To the women of the nation this
utilization of vibration as great
motiyating agency is prominently of
interest.
Woman is the priestess of the home
and of all its concomitants of order
and sanity. Home and women are
complements of each other. without
woman home is void, Without home
woman is a derelict. Woman in the
home is both the benefactor and the
beneficiary. With the home engulfed
there would he swept away the fOun-
dation structure of woman's eminence
and of modern civilization. 1t is to
woman's interest to safeguard her
stronghold.
Woman also is the apostle of or
der and moderation and peaceful adj
justment in contrast to the masculine
arbitrament of. violence and excess.
ANY method that puts social harmony
in place of discord should appeal to
the feminine sense of what is fitting
and profitable for her sex and for So
ciety In general.
Woman, too, is devotee of the arts.
Your women's clubs. practical in pur-

crust they rest A recession Oh civil

Civilization has Its foundation In
productive industry. In organization OF
the human elements into common serV-
ice, but the architect or the edifice
that has been reared thru the cen

woman's touch the human race would
