OF Interest
To Women

For years Jennie June has been
club for women-Sorosis in New
York. Recently the statement has
been challenged with the claim that a
Mrs. Runsey had organized the Mi
nerva club In New Harmony, Ind,
several months before Sorosis was
formed and that Jennie June belonged
to the Minerva club. This Mrs. Run
sey lives in St. Joseph now. Where
the credit Of first organization be-
longs is not known, but at any rate
Jennie was the better advertiser
which goes to prove the truth of
claim long made by the newspapers,
that 1t pays to advertise.
There is a delightful club In Des
Moines, the Conversational club. 1t
Is limited to twelve women who meet
twice a month. One of the meetings
is held at eleven o'clock, and each
woman has current topic on which
she speaks for five minutes without
notes or manuscript. Each topic is
discussed Informally for five minutes.
At one O'Clock a luncheon is served.
The second meeting in the month is
held in the evening and the husbands
of the women are entertained at a
dinner and at these evening meetings
the men furnish the program by CIV
ing after dinner speeches on current
topics. The club is delightful, educa-
tional, exclusive and membership in
it is altogether to be desired in Des
Moines.
Have you noticed that the last So
ciety to close it's meetings In the
summer, holding on when mere exist
ence becomes BURDENS the Ladies
Aid. It may be masked under the
name Of guild or sewing society,
but it is in reality the same thing.
When the men and religion forward
movement was at its height a few years
ago, the question was much discussed
as to why men do not 60 to church
and what means could be employed
to bring them into church activity.
No one ever thought Of raising that
question about the women. The
Ladies Aid and it's activity is the out
ward and visible sign of the interest
women have In the church Through
it they raise money for the temporal
needs of the church. It's members
make up the prayer meeting and some
one has said that when Paul spoke 'of
cody women not a few he undoubt-
edly had in mind the Ladies Aid.

AS you sit very comfortably in your
home this Sunday morning, perhaps
Il isn't kind to bring to you the
thought that there are any people in
Eeokuk today who aren't comfortable
and happy. If It were a hopeless con-
dition We wouldn't speak of 1t, but 1t
d a condition that can be helped and
one In which you will be glad to do
POUR part If you only know about It,.
You know there is one disease,
tuberculosis, against which of neces-
sity the hospitals. the Benevolent
Union and other public institutions
are closed because it endangers the
lives OF those who are in the care OF
these Institutions. There are In this
city this morning men and women
who are suffering acute physical pain
and who are enduring that other suf-
iering, which is as much keener than
physical suffering as the soul is finer
than the body-the anguish OF know
IN: that they are not wanted in the
places where they live.
Some Of them have no care except
the aid which the visiting nurses give
them in their daily visit; some Of
them are wishing for drink of water
for hours, until some one in the house
has time to stop work to ask the
patient II he needs anything. When
one is i'll unto death they need the
presence OF some one all the time and
common humanity demands that they
have 1t.
