician, the treatment,
and courage are often instrumental
n restoring to health those whose
conditions were considered hopeless.
Having attended Christian Science
meetings and studied their teachings,
he spoke authoitatively on the sub
iect and discussed 1t as misleading,
saying, God has given us the gift,
the work is ours" Where they are
successful it was attributed to the
influence of the mind over the body.
He said, I'VE are the, possessors
Of two minds-the objective and sub
jectiye When both are In harmony,
we are we'll and happy and destined
20 live our allotted time,
Doctors do not cure, they assist
nature and lend us aid; but we eff
feet the cure"
The value of good thoughts was en-
phasized as being the ptecedents OF
good health, long and better lives,
and peaceful eternity.
Following the address a delightful
social hour was held. The social
committee was composed of Mrs.
Gordon B. Late, chairman; Mrs. Lee
Bartlett, Mrs. Marie Bartlett, Mrs,
Walter Willis, Mrs. Norman Sutton,
and Mrs. Will Golden served deli
cious Neapolitan ice cream, cakes
and lemonade.

WAS VERY HARD TO PLEASE
Brokers Wife Would Appear to 30
One Of Most Unreasonable Of
Women.

A prominent broker remarked the
other day that he thought his wife
was the hardest woman to please In
the world. She was always asking him
for money when he had none, "John,"
she would say, give me Al cents. The
grocery boy is here with a BILL" Il
can't give you AZ cents" he would
say, "but here's half dollar" ooh,
you're the funniest man. You never
have the right change" A dozen times
day she would ask for a few odd
pennies.
Finally the broker went into the
subireasury and obtained 500 worth
of bright new pennies. There were
10000 pennies and he packed them
In suit case and logged them home.
Then he went to a blacksmith shop
and had an iron tripod made, aud
upon this he hung the suit case filed
with pennies.
The next day the butcher came with
his bill. 1t amounted to 1857. "John,"
said the wife. give me $5.87.v "Yoh
will find 1t on the tripod" he explain.
ed. The wife returned in moment in
great rage. why, john" she cried,

He NEVER EVEN TOOK AIM
But the Tyro at Hunting Brought
Down Two Birds, and Shot
No More.

"Only once in my life did ever
do any shooting" said a travelling
man, talking to a group in the cafe
Of one of the big New York hotels.
"and that once made a real hit. It
was in western town to which my
trip had carried me, and the natives
had arranged a prairie chicken hunt
for the following day. OF course I
was invited. I protested that was
out of practice, but they insisted that
I go along, and some one furnished a
gun for my use.
"As the only stranger in the party.
they let me go ahead, following the
dogs closely. I didn't even know
what prairie chicken looked like;
whether they would run along the
ground or fly. Suddenly I heard a
tremendous whirr, the sound, as
came to know, of the birds taking
wing. So excited was I that, without
raising the gun to my shoulder. T
pulled the trigger. 'Bangl' went the
gun, and two of the birds futtered
slowly to the ground.
He never even took AIM shouted
one Of the hunters, and my reputation
was made. Thereafter rested on
my laurels, not attempting another
shot throughout the day, or ever
since"

MADE EQUALS BY LEARNING
With the Same Education, Men VIII
Lose Their Superiority Over
Women.

Rev. Anna Howard Shaw said re-
Gently in Philadelphia of an oppo-
nent Of co-education:
Perhaps he objects because he ia
aware that equal education does away
with mans superiority. The average
man, OF course, won't be superior to
the average woman when they are
both equally well educated. His as
sertions won't be accepted then I'M
questioningly.
Indeed his assertions already are
beginning to BIO questioned here and
there. Thus there was young chap
at the seashore last month who on be-
ing refused by beautiful girl said:
"'You have broken my heart
"But the girl, a medical student,
laid her white hand lightly on his
breast moment, and then shook
her head mad said
"'No, there isn't the least evidence
OF organic lesion. notice a slight
palpitation, due, no doubt, to the ex
cessive use OF cheap cigarettes, but
otherwise the organ is quite perfect :"
