WORK OF A YEAR
PRESIDENT'S YEARLY REPORT TO WOMAN'S
CLUB r ITS AIMS AND PROGRESS
The full text of the annual report of
Julia Marquam, president of the Woman's
Club, is as follows:
In summing up the work of tho past
year, the fact that impressed memost
was the breadth and expansion of our
work. I judge from the largo number of
committees appointed and resolutions
adopted for action in -matters of
civic and public interest, that the tend
ency was distinctly toward social serv
ice. "As the "Woman's Club stands for prog
ress, we have been appealed to for assist
ance by the leaders of every movement
tt-at Is endeavoring to better our social
conditions. And I am glad to say that
the spirit of our organization has been
one of generous responsiveness, wherever
we foresaw the possibility of practical re
sults. While good results in such large
affaire may not be immediately apparent,
they are euro to follow. Since you have
heard full reports of the other officers, it
is needless for me to go into detail, but
will give you a condensed history of our
year's labors.
"The low tate of our treasury is due
to our unusual amount of expenses this
year. It was the first time that we have
expended money for our regular pro
grams. For this we paid 5100. Our con
tribution to the Domestic Science School
-was $100. Entertaining the State Federa
tion, $127. And dues to the various or
ganizations with which we have affiliated
amount to a large sum. This shows that
this year has been one of unusual activ
ity. "We have at present a membership
of 191, having received 25 new members
during the year. There were 13 resigna
tions, nearly all of whom either left the
city or were married.
"I am sorry to report that we lost
three valued members by death. One hon
orary member, Mrs. A. H. H. Stuart, of
Oljmpia, Mrs. Mary S. "Ward and Mrs.
George H. Myers. "We have had an aver
age attendance of 100.
"During the year the club has held 17
regular sessions, and one special session
for the discussion of the color question.
Wo celebrated our anniversary day by a
very delightful afternoon reception.
"The programmes have been confined to
19th century topics, and have been of a
high order, both entertaining and instruct
ive. The object of the calendar commit
tee was concentration, yet the subjects
cover a wide field. Miss Mabel Carter, of
"Willamette "University, gave delightful in
terpretations of late 19th century poets.
"Mr. Leo Fried talked of his recent ob
servations in Hussla, giving us a vivid
impression of Russia today. Dr. Elliott's
lecture on Bobert Browning was an In
Epiration to all. Mrs. Mundt, leader of the
German department, gave an excellent
paper on Johanna Ambroslus, the modern
ljric peasant poet df Germany. Followed
by an amusing Gorman farce by her de
partment. Professor Means, of "Washington Uni
versity, lectured on the 'Life Work" of
General Isaac S'tevens," making the dry
facts of history glow with interest. Mrs.
C J Card's delightful talks on her recent
trip to Italy were much enjoyed. Mrs.
Jee'pMne Johnson talked Instructively on
the 'Pottery of American Indians.' All
enjoy, d the highly Interesting talks by
Dr. Herbert Cardwell, on 'Arms Rations.'

were delightfully entertained with a mus
ical by the New England Conservatory
Club. I am obliged to omit numerous
pleasant features of our programmes, but
one of the most enjdyable were the many
socials. "We extend our heartiest thanks
to all who so generously assisted in mak
ing our programmes a success. The de
partments that have been doing active
work the past sear were Shakespeare and
French, under the leadership of Mmo.
Bauer; Parliamentary Law, under Mrs.
Hidden; Oregon History, led by Mrs. Mil
ler; the Home, under Dr. Mae Cardwell,
and German, with Frau Mundt as leader.
A new department was formed for the
study of Social Economics, with Dr. Mary
Thompson leader. There are five other
departments in our calendar that have
not had meetings this year for numerous
reasons; the principal one being a lack of
convenient place to meet, showing our
necessity of a clubhouse. "We heartily
appreciate the service rendered the club
by the department leaders, and consider
It of equal value with that of any officer.
The demonstration lessons in cooking giv

the Home Department of our club were
greatly appreciated and successful in
many ways. It laid the foundation for

supporting basis. Although this year was
largely experimental, the board Is much
pleased with the results, and our club
can feel that their contribution of $100
toward its establishment was well cpent.
"We have a standing committee of five
members of our club on that executive
board. A committee was appointed to as
sist in the promotion of tho Lewis and
Clark Fair, but matters were in such ah
indefinite shape that It was considered too
early for them to begin active work. A
committee was appointed to organize a
City Federation of Women's Clubs, with
the object of unifying club work. Alter
untiring effort, the organization was per
fected. The committee recently appoint
ed to co-operate with the Kindergarten
Association in their efforts to place the
kindergarten in our public schools cannot
be too highly commended for their earn
est, hard work. Our only attempt in the
lecture field this year were two lectures
on art, bs Professor John Ivy, which re
sulted in a deficit df 142 25.

pas last year's dues in order to do so.

in ourceHe3 to do this, we would win the
confidence ot the communlts. After a

UlUUIUi ttUlUUUiUUH. a
I beg leave to repeat what I have ssja
before that our purpose should be soOber, of Great Falls, Mont., arrived
strong that all personalities would be lost
sleht of. and I reaffirm that we have a
definite, distinct purpose to work for mu
tual good and for tho good of 'humanity.
But wo can strive for self-culture and
proclaim our generosity of purpose, and
if all this does not result In an tsnlarged
sense of charity toward each other, our
work is In rain. Our club life can be
made wholesome and uplifting by seeking
to discover the good In each other; for all
work is sweetened by approval and em
bittered by criticism. The primary motive
in the club movement was to get awas
from the personal and enjoy the imper
sonal. Whenever we allow the personal
to prevail we have lost the true club
spirit.
"Next to units of purpose, which is the
first essential to club life, I place the
responsibility of the Individual member.
In becoming a member a certain obliga
tion falls upon you; and nothing strength
ens character like this feeling of individ
ual responsibility. For It seems to me
that our most sacred duty is toward our
eelves, and that the greatest Injustice "we
can commit Is to allow ans of our facul
ties to remain undeveloped, or petrified
by Inertia. In attending to the numerous
duties and enjoying the delightful pro
grammes we have all been broadened bs
being lifted out of our .own narrow circle.
"We have had 6ur thoughts stimulated
by being kept in touch with the practical
side of life. I would recommend that the
annual meeting occur on the first Friday
In May. After that time there Is no real
interest in club work. And that dues be
paid annual's. Judging from the expe
rience of the most successful clubs, I
recommend that tho president be eligible
to re-election, for no president can do
herself or her club justice by one year's
service. She has so much to learn, and be
fore her sear Is half finished, she Is
hampered by attention being turned to
ward the choice of a new president. Then
there would be less occasion for politics.
We should follow the example of tho Gen
eral Federation, and show our hearts dis
approval of any political methods, for
they are wholly contrary to club ethics.
For, have we not broad lessons enough
on evers hand of what we should avoid
In the administration of our little gov
ernment? I wish to express my slncer
est thanks to my fellow officers for their
unfailing courtesy and support, more par
ticularly to my recording secretary, upon
whom the chief burden rested, for her In
valuable, efficient service and prompt re
sponse to every demand. I most cordially
thank s'ou all for your loyalts and many
kind words of encouragement. While ms
labors have many times been arduous, I
feel that I have received far more than I

of in their day. And yet, Clark's letter
books covering his corrcspendence for a
period of 30 years, are In the Statehouse
at Topeka. How they got there pobody
knows, exactly. When General Clark died
In 1833, his letter-books were lost; one
das a tew years ngo they turned up In a
second-hand bookstore at Lawrence, Kan
sas, Somebody who understood their
value notified the State Historical SO
cfets. Forthwith they were purchased
and transported to Topeka.
Missouri heard of the find, then went
a word to Washington, "Those books are
oura. Those letters were written In St.
Louis." But the Government officials re
plied: "If Kansas will take care of those
books she has a perfect right to keep
them." " .
And why not? Those letters of the old
Indian Office were the beginnings of the
great West even Oregon. Whenever Clark
wrote a letter he methodically copied It
Into his letter-book. Some of those let

Everybody in Oregon has read of the
four Nez Perces Indians who went to
St. Louis to ask General Clark about "the
white man's b5ok Of Heaven." The tale
has been a subject of controversy. Clark's
letter-books solve the problem. Ho eaya
they were at his house In the Autumn o
1B31. I traced the interesting circum

documents.
The great westward emigration of In

William Walker, looking out larids for
tho Wyanddts, Interviewed them at
Clark's house. On his return to Ohio
some months later Walker published an
account of their errand that resulted in
bringing Jason Lee, Whitman, Spalding

"We have the life of-Willlam, Walker,"
said the librarian. "The author is living

when Walker Siw -our Nes Perces In

Ingenuity and resources with which, when

THE BEAUTY OF CLEOPATRA EXPLAiNE
'Upon what did the beauty of Cleopatra depend? Was it all the
result of her Grecian origin? Or was it, the care, she took of her
body that made her so charming? May be it was the dry cjimate of
Egypt and her freedom from catarrhal derangements

Cleopatra as she was.
vaded by chronic catarrh.
What happens to the facial beauty of such a victim? In the early
stages of the disease, perhaps few noticeable changes occur, but aU
too quickly and as sure as fate her beauty begins to disappear.
Brown spots appear on the white, elastic skin ; roughness qf '
the delicate texture, slight wrinkles smalt pimples, superfluous hair
and branny scales begin to appear one by one.
She might fight these things ith cosmetics, try to conceal them
with face powders, try to assuage them with, bleaching preparations.,
but she is fighting a losing battle.
Nothing but deception can now hide the ugly fact that the once
beautiful skin is becoming coarse and repulsive, '
Her features suffer a similar fate. The once bright, clear eyes
begin to look glassy and watery.
The veins of the whites of the eyes become red and congested.
The edges of the lids assume a scarlet hue.
The lashes with their drooping limberness, which were onceJ
her glory, are becoming stiff and bristly.
That Grecian nose witn its
delicate, sensitive nostrils does
not escape the deformity which
is slowly progressing from fea
ture to feature.
It becomes twisted to one
side. The arch slightly bulges.
The nose becomes puffy.
The end of the nose enlarges and
sometimes gets knobby.
The lips that once pulsated
with tremulous beauty loses by
insensible degrees their tempting
freshness, which is replaced by
cjry, scaly mucous membrane.
Cracks take the pJace of
curves.
Dark red replaces the beau
tiful shade of pink.
Cold sores appear where
once the cleaji outlines of Cupid's
hrnv rpianed Runreme.
In vain she seeks remedies for
Her futile efforts to fight back the ever-recurring crop ot up
pustules avail little or nothing.
She seeks to hide the once sweet breath by resorting to the
scented devices of the pharmacist.
Her struggles are pointless, her industry nnds very little reward.
The horrible fact that she is losing her beauty is forced upon
her consciousness with a grim disregard of pathos or pity.
k Chronic catarrh is doing its work.
Nothing but a radical cure for catarrh will ever save her from the
quicksand into which she is gradually sinking.
Facial experts may temporarily stay the process, complexion
artists may cover the rough surface for a while, but beauty is grad
ually giving place to ugliness, and the handsome girl will finally be
obliged to admit that she Is homely.
If the beauty of Cleopatra would vajiish before the never-ceasing
encroachments of the silent-spreading enemy to beauty chronic
catarrh what then is a handsome girl to do ? Give up in despair ?
Use ith greater determination and liberality the devices that hide?.
The preparations that color up?
There has been another way talked of in medical circles for a
number of years and that is the cure of the catarrh.
Dn Hartman has probably done more than any other physician
toward 'popularizing this means of escape from the grim despair of
facial deformity.
He has made chronic catarrh a life-long study. His remedy,
popularly known as Peruna, is the most famous remedy for catarrh
in existence.
Probably there is not a man or woman, boy or girl, within the
bounds of the United States that has not heard of Peruna. By far
the largest majority have used Peruna.
The multitude of people that have been cured of chronic catarrh
by using Peruna can never be known.
Many a girl has regained her faded beauty, many a matron haa
lengthened the days of her comely appearance by using Parana.
Peruna produces clean mucous membranes, the basis of facial
symmetry and a perfect complexion.
The women have not been slow to discover that a course or
Peruna will do more toward restoring youthful beauty than all the
devices known to science.
Every woman should send for a free copy of Dr. Hartman s
booklet entitled " Health and Beauty." Mention this paper, and
address Dr. Har:man, Columbus, Ohio.
The surgeon was sent for again, and he
found that the elephant's tUsk was decay
ing at the root. Cocaine was injected and
other medicines applied to easa the pain,
but the big fellow seemed to suffer more
each diy. So it was decided to pull the
tusk. But how to do It was another
thing. Tho surgeon, with his assistant,
however, decided on a plan. I was in

been driven. He was then chained to the

Whether it be true or not, the
deformities of beauty are often
more than skin deep.
Take, for instance, the action
of chronic catarrh in the head.
Let us suppose tflis insidious
disease attacks a person gifted
with classical features and pleas

Suppose the victim is a lady
who is justly proud of her beauty.
Stealthily the chronic catarrh
invades the mucous membrane of
the nose, the frontal sinuses, eus

took a long time, but every now and then
more dope would be injected. After tha
hole was bored through the tusk a steel
rod was shoved through the hole. To
this a strong rope was attached. The
long rope was then covered with tar, and
the rope was wound around tho tusk. Tho
ropo was then run through a pulley at

horses was In readiness and the rope was
attached to the traces. When everything
was secure the horses were whipped up.
It was a long, hard pull, but out came the
big tusk. Tho monster elephant, how
ever, fought and tried to get away, but
he was chained so well that ho was pow

fellow was released, and he went back to
his quarters, evidently more satisfied than
any one with the operation."
