I saw on the sidewalks fruits and wagetaolea an( pickles and various other fcatabtes." "Not fiat on the sidewalks, untie," objected Edith. "Well, they fat re In bojtes and tuba and miscellaneous aeptacfes, but sitting flat and low, ugh in sotee places there were little les gnd shelves, but even they were objectionable. ' On this same sidewalk I $aw disgusting pools of tobacco juice and Jother things' equally objectionable. The JHtfSeta andcrpsslngs were filthy with accumulated dirt. People carried this nto the sidewalk with their feet. Little breezes dried up and blew it about, and much of it settled on the fruit and other eatables exposed In its vicinity. I saw" "How disgusting; do stop talking about It," Interrupted Edith. "No; let her tell us all aio saw and ' thought," expostulated her ' mother and eaw mothers buying of all this, and they took it home to their families, and I eaw children and adults eating the fruit, Unwashed and mostly unpeeled. I was reminded that the doctors are busy with dysentery and fever cases, and the little (white hearse travels often to the ceme tery nowadays: "I think the grocers should not be al lowed to expose their stuff to the dust and jheat like that," proclaimed Edith, lndlg fiantiy. Kataerlne Alert smiled t her. "Now Jtou've said apmethlng sensible," ahe be- I "Oh, but that'a business; .- tha laws Bshould' not Inteifere with a community's tpusmess interests that is a legitimate livelihood." interrupted Arthur. "6o is healing the sick a-busineas; why not let. all the kids In town be exposed to scarlet fever or diphtheria. When one or two catch those diseases, so that doctors ban all get rich," retorted JUs Ister ' '.'But that's another matter, that would injure the whole community; one must always consider the good of the greatest number."- "' i "Just what we are discussing under the iead of sanitary foods, my dear boy," .re plied his aunt. "I em not sure that the grocers do as iwell as they would if they observed sani tary rules a little better," observed Mrs. Beam; "for Instance, I was out shopping fwlth Mrs. Brc-CKman the other day, and Rfter,we were through in the department b tores we came up the streets and looked? around tor eome nice fruit to take, home: to the children, but all we saw was ao' dusty and aun-baked that we went to a confectioner's and after eating ices we bought ginger cakes and chocolates 'for the little onea. I think many are dis gusted "with the outside exposure, and use canned goods, more meats and made dishea in preference to bad fruit and veg etables." ii-;-,):W':.i' -..; ' . i .v.' Edith next aaid; "I think tt would bo more businesslike, to keep (t Inside, in, a nice,' cool room, arranged In nice, tempt ing rows and heaped with- a Uttla tinkling fountain ear; people would Step in to avoid the heat outside for a minute, and. seeing- so much that was' good, they would leave large orders on the spot" "They- Could -have those gay .litho graphs of cur-melorts and ther luscious fraUa In their, wtndawa tor ads.,'' chimed in Arthur, . ; ' v .I tell you. if the- women In- this town saw this matter aa I do, they almply would not patrols grocers wlio do not observe sanitary laws and fail to con sider the health of their patrons," con tinued Mrs. Alert "I am reminded of a Xuneral I once attended when I was a yaing girt Three in a farmera famUy a few mjles from where X was spending some weeks in the courtly all died of feyerr There was a mother jbd two little eltUdren-irl theIiere-rand' four boya were left The neighbors talked ft good I deal about tbe sad affatri he and the village paper, together with the officiating minister, ail agreed that It was a 'mys terious dispensation of Providence.' The next day I took a hdraebacfrtrida to Visit a distant and rather eccentric relative of mine. 8he waa almost tostraclsed from good society I the' community because she never went to church, and it waa whispered by some' that ahe Was an in fldeL I remember the lovely old farm-' house the fioww garden, Ihe orchards and 4love fields and the air of peaoe yet j-quUe thrift. that pertaded there.

Inde pendence fascinated me, while it held my rastfecti 1 r4 in lUrWfitoii tiousehow myself, and I ..used to eoan her rugged features and. wonder Jf she really would go to Ml when she died or if aha would nave a deathbed repentance.; I secretly hoped she would not capitulate at the last moment because I thoufght it a cowardly course of action. Well, aha askedVxne the news, and I told tier of the death of Mrs. Tyson and her girls, and ahe questioned me in a quiet voice as to peoples opin ions about it. for we had gradually dis- ctAaed a little the mysteries of lite and death. I gave her the paper to read, which I had brought with me, and after she had absorbed its comments ahe sat gazing down the orchard path for a bit, and Anally said:. IBoor Providence, bow many of humanity's Bias of lonoraace and selfishness are1 laid at your door.' 'Why, Aunt Vashtl, don't you believe God thought best to take them to hsaven?' 1 aaked, faatening my eye on her-face. fine turned. Jo me solemnly. TCarher Ine Good -nough, did you ever call around that Ty son place?' 'No, aunt; I'Tievef Was there.' TVell, the well water is Just at the corner ct the back porch, the ground south of the house towards the barn In considerable elopin', and 'the Tysons- have cows and raise right smart number of hogs. 'The pens are right alongside of, the mtlkln' shed. Now, all the water from , the barn and ahed and pigpens drain towards that well- Then Mrs. Tyson had her alop bar rel by the porch, so 'twould be handy, and It ran over and the water seeped Into tne ground. No, my dear. the. Creator of men gave them yes to aee with and noses. to amen with, and sense enoufn to use them properly if they would only "do so. That Tyson wall lsChock,fult of fever bugs, and the vest of the family Is atlin', I'll warrant; it's, a wpnder they ain't all died -oft long ago." ' - ;That reminds me of Gussle Kline! you jknow she always says what she thinks, (and When' h$ , was condoled over the death of her little cousins in Salt Francis co pf jltphtheriai.n few -year ago, and told that God loved to take the Innocent children to His Jieavenly mansion, she said she believed that. God wnhld rather the street commissioners would stop steal ing -so much and put the money Into de cent aewerage and then children wouldn't die like sheep,' said Edith. "It seems to me, as the women are the ones who keep neat homes and see that they are clean and wholesome, - they ,are the"- ones to elect on city boards;., they should take an active part in Civil -improvements," declared Arthur;' ' " "You are right . there, , my noble nephew.", answered his 1 aunt, "and if there IS ariy real good accomplished in these matters it Is the women who are going to get at it and see that it is done.

Owing to the recent aotlvttiea of the National Civic Improve anent League, many suppose it to be a new thing for club women to embrace but' on the contrary' it was among the earliest recommendations and work plan ned by the General Federation and urged upon the .women of Oregon by their state president, Mrs. C B. Wade who was the first member of the National League -in the state. At the third biennial an ad dress by Mrs, Han, of Montclair, N. J created so touch enthusiasm for the work.lt has found a prominent place In club life ever since. It Is to be regretted that, as clubs, the Portland women were slow to sea their opportunity and allowed an- Independent league to be formed, not that the Work ta not being well done, for we hear of these distressing billboards having war declared against them, vege tables and fruits being given a little less Of ths sidewalk and all those things that ipen have to pass in going to more Im portant business, but when club women are at ths Obelm, we bear less of the things obnoxious, "fold their tents like the Arab and sa quietly steal away." But if the work of Portland Is not In the hands ot ths club women It Is hoped they will warmly support It and in that way assist ths state commltee. " AN EARNEST WORKER. The most earnest and by far the earl iest Worker tn the field of civics Is Mrs. M. A. Shafford, of the Portland Woman's Qlub, Mrs. Shafford has been making the subject a study for years and on several occasions -went to payton and Sprlngr field. Ohio.. for the purpose of studying the practical application ot their ad vanced ideas. She is now engaged In bringing this- knowledge before people -who can be most benefited by it, and has found a ripe harvest among the farm ers and farmer's wives, at their various grange assemblies. A "rest room" for farmer's wivea-when they come to town Is one of ths obJecta engaging her atten tion at this . time. , MpS. HAILEY'S VIEWS, Mrs. John Hailey, Jr., of Pendleton, chairman of the State Educational Com mittee: made the following statement, coincides with views expressed In the alub column of this paper not long ago: "All thoughtful, people . are. becoming wars df the fact that the present gen eration of pubo Vfchool children is in ignorance of the Bible. No one can claim to be well educated who has but slight! knowledge of ths Bible. Club women might maks successful ths effort to -Introduce Bible teaching tn ths public echooli If merely, taught aa literature." One is almost tempted to offer a loving cup prize for the first' club that reports a Bible study class. FOR WOMEN'S OUTDANCES.
