continued, was related in a speech dur ing the convention in Atlanta by a Ro- tarian from Toledo. He told of how the Rotary club there had gone out among the crippled children of that city and found a way to help them. Among them was a lad some 15 years old. He had no feet and no hands, congenital de- formity He had no education. The boy had never learned to smile. He didn't know there was such thing a laugh ter in the world. The Rotarians of Tol- edo sought a school to send him to and found just the institution they were look ing for in Detroit. The boy was sent there. He made excellent progress and Henry P. Ford hearing of the marvellous work that the institution had accom- plished for this poor little deformed creature, made an endowment of $1 ,000 900 to it. while the governor of Ohio also hearing of the boys progress at the n- stitution immediately drew up a bill carrying with it $100,00O to establish a similar institution in that state.
 "All men have the subconscious feel ing that they should do just such things as the man from Toledo related that the Rotarians there had done" Dr. Woodall said, "but it often takes Rotary to make us manifest it in a practical ap- plication as those Rotarians did. The spirit of Rotary has outgrown Rotary clubs, as other clubs all over the world are being formed along the same lines and principles that Rotary follows, namely, to give to the world the best you've got and the best will come back to you. These clubs are being organ ized under different names, but it all

 pr. Percy H. Woodall, one of Birmins- hams most influential citizens, highly honored professional men, and ardent Ro- tarian returning yesterday from Atlanta where he attended the eighth annual con vention of the international association of Rotary clubs expressed himself in the above terse and vital words concerning Rotary and what 1t means in a man g life.
 pr. Woodall is staunch Rotarian from principle and choice; he believes that the spirit of Rotary has a fine eff feet upon men and their bearing toward their fellow men, and he believes that subconsciously all men are Rotarians at heart, though it often takes practical Rotary to make 1t manifest
 Tt was my pleasure" said Dr. Wood all "to be in Atlanta on vocational in spirational day during the convention of International Rotary clubs, and on ac- count of my profession I was naturally interested in the osteopathic vocational section The day--its mission and its ob- ject-was the inspiration of one of the most wonderful addresses I've ever heard MT. McDonald of Toronto a news paper man, was the speaker, and his subject was Rotary As a World Power, and he made some very fine points-points which were excellent. I believe as MT. Mcdonald does, that eventually Rotary will have a voice in the settlement Of great international questions; I believe Rotary will be an important arbiter in settling world matters; indeed Rotary now extends to England, Scotland, Cuba, and Canada, while many other countries would now be factor including France and Germany, which we were making ready to enter if war had not been de- clared and the movement postponed.

Dr. Percy H. Wooda Returns From the Eighth Convention of International Rotary Clubs and
 Talks Interestingly of People and Events

reverts to Rotary. The formation of other clubs has come about largely through the fact that there are so many good men in every profession, and Ro- tary chooses only one from each, hence other organizations, other clubs but all on the same principle.
 .The president of the International Association of Rotary clubs, MT. Arch Klumph" pr. Woodall said, was, of course. one of the most distinguished guests at the Atlanta convention, and, by the way let me say just here that Atlanta entertained the Rotarians roy ally. Her far-famed hospitality was never more conspicuous and the whole city was thrown open to the visiting Ro- tarians, 800 of whom will be the guests of Birmingham today at an old-fashioned southern barbecue at Bayvew. But to return to MT. Klumph: He is splendid example of the progress and fine achieve ment of the young men Of America to- day It is said that he began his busi- ness life as dock hand and today he IS worth millions of dollars. He is a most attractive, genial man personally, and very popular with the Rotarians. Mr. KIumph, although his name would indl- cate A pro-German attitude, is typicaiiy American, and one of the first things that he did after war was declared was to send out to all Rotary clubs an ap- peal to stand by our country anu ouA President and show our patriotism in every way possible.
 "I believe in Rotary first, last and all ways" pr. Woodall declared enthusiasti- cally, "and more than ever since at tending the convention in Atlanta and seeing that fine body of men from all sec tions or~the world assembled with one purpose and one mission in mind-name- ly to help his fellow man, and l con- slider that Rotary is one of the most poe tent developers of the individual that has ever been known"

Few Women of Today Work Blindly

Few Women of Today Work Biindly
 Used to be that daughters adhered strictly to mothers methods Of nome management. They used certain bak- ing recipes simply because they were favorites of former generation.
 Times have changed rapidly, Col leges and clubs have been established for the express purpose of determlning just which baking methods and baking materials are best Many domestic sci entists devote their lives to research and experimental work. They are con- stantly testing food products They conduct exhaustive comparative tests They accept and indorse only such methods and baking processes as have been found superior through scientific measurement of merit These decisions are given wide publicity The result is that the house wife of today produces more wholesome and perfect bakings at less cost than ever before.
 Tn Investigating the decisions hand- ed down by pure food specialists and eminent domestic scientists it is plain ly evident that the overwhelming ma : iority employ and advocate the use of Calumet Baking Powder Calumet has won this popularity among experts on merit alone. They show no partiality. To obtain their approval a product must possess superiority. Calumet has been granted that approval-for sev- eral reasons. First, because 1t Is abso 1utely sure in results--never fails. Next, because it is perfectly pure leaves no trace of harmful residue in foods. Then, because 1t produces a bet ter grade of bakings-cakes biscuits, etc, that are remarkably light, tender and tasty. Finally, because of Calu- met's surety and moderate price--it is the most economicals of all Baking Powders in cost and use.
 This verdict-this hearty indorse ment-cominG from experts who have proved Calumets excellence beyond dispute certainly indicates that Calu- met gives the housewife the utmost in Baking Powder value.-Adv
