we'll. that 1t was thought we'll to try
and see IL the apparatus could not be
protected somewhat. The club LADIES'

denied the allegation in the Des
Moines paper last week, and the club
ladies had it announced a number OF
times at the chautauqua that the
statement saying the garments were
valueless was false for it seems in that

propaganda dope" than see the de-
NAL.
