secretary was instructed to cor.
respond further by such associa
ton.
The proposition of soliciting
funds for the Improvement of the

impression that, if the Club rn,
dorses the selling of Liberty Loan
Bonds, the soliciting of Red Cross
and War y. NJ. G. A. funds. an,!
assists in making those PROPOSE
tlons successful, it can accomplish
greater benefit for the Government
than to undertake too many dtfre-
ent features of raising funds. Il
was decided, however, to hold tn,
committee heretofore appoint in

be taken up later on if deemed adj
visable.

navy after physical examination is
greater than that of those accepted,
In part this is due to the fact that
some Of the requirements are more
rigid than necessary Much Of it, Of
course, is due to serious physical de-
fects. There seems to BE still anoth-
err cause for the Disqualification That
is the prevalence of minor defects that
could easily be remedied.
A number of hospitals have offered
their services free for the restoration
of eligibility in such cases. A story
Is told of man who was anxious to
enlist in the National Guard in an
eastern city. He was an inch under
height He insisted that the extra
inch was his, that it was there some
where, but had been lost because he
had been employed for months carry
ing heavy loads on his shoulders He
was given the benefit Of the doubt.
After stiff exercises under direction
for couple Of hours. accompanied
by iudiclous pummeling, the inch was
restored to the mans height. And he
was enrolled in the National Guard.
While not every would,be soldier
has lost inches that could be restored
SO simply, there are numerous minor
physical defects that could be correct
ed. And that is what the hospitals
Intend TO do. It's a mighty sensible
and patriotic service. A lot of physl-
cal defects that have been neglected
simply through carelessness or iglor-
ance will be remedied. II will mean
more recruits for the army and navy
But it will also mean general i'm
pioyement in the physical condition of
a number of American citizens.

There is a new kini of suffrage
measure before the Wisconsin legsia-
ture. 1t is a bill providing for wo
mans referendum on the suffrage
question. II proposes to make the wo-
men of the state. themselves, stand up
and be counted, dividing the suffrage
sheep from the anti-suffrage goats be-
fore proceeding to do anything about
giving them the vote,
Suifragist leaders will probably con
denim this proposition as a hostile
move, intended as an obstacle to their
success In Wisconsin But it is east.
" defended as a practical and sen.
sible measure. Present day society
Ia pretty we'll agreed that women
should have the ballot whenever they
are ready for it, and that it is OF little
use to give it to them before they are
ready. But what is the test of readi-
ness?"
II there Is any dependable criterion,
II must be the w0men's own attitude.
They are ready for suffrage whenever
they have evolved politically far
enough to want 1t and demand it. I'm

fraEe laws are uftile When they have

the fact no democratic community
can challenge their right to full citiz

PREMATURE Old AGE
Can Be Avoided When We
Obey Natures Laws

One of the most fruitful causes of
old age that comes too soon is an i'm
poverished condition of the blood.
There may be many causes for this
condition, but in most cases, the vic
tim is more concerned with results
and relief. Impaired digestion, nerv-
Gus exhaustion and perhaps even
paralysis are the result of neglected
anaemia, or starvation of the blood
The logical relief is to build up the
richness of the blood-not to try to
whip the weakened nerves and
muscles into unwilling action.
One element upon which the blood
largely depends is Iron. This is found
in a most active and condensed form
in DR.. Chase's Blood and Nerve Tab
lets, compounded with NuX Vomica,
Gentian and other remedies that build
up blood and nerves alike. These tab
let's are unlike other tonics because
they stimulate only by feeding the
blood the nourishment it lacks.
The action of DIR. CHASE'S BLOOD
AND NERVE TABLETS is so positive
so remarkable in effect, that patients
are urged to weigh themselves before
taking them, and then watch their
daily increase in weight.

ideas which involved great interests
and large expenditures by both city
and state was the keynote of ;he
ceremony.
Large Crowds Attend
Long before 1890 o'clock, the
time set for the ceremonies to start,
the Capitol Park was lined by peo-
pie and then the school children from
all over the city trooped in from
the local celebrations of Arbor Day
which were made possible by the
city's donations of trees from it's
up the youngsters and the Tech
band enlivened things. Promptly at
1890 superintendent George y.
Shreiner, of the Department of Pub
lie Grounds and Buildings, presented
Mayor Bowman as the presiding Off
Ger. The Mayor was educated in the
public schools of the city and the
students and pupils gave him a tu-
multuous welcome.
The Rev. DR.. Robert Bagnell, pas
tor of Grace Church, made the invo-
cation and then led by the band the
school children sang America" in a
way that made the echoes ring about
Third and Walnut streets. The Gov

Mayor made brief address in which
he emphasized the way the state off,
cials had helped the city in working
out it's park system and the interest
the city had in the creation of a
notable Capitol Park. He pledged
support to the steps necessary to
carry .<out the Brunner- Manning
plans and then with a touch of
humor referred to the old iron fence,
which caused the school boys of some
