in which there was actually conceded the
right of the American government to I'M

could be accomplished if that point were
not mentioned In the formal agreement.

 l am so glad to notice in all organized effort the word charity" has become distasteful, and the world extends that help of friendship and love that means distressed.
 . 4 recent conversation with Dr. Twedland, a Jewish medical practitioner and a man closely affiliated with the benevolent offices of the Jews we learn that in the Hebrew language there is no such word as charity, the one nearest to it being tzdoko, meaning in English justice, and when people are in distress or want they feel it but a matter of jus tice to render service.
 These mothers clubs are giving that justice to the homes, and in that gift they render themselves better mothers and more diligent home-makers.
 Any movement that is of and for the people is naturally broad and useful, but it is especially so when it comprises body of at least 100 mothers banded to- gether for the welfare of all the mothers and children. This is the purpose or the Council of Mothers Clubs and Parent Teachers.
