Civic League is Solicited.
The Civic league which is club
belonging to the Iowa Federation Of
Womens clubs, has received letter
asking them to contribute to the
Iowa Equal Suffrage association
melting pot. Equal suffrage has been
endorsed both by the General Fed
Grafton and by the Iowa Federation,
hence the call Is sent to all federated
clubs. The text of the letter fol-
lows:
Dear Club Member: The Iowa
Federation of Women's clubs in its
biennial meeting at Iowa City in
May, unanimously endorsed the Iowa
Equal Suffrage campaign. The press
ing need before the women of the
state now is funds with which to
conduct a successful suffrage cam
paign. A method which has been
successfully worked out in other
states is the melting pot. This means
the donation by individual women OF
pieces of broken or discarded gold
jewelry, broken spectacle bows, or
pieces of gold Of any sort, or Of
solid silver. 1t is found that the cost
of the reduction of plated silver is
too great to make it available, but
any pieces of solid silver, however
small, are valuable. The articles
are sent to a refinery and melted in
to bullion. These donations may be
made to some one woman, appointed
! by your club, as a member of the
melting pot committee. She, in turn,
will send them by mail or parcel
post to the chairman Of the commit
tee. The National association
cleared about $4,000 last year by this
means. This is splendid way III
which every woman can lend her
active personal support to the CAM
paign." Will you not enlist the sup
port of your club and it's individual
members, to the end that the first
meeting which takes place August
may be gratifying success?"

One of the important things in

pares one much better to resist the

It is more hygienic to eat the acid

we find ourselves relfshdng cranber-

wholesome than vinegar or other mau-

is. don't eat, fast and wait until the
