"STRAGGLERS" A QUEER CLUB
Only Friends of Juanita Wilson Are
Members of the New York
institution.

One of the queerest clubs in New
York is called "The Stragglers," in
West Forty-ninth street 1t is not like
an ordinary club; you just go there
for the eats. There are no dues and
it's members only pay for their repasts
when they have the coin. To become
a member it is necessary to be a
friend of Juanita Elizabeth Cecilia St.
Clair Redant Wilson She is the
president, chairman, board of man.
ayers and everything else connected
with the Stragglers. She would never
have started the club hadn't her
friends been so fond of her. They
used to drop in and eat her out OF
house and home.
Then she hired the house in Forty
ninth street and informed all her
friends that they could have the privi-
lege of dining with her nightly for a
fixed price. Her friends accepted. And
so the Stragglers came into existence.
When you become member of the
club you have the freedom OF the
place. You can mix your own Bronx
and watch the chef cook your steak
and chops. Everybody who is any
body in the spotlight drops in and be-
tween the soup and fish you will be
favored with song by some musical
show star In fact, as Juanita Eliza
beth, ETC., explains it, you are likely
to meet anyone from your ashman to
your landlord at the club dinners.

WAY to Overcome Eatinue.

A novel method of relieving fatigue
is being employed by soldiers in the
French army. The men take off their
shoes, lie on the ground or any fat
surface, and raise their legs at right
angles to the body against wall or
other upright support. The toes,
ankles and knees are worked. Rest in
this position and the flood of blood
that pours into the tissues when they
get up is very reviving. The head
should be raised as on a pillow.
