With the Churches
The Federated Church

The Mems club gave a delightful supper on the evening of the 17th of March. It was Irish in character. About fifty men sat down to plates. After the repast-every man was called upon to tell an Irish story. All but two responded. Every story seemed fresh and was delivered right off the bat with invigorating and en- tertaining effect. The men of the church gathered Tuesday evening and cleaned up the lawn around the church. There will be no service in the church Sunday evening. The congregation, upon invitation will go to the Protest ant Episcopal church and help to inaugurate the preaching mission of that church. Rev. Thomas Hambly will preach the opening sermon.

Washington Society a Bore

We are always interested in the various activities of our prominent women and in reading of the wife of our new Secretary of War, Mrs. Baker of Cleveland, Ohio, we find the social life of Washington does not attract her in the least. The other cabinet ladies do not resent this state ment at all for they remember their idea of social life at the capital was "just one thing after another"-with striving for place and position but they have found there is earnest work for the earnest worker as we'll as frivolities for the frivolous.
 There are plenty of people in Wash ington who think. We remember the former Mrs. Wilson gave her very serious attention to the housing of the poor and each of the Wilson daughters interested themselves in some form of social work.
 In thinking over the list of cabinet women, we remember reading that Mrs. Lansing is an active worker in the Y. w. c. A. and several press articles of this organization are signed "Eleanor Lansing, correspond ing secretary" Mrs. Burleson has written number of little plays deal ing with Washington life. Mrs. Dam iels is keenly interested in the educa- tional and industrial development of the southern mountaineers.
 Mrs. Lane is associated with her husband in a organization within the department of the interior.
 Miss Agnes Hart Wilson is deep student of economic problems and was clerk for her father when he was in Congress.
 Every article we read concerning these women prove they are notably domestic, so Mrs. Baker can with safety venture to Washington and still be home-lover.

Books You Should Read

"On the Side of the Angels" (by Basil King)-stands first in fiction this week.
 Eleanor Porter whose new story is Just David'-is methodical worker. She spends all of her morning hours working-no matter what else she wants to do. Whenever she reads a magazine or newspaper she has a pencil in her hand to check any para graph she may want to save. Then as she clips them she files them away in card index. That's business just like an office her desk is.
 Ralph Connor is chaplain with a Canadian regiment in France.
 He is known as "white water man." This means he can shoot the Rachine rapids standing on log. It's feast most remarkable and most rare.

LEAN | C4N ocAooIN oSuC
 Lenten discipline has set in. We are observing Lent by sewing foi ourselves and the heathen; making bandages for the war hospitals; sup porting our Library by attending the picture shows; and arranging details of next years work in our clubs. Lent does not mean the entire giving over of social activity however, it simply puts ban on certain forms of it. Little affairs are perfectly alright and fortunately St. Patrick's Day gave us an opportunity to re-assemble foI many good times together.
 The day was busy one on the SO cial calendar with plenty of time to rest up after the strenuous day.
 Mrs. C. W. Suit gave series of delightful affairs. A most elaborate luncheon at one o'clock to twenty. four ladies was an enjoyable occa- sion.
 Her home was attractively decorat' ed in green and white, carrying out the "wearin' of the green"
 Delicately shaded candles revealed the dainty appointments of the tables with their favors for each guest. A luncheon of four courses was followed by an afternoon of bridge. Mrs. Suits guests included Mrs. c. o. Robinson Mrs. J. P. Wilson, Mrs. John Lind Mrs. Bart, Mrs. T. E. Pollock, Mrs H. G. Ehlers, Mrs. I. B. Koch, Mrs Schlosser, Mrs. J. c. Dolan, Mrs. J D.

Good Things to Eat" Department

Good Things to Eat" Department
 The department of Home Economies held session on last Saturday after noon in the domestic science room at Emerson school. "Two much baby week"-evidently accounted for an ex- tremely meagre attendance, though those who did make an effort to go are loud in their praise of delicious salad served by Mrs. Stanley Sykes who was in charge of the demonstra- tion for the afternoon. Through some misunderstanding no leader was pre- sent. The recipe for the salad is as follows:
 Waldorf salad with gelatine.
 1a cup chopped walnuts.
 cup chopped apples.
 1 cup chopped celery.
 Mix these ingredients and season slightly with salt.
 Place in mold and pour over them one pint of lemon jello. Serve with salad dressing.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen.
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter il
from the blood and they become sort of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re.
moving all the body's urinous waste.
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment. channels otten

to seek relief two or three times during
the night

Of big embankment to create lake

who work with pick and spade and
shovel on such tasks are Of the rough

When the third manager was liter

Kingsford. who had just graduated as
a civil engineer and was looking
around for a job. The man who told
him of the place, and who had the In
