The Woman’s Natioual Federa
tion Club is a body that has 763
organizations, represented in 39 dif
ferent states in the Union.
The reports indicate that they
came 50,000 strop g in their celebra
ted gathering in Los Angeles.
We do not wish to give any of
fense by what we say, but simply
call attention to some things that
obtain in bur social life which we
regard as npt being wholesome to
the family, which is a necessity to
our civilization.
The purpose of this organization,
as reported in the daily papers, is to
establish libraries and traveling li
braries, industrial Bohools, and ob
tain for them, where possible, legis
lative appr.opr ationB, supply pic
tures for public schools, positions
for women on the school boards,
and as teachers on hospital boards,
and as nurses; also positions having
charge of children in police stations,
poorhouses, jails, etc, Ab though
,thiB work could not be the better
looked after by men.
Its purpose, also, is to stimulate
the men in lines not only of philan
thropy, but also in education and in
general literary matters, as is por
trayed in the following statement
taken from ihe report of their pro
ceedings, to-wit: "It has long been
felt among club women that, taken
iu the great mass, the business men,
husbands of the club women, are
not keeping pace with their wives iu
altruistic and literary matters.”
Poor men! If they have been be
hind their wives in literary matters
hitherto, how in the name of com
mon sense do they expeot the hus-
baud to keep paoe with his wife in
literary matters henceforth, when by
conditions that are bound to obtain
under the proposed regime, he will
have to remain at home and take
oare of the crying children, dose
them to slumber on grandmother’s
soothing syrup, while his wife is off
attending a woman’s club?
For the husband to work all day,
and returning home at night, have
to take up such duties would be no
speoial affliotion upon the true man
who loves his wife and has no hap
piness except his good wife is the
larger participant with him; but the
affliction falls on the home like a pall
of dense night when a woman con
cludes she can wield a wider influ
ence for good to the race by ventur
ing into public life,or contribute her
foroe in the aggregate, as in a wo
man’s club. Indulging such thoughts
unfits her for wife or mother, and
when she assumes such duties she is
unworthy of either, and the greatest
blessing God could sand to her day
and generation, with reference to
her, would be to smite her and her
home with the awful plague of bar
renness.
Wonderfully true and fearful is
the voice of nature, howe\er, about
this very thing in declaring with
fearful judgments that such a home
where these things obtain either be
comes unfruitful or void of the
sweet, motherly influence, drifts in
to the wildest oonfunsion, anarchy
and ruin,
Wliooping Cough.
A woman who has had experi
ence with this disease, tells how
to prevent any dangerous oonse-
quenoes from it. She says: Our
three children took whooping
cough last summer, our baby boy
Wug only three months old, and
-owing to our giving them Cliam-
'b'erlain’s Oough Remedy, they
ilOst none of their plumpness and
-came out in much better health
than other children whose parents
did not use this remedy. Our old
est little girl would call lustily
for oough syrup between whoops—

Andrew Carnegie refers; to himself
as a “reformed” business man. In
London the other day he said: "I
am not in the navigation syndicate,
having retired from business and re
formed.” What does Mr. Carnegie
mean by "reformed?” There are, by
the way, some persons who are-of
the opinion that while he was in
business he stood . sadly in need of
reformation.

An Irresistible Partnership,
There is a partnership of three in
the industrial world when an enter
prise is planned. The first of these,
not in importance, but in time, is
Capital Without it nothing costly
can be built. From it comes the
first breath of life into matter previ
ously inert.
s The structure reared, equipped
and ready to begin in any line of in
dustrial activity, the second partner
comes into operation. That is Bus-
ness Ability. Capital has done its
part. It has provided all the instru
mentalities of production; but unless
it can command the services of able
men to manage the business, all
that Capital has done crumbles into
ruin.
Then coraeB the third partner, last
in order of time, but not least, La
bor. If it fails to perform its part,
nothing can be accomplished. Capi
tal and Business Ability, without it
brought into play, are dead. The
wheels cannot revolve unless the
hand of Labor starts them.
Now, volumes can be written as
to which one of the partners is first,
second or third in importance and
the subject will remain just as it
was before. Political economists,
speculative philosophers and preach
ers have been giving their views on
the subject for hundreds of years,
but the answer has not yet been
found, nor can it ever be, because
each of the three is all-important,
and every one is equally essential to
the other two. There is no first,
Becond or last. There is no preced
ence?
They are equal members of the
great triple alliance which moves
the industrial world. As a matter
of history, Labor existed before
Capital or Business Ability, for
when "Adam digged aud Eve span”
Adam had no capital, and if one
may judge from the Boquel neither
of the two was inordinately blessed
with business ability, but this waB
before the reign of industrialism be
gan and huge investmen ts'of capital
were necessary.
The three are equal partners of a
grand whole. Combined, they wi-rk
wonders; separate, neither ip > f
much aocount. Thus far, notv nli
standing the differences that from
time to time have unfortunately
rent them apart, they have made
the closing century the most benefi
cent of all that have preceded it.
Humanity, the world over, is better
than it has ever been, materially and
morally, and I have the faith that it
is destined to reach higher and loft
ier places than even the most san
guine have imagined.
Capital, Business Ability and La
bor must be utilized. He is an ene
my to all three who seeks to sow
seeds of disunion among them.—
From Andrew Carnegie’s "The Em
pire of Business.”
Like a Drowning Man.
“Five years ago a disease the
doctors called dyspepsia took such
hold of me that I could scarcely
go,” writes Geo. S, Marsh, well-
known attorney of Nocona, Tex.
“I took quantities of pepsin and
other medicines but nothing help
ed me. As a drowning man grabs
at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I
felt an improvement at once and
after a few bottles am sound and
well.” Kodol is the only prepa
ration which exactly reproduces
the natural digestive juices and
consequently is the only one which
digests any good food and cures
any. form of stomaoh trouble.

Oharles Battell Loomis, the au
thor and lecturer, in a recent article
in the Saturday Evening Post, tells
a little bit of a narrative with a
large moral to it. It is about a
young man who once wrote a story.
It was accepted by and published in
a magazine, and made quite a hit.
But the young man was not quite
sure it was a good story. He want
ed somebody who was competent to
speak to tell him it was meritorious;
to set his fears at rest; to enco..rage
him to go on and write more. But
not a soul of all his readers said one
word to him about the matter. He
became discouraged and went into
a business for which he was totally
unfitted, and his life was a failure.
That, in substance, is the story. The
moral of it is: “Any flattery is far
too much flattery, but sincere and
discriminating praise is what makes
tie wheels go ’round. Don’t with
hold it.”
This moral is applicable in every
line of human endeavor. Discrim
inating praise is one of the most
powerful Btimulants to higher en*
deavors and loftier purposes. Un
fortunately a great many who are in
a position to bestow it are blind to
that fact. They go rather upon the
principle that any criticism must be
necessarily adverse and severe, and
that the best way to improve a
struggler is to find as much fault as
possibh, and "rub it in” as hard as
possible every time a fault is found.
Good points, creditable achieve
ments, are never mentioned; they
are regarded as a matter of course;
but let an error occur, and there is
the mischief to pay at once. Many
a poor working boy and girl has
sobbed his or her heart out on the
pillow at night because the employ
er had not only neglected to com
mend some meritorious deed of the
day, b.it had actually been brutish
because of some picayunish over
sight or shortcoming not actually
worth a moment’s thought. Noth
ing can be more discouraging to
o oisniuntious, loyal, painstaking en-
d-avor on the part of an employe
Uutu the total lack of appreciation
a.ul sympathy on the part of the
employer. And the same is true of
the scholar and his teacher; of the
author and the painter and their
publio.
Sincere and discriminating praise,
a few words of encouragement well
timed, may not “make the wheels
go ’round,” bat it will unquestiona
bly make them run much smoother
and do more and better work.
The Chicago Chronicle (Don-.)
says: "There is at least one very
cheering piece of news from the na
tional capital. It is that there is no
longer a ghost of a chance for the
Hanna-Payne subsidy bill, at least
during the present session of con
gress, and probably not at any time.
It is the steamship merger that has
done it. Congressmen are satisfied
that it will not do to vote money to
that huge combine, at< least so long
as elections are impending. We are
indebted to this great combine of
Laborer Morgan, therefore, for one
good result.”
Won’t Follow Advice After Pay
ing For It.
In a recent article a prominent
physician says, “It' is next to im
possible for the physician to get
his patients to carry out any pre
scribed course of hygiene or diet
to the smallest extent; he has but
one resort left, namely, the drug
treatment.” When medicines are
used for chronic constipation, the
most mild and gentle obtainable,
such as Chamberlain’s Stomach &
Liver Tablets, should be employ
ed. Their use is not followed by
constipation, as they leave the
bowels in a natural aud healthy
condition. For sale by all dealers
