WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Their Organization Rapidly Increasing in This Country.
The woman's club is essentially an American idea, the natural product of our free soil, but it is destined to a wider growth, Emily Tolman observes in Lippincott's. In England, where social conditions are less favorable to its existence, it is gaining in favor, and is said to be looked upon with approval by the Queen. It is slowly spreading in conservative Germany and making rapid progress in republican France. Of the 1300 clubs belonging to the general federation two are in India, one in England and one in Australia.
Doubtless another biennial will see a much larger number of women enrolled in this army whose weapons are more powerful for the overthrow of evil than the sword of the mighty. The unorganized women of France exerted a potent influence in the French revolution. May not the organized women of America be instrumental in bringing about a silent and bloodless revolution which shall be the dawn of a new and glorious day for humanity.
The progressive ladies of Westfield, Ind., issued a "Woman's Edition" of the Westfield News, bearing date of April 3, 1898. The paper is filled with matter of interest to women, and we notice the following from a correspondent, which the editors printed, realizing that it treats upon a matter of vital importance to their sex: "The best remedy for croup, colds, and bronchitis that I have been able to find is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. For family use it has no equal. I gladly recommend it." 25 and 50-cent bottles for sale by Henry Evans, Wholesale and Retail Druggist, 938 F st; Conn. ave. and S st. nw., and 1428 Md. ave. ne.
