Important to All Women
Readers Of This Paper

Thousands upon thousands Of women
have kidney or bladder trouble and never
suspect It.
Women's complaints often prove to be
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result Of kidney or bladder disease.
II the kidneys are not in healthy con-
dition, they may cause the other organs
to become diseased.
You may suffer pain in the back, head
ache and loss Of ambition.
Poor health makes you nervous, irri-
table and maybe respondent; IL makes
any one 50,
But hundreds Of women claim that DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, by restoring health
to the kidneys, proved to be just the
remedy needed TO overcome such condi-
tions.
Many send for sample bottle to see
what Swamp Root, the great kidney, liver
and bladder medicine, win do for them. By
enclosing ten cents to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co.,

work in this country Is that 1t is at
tracing the sympathy of the govern
ment, case which is not true, in a
financial sense, in other countries. The
financial aid of the government to de-
serving clubs Is given through the pub
lie welfare commissioners office.
"A group Of clubs In one Of the prov
inces made a petition, lndorsed by the
federation, requesting the governor
general to set aside n day to be
known as mothers day In the Philip
pines. This petition was favOrably
acted upon, and the governor general
has proclaimed the first Monday of
December of every year as mothers
day in the Philippines.
"The clubs are also petltioning their
legislators to pass a law providing
for the establishment Of n proper
juvenile court in the city. This petit
ton has been presented for the third
time at the last session of the legisIa-
ture and favorably recommended by
the governor general in his message,
but no action was taken on 1t. The
clubs will continue to petition for 1t
until they get 1t established.
another petition which has created
quite a stir among our legislators is
the one asking for the complete aboll-
tlon of cockpits In the islands, cock
fighting being known as the national
sport of the Filipino people. In its
place athletic games are recommended
as a better sport. This petition was
headed by several Of the representa-
tives and senator's and a bill was pre-.
sented In both houses of the legisla-
ture. Both bills were killed after a
deliberate discussion in both houses.
"There are at present 342 women's
clubs in the Philippines in good work
ing order. Added to these are a num-
ber Of Junior clubs, which have for
members girls ranging from twelve to
eighteen years of age. From eighteen
up the women are admitted as regular
members of women's clubs.
"There ar6 approximately 1900
women enrolled as members in the
various women's clubs. A good major
ity Of them (about two-thirds) under
stand and speak English, and they
conduct their meetings and write
their communications in English. The
rest use Spanish or the native dialect
at their meetings and write their COM
munications In Spanish"

Good Portable Lock.

A portable door and window lock
that can be carried in the pocket and
applied anywhere without nails or
screws has recently been invented by
b. N. Wickwire of Carbondale, Pa.
1t consists of a wedge that is placed
between the door and the doorjamb.
The wedge carries a series of fine
teeth that are brought lightly into con-
tact with the wood by pressure upon a
lever. If anyone attempts to open the
door the movement wedges the lock
into the jamb and the teeth grip so
firmly that the entire door frame must
be- torn away, the inventor declares.
before the lock can be forced.

moniously with the government OIL

country in general and their town In
particular.
"Since 1918 the growth of the clubs
In the provinces has been very steady
and encouraging, until today there are
342 wOman's clubs established from
far-north Cagayan to southern JOlo.
"In the year 1921, at the convention
held in Manila, these clubs decided to
federate. and we now have the Ma
tional Federation of Woman's Clubs
Of the Philippines. The federation.
holds an annual convention at which
delegates from the various wOman's
clubs in the islands come to attend. II

taking no part In religion or politics.
"Since the close of the war. the work
of the clubs has extended to wider
field of action. Food production con-
tinues to be one of its activities, for
with better and a more varied diet,
there will be stronger mothers and,
consequently. stronger babies and chill
dren. The principal activity, which ap-
peals to the club women generally, Is
the work in connection with the infant
mortality campaign. With the cOnven-
fences of the law recently passed pro-
vlding for insular aid to all charitable
organizations desiring to carry on per-
manent work in chlld-welfare work,
the interest of the women has become
more keen. Women's clubs are trying
their best to raise funds for their
work. The most progressive ones have
started to do work of their own ac-
cord. and already dispensaries and
health centers have been established
in the bigger towns
Besides these two activities, the
clubs take up the problem Of civic bet.
terment In their localities. Schools and
Fairgrounds have been established
through the initiative OF some clubs
streets and parks have been widened
and made more attractive; and mar
kets and other public conveniences
have always received attention from
interested club women.
"The clubs will continue TO carry on
the work they have started as enum-
Grated in the foregoing paragraphs.
The present program Of work as out
lined and discussed at the last con-
ventiOn. is as follows: ~ Infant

considerable prestige and recognition
In this country Is the Womnn's Club of
Manila. 1t was organized in 1910 by
prominent ladies Of Manila at the ini-
alive of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait.
Since It's organization this club has
always been cosmopolitan one, and
its membership list has always con-
tained the names of prominent ladies
In the city Americans, English,
French, Filipino and others.
Through its various committees the
club succeeded in establishing four
day nurseries in the city of, Manila /;
in getting put up the flower market,
formerly located AT the foot of the
Bridge of Spain, but now In the bo-
tanlcal gardens; in getting an indus
trial teacher for the insane women at
San Lazaro. and n teacher for the
women prisoners at BillbId. The club
also contributed much toward the sue
cess of the Liberty loan campaigns in
the Islands, and helped greatly In Red
Cross work during the war.
During the most critical moment Of
the World war; the Woman's Club Of
Manila, through its civic committee,
conducted an island-wIde campaign I'm

provinces to get the provincial women

to help win the war by working in the
Philippines for a more stable supply of
food products for local consumption
Incidentally, work In connection with
the Liberty loan campaigns and the
Red Cross drive were carried on as a
part OF the task OF the women.
