BUSINESS GIRLS, CLUB

On Monday evening, the Business
Girls Club met in the Woman's
Building and spent a very enjoyable
evening discussing matters of interest
to business and professional women,
and also making their plans for their
City Beautiful campaign for this sum-
mer.
The usual Platform Talk was given
by Mrs. ] C. Manning on the subject,
gThe Young Woman Citizen" Mrs.
Manning brought out very forcibly
the responsibility of the Business and
Professional woman as a citizen.
"More credence," she said, twill be
placed in her opinion of these things
for the simple fact that her training
has made her accustomed to thinking
things through and reconciling her
actions of the present with the mo It
permanent for reaching results of
the years to come. The spirit of
sympathetic helpfulness has given US
what is called "the new womanhood. :"
Today our civilization is rising to
higher levels because woman has
brought love into law, justice into in
situations, ethics into politics and re-
forms into the common life. The
most effective and far reaching place
for young woman to fill as a citizen
is not so much Office seeking, or places
in the imelight, as the great predom-
mating influence that forces others
to carry on as she directs. Then let
us consider the Young Woman Citizen
as the rudder of directing influence
that shall solve problems and help to
shape in the best way the future
destiny of our nation" Mrs. Manning
also quoted Ida NJ. Tarbell as saying
"In spite of the virtual realization of
woman suffrage in the United States
and the increasing recognition of the
J modern woman in business, the great
est profession open to the woman of
today, as it was to the woman of yes
tetrday, is marriage. Suffrage is a
good thing for woman, but not the
most important thing. The hope of hu-
mainly is not in the restless men and
women of the large cities, but the
more patient, solid people of small
towns and country, who are building
well the foundatin of the nation.
Politics is important because at its
best it brings cooperation between
the basic unit of society. But
the home must continue to be the
foundation, the most important unit
of society,"" Therefore, since the home
is the foundation of society and all
government, and woman the natural
home maker, her influence and efforts
as a citizen should be to. render the
greatest service in her every day liv-
ing.

WHY SUFFER so?

Why suffer from a bad back, from
sharp, shooting twinges, headaches,
dizziness and distressing urinary ills?
Hays people recommend Doan's Kid
ney Pills. Ask your neighborl Could
you ask for stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. W. Enright, Hays, says
"About two years ago I suffered from
a weak and disordered condition of
my kidneys. These organs were ir-
regular in action, causing me incon-
venience and distress and.I had awful
attacks of backache. When l bent
over to pick up anything, became
so dizzy, 1 Guild hardly stand and I
felt weak and tired most all the time.
I also had sick headaches. I saw
Doan's Kidney Pills advertised with
such good results that I got some
from King Bros. Drug Store. The

A MODERN CLEANING PLANT
1t Is oP-tO-Date in Every Respect
and is a Model of Neatness
and CIeanIina..

~ Livery respect
and is Model of Neatness
and Cleanliness
There are but very few Western
towns that can boast of a thorough
first-class cleaning plant having been
established in then. midst. Hays has
one.
Kissing Brothers who own the
North Side Clothing Store and also
the South Side Shoe Store, have one
of the most up-to-date plants west of
the Missouri river. It comprises one
story brick building 2Ox6O, with a
boiler room 11x12 in addition. An
eight horse power boiler; the
machinery is driven by a five horse
power electric motor, which is also
located in the boiler room. One dry
room tubular extractor, two washers,
steam power fire extinguishers
throughout the building. Also steam
heater for winter, and electric lights.
The building has been erected to
comply with the laws of the insurance
underwriters which makes it as near
fire-proof as it can be. The floor is of
cement throughout. Tanks or recep-
tacles for gasoline are placed under
the ground outside the building-one
for new gas, another for cleaned gas,
and still another for used gas. The
used gasoline is run into the tank and
taken from there to the cleaner
machine something like a milk separ-
ator, where the dirt is taken out of
the gas. when it can be used again
The used gasoline goes from the
machines under the cement floor to
the tanks outside, consequently there
is no gasoline in the room only while
washing.
After the clothes are washed they
go into a machine which takes all
the gas out of them. From there they
go into the drying machine, and from
there to the finishing or ironing room
They have two delivery wagons
which deliver the finished garments
every afternoon.
Richard Kissing at present has en-
tire charge of the plant, which is a
guarantee that the work will be well
and faithfully done.
Within the year they expect to put
on another story that will be used as a
tailor shop which will make the plant
complete in every respect.
''There is nothing that succeeds
like success" is an old saying that has
been verified by Kissing Brothers.
