How few women there are who have
taken up photography ns profession.
One could almost count on the fingers OF
one hand those who have made name for
themselves i'm this city, and yet what n
wonderful calling 1t Is for woman; how
we'll fitted she is for IT, with her keen
artistic sense and her atteation to details,
For the woman who has to earn her
own living, what profession could be
more delightful She is not thrown into
contact with the rough side Of business
life, and there is splendid scope for her
own individuality. We have in Philadel-
phia few clever women in this line, such
as Miss Mathilde We'll, Mrs. Sara Price
and Miss CARMEL, but why not more or
them?
However there is in this city club OF
women which was founded for the pro-
motion of art in photography. II IS
called the Lantern and Lense Gid OF
Women Photographers, and comprises
both amateurs and professionals. The
club was started by little circle Of
women who had taken course given
some years ago by Miss Mathilde Well
at Drexel Institute, at the end of which
they decided to work together to pro-
mote pictorial photography. 1t now has
n studio in the Fuller Building, with
dark room enlarging and portrait cam
eras. Meetings are held once a week

EASE-SYMPTOMS
AND HOW TO REGARD THEM
Bv WILLIAM A. BRADY, M. D.

DRIGHTS DISEASE is most frequently
ID observed in persons at or beyond mid
die age. Toward 40, the blood pressure

take life too luxuriously instead of stick
ing to the industrious and abstemious hab-
it's of earlier years

fenced by individuals developing Bright $
disease. The early symptoms are in no
sense local, but of a general character.
Digestive disturbances, headache, cough
and asthmatic symptoms loss of weight
loss of strength. nervousness and restless
sleep, shortness of breath, vague joint
pains of fleeting character-such symp-
toms, or any of them, coming on around
middle age and persisting without appar-
ent cause should suggest careful exam
inaton by the doctor and chemical and
mcroscopical urine test.
In some cases the earlier symptoms are
failure of eyesight, due to changes in the
retina, which a competent oculist would
recognize in an examination of the eyes,
dizziness or mental disturbance.
In some cases palpitation, bronchitis
and general anemia are the earlier signs.
Two common misapprehensions about
Bright's disease (chronic nephritis) de-
serve correction. First, the mere pres
cnce or absence of albumin in the urine
signifies very little or nothing in itself,
but only tends to confirm an opinion
founded on physical examination of the
patient. Second. persons with Brights
disease may and usually do live in COM
parative comfort for many years, per-
haps 10 to 15 years on the average and
much longer If they live as the doctor
teaches them to live.
Be it an early, mild nephritis, or
we'll established nephritis (nephro means
kidney, tits means inflammation, this is
certain: No particular medicine or combi-
nation of medicines can possibly help Mr..
Jones just because Mr.. Smith happened
to feel better after taking it. In fact
medicine is only of secondary importance
in the treatment, and is administered
rather to affect the neart, arteries or
blood, not to make the kidneys do what
they can't dc. when diseased.

Awarding the scholarships was a task
which took no small amount or time anu
tact. So many worthy young women. an
with good reasons why they shoulu pe
given the scholarships, applied that tne @
selection of the winners was uhusualiE
difficult.

where they would do the most good. lt
wanted to be fair 1t wanted TO pe
of real service to four young women IN
Philadelphia and vicinity, and 1t wanted
to help these young women 10 increase
their incomes, to aid them as much as
possible. ,,,.
as n bit of thanksgiving for the 80 years
of success of it's field, it wanted TO award
scholarships to some worthy girls, so they
could increase their earning capacity ms
custom is to be an annual one. But inc
school authorities did not know how TO
find the really worthy young women so
they asked the aid of this paper-and the
result is the selection of the four from
long list of applicants.
Each year this cooperative scheme Is
to be carried on by the Mcdowell school
and the EVENING LEDGER. Girls VINO
were not successful this year should not
feel discouraged, because they will have
an opportunity to TRY again.

Optimism

Why talk of regret and the world still

There's many --drigal yet unsung.
And many a latent joy in store
For the seeming woe we today deplore
Come out of the shadow and bask in the
light;
The raven is black, but the dove is white
The raven croaks in a minor key,
While the dove COOS softly loves melody
Come, lay the sorrow of life aside,
Accept the blessings the gods provide.
The night is sure to follow the day.

Bitter Feelings at Morenci

The feeling is still bitter here be- tween some of the union and non union forces and it breaks out in some kind of scrap almost every day. The trouble appears to be as great among the woman and children as among the men. The men could make their families behave and they are not living up the rules laid down by the union officials whereby they agreed to forget the past and all work in harmony together. The patience of the peace officers is almost exhausted and there will be something doing if the trouble is not cut out and that real soon.-Clifton Mining Journal.
