be recognized as leading in the club
world: "a few weeks ago Mrs. George
Allen of Rochester, Mimi, wrote to
Mrs. r. A. Sprague, market inspector
for h Women's Civic league, for in
concerning the work &C
by the local women's or
saying that the Rochester

speaking especially Of the inspectors
work, the fly campain and improve
ment in city conditions generally, and
few days ago received a reply say
ing that Rochester would begin eff
forts at once to cur a food in
spector and also institute the fly
campaign. Mrs. Charles Mayo, wife of
famous physician, is president Of
the league at Rochester and has Just
returned from an eastern trip in order
to get the springs work started. The
following excerpt concerning the Ro-
league Is taken from one of
the Rochester daily papers: .Ro-
chester is to be a flyless city. At
regular monthly business session
OF the Rochester Civic league held
Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. F. e. Cooling
presided. There was an unusually
large attendance and the meeting
to be one of much interest.
Mrs. Graham gave a talk on institute

carried, that a committee be ap-
pointed to form plans for making Ro-
chester a fyiess city. Mrs. George
read a letter from Mrs. r. a.
Sprague, market inspector of Grand
n. d., who has a national rep
ltation and has been asked to speak
1T the biennial meeting of General
Of Women's clubs in June.
She has accomplished wonderful re-
suits in her work as inspector, and
mas shown conclusively that this work

woman"
