The Open Column
Recreation for the Il. b. NJ.

Editor the Missourian: l have
taken quite an interest in the discus
sion of the possibilities of a country
club for Columbia which has, beer
printed in the last two issues of youl
paper. AS a place of recreation fol
the business man, as dramatic critics
like to express it, the tired business
man or the t. b. m, a country club is
most desirable. 1t is place where
he can go after business hours, play
golf and forget the worries and cares
Of the day. For this reason if nothing
more, | favor the club.
The average business man does not
look to his physical condition enough.
He goes from his home to his place
cf business and from his place of
business back to his home. His
nerves become tagged by the monot-
ony and his family finds him some
times disagreeable The reason most
business men do not exercise is that
they have no place to go for it. Here,
1 think, is one great field for the
country golf course. The change Of
scenery to a well constructed course
is restful in itself in addition to the
beneficial exercise of playing the
game
Then there is the clubhouse of a
country club where the business man
can change his clothing, take shower
oath after coming in off the links and
chat with his fellow club members
before returning to his home This
will renew the business mans vigor
and send him back to his work with
new energy each day. The member
ship to the country club would be
health insurance.
Besides this feature, the business
man can take his family to the club
house where they may enjoy them
selves while he is out on the course.
The club would be for everyone in
his family.
These are the ideas which your
discussions and the letter printed
yesterday have suggested to me. l
firmly believe that Columbia should
have a country club and 1 believe that
there are enough people who think
the same to make one a success.-A
Tired Business Man.

Would She2

Editor the Missourian: Would a
woman complacently endure seeing
other women toiling sixteen hours a
day in hot canning factory, when
she knew she could bring about a
nine-hour working day for women by
her vote?
Would a woman who loved her hus-
band remain quiet while her beloved
worked under insanitary conditions
in a factory, if she knew her vote
could force a factory inspection law?
Come to think of it, do you know
many employers Of child labor who
are in favor Of woman suffrage?
Seems to me that those employers
who have women working sixteen
hours a day for them do not believe
in women suffrage. l presume they
think that woman's place is in the
home-all except those sixteen hours,
of course.
The liquor dealers aren't very
strongly in favor Of woman suffrage,
are they?
And yet you ask why I am in favor
of giving the women the right to
votes.

SEASONS NUT CROP SMALL
Pawpaws Also Join the Local List Of
the Scarce and Rare.

The prevailing war prices of food
stuffs in Columbia are not likely to
take any drop when the nut crop is
gathered, and nutting parties in the
vicinity Of Columbia will not prove
fruitful this fall. A hunt on the Uni
versity farm, south of Columbia, re-
vealed the smallest nut crop in a
number of years. No hickory nuts
were found and few trees bearing wal
nuts. Hazel nuts, the bushes of which
are rare in this part of the state,
were still harder to find.
Many students have lately been
securing the banks of the Hinkson in
vain search for pawpaws. This
luscious yellow fruit also has joined
the seasons list of the scarce and
rare.

lumbia churches while in school with
out affecting their memberships in

20 per cent of the students enrolled
in the University have no church pref
erence, while &C per cent are church

CHINA A PROGRESSIVE NATION
Some Views of Miss Elizabeth Combs,
Missionary There.

1.-THE greatest thing that has ever
happened in the history of China was
the change to a republic" said Miss
Elizabeth Combs, who has spent the
last five years as missionary in Chi
ma, and who is now in the United
States on a furlough. "Of course,
said Miss Combs, ''the republic is a
very wabbly one, but in the course of
time that will be overcome" China
is not at all pleased with the attitude
that Japan takes with her. China is
really afraid of her neighbor, and is
helpless to meet the great demands
that Japan makes.
One of the coming things in China,
Miss Combs thinks, is Christianity.
China is quite eager for new things.
The nation has so long clung to old
things that it is remarkable how Gag
erly the Chinese are now grasping
anything that is new. According to
Miss Combs, China is rapidly coming
to the front as a nation.
Miss Combs made talk yesterday
afternoon at meeting of the Y. M. C.
A. in Academic Hall. During her stay
in the United States she expects to
visit many universities, and also to
spend some months in study at DR..
Whites Bible School in New York
City. Miss Combs will return to Chi
ma next August.

BEHOLD THE POOR MAIDEN
SHE WORKS HARD SHOPPING

what you will, large enough to laugh
in unobserved, or made leg of mutton
and nipped severely at the wrist. The
favorite colors are garnet, purple
Burgundy red (Which in spite Of its
new name Is only our familiar wine
red after ALL; moleskin and rubber
gray are very popular, and there is a
beautiful dark shade of brown called
Java.
With evening gowns, We can be
either quaint or dignified. 1t depends
on whether you prefer the sophistica-
ton of black velvet frosted with silver
or the raivete of pink taffeta and
tulle. This is a scintillating season.
You must positively shine in society.
Everywhere Is seen the sparkle and
sheen of metallic fabrics. And when
all that glitters is not gold it is very
apt to be silver. There is lovely
stuff called silver tissue and all sorts
of shimmmering materials in pastel
shades of pink, blue and apricot. Some
of the shops show frocks that have the
sheen of silver tissue misted over
with tulle, most delightful effect in
indirect lighting.
Trimming Necessary In Fashions.
OF course, with all this, it is de-
tails that make the maid, and trim
ming, now fashionable in politics, is
still more popular in the fashions.
Fringe, always clinging to the edge
of the mode, is now firmly established
and is seen everywhere. A very pretty
form of decorating is embroidery
silk or wool stitching in gay colors
or designs picked out in metallic
thread Bells and buttons are often of
fur and always present.
When it comes to the outdoors, the
modern girl, even if she be for suf-
frage and coeducatoin, is retiring (al-
most completely, in fact) behind flow
ing wells that droop from her hat and
high fur collars and coats that make
us think we cannot have too much
of good thing, especially when they
are made of such fascinating materials
as wool velours, Bolivia cloth and
duvetyn. Some of them indeed, seem
to have entered the fourth dimension.
for so clever are the designers that
you cannot see where all the fullness
comes from. The smartest tones are
dark green, Bordeaux and tobacco
brown. With them go shoes, to match
or not to match, but that is another
story.

Nuxated Iron Will Increase Strength Of
Delicate, Nervous, Rundown Peo-
pie 200 Per Cent in Ten Days
In Many Instances.

New York, N. Y.-Most people fool
ishly seem to think they are going to
get renewed health and strength from
some Stimulating medicine, secret nos
trum or narcotic drug, said DR.. Sauer,
a specialist of this city, when, as a mat
ter of fact, real and true strength can
only come from the food you eat. But
people often fail to get the strength out
Of their food because they haven't
enough iron in their blood to enable it
to change food into living matter. From
their weakened, nervous condition they
know something is wrong, but they
can't tell what, so they generally COM
mence doctoring for stomach, liver or
kidney trouble or symptoms Of some
other ailment caused by the lack of
iron In the blood. This thing may go
on for years, while the patient suffers
untold agony. If you are not strong or
well, you owe 1t to yourself to make
the following test: See how long you
can work or how far you can walk
without becoming tired. Next take
two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after
meals for two weeks. Then test your
strength again and see for yourself
how much you have gained. / have

pie who were ailing all the while,

Don't Neglect Kidneys
Swamp Root. DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overc0meS Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
fltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
ercise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. ADV.

Franklin Objects Seriously.

She isn't very large, that's true, but
being q county seat, and Boosting of
a college, several factories, flour mills,
railways, interurbans and her lately
acquired Masonic home, Franklin feels
that she is not a town to be passed
lightly by, in fact, she knows her i'm
pOrtance, and thought that everyone In
the state realized it until she was
taken down a bit lately. During the
big conference of the Methodist
churches held recently in the town a
meeting of the Indianapolis presbytery
was in session at the same time at
Hopewell country church in pros
porous farming community few
miles out. One of the Presbyterian
delegates, on leaving the train Joined

tering, some of his inquiries caused
someone to suggest that probably he
was in the wrong place, and he asked
innocently: isn't this HOpewell?"

tude unprecedented IN our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talities for its prosecution; it is
deemed to be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles

Porto Rico's Needs.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of POr-
to Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges OF
its people are not just. We have Gre
ated expectations of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption OF
the pending measure would happily re
move. We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We
ought to do it at once.
There are other matters already adj
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which 1t is
not necessary that 1 should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.

ably the last occasion I shall have to
address the Sixty-fourth congress, l

company l take the liberty of con-
graduating you upon the completion of
