"Ponce de Leon had it right when
he looked for the fountain of youth
in America. These w. C. 7. U.
women have drunk deep of the elixir
of life, call it what you like. When it
comes to vigor and vim, the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union has the
world beaten. They ire here until
midnight and at it gain the first thing
in the morning. Look at them. Per-
petual youth, is my verdict. Mark
what | tell you. The girls of today
will never have the pep nor the ginger
these women have"
This is the way, according to a San
Francisco paper, the %janitor at the re-
cent National w. C. I. U. convention
held in the Civic Auditorium, sized up
the White Ribboners gathered there
for eve days from all over this ma
ton of ours.
Is the ~disinterested observer, quoted
above, correct when he says that the
women of tomorrow will have less
pep because they have not had the
rather severe but very worthwhile
training as good soldiers in a holy
warfare? The war for righteousness
is not yet over. There is still good
campaigning for the future days.
