THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
If the blood is very impure. the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled. the step loses its
elasticity. and there is inability 10
perform the usual amount of labor.
The skin loses it's clearness, and
pimples. blotches and other erup'
lions appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. It is positively unequaled in
the treatment of scrofula and other

Report Of Gym Department.

REPORT OF S$Tu OSfAt S"Sbss
The activities in the gymnasium
during the spring term were as 1ol-
lows: A business girls party, roller
skating party for the grammar school
boys and girls, business girls st.
Patrick's party, surprise birthday
party, three spreads, two slumber
parties, basketball tournament,
business girls exhibition at the Z
M. C. A. and the May fete given by
the juniors in the park.
We have had quality not quantity
in the gym this fail, however. great
er amount of quantity would be an
incentive both to the classes and In
structor.
The fall term OF the gymnasium de
partment was started off by a group
OF merry high school girls whc With
frying pans, bacon and eggs and
buns, hiked happily along the coun
try roads to a delightfully."- secluded
spot by the side of a cliff. There
they built a fire and cooked and fairly
deyoured their supper.
Another very interesting event was
the River Beach picnic, which was
enjoyed by the business girls. They
were guided to the chosen spot, whic.,
Law among the willows by brightly
burning camp fires. The night was
made perfect by the new moon which
was watched while sitting around the
fire cooking, eating, and getting &C
quainted.
Several demonstrations OF gym
work have been given during the fall
at various kensingtons, open house,
and at the minstrel show. The girls
did splendid work and needless to
saw the guests greatly enjoyed their
program. The Halloween party was
the most popular party given, ninety
girls entering into the FRANKS OF
witch, ghost, and goblin.
The most attractive party was that
given by Mrs. Rich to the girls OF
the Purity Oats factory. The party
was held in the auditorium where
supper was served. Music, speeches,
readings. and aesthetic dances were
part of the evening program.
The business girls fireside Christ
mas party turned out to be a get.
acquainted party and the girls beg
ced for another soon. The party
was so informal that they couldn't
HELM getting acquainted as they sal
around the open fire, sewing. playing
the Victor, examining popcorn and
apples. No special Christmas party
was given the high school girls as
they were included in the student
branch party The childrens' party
was not as elaborate as usual. They
mad their Christmas story, but they
were very much disappointed because
their party" consisted only of ap-
MES instead of the usual ice cream,
and cake. So we have promised
them a real party for Valentines
day.
Among the new features In the
departm ent is the class for married
women. They are educated now to
believe that all work and no play
makes them grow stiff and gray. They
saw that it is place Of rejuvination.
Interest is growing in the aesthetic
dancing class. The girls are doing
fine work and are about ready to start
ON the second term OF lessons.

and September. our members enjoyed

General Secretary Of Cedar Rapids
Association, Makes An Interest
Ing and Profitable
Address.

The membership dinner followed by
the annual meeting OF the Young
Women's Christian association was
held last evening in the Y. w. G. A.
Reports for the year were read, and
seven members Of the board OF direct
ars were reelected. Supper was serv-
cd in the main dining room, and
there was good representation OF
members present for the supper and
meeting.
The seven directors who were re-
elected to the board were Mrs. H. @.
Brown, Mrs. r. F. Weinberg, Mrs. T.
R. Board, Mrs. Anna Steele Robinson,
Mrs. H. r. Miller and Mrs. e. Layton.
The address of the evening was
made by Miss Jessie Vogt. general
secretary Of the Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Y. w. C. A., who spoke from the book
"The Social Principles OF Jesus" Miss
Vogt showed how these principles
were being adapted to present day
lives: how the people OF the present
dav are becoming interested ii other
people, and how conditions are being
revised to meet the needs of condt-
lions which are daily arising.
The work Of the Y. w. G. A. was dis
cussed in its relation to the dealings
with the Indians. the negro work and
the country work, where the best of
the attractions OF city life are brought
to the country girl, thus removing the
temptations growing out of that life.
The work OF college girls in this re-
spect in the summer camps and the
like was outlined. Miss Vogt's talk
was timely and pertinent to the ques.
tons of today and was well received.
