Hb bers interested in all branches of
Il church work as we'll as to help

s,ss All Of the lodges that men be-
;Iaong to have for their purpose the
ssnplift of humanity. The social
y s'klubs are beneficial for they call
Ills together from all our worries
Snd cares, and they divert our
minds from these cares for a GER
~ lain length Of time, and create in
Ks a greater desire to make the
Nest Of life.
I'VE send our children to school
That they may learn to read and
Write, also to learn all branches
! 3f knowledge offered today. for
!, hese are worth while. By the

/ men in any line of business that
they may desire to follow, there

there that they make their final

( Not all of us have had this oppor-
I tunity. now that we are married
/ psnd have homes of our own, and
bur children to raise, we are anxi-
l Gus for them tohave what we were
sdeprived of; so we are working,
ssnd sacrificing all that they may
fkceive the necessary training.
We mothers realize smore than
my one else the need, for If we
S6uld help our children more. we

know what is going on in this

s,Ee must be able to read.
Besides teaching the night
lsschool the faculty of the school
have organized clubs among the
women. We meet in our homes
where we can feel free
and easy, at the same time
I care for our little children. |
4 Ia these clubs we are studying

methods in diet calculations.
Our bodies have energy require
5llnents, body building substances,
