The Convention of Women's' Clubs Broke
All Records.

Chicago, June 19.---The greatest con-
vention ever held by the General Fed
Grafton OF Women's Clubs ended here
Yesterday with a session of the board
of directors. More than go clubs have
come into the federation since the last
biennial convention. Mrs. Percy V. PEN

have to be evolved.
Several hundred women inspected torn
gowns here yesterday and not few Of
them had bruises to treat as a result OF
the crush Wednesday night to get into
the auditorium for the closing general
meeting. at which Miss Margaret Will
son. daughter of the president, spoke.
Thousands failed to obtain admission
to the hall. Police reserves were called
out to control the crowd and a number
of women tainted.
Miss Wilson's address was the first OF
half a dozen three minute speeches by
young women. She urges use of the
public school buildings as community
centers.

there has beem,some hitch over the inter-

vestigation is practically complete, but
concerning the report no information can

One ,rumor is thatsthe document has
been already written by Chief Counsel

pendng a. full consideration of the sit
uation by the president and Attorney
General MvReynoFds. Another rumor is
that the report WIN be made public with.
in a week after the rate decision is an
pouuced. Another story is to the effect
that the report win be delayed until ad-
ditional witnesses are called and their
testimony taken. Laurence Minot of

moned, but wan not put on the stand,
and to all intents and purposes his sub
nopna and those of Others in the same

Of the directors who have not been rem
dered immune, under the Sherman act
or under charge OF larceny, Is mentioned
here. but the cffiaf counsel only smiles
when such stories are brought to his at
tention. He refuses to say anything ex-
eept to remark that the frumors are in

Their Suffering Ended.

Hundreds Of your neighbors are
ready to tell you just what has made
life new for them and relieved them
Of the tOrtures of i'll health, If you
will let them. They have used Mrs.
Joe Persons Remedy to purify their
blood and enrich the life-giving fluid
so that all the bodily functions could
work properly. When that was done,
and the organs got a chance to do
their work, Nature cleared up their
troubles SO that they are now we'll.
trouble is laid on the digestion, the
nerves or the skin. Back Of it all is
the fact that the blood is either not
good enough or is positively poison
ed. or course you cannot get we'll, di-
gest what you eat or rest in sleep, as
long as what ought to give your
nerves tone and your digestion encr-
gy and strength is poisoned every min
ute Of the day. Get the blood right.
Moses said 1T is the life" When the
blood is right you live.
Here is what one of your neigh
bOrS declares: "A few years ago l
was a terrible sufferer from blood
poison. If the skin would be broken
from any cause the flesh would be-
come innamed, would itch and burn
and develop in sores. Mrs. Joe Per-
son persuaded me to use her remedy.

Aged Traveller
Has C0ntented Lot

G. A. Smith, so years Of age, slow
ly drove his little flee-bitten donkey
through the streets of Ashland Fri
day afternoon. Perched on a roll Of
blankets, the old gray-haired man
looked to either side Of the street
with as little concern as If he was
riding in the wilderness surrounded
by big pines instead of people.
He only stopped long enough to
give his burro a drink of water. The
old man is en- route for Douglas
county, where he has a farm, from
Lower California. Back of his roll
of blankets was passenger, his goat,
which furnishes him milk for his cof-
fee and rice. Since April l the trio
have been on the. road, occasionally
stopping for a short rest. He is
happy while slowly jogging along and
said he could never be satisfied un-
less he was on the road.
