WOMAN'S CLUB STARTS
 ON NEW YEAR SATURDAY

With most unauspicious weather conditions the opening of the Wom- ans Club on Saturday was not the event hoped for when first planned. Mrs. W. F. Griffin with an able corps of assistants had arranged recep- tion for the teachers of both the Nor nal and Emerson schools, and for all the out of town visitors who have expressed themselves as enthusiastic over our club work. Because of these arrangements it was a disappoint- ment to have to postpone the affair until the October meeting, but this will give every club member an op- portunity to pray for fair weather. After the new advisory board had dis posed of it's matters of business the general meeting opened with roll call with rather meager response for an opening day. Mrs. Griffin, in an address of greeting, spoke of pleas ant and restful vacation we had en- joyed, and trusted we had gathered strength and inspiration for the year that was before us. The work for the year has been carefully planned and the ultimate success at the end will depend upon how completely and efficiently each one discharges the duty assigned. Mrs. Griffin also in- troduced new note into the meeting by suggesting that we cultivate spirit of patriotism and loyalty to our country and the principles upon which it is founded, and as means of carrying out these measures the club enthusiastically sang several pa triotic songs. After the greetings of the president the reports of the vari- ous committees were passed upon, and each chairman voiced her willing ness to make this great year. The building fund seems just now to en- gross the greater part of the interest of the club, but the members are still loyal to their first love--the library. The money given so generously by the Elks on the Fourth was set aside for the building fund, which is assuming proportions large enough to admit of using capital letters.
 A series of teas are to be given later in the month for the benefit of the library, and great deal of en- thusiasm was shown in regard to them, as the board had not expected to give picture show, but circum- stances arose making it advisable to do so-nevertheless the teas will be given and the board will eliminate the show in some other month.
 Another item of interest was the discussion concerning the dollar which each member was to raise for the travelling fund for the state presi- dent. This was voted on at one of the late spring meetings, and as some were not there perhaps it would be we'll to speak of it here. Each club member pledged herself to earn a dollar and at some general meeting designated later, this dollar was to be turned in and the interesting way in which it was earned was to furnish an amusing tale for the others. This meeting has been designated for the general meeting in November, so each one has an abundance of time to gather together few shekels. Af- ter few other matters were dis posed of the club adjourned until the regular October meeting.

WHAT PROFIT YE WITH A
 BAD LUNG AND MUCH LAND

What profiteth man that he gain the whole world, yet lose his health ?
 Naturalists say that long ago the prehistoric waters were infested with species of enormous shark which finally became extinct by reason of the workings of it's voracious appetite. Thus nature eliminates the over-fed.
 The disire for ease of life and plen- tiful diet is universal, and is the great stimulus of man and animals alike. When man becomes greedy and takes more ease and food and drink than is his share, Nature dis cards him.
 In the race for power and place, for ease of circumstance and relief from the stimulus of hunger, the modern man is apt to forget that un- less he is careful of his body he will soon be made to suffer for the infrac- tion of Natures memorable physical law. With the loss in body tone comes an equal loss in mental activity and the brain which for time was able to operate despite the complaints of an over-fed, under-exercised, self poisoned body, stops working.
 Statisticians have discovered that the mortality rate of persons in the United States over 45 years of age is increasing. The strenuous life of the day is not alone responsible for this. Lack of health-giving exercise, su- perfuity of diet, lack of restoring sleep, over-stimulation, the high pres sure of the race for power, wealth and position, plus physical neglect these bring early decay. The goal is reached, wealth is amassed, honor, position and power are just being grasped when the apple of accomplish ment turns to the ashes of dissolu- ton. The brilliant mind becomes clouded, the steady hand is no longer accurate, the eye which once gazed fearlessly upon the whole world is dimmed, and it is not long before the final breakup occurs. All of this was entirely preventable.
 Other things being equal it is the man who leads the well balanced life who lasts the longest, whose work to the end is uniformly the best, he who neither overworks nor overplays, nei- ther over-eats, over-drinks nor over sleeps, he who maintains a standard of simple healthy diet in moderation, who offsets mental work with phys ical recreation, who is as honest with his own body as he is with his own business. When success comes to such an one his physical and mental condition is such that he can enjoy in peace of mind and contentment of body the fruits of his labors.
 The regulations of the U. S. Pub lie Health Service state: Ut is the duty of officers to maintain their physical as well as their professional fitness. To this end they shall be all lowed time for recreation and study whenever their official duties will per nit" If the government regards it as essential that its sanitary experts shall be safeguarded in this way, is it not equally important to every citizen that he similarly maintain high standard of physical integrity?

A most complete surprise was arranged, which was most highly successful in every way, for when the crowd assembled at the Morse home they found Miss Morse away and by telephoning her to return were able to perpetrate the surprise in the most satisfying manner. A pretty handkerchief shower showed in some degree the esteem of friends, and after that the evening was turned over to enjoyment of cards and music.
