The Woman's Club, of this city,
at its meeting last Tuesday, adopted
a motion pledging its members to
cooperate collectively and individu-
ally in the matter of reducing the
mercantile deliveries in Cambridge.
If all of the ministers will now take
up the matter and ask every woman's
society and organization in the yari-
Gus churches to take similar action,
the matter can be greatly relieved.
| 1t does not require great deal of
| thought to make up an order the af-
| ternoon before or the morning that
! it is needed. AS was stated in this
weeks paper, the mothers and grand
mothers of the present generation
! did not think it beneath their digni-
I ty to do their own marketing, and
! they were just as highly, and, per-
haps, little more, respected than
| those today, who have to be waited
upon by inches. This restriction
means much more than many of the
war fadS that so many people are
wild about; it will directly affect ev-
( cry man, woman and child in Cam
bridge, and these are the ones, after
! all, who must back up the govern
ment in this war. 1t is the patriotic
duty of every woman in Cambridge
| to personally, individually, do her
part toward lessening this evil right
here in Cambridge, which runs into
thousands of dollars each year.
